their boring ability is that the COL
umns of the temple of Scraps at
Puteoh are perforated by a species of
these mollusks at point that is far
above the present sea level. This re-
veals that these ruins must have at
some time been submerged and that
the coast has changed its level within
historic times. There are other in
stances that show the ancestors Of
these date shells were large and power
full, and that they could use the great
foot for leaping, crawling and boring
as well.
sometimeS you may find deserted
stone or rock, with only the open
shells Of the mollusk imbedded in it.
These strange but often handsome
homes may be cleansed of all matter

Date Shells

~ ATE shells or rock eaters
may be found on the whole
reef near Cape Florida. There
are numerous ipatches Of
them and they cover vide areas, for
they are found at present in all seas.
Some species have very wide distribu-
ton. Fossil remains show that at one
time vast numbers Of them we're to be
found getting foothold in the rocks.
Some members of the family Mytil-
idae, to which this date shell belongs,
often reach very large size. This
is true of the species that is found
along the shores Of California, 9 inches
in length.
The stone borers or rock eaters have
thin shell which is cylindrical and
inflated in front, wedge-shaped behind.
The shell is very finely ribbed, often
furrowed and wrinkled.
The minute beak is in-curved. The
epidermis is thick and dark, but the
lining of the shell is an exquisite
pearl color.
When the date shell is young and
starting out in life to carve its niche
in the rocks, 1t must hang fast to its
foundation by means of the byssus.
This is group Of long. tough fila
ments which are secreted from gland
in a groove of the foot and issue from
between the valves. At first the
threads are viscous. but they become
hardened when they come in contact
with the water These guy ropes"
thus anchor the rock eater to it's fu-
ture home. With no danger of being
washed away from the home, the
borer begins using its foot to make
groove in which 1t will eventually be
well established and can then spend
the time catching food. Its stationary
position prevents it from turning
around. but it can move slightly for
ward. All boring activities are accom-
plished by the one and only foot.

EARLY Forecasts

While most of the election fore
casts y currently assume that The
Republicans will make wide gains
shheGehgpess, some asserting that
these will gain from fifty to eighty
seats in the House, it is entirely
too early for such calculations. In
most cases. the prediction repre-
scnts wistful thinking. At any
rate, they are along the same line
and from the same sources that
made similar predictions in 1884.
Meanwhile, it is to be noted that
the opponents Of the measures
recommended by the President
seldom fail TO refer to President
Roosevelt in complimentary
terms. This is taken to be
recognition of his continuous per-
sonal popularity among the peo
pie of the country So far, he has
given no indication whatever of
abandoning his program and it is
safe to say that he will be mill
tant in the advocacy of the New
Deal before the campaign comes
to a conclusion. Then ii will be
up to the voters ard after, the bal
lots have been counted the
prophets will find out whether
the New Deal has the continued
approval of the American people.
Until then, we must wait.

paler colors which do not "vi-
brate" so strongly. But those
bright colors will look grand on
smaller pieces /. :, vases, lamps,
flowers and pictures.
Now, for the south rooms
the sunny rooms cool calm
colors are nice. Greens and blues
with white or gray. A room with
delicate powder blue painted
walls, satiny white woodwork and
soft blue-green rug sounds lovely
and is cool as a cucumber. Of
course you may have small ac-
cents of warm color, but there is
no color cheat" here.
And so, outside of few hard
and fast rules, one persons ideas
on color are as good as the next.
Within reason use what your
heart desires. But try to asso-
ciate your choice in paint colors,
with the amount of light the
rooms get.

The HOME DECORATORS
Color, Color, Everywhere

"Um that red looks good
enough to eati" Once in a while
a color strikes us as being too
good to be true. Then, often as
not, we forget all about color.
After we live in house for a
long time, it's likely to fade and
become drab so slowly we're not
even conscious of the change.
Fact is, we get so we actually
don't 'see ourselves as others
see u.s." ~ 80 49,
SO, once in a long whiIe It's a
good idea to take stock. If the
rooms are sick-looking, it's time
to do something about them.
Maybe new curtains will do the
trick, perhaps new and bright
slip covers on that big chair by
the fireplace will be enough. May
be the only thing that will help
is painting the walls a new and
exciting color.
Actually decoration, in most
cases, is color. color attractive
ly and usefully used. For one
thing, the amount of light diff
ferent rooms get, makes a whale
of difference in picking colors
for those rooms. Rooms with
northern exposure, not much sun,
almost demand warm colors.
