Saved by Roosevelt's Idea Of Square
Deal

When Roosevelt was getting READY
for his African trip various sports
men friends, as a matter OF course,
volunteered suggestions. -.
when you get to Nairobi," said
one-a Mr.. Blank. a happy-go-lu LUCKY,
careless, prosperous chap. who hao
dived into the jungle and out again
two years before-"whatever you do.
don't hire guide by the name or
W. He is capable enough, but
not trustworthy"
The day Roosevelt reached Nairobi
he inquired about this particular
guide, He sent for the repudiated
guide and got his side Of the story,
says the Milwaukee journal.
Just as Roosevelt had OWNED, 1t
was a mountain made out Of q mole
hill. The damning word dropped by
Mr.. Blank without warrant had left
stark misery in Its wake for the
guide. After that he could get no
employment from any hunter who
came to Nairobi.
Roosevelt heard all this. BY way
Of rejoinder he smashed his itinerary.
He rearranged 1t over night to in
clude a ten days expedition never
the country. He hired the Nairobi
guide to take entire charge Of the
trip.
When the expedition got back In
scheduled time Nairobis housetops
heard from Roosevelt. He said:
That guide is the most intelligent,
the most Industrious, the most relia-
BILE and the most satisfactory guide
l have ever had"
The rehabilitation Of the wounded
guide dated from this utterance and
this act of Roosevelt's. Again the
man began to be sought after by
hunters

Art in Interior and Exterior
Decorating

Ctilitarianism should be combined
with art in interior and exterior
house decorating. Too often atten-
ton is devoted almost exclusively to
the color effect, without consideration
of the practical angle.
Red Is a color of mental intensity
and excitement. while blue is cool and
soothing. Yellow has the warmth of
sunlight, with none OF the exciting
elements of red. Greens and reds
have tendency to absorb artificial
light and do not light up we'll. Grays,
browns. and blues change very little
under artificial light, with the excep-
ton of some blues which become a
trifle darker. Mulberry shades lose
little OF their strength but retain their
tone under ordinary artificial light.
Large rooms need both color and
pattern to balance the general pro-
portions. Dark colors bring walls
closer to you; warm grays draw them
away. Rooms well filled with fur
niture require less color than rooms
with few pieces. Stripe designs in
wall paper heighten the appearance
of low ceilings; wide-spreading de-
signs lower the appearance of high
ceilings. South rooms need cool
colors, north exposures warm tones.
Bedrooms shuld have light, airy pa
pers with harmony Of color and de-
sign.
