Danger Of Falls
On Sliding Rugs
By D. M. Derwin

In the home where loose rugs
are used over highly polished
floor surfaces, the possibility of
accident due to slipping and slid
ing are always present.
Falls as a result of slipping on
scatter rugs account for large
share of home accidents.
Now available is a new type
of rug cushion which adds nom
skid safety to the advantages
usually sought after in rug un-
derlay-protection of the rug and
easier walking.
This new type rug cushion COM
bines pure rubber-coated surfaces
with a center of blended fibers
to give maximum walking COM
fort and also to prolong the life
of the rug or carpet under which
1t is placed.
Both surfaces of this rug cuSh-
ion are rubberized and in addi-
tion one surface is waf1ed. All
this acts as an effective nonskid
beneath loose rugs of every type.
With this rug cushion, any loose
rug lies f1atter, does not creep
or bunch and when walked on,
does not have as great a ten
dency to shift and slide.
With its Shock-abSorber CEN
ter, it also deadenS sound and in
sulateS against draft. 1t is very
easy to install and comes in va
riouS widths.

Chairs Can Help or Harm Posture
By Gladys Miller
Secretary, N y. Chapter
American Institute Of Decorators

People have been sitting on
chairs for many a century, but
every year designers turn their
hands to creating and designing
chairs which will have new fea-
lures.
The chairs may provide more
comfort, better posture, have a
more interesting silhouette-thev
may even be made in what is
known as "knockdown construc-
ton" so that the cost of shipping
is decreased and you can have
the chair for less money.
OF course. your husband or the
man across the hall, must be able
to put the chair together. This
task is considered easy by each
new designer, but to make sure
you have no trouble, a detailed
chart is sometimes provided with
chairs of this type.
Just such chair is turned out
in five wood finishes and a choice
of fine upholstery colors. The up
holstery is a washable plastic ma
terial Stimulating leather.
Because you know chair when
you see one, don't thing for a
moment that selecting one for
your own use is as simple as it
appears. After you have pur-
chased one, do you know how to
sit on it to avoid the three chair
sitting enemies, the Slouch, the
Hunch and the Sprawl?
A good figure presupposes the
proper weight, height and good
posture. The latter can be ruined
by poor sitting habits.
Miss Vera Appleton. a pianist
who has to sit long hours practic-
ing and yet has to appear at her
best on the concert stage, has
worked out some excellent point
ers for all who take pride in their
appearance. AS a decorator, I be-
lieve that good furniture is one
thing, its proper use another. So
I'm passing on to you Miss Apple
tons pointers and my challenge
to you to select your chairs With
thoughtful caution,

80, 900 Dwellings
Started in January
For New Record

The Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics reported this week that
home e-building during Janu-
ary was higher than in any
similar month on record.
During January more than
10000 non-farm dwellings
were started by builders
throughout the country, ac-
cording to BIS estimates.
This was an increase of 1000
units over December's total,
and 10000 units-or so per
cent-more than in January
last year.
Last month also was the
seventh consecutive month in
which me-building activity
showed an increase over the
corresponding month of the
previous year.

develops a hump on the back OF
the neck and wrinkles on her
forehead.
The SLOUGH lets her shoulders
drop. and the Sprawl doesn't sit
sufficiently straight.
To help. prevent these faulty
sitting habits, purchase a chair
the right height from the floor
for you and your task. Be sure
that you can sit on the chair with
your feet close together and fiat
on the floor.
The back Of the chair should
have the right pitch so that your
shoulders can rest on it in re-
laxed position. Actually you
should never be conscious of the
back. 1t is just there in case you
need it.
With the proper chair, the
working day will not be as long,
or the task as difficult.

Planned Here

Community Dollar Day sales
will be held in Marysville Friday

with practically all merchants in
town participating. 1t is a revival
of some Of the sales that were

tail value.
A good response by the buying
public will bring about more of
these sales in the future with
similar savings for the customers.

Lola Celli Case
Is Still Mystery

The case of the beautiful West

Cell, is just as much a mystery
today as it was four years ago
when she disappeared.
Miss Cell, lovely honor gradu-
ate of Ohio State University,
dropped completely from sight
Feb. %, 1916, after she left her
Grandview home in suburban
Columbus for a downtown shop
ping trip.
Grandview Police Chief Rob-
ert R. Livingston said today:
There's nothing new as far as
we know. There hasn't been any
thing new for better than a year.
There are no new leads and all
those that have been submitted
have been pretty well exhaust
ed"
However, Livingston said he
will not mark the case CLOSED"
He said:
1T is laying pending in our
files"
Police throughout the nation
were called in on the search for
the flashing-eyed girl with the
wide smile, but all clues proved
to be false.
Livingston said if there was
any violence connected with the
girls disappearance cts a per-
feet example of the perfect
crime"
