that he had been framed"

STAR OF RUSSIAN
TURF IS AMERICAN
Samuel NJ. Cation AsknoWI-

in Soviet.
BY the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, February 21.-Through-
out the Soviet Union, which is three,
times the size of the United States, the
only permanent American resident is
Samuel w. Cation of Cleveland, Ohio.
But Cation has even greater disttnc-
ton than this, for he is also the great
est Jockey In Russia. On the famous
MOSCOW race track, reminder OF the
days when racing was the sport of czarS
and kings, American tourists to Rus
STA recently saw Cation win his sixth
derby ana his one-hundredth victory
of the season.
Even the greatest Russian harness
race drivers acknowledge Cation to be
the greatest jockey of his day in the
Soviet Union.
Cations winnings in Russian trotting
races are considerably less than they
would be on American tracks. But the
popular American driver was born In
Russia and has deep attachment to
the Russian people and the country. He
therefore prefers to race in Russia
where for 40 years his father, Frank w.
the cars trainer of horses.
The son, with his brother William,
who is well known on American trotting
race circuits, was raised in the atmoS-
phere of horses and court sporting ac-
tivities.. Moreover, Cation is married
to Russian girl, the daughter of Count
Alexander zatoff, former president Of
the St. Petersburg Racing Club.
1t was Cations father who brought
the first American race horses to Rus
STA. That was half century ago, To-

RECOMMENDING
MILLER'S
HERB
EXTRACT

Everywhere I go my friends say
My, how well you look, don't look
like you had ever been sick a day
In your life" I tell them yes, and
feel better than I have for years, |
since I used few bottles Of Miller's
Herb Extract" formerly called Herb
juice. Before used this medicine
I was sick about half of my time
and nothing I tried gave me any
relief to speak Of, I had terrible
bearing-down pains in the back,
kidneys were out Of order, stomach
was upset and I simply had TO force
myself to eat. I was underWei0ht,
seemed TO have one cold on top of
another and felt so tired that it was
an effort for me to do anything;
many times when tried to do my
housework would break out in a
cold sweat and get such headaches
that I could hardly stand the pain.
This medicine was recommended to
me by a friend and on her advice
I bought my first bottle several
weeks ago today, I would not be
without it and others have recon-
naended it to say the same thing,
every bit of my old trouble has passed
away and I simply feel like a new
woman, have fine appetite, have
gained in strength, not a pain or
ache troubles me and I md real
pleasure in doing my housework.

thankful indeed that we learned
about this great medicine: it has

Shaded Tiffany Effect Is
Excellent Treatment
in Low Room.

We do not want to live in a room
the ceiling of which seems so low
that it appears about to Craze our
heads.
The depressing effect Of too low
ceiling can be remedied without call
ing in gang Of engineers and car
penters. Any good painter can do 1t
alone. He will have a number OF
special wall treatments to offer as
solutions.
Perhaps the most satisfactory Of
all is the shaded tiffany produced
with colored glaze over an under
coat of white lead paint. Aside from
its very useful function of increasing
the apparent height of a room, it is
one of the most satisfactory and
pleasing wall finishes. ~

