In the modern nurseries the
lines are simple, smooth, with
sleek surfaces and the gleam OF
chromium appears. Even the toy
animals added look as if they had
just come from a very modern
ZOO.
Bright crayon colorS are replac-
ing the pastels in many nurseries.
Walls are still in the softer hues
but the furniture is finished in the
bright enamels that are not only
durable, but easy to clean.
You can, of course. spend lot
Of money or a very little on the
room to be occupied by the young
est member of the family. Natur-
ally it is easier to plan the ar
rangement of the room If you do
not have to watch your budget too
closely. It is possible, however, to
do the decorating on the provero-
ial shoestring.
Fundamentals
The attractiveness of the room
in this case will depend on the
cleverneSs of the idea around
which it is built. The most anus
ing for children are often planned
around some simple idea which
appeals to children.
There are really only a few
fundamentals good bed, table
or desk with a chair that is the
right height, correct lighting,
shelves or cupboards for treasured
possessions, and a wardrobe Just
the right size for hanging the
clothing. Beyond this the rest is
UP to Imagination, the size of the
room, and the state Of the poket-
book.
Here are some ideas for in
expensive nurseries:
Perhaps the most ingenious Of
the new rooms are those that have
been designed around the circus
idea. The walls suggest big tent
and furniture remind one OF
animal cages, etc. Helen Park who
designed the furniture developed
the room in circus colors, straw
colored walls, the color of the sun
shining through the canvas, with
red bands at intervals to represent
the poles of the tent. A scalloped
border of real canvas or duck is
tackled around the picture mold

Bankers Warned to Fix

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 7. (UP),
The men who underwrite and sell
the nations securities ended the
25th convention of the Investment
Bankers Association of America
last night with resources of their
organization committed to a four
point course Of action.
During the five days in which
nearly 1000 of the nations lead
ing fnanciers studied "unmistaka-
Bile indications" Of the return OF
better times here, the association
devised a program which:
/. Places the association def
nitely on record as opposing con-
stitutional tax limitations for
states or municipalities.
.. Authorizes appointment of a
committee to work with state Sc
curities commissioners for uni

oppose fraudulent operations in
the national money markets.
4. Sets up association machin-
cry TO assist the federal securi-

ris, Hall IL Co.. Chicago, was in

were incapable of regulating

"When money rates turn, who
IS going to be the goat in the eyes
Of the public?" Edie asked.
" Whatever the mandate of
