show will be staged at night. The
great lights of the stadium will be
in full play, with specially design

to give the effect of great Grecian
columns. Persons attending the

sight of beautiful and comely girls
posed atop real bales of cotton
arranged all around the stadium,
The girls will remain in place dur
ing most of the coronation cere-
monies which will be a show in it
self. Each girl will wear special
ly designed costume, meant to show
what the well-dressed woman who
wears cotton will use for apparel in

Anderson's Own Story
THE story Of the ugly Duck

Christian Anderson, was the au-
thor's own life history, told in a
fairy tale.
This story tells of a little swan
ling, Matched in a flock of ducks,
despised by the mother duck and
all the little ducks for its uncom-
mon ugliness and difference in
looks and manners from them
selves. Only at the last does the
little duckling learn he is really a
beautiful swan, admired by all.
Hans Christian Anderson was an
ugly duckling. He was poor, COM
paratively uneducated, far from
handsome. He lived in a land of
fantasy, imagining himself an &C
tor, later writing plays. People
laughed at him, even after he
achieved some success.
His fairy tales brought him
fame and, like the duckling, peo-

death, and today the entire world
remembers the ugly duckling" as

enthusiasts owe great deal to
the great French painters called
Impressionists. They believed that
to achieve the most brilliant hueS,
only pure colors should be applied
to the canvas. The eye would then
mix them into the desired tint
or shade.
To achieve this blending they ap-
piled their paints, not with strokes
of the brush, but with tiny dots.
American designers of asphalt
shingles have obtained this effect
With the application OF granules
that give color through their thous-
ands of tiny dots, and at the same

Valley Farm Leader Lauds
Feasibility Of Basement Rooms

Are basement rooms feasible?
This is a question asked by a large
number of interested people fol-
lowing the round table discussion
held in the basement of the Charles
Wieman home after the recent tile
drainage demonstration west of
BraWley.
An emphatic yes is the answer
of Wieman, whose house has been
in use for some years and who
found the below ground room par
ticularly comfortable in advance Of
rural electrificationS. Now with
electrical cooling systems possible
the Wiemans still enjoy the base
ment, using only a fan to keep
the air moving.
Plenty of ventilation is neces-
sary when building such room,
according to Wieman. His room,
which is 25 by 40, has ten windows,
all 18 by 80 inches. The floor is
7 feet below ground level with
ten foot ceiling giving plenty of
room for light and air movement.
In building Easements whether
for living rooms such as the Vie
mans or merely for storage, water
seepage must be taken into con-
sideration, warns Wieman. The
cement must be water-proofed. In
the Wieman home this was ac-
complished by coating walls and
floor with a coat of cement fol-
lowed by covering of hot asphalt
and a papering of burlap. Three
such alternating coats of asphalt
and burlap were used with the fl
nal cement finish.
Where the water table is very
bad the basement may have to be
surrounded by a tile drain, but
