Designs of
Wide Range
ON Market
BY JULIA BLANSHARD
SEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The walls
of our homes are likely to grow so
phistieated this fall. It Is part OF
the general trend toward subtlety
and elegance.
Wall paper is in again and the
plainly painted wall will seem dis
tressingly obvious compared TO the
allure Of one dressed in the new and
beautifully designed papers.
New papers specialize in types
There are papers for the bachelor
apartment, the small home hall
way, the nursery. the colonial liy-
ing room, the old-fashioned home,
the modernistic apartment.
In colors, designs and atmosphere
these new wall papers recognize
their responsibility TO reflect the at
mcsphere Of the room they decorate
CoIors Are Subtle
Suaye designs, subtle color and
the possibility Of a tremendous
variety Of effects are outstanding
style points in the new paper
And, good news to the houSeN lie,
most of them are washablel They
do not. I might add, look it. For
none of them have that oilcloth
shininess that makes you think OF
kitchens and bathrooms and never
of a drawing room.
These new washable papers are
dull-surfaced, and unless some che
told you. you would never dream
their delicate patterns would vel
come soap and water.
There are two main trends IN the
new designs. One is toward scenics
and the other toward the modern
istic.
Picture Range Is Wide
The SCENES picture everything in
the world from japanese gardens to
girls faces in such profusion as a
high school boy might draw on his
plain walls
One of these is called charm
girls" in which girls heads, of many
different types and poses, are in
terspersed with detached motifs Of
braceleted arms and hands.
Colonial mansions, bareback
riders. covered wagon scenes, In
dian encampments, pirate ships,
Waiting Colonial figures, children
dancing and playing, flowers in
moderniStic Interpretation, all are
TO be found as fascinating patterns
for new papers.
HueS Are Appealing
The combination of colors used
is one of the most appealing points
of the new papers. The primary
colors, the old garish red, blues and
yellows of our childhood are grown
sophisticate.
Rust reds, wines, all the pleasing
nuanceS are there, but none of that
red that hurts the eye.
Backgrounds of heige and soft
gray have the most delicate
tracerieS - flowers, modernistically
interpreted-in such subtle COM
bination as soft blue, pastel green,
a touch of orange-red.
Many of the designs are repro
auctions of hand-prints and bear
that charming irregularity of hand
work which makes it so easy to gaze
upon.

 two metal doors and a wooden

There is no corporal punishment.
 Upon occasion. men in sol- tary have been handcuffed to the doors Of the cells. Usually one hand is free Handcuffing is resorted to in unusual cases, but in no circumstances is the prlsonel, so manacled that he is obliged to stand in an un- natural position,

 "FOrmer Warden Scott issued a specific order, which is now a matter Of record, forbiddinG the shaCkling Of any prisoner except on order Of the Warden. Warden Reed has relssued this identical order. There is no req son to believe that it has in any respect been violated.

"The subject matter of this report naturally groups itself under three heads:
 Part l deals with allegations of illegal, abusive and brutal conduct in connection with the treatment of prisoners;
 Part II deals generally with con- ditions at the prison as they now exist:
 Part III deals with recommenda- tions for the improvement of con- ditions at the State Prison.
