HoaU 1t FORKS

1.-The colors are we'll chosen and the
whole effect of the wards is bright and
pleasing, If som ewhat unrestful to the
ordinary observer. With regard to the
effect of this scheme of decoration
on the patients, careful inquiry from
the medical officers, sisters and patients
has elected the following facts:

tary sense) in Ward than in any of
the other wards. This fact is of i'm
portance and needs further trial and
investigation, as it appears to be a
strong point in favor of the color
scheme. 1t may be mere coincidence
1t may be due to the influence on the
men of a tactful and suitable charge
sister. A measure of the value of the
sisters management in a neurological
ward is the presence or absence of
military offences. Further, it is pos
slble that the men have pride in
the ward as being a show place, and
their conduct consequently improves.
Ii the last factor is of importance it
would naturally disappear if the whole
hospital were treated in the same way.
These comments indicate a path for
further investigation of the fact.

to any surroundings, and that the mind
has the capacity of dissociating from
consciousness any conditions that are
unpleasing and by that means protect

"5. A young officer who had been un-
able to sleep for many nights unless
with the help of sedative drugs while
in France was placed in room in
which purple predominated. He Slept

This case has been quoted as an es-
ample of the soothing effect of the
purple room, but any medical officer
who has dealt with neurological cases
can quote dozens of similar instances
where the patient gave the credit for

removed, and where there was moth
ing in his surroundings that was PEI
culiar.
Sc. The patients who occupy beds in
the pink room show q tendency
to sit there rather than in the other
rooms.
"Taking all these facts into considera-
ton, it does not appear that the par
ticular scheme of decoration here de-
scribed has any more effect than would
be achieved by any cheerful decora-
ton chosen by an expert in the blend
ing of colors. 1t is generally recog-
nized that the effect of color in our
surroundings is personal one, and
except in the widest sense cannot be
imposed upon US by another person suc-
cessfully.
SIT is obvious that an unfamiliar dec
orative scheme may be utilized as
means of producing a state of sugge estf-
bllity in a patient and assist in the
removal of symptoms, as is instanced
in case mentioned under paragraph
3. This fact is capable of extensive
use, but the result is not obtained by
any virtue in the color chosen but by
the suggestion which it is made to con-
vey.
"There can be no doubt that hap

one that is decorated with the usual
dull colors chosen for utility and
economy, but it would be incorrect to
state that the scheme of colors which is

Flying to India

WITH the arrival in Calcutta of
a Handley-Page airplane, the
first epoch-making aerial trip from
England to India was completed
says writer in ''The Scientific
American" who continues:
"The landing of the huge biplane on
the race course in Calcutta was wit
messed by the Viceroy and Lady
Chelmsford, the governor of Bengal
and an immense crowd of Europeans
and natives, to whom the second ap-
pearance of an airplane in Calcutta
was a great attraction.
"The trip was made without serious
mishap via Egypt and Mesopotamia, a
distance of about 6,700 miles by the
route followed. An average speed of
85 miles an hour was maintained, and
many stops were made. The original
trip from London to Egypt was made
for the purpose of military inspec-
ton, and it was then decided to con-
tinue to India, with stops in Meso-
potamia, for further inspection duty
From Delhi to Calcutta the machine
carried six persons.
"There has been considerable dis
cussion with reference to an aerial
mail service between England and In
dia, the British Aerial Transport Com
mittee considering that the trip from
London to Calcutta can probably be
made in four days, as against the
minimum of eighteen days via Brin-
disi required by rail and ship.
investigations are now being made
with view to establishing an aerial
mail service in India, and it seems
reasonable to predict that within p
few months one will be in operation.
With the easily obtainable average
speed of seventy miles an hour. the
Journey from Bombay to Calcutta
could be made in seventeen hours in
stead Of forty-six by rail, the Bonn
bay-Simla trip could be cut from two
days to fourteen hours, and Karachi
would be only ten hours from Delh;
instead of forty-eight."