SOFA PILLOWS
ADD BLAZE OF
COLOR IN HOME
Styles Are Different for
Every Room; Fabrics
Are Varied.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Chic new
sofa pillows for summer seem to
have developed a veritable caste
system.
Pillows for the living room are
distinct from those for the sun
parlor; pillows for the boudoir
never would step into the den; pill
lows for the ctildren's quarters are
decidedly different from those for
the drawing room; and last, but not
least, travel pillows hold themselves
apart, conscious Of the distinction
that their experience lends them.
These seven castles Of pillows pre-
sent multitudinous shapes, sizes and
fabrics. All pillows, like Milady's
clothes, show elaboration this sea-
son.
Also. like clothes, they acknowl-
edge the ACCESSIBILITY Of following
the color schemes Of a room and
blend, contrast smartly or in other
ways express its feeling"
Utility's the Thing
For the living room, pillows take
utility sizes, such as 18x24 inches or
17x17 inches. All the Serviceable
Sateens, reps, velours, tapestries,
chintzes, hand-blocked linens and
other wearable fabrics fashion these.
They are more apt to be square
or rectangular than fancy shapes.
A beige and brown room, or one
done in taupe will catch color from
a pair of lacquer red velvet pillows
with fringe or cordings.
Sun parlors use the most arnaz-
ing array of materials for their
pillows. Oil cloth, glazed chintz,
raffia embroidered flowers against
black background, modernistic fab
RIGS in studied new shapes, and
geometric pieces of vari-Colored
linen making futuristic effects in
skyscraper design all are appropri-
ate for the sun parlor.
Brilliant yellows, reds, greens and
bright Lido blues or else stunning
black-white schemes against butter
yellow or jungle green are new ideas
in coloring.
Boudoir Pillows Delicate
Boudoir pillows are fragile looking
quite as delicate and dainty as
Milady herself. Tiny round, square
or triangular pillows come in bun
dies of three, tied with satin ribbon.
Newer are the washable covers,
such as polka-dotted organdie, with
duted ruff1es or hand-embroidered
little bits of pillows, lace daintieS or
small patch work ones, done in the
shape of old-fashioned girls or little
French cuties.
Boudoir pillows match the chaise-
lounge, the bed covers, curtains or
the general color scheme of the
room. Slurred chiffons are dainty,
but perishable.

cite habit and learning anew that
there Is a lot of enjoyment in a
hand-cooked, well-balanced meal
and what is more, it has charm for
the men of their acquaintance!
1--WE have ten times the requests
for cooking equipment with one

apartment house told me. Most
girls have their breakfasts in and
several times a week cook company
dinners for their men friends. over

meals and seem to get lot Of en-
joynent out of being real domeS-

The buyer for a big department
store cites many new household
gadgetS as a direct response to re-
quests from women keeping house
in little apartments in big way.

sink, sets of dishes that come tvs

cabinet and dinette which seats two

all manner of fancy molds made i'll

Cook books with recipes for two
are those that have sold best this
winter" the head of the cooking de-
partment of one of the city's book
stores said. Most of them sell
noon hours, so I conclude it was
working girls who bought them.
They are rather fussy about bal
anced diets, too, which shows they
are beginning to take real inter-
est in cooking"
Many a marriage, have noticed,

Young men, living in furnished
rooms, appreciate the girl who can

the kitchen movement might almost
be called a romantic one!"

WATCH PAINT CHOICE
Don't Select Your Color by
Artificial Light.

Many a property owner takes
greater care in selecting the color
and cloth for his new suit than in
choosing the color and quality of
paint for his house. He does this
in spite of the fact that the paint
will cost more, will be seen by more
people and should last longer than
the suit
One mistake frequently made in
picking paint from a chart is to Sc
lect the color by artificial light.
What appears to be orange may be
deep yellow by daylight and a gray
may turn out to be blue or violet.
Red appears brighter under lamp,
and green is less bright.
Before deciding on the color 1t
may be best to let the painter mix
a few colors with his whitehead
and oil, and brush then across some
small spaces on the house itself.
The owner can then see exactly
what color he is getting.

from the Dashboard. Rich and care
fully blended tones Of golden brown
are used, starting with the deepest
tone at the base and extending to
the ceiling line where scarcely more
than the undercoat color shows. It
is this blending and gradual shading
that creates the illusion of height.
The shaded tiffany can be used
as we'll in rooms Of ordinary height.
The blend may be Of warm browns
and reds and yellows, or it may take
the form of cooler colors such as
green and blue. An ivory colored

PERSONALITY
GIVEN ROOM IN
Home BY PIANO
Musical instrument Often
Finishing Touch of
Charm.

