THE COLORFUL BEDROOM
BY Agnes Foster Wright,
Interior Decorator.

To capture the charm of color in
your home, to select, discard, COM
bine, contrast the infinite variety of
shades which are at your command
this is a part of the art of inter-
iOr decoration.
At the risk of seeming profession
al 1 am going to give few simple
rules for the use of color in the
bedroom, rules which 1 have found
to he of practical value in my own
work.
First, take into consideration the
exposure of your bedroom. The
north room must have bright, warm
colors. The bedroom which is nor
mally flooded with sunlight should
have more subdued shades.
Second, take stock of the furnish
ings and decorations which you al
ready have, or are planning to use
in redecorating. See if it will not
be possible to make use of your
present rug, perhaps your curtains,
certainly the better part of your
furniture.
Third, fix some one color, or a
combination of two cOlOrs which
will be the dominating tone of the
room. Perhaps that color will be in
the rug, the wallpaper, the color
you are planning to apply to the
bed.
Fourth, when you have selected
the dominating tone and have fixed
it either in finish or wallpaper or
rug, or curtains, built the rest of
your color scheme around that dim
mating tone. Let harmOnizing
shades predominant with one spot
of contrast.
Many color combinations for diff
ferent types of bedrooms are simple,
practical, and easy to execute. I
recommend that you get Duco
color chart and plan your decorat-

INSURANCE AGAINST COLDS

While attending the Eastern
States Conference at Cornell Uni
versity, Ithaca, New York, several
weeks ago, Mrs. Helen V. Mckinley
of the University of Delaware. Wis
tied the nursery school.
"The most impressive thing I saw
there" said Mrs. Mckinley "was the
wav every child took teaspoonful
of cod-liver oil. No persuasion was
necessary. In fact, since 1t is an
everyday occurrence, it is just taken
for granted that it is the thing to do.
This bears out a statement made IN
the March Ladies Home Journal
that food tastes are due largely to
habit"
The teacher of the school stated
that they consider this necessary IN
that section of the country, not only
for children but also for adults be-
cause they have little sunshine there.
She also added that they attribute
the small number of colds from
which the pupils and the staff, who
also take the daily dosage, suffer to
this daily use of the oil.
DR.. E. V. McCollum states in
recent lecture in Philadelphia, that
adults need only two drops three
times a week, while growing chill
dren need a teaspoonful per day es-
pecially in the winter months when
they get little sunshine directly on
the bare skin. The variety of forms
in which cod-liver oil may be pur-
chased make it suitable to any taste.
The cause of colds has long baff-
led physicians. The effects of them
are often serious.
'Many farmers insure good health
for their chickens by feeding this
commodity-surely they must think
as much Of their children and them
Selves" says Mrs. Mckinley.

DEMOCRATIC BY STATUTE"

The time has again come when
dyed-in-the-woOl Democrats may
gleefully gloat over the ia solid
votes in the electoral college. which
are an assuer group Dut of the 531
votes which will be cast by the cleo
toral college, following the coming
November election, when Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, AIississ-
ippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkan-
sas shall have been counted for their
presidential candidate.
In the great majority IF the states
just enumerated, it is just as diff
cult for a negro to. vote as It is for
him Tor any other human being, for
that matter) to memoTize the Con-
stitution of the United States or
trace his grandfather's ancestry.
Could he use the ballot with free
dom, this vote "bonus" of ia cleo
toral votes could be cut down to its
Square root" of Democracy.
Notwithstanding the recent illogi-
cal conclusions of Senator Swanson,
Democrat, of Virginia, and his trlb-
ute to statutory provisions in the
solid Southern Democratic states, IN
which elections are "constitutionally
regulated" the cold, cold fact re-
mains that the negro population in
the ten states just named is as sure
" suuelched as are the running"
ambitions of a convict who has
4O-pound ball and chain attached to
him. The latter practice, however, is
legal under the statutes Of those
states.

