COLOR in DAILY LIFE
AND BUSIN E S S
BY WILLIAM PORTER
Interior Decorator

By the judicious use Of color in
Interior Decorating we are able
TO increase or diminish the APP
parent size of a room, raise or
lower the apparent height of a
ceiling.
A small dark room may be APP
parently increased in size by us
ing a light tint, however if the
small room already has an abund-
ance of light, the light tint should
be softened.
A large room can stand dark
or color provided however the
room is well lighted and the APP
parent size may be reduced by
the use of several colors, A high
ceiling may be lowered by ex-
tending the ceiling color the pro-
per distance down on the side
wall forming a frieze, also a dado
IN related color may be used on
the sidewall coming up distance
of thirty six inches or more from
the floor.
Generally considered, rooms
having a southern or western ex-
posture or subject TO glare of di-
rect sunlight should be decorated
in cool colors while rooms with
northern exposure or subject TO
little light should be decorated in
warm tints.
The color scheme Of a room
should begin with the deepest
note of the color at the floor
where the most natural light falls,
and should gradually ascend to
the ceiling, which receives the
least natural light and therefore
should be treated in the lightest
tint Of the entire ensemble.
To give personality to colors
may be too idealistic, but we like
to think Of them as individuals
with whom we come in contact.
pThere are the colors that are
friends, colors that speak in plain
terms and are easy to understand.
On the other hand there are
those we meet but do and cannot
understand. The latter might be
classified as cold and distant or
busness-likc, while the former
could be described as warm or
cordial--persons who by their
very presence make everything
seem interesting and worth while
Some folks feel the same way
about flowers and are just a,
happy and contented in their pre-
sence as they are in the presence
of friendly persons. OF cours
color is really at the base of j
all, for the modes of both tn
flowers and the persons who low
thcm so much, change with II
change in shades and tints; an
finally when all color is gone,
situation analogous 30 desolatio
ensues.
Too much stress cannot be plac
ed upon the fact that, if yot
would succeed in business
especially if you maintain a bust
ness establishment, be it a shoe
repair shop, garage, beauty shop,
grocery, restaurant or whatever
may be your line Of endeavor-do
not ignore the fact that the judi
cious use of color is one of your
greatest assets. If Kressge, Wool
worth, Kroger, Standard Oil,
White Star, Sun Oil, and other
mercantile and industrial cor
porations as well as thousands Of
bright snappy retail stores and
shops, realize the part that color
plays in the making Of their sue
cess, surely you cannot ignore the
fact that money spent in this way
is really not spent but invested
in a way that will pay TO you
dividends many fold.

ZIMMERMAN WAITS
APPELLATE COURT
Extradition Delayed Until De-
Cision Is Made of Valid
ity of Indictment.

The extradition to Illinois Of Frank
Zimmerman, 20, on charge OF bank
robbery must await decision of the
District Court Of Appeals as to the
validity of the indictment pending
against him.
The extradition was ordered in Dis
trict Supreme Court Monday, but coun-
sci for the alleged bank robber applied
for q writ of habeas corpus. thus delay
ing his removal. Justice Joseph w. Cox
refused today to grant the writ and
Zimmerman's attorneys, Charles E. Ford
and E. Russell Kelly, Immediately signl-
fed their intention Of carrying the case
to the Court of Appeals. This means
Zimmerman cannot be released to the
Illinois authorities in any event before
October or November.
The accused man was remanded to
the District Jail to await adjudication OF
his case. The Illinois indictment
charges him with being one Of gang
of five which robbed bank in Streator,
Ill, of $50, 900 a year ago. His attorneys
contended this indictment was defective,
and based their case for writ of habeas
corpus on this point. Assistant United
States Attorney Charles Murray con-
tended, however, the indictment showed
Zimmerman was accused of an extra
ditable offense regardless Of any alleged
technical imperfection.
Sheriff E. j. Welton, who came here
with two deputies in an armored car to
take the prisoner back, announced he
would return to Illinois until the ap-
peal had been settled.

TAXI MEN TO MEET
TODRAFT CAB CODE
Representatives to Convene
in New York to Iron 0ut
Controversies.

Representatives of various taXicab
companies of the United States are to
meet in New York in the near future
in an attempt to reach an agreement
over controversial issues which have
been encountered in the drafting of a
proposed taxicab code for submission to
the National Recovery Administration.
It was revealed today that there are
several important points at issue, at
least so far as Washington interests are
concerned in the proposed code.
A tentative code proposal was ap-
proved by various taxicab ownership
interests at meeting here last week
at the United States Chamber OF Com
merce, but, it was revealed today, GER
tain local interests are in direct oppo-
sition to some phases OF the proposed
code.
The suggested code calls for ma
tional requirement for the use of taxi
meters, for a specific design for taxi
cabs and for prohibition of the rental
of cabs to drivers or sale to them on
conditional agreements
Albert w. Jacobson, attorney for the
City Cab Co., said today he was op-
posed to these rules. He holds that
such specific matters should be left to
local regulations where there Is a con-
trolling body, such as the Public Utili-
ties Commission. Mr. jacobson said,
however, he was in favor of the general
idea of the adoption of a code for the
taxi industry.
A taxicab code for the District is con-
fronted with certain complications since
Congress has decreed that the Public
Utilities Commission may not use any
of its appropriations for the enforce
ment of an order requiring the use OF
taxi meters until Congress has approved
the rates to be charged hereunder.

