VTtTHETHER you have led
wv such an interesting life
V ' that you decide to write
your memoirs or simply must an
swer that letter to Aunt Min. there
is a certain feeling of poise and
satisfaction that comes when you
sit down at a weli-appoiuted desk.
You become, on the instant. per
son of affairs. You recollect that
you have friends. that there are
events df importance in your life
that must be narrated to others
and that the business notes which
remain to be written indicate your
part in busy existence. This nice
satisfied feeling Of belonging" is
enhanced If your desk, itself. has
distinction and is graccd with
charming writing accessories, Pen
and paper casually tucked away in
a table drawer to be brought out
and used on the arm of a chair or
some other irregular writing place
can never supplant the pleasure
that you feel in a desk. In addition
to its convenience, a desk is as
decorative a piece of furniture as
you can find.
Unpainted desks of every type
can be purchased and finished with
paint or given natural wood fin

makes them weatherproof. Ex-
terror iron work will soon gather
unsightly scales OF rust unless it
is protected with paint. Cast iror
figures used outdoors should FIRST
be primcd with metal paint and
then given at least two coats of
house paint or Of spar varnish.
Wrought iron is less susceptible
to rust and therefore needs less
protection. A coat of house paint
or one of spar varnish will be suf-
fcient in this case.
The majority Of these iron orna-
ments are already finished when
they are bought, but yearly re-
newal Of the top coat of paint is
necessary. If neglected and allowed
10 rust. the rust should be removed
with a wire brush before the paint
ing is done and the iron given
metal primer as well as several fin
isling coats of good quality paint
or varnish.
Black or grcIn are usually the
best colors for these iron figures,
although dull red and Holland
blue are sometimes used. A novel
finish is obtained by using an un-.
dercoat of red lead or zinc dust
and finishing coats of spar varnsh
colored with the paint.

CLARKSYILLE

/ About IOrty young people, together
with the five teachers of the young
/ peoples classes, were present at the
business meeting and social held at
st. Georges church ON the evening
of Feb. 4th. Miss Lindseth presided
at the meeting, which was for tic
purpose of hearing the plans for or
ganization drawn up at a previous
meeting of representatives from each
of the five young peoples classes. At.
ter Miss Lindseth explained the plan
of organization, and after hearing the
report of tile nominating committee,
the young people elected the follow
ing as their young peoples council
or cabinet:
Adult counsellor, Mr., Raymond
Vest president, Edwin West: Sacre-
tary and treasurer, Dale Murray;
representatives from the various
classes: Norman West, Grace Clogg,
Gladys Murray. Blanche Hudson.
The group chose the name Tuxis-
Department. Each letter in Tuxis
represents a special meaning The
middle letter is not X but Chi, the
first letter of the Greek word Chris
tos, meaning Christ In the word
Tuxis, it means a program with
Christ at the center The U and the

that our program is one of fellow

TuXis thus means "A program in

ice, with Christ as our leader and
our inspiration" The third Wednes-
day in the month has been chosen as
the regular meeting night for busi-
ness and recreation. LaMonte Har- |

it may be made to conform to the

painted, it can provide a harmoni-

Paint Children's Closets
BY HELEN B. AMES

Of various sizes, accessories such
as child-size hangers. shoe boxes,
hat stands and dress bags - all
these will make an excursion into
the closet a dramatic event. If the
closet is deep and caycrnous, paint
ing the walls sunny yellow will
make il light enough for the child
who fears The dark. The general
color scheme, however, should re-
peat that of the room, so that when
the door is open it will seem like
continuation. And the door itself
can be ornamehted on the closet
side with an appealing stencil de-
sign or with a center panel of
shellacked cretonnc.
OF course no closet should be so
crowded with fussy fixtures and
accessories that it is hard to clean.
In charming the child into orderly
habits, the mother should not make
extra work for herself. Fluted TRIM
ming on the shelves is a dust
catcher. but painted edges Of bright
color are easily wiped off with
damp cloth. Hangers and boxes,
too, are easier to care for when
they are painted instead of being
covered with paper or cloth.

