MODERN AND
ORIENTAL,

Most Of us would like to have
at least one room to which we
could escape from the humdrum
of every day furnishings. Such
a room is most easily accom-.
plished by the Introduction of
decorations from a far, strange
country.
To a Western household. of
course. the Oriental accessories
seem most fascinating and they
have had a place in our homes
ever since the New England sea
captains brought back their first
cargoes.
However. they should not be
used without some attempt to
give them harmonious back
ground.
Rugs from various countries
are on sale in every store and
so many wallpaper patterns have
been adapted from motifs in for
eign art that it is always possible
to find design sympathetic with
the atmosphere you select.
Japanese and Chinese art COM
bines very we'll with the simple
modern furniture.
One decorator uses the grav
and blue Japanese rugs-familiar
generally some years ago-on the
floors and selects very conserva-
tive modern furniture with jap
anese color on the wall and in
the fabrics. On the furniture he
uses good deal of gold and
gray damask. He hung the walls
with landscape wallpapers of Jap
anese inspiration. and utilized
Japanese products at the doors
and windows. This did not ac-
cOmplish a Japanese room at all
but an American room of Japanese
furnishings used with charming
effect.

Three Youths Meet Challenge By Starting All Over Again-Hire Boys On Bicycles to Patrol Route
 As "Puncture Insurance"

New York, Aug. 1.-UP)-When the chronicle of marathon dancing, channel swimming and endurance flying is written. it may be necessary for the historian 10 append footnote on the gallant attempt of three boys to set a record with a second hand motorcycle.
 Out at Carle Place, l.. l.. the youths are taking turns on the m motorcycle after overcoming heart rending obstacles. The tragedy of their endurance ride is that resi- dents are not enthused over the promises of Ben krinsky, Max Heller and Coy Miller to Put Carle Place on the map"
 Cycle Keeps Folks Awake
 The chief complaint of residents who live along the route of the en- durance attempt is that the motor cycle keeps them awake. Motorcycle endurance riding, it seems, involves keeping the cutout open to obtain the best results.
 Thus it was in that darkest hour that comes just before the dawn an irate householder craftily slipped out of his front door and distributed a box of tacks along the route which the endurance machlne would travel.
 The three youths already had rid den 13 hours and refueled twice when that lamentable incident oc- cured The residents retired to their beds leaving krinsky and his com panions patching tires. Little did the citizenry reckon that the goal of am- bition would lift the boys over such

trivialities as Jacks. Soon the putt putt of the motorcycle informed the sleeping families that the course had been swept clear of tacks and that another assault on the motorcycle endurance record of 112 hours was under way.
 Boys Hunt for Tacks
 Dawn brought further complca- tions, for then it was discovered that krinsky had employed six boys on bicycles to patrol the course and keep it clear of tacks. Refueling, ac- complished by driving another mo- torcycle up beside the endurance machine and running a hose over, was progressing satisfactorily all though there was some spilling of fuel. Four gallons of gasoline last six hours.
 The citizens of Carle Place, finding obstructionist tactics unavailing, re- sorted to diplomacy. Perhaps the en- durance riders would be willing to ride only in the daytime? There was mention of civic reception at Carle Place town hall after the vague record of 112 hours was broken, if only the boys would cease their night riding. There was given a hint of monetary reward.
 The bright glare of gold and glory failed to distract krinsky, Heller and Miller from their grim purpose and the patched tires of the endurance machine continued to weave dust ribbons across Carrie Places streets. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS
