Select Wallpaper
In Decorating

The bedroom is the problem
child of the house, declares
House Beautiful. Ideally it is
a room to go to sleep in and
hence restful; and also a room
to wake up in and thus exhilarat-
ing. Now it is obvious that
there are very few things that
can be both soothing and rous-
ing by turns without chang
ing drastically. So hard is the
solution of the problem that the
average person avoids 1t alto
gether and is resigned to making
the bedroom a place which is
either one thing or the other.
A COMPROMISE
There is a middle ground, it
seems. Find for your walls a
paint or a wallpaper which is
grayed and therefore tends to be
low in value under artificial
light. But this color should
have a certain underlying gaiety
and brightness which will pick
up strongly when the sun
streams beneath your Venetian
blinds in the morning. Or if
you cannot devise or find such
a color, break up your walls,
one or two CHEEKY and the re-
nainder Soporific.

RELEASED AT LAST

Now her real feeling toward
Napoleon has been divulged in
a recently found diary of Marie
Louise. lost for more than a
hundred years. In regard to her
marriage to Bonaparte, she
writes: 1T is inadmissable to
dispose of a woman's destiny
unless one hopes to make her
happy. without such hope, one
cannot object to someone else
taking charge of her happiness.
In this connection. one must
have suffered all the torments
accompanying such an impor-
tant decision, in order to know
the price one has to pay for such
. despotic command to marry"
Thus did the Austrian arch
duchess condone-if that's the
proper word to use-her own
iaison with Count Won Nipperg.

Europe must have been a hor-
rible ordeal.
STRANGE REARING
So careful had been the royal
family of Austria to preserve the
innocence of this Pirl that all
her pets-chickenS, cats, dogs,
horseS-were of the feminine
gender, and her marriage to
Napoleon was the resentful
awakening one might expect un-
der such circumstances.
In addition to this she had
been brought up to believe that
her husband was a good deal
of a monster, as we'll as a
parvenu. When she was thrown
to him, as the innocent pawn to
provide an heir for imperial
France, her reactions were such
as might have been expected
of a girl reared in such
innocence"
Other annotations in the
diary dwell on the "despotic
command to marry" which she
elaborated after Napoleon had
died and Count Won Nipperg
had become her morganatic
husband.
ALL REGRETTABLE
All said and done, her aver
sion to Napoleon and her de-
votion to Won Nipperg and the
children she bore him cannot
explain away her brutal in
difference to Napoleon's son. In
spite of the boys longing, she
did not visit him when he was
dying, but prolonged the journey
until "everything was over" as
history grimly informs us.
To rear a girl with no knowl-
edge of the facts of life" used
to be regarded as a maternal
triumph by some Of the ladies
of the old school. But the peeps
posterity has been accorded
into old diaries, such as the
lately discovered one of Marie
Louise, would seem to prove
that innocence" such as hers
revenged itself in amorous
adventures distinctly plural.
Marie Louise was at least faith
full to Nipperg if she felt she
owed the unloved Napoleon
little.

ROAST BEEF

A standing roast is one with
the ribs left in. A rolled roast is
one with the ribs removed. Salt
and pepper, and then roll and
tie the meat. The tip of the sir
loin is considered one of the best
pieces for roasting. Have the
oven very hot until the roast is
brown on both sides. Then re-
duce the heat. Add water to
cover the bottom of the pan and
baste every IS minutes.
ESCALLOPED TOMATOES
Use fresh, peeled or canned
tomatoes, and place a layer in
a baking pan. On that put a
layer of breadcrumbs. Then lay
over it in three or four places
small bits of butter; then
sprinkle lightly with salt and
pepper; then another layer of
tomatoes; another of bread
crumbs and so on until the dish
is full. Let the breadcrumbs
be on top with the bits of but
ter, salt and pepper. Bake for
IS or 20 minutes in a we'll
heated oven. Serve in the dish
in which it was baked.

LARGE CROWD SEES
GREYHOUND MOVIES
Scenes of World War Also
Shown in Program At
The Court House

A large crowd gathered at the court
house last night and saw the trave-
logue and World War films present
ed under auspices of the Greyhound
bus lines. Admission was free and
the public was invited.
The war pictures, official U. s..
Signal Corps films, were given first,
and the travelogue followed.
The travel picture was in the form
of a honeymoon trip by a couple of
newlyweds. They toured the country
by Greyhound bus, with convenient
stops here and there at points of in
terest, starting near Chicago and Giro
ling the west to the coast, thence
the southern route through Texas,
back to New Orleans, then Florida
and up the coast through historic
points in South Carolina the North
Carolina mountain and tobacco coun-
tries, thence to Virginia Beach, Wash
ington, Philadelphia, New York,
Boston, Niagara Falls, Cleveland and
home.
The audience followed the films
with interest, indicating the popu-
larity of travel films H. M Mat
thews, manager of the Greyhound in
telests here, made arrangements for
the showing, and two representatives
of the company were here with the
films to put on the pictures.
The travelogue films were sound
pictures, with a commentator ex-
planning the various views as they
flashed on the screen.

