ART DESIGNERS

Chevrolet Schemes Are Not
Dashed On; Employees

Watching the new Chevrolet as IL
hoses gracefully through traffic OF
presses forward eagerly on some
highway, you may have wondered
how its various color blendings are
conceived. and why they appear in
such profusion. You might have
guessed that so alert an organiza-
ton as General Motors does nothing
h~aphazardly. that there must be a
special department in charge of col
or creation. And If such was your
guess you were right.
The art and color division OF
General Motors is the source of all
the color schemes which enhance
every General Motors car from the
graceful Chevrolet to the baronial
Cadillac. Here colors are evolved
systematically. the same degree OF
efficiency prevailing that Is found
In the sales and manufacturing di-
visions. Nothing is left to guess
work.
The studio, In charge of Captain
III. LAdyard Towle. has a research
department. without any known du-
plteate In the world. Chief among
It's functions is to keep the art
staff constantly posted as to the
nuctuating color preferences in
America and abroad. for STYLES in
celor. as in other things, are known
TO move in cycles.
Constant check is being made to
ascertain which is the reigning COL
Or blend In the exclusive dress max
ing salons, in the kitchens and bath
i rooms of America. in the art gall
leries of the world. A complete

They listen willingly, eagerly TO the
reactions Of the ShreWd sales man

chief. AT these conferences the jury
system prevails, and thus from a

salesman. the artist and the pro-
duction EXPERT finally agree upon
which is to be used.
Captain Towle credits pyrCxylir

Now that beauty can be had with
cut costly delay, industry IN almost
every line is busy coloring its prod

People are growing to like colored
objects more and more each day,
Captain Towle says, and he points
to colored clocks. pencils and bath
tubs as proof Of his assertion. All
of these signs indicate, he believes,
that America is entering into an
artistic renaissance comparable to
the famous italian renaissance with
American industrialistS acting as
patrons as did the mobiles Of the
other period.

ANCIENTCAMEL
WAS REAL WET
Fossils Reveal Ancestor Of
Ships OF Deserts Lived
In Florida

NEW YORK, April 13.-P-A
camel has been discovered which
lived In lush moisture in Florida
a half million years ago.
1t is among a collection Of fos-
sis that the American Museum
of Natural History is studying in
conjunction with Florida geolo-
gists.
This wet camel Is a new species.
1t Is found along with geological
indications that Florida for a half
million years at least has had a
climate about like that of today,
with no deserts for camels to roam
In, or even arid conditions.
The camel is about the size of a
llama, its body about the height
of a horse, but its head standing
higher on a long neck. Speed of
hoof is inferred from its light
structure and slender leg bones.
Whether 1t possessed a hump has
not been determined.
This camel" says DR.. G.. G.
Simpson, associate curator of ver-
tebrate paleontology at the mus
cum, lis n of a mass of animals
that flourished In Florida. Other
fossils include mammoths, masto-
dons, Saber-toothed tigers, extinct
species of horses and dire wolves.
These wolves were larger than
present day timber wolves. Their
name dire is a corruption of the
Latin word dirus. meaning ter
rible.
THE moist climate Florida is
known to have had is no handicap
to the preservation Of fossil bones.

New Surgery Used
In Operation Upon
Aged Col. House

NEW YORK, April 13.-(P-One
of the most recent achievements Of
medical science, improved spinal
anesthetsia, is exemplified in the
major operation on Col. Edward M.
House, at the age Of 70.
Spinal aneStheSia has been known
a long time, but has come into wide
favor only within about a year past.
It is administered By injecting an
anesthetic directly into the spine.
and it produces loss Of sensation of
pain for the bodily parts below
whatever place on the spine is chos-
en-. Thus it is possible to leave a
patient conscious, while performing
a serious operation.
The reasons for the new effec-
tiveneSS Of spinal aneStheSia, and
of other advances in surgery, are ex-
planned in q summary of the years
accomplishments by the medical in
formation bureau Of the New York
county medical society.

vance in surgery" it says. lis in the
increased employment of spinal an
esthesia. The success of this meth
Cd has been due largely to the ad-
vance in chemistry, whereby it is
possible now to use many drugs
without toxic or lethal danger.
THE application of a technique
for pre-operative surgery, study and
care outlined by the American col
lege Of surgeons has had a marked
tendency in reducing the dangers
faced by patients. Longer hospital
ization and better and perhaps more
conservative handling Of the pa
tent have tended better to assure
the chances for quick and unevent-
full recovery.
