BACK GROUND IS
IMPORTANT IN
'35 BEDROOMS
lightneSS and Brightness
Win -Four Stars for
Sleeping Quarters.

The 1885 bedrooms rate foul
starsl With their lightness anC
brightness, the simple grace of their
furniture and their sophisticated
employment Of Just the right dec
Orative detail. this years bedrooms
embody present-day decorative
ideas at their best.
It does not seem to matter much
which Of the currently popular fur
niture styles the decorator uses &c
get his effect. The secret seems to
lies in his treatment Of backgrounds
his use Of light-colored accessories
and his strict exclusion of ex-
traneous ideas. The smooth per-
lection of the new bedroom makes
the beruffled and bechintzed boudOiI
of a few years back look as inept
as an outmoded motor car.
The simplicity of the modern bed
rooms would approach austerity II
1t were not for their textures and
heavenly colors. Turqoise and rob
ms egg blue and a dulled robins
egg called sea blue are favorites
as are yellow and tangerine and
coral. All Of these tones are used
IN conjunction with large surfaces
of neutral white, buff and gray.
Rip Peach Popular
One lees again and again that
most luscious Of tints, ripe peach
(pinke.' and deeper than regular
peach) The range of colors with
which ripe peach is combined sue
Cessfully is amazing. 1t includes
besides all the neutrals, brown
black, yellow. orchid, green, blue
and especially the whole gamut Of
green blues.
One lovely room, easy to copy,
had ripe peach walls, buff modern
furniture, a brown carpet and a
single brown silk drape hung across
the window and looped high at one
side. Glass curtains were white
and the bedspread was simply fash
toned Of the same sheer fabric over
ripe peach. Twin flower pictures
painted on mirrors, above the bed,
contributed the sparkle character
istic of modern rooms.
The one departure from the rule
of simplicity was observed in the
frequent use of elaborate window
treatments In a room with pale
yellow walls and white furniture
the window was hung with glazed
chintz patterned boldly in gray,
white and a touch of lemon yellow
on a tangerine ground.
FrOthy Window Delightful
A five-inch pleating of white
glazed chintz was joined to the
Grapes with a tiny yellow piping.
Two rows of pleating joined with
the yellow piping constituted the
valance. The two glass curtains
were white. edged with a flve-inch
gathered ruffle and hung straight,
following the lines of the Grapes. A
white modern chair stood out in re-
lief before one of the Grapes.
A delightful frothy window treat
ment. which could be achieved
without difficulty, had been evolved
in another room from three pairs
of ready-made dotted and vide
ruffled curtains The pair next to
the window fell straight; over it
was hung the second pair which was
Topped up on either side in the
usual place: the third pair was
hung over the second and caught
back about half way between the
looping of the second curtains and
the top of the window.
Three ripe peach drapery cords
with moss ball ends across the top
of the curtains, giving the treat
mert a look of finish.

Signatures Feature
Exhibit In Hartford
Manuscripts Of Prominent State People in Last 800
Years on Display as Tercentenary Offering

The signatures of most Of the
persons prominent In all walks OF
Connecticut's 400 years Of life from
the days Of Thomas Hooker to
Mark Twain may be seen as ascrib-
ed to manuscripts Of Connecticut

the famous Charter Oak" Charter,
on exhibition during the month OF
August at the Connecticut Histor-
ical society In Hartford.
OF the many manuscripts in this
Tercentenary exhibit offered joint

century ago as lining material for

further confirmation Of happenings

Jews Of Connecticut
Protest Nazi Purge
Local Delegation to Attend Mass Meeting in New
Haven Tomorrow Afternoon at Hotel Taft

A delegation which will include
many Of the city's most prominent
Jewish citizens will attend the
mass meeting of Jews from all
sections Of Connecticut tomorrow
afternoon at the Hotel Taft at
which it is expected that formal
resolutions protesting the race per-
secution in Germany will be form
ulated for presentation to Congress
The meeting has been called by
Lyman Jacobs, president of the
Connecticut section Of the Ameri-
can Jewish congress and will begin
at o'clock.
Recent developments in Ger
many have led to the belief that
another "blood purge" similar to
that Of year ago is being plan
ned. Growing resentment among
Jews throughout the country over
the treatment of the race in Ger
many has reulted in gatherings of
protesting groups in many cities
during the past few weeks. The
meeting at New Haven tomorrow
will be the first Of its kind to be
held in Connecticut.
Congressman Invited
Among those invited to speak
before the group are Congressman
James A. Stanley Of New Haven
and Congressman-at-Large Will
liam c. Citron of Middletown.
Besides the expected adoption Of
the resolution 1t has been indicated
that efforts will be made to have
the federal government, through
the national cooperation of Jewish
groups, formally protest to the
German government through dip
lomatic channels.
It is also considered probable
that action will be taken upon the
Nazi selection of athletes for the
Olympic games. Oficials Of the
German government have an
nounced that Jewish athletes were
not excluded through racial dis
tinction but through the regular
course of athletic competition.

X-RAY TO WORK
Practical Use of Penetrat-
ing Rays in Profession
Proving a Success

Cincinnati, o. - (UP)-A new
and more successful method OF
developing X-ray films used in
engineering has been perfected in
the University of Cincinnati lab
oratories.
Use of X-ray in surgery is COM
paratively old, but practical use
OF the penetrating rays in engi-
neering is new. They are valuable
in discovering flaws in castings
and !mperfections in Yields in the
metal industries.
The new developing process, de-
signed by George Edward Schaet-
eel of Alhambra, Cal, and Herbert
Carl Schweikart, Jr., of Kissim-
NEE, Fla. engineering graduates
of the university, is an improve
ment over developing by hand
because it provides for complete
temperature control, accurately
timing and elimination Of light.
Exposures must be made for
several hours to take X-ray photo
graphs through metals" Prof.
Bradley Jones, head of the univer-
sity's aeronautical engineering de-
partment, said. "The Aim must
be unusually sensitive. Due to
this extreme sensitivity, plates OF
films must be developed under
conditions which frequently lead
to unsatisfactory results.
"The new method is completely
automatic and gives 100 per cent
assurance of satisfactory results"
An electric developing machine
provides for six processes COM
monty used in developing films.
The machine places the film in
the developing solution. washes 1t,
dips 1t into the hypo, washes ii
again, places it in the drier, then
delivers the completely developed
