Avoid constipation! If you disre-
gard its warning and neglect to treat
it promptly, look out for sickness!
You cannot hope to have good
health if you do nothing to prevent
or to relieve constipation. Some of
its disturbing effects may be-
Bilious attacks, poor appetite, bad taste
in the mouth, dizziness, bad breath, coated
tongue, sick headache, spots before the
eyes, bloating Of the abdomen, belching UP
of gas, uneasiness, physical and mental
sluggishness, etc.
When you need medicine for constipa-
ton, you won't find better laxative than
a NATURAL medicine, like THEDFORD'S
BLACK-DRAUGHT, made out Of the leaves
and roots Of certain highly approved me-
dicinal plants. Black-Draught costs less
than most laxative medicines, so you can
afford to keep it and take it, when needed.
If you are feeling bad, like you might
be in need of Thedford's Black-Draught,
take dose tonight and feel better to-
morrow. Sold in 25-cent packages. nss.s

still busy with October house furnishing, who
have asked me to explain certain definite
rules of good taste that every one who at
tempts to furnish or to arrange house or a
room should know.
The very words, Classic principles of ar

don't they? On the other hand, there is really
no sense in writing as do from time to time
about the personality of house or room or
piece of furniture and referring now and then
to the rules by which the beauty of every OBJ
ject we own is measured, and saying never
single word in explanation of these definite
exactions.
Most people are apt to think of architec-
ture as subject as technical as the manu-
factWe of steel or the practice of surgery. In
its designs for churches and public buildings
this is true: but in its designs for houses -
either great or small - the principles of archi-
tectural beauty are of personal concern not
only to every house owner, but to every young
girl who hopes some day to have home of
her own - in short, to every young girl in the
world.
Briefly, then, the first requirement of beauty
not only in the design and plan of a house, but
in everything we choose or use, is suitability
L. l. ha 1ot, t,at
or it may be the smallest bungalow; but its
plan and its furnishings must be suitable to
our needs and to our personality. Moreover,
Evening star., 1935-10-20

"TAe Personality Of a House," Etc.

each object in it must be suitable to the
purpose for which it is to be used. and becom-
ing to the place or to the occasion for which
it is intended.
Suitability to use, which is merely another
name for utility, means that dwelling should
give the appearance of being inviting and
friendly. unless the owner does not want to
be friendly. In which case welcoming effect
of wide open doors and unshaded windows
are as unsuitable to that particular owner
as windowess outside walls and barred en-
trance would be to family that loves to have
the neighbors running in and out.
Form. meaning merely the outline or shape
of something, can not be judged unless we
consider the qualifying attributes of proper
tion, and scale. Proportion means harmonyin
all relations of measure Scale means the size
of the decoration in proportion to the object
decorated or of detail to the whole of which
it is part.
For instance, a room is in proportion when
its height is suitable to its length and width.
Its details are in scale when they are in pro-
portion to the size of the room and to one
another.
The rule made by that greatest of archi-
tects, lingo Jones, was that building must be
"solid, proportionable according to rule, mas
cune and unaffected" And these same re-
quirements ideally describe the furnishing of
a room for man. Another attribute of
architecture. essential to rooms to be used by
a man, is strength. This is also more or less
dependent upon an effect of substantial weight,
since strength means obviously sufficient solid
ity for size and purpose.
A chair likely to break if he throws him
self back in it - or teeters it back on its hind
legs - or one that has back reaching only
to his waist, or a table that wabbles, or
drop-leaf one that tips over if he leans uponit,
are all as unsuitable to mans comfort as
bed that is shorter than his own length.
On the other hand, too solid chunk of

