Evalua+e
Your Meals
By This Test
BY IDA JEAN KAN

SOMEBODY FIGURED out
the statistics on last years NOR
tality among the dietitians and
came up with the interesting
statement that the life span of
this group would appear TO be
several hundred years.
Out of the 400 members Of
the American Dietetic AsSocia-
ton, there were only nine
deaths-none of these, of course,
from deficiency diets
This was just one healthy
years statistics and the con-
clusior is not to be taken seri-
ously, but it just goes 10 show
what a good diet can do.
Call il longevity, the extern
sion Of the prime of life. or
staying younger longer, the net
result is that life is lived on a
higher level of health.

Accepted Fact

Accept. first. the fact that to
have an effective scheme you
must use color, and lots of il.
The day of anemic cream walls
and taupe Carpeting and placid
pale draperies is past.
Picture in your mind such
room, and contrast il with a
scheme of warm coral walls and
lime carpet and chocolate brown
and lime and W hite printed
draperies.
Picture the former scheme
with its logical furniture, dulled
grays and drab browns and in
Sipld green's. And picture the
latter, with its logical furniture.
rich chocolate and dramatic
coral and perhaps a stripe of
lime and-coral, with sharp white
IN lamps and accessories and
woodwork for contrast.
Which of the two schemes
would you rather have for your
own?
Two Points
To understand color, two
points are essential: First,
how many contrasting colors a
scheme should have, and, second,
in what proportions these colorS
should be used 10 produce a
balanced color scheme.
Generally speaking. every
scheme should have three colors.
and these three colors should be
derivatives Of the primary
shades of red, yellow and blue.
That is. in the example given
above, lime is derived indirectly
from blue. white covers the
yellow corner of the spectrum.
and both coral and brown derive
from red.
For Harmony
Proportioning the amount of
each color 10 achieve a har-
mOnlous balance is simple
matter if you will visualize a
square. Halve this square. and
that half is the dominant shade.
Divide the remaining half
again, producing two quarters of
the original square. One quarter
is the secondary shade. The re-
naming quarter. halved into
eighths Of the original square,
is for light accent and dark
accent
In short the color scheme
given above is balanced by using
lime IN the half-Square. coral in
the quarter-Square, and white
and chocolate in the eights-
square.

 Later in his statement, MT. Stan ton declared that the city admin istration and the town committee must assume the responsibility for anti-labor statements by Senator Blansfield if they support him. They are tarred with the same bruSh," he asserted, if they back a candidate opposed to labor.
 Mr. Stanton announced a plat form containing nine blanks.

best interest of the working man and woman.
 In 1929, I represented this City in Hartford and during that ses- sion of the Legislature, I worked and supported every measure ad- vocated by the Democratic Party. During that session, I was the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives.
 During the last war, I enlisted in the Army and at the present time am on watch in the Wash ington School from 3 o'clock in the morning until 2 o'clock in the morning each Wednesday. This I do willingly in behalf of Civilian Defense, and will continue to do so, whether or not my ticket is victorious.
 If nominated and elected, I promise you, that I will make every effort in behalf of legisla- ton to benefit the working man and woman as well as the tax payer and rent payer.
 It is respectfully asked that you vote the enclosed ticket and urge your friends to do likewise.
 Thanking you, I beg to remain

No opposition to the organiza- tion's slate of delegates to town, state, congressional, probate and shrievalty conventions was offered at a meeting of the Democratic town committee last night. This was in contrast to the 18th and 18th senatorial districts, where rival slates were filed.
 The unopposed delegations will be officially elected Friday. A single ballot will be cast for the slate in each ward. The groups will then meet the 27th.
 Following are the unopposed dele gates:

It appeared for several days that Attorney Tobin would be llnopposed for the nomination, following the withdrawal of ex-Senator Joseph H. Lawlor. However, MT.
