Modern Bedroom
Depends on CoIorino

A bedroom done in modern man
ner depends on its light coloring for
its air of crispness and charm. The
walls are coated with a deep oyster
shell tint, the woodwork is painted
white. Modern furniture is finished
in the new harvest" tone. stunning
against the deepest of red carpets
in textured weave. White Venetian
blinds at the windows are framed
by floor-length curtains of heavy
white material. The bedspread. also
white, is bordered with a fiat tai
Iored hounce of inverted pleats lined
with brilliant tartan plaid in red,
black and gold. The same plaid Is
used as slip cover for the head
board of the bed and a shade for
the white lamp. Loops of it hold the
white draperies. The bedside lamp
has a white shade and the pictures
are framed with fairly large white
frames.

Every house needs a desk and

Half of young America does its

which is an excellent idea for this
little-used room-but the surface Of

three years. Even if we admit this
might be exaggerated is just
possible that they would Go much
better work with desks of their
own with their own equipment at
hand when needed and which need
not be usurped at meal times.
Space Needed Not Large.
Many people feel that they haven't
room for a desk because the room
is not large enough to accommodate
a large. hat-topped business desk.
This need not be the case-as a
space 20 inches square in good
light is room for much to be accom-
plished. Corner desks are most use
full and drop-down desks which look
like the front of chest when not
in use take up little space. Look
over your house for a place where
you may sandwich in a desk that
will pay dividends in pleasure and
work accomplished.
Built-in desks may be designed
in all sizes and shapes to occupy
any available space. Depending on
the size of your space you may have
as little or as much work area as
you need. Planned shelves and
cabinets can be built as integral
parts of the scheme

work bench height with a bank of
drawers at one side will give him
space for study or for handcrafts.

House Pluns SimpIified

The practical necessity of obtain

economy is stimulating marked
changes in today's houses. In plan,
modern houses tend to become more

will Study Technical Questions.
However, it appeared today the
commission has been convinced Of
a demand for cross-toWn. line and
that it would probably order such
route promptly if there were no
question as to the adequacy of that
span. 1t was indicated the COM
mission and its engineers will 60
carefully into technical questions as
to the strength of the Klingle
Bridge, its improvement or replace
ment before reaching a final de-
cision.
Highway Director H. c. White
hurst has advised the commission
he could not recommend use of the
Klingle Bridge for more than $4,000
pounds for any loaded vehicle. He
felt that strengthening of the bridge
would be too costly. Because of the
limited width of the roadway the
question was raised as to whether
there would be DANCE of buses and
automobiles sideswiping.
Regulations Suggested.
Those who favor this route have
argued rule might be adopted for
bidding more than one bus to cross
the bridge at time Others have
suggested that all traffic be con-
trolled and mentioned that large
trucks now cross the bridge while
automobiles are on it.

First Bombs Miss Bridge.
Our first bombs missed the bridge
over which Italians were rushing

running like mad. The air was
filled with the crash of sound and
the scream of wind over wings as
we lifted.
The flax got worse. A hole was
torn in the starboard engine and
cowling oil poured out in jets. but
the engine was still running. There
was huge rent in the port wing.
Our pilot was unhurt, but his
leather suit was ripped and bits
and pieces from the instrument
panel came splitting up in his face.
We dived again at $50 mp.h. on
the clock. The ship screamed and
shook as she nosed nearly onto the
bridge Then we let go. Bits of
that bomb came back and hit the
machine. More trucks went over.
