CHICAGO, September 25.-Three
archaeological expeditions, probing the
beginnings of civilizations in Africa,
New Mexico and North Dakota, are
financed by Frank G. Logan, S0-year-
old dean of Chicago's grain trade.
Mr.. Logan's African expedition is

the fringe of the Sahara Desert. The
expedition in New Mexico is uncover
ing q civilization that may carry North
American history back at least to 1900

COLOR DISTRIBUTION
AIDS BALANCED EFFECT
rincipsl Tones in Furnishings
Should Dominate in Diffused and
Not Startling Way.

A most satisfactory arrangement for
a room may be secured by distributing
the color throughout the room instead
of massing 1t on one side or at one
end.
Using color in the draperies is one of
the chief means of introducing it into
the room, but If the windows are all
on one side or on just two sides, and
If there is very little color elsewhere in
the room, the appearance will be one
of SpottineSS and lack of balance.
In so far as it Is possible to have 1t
so, color should be used in equal pro-
portion on all sides of the ROOM This
is especially true of bright colorS.
The chief color or colorS OF the room
should predominant in a diffusive way,
which Is more pleasing than having
them startling.
The use of plain-color walls, of O
subdued shade of the dominant color of
the room, will help to distribute it
through the room, but care should be
taken that the color is, while neutral
not monotonouSly dull. 1t requires more
skill to furnish a room in which q fig
ured wall paper decorateS the wall, but
II the paper is wisely chosen and the
colors repeated discreetly throughout
the furnishings, a more artistic and
varied room picture is the result.

MANTEL FITTINGS
REQUIRE THOUGHT
Fireplace Group and Decora-
lions Most Conspicuous
Features of Room.

O NOT let the mantel become
an understudy to the what-not.
Usually the fireplace group and
the mantel decoration are the
most conspicuous features Of the room,
and for that reason should be given a
great deal Of thought.
OF course, the msntel itself will de-
termine TO a large extent the way 1t
"a decorated. There are mantelS and
mantels-everythin from the lovely ar
rangements in stone and wood to the
bIlious-looking little green tiles and a
Rkimpy, unattrsctively finished or over
ornate shelf.
Overcome Bad Features.
Usually little change can be made in
thu mantel itself, and II it Is not de-
sirable one it must be put up with and
its difficulties overcome as much as pos
sible by the decoration used with 1t.
Tiles that are Just too terrible"
NAV be painted. Artists tube paints
will stick TO anything and the offending
tiles may be covered with this. Other
Objectionable features of the mantel
must be counteracted by the right kind
Of ornaments.
mot too much" is the answer to all
the questions regal ding what and how
many to use on the mantel. Objects
placed on the mantel should number
three, five or seven, to admit of correct
balance and pleasing appearance. They
should be selected with care, and If as
many as seven are used they should be
grouped so aS not to give cluttered
appearance.
Over-Mantel Pictures.
The space above the mantel shelf
calls for treatment. It offers an excel
lent place for a picture-a portrait,
marine or a landscape-but 1t should
be a good picture You will see it often,
and If it is not a Joy to look on you
will grow very tired of 1t. A mirror of
suitable proportions may be hung above
the mantel. Sometimes tapestry finds
Q place there. Whatever is used, 1t
should be of quality and character.
Occasionally the objects on the mantel
shelf are of sufficient size and impor-
lance to take the place of overmantel
decoration.
One especially attractive mantel has
for its decoration two tall brass candle
sticks holding dark red candles. These
flank a picture framed in dull gold, OF
suitable size and shape, in which there
Is some red hung on the wall above the
mantel shelf On either end of the
mantel are lockwood vases of dull
browns, reds and orange. These vases
are not so high as the candlesticks and
behind them, leaning against the wall,
are pottery plates in the same colorS.
BY Incorporating the picture above the
mantel into the scheme of decoration
Of the mantel shelf, balance and SYM
metry are introduced into what would
otherwise be an uninteresting group.
