"Josh NhitcOmb'' t0 Visit Bristol To- Bight-additiOns to Christmas seal Sales staH-New Building Code Not Discussed by City Fathers.

Removal Of the Terryville trolley line terminal from the Main street bridge to the point on North Main street. opposite the City hall, where the Plain"ille cars stop, was decided upon at the council meeting last night to relieve the dangerous con- dition existing on Main street. when the Terriyle care are in. The North Main street stopping place was used for several years for the end Of the Terryville division but to make a faster service. the Main street bridge was designated as the terminal. With the greater amount of traffic now going over the thoroughfare to the boulevard, the loading and un- loading of passengers causes incon- venience to vehicles and several narrow escapes have taken place when passengers have rushed from the sidewalk to the cars, without looking, The dangerous situation was noted by Chief Of Police Ernest T. Belden. who to the council short time ago Of the bad conditions there. 4 conference with Manager George Bookings Of the Bristol & Plainvile Electric company resulted in the de- cision to make the change to North Main street for the present at least until better terminal location may be found.

that pertained to our comfort or well being. perhaps they would be re- ceived differently" ventured Mrs. Jarr loftily.
 But l know that lots of people dc use the roof as cooling off places in the evening"" remarked MT. Jarr.
 If you went up on thIs roof" said Mrs. Jarr. the janitor would be up to order you eff, because he'd say walking over the tin would make 1t leak, and then, too, a tin roof makes terrible noise when you walk over 1t, and people on the top floors would shout impudently up the air shaft"
 "Oh. very we'll" groaned Mir. Jarr. I'm sorry I snoke. but if the roof Is as you say it is, why. of course, l don't expect you to go up there"

BLUFF IN BUSINESS

"I really don't know much about the work he expects me to do. but suppose I can bluff it along until learn it." declared a young woman recently. I overheard this remark in the street car. and I am wondering if she is holding the job or if her em- ployer called her bluff"
 In any event, her remark brings up an interesting subject, because l be- lieve there are a great many young men and women today who think they can bluff their way in business and succeed. They soon find, how ever, that an employer is usually keen enough to detect the difference between a worker who really knows his job and one who is trying to make others think he does.
 I know a young statistician who got job bigger than he could hold by bluffing. He showed his prospec- tive employer some booklets which he claimed to have written, but in which most of the work was done by someone else. He got the position because the employer was impressed with the booklets. but when he was asked to do similar work he failed. Soon his firm recognized that he had really secured the position on a bluff which he could not possibly make good. After two months he was in formed that his services would no longer be required.
 It does not pay to get a job on bluff. girls, because someone is sure to recognize 1t, sooner or later. Please understand, however, just what we mean by bluff in business as against self-confidence. If you are asked to do piece of work which you do not know how to do, or of which you are not sure, don't just for the sake of conveying a good impression-say: "Oh, certainly, know how to do it." It is far better to say: T think I can do it; I'll trv my best" Then no employer will ex- pect too much of you. and if by any chance you should not do the work right, you are not embarrassed.
 Of course, l believe in self-confi- dence in business. None of us wants to underestimate our ability. If VOL know how to do job, say so frank iy. If you are not sure, say so. Then you have loophole for mistakes and questions. whereas if you bluff your way, you are obligated to do the job well.
 When you swagger and bluff in business an employer naturally ex- poets more from you than you are prepared to give. and if you fall down on the job your ability is dis counted just so much in his eyes. If you answer that you'll try your best and confess frankly that you are not sure, there is no come back" and you have the confident knowl- edge that you are doing your best without misrepresenting yourself.
 Confidence in yourself, certainly, but also honestly without bluff. Don. just for the sake of more money or better position-undertake a job which you cannot handle. You will hurt your own reputation and lose 1T. self-respect if you fail. Better to be sure of what you are doing than to make a mistake.

