Women Have Changed Ideas
About Decoration CoIors

CANTON. OHIO-During the
past three years, women have
changed. Not psychologically,
but certainly in the matter Of
taste in decoration.
You can't sell tie little woman
those tenement ans" anymore
when she decides to redecorate
her house.
No, indeed! Take it from Spen-
e Stuart, Chicago promotion
manager for a paint firm:
During the period from 1945
to 1949 women's taste in interior
decoration changed. Now they
want greens and grays for their
living-room walls. And they want
CHEEKY yellows for their kitch-
ems.
Before the war, Stuart said,
the nations housewives wanted
colors like cream, ivory. buff
and putty. These. are the tnts
called tenement tans."

TWO BANK ASSETS
OVER s7h MILLION

by Raymond Peterson, president of
the American Bankers association,
and chairman of the board, First
National Bank and Trust Com
pany, Paterson, N. j., to discuss
bank credit policies that will serve
the needs of the individual COM
munity in the current period of
economic uncertainty.
"The nation approaches 1850
with the most complex economic
conditions" Peterson said in an
nouncing the credit conference.
"The past year has been marked
by conflicting p~ressures toward de-
flation on n hand and toward
still more initiation on the other.
While some industries have ex-
perienced rising production and
rising prices, there have been dis
locations and increased unem-
ployment in others.
at is important that banks
maintain their flexibility under the
present conditions. By remaining
flexible in their policies, the ma
TONS banks can help fight further
initiation by channeling credit into
productive uses, and help prevent
a serious deflation by continuing
to meet the credit needs of Amer
lean farming, industry, and bust
ness.
"The national credit conference
in Chicago will bring together
bankers from every part of the
country for a critical analysis and
appraisal of the current economic
conditions. The conference will
provide the bankers with a wealth
of information for their guidance
III terms of the prospects for 1862"
The attendance of Laurel and
Columbus bankers at the confer
ence will enable them to continue
tc formulate their policies not only
in the light of local economic con-
ditions, but with adequate infor-
nation OF the national situation

Movies Held to Blame
For Many Broken Homes

NEW YORK.-Husbands DOM
make love like the movie actors
do, and that's what ruins marriages.
That seems to be a rather bizarre
statement, but Alfred E. Johns.
who specializes in patching up
broken homes, declared the movies
are making his job twice as diff
cult as it would be if the movies
presented domestic life realistical-
ly.
Hollywood, he AYERS, is break
ing up many marriages by making
wives dissatisfied and giving hus-
bands inferiority completes.
Husbands just don't make love
the way screen heroes do" Johns
said. THE movies make married
life seem glamorous and real life
wives are disappointed in what they
find.
"Everybody's either rich in the
movies, or gets rich. Wives start
nagging their husbands If they don't
get rich, too"
And things are getting worse, in
stead of better, on the matrimonial
front, Johns said. He's found a di-
rect relationship between the num-
Der Of divorces and the number Of
movies persons go to see.
The happiest married men. &C.
eording to a survey, he said. are
chemical engineers. They are
homebodies who prefer unimagina-
tive books to fabulous movies. Sec
ond on the list are ministers. Next,
in order, come college professors,
teachers and engineers.
Doctors are 18th on the list,
bankers 18th and newspapermen
18th. At the bottom of the list are
travelling statesmen and laborers.
Johns said they see lots of movies
and 20 do their wives.
Movies and novels never give q
realistic approach to marriage"
he added. They make Life CLAM
orous and Elamor may be good for
the eye. but It's very bad for the

Trio With Ideal

NEW YORK.-Three men with an
ideal, a formula and a lot of old
rags have a big job cut out for
themselves. They'd like to give a

Baumgarten; jeweler Alexander
Macy, and chemist Wurt Wasser.

but all three are ~naturalized Amer

came in.
The trio decided they'd like to
do something to show just how
much they love America. 1t was
Macy who translated the desire in
to a natural project.
He'd been a sailor and. later,
navigator on ships sailing all over
the world. Each time he put into
New York harbor he couldn't help
seeing how dirty Miss Liberty was.
Statue Now Corroded
Actually, the statue, which was
put up in 1885, hasn't been cleaned
since. What was once %glistening
bronze is now corroded and green.
Chemist Wasserman says there's be-
tween an eighth and a fourth of an
inch Of %corrosion On the statue.

Wasserman.

Macy.
What made their plan to clean
the statue a practical one is the for
mula, a c~oncoction they put to-
gether to help them in their pro-
f~essions. Both Baumgarten and
Macy had felt the need for a better
liquid polishing agent, for brighten

lain false teeth Baumgarten makes.
