Colors for Special Spaces.

An effective way to treat special
wall Spaces-such as the area around
the fireplace, the recess at the head

them painted a different tint or color
than the rest of the wall. This deco

"I can see no sense to it," stated
Mrs. Hester Walls, who is probably
the Oldest resident of Delaware,
having recently observed her 102nd
birthday, when asked if she de-
sired to have a smoke. Mrs. Walls,
who was born near Colts Station,
Maryland, on August 2, 1888,
makes her home with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Lydia Bradley, in Dover.
She has practically spent her en-
tire lifetime on the Delmarva Pen
insula and has resided in Dover for
the past sixteen years. Other than
the above statement Mrs. Walls re-
fused any comment on the ques-
ton of women smoking. She states
that she enjoys automobile riding
but detests travelling at speed
greater than twenty miles per
hour. Mrs. Walls was married
twice during her lifetime and her
second husband died nineteen years
ago. She was married and had
several growing children during
the period of the Civil War, in
which her husband participated as
a soldier in the Union Army. Mrs.
Walls has raised twelve children
during her lifetime and at present
has more than forty grandchildren.

PROPHETS OF
DOOM ALWAYS
In Every Age There Have
Been Writers Who Were
PeSSimiStic
TENDENCY OF TIMES

LOndon.-Taking issue with those
who see the world as proceeding in
a continuous downward direction
and with prophets of doom" in
general, correspondent of the
London Times sends to that paper
an anthology of pessimism COM
piled by himself.
1t commences, he says, with an
early Babylonian tablet lamenting
the growth of irreligion, of disre-
gard for law and disreSpect for par
ents. 1t proceeds inexorably through
Egyptian papyri and the inspired
lamentations of the Hebrew proph-
cts, through the melancholy fore
bodings of Greek writer's to the am
pier records of the great Latin au-
thOrs of the Augustan age.
Livy, who died three years after
Augustus, observes in the preface
to his first book that Ito most read
ers the earliest origins and the
period Immediately succeeding them
will give little pleasure, for they
will be in haste to reach these mod
ern times, in which the might of a
people which has long been very
powerful Is working its own undo
ing.
Tacitus laments.
Tacitus Ode Oratore'O, a few
years later, was loud in his denun-
citation of the characteristic vices
of the age.
The gravest of historians in each
successive age have spoken of their
own times and of the immediate fu-
ture in terms of almost unrelieved
gloom. Claudian alone was Optimis-
tic in his prophesies of the future
greatness of Rome ('De Cons, Still"
III, 150):
"'Tis she alone who has received
the conquered into her bosom and
like mother, not an empress, pro-
tected the human race with a COM
mon name, summoning those whom
she has defeated to share her citi-
zenship and drawing together dis
tant races with bonds of affection.
There will never be a limit to
the empire of Rome"
Within five years the jealous
Honorius had murdered Stilicho,
who alone might have saved Rome
from destruction a few months later
at the hands of Alaric.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, the
graffiti of despairing men scratched
on the walls of the church tower of
Asheren in Hertfordshire at the
time of the Black Death, the pas
sionate outbursts of Piers Plowman,
the measured wisdom of Bacon and
innumerable passages in Shake
speare, Spenser and Raleigh, cul-
minating in Millions exuberant
prose-all alike show how keenly
good men in every age are aware
of chow many are the perils
through which we have to CO."
Just State of Mind.
The correspondent concludes:
Passing over Sir William Petty
in 1855, and Rev. John Brown and
his contemporaries, | have space
only to refer to Sir Robert Giffen's
evidence before the Royal Commits
sion on Trade Depression in 1886.
Almost every witness testified to
the impending collapse or rapid de-
cay of England. None could see
anything but disaster ahead. Sir
Robert Giffen alone stood firm. He
said:
Depression was to him a state
of mind of those in business; the
result very often of too much talk
and too little hard work. 1t
would pass
"It did pass. All the middle-aged
witnesses proved wrong. BY 1895
we had risen to fresh heights,
which we have long ago over-topped.