1900 ILLEGAL SIGNS
REMOVED BY DRIVE
Months Results Chiefly Concern
Small Advertising Cards in
Windows.

The drive launched about a month
ago by District officials against vio-
lators of the new and stringent sign
regulations has brought about removal
of approximately 1000 illegal signs, it
was revealed today.
An official of the building inspectors S
Office. In direct charge of the enforce
ment program, explained that most of
these illegal signs were small adver-
Using placards which merchants Lad
placed ir their show windows It vas
pointed out that the new sign code
requires that a license be obtained for
all signs greater than one square foot
III area Il they are placed where visible
from public streets.
When the drive was started Capt
Hugh H. Dram, director of inspection,
declared the regulations were being
violated in a wholesale manner, and he
called upon both the building inspectors
and the police to aid in the campaign.
Violations are discerned when signs fail
to bear a license number In many
cases, merchants have taken down signs
of small size rather than pay the Ii
cense fee.
Ten of the Districts building in
spectors are on the lookout for sign
regulation violations as they travel
about town in pursuance of their other
duties.

Consolidation Moves Step
Closer as Committees
Discuss Details.
UNIFICATION PROGRAM
ALREADY is APPROVED
Capital Structure Framing Report
ed Virtually Completed in
Past Few Days.

The long-sought street car consolida-
ton took another step toward consum-
nation today as special merger commit
tees of the Washington Railway & Elec-
trio Co. and Capital Traction Co. met
jointly in the Potomac Electric Power
Co. building to pass upon the details
OF the financial set-up of the new COM
pany that will operate the unified lines.
Stockholders Of the two companies
already have approved the general plan
Of unif1cation and as soon as they in
dorse the proposed financial structure
OF the new company the merger will
virtually be consummated. Approval of
the financial details by the Public Util-
tiles Commission will then be the final
step.
Details Virtually Complete.
The Merger Committees of the two
companies, for more than a month,
have struggled with the intricate prob
lens involving the financial set-up of
the consolidated company, and virtually
completed the details in the last sew
eral days. The committees worked day
and night in an effort to frame capi-
tai structure that would be acceptable
to the stockholders of both companies.
The serious financial condition Of the
two companies, resulting from contin-
uous loss in revenue, virtually assures
approval of the financial agreement by
the stockholders.
The financial details, not only in
volve the fair price" to be paid by
the merged company for the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Co., but such i'm
portant provisions as the number of
shares of capital stock of the new COM
pany to be issued to stockholders of
the Capital Traction and Washington
Railway g. Electric Cos. The amount
of bonded Indebtedness to be assured
by the new company was another major
detail.

Under provisions of the merger reSo-
luton adopted by Congress. the con-
acquire the bus company and merge it
with the traction concerns. The reso-
luton did not fix definite price, but
merely stipulated that the purchase
price should be based on fair value. ~
Determination of fair value was left
to the consolidated company. subject
to approval of the utilities commission
The commission never placed fair
value" on the bus company. but un-
officially the figure was estimated al
100000. The original merger agree
ment, drawn up some years ago, would
have given Harley P. Wilson, owner OF
the bus company, approximately ST.
100000 for the concern. This price
constituted one of the objections to
the original plan, because the bus COM
pany, since Wilson has owned it, has
never come out of the red"

JOHNSON DECLARES
TWISTED
Administrator Says Cloak and Suit
Code Is O. K.-Emblem
Publicity Desired.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Hugh S. johnson, national recovery
administrator, yesterday issued a state
ment to straighten out what he said
we're neutrality-suspicious." Of recent
comments he had made.
The statement follows:
The other day I said, referring to
the efforts to arrive at a code for the
cloak and suit industry, that it was
one of the worst babies there is
To-day I have received several mes
sages twisting that utterance into a
declaration that the code is unsatis-
tory. On the contrary, despite the diff
flculties Of arranging it, the code is
all right.
Another misinterpretation is in re-
lation to a noice warning people against
racketeers who are attempting to get
people using the Blue Eagle to pay for
inclusion in a so-called roll OF honor
Some people have construed this as
preventing newspapers from selling ad-
vertising space for the announcements
of Blue Eagle firms and individuals.
THAT is an absurdity. The N. r. A.
wants all publicity given to the use
of the emblem and. obviously. there
are no strings on the newspapers as
to the form, shape. size or character
of their ads so long as the advertisers
are bona fide members of the Blue
Eagle Fraternity"
