their appropriate and unusual plac-

Fain was headed for his home in

promptly reported to the Calexico
police department, then to the sher-
ifs office, then tried to return to
Mexicali to get his car. The line
was closed.
This morning Fain crossed the
line to look for his car. He could
not find it. So, having already re-
ported to Calexico police and the
sheriff's office, he came TO Ell Gen.
tro police to report his automobile
stolen.
He did not know, said Fain, to
whom the car he had taken be-
lenged. II had not been reported
stolen. He told Mexicali police of
the occurrence, and they advised
him to leave the other car with
them. Fain did so, and continued
the search for his automobile.

REPORT SHOWS
CLTY'S HEALT H
RECORD IS GOOD

No major epidemles occurred ir
! Ell Centro between October l ano
June l, according to a report SUBJ
mitted by DR.. Warren F. Fox, city
health officer, immunization cam
paigns in several instances prevent
ing epidemics.
Communicable diseases, not in
cluding pneumonia and influenza
were low during the past year and
reports Dr. Fox. the health program
was greatly aided by the cooperation
OF the health nurse. The school
permit system instituted this year
was an aid in controlling communi-
cable diseases. Diphtheria i'm
munization work in the school and
at the office of the health depart
ment resulted in 419 school children
and 10 pre-school children being
protected against this disease. Ty-
phoid immunization was given TO
some local residents free OF charge,
the vaccine being furnished free By
the state.
Thirty-one cases were quaran-
tined in FL Centro. including cases
of diphtheria, scarlet fever and
meningitis.
The California State Department
Of Public Health, Bureau of Child
Hygiene, cooperated with the local
department by sending DR.. E. L.
Hainsworth, child specialist, to I'm
perial Valley for two DAYS each
month to conduct child hygiene
, conferences. This service is in
stituted to reach the young mother
in an advisory capacity and aid in
the normal development of the well
child. Eighty-three children were
examined at the Americanization
cottage.
Publicity Helps
Weekly health bulletins were is
sued beginning in December of last
year, approximately 5000 copies
being distributed in the county or
March 7. The distribution in E.
Centro is relatively large.
/ Personal and public health SUBJ
jects were discussed over the radio
every Sunday night by the health
officer, who also spoke before vari.
/ Gus organizations and arranged fol
the publication OF public health
news items in valley newspapers.
During the winter, Isl nursing
visits were made TO homes where
communicable diseases existed anc
81 home visits were made by tbs
health officer. Numerous schoo
children were examined and dag.
nosis made of various minor com.
I municable diseases.
The rabies situation was serious
but is believed to be improving ra
pidly since passage Of the ordinances
to aid prevention Of the' spread o
1the disease.

Ceilings are the lightest value, with
the walls somewhere between the
two.
The differences should not be
too extreme, however. A bedroom
may be decorated entirely in light
values. and a living room may pre-
sent an equally agreeable harmony
in dark or medium values. but the
opposite extremes can rarely be
combined in a single room. A num-
ber of different colors may be
combined in a single room, pro-
vided they do not vary greatly in
tone or value.
When several rooms are thrown
together by wide openings. the
problem becomes a trifle more
complex. Occasionally it is advis-
able to decorate two very small
rooms precisely alike to produce an
effect of spaciousness, but in
larger rooms such treatment will
prove monotonous. The question,
then is how variety may be intro
duced without destroying the sense
of unity or relationship which is to
repeat in each room one or more
colcIS from the rooms adjoining,
at the same time adding others
not elsewhere prominently dis
played"

Home FURNISHING

ENTIRE FA MILY

Editors Note: This is the last
OF three articles on the principles
OF home furnishings written for
the Press by Miss Florence Glenn
home demonstration agent.
The Distribution of Colors in the
Room: When a suitable color
scheme has been secured, the ques-
ton arises OF how to distribute the
various eolors through the room.
A very simple rule will help TO
solve the problem; namely. that
the larger the surface area, the
more neutral should be the color;
and, conversely, that the smaller
the surface area, the more positive
and intense the colors.
In its concrete application, this
simply means that the largest sur
faces in the room-the walls, floor,
and ceiling-should in general be
decorated in neutral colors or hues
OF low intensity, such as grey, gray
ish tan. gray-green or cream. The
reason is that objects placed against
a neutral background are seen in
at their full value and intensity,
whereas when viewed against
background of vivid and positive
color, their effectiveness IS utterly
destroyed. For furniture, pictures,
and hangings to look their best,
therefore, the ceilings. walls, and
floors including rugs-must be kept
as unobstrusive as possible.
"A partial exception to this rule
may sometimes be made in halls
and dining rooms where the furni-
ture is Of dark, natural woods and
the walls are devoid of pictures.
In such cases, the walls themselves
may be made the chief center of
interest and treated accordingly.
Next above the background in
intensity comes the furniture,
little stronger and more positive in
color than the walls, and at the
top of the scale are the small decor
ative accessories glass. pottery,
lamp shades, sofa pillows, and the
ike-which impart life, sparkle,
and vivacity to the room. The
spots of color which they create
are called accents and much of the
charm of an interior is the result
of their skilful management.
Importance of Values: The ques-
tion of values-or degrees of light
and dark-is fully as important as
that of intensity. Floors. which
are the foundation of the room.
should be the darkest in value in
order to give sense Of stability.

QUAKER STATE
UpH0LDS WORTH
OF NEWSPAPER

The dramatic story OF the vi
cious character of Mr.. Water-Thin'
which is presented in the Quaker
State Motor Oil newspaper adver-
tisements this year, is undoubtedly
creating more attention with re-
Sulting increase in sales for this
100 per cent pure Pennsylvania
motor oil than any other type of
advertising ever undertaken by
our firm" states J. E. Mccormick,
vice president and general man.
ager OF the Quaker State Oil Re-
filming Company Of California.
The long famous Quaker State
slogan There's an extra quart of
fabrication in every gallon is illus
trated by a lank, lazy human char
acter in this series of advertise
ments, and the story of how the
exclusive Quaker State supre- -refin-
ing process eliminates Mr.. Water
Thin'-that quart of thin, watery,
useless oil found in every gallon of
ordinary motor oils, is told in
quickly understandable language.
Newspapers play the major part
in the advertising plan for the en-
tire year. stated Mccormick. They
adapt themselves unusually well to
the use of the striking illustrations
and the brief but pointed story Of
Mr.. Water-Thin' and his injurious
practice when he is allowed to
creep into the crankcase of motor
cars. The fact that by showing
how Quaker State entirely elm
mates this lazy, useless fellow this
motor Oil is growing in popularity
and sales faster than any other
Pennsylvania motor oil, is conclus-
i've proof that the choice of news
papers as the medium to carry this
interesting story to the motoring
public is sound"
