COLORS ARE APPROVED
IN BUILDING OF HOMES

How simple is it to make your home
more attractive and livable by judi
cious use of color in furniture. wood
work and hangings!
You want your living room COM
Portable but cheerful, not too wildly
colorful. If the general color scheme
is a restful brown, or oak, or mahog-
any, why not enhance the tone effect
and avoid monotony by introducing a
"relief" note of color? Paint a chair
or table, bookcase or some other piece
of furniture in coral. sand. Chinese
red or India ivory lacquer.
In your bedroom perhaps you viii
lacquer all the furniture in one color
Holland blue, Persian lilac or palm
green-using some contrasting color
for stenciling and stripping.
In the breakfast room and kitchen
you should use bright. cheerful colors
that improve your disposition and
your appetite-colors like Argentine
orange, peacock blue and jonquil
yellow.

Capt. Hyde crashed

Weather was good when he
started but there was a heavy fog
on the mountains and he failed to
arrive.
1t was not until ten days later
that they found his dead body and
his wrecked plane. He had crashed
only six miles from Bellefonte. "Un-
doubtedly his death was due to the
prevalence of fog" explains the
postmaster general.
Not always is so much known
about the pilots tragedy. One of
the greatest mysteries of the service
is how Art Smith met his death.
