French Force Surrender

FOFCe surrender
ATHENS, Sept. II (By The Asso-
ciated Press) s).-According to infor-
nation received in official circles
French naval units occupied Mu-
dania on the Sea of Marmora and
insisted upon the surrender of sew.
eral regiments of Greek Troops who
were trying to gain the sea for EN-.
barkation homeward after their de.
feat by the Turks.
The report has caused excitement
in Greek circles. Mudania is within
the Neutral zone of the Dardanelles
LONDON, Sept. 81 (By The AS
sociated Press)-While the allied
powers are feverishly endeavoring
10 arrange peace conference to
clean the slate between Turkey and
Greece and prevent more fighting In
the near east rumbles of impending
hostilities continue to come from
Constantinople and the Dardanelles
A relatively small force of Brit
ish troops is holding Chanak, the
chief position on the northern
shore of the straits. While the
Turkish nationalists eager for fur
ther conquests after their over
whelming defeat of the Greeks are
concentrated outside the neutral
zone at Ismae and Chanak impa-
tiently waiting the word from Mus
tapha Kemal Pasha to advance.
The Kemalist official French dis
patches say have available for use
in such a drive 1000 modern field
guns, 5000 machine guns and
enough amml milton for a two years
campaign which they captured from
the Greeks. If their spokesman in
Constantinople is to be believed. the
Turks are determined that the allies
shall not stand in the path of their
desire to reoccupy Thrace.
An Associated Press dispatch
quotes this spokesman, Thomas
Hamid Bey, TO the effect that the
Kemalist army will certainly declare
war on the British IL they attempt
to interfere with a movement across
the straits.
A ray of hope. however, is seen in
the conference at Smyrna between
Mustapha Kemal Pasha and General
Pelle. of the French high commits

nationalist foreign minister has been
anxiously summoned from Angora'

small British forces at Canack VIII

shal Foch is quoted as saying that
the position is absolutely untenat-
able except II held by very con-
siderable force while Field Marshai
Piumer, who has been inspecting the
British defenses is said 10 have sent
a message which Prime Minister
4 Iowa GaorQa communicated to the
cabinet yesterday 10 the effect hat
he has great confidence in the result
OF the collaboration between Briga-
dier General Harrington and Rear
Admiral Brock.
Opinion here for the moment Is
backing on the strength of the rit-
Ish naval force in the Dardanelies
which IS considered sufficient alone
TO hold any possible attack by the
Turks.

some colors are stimulants and some are
anodynes, and to proceed accordingly in mat
ters OF decoration and clothing. 1t is prob
ably well to follow nature, and to make
green and blue the only bright colors that
are used in large masses. All bluffs, grays,
and other neutral tones, are, of course. neu-
trail in effect. Blues and greens should be
the onl, bright colors allowed to appear in
large quantities. If rec is used it should be
merely touch here and there. Such a touch
of red is undoubtedly pleasing, and prob
ably healthful so long as it is not large
enou-h to force itself upon the eye Of course,
in dark room brighter colors may be used,
and red may be used in large quantities be-
cause it's value does not come out so strong
ly. Rooms which are flooded with sunlight
or brightly lit with electricity should be
decorated in soothing colors, only.
1t has also been often claimed that color
Is an index to personality, and that the man
or woman with strong affinity for red will
always show it by having bit of red in the
clothing or in the room, and that the over
stimulated temper which red produces will
always be found in such person. This sug-
gestion may not be wholly without value,
but like most other key to the mystery Of
human personality, it must be used with
care. It is probable that fashion and chance
govern the colors worn by most persons. and
also those found in their houses. Neverthe-
less strong preference for any one color
count in forming judgments Of persons.
Exciting Hair
Some perE ons, of course are endowed by
nature with strong primary colors. 1t is in
teresting to note in this connection that red
haired girls are additionally the most slim
ulating and exciting of all, their nearest
rivals being the bright yellow blondes, while
the girl with blue-black hair is the most
serene and unexcitins Of all. These facts
have usually been interpreted on basis of
race but race enters into the situation less
and less as hair color becomes more and
more beauty parlor product.
1t is not of record that titian-haired dam
sells produced by The henna process are less
exciting to flirt with than those endowed
with red hair by their creator, while per-
oxide blondes are certainly no less disturb
ers Of the peace than natural ones. 1t is
probable that a reasonably susceptible male
placed opposite beautiful red-haired girl
under bright light is an almost inevitable
victim of physiolo sical circumstances. After
a certain length of time his blood pressure
and temperature will rise, his nerves will
begin to Jingle, and he will be thrown into
condition in which he is more than likely
to do something rash.
The dark-haired girl must labor under
something of a handicap, but it is very
noticeable that she often seeks to overcome
it by the addition of a red rose or red
ribbon to her costume.
The speculative possibilities Of the sub
ject are almost ineXhaustible, but there is
not much about it which may be set down
as certain, beyond this: if your nerves are
on edge, as are those of most Americans,
avoid red and yellow and court green and
blue.

