The evolution of light and light
ing fixtures is a most interesting
study, and today we find the de:
signers returning to the days of the
oil lamp for their motifs for lamps
cf rare charm. Which light for
which place is one of the home
decorators greatest interests. Each
room presents its own special prob
lem, the type of furnishings deter
mining to a large extent the kind
of fixtures, and lamps.
A really beautiful, well designed
fixture is never common. An ar
ticle that is designed for a special
purpose is rarely grotesque. 1t is
when we get into the ge-poige
era of half century ago that we
find so many things unsuited to
their purpose. The modern design
ers seem to follow to some extent
this same era, and seek to litter
our homes with meaningless bric-a-
brac. But if you combine good de-
sign with adaptability, you will
rarely go wrong.
Pottery of good design and color
/, makes a lamp base of rare beauty.
Combine this with parchment
shade, or one of finely plated ma
! terials, on frames in proportion to
he size of the base. and YOU will
have made good choice.
Tones of yellow are best for lamp
shades, because artificial light is
yellow. Too, yellow light adds to
the richness and quality of the fur
,ushings, mellowing them into soft
beauty, whereas Il colder light
would tend to gray them.
The placing of lights is easily de-
.ermined. Each group of furniture
should be well lighted. SO that no
guest or member of the family is
obliged to sit in shadow. To light
one chair and leave another unlight
| ID suggests Il lack of hospitality,
| for the first to arrive naturally seat
themselves within the aura of a well
shaded light.
1t might be well to add few
words in regard to the relation of
the shade to the lamp bulb. We
hear lot about the glaring oil
! lamp days, when people did not have
their lamps shaded, as we of the
electric light era do, but how many
people take the shade from lamp,
| SO rs to have more light on either
| their sewing or reading not think
! ing of the person who must face
this bright, binding light, \ good
rule 20 observe when fitting shade
TO lamp is that from a sitting
i posture, no where in the room can
! the direct light from the bulb be
seen.
Ceiling lights are not always beau
liful. but at times necessary as in
the dining room. The table should
be well lighted and this can best
lie accomplished by an overhead
light If the fixture is not thing

j. S. DEBT COURSE
CLOUDED |NDOUBT
Hoover's Statement That Ma
ton Would Not Sign Young
Plan Is Main Question.

BY the Associated Press.
There was complete air Of doubt in
both official and diplomatic circles here
today as to the future course which the
United States will take in the matter
Of participation in the German repara-
tions question.
The recent statement of President
Hoover, that the United States would
not be signatory of the Young plan,
which was agreed upon in Paris by the
reparations experts, appeared to be the
principal point which those opposed to
future participation in the reparations
question by the United States were en-
phasizing in their discussions.
They also called attention to the en-
phatic statement Of Secretary Stimson
on May 16 that the washington Gov
ernment does not desire to have any
American official participate in the col
lection of German reparations through
the proposed international bank.
It has been argued on the other
hand that the United States might send
an unofficial observer to the forthcom-
ing meeting of the representatives OF
the interested powers to consider the
report.
