PEOPLE OF NEAR EAST
FLEE TO OTHER LANDS
Appalling Situation Depicted in
Connection With Plea for
Red Cross Funds.

"An appalling situation of suffer-
ing, involving hundreds Of thousands
Of peope who have been forced to
flee from their homes in the near east
and to seek refuge in lands already
burdened with care, has emphasized
the American Red Cross is our ma
tional emergency fund with which to
meet great crises in disaster" Secre-
tary Hoover said yesterday, in plea
for the roll call. THE accentuation
of the fact is the greater in that the
to humanity has fallen just in ad-
vance Of the American Red Cross an
nual roll call.
THE resources Of the American
Red Cross must be annually replen-
ished through the roll call. This year
the summons is seconded by con-
crete emergency of the kind that Is
ever liable to be precipitated upon
the world. 1t is impossible for the
Red Cross to|be dependent on pub
lie appeal for specific objects, because
when emergency and disaster face us
we have no time to wait until funds
can be raised. The Red Cross is our
ever-ready agency for responding to
the call Of calamity the moment the
alarm is sounded.
'aThe American Red Cross should
have a minimum membership of ten
million in order that It's reserves may
be equal to our domestic and our
foreign emergencies in humane pur-
poses. In the light of my experience
in relief work throughout the world
l feel it duty to express my per-
sonal hope that the people of America
will show their confidence in their
Red Cross in this roll call in unmis.
taxable terms. Let's all get behind
the Red Cross and give it ten million
members for its gerat work."

NEAR EAST RELIEF WORK
REPORTS SET AT REST

The local Near East Relief mana
gers have received letter from
Charles v. Vickrey. general secre-
tary, in New York. stating that some
Of our state directors have been dis
turbed by the Associated Press dis
patch with reference to excessive
customs charges in Constantinople
that threaten the continuance of
relief work at that port"
Answering any such Objections"
Mr.. Vickrey stated that direct cable
from Constantinople assured him
that customs difficulties are tempo
rary and such as are naturally Incl
dent to new regulations of q new
government similar rulings" he
continues, have frequently been made
in Constantinople in the past, de-
signed to cover commercial transac-
tions, but exemption has always been
secured and our administrative COM
mittee in Constantinople 10 confident
will on this occasion be secured for
relief supplies.
.'It is vitality important, however,
to remember that only q small frac-
ttion Of Near East Relief work is In
Constantinople. The great majority
Of the orphans. hospitals and general
relief are In Transcaucasia, Syria,
Palestine and now centering more
largely in Greece s ~

In these days Of more compact
living, of economy of time, space
and energy, the old-fashioned
parlor that was only opened for
the honored guest has almost COM
pletely disappeared, and in it's place
has come the modern living room,
usually the most generously propor-
toned. the brightest, most cheerful
and comfortable room in the house;
especially in the newer houses. where
there is nearly always a big open
fireplace. more than likely a sun
porch, at one end, or terrace lead
ing out into a garden.
OF all the big. fine developments in
house planning and building, it seems
to me one Of the best and most po-
tential is the growth of the living
room. as we know 1t today. Never
before was there such a need for the
quiet sad comfort. the space and
harmony of a we'll planned, well fur
nished room. where the whole fam
lily may gather in the evening for
relaxation. for study. for music. for
work or play.
The outside distractions are so
many and SO varied. especially for
the young people, and the wear and
tear on the nerves Of the older ones
is so great at times that they all
need haven to which they may turn
after the stress of the day is over,
and too much importance cannot be
placed or too much time and thought
and money be spent on making this
family room the most comfortable,
the most attractive and cheerful one
in the house. Primarily, it must have
a comfort. u
should be of generous size. especially
when the family is large: in other
words. 1t must meet the needs OF
each individual in the family and yet
pursuits and requirements of all.
This may sound difficult, but it really
is not so much matter Of the proper
combination Of the physical elements
as it Is one of spirit. Where love
and thoughtfulness reign a family
no matter how homely its furnish
ings, and not all the wealth in the
world can inject peace into room
where it is lacking among the men,
bers Of family: There is certainly
something very intimate and appeal
ing about favorite chairs and old
sofas and shaded lamps These are
things that give room its indi-
viduality and charm. Therefore, when
you find you cannot afford the new
overstuffed suite covered with null
berry mohair don't bemoan the fact,
but keep your old things scrupulously
clean and use to their fullest advan-
tage their softly faded colors and
their air OF timeworn but true
friendliness. and perhaps by next year
you will have outgrown your desire
for the mulberry suite.
Aside from the spirit expressed IN
your living room, its big underlying
ideal, there are, of course, certain
fundamental principles which aid us
Evening star., 1922-11-12

10 obtaining the ideal we wish to ex
press. First of all, consider your
background. Keep the walls light
and warm. especially in a small room.
ing them too light, for then they
have an unpleasant staring appear
ance. For the average living room
the rug or floor covering is better
kept as part of the background.
whether 1t be a plain carpet or a
softly colored figured rug. With
good background as foundation the
planning of the room Is very much
simplified. The lighting In the living
room is very important. 1t should be
bright enough for reading and yet
soft enough to avoid the possibility
of having any glare. Lamps with
silk or parchment shades and wall
brackets give sufficient light and yet
keep it colorful and soft. For read
ing. the gold. tan or sand-colored
shades are best.
Arrange the furniture for conven-
ience and conifort--a desk and chair
near a window. davenport or stool
, or easy chairs near the fireplace.
chairs near the. large. library table. a
lamp and stool convenient to the
davenport; but avoid the mistake of
having the room oyercrowded.
The draperies can give just the
needed touch of color or light or
warmth if carefully chosen. or may
spoil an otherwise very attractive
room if a mistake is made in their
choice.
In each decision you make regard
ing your living room use deal of
common sense mixed with a geper-
Gus supply of thoughtfulness and
your room is sure to have its own
personality and II.
Questions Answers.
What color rug would look best in
a rather dark dining room that does
not have very much sun and the walls
of which are tan?-N. r. F.
In a dining room a figured rug is
nearly always more practical. One
with a warm tan background and soft
tones of blue, rose, gold and brown
will give your room color and warmth
and the effect of light. The Wiltons
are the best rugs OF this type.

sleeping room in a small apartment.
The wallpaper Is wood-brown. the
furniture mahogany. There is an at
dark garnet-red cover. The figured
rug has this same color predominant
ing There are two fireside chairs
with tapestry seats. The cover on
with the other things. Would like
to recover the chairs and bed with
blue and gold: What would you sug-
gest?-M. S. S.
If the tapestry on the chairs is
good and does not clash with the
rug. ] would not change it. 1t prob
ably has little blue in it and you
could cover your day bed with dark
deep blue linen velour. Then you
might have two or three cushions of
the linen velour and one Of a deep
rich red to- harmonize with the rug.
There could also be one cushion of
blue and gold.

GRABS CHANGE AND RUNS.
Police Seek New Thief. Who Got
SIS for $2.

Police are looking for a new kind Of
thief. one who asks stofekeepers for
change for bill of large denomina-
ton, thrusts a dollar in their hands
and runs before the astonished victim
knows what has happened.
This trick was worked on Louis
Browdy, who runs a cigar store at
1404 G street northwest, and upon
Oscar Nelson, manager Of Huyler's
store at 617 18th street northwest. At
the former place the man, who Is de-
scribed as young and well dressed.
asked for change for SO. received it
and gave the store keeper a dollar in
return, running down the street be-
fore he could be stopped. At Huy1er's
he got away with only 81, giving the
dollar in place of a IS bill.