DADS DELIRIUM

Has anyone ever written of the
emotions of a father during the pro-
gressive stages of development of
his son?
When the boy is born dad is de-
liriously happy blows the crowd
and generally makes an exhibition
of himself. Secretly he resolves
that he will not be like Jones down
at the office, always talking about
the cute doings and bright sayings
of his offspring. However, in
short time he is competing with
Jones in this respect, justifying him
self on the ground that he will not
let Jones do all the Boosting, and,
besides, his kid is darn site cutter
than the Jones brat, anyhow.
After the big problem of the
name has been decided on, if the
new arrival is not to be a junior,
there comes the period when the
infant face is developing definite
characteristics and dads faVorite
indoor sport is trying to determine
which side of the house the nose,
eyes, ears and mouth belong to.
Then comes the prattling age, and
dad makes an ass of himself trying
to initiate the childish lispings.
When the big lummux begins goo
gooing around, his friends often
wish he could be painlessly elimin-
ated.
Next comes the period of bright
sayings, when the youngster, as all
youngsters occasionally will,
springs something that sounds pre-
cocious. Dad is tickled pink and
begins to feel that he is the parent
of a future president. He don't tell
anyone of his great thoughts, how
ever, and it is just as well that he
doesn't.
The boy goes to school and in
stead of scintillating like gem
among his fellows, brings home
note from the teacher, reading:
Little Johnny is very backward in
numbers and spelling, and it would
help a great deal if he could be drill
ed in these subjects at home" Dad
don't quite know what to make of
this, and concludes that the teacher
is a dumbell or is peeved at Johnny
for some reason.
Then comes the ungainly age,
when the gangling boy seems all
hands and feet, will not wash his
neck unless forced to do so, and
looks upon a bath as something in
vented by grOwnups just to take the
joy out of life.
Suddenly, like the flowers in
Spring tar la la, the youngster BIOS
SONS forth as modern youth,
showing preference for violet ties,
argumentative socks and combative
shirts. He smokes occasionally,
spends long periods before the look
ing glass, and thinks the girls are
wild about him. Serious thoughts
and work are foreign to his nature,
and dad is afflicted with the tor
menting suspicion that he is the I'M
fortunate parent of the village nit
wit
In time, however, the young man
is old enough to vote and gets job.
He wears a number seven hat, and
reminds one of Napoleon and Wash
ington-he is so different. In short,
he is an average man.

NEW ERA IN FARMING

Is a new era coming in American
farming? Will the next decade see
something radical happening to
American farms-perhaps a reor-
ganization of agriculture on a basis
similar to that of industry?
For the past year Wheeler Nc
Millen, associate editor of Farm and
Fireside magazine, has been making
an exhaustive study of conditions
pointing toward a complete change
in the country's agricultural organ
ization, and his findings, which will
be presented in the March issue of
his magazine, point to the growth
of "corporation-Owned farms" Oper-
ated under highly industrialized
methods, and there seems a likli-
hood that this development will
succeed the small farm as the dom
inant type of American farm.
1.-THE change will be a distinct
improvement" declares Mr.. McMil-
len in introducing his theory, both
for the individual farmer and for
agriculture as a whole. The sociO-
logists and country lifers likely will
disagree with this assertion; so will
most farmers. The economic his
tory of America supports it"
Taking for example an imaginary
corporation called the Industrial
Farming Company, controlling TO-
600 or 10000 acres, Mr.. McMillen
gives an outline of it's operation. At
the top would be a general manager
who would select experts RESPONSE
BILE for each department. The swine
superintendent would be in entire
charge of hog production. The crops
experts would direct planting and
cultivation. The engineer would
supervise machinery, buildings,
fences, drains and repairs on the
domain. Another man would handle
the sales, watch the markets and
find the best buyers for the COM
pany's output.
The results to be aimed at would
be efficiency. The traditional indie
pendence of the farmer will be sur
rendered only so far as that indie
pendence permits him to work with
out ample capital, without Compel.
ent direction and without suitable
equipment. This changfe has hap
pened in every other industry with
vast benefit to all concerned.
Publication of Mr.. McMillen's ar
ticle will probably be the signal
for a nationwide discussion.

BIG-HTTCH DEMONSTRATIONS
INTEREST HORSE OWNERS

Several of our better farmers are
working 8, 9, 10, and IL horse teams,
driving them with one pair of lines
and actually doing more work than
two, and in some cases three, men
were doing before"
This comment, received by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture from w. R. Hauser, live
stock specialist in South Dakota, is
typical of numerous reports pointing
out the practical value of big-team
bitches. Demonstrations on the use
of these large power units for keep
ing down the cost Of crop produc-
ton have become an unusually pop
ular live stock-eXtensiOn project.
Twenty-four big-team-hitch demon
STATIONS in South Dakota last fall
were witnessed by total attendance
of approximately 1000 farmers.
In Minnesota SO similar demon
strations were held late last sum-
mer in &c counties, the total attend
ance being more than $500. F. W.
Peck, director of agricultural extern
sion in Minnesota, says that several
hundred observers already have OBJ
tanned the necessary equipment and
implements for using big-team nit
ches on their farms.
The successful use Of big-team
bitches involves the arrangement of
horses partly in tandem for the pur-
pose of avoiding side draft and for
simplicity in driving. Experience is
demonstrating that the big teams
which have been used principally, in
the past, for operating large har-
vesting equipment in the Northwest
can be adapted to conditions in the
Corn Belt and other regions having
extensive fields. Big teams are es-
pecially adapted for blowing, disk
ing, narrowing, and harvesting.

of the Berlin flying field.
Any passenger who fears that lie
may become airsick, may inhale the
antidote, which consists in the main
of oxygen gas and cinnamon. The
mixture has u quieting effect upon
the nerves Of the diaphragm.
Air passengers who arrived at Tenn