"TASH1NGTON, D. c., Dec. 31.-That
wv large percentage Of divorces is
due to too much red in the nuptial
nome, and that crime would decrease if the
streets were lighted with yellowish green
lights, is the claim Of the most recent pro-
lessor to come forward with a new set of
theories about color and the effects it has
upon our lives.
Conservatives will doubtless say that the
professor claims too much, and perhaps he
does, but the part which color plays in the
daily life Of everyone has never been prop
erly understood by most persons In fact
most men pay no conscious attention to COL
or at all, while most women are concerned
solely In choosing those colors which har-
monte with their hair and eyes.
Tell the average man that the red cover
on his library table is injuring his nerves
and he will laugh at you. Yet it is possible
to give him scientific proof of the fact. Red
has been shown by many experiments to
stimulate the heart action just as surely as
a drug, and to be powerful nerve stimu-
liant as well. Orange, yellow, violet and pur-
pie are also stimulating colors. Blue is a
soothing color and in large quantities even
depressing one. Green is perhaps the most
wholesome of all colors.
This seems to be about all that is con-
clusively known about the physiological eff
fects of colors. Besides this, you may read
great deal of theoretical stuff about the
lations between color and sound, and other
speculations of like nature. But of this
much you may be sure: the colors that sur
round you have an effect upon you, and by
regulating them properly you may to some
extent promote your health and comfort.
Natures Use of Color
1t is interesting to note that the only col
ors which are in nature used in large masses
are green and blue. If the sky were to turn
bright red and the leaves and the grass
bright yellow, it is probable that we would
all go crazy. Many interesting reflections
are suggested by the u.s. of color in nature.
It is strikingly noticeable that in brightly
sunlit countries, like our own southwest,
where all colors are more brilliant, where
the sunsets are intensely colorful and where
sunlight and distance work queer color eff
fects, nearly everyone feels an acute nervous
stimulus, amounting in some cases to a
sense Of exa1tation. On the other hand, cloudy
rainy countries where all colors sub
dued, where a shrouded green mixed with
gray predominates, like the British Isles,
for instance are noted for the production
Of healthy, somewhat stodgy, people. The
differences between persons of the same
blood and race living in Arizona and in
Scotland are very noticeable. Just how much
Of this difference is due to color it would
be hard to say, but it seems probable that
color accounts for part Of it.
It has long been a mysterious but we'll
known fact that all migrations and great
movements of people generally have been
westward. May not the flaring reds and yell
lows of the sunset sky in the west have
something to do with this?
Whatever such speculations may be worth,
it is worth anyone's while to know that

cd and dressed.
Discussing the development of the Lamo-
ma, the New York Herald says:
t'Mr. Lamon, who is vice president of the
Madison Square Garden Poultry show, began
his experiments with the new type in 1912
by mating the sill er gray Dork: 1g, which Is
a five-toed bird, with thu white Plymouth
Rock. The next year he mated the silver
gray Dorking with single comb white Leg
horns, the latter white lobed bird noted Tor
egg productivity but so light in body as to
possess little value for the table. The Off
spring of these matings were then blended.
The outcome was the Lamona, whose egg
laying qualities are accredited to the white
Leghorn while its plumpness is attributed to
the influence of the well-built silver gray
Dorking.''
That there is widespread preference for
white hen eggs Is a something that nobody
understands but there is a preference. Tint
ed eggs are not nearly so much in demand
as general proposition, although in Boston
the people prefer the brown eggs.
1t is stated that L. e. Byce, father of the
Petaluma poultry industry, Is chiefly re-
sponsible for the white egg preference. He
went from New England to California, and
eventually gained control of the egg pro-
ducing business of the West. He specialized
in white eggs, and created nationwide de-
mand for his product. He used only Leg
horns and Minorcas because they are prolific
layers.
