The things you can do yourself
are most important In making your
house cool for summer. The light,
colorful, washable fabrics that make
your summer dresses are equally
interesting as background for you,
in summer clothes for your house.
Slip covers, ruined bedspreads,
sprigged muslin curtains at the
windows are all part of the summer
scene and yours for q song, when
you can do 1t yourself.
This summer the smart woman
will fit harmoniously into the color
scheme she has chosen In fabrics to
decorate her home. Curtains and
bedspreads in her boudoir will blend
with her negliges just as the gay
chintz in the summer living room
will repeat the soft pastel shades of
her linen sport dresses or her cool
summer slacks. The trend today of
silks, satins. cretonnes, chintz and
other materials homemakers find so
useful for successful interior decora-
ton Is toward the favorite and FASH
ionable hues dressmakers are using
for this seasons gowns.
The dusty rose, champagne. rose
beige, powder green, sleeping blue,
turquoise, coral and other pastel
shades so fashionable now for
dresses and hats are equally as lovely
for the walls of your home, with
floor covered in deep browns, or deep
tones Of these same colors for con-
trast. Stripes-the seasons favor
ite for sport clothes-may be re-
peated in glazed chintz for slip
covers, summer draperies and the
like.
If you find 1t necessary to hold to
the dignified interior in spite Of the
warm weather you will find the ele-
gance Of Chinese Chippendale design
and the dignity Of regency in light
weight, soft-colored textiles that are
equally as appropriate with antique

DES MONIES, Iowa, May IL
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace de-
clared here today that If the Presi-
dent should make himself unavail-
able for third term, "the man who
makes the race must stand for the
Roosevelt New Deal"
Mr.. Wallace in q prepared keynote
address for his home States Demo-
cratic convention asserted that Mr..
Roosevelt has proved himself to be
q real friend Of agriculture, labor
and business"
Praises Roosevelt Foreign Policies.
Referring to the spreading Euro
pean conflict, he added that with
the emergency as 1t is today, we
should hate to face the thought of
giving up the services Of such an
outstanding leader who, we know,
can lead us to victory.
mo man has available for the
service Of the Nation such q unique
combination Of qualities as Franklin
D. Roosevelt. No man so completely
understands the twists and turns
and tricks Of European politics. No
man is 50 familiar with the needs
and methods Of national defense. No
man is more anxious to keep this
country out Of war"
Raps G. O. r. Farm Proposals.
Mr.. Wallace condemned farm pro-
posals made by the Republican
party's candidates, saying:
TN the current campaign Taft,
Dewey and Gannett have already
shown how deep is their interest in
winning the Iowa farmer and how
great is their ignorance concerning
him"
Referring to Thomas E. Dewey's
farm address at Marshalltown, Iowa,
q week ago today, Mr.. Wallace said
that while the New York district
attorney seems to favor the differ
ent parts of the farmers program,
he is really making their program
the object of a most vicious attack.
He is following the example of most
OF his Republican rivals for the
presidential nomination"
