She's gotten to be quite an authority
on white flowers for all the seasons.
There's method in her madness
Not only do white flowers look dra-
matte outside the house but they're
just right for cutting and arranging
inside. The living room has pale
green walls and light green carpet,
furniture covering in the peach-cop-
er-gold-brown family of colors and
curtains in gold-colored taffeta that
lights up dramatically when the sun
streaks through them. So you can
see how lovely accents of white
would be here.
The dining room has darker green
walls, peach carpet and white ninon
curtains made to hang in wide
sweeping lines. The wall opposite
the windows has pair of gold
brackets that need Helen's white
flowers to complete the design of
the room.
Helen's own bedroom is in yellow
with aqua carpet, honey maple fur
niture, white swiss curtains and
spread of white chenille White flow
ers seem to pull this room together
and give it just the right style and
finish.

The invention of glass eyes is lost
in obscurity. Records show that
they were used by the Egyptians,
Romans and Venetians many Gen.
turtles ago. The priests as early as
500 b. c. were known to have made
them. The earliest known mention
of the modern form of artificial
eye occurs in an illustrated work
on surgery written by a French sur
geon-Ambroise Pare, published in
Paris in 1861. In this country the
first artificial eyes were uaanufac-
tured by Pierre Gougelman in 1851
on Van Dam street, New York, N.
Y, from glass imported from
France. The business is carried on
by his descendants under the name
of Mayer & Gougelman, Inc.

The story is told that several
telegraphers in Boston played q
Joke on Thomas A. Edison when he
was a young man. but the joke was
on them. Young Edison had. just
gotten a job as operator and the
other operators were amused at this
westerner's rusticness. So they
asked a veteran operator in New
York to send the newcomer a mes
sage at rapid-fire speed so they
could watch him sweat. But Edison
took the message with no difficulty
and. doubtless suspecting some
thing, sent a message back at q
faster rate than the one be had just
received.

Emma Lazarus

Emma Lazarus was a famous
Jewish poet and social worker born
in New York city. Her first volume
of poetry was published when she
was only l8. Subsequently she wrote
a novel called "Alide" based on the
life of Goethe. She aided in provid-
ing work and education for large
numbers of Russian Jews who fed
to America. Her sonnet to the Sta
tue of Liberty was placed inside the
base of the monument in 1886.

Grouped Furniture Makes
An Effective ARRANGEMENT

Furniture in the living room
should be arranged in groups and
not just strewn around the walls. In
even a small living room a better
arrangement may be worked out if
the furniture is placed in related
groups. In q family where there
are children of varying ages and
consequently different interests,
there can be an arrangement of the
living room furniture which will &C.
commodate the reeds of all if il is
properly grouped. Remember that
many a living room is spoiled by
having the furniture lined up ali
around the walls, with too much
space in the center.

u. S. Mammals Soon Will
Be Entirely Wiped Out

The United States in general and
California in particular, have exter-
minated more mammals than all of
the rest of the world combined,
according to the Museum of Verte-
brate Zoology of the University of
California, writes Berkeley, Calf,
United Press correspondent,
For scores of these, the only thing
that remains are stuffed or pre-
served specimens in the various mu-
seums and this number is increas-
ing yearly, museum authorities de-
clare.
California alone has caused the
extinction of five species of grizzly
bear, the long-eared swift fox once
numerous in the San Diego region,
the lava beds bighorn mountain
sheep and the northwest Bison.
The grizzly bear, symbol of Cali
fornia, has become extinct and the
southern bald eagle, symbol of the
United States, is rapidly following it.
The nation as a whole, museum
authorities say, finally has liquidat-
ed the Eskimo curlew, the once
abundant passenger pigeon, the
heath hen of New England, which
was particularly abundant; the Car
olina paraqueet, which was exter-
minated due to the demand for its
beautiful plumage; the great aux
and lesser known species.
River and sea creatures have not
escaped the rush of civilization. The
stellar sea cow, once sought with
the whale for its oil, is extinct.
The sperm whale. which once
ranged the coast waters of the Unit
ed States. has now been reduced to
a few, and these rarely are seen.
OF the nearly extinct species, few
er than a half dozen Of the pictur-
esque Sierra mountain sheep re-
main. The great California condor
has been reduced to fewer than 100.
The fisher and marten and the
river otter, small fur-bearing ami
mails, are facing complete extinc-
ton, it is pointed out, while the
sea otter, which once inspired nu-
merous expeditions and settlements
all along the coast, is in the same
category.
Due to shooting and widespread
draining of their marshy living
quarters, the ring-necked duck and
the widgeon have almost passed
from the picture. Likewise, the
beautiful white-tailed kite is fast be-
coming memory.

Its a good place." said Mrs.
Morton a little timidly, 'but the
hours are long and that leaves Joe
without much time for the children"

Sibley! Roston's crack shipper!

Household Hints
By BETTY WELLS

FOLDING beds are literally as old
as Egypt they're mentioned
in most all early stories of furni-
ture. So. we needn't think we're be-
ing so modern when we get some
trick number that vanishes when
you say "abracadabra." And we've
called attention before to that early
chair-bed of England-from all l
can gather it was a cross between
the wing chair and the Morris chair.
Just the same we were impressed
to death with a new bed-in-a-chest
that turned up at the recent furni-
ture market in Chicago. 1t is as
trim as you please by day. hidden

Early War Medals

Josephus in Antiquities of the
Jews" states that in the Third cen
fury B. c. Jonathan, the high priest,
successfully led the Jews in battle
thereby aiding Alexander, who sent
Jonathan as an honorary reward a
golden button. Later Jonathan re-
ceived another golden button for
similar service. The honorary re-
wards were the earliest form of
medal to commemorate war serv-
ice.

Afraid of Your shadow

The old saying about being
afraid of your shadow" epitomizes
one of the basic instincts of the ami
mate world. Countless small crea-
lures that have limited sense or
gans, or inadequate means to de-
fend themselves against enemies,
are afraid of shadows, or diminished
light. To be afraid of ones own
shadow is thus the height of fear,
points out the Better Vision Institute.

called out.
