100000 LIVES
ARE SAVED BY
BUYING SEALS
Commission for City Is An
nounced, Sale Starts
on Thursday.

More than 1o00OO lives are saved
in America annually by sale of
tuberculosis Christmas Seals. Death
rate has decreased more than so
per cent since 1914.
The seal sale here during the last
twelve years has made possible Sun
nySide Sanitarium and the Theodore
Potter Fresh Air School. 1t has
helped to give Indianapolis adequate
clinical facilities and a county
nursing program.
Child nutrition in city and coun-
~ schools and the child health edu-
cation owes existence to money
made from seals. Thousands of
tuberculosis cases have been dis
covered, isolated and placed under
personal supervision.
Bring Health Message
Health messages have been car
ried into industries, sanitary and
health laws have been enforced and
legislation secured for the disease
control.
Next great step in tuberculosis
prevention here will be a nutrition
camp for sick children. From pro-
ceeds of former Christmas seal sales,
eighty acres of ground on White
Lick Greek, north of Bridgeport,
have been purchased for the camp
site. Public spirited citizens are al
ready planning contributions to
finance necessary buildings.
International Financing
The Seal Commission points out
that the Christmas Seal has become
an international method of financ-
ing humanity's battle against tuber-
culosiS. Twelve great countries now
sell seals at Christmas time.
Sale of seals in indianapolis will
begin Thursday. Letters will be
mailed to citizens, offering small
amounts of seals and setting out the
community health development
made possible through their sale.
Eight prominent men and women
make up the 1927 Christmas Seal
Commission, named by Fred A. Sims
president Of the Marion County Tu-
berculosis Association. The COM
mission will have 4 large part in
guiding the sale of seals and health
bonds this year. Members of the
commission are Frederic M. AyreS,
president of L. S. Ayres & Co.; Rev.
Francis H. Gavisk, Mrs. John H.
Holiday, DR.. Alfred Henry, vice
president of the National Tubercu-
1osis Association and president of
the board of directors of Sunnyside
Sanitorium; Rev. o. w. Fifer, dis
trict superintendent of the Indiana
Methodist Church Conference; John
w. Lewis, president of the United

houses with the architectural features
of this period, but furnished and
decorated so atrociously that we are
endeavoring to describe here the most
suitable furniture and it's best ar
rangement against the architectural
detail and background of this style.
The delicate and straight paneing
requires furniture of graceful and
straight lines. Hepplewaite, Shera-
ton, Louis XVI. Adam. Directoire
and even early Empire are correct,
but there must be symmetry in
arrangement.
Tall Pieces Barred.
The scale in the furnishing of this
type of room should be kept light.
No tall pieces should be used. The
chair rail is low and the ma ajority Of
the furniture should be about that
height. AS one can easily see. the use
of this low furniture around the room
makes a decided contrast to the tall
windows, and suner-mantel construc-
ton. The feeling of delicacy and
exquisite restraint thus created is
ones first impression of the Adam
period.
Also the contrast or the mahogany
which was used for most of the
Hepplewaite and Sheraton furniture
with the light walls adds to the gen.
eral sense of fine scale.
The walls may be painted white,
gray. green. blue or mauve. but all
of these colors must be used in pastel
shades. The Adam green" is still
one of our most popular wall shades.
These colors also are appropriate
for the draperies, which may be of
light silk. plain or striped. taffeta.
satin or damasks, but always light
and delicate in pattern.
Net curtains should be of fine plain
net or of one with graceful figures Of
Adam inspiration. The rugs for this
room should always be plain.

Sun Porch of Adams Inspiration
RY ELIZABETH sTETSON.

This sun porch is not really sun
porch at all. but a decorative vista
which can be seen from the hall
through a large arch. 1t is about 10
feet deep by 90 feet wide. The bal
anced treatment, the rectangular lines
and delicate paneling. with the arched
window dominating the two groups OF
furniture, are suggestive of the Adam
period.
The Adam style is the direct result
of the second classic revival. The dis
covery of Pompeii and Herculaneum
(around 1170l. the old Roman cities
which were buried in the great erup-
ton Of Vesuvius, reawakened the in
terest of the entire world in Roman
architecture and art. Robert Adam,
son Of one of the well known archi-
tects of England. went abroad to see
and study these great discoveries. His
books and the subsequent style of
architecture developed by him and his
brother James became the rage IN
England. Every one turned classical
and many of the great country estates
of earlier style were remodeled by the
Brothers Adams.
Correct Scale Exemplified.
The interior architecture OF this
period has a feeling of correct scale
and restraint and cannot be handled
with the informality suitable to many
other periods. 1t is marked princi-
pally by rectangular lines and fine
proportions. relieved by graceful
arches. Long straight paneling. made
by attaching holdings to the surface
of the plaster wall, gives a sense of
extreme height and delicacy to the
room. The finish of the plaster should
be fine: rough plaster would be en-
tirely out of keeping.

LARGE TRADERS GONE

$800,000,0 900 Shaved From Corn
Crop Value Without Making or

CHICAGO, October 20.-This pres
ent severe decline in corn prices, shaw.
ing nearly $500. 900. 900 from the early
season paper value of the crop. with
out making or breaking fortunes OF
traders, reveals that the great bears
and bulls of yore are not now func
tioning in the grain pits.
Those big leaders who used to stake
millions on their judgment of world
grain conditions and then reap either
opuience or ruin as their reward have
pretty well turned away from the
board Of trade to pay attention to the
New York stock market. Not since
the exciting bull market in wheat in
1925 have these grain kings been
showing off.
There was some talk that this
weeks unsettlement on the New York
Stock Exchange had been partly due
to selling by Western traders who had
lost heavily in corn. They were sup
posed to have purchased long lines OF
this grain at $1.05, only to see it drop
off to S5c in very short time.
But the best information amons
grain traders is that no particular
traders have suffered severely in the
collapse which carried corn from a
high price of $1.20 down to S5c and
below in a few weeks time. And
traders also say there was no out
standing bear on hand to reap millions
As values slid off.
The "big boys" of speculative trade
have SHE'D away from big operations