Pianos often lend Just the charm
needed for rooms which seem to be
lacking some vital piece of furni-
ture to give them the personality
the home maker wishes them to
possess.
Piano styles have undergone some
revolutionary changes during the
last few years. The impression was
given in the past that they were
built to certain bulky measur aments
and there was no varying from
these styles.
Today one can get beauty of tone
and attractive designs in the same
piano. The price range is within
the means of all those who own
their own furniture.
Apartment Piano Popular
An innovation that hae caught
the fancy of all is that even the
small home or apartment can be
furnished with a piano small enough
to meet the requirements of space
limitation.
These are obtainable both in the
upright and grand models. They
are finished handsomely and their
tone will meet the demands of the
most exacting.
If one is doing his home in the
period style it is possible to get a
piano that will be in harmony with
the general trend. Even art moderne
has wound its way to the piano field.
Likewise the one who is furnish
ing his living room in certain woods
may have his piano in the same
material. This is a privilege that is
being made use of by those who are
discriminating.
Many Prefer Upright
While it generally is supposed
that the baby grand type of piano
has pushed the upright into the
background it is not entirely borne
out by fact.
Interior decorators will show you
that in many styles of homes the
bright is preferable to the baby
grand.
And if painted furniture is the
vogue in the room where a piano is
needed-then one can get painted
one to carry out the color scheme
of the room.
Piano manufacturers have kept
abreast of the time and even though
the occupants of the house are not
musically inclined the modern piano
lends its charm as piece of furni-
ture, a thing of beauty.

FURNITURE And
HOME SETTING
SHOULD BLEND
Modern Types May Be Out
of Place in House of
Older Days.

Modern furniture taken from its
appropriate setting in an exhibition
room to an old-fashioned home Is
apt to become another Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's court. 1t
will revolutionize the old surround
ings.
The skyscraper book case, the lit
tie box affair that can be used for a
footstool or a telephone and maya
zine stand or coal scuttle, the soft
arm chair that somehow suggests a
comfortable animal summing itself,
the cubistic andironS-these articles
demand a setting different from that
which was suitable for furniture de-
signed fifty or even fifteen years ago.
1t is usually the fault of the pur-
chaser and not the furniture de-
signer II the new pieces seem as out
of-place as a ministerial frock coat
on a cannibal.
II Looks Lost
Early American furniture in a
Louis XIV room looks lost. And
modern furniture in a 1900 room
looks strayed or stolen.
Many pieces or good old furniture,
It is true, look we'll beside modern
articles, but the room for the new
style furniture must be Of this age
in character.
Simplicity should be the keynote.
The room should give the impress
sion that it is designed to be just as
1t is. There should be no feeling
Of haphazard uncertainty. Spa
ciousness is essential. There should
be no crowding Of furniture or
knicknacks.
Avoid involved patterns. If the
curtains show strong figured de-
sign, let the walls and the rugs be
plain. It is well to have colored
walls, but no pattern other than the
texture Of the painted walls them
selves.
The basket weave and the fan
swirl, both made with a whisk broom
and whitehead plastic paint, are
distinctly of this age.
Glazing Is Effective
The weave moderne, another re-
Gently designed finish. gives an ap-
propriate background for the new
furniture. The effect is produced
simply by drawing a whisk broom
through the plastic paint at various
angles as shown in the accompan-
ing illustration.
The broom sweeps should be fairly
long and overlap so as to form a
series of interlacing diagonal lines.
Particularly effective results may be
had with this finish by glazing with
gold, silver, bronze or some other
metal color.
The interlacingi lines give to walls
a richness as subdued and unob-
trusive as the fine granting Of a
tropic wood.
A solid color rug is more restfu1
than one with a striking or bold
pattern that leads the eye back and
forth in wavy lines or around in
circles.
Comfort and restfulness are of
paramount Importance in the mod
ern interior.

AWNINGS ARE VARIED
Arabian and Moorish Types
Are Popular.

"Take me somewhere east OF Suez,
where the best is like the worst"
This line from Kipling pops up
when householders consider the
style, texture and personality OF
their summer awnings, for awnings
distinctly have heard the "call OF
the east"
Arabian, Venetian and Moorish
canopies will be more popular in
1890 for residential sun-shades than
ever before in the past.
Spearheads are the predominant
ing ornaments for the Arabian and
Moorish awnings, with wroughtlron
chains used in the Venetian window
protectors.
Colors are bizarre. A tone for
every house paint can be purchased.
