NEW YORk-The eastern sea-
board Is greatly disturbed by the
statements from Secretary Harold
L. Ickes that gasoline-less Sundays
aren't unlikely this autumn. The
public demands to know why the
department of state permits tank
ers to be used to ship oil to Japan
instead of using those same tank
ers TO ship needed supplies to the
Atlantic seaboard.
While it's true that American
oil is being shipped to Japan. all
the fuel is being transported in
either Japanese navy tankers or
japanese merchant tankers. No
American boats are available for
that service. Since the diversion

are now available only about 21o
tankers to supply the Atlantic sea-

but will be confirmed by the proper
authorities. The Japanese receive
about 1.25o. 900 barrels Of Ameri-

Color Improves
Architectural
Lines OF Home

Brown roof and upper walls, VIII
tie body, caves and trim, make this
house seem lower and longer
How clever use of color can vastly
improve the exterior lines of home,
and how standard paint colors prop
erly used, can transform drab and
uninteresting room into gay and
inviting retreat, are shown for the
first time in a giant collection of
color photos which has just been
placed on display at Duncan Broth
ers. According to this local paint
dealer, the color portfolio will be lent
to those planning to redecorate dur
ing the coming weeks.
Known as the Paint and Color
Style Guide, this collection of hum
dreds of huge color-photos on pages
two square-feet in area was compiled
by the Decorative Studios of Sher-
win Williams Co., Cleveland paint
manufacturers. Because the color
photos show beautifully painted
rooms and homes in their actual COL
ors, much can be learned about the
use of color from study of the port
folio, the local point men say.
For example, top-heavy houses can
be made to look lower by painting
roofs and upper portions in dark
colors and by accenting horizontal
trim with light colors. Ceilings can
be raised" by using light-colored
paint, and long, narrow rooms can be
squared" by painting end walls in
warm, positive colors. Bathrooms
can be warmed" by using rose or
other warm colors, while kitchens
can be cooled" by using blue, blue
green or gray blue, the experts ex-
plain.

Conditioned Bed Is
Latest for Sleepy Folk

Invention of an air-conditioned bed
has been announced at the Univer-
sity of Washington in Seattle.
The bed warns a person in winter
and cools him in summer. He dials
his own weather for the night with
knob at the head of the bed.
An air-cushion under him and a
new form of air-blanket over him
makes this possible. The air-cuSh-
ion affords, furthermore, another
easily installed possibility.
If father won't get up when called,
mother downstairs may press but
ton, and plop goes fathers air-cush-
ion.
The inventor, DR.. F. K. Kristen,
famous aeronautical engineer, esti-
mates the new bed can be manu-
featured for less cost then present
high class beds.
The bed is a sheet metal box,
minus top. Over this open space
is stretched fabric sufficiently air.
tight to form good cushion when
the box is filed with compressed
air.
But the fabric is also porous
enough to permit slow seepage of
this compressed air, whether
warmed or cooled, up and around
the sleeper.
Asbestos lines the steel interior,
and an electric heating tube in the
box warns the air. If cooling is
wanted, it is only necessary to turn
down the heater, for the air always
comes into the box cooled automati-
cally by expansion.
The compressed air comes from a
basement tank, at $50 pounds per
square inch. In the bed this pres
sure reduces to only one-quarter
pound square inch. The expan.
sion automatically reduces the tenn.
perature to So fahrenheit.
The bed was designed specially
for use in hotels and large estab.
iShments.

Tree-Ring Patterns Date
Prehistoric Artifacts

To the uninitiated the methods by
which Psychologists determine the
age of the various things they dig up
are often mysterious, especially
when the material antedates civil
zation's written records.
One of the methods is dendro-
chronology-or the use of tree rings,
as an archaeological calendar-which
has been successfully applied in dat
ing prehistoric artifacts excavated
from sites in the American South
west.
The method originated with an
astronomer who very much wanted
weather records extending back
much farther than existing statis-
tics. This astronomer, DR.. A. E.
Douglass, director of the Seward OBJ
servatory, University of Arizona at
Tucson, required weather records
that would tell the relation between
sun spots and the earth's atmos-
phere.
In his need, he hit upon the fact
that trees add ring for each year
of growth and that these rings vary
according to the moisture supplied
to the trees by rain and snow. Wet
years produce broad rings, and dry
years narrow rings.
By careful study of hundreds of
these trees, DR.. Douglass has de-
rived an unbroken succession of tree
ring patterns giving a continuous
weather record for his section of the
country for more than 1900 years.

RADIANT LIVING
Might as Well Laugh
BY Rev. c. Nj. Griffeth
CeciltOn, Md.

The other evening 1 was thrown
into contact with a certain situation
that impressed me deeply. At GER
tain social function one of the wo-
men present was suddenly and unex-
pectedly placed in a most embarrass-
ing situation before a number of per-
sons.
The usual reaction would have been
to have felt sighted, to become
peeved, to make a complaint. But
not this person. She laughed it all
off as a joke. Somehow, she saw the
funny side of it, and we all laughed
with her.
But this was not the only time that
something uncomfortable must have
happened to her. There must have
been many other such occasions
which she met in the same good ma
tured way. Without doubt these
past experiences enabled her to meet
this one so easily and so gracefully.
It was habit that she had cultivated.
The dominant attitude which each
one has is after all matter of hab-
it that has been cultivated. You are
either an optimist or pessimist,
largely as a matter of habit that has
been either unconsciously developed
or deliberately cultivated.
While it is true that you may at
| times cross over to the other side Of

the street, you are generally found
walking along either it's sunny side or
it's gloomy side.
1t is just as easy to walk on the
sunny side and so much more pleas
ant.
Life is something like the weather.
We have to take it as it comes.
Grumbling about rainy day doesn't
make it clear off. We might as we'll
laugh about the unpleasant weather.
And while you are laughing about
it there will be others who will catch
the encouragement of your merri-
ment.
And in the meantime it may clear
off.

Spring Models

Timed to be a salute to spring,
Chevrolet announces "Colorcade of

nouncement was made in Detroit this
week by William E. Holler, general
sales manager.

Likewise, tan or green upholstery is
available with Ridge Green, Admiral

The new blue and green upholstery
fabrics are distinctive in shade, high
lighted by a harmonizing stripe that
lends added richness to the material.

tinctive, personalized vehicle.
