Primary Cost Saved, ,

Face House Fight
Republican Is Named
In Sixth District to
Oppose Woodrum
By the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 5.-Al-
though saved the expense and
trouble of a Democratic primary
campaign by lack of opposition
within the party. at least four Vir-
ginia Representatives will have Re-
publican foes in November.
Fred w. McWane of Lynchburg
was nominated by sixth district
Republicans Saturday to oppose
Representative Woodrum, veteran
Of l8 years in Congress.
Mr.. McWane was the fifth con-
gressional nominee by the Virginia
Republicans, but George L. White
of Richmond, the choice of the
third district convention to op-
pose Representative Satterield, an
nounced he had decided to decline
the nomination.
Mr., McWane promised a vigor-
Gus campaign when the sixth dis
trict convention nominated him
unanimously.
Other Republicans in the field in
clude Jacob CARRIER of Harrison
burg opposing Representative Rob-
ertson in the 7th; Col. Henry B.
Goodloe of Charlottesville opposing
Representative Smith in the 9th,
and State Senator Fred C. Parks of
Abingdon opposing Representative
Flanagan in the 9th.
Mr.. White said the real issue of
the approaching campaign was the
"third-term precedent" and that in
view of this he did not believe that
we should permit local contest to
obscure the real and vital ISSUES of
this campaign"
The Nominations Committee of
the district convention may be called
together shortly to consider Mr..
Whites action.
Had the Democratic incumbents
In the House and Senate faced intra-
party opposition, Democrats would
have gone to the polls tomorrow to
ratify their choices. Elimination of
the primary will save the localities
some $4,000. District committees
will declare the incumbents the con-
gressional nominees and the State
Committee will do the same for

Of this color, mixed with the white
paint for the walls, helps to create

Stronger Tones Used.
More daring. and requiring the
handling Of an experienced deco
rator, are walls in stronger tones, as,
for example, a formal living room
with walls painted medium green
and the trim In white. A dining
room has definitely blue walls,
another terra Gotta. One notes a
tendency to have the carpet the
same color as the walls, but in q
darker tone. One decorator, how
ever, uses mustard yellow walls with
rose carpet.
Fortunately, fabrics can be found
In these new, soft tones, and the
modern way of using plenty of mir
ror glass and crystal accessories
in room helps to give them an al
Turing sparkle. Sometimes the space

fashion ragged "up North" after 1860,
and every one who could afford it
decorated their houses with small
balconies under deep windows or
added a covered porch with iron
trellis. Often the iron itself was cast
in the form of grapevines or flower
motifs, and over that trailed real
wistaria or other climbing shrub.
A Fashion Again.
This fad is now the fashion again,
and with the fashion the manufac-
turers have unearthed the old molds,
so that you may have a fence or
porch after the manner of 1890, or
you may indulge in the modern de-
sign of 1910. There are many very
beautiful fences and gates made of
wrought iron, delicate and beauti-
fully designed individually for the
place it is to occupy. Hand wrought
iron is one of the oldest arts, and in
the 18th century was done with the
precision and exquisite detail that
would ordinarily be given to finer
metals such as bronze and silver.
Modern artists in metal are creating
beautiful works again, and among
them are gates, window grilles and

event exceed the amount which the
administrator estimates will be the
cost of the completed physical i'm

by Section 207 Co CD of the act
and Section II, paragraph of the
regulations), including the admins
traitors estimate of the deprecated
reproduction cost of salvageable
existing Improvements.
Rents to Be Lower.
3. No mortgage shall be eligible
unless the administrator estimate
of the cost of new physical improve
ments shall be equivalent to at least
so per cent of the mortgage to be
insured.
4. The mortgage shall not exceed
30 per cent of the aggregate of the
administrators estimates of (a) the
cost of the new physical improve

Decorators CoIors

As Well as Costumes

Decorators colors for this seasons
rooms are surprisingly close to the
colors of women's dresses. Colored
sketches and photographs Of rooms
done by the members of the Ameri-
can Institute of Decorators revealed
this fact in recent exhibition. The
members of this organization-whose
very membership shows they are at
the top of the ladder-are using with
great success some of the soft pastels
so much in favor for resort and eve

flattering to hostess complexion as

These new wall colors, while soft.
are we'll defined and are not at all
like the so-called neutral colors Of
few years ago, which were neither
one thing or the other. For all their
intrinsic charm, however, they have
the virtue of adaptability and are
easy to combine with a wide range of
colors in curtain and upholstery
fabrics and in both plain or figured
carpets ana rugs.
Pale Blue a FavOrite.
Pale blue is evidently favorite.
One room with pale blue walls shows
ashes of roses window curtains with
sofa covered in slightly deeper
rose. A pale yellow chair gives dis
tinguished accent, reinforced by
carpet which is deeper blue than

for the walls of this group of smartly

Both Games with Pasc0
To Be in Local Gym

Pasco and Kennewick officials
have agreed to play both basketball
games this year in the local Kenne-

unable to care for the crowd and is
unsafe from q players standpoint.
The first game will be played at
Kennewick on January II, and the
second game at Kennewick on Feb
ruary l6. Since the game January
IL was supposed to be Pasco's game,
the Kennewick season tickets will
not be good, but they viii be hon
ored at the game on February is,
which is Kennewick,s home game.
The two teams this year appear to
be quite evenly matched. Pasco has
two exceptionally tall boys, both
around six foot four, and should
have decided height advantage.
however, the Lions will depend up
on their speed to out score the Bull
dogs.
Remember to keep this date, jan
uary II, open for the annual Ken
newick-Pasco basketball game.
