rare Ming vase in our most modern
surroundings"
THE picture on this page, portraying
a bed room group, illustrates the
smooth surfaces and balance of each
article. Unnecessary lines have been
eliminated and the design Of each
piece has been inspired by the prac-
tical and beautiful. There is none Of
the exaggeration or nightmare eccen-
tricity of the 'modernistic"-a happy
medium reigns, making the idea Of
modern furniture acceptable to the
most prejudiced mind.
The floor covering, rug Of striking
design, is made of the new pebble or
twist weave. Background of amber,
pattern and lines Of dark brown and
beige. make beautiful soft setting
for the furniture, which is of natural
birdseye maple and Caucasian elm.
The vanity with the slightly curved
mirror and side drawers is truly
graceful piece. Notice the horizontal
glass shelf in front of the mirror to
insure a full-length refection-the
puff completes the grouping in a
pleasing manner.
The bed, as you see, is low swung,
and much to our surprise retains the
head and footboard. The spread is OF
hand-woven material in various tones
"a melange of green and chartreuse
to the darkest olive tone; horizontal
stripes with an 8-inch border of the
darkest shading. This particular COW
ering, to our mind, woul1 be perfectly
stunning on studio couch-it would
certainly harmonic with almost any
setting.
TN THE living room suites We noticed
that walnut is the wood favored
for the new designs-the tone Of this
wood blends readily with the OYSTER
white and lemon -colored walls that
are preferred in the modern influence.
1t was interesting, too, to discover
that the window walls we're tinted
slightly darker than the opposite wall
"a new theory in wall treatment. The
window wall does not get the benefit
of the light as does the other, so to
insure the right tone and color on
the entire wall space. every detail is
taken into consideration and the tint
ing carried out accordingly.
Many unusual and colorful new
fabrics are to be used in the new
draperies. Some of them are hand
woven and a distinctive selection was
displayed at the preview. Silvery and
glossy casts are very popular-odd
patterns and horizontal lines are used
in the most effective style and present
a welcome relief from the generalities
of our much-used chintz and block
linen.

Clear Vision
In Personal
Estimates
Judgments Diff f e r
Among Neighbors,
Parent, Teacher.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

TLOUDED vision is characteristic
of humanity. Our eyes report
facts, but our minds do as they will
with them. This is true where the
| children are in question. Too often
we see them as we wish to see them
and not as they are. That accounts
for a deal of trouble in school and
home.
A mother usually sees a child in
rosy light. He is handsome, bright,
a good-mannered child and very pop
ular among his companions. To the
neighbors he is that brat" On the
other hand, the teacher Is very likely
to see him worse than he is because
1t is her duty to detect any weakness,
correct any error and build him sure
and strong in mind and body. Anxious
to do him full justice, she falls short
Of mercy. Mercy can Ill be spared.
Meanwhile the child is neither as
good nor as bad as he seems. He
has certain failings, of course. but he
as surely has certain strengths. The
clearer we see him the better we can
deal with him. If we consider him
as the child of his parents, human,
neither angelic nor devilish, just nat
ural; if we accept that notion of him
and go on from there In the hope of
making him as good human child as
possible, things will work out better.
Teachers and parents must work
together, see the same child. or there
Is trouble.
Saul was the usual sort of boy in
school, good in some subjects, fair in
some, poor in certain requirements.
He was healthy, of good intelligence,
but no indication of genius could be
discovered In his work. His report
card showed an impartial distribution
of the alphabet from A to e.
Now Saul's mother thought him the
greatest boy that ever was born, and,
of course, that was the way she saw
him. No mother can be blamed for
that, but it does handicap the busi-
ness of education If it gets between
school and home, as 1t did in this
case.
What is the matter with you?
When you have a good boy can't you
mark him right? Saul is not dumb as
this card says he is. He Is the bright
est boy in the room. You keep that
card. I don't want 1t. Next time
mark Saul as he ought to be marked
or I'll see about it,
No teacher can stand being talked
to like that, so while the answer
was couched in polite terms. it told
Sauls mother very definitely that, far
from being the best in the room, ne
was about the worst from any point
of view. In fact, the teacher Won
dered how he ever got to her grade
with so little preparation and power.
Unless he improved
And all the time here was Saul,
Just healthy youngster, doing his
best, in need of help and encourage
ment from home and school, getting
no help, no word of understanding
from either. It is as useless to tell
q child that he Is wonderful when
he is ordinary as it is to tell him
he is awful when he is just normal.
Try to see child as he Is, good,
bad, Indifferent, sick, or sad or sorry.
Until you clear your vision OF your
mental interpretations you see your
own creation, and remain blind to
the actual child. Stand back and
take q long, impartial look at him.
II you can.

