Color in the
Bedroom
by Elsie de Wolfe

Elsie de Wolfe, now Lady
MendI, the best known woman
interior decorator in America.
DEOPLE seldom realize how
- much color means in the
n bedroom. Unconsciously it
affects ones waking thought, and
at night, when the light Is about
to be turned of, the last color
upon which the eye has rested
becomes shut in as a good or bad
angel to influence ones dream.
Colors soothe or colcrs agitate.
Theycreateh harmony ortheyvoice
disturbance. All colors are good
il handled with discretion and
taste-but any color becomes un-
desirable If thrown into the gen.
eral plan Of decoration without
reserve and without knowledge.
Certain combinations produce
the feeling Of grinding saws
whereas others open vistas of
rest and peace. Before using
wallpapers and materials, before
determining upon the tonality Of
beds and other furniture, before
assembling chintzes and draper
les, select samples or have these
submitted to you.

California Growers

the Mutual Orange Distributors Of

This week they addressed the fol-
lowing letter to their agents In
Texas. who in turn passed the mes
sage along TO their customers:
With reference 70 the Texas Cit
rus law which provides for the reg
istratinn OF all distributors and
jobbing houses that handel citrus
fruits and provides also that ali

for seeing that the stamp is affixed
shall rest with the jobber or pur-
chaser and must be at his expense.
IL is up TO the purchaser 10 assure
himself that the fruit will pass state
inspection and meet the require

our policy to ship to Texas any,
thing that in our Judgment will not

less the responsibility rests with the
Texas authorities and you as our

since any a becomes the property

The intent or the law as designed
was that the shipper would be re-
quired TO pay the tax. which will
average to around $40 per car. or
21-2c per box. The sugar content
under the Texas law is said to be 2
per cent higher than 1t is either in
Florida or California.

 From the Far East a new long arm has reached out to pluck away some of Italys' trade. Japan, manu- featuring cotton cloth at low cost, is underselling Italy in her tradi- tional textile markets of Egypt, the Balkans and the Indias In addi- ton Gayda advances three other reasons why Italian industry is suf- fcring:
 The costs ot production and sell ing prices have not yet become equal to the burden imposed by the revaluation of the lire. Many new countries, particularly in the Bal kans, where Italy has long had a good market, are themselves beccm- ing industrialized. Other countries are raising protective duties bar riers.
 Italy's trade deficit, Of course, Is partly balanced by several factors One is her growing shipping trade, passenger as well as freight, which brings a constant flow of income. The Italian passenger ships to and from America are well patronized. Another factor is the large amount spent in Italy by tourists, Amer

 This room is covered with a blue glass which removes the red and yellow from the lig ht passing through it. A room in full day light adjoins the blue chamber. By merely stepping into the blue room and looking back, causes everything in the full light room to appear pink, especially all white surfaces
 The illusion is due to the large volume of red rays in full light, in- visible as red to person in day. light, but noticeable to anyone out side of daylight" which in effect is the position produced by the blue chamber.

Charlie Murray, dramatic film ac- tor!
 Whats wrong with that title Nothing, as it applies to the famous comedians work in his latest First National picture, The Head Man, playing at the Palace Friday and Saturday.
 Murray had an entirely different role from those found in his recent long comedies, or his earlier two reel farces. The Head Man" was adapted from Harry Leon Wilson's whimsically humorous novel, The Boss of Little Already" and Mur- rays characterization makes him d figure of pathos as well as of com edy.
 Loretta Young and Larry Kent share honors in the love story of the picture. Lucien Littlefield heads quaint group of supporting characters in cast that, thanks to the humanness of the story and characterizations, smacks of famous old stage play aggregations.

TRADE DEFICIT ] WORRIES ITALY
E C Q nomists Figuring Out
 Ways to Bolster Up
 Commerce Balance
By ANDRUE BIRDING Associated Press Staff Writer)

ROME, Oct. 30.-Italian econom- | ists are figuring out ways and means of bolstering Italy's commer- cial balance. The fiscal year just ended showed that balance increas- ingly unfavorable.
 Alessandro Martelli, Minister of National Economy, revealed to the Chamber of Deputies that the de- ficit in the commercial balance that is, the superiority of imports over exports was $392, ,250,oOo or $146, ,440,000 more than in 1927.
 The first quarter of 1929 was even worse than the first quarter of 1928.
 Minister Martelli claims this ad- verse trade balance is due to transitory causes that might not be active this year and next. He ad- vances two reasons. one being the poor harvests resulting from incle- ment weather and the other, the Stabilization of the lire in 1927, to which costs of production and sell ing prices have not been able as yet to align themselves A subordinate reason, he says, is the increasing customs duties of other countries.
 Stabilization of the lire has un- dcubtedly worked hardship. Prices have risen 90 per cent since that step was taken.
 Virginia Gayda, editor of the Giornale D'Italia, one of the lead ling newspapers of Rome, who is a skilled economist, suggests trat to assist agriculture, three methods should be adopted; provide the farmer with cheaper capital, elimi- Inate the middleman almost com pletely, and introduce more farm machinery. The last suggestion, he admits, will conflict with the Gov ernment's "demographical' policy of increasing the population as much as possible, since more farm ma chinery will mean fewer farm la borers.
 Signor Gayda recommends for in- dustry greater concentration and analgamation of factories. There are few great Industrial plants in Italy. as there are in the United States. The difficulties of amalga- nation, he admits, are great, since practically all factories, even those of particular line of manufacture,

Attractions At Theatres
THE LEATHERNECK" IS
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

The undying quality of real man to-man friendship is the motif un- deriving William Boyd's interesting and entertaining Pathe star picture, ''The Leatherneck, which will open at the Coliseum tonight.
 Meeting in wartime, two Ameri- can marines and a German soldier form a comradeship which lasts through a decade and carries them from one outlying post of the worlds civilization to another When one meets romance. the others help him attain his hearts desire. When disaster blasts his heart and hap piness, they offer their own lives on the altar of revenge.
 In the hands of such able players as William Boyd. Alan Hale and Robert Armstrong, the three bud dies, through veal and woe, are, hearty and often humorous. Even in the most poignant moments, the "devif dogs are true to their virile, hard fighting selves. The comedy is bubbling and spontaneous and typically masculine :.
 As the only woman in the cast Diane Ellis, blonde with cameo features, prove sherself an excellent foil for the masculine array of talent, which includes in addition to Boyd, Hale and Armstrong, such talented actors as Fred K o h r, Mitchell Lewis and Jimmy Aldine. Howard Higgin directed.
