There are more reasons than one
for painting your home, inside and
out, at this time of year. An attrac-
tive appearance, with its effect on
the family disposition, is good one.
But you'll save yourself work when it
comes to keeping your home clean. If
you use a good fiat paint for walls
and ceiling. and lacquer or enamel
for woodwork, you'll make short shrift
of housework All you need do to
keep well-painted surfaces spotless

damp Cloth.
There's nothing that so enlivens a

legal advice. Our board OF directors
has given the most careful consid-
Grafton to this question as s2.OO0.-
100000 building program deserves
and has secured the services of
Messrs. Donald H. McNeal and Pierre
Blouke. who are eminently qualified
to lay out this program and to select
the paid personnel for supervision. If
this paid personnel in turn makes a
list Of approved architects and ap-
proved contractors and insists that
all of the detail work be done on a
professional fee basis by professional
architects, the home owners will get
creditable jobs in which they will take
pride and at reasonable cost and
the corporation will point with pride
to the modernized homes which it is
financing. Such course Will give the
corporation its greatest protection
against the we'll know. danger of
graft and inefficiency which have
ever been the pitfalls of all public,
semi-public and private building. And
if it is done by this means, l hope
to have book of the best 10000 jobs
in the United States and it would
make me very happy if these best
jobs sometimes carried picture Of
the family to occupy these modern
lied homes.
Work Below Cost.
I'm the legal profession, we are
doing some work at less than cost. In
the profession of architecture, some of
the smaller jobs would pay SO small a
fee that the architect would probably
take a loss. However, if the archi-
tects will cooperate in this program
on a reasonable fee basis, it appears
that reasonable compensation ought
to be realized. And if demonstra-
ton is made. the architects will be
employed on more and more small
houses and the business can be made
profitable"

sense color, through some un-

to the blind. inspires sations
of happiness or depression, vitality or
drabness. Helen Keller, whose life
has been lived in darkness, once said,
Green is the way my garden smells.
Blue Is the curve of the sky above

This is the time of year to refur-
biSh the Winter-Weary rooms, to take
up natures Springtime challenge as
she fiaunts her yellows and greens.
It's really quite simple to give your
rooms more clean-cut, vivid appear
ance without starting color war be-
tween your present furnishings and
a new wall tint. For instance, If
your living room furniture and drapes
are brown or taupe set against
background of dull buff walls. inten-
sify the wall coloring by making it
subdued lemon yellow. 1t will reviv-
ify your room.
The woodwork, by the way. should
be a very definite part of your color
scheme. So frequently this important
part of a room is given no more hon.
ored function than that of holding
up the plaster. It's really the frame
of the picture you make OF each
room. A soft ivory gives freshness to
almost any color pattern you may
choose for walls and ceiling. Many
modern homes are going in for col
ored woodwork-a soft blue, with
French gray walls. Or subdued
green with creamy buff walls.
| A well-known interior decorator
scouts the widespread feeling that a
color scheme" means only two col
ors. It's the third color she claims,
that makes all the difference between
an interesting and an uninteresting
room. There are so many easy ways
| in which a spot of color here, dash
/ there, can transform an impersonal
place into a vivid and smart room-a
room whose keynote is life and bright
ness. A colorfully painted cigarette