TORTUNATE it is for Washing
- ton that an internationally
famous designer and decorator
= has ventured to present here,
and for the first time in this country,
a group of her latest creations. The
recent opening Of an uptown shop
introducing these new furnishings and
accessories undoubtedly heralds new
era in interiors for our metropolis
and provides rare opportunity for
those who have long wanted to adopt
the new trend but have felt incapable
Of judging just how much of the
modern they could happily bring into
their homes.
Many Washington residences are
filled with choice antiques and OBJ
1ectS Of art and 1t Is natural for
one to wonder just how the modern
will be accepted and in what de-
gree the two types may be har-
monized.
THERE is, for the average person,
a question as to what the term
modern" implies. At the shops pre-
view it was interesting to learn from
the designer herself many Illuminating
points on this subject. She said, in
part
"a great deal Of misunderstanding
OF the term modern" as applied to
furniture and interiors still exists
IN the minds Of many Americans Of
intelligence and good taste. Too often
the expression is confused with the
word ''modernistic," which was
trend some years ago, coming to its
fullest expression in the Paris ex-
position of 1925. The so-called mod
ernistic style, with its angles and
diagonals. its bizarre geometric lines
and strong sophisticated colors, is quite
different from our modern of today
with its simplicity, balance and har-
mony.
ITO be modern means to make use
OF the best available materials in
expressing the present philosophy and
ideals. New materials, such as steel,
cork, bakelite and structural glass,
demand new forms. We have given
expression to some Of these materials
in our chronological developments
with our automobiles, refrigerators and
airplanes. But to be thoroughly mod
ern We must carry this expression
into our homes, which should, after
all, reflect our own personalities.
II certainly do not wish to con-
denim our inheritance of beautiful
furniture, or even to suggest that
we discard the products and ideas
of the past. A really beautiful piece
has no period. We can use a pure
piece Of Heppelwhite or Sheraton with
the best modern furniture, just as we
can place a fine Egyptian figure or

The Old Gardener Saws {:

! Planting Of grass on sloping
ground often presents a problem.
If the slope is very steep, sodding
must be resorted to, for seed is
certain to be washed out before
it takes root. Seeding can be
depended upon when the grade
is only moderate. In practice,
both seeding and sodding are
commonly depended upon. 1t is
not necessary to use fine lawn
grass for sodding. Turf from a
pasture will usually give good
results and is pretty certain to
be thrifty and well rooted. A
new lawn mower, which will
coast downhill, moving as it goes,
greatly reduces the labor re-
quired to keep the grass on a
bank or slope in good condition.

son why it is well to give in on the
issue will carry far more weight.
Clothing that is detrimental to
health-such as high-heeled shoes, for
instance-should not be tolerated,
but the reason for wearing the right
kind should be patiently explained.
Another important point lies in
not giving the child too many clothes.
She should have an adequate ward
robe, but not an elaborate one. She
should be made responsible for the
condition of her clothing, be taught
to get her own laundry out and to
sort it on its return, to report any
holes or other damages so that they
may be promptly taken care Of and
to keep track Of small items such as
handkerchiefs. gloves, stockings and
so forth.
If she does not have too many
dresses and sets of underwear she
will have to look after them prop
erly to be sure of having something
to wear that is always fresh and
clean.
THE average schoolgirl needs
few wash dresses for the warm
Fall and Spring days, plain tweed
skirts and an assortment of sweaters
for the Winter ones: sturdy stockings
Of ribbed cotton or cotton -and-wool
(pure wool is to heavy for this
climate), plain, durable cotton under
wear and thick soled, broad toed,
low-heeled shoes. A warm, tailored
coat of some dark tweedy mixture
and plain felt hat or beret to match,
will take care of most outdoor prob
lens. Of course, woolly gloves and
snow suits will prove comfort on
snowy days, with galoshes. and for
the very chilly fair mornings pair of
light weight rayon and wool" shorts
slipped on over the bloomers will give
added protection from the cold while
walking to school.
Simple. plain garments are the
best choice as a general rule. The
more inconspicuouS your child is the
better time she will have of it among
her fellows. Only the girls who are
born leaders can hope to get away"
with any startling innovations. There
are several Of these in each school,
and they are the ones that all the
others emulate. Perhaps your daugh-

Acne Cases

Special Rinse Offers
Improvement for the
Oily Skin.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

p o. P: So often a question
similar to your own is put to
me. and so often answer: The fact
that friend of yours with appar-
emily skin condition similar to your
own responded to a clay pack or any
other treatment, for that matter, does
not indicate that your own case will
be benefited by the same treatment.
You say yours is a severe case,
that physicians have not made much
progress, yet you ask for a diagnosis
by mail and are willing to tamper
with q mud or clay pack. My advice
IS that you see a physician who
has specialized in skin diseases. In
the treatment Of acne, particularly
where there Is pus, the less foreign
matter you put on the skin the
better. Please do not continue to
jump from one preparation to another
in q frantic effort to get rid of the
condition quickly. 1t takes time. I'd
like to send you my bulletins on the
subject and tell you how much is
involved-how much depends the
digestive tract, etc. Send self-ad-
dressed. stamped (3-cent) envelope
for this information.
Tincture Of Benzoin.
P. c. A: A few drops Of tincture
of benzoin (the simple tincture of
benzoin, not the compound which Is
thick and gummy) added to basin of
water-enough to make the water
milky color-makes a fine rinse for
the oily skin. 1t helps to check the
oil, also to remove the dead outer
cells Of the skin which are usually
dark and give the skin q discolored
look.
Cleansing Cream Recipe.
Mrs. I. B. T.: Albolene is used quite
generally by the people of the theater
for cleansing the skin. Another for
mula consists of 4 ounces OF white

