HOLLYWOOD. Calf, June %
The board OF directors of the Acad
envy OF Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences has adopted a resolution
recommending that the 10 per cent
salary cut ordered for the workers in
the motion picture industry be delayed
until August.
Sixteen producers who announced a
reduction of from 10 to % per cent
in the salaries of all employees, Mon.
day ordered the cut effective for non
contract players. None of the high
salaried stars or directors were no
tilted that a reduction had been or
dered in their pay.
The academy board recommended
an economy program tor the next two
months. They suggested an efficient
regime might save enough money to
make reduction in salaries unneces.
Sary.
While the recommendatio ton in no
way binds the producers to accept it
many Aim players believed it would be
followed The academy includes three
representatives from each of the five
branches of the industry.

A Restful Library.
By GENEyIEvE HENDRICKS.

In this day of radios and movies
too few of us take the time or make
the effort to read seriously and fire.
quently. And too many of us have
to read in rooms where we are dis
tracted by noise or by the equally
compelling disturbance of conflicting
colors and ugly lines in the furnish
ings.
One library in a lovely Georgia n
house lying in the outskirts of the
city comes to my mind as one OF
the few rooms where / would enjoy
nothing better than hours Of reading
There, | am sure. | would not find
cause to read and reread my book for
the gist of it. for in that little room
I would find what is most essentia.
for study, peace and quiet.
Aspect Is Peaceful.
The room is placed at the end of
a hall, from which it may be shut
off by its single door. Here it is
quiet. for the living rooms are some
distance away. The great triple bay
window, with paned glasses running
from window seat TO the cornice,
looks out upon an oid-time garden
with Gnarled fruit trees silhOuetted
against the Northern sky. A peace
Election.
Although the room faces north, the
owner dared to paint it's walls soft
green and it's woodwork a few shades
darker. For green is restful. and
it was rest that the owner most de-
sired to express in his own especial
room. Against this wall he has hung
etchings and fine old prints simply
framed in duh gold. Some very ex-
cellent hunting prints bespeak an in
terest of the owner that is again
suggested in the pattern of the soft
red glazed chintZ curtains that make
such lovely warmth and contrast at
the windows This design, one OF the
Oldest coming to us from England.
shows greyhounds playing in a most
idyllic landscape in the midst OF roses
and other flowers. 1t is an amusing
pattern as we'll as an artistic one.
Wall of Bookcases.
On the floor is a large. old hooked
rug, with crude designs of flowers and
leaves in reds and greens against
black ground. This serves to bring
together the colors of the room and
gives a perfect base.
One entire wall is covered with book

| cases that rise from the Dashboard
| to the cornice. At the bottom are
! high shelves to carry aliases and
| large books, while above are the small.
er shelves to hold the average sized
books. The shelves are covered by
doors with dull gilt criss-cross wiring.
which do not hide the rich colors of
the books behind them.
Nearby is a low. comfortable arm
chair of the type we speak of as
French provincial, inviting in its soft
green and orange covering, which is
so effective in the light of the lamp
that is close at hand. Here, with
fOotstool for our feet and small ia
BILE for our magazines, we could read
with comfort Or if we wish, why not
drop down on the soft settle against
an adjoining wall. where we can tuck
green and gold pillows behind our head
and revel in the glowing color of its
crimson chintZ covering. Here again
lamp is conveniently placed for read
ing and small tables are close at hand
for us to use if we will.
Surroundings Influence.
A tilt-top desk. generous in it's pro.
portions, with elbow space enough for
even the most ambitious. invites from
featured piece. Here is interest, in
deed, for above it on the wall are a
number of old letters, prints and other
relics, framed and hung so as to be
decorative as we'll as interesting. The
desk, like the other furniture, is old
maple. waXed to bring out its rich,
warm color. Against green old maple
is as lovely as it can be and here in
this room it is at it's best.
But / would choose my books from
the inviting shelves and take them to
the window seat, where ] could curl
up on it's soft-padded cushions and
steal a glance now and then out of
the windows into that old-fashioned
garden if the hour were daytime, or
where, if night prevailed, l could pull
the curtains together behind me and
look around this room SO quiet, yet so
rich in color and SO full of interesting
objects. For a book is best when it
can be left for a moment now and
then and have it's words mellowed in
the second thought of its reader, who
must perforce think more pleasantly
if her or his surroundings are as he
would have them, not calling for
changes.

Wet the spot with water and leave In

Curtains and Pillows.
Curtain stretchers are a great help
when laundering curtains and other
articles that cannot be ironed and are
best dried in shape. Those OF SUD
stantial construction, with rustprooI
pins. adjustable clamps, and a scaie
Of measure stamped on the frame: are
best. Stretchers that do not form
scallops where the pins are inserted
are best for straight-edged curtains.
Curtain stretchers can also be mace
at home by winding strips or wooo
with heavy cloth. to which the cur
tain or other article may be pinned.
Measure both dimensions of lace
curtains before laundering, so that
they can be stretched to the correct
size. Handle the curtains carefully
in the suds. squeezing and working
them rather than rubbing them.
Many curtains that appear strong
have been greatly weakened by the
action of light and go to pieces when
washed, IL a washing machine Is
used, put. the curtains in net or mus
lin bags before running them through.
Rinse and blue white curtains as
you would when washing ordinary
fabrics. Cream, ecru and brown cur
tains may be retinted. Add strong
solution of tea or coffee, or a comb
nation of both, slowly to the hot
water until the desired tint is pro-
duced when tested on piece of mus
lin. Brown cotton dyes can be used
in very weak solutions, and should be
tested on sample to obtain the right
shade. Remove the curtain as soon
Starch the curtains If desired. or use
geletin or gum arabic as a stiffener,
which is better.
A very satisfactory method of wash
ing feather pillows is to transfer the
feathers to a muslin bag two or three
times the size of the ticking by sew
ing the edges of the openings of the
ticking and the bag together and shak-
ing the feathers from one to the other.
Wash and dry the bag of feathers in
the same way as a whole pillow.
After the ticking has been washed
separately, apply very stiff starch
mixture to the inside with a sponge
to close the pores of the material and
prevent the feathers from working
through. Refill the ticking in the
same way that it was emptied.
Pillows may be washed without re-
moving the feathers. Scrub in a
weak washing soda solution. using
a good suds. Repeat in second
suds If necessary. Rinse in luke.
warm water, changing the water two
or three times. Squeeze out as much
excess water as possible and dry the
pillows on sheet in a warm place,
preferably in the sun. Beat the pill
lows from time to time during the
drying.
