Pretty Room
Keeps Occupant
Contented

There is nothing more heart
warming than a pretty room. Much
has been said about smartness,
sickness and all the new fashion
trends that keep us on our toes,
but for true satisfaction a room.
especially a bedroom, that welcomes
with sheer prettiness goes a long
way toward producing contentment.
If you like pink, do the walls OF
your own room in that color. Build
against this with a delightful chintz
that is pretty with flowers. Put
ruffles on your draperies and your
dressing table if you like 1t that way.
Put your favorite books and maga-
zines close to your bed so you may
read and rest at the same time.
Have a window sill with potted
plants on it-their bright blossoms
will give you pleasure whenever you
walk into the room.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

To trade an island of less thai
q square mile for another island OF
1920 square miles would seem to be
q good bargain for the owner OF
the small island.
That trade took place in the year
1890. Great Britain owned the small
island called "Helgoland" (often
spelled 'tHehgoland'D. 1t was turned
over to Germany in exchange for
Zanzibar, which lies OF the coast
OF Eastern Africa.
Strangely enough, the trade did
not turn out well for the British.
The little island in the North Sea
proved more important In world
affairs than the big one in the
Indian Ocean.
Great Britain had been the owner
of Helgoland for more than 80
years. Before it became British, it
had belonged to Denmark.
At the time of the trade with
Germany. it was the home of peace
full fsher-folk. Then came the Ger
mans, who used the island in two
ways. They made 1t summer re-
sort to q greater extent than it had
been before, and they also turned
1t into fortress.
Today the island has lost the
beaches which used to exist around

the Germans ran down to a depth
of 100 feet below sea level. The
tunnels were lined with thick IRON
and-concrete walls.
In the First World War the Ger
mans used Helgoland as base for
their U-boatS. The submarines
Travelled from there into the At
lantic Ocean, and took a. heavy toll
OF vessels passing to and from Great
Britain.
In the present war, Germany
has U-boat bases on the French
coast and other points along the
mainland edge Of Europe. Helgo-
land does not play 50 great q part as
before, but 1t still remains Of help
to the Germans. Its steep cliffs
rise to a height of more than 200
feet. The fortress guards one ap-
