W0MAN's SUCCESS IN
ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL

The Woman's Roosevelt Memorial
association had raised up to June
1, approximately 100000.
This has been accomplished in "A
period of about a year and four
months.
The association has enlisted the
support of about $1,000 contributors
whose CO. operation has ranged from
the few pennies of an earnest and
sincere school child to contributions
of $1,000.
The collection of the fund has
been attended by many very path
etic incidents, an example of which
is found in the ease of the mother
who discovered n dollar in the cloth
ing of her son who had been killed
while fighting in France. This dol
lar she sent to the association be-
cause her son had loved and ad-
mired Roosevelt. and she concluded
that an appropriate use of the
money was to give it for the re-
storation of the birthplace

RIGHT USE OF COLOR

Successful color harmony in dec
oratiOns takes into consideration
not only the choice Of color tones,
but also the influence of the differ
ent colors in their relation to the in
dividual human being and while one
may not care to endorse all the
extremes that psychologists may
claim. we know that we are in
fluenced more or less by color ac-
cording to conditions and tempera
ment.
Some colors cause unrest to GER
tain individuals, while others find
the same color pleasing and har-
monious. Because the same color
does not effect all people the same
way, We can only assume that the
difference lies in the human mind
and not in the color itself.