THE BORDER PATROL

Efficiency of the border patrol of the
u. s. immigration service has again been
demonstrated in the quick arrest of two
men charged with a vicious assault on
one of the patrols inspectors and the ap-
prehension of two aliens whom the ar
rested men were assertedly smuggling
into the country.
The attack on Inspector Thomas was
a particularly brutal one, his assailants
evidently attempting to kill him and be-
lieving they had done so when they left
him lying beside the road battered and
bleeding from the beating in which his
own pistol was used as a club.
AS soon as word of the attack had
been received here the border patrol be-
gan to function and with the cooperation
of civilian officials, soon had the sus-
pected men under arrest and took up the
trail of the smuggled aliens who were
also placed in custody.
Probably no other law enforcement
body is held in higher esteem, in Imper-
ial Valley anyhow, than the men of the
border patrol, despite the fact that their
duty is a veXatious one, as far as the
law-abiding citizen is concerned. En-
route out of the valley, when he is try
ing to make his trip as rapidly as possi-
BILE, the citizen is halted at one point or
another by the border patrol. If he is
law-abiding the citizen has nothing TO
fear from the border patrolman who is
as anxious to speed him on his way as the
citizen is to resume his trip.
The border patrol has reputation for
courtesy 1t may be that this fact may
have been responsible in a measure at
least for Inspector Thomas bein
Jumped" by his assailants, for the or
ganization does not function on the sup
position that every car inspected is being
used in smuggling aliens On the con-
trary it recognizes the fact that law vio-
lators are small minimum and con-
Germs itself with seeking them out. If
in doing so the honest citizens have to be
annoyed, the border patrol endeavors to
make the annoyance as light as possible.
Citizens quite generally recognize the
truth-that the border patrol is func-
tioning for their own protection and are
willing to cooperate with the federal
men.
Hand in hand with the reputation for
courtesy goes a tradition for efficiency in
ferreting out the law violator. The
border patrol may not have the publicity
of the Northwest Mounted, for instance,
but it gets its man in the great majority
of cases.

QUIEN SABE?

Is the ROOSEVELT Johnson Damon and
Pythlas act due for a smash-up?
The President it will be recalled, was
given fullest support two years ago by
CALIFORNIA; senior senator, Hiram W.
Johnson, Republican, and in return Sem
ator Johnson had a free field when he
ran for the senate last fall. Senator
Johnson set something of a record by be-
ing elected on four tickets.
Sixteen years ago Senator Johnson
was one of the most violent opponents of
Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations
plan and of the World Court. 1t was
largely through his efforts, plus those of
Senator Borah, the late Henry Cabot
Lodge and others, that the entry of the
United States into the League of Nations
was prevented.
Now the World Court issue is resur-
rected. Today the President sent a mes
sage to the senate urging it to approve
the entry of the United States into the
World Court.
Johnson has not changed in the 16
years that have passed. He is just as
much opposed to the World Court now
as he was then. He can be expected to
fight to the last ditch to prevent the ap-
proval which the President seeks from
the senate.
That of course is Senator Johnson's
right. 1t is also the right of the Presi-
dent to advocate approval. But it will
be interesting to the observer to note the
results. Senator Bronson Cutting of
New Mexico was a Roosevelt supporter
in 1882, despite his Republican tag Later
he did some things the administration
did not like and in the election last fall
he was opposed by Democrat, being de-
MED the support which the administra-
tion gave to Senator Johnson. Even to-
day there is contest on his election, the
administration forces hoping to seat his
Democratic opponent, Dennis Chavez.
Cutting was disciplined for opposing
the administration Will Hiram also be
disciplined?

DISPLAYS OF
STUDENTS ON
EXHIBITION

Two interesting displays of I'M
perial valley projects made
by school children of Winterhaven
and Laguna schools are to be seen
in the instruction supervisors room
in the court house basement.
Winterhaven has been working
on a seed project, and Laguna, due
to location, has been greatly inter
ested in the construction work OF
the American canal.
The children have made large
picture of the drag line and have
written an essay explaining the OPP
Grafton of the dragline. Both Of
these, which are eXcellently done
according to the instruction super
visors, are displayed on the wall in
the office.
Also displayed there is a seed
chart made by the Winterhaven stu
dents and showing the various kinds
of seeds grown in the valley, "a of
them being illustrated in the chart.
They have also written little book
let describing the seeds.

Tinkham is the man who wants to
sever diplomatic relations with Rus
sia and Fish is famous for his at
tacks on the Communists. AT first
glance they are going to suspect
that the red peril has raised its
ugly head within the very precincts
of the capitol.
The white jackets of the senate
walters are boldly emblaZoned with
the initials ~. S. S. R." and worse
than that, the letters are fiery red.
They do not mean, however, that
the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies has taken over the preparation
of the senator's food.
BY coincidence the famous initials
are the same as those of the United
States senate restaurant.