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
TO ACQUIRE A FINE COMPLEXION

TO ACQUIRE A FINE COMPLEXION
 The intimate relation existing be- tween the stomach and the complex digestion is more feeble in summer because of the depressing effect of the heat. Therefore, indigestion, with its accompanying unsightly effect upon the skin of the face, is the rule rather than the exception during the warm weather. No amount of local treatment will benefit a poor com plexion if your diet Is wrong.
 The stomach and liver arc long suffering organs. but they rebel at length In the form of sallowness, pimples and blackheads.
 Nature has provided us with foods suitable for every season, and those for warm weather are cooling and contain tonic properties as well, since we are constantly more or less relaxed from the heat and require tcning up with proper food.
 The articles of diet that have a particularly bad influence upon the complexion in summer are first and foremost, pork and veal, but espec- ially pork in any form. The unclean properties of this meat were fully understood by the old prophets in past ages, and it's reputation has not improved with time. I do not advo- cate a vegetarian diet, but meat is very heating, and it's use should be confined to young and tender fowl and absolutely fresh fish imme diately prepared. Sweets and pastries, all fried foods and hot breads are in- cluded in the list to be avoided if a gcod complexion is being cultivated.
 On the other hand, nature is lavish during warm weather In providing
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-01

not only suitable food in great abun- dance, but food that cleanses out the system. purifies the blood and makes the complexion bloom like a rose.
 Among the vegetables the humble carrot fig especially valuable. Spin ach is most wholesome; it is said to act as a broom upon the digestive tract; 1t contains a lot of iron and Is a good tonic.
 Tomatoes have q wonderfully reg ulatins effect upon the liver. and all fresh vegetables that do not come under tho other classes. such as pota- toes and the like, possess some valu- able property. All greens come in this class. We know what value as- paragus possesses; we know that the celery, chicory, onions, leek and a host of similar things contain medi- cinal properties; we know that the stalks of rhubarb, as well as the leaves, are used in medicine, and our imagination, If not our knowledge, lCllSA us lldl dil tACSC lIlISo dSCu III their fresh, tender. early stages are a thousandfold more powerful in pro- noting health and refining the com plexion than any omount of pills and powders or cosmetics.
 Fruits, aside from their laxative value, are cleansing to the blood and some have a specific action upon the complexion. It Is said that pineapple is among these. that one quickly notes its influence upon the skin when eaten freely. Another fruit of remarkable value because of a bitter principle 1t contains that acts espe- cially upon the liver Is grapefruit. There are those who declare that since eating 1t for breakfast daily they are no longer put to necessity of giving the liver a weekly dose of calomel. .-..

A varied assortment of clothes will be needed for your summer vacation. and it will add to their ap- if you make your selections now, at the beginning of the month. No mat ter where you plan to spend those precious days away from the home or office. you will require at least three different kinds of attire.
 Something for morning wear: a frock or two. appropriate for after noon functions. and an evening gown (plus travelling wrap)-these should go into tho trunk of every woman who is planning to leave the city for recreation. If you want to economize on wardrobe space. you can use your morning wrap for ten- his or golf.
 The largest illustration on this page shows charming afternoon frock of soft silk crepe. It has the new silhouette of the snug bodice. line. where the draped skirt meets it. Both bodice and skirt have 8 side opening. concealed by the drapery which 6 band of dyed lace outlines. Lace is used effectively at the sleeve ends. and on the filmy hat. from which a streamer floats at one side.
 With this afternoon frock. you may display the more severe chapeau of satin and lace. Its wide brim Is composed of q series of lace and ribbon bands. A discreet fluting outlines the edge. and repeats the lace pattern on the crown.
 The street wrap. pictured herewith, is reversible. It can easily be con- verted for more formal wear in the evening. It is of fine twill and lined throughout with 8 soft. colorful satin. the seams of which are dis guised with gold braid. Knitted bands of silk trim the wrap in it's daytime guise. with interesting lines at the cuffs. collar and lower ex- tremity.
 You could choose no more appro- priate hat for travel than the snug straw with & pleated georgette trim ming at the front. A brilliant one of the latest Parisian novelties, is pinned through the somber material to add emphasis to it's softness.