house. so massivey built that you feel it
might easily be converted into a vault has
strength that is out of all proportion to the
requirements of dwelling If piece of
furniture is intended to support something of
great weight, then an appearance of solidity
is as important as its actual strength. But
huge block-shaped chair. large and strong
enough to hold hippopotamus, or ton
weight sideboard supporting an ornament of
fragile glass is an unsuitable exaggeration of
weight
Nothing is more important to the pleasing
arrangement of room than balance, meaning
the equilibrium between the furniture on one
side of room and that on another side All
tall pieces gathered at one end of room
produce the feeling that the room is capsizing.
One tall piece on one side may, however. be
balanced by short object if it looks heavier
than the tall piece. Two objects can of course,
be used to balance one. If you want to put
little picture on one side of the mante and
big one on the other. the little picture can be
made to balance the big one quite easily, if
you put lamp on table under the little
picture. but nothing under the big one.
difficult object to place in room -
without capsizing it - is grand piano, since
it can scarcely be put in the middle of the
floor! The usual way to balance it is to hang
very high and rather dark curtains on the
opposite side of the room, or else to place a
unified group of furniture across from it,
For instance, whole wall-covering of
taDestry with sofa under il is NOT too m,,ch
counterweight for concert grand piano. A
commode or long table, with picture or mir
ror hung low enough to be included with it
as single unit of furnishing, will balance
baby grand. A piano is, of course, made still
heavier ifit has an unusually large cover over
it weighted down by ponderous lamp.
The extreme height in the average room is
furnished by the window, and it is balanced
by mantel on the opposite wall, but sofa

or possibly two sofas next to the mantel
and therefore an addition to its weight. must
have something of important size to counter
balance it.
In an excellent and very typical furnishing
two small sofas are thrust out into the room
from either side of the fireplace and long
sofa is placed in the center of long wall
opposite. A table with an important lamp and
ornament is placed at either end of the large
sofa, and an important picture, decorative
panel, or tapestry is hung over the sofa.
Let us say that tall panel-shaped mirrors
are hung over two consoles to balance two
windows on the opposite wall. They are not
merely as high as the windows but, if the
curtains are light in texture as well as color,
they are in balance because you feel that the
windows weigh less than the framed mirrors.
The word texture, which means surface fin
ish, is applied to surface of wood or metal
as we'll as to floor coverings or hangings or
upholstery. You wouldn't trim chiffon even
ing dress with bands of tweed, or put cover
ing of coarsest weave on fragile satinwood
chair. Texture can be fine, smooth, polished,

coarse or harsh Usually texture, like color,
must be harmonious, unless combined by an
artist of great skill.
Line means the edge of anything The lines
of book are straight, and at right angles to
one another The form of book is fiat
rectangular block. A single object is often
composed of innumerable lines that are paral-
lei and right angled -s such as doors and all
straight-line furniture Other objects are
composed of innumerabe. .beautifullyrelated
or antagonistically unrelated curves.
And this is an important point to notice.
Too much repetition becomes monotonous.
The chief objection to matching sets of fur
niture is that their monotony destroys per-
sonality. What possible personality can be
expressed in Pattern No. 987,654 in sixteen
pieces? The same details sixteen times re-
peated! After all, the variability of our own
personal choice in assembling our rooms is the
true expression Of our personal taste and the
factor Of interest.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
AT STEEL PLANTS
Schedules Rise Steadily.
Rate at Highest Point
Since February.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October 1.-The
steel industry caps an exceptionally
favorable performance this Summer
by entering the final quarter with an
operating rate of better than SO per
cent Of capacity.
Mill schedules have shown a steady
expansion since early in July, which
period marked the years low point
OF operating activity at just about
80 per cent.
At 50.8 per cent. the production
level estimated for the current week
by the American Iron & Steel In
stitute, the industry is going at its
best pace since the week of February
IL. The top rate for this year was
528 per cent registered in the week
OF February 4.
The Summer gain, running against
all precedent. is decidedly encourag-
Ing to holders of steel shares, on which
dividends have been few and far be-
tween since the start of the depres-
sion. It also is cheering to business
analysts who have peer closely study
ing the steel production chart line
for confirmation of recent predictions
from various quarters that the dur
able goods industry would be making
rapid strides toward recovery in tie
last quarter of the year.
Another heartening element in the
steel industry's showing since the
start of the Summer is the evidence
it gives of buying by miscellaneous
consumers who in previous depression
years contributed very much smaller
tonnages to the steel-producing COM
panies.
This, according to the industry's
spokesmen, has taken up a heavy
slack which otherwise would have
developed this year between periods
