By JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

We all are conscious to some
extent of the part color plays
in our lives. Poets use color
to paint a picture or a mood
for us. They write OF the
silver moon, the azure sky
or the blood-red sun, for
example.
We women nave learned
what a tremendous difference
the colors we use in makeup
can make in the way we look.
Interior decorators long have
used colors to create the mood
most'simpatico' and fiattering
to the woman of the house. We
also know that we respond to
the hue of the clothes we are
wearing.
Some colors make us feel
gayer, some younger. some
more sophisticated and some
older. Whenever a color makes
you feel more attractive it
probably is becoming to you
When you receive compliments
over and over again when
wearing a certain outfit, you
can be certain that you should
use that color often.
Scientific Findings
We have known these things
but the real Importance of
color has been highlighted by
scientific investigation which
proves that color has an even
greater impact on our lives
than we once thought.
] have reported before in
this column that soft blues.
green's and blue-greens are
restful while reds are stimu-
lating. For this reason red
never is used in mental hos
pitfalls while blue is effective in
this circumstance as well as in
other hospitals. Blue should
be used in any room at home
which you wish to be restful
because you spend a lot of
time in it.
Some more very interesting
facts have been discovered.
For instance, yellow is a most
valuable shade If used cor
rectly. It has warmth and is
therefore stimulating. 1t has
been found that school chill

dren's grades improved when
the walls were painted yellow.
Naturally this must be a soft,
lovely yellow.
Avoid Certain Shades
On the other hand, certain
shades of yellow can cause a
feeling of nausea. For this
reason 1t is not used in COM
mercial airplanes.
So take color into your
makeup. your clothes, your
home. and to your heart. Color
has an impact on our moods
and our happiness and per-
haps even on our health.

But something of what has
been going on was overheard by
reporters late yesterday during a
loud-talking session between
the union negotiators and Fed
eral mediatorS. It was clear
from what was overheard that:
The union is cool to a three
year proposal. argues this is no
concession" from MANAGEMENT
because the union has never be-
fore signed a contract longer
than two years, with a wage
reopening clause;
The union has been reluctant
to discuss what wage increase it
demands because to set a figure
would only be giving manage
ment negotiators something to
chisel." David j. Mcdonald, the
USW president, wants a 15-cent
hourly pay increase, and time
and a half pay for Sunday work.
Within minutes after these
matters were reported last night,
a union spokesman was seeking
out reporters to give them a
statement that the reports are
absolutely untrue"
There was no immediate COM
ment volunteered by the COM

a steel company spokesman told
newSmen that no new offer has
been made by management ne