INDIRECT LIGHTING
OF ROADS PROPOSED
New Type ReflectOrs Placed Along
Roadside Win High Praise from
Safety Experts

Indirect" highway lighting-pro-
vid"d by series of new type reflect
ors placed along the roadside-have
won high praise from safety experts
and road engineers and undoubtedly
many experimental installations will
be made throughout the nation in tho
months ahead, according to w. c.
Gates of the Henderson office of the
Carolina Motor club.
This statement was made today on
the basis of reports from A. A. A.
headquarters on the initial inStalla-
ton along seventy miles of highway
between Detroit and Lansing, Mich.
The A. A. A. report summarized
the value of indirect lighting as fol-
lows
CD 1t outlines the roadway for
mile ahead with reflector buttons
said to be eight times more powerful
than any previously developed
CD When a motorist fails to see
the reflectors ahead, he knows he is
approaching hill, curve or that some
thing on the road is blocking the way.
90 Experts say that the problem
of glare is minimized and that cars
ahead on the road are more easily
distinguished
(Q Installation cost is only about
1886 per mile for both sides of the
road, with virtually no maintenance
cost, as compared to from So 900 to
$4,OOO per mile installation cost TO =
general illumination and annual main
tenance and operating costs from
5000 to $500 per mile
Among those who viewed the mi
tlal installation and praised it's merits
was Chief Thomas H. Macdonald Of
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads,
who said he expected to see the idea
spread like wildfire" and declared
that it is ga very definite contribu-
ton to safety of the highways and
the utility of roads at night"
Mr.. Gates said that while little
thought has been given highway light
ing in the South due to it's high install
ation and upkeep cost, the Carolinas
| particularly North Carolina, will be
greatly interested in results of the
experiments now underway with Gin

After a ten minute discussion at a
called meeting Friday night, the Hen
derson CITY Council voted to keep the
city's water rates the same as it Is
now, at $3.50 as the minimum. The
meeting was held for the announced
purpose of considering a revision in
water rates.
A matter OF reduction in electric
charges for pumping services at the
water plant and another relating to
construction of sewage disposal
plant were discussed ahead of the
water rates, and when the latter was
reached it was speedily disposed of
without any argument and very lit
tie discussion The entire meeting
lasted only about so minutes.
Mayor Henry T. Powell. presiding,
read a statement to the Council In
his capacity as manager of the water
works department. He stated the de-
partment should make sufficient
money to permit operations satisfac-
torily without any rate increase, and
predicted operating costs the coming
wear would be less, and opposed
building up surplus for some fu-
ture Council to divert to other pur-
poses. He also expressed doubt that
an increase in rates would result in
additional income, but might result in
abandonment of city water service by
a number of customers.
Alderman M. w. Wester, supervisor
of finance, moved that. in view of
the mayors recommendations, and
0Ch-
ton to the proposal, water rates re-
main the same for the coming year.
When the vote was put, it WAS unani-
nous. All members were present but
one.
The Council also voted the same
salaries to water works employees
during the coming year as last, and
took no action on a request, presented
for them by Mayor Powell, that John
P. Rem and Roy w. Robertson, in
charge of the water works plant, be
not charged for electric current used
UP to So per month Maintenance of
a mule the department has owned
since automobile days was dis
cussed in a jocular vein, and nothing
done. Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Rem
use the mule in cultivating gardens
and in growing feeds on land owned
by the city adjacent to the water
works lakes.
Mr.. Powelps statement read to the
Council, follows:
Gentlemen: AS manager of the
Henderson Water Works I do not be-
lieve that 1 would be fair to you or
to the people of Henderson if 1 did
not state that 1 was opposed to any
raise in the water rates and give you
my reason for that opposition.
"In the first place it is my honest
opinion that unless conditions grow
materially worse that the water works
will make sufficient money to oper-
ate satisfactorily And as to building
up a surplus it is my honest opinion
that should we build up a surplus we
would find that some future group
would spend the same just as the
previous surplus was spent. The ex-
penses of the coming year will be
considerably less than the expenses
of the past year as large sums were
required last year to repair meters,
and clean the pond, this representing
money that should have been spent
over a period of some five years but
had not been spent and so of ncces-
sity it all fell in one year In addition
