BY HOWARD KETCHAM,
Director. Color Advisory Service.


Some colors lack that elusive some
thing that we shall call personality, for
want of a more descriptive term. It
wasn't so very many years ago that most
people were satisfied to make general
use of three primary colors plus black
and white, Porch furniture, typewriters
bathrooms and motor cars were offered
in a restricted range of colors. Since
that time, steady development of the
color consciousness q the American
people has led to an appreciation of fine
celebration and we learn that just red.
yellow or blue automobile is not suffi-
cient. It must be very pleasing shade
or tint of red, yellow or blue and fur
thermore the shade or tint of the base
color must harmonic with other colors
that may be used with it.
Cars built for sport or informal
use will never look stolid or stilted If
dark, subdued, multiplying colors are
avoided
COIOrs Have Characteristics.
All colors have individualistic char
acteristics. just as people differ from
one another Some blues are cold,
modest and retiring. Some greens are
business-like, crisp, fresh and lively.
Violet is sad, depressing. Certain reds
are active, warm, exciting colors. yell
low is a delicate, warm color, usually Of
high luminosity. It has long been re-
marked that the right colors judiciously
distributed in wearing apparel, enhance
the personality effect of the wearer and
provide appropriate atmosphere for the
occasion for which the costume was
designed The body lines and contour
effectiveness of an automobile are like
wise accentuated by a proper distribu-
ton of the correct cOlOringS
Certain greens and some reds COM
plement and enhance the appearance
of the blonde individual. Smart, stimu-
lating colors of high chroma contribute
an air of hamboyance to certain auto
mobile body types designed to achieve
| Just this effect. The work of the pres
| ent day automobile colorist compile
ments the creations of the design
engineer in achieving maximum effec-
tiveness for the model.
Open and closed Cars COntrasted.
Open-car models require an entirely
different color rendition than do closed
cars to heighten their effectiveness. In
| this connection MariS, brilliant, scin-
tillating, clear yellow green for the
body color with holdings and tenders
in sport green, dark, rich shade, to-
gether with wire wheels and stripe in
Bengal yellow will make an exceedingly
attractive roadster color scheme, from
the standpoint of vivacity and good
taste. Another interesting green open
car color combination includes body
and wire wheels in soft Cairo green
with holdings and tenders IN Mojave

mufler plates clog with carbon Of course
the back pressure increases.
One of the newer mufflers allows the
gas to 60 straight through without in
reference, but there are various pockets
arranged radially around the passage
way into which gases can expand. This
is the same principle used for a gun
Silencer.
Speaking of muf1iers reminds me of
the case of woman who drove her

semi-cutout in accordance with a vogue
at present among the younger set for
cars that bark little at the exhaust.
She could have switched to the full
muffler by operating suitable valve
from the driving compartment.

Hogs" and Jaywalkers Disciplined

on Prussian Highways.
BERLIN P).-Road hogs" jaywalk-
ers and other trespassers on public
highways in Prussia are treated with
scant tolerance by trafhc cops
Last year, in Prussia alone, more than
half of police prosecutions were for
traffic transgressions, awheel or afoot.
Police have orders to enforce strict
street discipline, and cases of fines in
htcted on offending Berlin pedestrians
last year were more than doubled COM
pared with the previous year. Some Of
them were allowed to be paid in INSTALL

Pointing out that adequate
Southern approaches to the
Arlington Memorial Bridge are eS-
sential to utilize this structure in
handling the flow of traffic into
Washington, the District of Colum-
bia Division of the American
Automobile Association has en-
listed it's support in behalf of leg
iSlation pending in Congress to
provide for a survey as to 1oca-
ton and probable cost of these
highways.
Edward s. BraShearS, chairman
of the committee on cooperation
with the National Park and Plan
ming Commission, declared that it
was the intention of the original
sponsors of this SIS 600, 900 memo
rial bridge across the Potomac to
have approaches connecting 1t
with traffic outlets to the South.
However" he continued, sex
listing legislation does not provide
for these approaches, and unless
some immediate steps are taken
the bicentennial celebration in
1892 will find this bridge across
the Potomac without it's maximum
value as an artery of travel. More
over, the thousands of visitors by
automobile will become enmeShed
in historic traffic jam, instead
of driving into the Capital in an
orderly way.
Under the pending legislation"
continued Mr.. BraShearS, which
has administration approval, the
Secretary of Agriculture is author
lied to use any available person.
mel, which includes the Bureau of
Public Roads, to handle all pre-
liminary details looking toward
the construction of the approaches.
When this survey is completed
the Secretary is authorized to con-
suit with the Commission of Fine
Arts and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
and report his recommendation
to Congress"
He continued:
THE State of Virginia, which
has been urged by the Govern
ment to speed up highway con-
struction, is ready to do its part
in building these approaches, but
has been forced to stop work. The
aid of the Government is essen
tial, due to the fact that the ap-
proaches must be built on Federal
owned land"

In the Motor World
BY q. ADAMS HOWARD.

Into the city in the morning, on
broad, superspeed highways, will
speed the city workman, and out
on those same great thorough
fares in the evening will he 60 in
his automobile to be with his fam
ily-out where there is room to
breathe: where cool Summer
breeZes are not choked in narrow
avenues, fianked by SkyScraperS;
where the air is not smoke and
SCOT laden, and where, even in
Winter, with all of the modern
comforts of the city, his home
amid the open fields is as snug
and cosy as any apartment in the
city.
City planners, who have be-
come more and more suburb plan
nerS, call this tendency to spread
out a great boon to the American
city of the future. They see in
the future a great f1attening out
of the cities, with most of the city
space devoted to the varied pur-
suit of the almighty dollar, and
the country space, where there Is
room for application of their ideas
Va bCduOA4lNdVLOIly convenience dAlN
efficient layout, a place where
better lives can be lived with the
dollars gained in the cities.
And they hail the automobile as
the instrument which makes all
this a probability.
The time nears for the facing of
the Mall triangle parking prob
lem. Cars already are crowding
about one of the new Government
buildings, and another of these
buildings is fast nearing compile
ton, with plans going forward as
rapidly as possible for erection Of
more of these buildings.
Just exactly what is to be done
with the vast number of automo-
biles that in a year or two will be
crowding into the triangle area
has not been definitely decided
with all concerned admitting that
the parking problem here is a
knotty one, with the triangle
problem having few extra knots

to predict that the days of down.

Geneva.

 The council decided that the le- port by Mile. Chaptal, who is presi- dent Of the international council Of nurses. should be published as soon ae the authors investigation in eight countries had been completed.
