CAN YOU TELL?
i.y X. j. and \. W. BOOMER
No. What Is the Most Resiiul
Color

1t has long been accepted as a. fact
that the color green the most rest
ful to the eye. RooV in homes and
elsewhere were often decorated in
green, in order to produce the most
restful effect. Eut although green is
restful 10 the eye. it is not the most
restful color.
1t has been determined by scien-
lists that gray is the most restful.
We can look at this color with less IA
tisue To The eyes than any other.
The probabilities are we decided
upon green as the most restful because
we had become used 10 the green grass
and trees about Us that our eyes
had become accustomed TO it, Tor the
eye will make an effort To adjust
itself to any color that comes within
its vision. And yet Nature her.
self. long before our scientists strug-
gled with the problem Of color values,
worked out what is the best color
for our surroundings, and while she
knew the restful effect of gray, as
evidenced by the fact that the sky
is gTayish blue Il great deal of the
time. she probably made vegetation
green instead of gray, because green
has the quality of helpin other col.
ors. Green. if looked upon continually,
might also become monotonous, and
is itself helped by other colors, as
for instance, red.
You may have a favorite color and
may also attribute it to temperament
though it does not harmonic with
your personal color aura. If however,
you could think back far enough 10
remember when you began to like
that particular color. you would prob
ably discover that your preference
began with the association of your
now favorite color with some excep-
tionally pleasing oircumstances-the
color, for instance Of your necktie
when calling upon u young lady,
whom YOU had learned to love. and
selection. Or if you We're a girl, per
haps it was the color OF the dress YOU
who complimented you on your color
wore which he said he liked.

ILLINOIS SCANDAL
GOES To GRAND JURY

SPRINGFIELD. Ill. July 12.-Illi-
nois' $10,000,000 graft scandal was
placed before the Sangamon county
grand jury today.
In the grand jury room of the
old courthouse, where Abraham Lin
coin practiced law, evidence intended
to show manipulation of huge sums
Of state funds for private gain was
unfolded under the direction Of
States Attorney Fred Mortimer.
The investigation, resulting from
q bitter politicaI,'.ss,d between Gov
ernor Len Small and ArrUFaey GEN
eral Edward Brundage, was designed
to strike at some of the highest Of
ficials in the state government.
Employees of the state treasurer's
office were busy early in the day
carrying huge bundles Of records and
books showing the use of state funds
over the last six years, to the grand
jury room.
Their chief Edward Miller, state
treasurer, was the first witness call
ed to testify before the grand jury.
Although Miller was nominated
and elected while running on the
same political factions ticket as Gov
ernor Small, the disclosures of the
treasurer are said to have brought
about the investigation. Small was
treasurer for two terms.
A safety deposit box. which has
been guarded night and day at a
local bank, was taken to the grand
Jury room: Best information. was
that the box contained evidence
showing Chicago packers were loan
ed $40, 1000. 900 by the state. Only 2
per cent interest was said to have
been obtained on the loan.
In this connection, prominent
bankers of Kankakee. the home town
Of Governor Small, have been sum
moned to tell what they know OF
the transaction. These banks were
diaries in obtaining the loans.
The bankers will be asked what
interest their institutions received
for acting as intermediates In the
packers loan.
