closes Latest Ruse of
BootIeggers.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Whisky-
filled torpedoes fred across the
Great Lakes from Canada is the lat
est ruse adopted by bootleggers to
get supplies Of liquor into the for
hidden territory of the United
States. Several OF the torpedoes
filed with liquor have been captured
by prohibition enforcement inspec-
tors along the shores of the lake.
Mai. A. V. Dalrymple, inspector
for Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and
Michigan, laid the details of the
scheme before Prohibition Comnis-
sioner Kramer today. He asked Is
more agents for the Chicago dis
trict in order to make more effective
the blockade on liquor shipments.
Il intercepted one of the torpe-
does myself" Major Dalrymple said,
and therefore | know what l am
talking about. The Aorpedo leaves
the Canadian shore at a moderate
speed, travelling about three feet un-
der water. When it is near the Mich
igan shore it is picked up by men in
a small boat, who are in the pay of
the smugglers. Agents under nv di-
rection captured one of these boats
while the crew was Engaged in
taking the torpedo out OF the water.
The Great Lakes are filled with
all kinds of launches engaged in
smuggling liquor from Canada, but
we are fast getting the upper hand.
We seized more than S2,5OO.OOO
worth OF liquor in the district dur
ing the last few months. In the
last two weeks we seized over $4,000
cases. We could use many more
men and that is the reason for nv
visit to Washington at this time
Chicago has only II agents and
could easily use 50.
Commissioner Kramer told Major
Dalrymple that the money appropri-
ated for the enforcement of prohibi-
ton did not permit him to appoint
any more agents at this time. He
said he believed more men could be
used in the Chicago district to great
advantage, but could not supply any
more now.
The commissioner said that en-

absolutely futile.

1t may be just some one thing that
stands out in color that offends the eye
OF the casual observer. 1t is then sub
ject to one of two simple remedies. Eth
er the offending object can be~removed
and replaced, or it can be balanced by
something else. A color that is in strik-
ing contrast to the rest of the room
may be too glazing in one spot if it lis
mot balanced with some other object,
either in the Same color, or in another
of equal intensity, placed some place
else in the room.
BY repeating this one color note a
perfect harmony may result that will
make the room far more interesting
than it would be if reduced to a more
simple color scheme. 1t may be the
means Of introducing the touch of orig
inality and interest that lend it-indi
viduality.
One of the most deplorable things
about the average home today is the
sameHess of it. You go from house to
house and YOU see the same furniture,
reproduced time and time again, set
in the same relative position in home
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1920-09-15

after home, the same materials used in
upholstering and in draperies, even the
same stereotyped bric-abrac is placed
in the same deadly way.
Unconsciously YOU long to take a
lamp or a vase and put it some place
else. You would be so relieved if that
davenport and that table were placed
in a different relation to each other.
This is particularly true of many of the
furnished apartment houses which are
fitted in this way. Davenports, chairs,
tables, beds. lamps and all other kinds
Of furnishing and accessories are pur-
chased in wholesale lots and except for
few personal pictures or books, or
something Of the sort, every apartment
is identical with every other apart
ment.
The living rooms are apt to he grey
and mulberry, the dining rooms blue.
and the bedrooms are invariably carried
out in insipid blues and pinks. There is
no reason for this. There are those
who prefer the lighter colors for bed
rooms, but even these may show de-
cided lot of originality. They do not.

have to adhere to the fiat and uninterx
esting Nschcmc of pink and white or
blue and, white.
There are charming combinations for
the bedroom that can he made with law
ender, green, tan and yellow and any
number of different and interesting
shades. They can be just as dainty,
just as attractive, and still they Will
reflect personality and stand out in the
minds of all who see them.
Rooms are quite like persons. There
are some that are pleasant and agree
able, but that leave no definite Impress
ion. There are others that jrritate
and annoy us by5,some little foolish af-
fectation which does not harmonic at
all with the real thing, the substantial
thing beneath the surface and there
are again some that remain indelibly
in our minds because of some original
ity or cleyerness which at first sur
prises and then pleases lust and makes
that particular room a vivid and de-
lightful memory for us always.
This is not entirely due TO the color
scheme of the room. 1t is just as like

ly to be the selection of furniture. PEG.
pie ATE too prone to buy furniture in
sets" This is all right in the case of
the dining room, perhaps, that all the
chairs should match and that the other
pieces Should follow the same design
and pattern. This is a formal room
and the set furniture lends to the for
mality of it.. 1t gives the proper at
mosphere and this is an essential thing.
In general however the American
home is not formal place, we are not
essentially a formal nation. Our homes
are built to live in and by living we
mean being comfortable and at ease.
This is more possible if the house is
not carried out after too rigid scheme
of furnishing and decorating. Odd
pieces in the living room and bed rooms
make them more informal. more livable,
more cozy, more comfortable.
Another thing that has a definite in
fiuence on the appearance of the room,

are the pictures on the walls, and the
manner in which they are hung. Every
room should have some pictures to add
to its interest, but they should not be
hung in hapliaZard way with no re-
gard to the rest of the room. Here
again the unity Of the scheme must be
taken into consideration. Perhaps the
colorlng of the pictures will afford the
distinctive touch that will make a room
stand out from all others. Pictures
should be hung with some regard for
the placing of the furniture, of the
doors and the windows.
Small units combine to make up the
general effect and in many of these a
picture is the tie that binds. When

perhaps some candesticks or some
books, with perhaps a very handsome
vase that reflects one of it's predomii

To have an attractive home does not

money. There are luxurious homes and
there are more moderate ones, but the