duced in small touches.
 It Is the aspect of the room that must always determine its color scheme. I told you previously that the north room, looking south should be cool looking. and you must choose curtains. etc, of a material that does not easily fade. A pale shade of blue or greenish blue. Is good for the walls and combined with amber colored curtains will make a good harm onious effect.
 These are just a few suggestions. There are so many others all beau tiful, and naturally you will like best the colors that reflect your own personality.
 Deep rose color Is the setting for vivacious blonde, and silver haired lady looks very beautiful in lavender colored room. Yellow and apricot tint will flatter you if you wll be more suitable If you are of the quiet, retiring type and of course for the children pink and white, or blue and white for the bedrooms. and bright colors in the nurseries for the children all love bright, vivid colors.
 -ss--
 If you must keep your winter clothes in the trunk or In the draw CTS during the summer, put a two ounce bottle filled with chloroform In with them. Stand bottle in one corner, have cork tight, but have two or three punctures in it to all low the fumes to escape. This is one of the best protectives against moths. and 1t also destroys the eggs.
 In case the furniture polish has run out just boil up a little olive oil and add a few drops of vinegar. Ap- ply in moderate quantities and rub with a soft wooden cloth. This is excellent for highly polished surfaces.

cretonne with the pattern of an even mixture of rose and green on a cream ground. Rose colored reading lamp and green cushions of the same soft shade as the carpet. Any young girl would love 1t. for pink is vivaci- GUS and warm, while green is rest full and the whole effect of the room would be dainty, fresh and youth ful. An excellent color scheme for a breakfast room could be attained with a mixture of violet and green very light gray walls. green wicker furniture. chintz hanging patterned in an exen mixture of parma violets and green leaves, and purple cush- Ions.
 Another way to create color har- mony Is to take three colors and use them together. That Is more diff cult because here the colors are not divided equally; most importance is given to one color, not very much to the second and very little to the third. A large sized bedroom would look very we'll with combination of maize. gray and blue. Gray carpet and curtains. a maize colored wall paper with a gray dadC, and the third color, blue, Is introduced into the rug and ornaments to give bright ness, and this particular setting, as well as being restful and cheerful, is suitable for any type of furniture.
 A boudoir in three colors that is feminine and dainty Is obtained with a cream wallpaper with narrow stripe of pink rosebuds. blue painted furniture with garlands of pink roses buds again introduced, blue carpet, rose colored reading lamp and pink flowers or vase.

COLOR HARMONY

Do you know how to create color harmony in a room? Color creates atmosphere, denotes character and has great power over our emotions.
 will outline three different ways of creating color harmony and all will give excellent results.
 The first Is the most simple-for instance. you take one color, say yellow, in pale tones down to cream and also the deeper tones down to orange.
 Now let us apply this color scheme to bedroom. The wallpaper would be pale yellow; the ceiling would be cream, the furniture of & pale ivory tint, and the hangings, drapes, cush- ions and etc, carried out in deep, dull orange silk. and you can see at once that the result would be both artistic and restful
 Another thing, this color scheme Is ideal for the north room which does not get much sun, for 1t creates an atmosphere of brightness and cheer fulness Just by the colors chosen. It Is also good for a small room as white or light paper and furniture make the room look larger, alsC when a color scheme is chosen of colors very close together. such as this one, ranging from cream to orange, or still further, If you wish, Into brown; 1t always makes for restfulness, which is something we must always strive for In bed room.
 Another effective color harmony is obtained by combining two contrast ing colors. Every color, as you know. has its complimentary color, the col or that, as we say, goes with 1t, that belongs to it; for Instance, the com plementary color of red Is green, for the reason that there is the greatest possible contrast between these two colors; the contrasting color of blue Is orange, and that of red-violet is yellow green and so on. But these pure colors cannot be used together In their full strength, therefore they have to be toned down to shades and tints in order that we can live with them peacefully.
 Sc let us take red and green and pale them down to pink and lighter green which will make an adorable combination for q bedroom color scheme for a young girl.
 The walls would be of palest pink. soft light green carpet (carpet in my opinion is always more preferable than rugs for 1t pulls all the room together, and if the room should be small 1t will tend to make 1t look larger; rugs, on the other hand, break up the appearance of a room and are only suitable when there is a great amount of space). The furni- ture, dressing table and etc, of this room would be covered with a dainty
