guide in the decoration of homes.
lie decorated two health rooms one with walls
of pale sunshiny yellow, with ceilings Of sky blue and
soft blue curtains. The other room was in delicate APP
pie blossom pink. What ne has done is simply to bring
into the room the colors of out-of-doors; and just IS
the out-Of-doOrsy people are healthier and happier
than the shut-ins, so, he insists, will the bringing of
natures lively colorings into our houses tend to make
Us happier and healthier. There is no question that he
is right about it. Any one who has suffered consciously
or unconsciously with dark, dull rooms or glazing,
kideous, impossible rooms, and has experienced the Joy
Of having them redecorated in simple pleasing colors,
will agree.
We need to think more about our home surroundings
and their effect on body and spirit, and it does not re-
quire the services of an artist or an expert decorator
TO help, either. 1t is cleanliness, light, the color of
sunshine, the pink of the rose, that make people feel
happy. And these are obtainable even for the people
Of small means.
OF course yellow wallpaper or pink curtains won't
do it all. But they are part of a cheerful, healthy
scheme of things. And the burdens which wallpaper
can not tighten might seem at least a little less UNI

NEED OF THE BUDGET.
louisville Courier-JOurnaI.)

swagar sherley is again trying to effect the adoption
by congress OF tire budget system of making apprOpria-
ttons and the president has again expressed the wish
that he may succeed, a wish which the majority of the
representative newspapers Of the country share. Tbs
reform has been pressed by Mr.. Sherley for years. and
it would be 81 browning triumph Of his congressional
career If he could accomplish 1T.
The obstacles, however. in his path. and which have
hitherto blocked all his efforts. are such as it is most
difficult TO overcome; for they grow out of the in
dividual congressmens desires for important commit
propriations pork" and getting generous slices of a.
for their special constituents.
Formerly the appropriations were in the hands of p
single committee in each branch of congress. But this
and it made it entirely too troublesome to do effective
maneuvering and trading for particular appropriations.
When. for instance, the appropriations for rivers ana
EarbOrs, or for public buildings, were in charge Of d
committee which looked after them together with tho
many other appropriations which il devOlves on con
gress TO vote. that committee could not be so well
worked for appropriations for local interests as a sell
arate committee created 20 handle such appropriation
exclusively. which would proceed without reference O.
the demands on the treasury for appropriations
general. and which would offer far more workable ma
ch4nery for log-roIling and hog-kuling. So the apprc
priatiOns were divided among various committee
many new committee "honors" were provided. and IL
total Of appropriations Immediately increased and h.
continued 10 increase ever since.
A budget system OF dealing with all the appropri
tons would 60 far TO remedy this serious evil. II w.
never needed so much as right now. when the wa
has sweled our expenditures so enormously, accIs
toned US TO extravaganza as a matter OF course auc
piled upon US mountains OF taxation which must o.
press US long after peace has been proclaimed. IT,
least that our congress can do is TO do what is possibi
10 coordinate and economize our expenditures, thu
Tightening the burden to that extent UnquesionabN
much In this direction can be done through the adop
ton Of such a budget system as Mr.. Sherley urges. ar-
the congressman who for selfish reasons takes il upo
himself 10 oppose IL proves recreant TO his plain dut
and unworthy OF the trust that has been imposed e.
