Bowling Teams Display Good
Form on Monday Night

With the best display of bowling
seen on the Recreation Alleys this
year, the Rotary club, Presbyterian,
Knights of Columbus and Postoffice
quints rolled the highest total number
of pins during any one evening, on
Monday when 1910 were knocked
from the alleys. None of the totals
of each three game series went be-
low 1892. Eleven scores on these four
teams were 400 or better. In these
matches, the Rotary club took two of
three from the Presbyterians, while
the Knights of Columbus took two
from the Postoffice.
In last Thursdays games the
Methodists took three from the Post
office and the Rotary club took three
from Crellin. Tonight the Metho-
dists will meet Crellin and the mer-
chants will battle the Lutherans. The
curtain on the Third Annual Bowl
ing League will be drawn next week
and it is probable that the Merchants,
winners of the first round, will bat
tie the Presbyterians for the cham
pionship of the league.

THE HOMEMAKERS CORNER
BY MISS ELSIE BENTHIEN
Home Demonstration Agent
Color in the Home

The furnishings of a room may be
of excellent lines, proportion and
balance, but if the colors are not har-
monious and subtly blended, the deco
rations will not satisfy the eye. Thru
color may be expressed gayety and
quietness, simplicity and luxury. 1t
is powerful influence in determining
the character of a room. Are your
rooms large or small, light or dark ?
Light colors tend to make room
look larger and cleaner and aid in
conserving light.
Dark colors tend to make room
look smaller, darker and less cheer
full. Large areas call for soft, dull or
greyed tones. Bright colors are used
in small amounts only to give &C
cent or emphasis to a color scheme.
Rooms with a southern exposure
call for cool, restful colors. Use col
ors tinged with green or blue.
Rooms with a northern exposure re.
quire warm colors which are tinged
with red, yellow or orange, such as
tan or taupe, sand or brown.
Pleasing color effects are compare
lively inexpensive to achieve. For the
living room the middle values which
are neither light nor dark are in gen
eral most appropriate. Shades of
rose, mulberry, delft blue and the tans
or colds no doubt give the most
pleasing effects.

olives, fruit salad, pie and cake, prac-
tically all furnished by the boys Of
the association.

National Notes for Young Pe0-

To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Dear Sir-The quota immigration
law is one of the questions likely to
come up for consideration in the short
session of the list Congress. This
law was to go into effect July 1, 1929.
But doubts are felt as to its accom-
plishing its intention, The quota bill
of 1924 admitted to this country per
cent of the foreignborn population Of
the 1890 census. This law also carried
a provision for establishment of quo
tas based on National Origins. To
obtain data for this scientists were to
start with the first U. S. census OF
1890, analyze growth Of population to
date with reference to national ances-
tries, fix thus the proportion each for
eign country contributed to the Uni
ted States "native stock" and the de-
velopment of that stock since. Then
to the U. S. were to be admitted an
nually 100000 immigrants in direct
proportion to the contributions their
native countries have made to the
whole U. S. Negroes excluded. Mr.,
Hoover himself was on the commits
sion to which this subject referred
and their report said: eve wish to
state that in our opinion historical
and statistical information available
raises grave doubts as to the value of
these computations" AS presidential
candidate Mr. Hoover declared, "The
basis now in effect 1924 2 per cent?
carries out the essential principle Of
the law and | favor repeal of that
part of the law calling for new
basis of quotas" The question was
brought up to the 10th Congress, but
not fully considered. 1t promises to
be one of those matters to be dis
cussed by the short session before the
list Congress.
Air trains have been tried out in
California and at Berlin. At Berlin
the airplane makers hitched motor
less glider to the tail of a regular
plane. To the tail of that glider they
hitched a second glider. This train
attained an altitude of 1900 fit. The
pilot of the rear glider cut loose from
the train and coasted to earth. The
pilot of the next or first trailer did
likewise Finally the motored plane
landed. In California the air train of
plane and one glider went for IT'S
miles. Much is expected from these
experiments. Speed, of course, for
passengers is promised, also lower
cost of passage with increased use;
also "a fast-flying train can touch in
different airports without stopping,
by cutting off its trailers one by one
with passengers or freight"
A cornstalk pulp mill has been es-
tablished at Danville, Ill. This is the
only such mill in the world. Its presi-
dent, Mr.. Day, has announced that the
first cornstalk newsprint mill will
soon start up at Sartell, MINI. In
Kalamazoo, Mich, blend of 65 per
cent cornstalk and 35 per cent wood
sulphite produced paper of bond
quality. But Mr.. Day declares that
experiments of RECENT months have
proved that 100 per cent cornstalk
paper is entirely satisfactory in
opacity and strength. Vellum the
ancients knew and paper of papyrus,
paper of old rags and reclaimed old
