RAISING questions. First among these
is going to be the question as to how
far the particular plant has got its
production costs down to a perma-
nent level These questions are GO
ing to be asked strictly from the
dividend paying basis. On all sides
the profit making possibilities of
productive enterprises are going to

than II has been for the last five

tends to Increase production costs is
going to add 10 the embarrassment
Of your company. For this reason
Investors are going to look beyond
the advertisements as to the assets
and income and things of like kind.
They are going TO ask TO see your
wage sheets, and to demand infor-
nation Az 10 how the wage levels
under which you are operating cor
respond with thnEe of six months

Wall Colors Big
Factor in Making
Room Look Large

Few people know the part
played by wall colors in illumi-
nation. 1t is most important to
bear in mind their effects in plan
ming the most efficient lighting
for the home. Dark walls absorb
light and at the same time make
rooms appear smaller. Light walls
reflect light and increase the ap-
parent size of rooms.
Scientific experiments made by
paint manufacturers have proved
that the various shades and tones
of color are important factors in
rejecting light from the walls
and thereby increasing illumination.
It is surprising to investigate
one of the color charts supplied
by manufacturers and to note the
difference in the reflective value
of paints.
For instanc a we'll painted pure
white in fiat tone gives 20 per
cent reflection, whereas the same
wall painted in a bright sage
gives 43 per cent reflection.
Suppose for instance, in the
parting Of the kitchen there is
selected a color known as forest
green. The reflective value would
only be 81 per cent. whereas if the
kitchen were painted in ivory, the
per cent of reflection would be 72.
The difference between these
two paints and ttheir light reflec-
tion possibilities would not only
have a tendency to decrease the
apparent size Of the rooms. but it
might make all the difference in
the world in the CHEEKY bright
appearance so desirable in kit
chens. Whereas by the use of
dark color there is possibility
that the kitchen work would be
done with less speed and more
fatigue. -.
= It is well to remember that
color Is a very important factor
both from a health and happi-
ness point Of view. Investigate
and study carefully not only the
lighting fixtures for the home but
the various kinds of colors for
the walls and their reflective per-
centages.

Wilson Syndicate Well
Looks Blazer Than EUer

Although the Texas company COM
pleted its lire to the Hiram {. VIII
son syndicate woll in the southeast
corner OF the northeast OF the north
east OF S-l5-S late Wednesday after
noon, the well still cannot be opened
fully until tho Empire has con
nected with the well. The Empire
line was expected to be completed
last night.
The wen touched the sand late
Tuesday afternoon and when the
Texas company connection was made
M 4 O'clock "Wednesday afternoon,
the well. with tho valve about one
third open, according 20 the owners,
had filled Is 25O-barrel tanks ana
had put about 225 barrels additional
into Impoverished storage. THIS
means that, with the well PARTLY
pinched in, It produced somethins
like four thousand barrels In
period estimated by It's owners as
approximately 16 hours.
The big producer Is the NO. on
the Amos Robertson farm. The
butcher sand was topped at 3,23A
feet and II has been drilled In only
10 TO Is inches. The oil, according
10 an official Of the syndicate, tests
423 gravity, which would make "
probably the highest gravity butcher
oil yet discovered. The oil com
mands a premium over the posted
price.
Among the eastern investors IN
the Wilson syndicate who were on
hand to see the well drilled IN were
II, A. McCardell ana j. " Ca,her-
wood OF Oscoola Mills Pa, and w.
A Gould. coal operator and banker
Of Brisben, Pa. Gould requested that
he he permitted 10 fire the boiler
that supplied steam for the pumps
that started puehing the oil into the
Texas companys line. This he ac-
complished by every warily, and
from n safe angle, slipping lighted
cornstalk into the fire box.
