NEW AND COLORFUL DESKS

The Renaissance of the desk is
one of the notable features in the
renewed attention being given now
adays to fine furniture. Desks are of
such general utility that home can
not be without one or more types.
Perhaps you may have a lovely
Sheraton desk with its fine lines
and beautiful turnings or, perhaps,
you may have a spinet desk, which
is one of the most popular types. If
not one of these, perhaps you have
a plain desk with drawers, which
may be done in bright colors for an
intimate corner of the living room.
If these desks need doing up, you
can find the greatest number of
color schemes in a Duco finish. One
of the leaders in interior decoration
has recently given two color
schemes for the Sheraton type of
desk. The first is done in tones of
blue and gray, which serve to en-
phasize the agreeable lines of this
style. The second is a color scheme
in Talina brown, picked out with
green stripping. Both are decorated
with a floral design. ~
The usual desk can be done in
bright colors in a design in rich
tones of Chinese vermilion and yell
low, trimmed with black and gold,
with decorations showing oriental
motifs on several panels. This fol-
lows the line of the vogue for Chi
nese designs which is so notable
nowadays. 1t will also serve the pur-
pose, with its vivid colors, of light
ing up an otherwise dull corner
which may need just such brilliant
hue.
The spinet desk is presented in
two cOlOrs: One of these has the
body finished in rich tones of old
wine, decorated in black, with hints
of gold as an establishment. The
second color scheme on this piece
shows the body in green, decorated
in black and gold. Handpainted Chi
nese decorations appear on the small
front panels Of both ends of the
desk, no matter in which color it is
finished, thus adding a quaint and
attractive note to the ensemble.

MUCH DANCING IN @ADAM AND

Twelve Days of 1t We're Required
for Scenes of This Picture.

Two hundred pairs of dancing
slippers were worn out during the
filming of one of the recent cabaret
sets at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
studio.
Twelve days of dancing-eight
hours daily-in the filming of the
lavish purple grotto dancing Sc
quence of adam and Evil" coming
to the Plaza Theatre, cost practi-
cally every one of the dancers
pair of shoes.
The average girl, who wears three
or four pairs of shoes annually, will
be surprised to know that even the
girls who appear in film "atmos-
phere" require approximately min
imum of a dozen pairs annually.
But where the shop or office girl
makes only enough money to buy
three or four pairs yearly, the tlm
girl. if she works steadily on dane
ing sets can afford a new pair at the
end of each setting.

TO SHOW SIGNAL DEVICES
ATCENTENA AIRY EXHIBITION
First Signal Used In 1884 To Be
In The Display at Baltimore

A comprehensive display of rail-
way signaling devices since the first
signal of 1884 will be among the ex-
hibits in the Hall of Transportation at
the Fair of the Iron Horse, Centenary
Exhibition and Pageant of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad at Baltimore,
rom September "a to October 8.
] FThe Union Switch and Signal Com
pany and the General Railway Signal
Company are contributing this exhib-
it, the first exposition of the progress
made in the development of means for
safeguarding and expediting the
movements of trains by signals.
Occupying nearly 1000 square feet
of space in the Hall of Transportation
the signal display includes drawings
and photographs artistically colored,
illustrating in chronological order the
development of signaling from the
crude design of 1884 to the higher
perfected instruments of the present
day. These illustrations are mounted
on ninety large panels arranged in a
double row one hundred feet in length.
Full size signals are also shown in
operation representing the four types
of present-day devices-the semaphore
and the three daylight" light signals,
color light, the position light and the
color position light. In addition, full
size highway crossing signals, "the
life-savers Of the highways" will be
demonstrated by the flashing Light
and wig-wag types.
The set of illustrations, grouped un-
der thirteen divisions, will cover in
great detail the various methods used
in the controlling of trains by signals.
Among these will be a historical
sketch, in pictures, of signals of fixed
location indicating a condition affect
ing the movements of train. The
purpose of fixed signals is to convey
information to the engineman for the
government of his train, showing
when, where and how to go, and when
and where to stop.
Train dispatching or directing and
supervising the movements of trains
upon which transportation efficiency
so largely depends, will also be dem
onstrated by photographs.
Other panels will show the auto
matte block system, mechanical inter-
locking-an arrangement of switch
and signal appliances so inter-con-
nected that their movements must
succeed one another in order to pro-
vide safe path for the movement of
trains through switches, functions,
drawbridges, etc. Electro-pneumatic
interlocking will also be shown.

Car retarders, another type of the
safety device, will be exhibited in
pictures. These retarders are power
operated track brakes applied to the
tracks of freight classification yards
to control the speed of freight cars
entering these tracks by gravity. The
track brakes reduce the speed of the
cars so that they come to a stop with
out damage to the cars or to their con-
tents. By speeding up the work Of
classifying freight cars, the retard-
ers tend to eliminate delays, expedit-
ing freight traffic.
