Each of the structural advances in

The half timbers Of cypress were laid
on the cinder- block base with heavy
gauge tin flashing placed flush into
the right angles created by the thick
ness Of the timber and the face of the
cinder wall. The flashing is designed
to prevent driving rains from beating

changing temperatures cause natural
shrinkage in the wood After the tim

Cautioned About Color.

The surging wave of color in home
decoration carries with it a need for
caution. We must live with our colors
and therefore we must choose wisely
and well. in order that we may get
along with them in peace and harmony
and comfort. Color, mere color, wrong
ly chosen, can destroy all these pleas

BY the Associated Press.


SANTIAGO, Chile, June l4.-William
Miller Collier, United States Ambassa-
dor to Chile. has resigned. Mr.. Collier,
in statement last night, said:
81 found it necessary to send my
resignation to President Coolidge be-
cause of the difficulty of attending to
my affairs in the United States while
here and the impossibility OF absenting
myself from my post for a sufficient
time to permit me to look after these
affairs in person.
Mr.. Collier added that he had spent
a pleasant seven-year assignment in
Chile. He said his relations with all
the foreign Ministers who have held
office in that time have been most
friendly and that the relations between
Chile and the United States have never
been more satisfactory.
1t Is understood here that the White
House has indicated to Mr.. Collier that
his desire to return to the United States
will be respected.
