BIS Reports Rents

Ry Roaer c. Whitmon

The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported yesterday that average
rent increases ranged from 1s per
cent to Al per cent in five cities
surveyed, where rent controls re-
Gently were removed.
Largest percentage increases in
rents and the largest proportions
Of dwellings on which rents were
raised were generally in the low
er-rent groups" the agency said.
Surveyed were Eugene. Ore;
Omaha, Nebr.: Oklahoma City,
Okla: Beverly Hills. Calf, and
Wichita. Kans.
In addition, the agency sur
veyed rents in two cities having
State rent control, Milwaukee and
Madison, Wis. In these two cities,
the average rent increase ranged
from IL to 20 per cent.
THE percentage of dwellings
affected by rent increases is some
what higher for rental dwellings
on which rents were free to rise
that is, excluding dwellings under
lease and dwellings decontrolled

things you want in drawers and
will highlight the color of the

In decoration of this type. only
one drapery or curtain material
is used. 1t will be one of the new
translucent or transparent ma
terials, now called easement cloth
for lack of a better name.
These materials have been de-
signed to curtain the vast number
of large glass windows called view
windows. Charming in weave,
yarn blends. with exquisite drap-
ing facilities, these materials do
not compete with the pattern
formed by the outside view. Their
interest lies in their texture and
weave. To emphasize this, the
decorator usually dramatizes them
through contrast.
The same technique is used in

rooms such as this. Irregular high
and low rows of looped and cut
pile made of fine cotton result in
a new type of multicolored tex

practical for floor covering. The
illusion of stripes is particularly
effective against the clear simple
lines of modern furniture. The
colors are selected to blend with

Reasons UnderIie Decorative Rules
BY Gladys Miller
Seeretory, New York Chapter,
American Institute Of Decorators

A decorator furnishing a room
today incorporates many new
techniques which are not realized
by the average observer. The
room turns out to be attractive;
how it got that way often is over
looked.
Should the person who takes
interior decoration for granted
suddenly find he has a new home
on his hands the story is different.
He then wants to know why
some walls are painted different
colors. He never heard of such a
thing. Why is panel lighting in
stalled above the draperies and
the dressing table in a bedroom?
Why are translucent curtains in a
light color hung from ceiling line
to floor? Why is a combination
desk dressing table placed in front
Of the window? Why is the room
size rug woven with a texture?
The answer to many of the
questions is that the decorator is
well schooled in the use of con-
trast to prevent monotony and
triteness. The decorative goal is
simplicity without painless, rest
fullness without dullness.
Many window walls fall into
shadow, making this the ideal
wall to paint a dark green, blue
brown or even black. Properly
lighted to compensate for the
loss of light reflection from the
wall, even the ceiling may be
painted dark.
If the room is large. it is wise
to paint the wall which reflects
the greatest amount of daylight
q light color, even white. 1t is
also wise to use a light-colored
floor covering and light-colored
curtains, bedspread or upholstery
to make up for any reflected light
lost in having the dark walls and
to achieve fresh contrast.
If the home is under construc-
ton, built-in lighting may be in
stalled in the ceiling above the
window and above any storage
pieces. as the light from one will
maintain the effective color con-
trasts of wall and curtaining at

Quite a few of the owners Of
newly built houses have noticed
that the floors seem to have q
great amount of spring to them
After a year or so such a floor

are done in order to save money
in building the house.
The remedy for this condition
is very simple and not at all
costly. The owner should inspect
the underside of the floor and
decide where bracing is required

as it will be plain where the span
