Join to Urge Bill to
Exempt Income Up to

To help the work of financing the

operative savings associations in urg-
ing upon the Legislature the passage
of Senator Lowman's bill granting an
exemption from the state income tax
of not over $500 of income in one year
derived. by a member of the savings

than once to any taxpayer.
Explaining the bill, Charles O'Connor
Hennessy, president of the Franklin
Society, has written to Senator Low
man as follows:

practical measures yet proposed to help

worthy home seekers.
"A similar proposal is being pushed

exemption from the Federal income tax

That house to be individual aand
up to date must have cheese-box col
umns and a cornice four feet wide
over every horizontal opportunity is
here disapproved.
This house is q model of restraint.
And, by the way, restraint doesn't mean
absence Of ideas but rather the Sc
lective use of copious ideas. Hence
the home shown this week gets its
force by using ornament only where
ornament will tell.
The entrance has a hood supported
on refined brackets and shelterirg a
bench with prim knob a stick trees
in tubs each side. The wing at the
front has flowers for ornament, for it
is obviously the sun room. Aside from
a leader head the rest of the effect
is due to masses and we'll proportional
intervals. The spacing, shape and size
of every window are studied, and the
house bears evidence from as far away
as it can be seen of close, intelligent
application. No one but arr architect
would have dared use so small cor
the whole composition would be COM
monplace and cheap. Note the cornce

The "sun room" is another name in

A small reception hall, entered from

what many very much approve Of.

interior, where it holds no color value
as do tinted paints, and is much harder
on the eyes because of its high re-
flecting power. Excessive illumina
ton in this way may result in the con-
traction of the pupil of the eye, cutting
down the amount of light that reaches
the retina and rendering the eye less
able to appreciate the colors of lower
luminosity used in the general scheme
of the room. In order to offer sur
face that will be good light reflector,
yet will not cause the eye undue ad-
justment, it would be we'll to use
tinted flat paint rather than a gloss
of enamel for the reason that with
fiat paint there is greater diffusion of
light with less contrast of light and
shade, which is desirable from the H.

The first thought in decorating a
room should be given to those things
which are absolutely necessary in
order that the room may fulfill to best
advantage the use for which it is in
tended. The more pleasing the design
OF these objects and the more agree
able their arrangement, the more sat
isfactory the result will be, so long as
their arrangement and design detract
IN no way from their primary function
The room and objects contained in the
room exist first of all for use, and in
order, that they may be pleasing to the
eye we turn to color for their decora-
ton and in the colors selected, which
are se!f-expressive, are revealed cult
walton and taste or, on the contrary, a
lack of judgment.
When considering the decoration of
an interior one finds certain fixed or
permanent features that 60 to make up
the room, which are in the majority of
cases the ceiling, walls, woodwork and
floor, and our purpose is to try with
color to unite these features into
harmonious scheme which will help to
secure a durable, sanitary and decora-
tive result.
Upon entering a house one is often
impressed with the fact that there has
no. been enough thought given to the
selection of suitable treatment for
the side walls or backgrounds of the
different rooms. AS the walls furnish
h1 Io4t so1
ether decorations are based and as they
offer the largest surfaces of light and
ST ade, the dominating color influence
OF the room should be found in them.
II is customary when selecting a wall
covering to not only consider it's deco
r&tive qualities, but also it's durability,
cleanliness and Illuminating value.
Since our background or wall is fiat,
every decoration applied to it should
also appear fiat, with no attempt to in
dictate modelling such as we find in work
where realism has been attempted. BY
realism is meant an attempt to re-
produce with color, perspective, high
lights and shadows, natural objects in
such way as to make them appear
transplanted or fixed to the fiat wall
surface. Any attempt at realism in the
decoration of the wall should be avoid
ed, as it only tends to destroy its fiat
appearance and SO weaken its primary
use as structural support or division
How Not to Hang Pictures
The structural aspect is overlooked
time and again in regard to picture
hanging. When single hook is used
the wires form diagonal or arbitrary
lines that have tendency to carry
the eye away from the picture, to the
hook or point Of the triangle where
the wires meet. BY using two hooks
so that the wires fall vertically in