Floral Motifs Reign
Spring Silk Designs

Printed spring silks suggest ro-
nance; they have freshness, lowell
ness of color and design, informs
the Household Magazine in its F'eb-
ruary issue. Floral designs both
large and small, buds, and leaf MOS
tifs, dominate the prints. Sheer
printed fabrics, especially chiffon,
are featured in large floral patterns
Much of the beauty is due to coll
or effects. Subtle groupings Of sev-
eral pastel tones combined with a
rich dark background, and bright
cOlored motifs set on a jet black or
other dark ground promise a season
of interest and pleasing inspiration.
Solid cOlors, continues the House
hold in its fashion preview, will also
be in evidence in spring fashions.
The vogue for ornaments continues
and plain-colored fabrics make fit
ting backgrounds for these. Then,
too, plain colors are always in de-
mand for developing the formal or
evening dress. They are indespen-
sable for suit combinations.
Flat cropes will lead in spring
fabrics. They are practical, fashion
well, and have variety Shantllng
will be favorite for sports, geor-
gette and chiffon for evening. There
is a new freshness in the green
family. There are blues with a pur-
pie cast, a bright red, and deep
rich brown; also silver grey. A
generous variety of pastels is
available for the evening dress and
for the sports costume.

EMOTIONAL CAUSES PRO-
DUCE PHYSICAL EFFECTS
BY Charles E. Kiely, NJ. D.
Cincinnati, Ohio


The doctor many times finds. that
nervous indigestion is really a
stomach ulcer or that heart dis
case" is merely rapidity of the pulse
produced by gambling on the stock
market or trying TO live beyond
ones means. .
Just as the patient of today knows
his doctor can detect his organic
diseases, so he has come to know
that this same doctor can recognize
that disordered action of organs is
not always due to physical damage,
but to emotional stress or strain.
A man named Pavlow showed that
anger makes a dog produce a diges-
tive juice of plainly abnormal char
acter. If any human being has for
years been subjected to domestic. or
business troubles, it is not unreas-
enable to suppose that chemical
changes in his stomach will occur
which will impair his digestion.
Everyone knows that fear will
cause the blood pressure to rise.
Worry, after all, is a small dose of
fear taken continuously over per-
iod of time, and so some cases of
high blood pressure are found that
are due solely to years of poison
ing with fear. Infected teeth are not
the only agents that can do your
blood vessels great harml Continued
anxiety belongs well up on the head
of the list.
The thyroid gland, the goitre
center is especially concerned with
the fear emotion. Cretins, or per-
Milford chronicle., 1931-02-13

sons with defective or absent@thy-
roid, are dull and almost devoid of
fear and other emotions. Likewise,
persons with too much thyroid suf-
fer particularly from fear Trihes
become magnilied and sometimes
the sufferer cannot really tell what
he is fearing Many people who go
to the doctor complaining of Ier-
vous fear, find they are in the early
stages of goitre trouble
Z. The emotions also have effects on
the muscles Hysteriacs complain of
lump in the throat The X-ray has
shown this. to be due to a real spasm
Of the. throat muscles. Everyone has
experienced this Tightening Of the
throat at a funeral. The hysteriac
really has had his grief in small
doses over a period of years.
Tightening of the muscles fur
ther down in the digestive tract
causes nervous" constipation, or
when emotions produce an opposite
effect, you have nervous" diarrhea.
A man who suffered from severe
diarrhea for months recovered from
the condition in three days when a
physician in whom he had conf
dence succeeded in convincing him
he had not contracted tuberculosis
from his wife.
So, do not hesitate to see your
doctor simply because you think
your trouble might not be organic.
The physician of today not only
finds your infammations, your ul-
GERS, your hardenings, and your
leaks; but he also finds that abnor-
NAL action may be due to emotional
stress under which you have un-
wisely placed yourself, or unkind
fate has forced upon you. Let it be
the physicians task to separate the
organic cause from the emotional,
and start you out anew.
