Cloth Windou Shaossss Are Selected
For The NelU Rockefeller APARTMENTS
BY BETTINA ]. vIGLEZE

These new Rockefeller apartment
houses, each having six-room duplex
apartments, are one of today's out
standing examples of modern archi-
lecture
Designed by the noted firm OF archi-
tects, Harrison & Fouilhoux, they cx-
tend from fifty-fourth to fifty-fifth
streets, between Fifth and Sixth Ave
nues-almost directly across the street
from the homes of Mr.. John D. Rocke-
feller, ST., and Mr.. John D. Rocke-
feller, Jr.
You will notice that the stark sim
plicity of the building has been re-
heved with four columns of bay win
dows. These semi-circular bays, al
most entirely enclosed in glass, serve
as solariuns and as dining rooms.
Bay window lend themselves most
perfectly to cloth window shades, and
if you will observe the photograph
carefully you viii see that almost
every window is hung with white win
dow shades.
Mr.. ]. Andre Fouilhoux is great
advocate Of effective color in win
dow shades as part of the decora-
tive ensemble of the building. Wit
ness the fact that the News Building
which he designed in conjunction with
the late Mr.. Hood has bright organdy
red shades; the McGraw Hill build
ing, another of his, has green and tan
window shades; and the third, the
Chicago Tribune building, has window
shades striped in grey blue to accent
the verticality of the building.
When so brilliant an architect rec
ognizes and stresses the decorative
Importance of color in cloth window
shades, it is time for those of us who
have our own homes and apartments
TO SIT up and take notice.
I.arkspur blue is an outstanding new
color in cloth window shades and
while it looks very magnificent with
white Colonial houses, it looks equally
we'll in summer bungalows; in the
kitchen of your own town apartment;
III the bathroom and in the bedroom
For it is beautiful cool blue tone
that keeps out the glare of summer
sun and makes your rooms look cool
and restful.
Blue as you know IS one of the
outstanding colors in home fur
nishings this summer and this particu-
lar blue cloth shade is perfect tone,
neither too light, nor too dark 1t is
again appropriate for nurseries, for it
softens the light. and any doctor will
tell you how important it is that
glaring light be kept from the eyes of
SIeenine children
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1937-05-21

There are other soft tones for
summer shades; cream with a touch
of rose in it. A No-lite shade that lets
in absolutely no light and may be or
dered from any department store or
window shade shop in a single color
or in a duo-tone, one tone facing the
interior of the room, the other facing
the street.

This arrangement follows the orig inal plan made by the board menn- bers about six weeks ago. At chat time it was voted to give prospec- tive buyers one months time in which to look over the buildings. Since that time offers have been made, the largest being one from the Golden Amusement O., of Brooklyn, N. Y, for the purchase of the entire village, but none of the deals have been closed.
 Public Action
 At the original session of the board of directors 1t was also voted that If the buildings were not sold, either as one unit or building by September 1, a date would be set for a public auction shortly thereafter. No information was released in connection with the matter today but 1t is not ex- pected that when the time limit expires at midnight tonight that there will be any last minute pur- chasers to talk about.
 William M. Harris, manager who has been in charge of all prospec- tive buyers, has stated on occasion that there have been some indi- viduals interested in buying sepa- rate houses. There has been no re- port of sales in this respect and the only important offer wac the one from the Brooklyn concern.

Preschool Physical
 Tests In Big Demand
Child Roundup Program Needed Over Full Year;
 Local Health Nurses to Lend Assistance

March to July period as In the past, the State Department of Health an- nounced today in Its weekly bulle- tin.
 There are severai reasons why this change seems advisable, the bulle- tin explained. In the first place, children now five years of age who will not enter school next month but who will be enrolled in Septem- Der, 1888, have ahead of them most important year. the events of which will determine their health and re- sistance to disease when their school days being. Tn the spring Of every year since 1925, the State eD- partment of Health has cooperated with the Connecticut Congress Of Parents and Teachers in urging par- ents to have their preschool children examined by their family physician and to have them follow his advice in correcting any physical defects found. or to take them to the Sum- mer Round-ups for accomplishing the same purpose, in order that chil- dren may enter school in the best possible physical condition.
 Tn 1880, there were 2,346 chil- dren examined either by family physicians or at the round-ups. Both examinations are considered part of the roundup program, Identical cards being used and later transferred to the school where a permanent record of the child's health is maintained. By 1886, the number had risen to 3,490, and the figures for March to July, 1887. are still higher. The extension of the round-up period to include the whole year is thus made necessary in order to meet the growing demand for the service, which indicates that parents and other people in the state now realize the advanatge of having physical defects discovered and corrected before they become physical handicaps.
 Another vital reason for the ex- tension is that there will be a longer time to improve the child's health in case he is found to have defective eyesight, teeth. tonsils or posture. It will be particularly val- uable, the bulletin said. to have 6 longer period of time for children found underweight. and 1t will per- init more time for parents to adopt and carry out physicians recommen- dations.
 The director of the departments bureau of child hygiene, as state chairman. will secure local medical service or provide physicians from the bureau. Local and state public health nurses will lend their valuable aid, and parent-teacher associations will register all five year old chil- dren, provide facilities for the ex- aminations, and give assistance in clerical capacities and transporta. ton of mothers and children.

 Transferral of funds from one de- partment to another featured the Clock town finance board meeting Monday night. A misunderstanding was given as the cause of the se- lectmen having spent several thou sand dollars over their budget on road work. This money was part of the state appropriation for roads, but the selectmen did not figure 1t in the budget. A further state ap- propriation since received was approved as was some from other departments to balance the budget.

Terrific cannonading between
Japanese warships and Chinese
artillery batteries endangered the
famous Bund in Shanghai's Inter
national Settlement late today.
The japanese N. Y. K. wharf
was hit three times and the Japa-
nese consulate was struck once.
AS the duel was renewed after
a brief lull, Japanese guns from
the Yangtzepoo area poured a ter
rifle barrage into Chinese concrete
dugouts in Pootung and other
areas.
CHINESE POSITIONS HOLD
But the Chinese positions held
under the day-long series OF
commandments and aerial bomb
ings. Chinese said their entrench-
ments along the whole front were
holding up.
The London Evening Standard,
in an uncredited dispatch, quoted
a Japanese military spokesman
at Shanghai as admitting cholera
had broken out among japanese
troops at Paoshan. Twenty are
dead and eight dying, the news
paper said.
The japanese, meanwhile, con-
centratcd all available weapons
for a new assault.
AS the hostilities were continued
with no sign of abating, a shell
landed in the compound of the CEN
trail police station opposite the
Metropole Hotel in the interna-
