DO NOT USE TOO MUCH CRETONNE IN A ROOM I x m [rEl=L ifFy ’ ■ JI ff : S, - JLii-Mte=/ Cretonne* are good, but do not overdo them In the advice of the Interior decorators. In a room with a flgurejj wall covering or a patterned rug. even a very attractive cretonne strikes a wrong note. The room shown In the sketch affords a very pleasing effect gained by using a chintz patterned papei hung In panels, white ruffled curtains and ivory woodwork and furniture. A taupe carpet covering the entire floor is a new touch.

TO MAKE HALLWAY PLEASING TO EYE innsz ' Wk i\lll ii xT T ? XULi. r This attractive hallway was furnished with a golden oak drojeleaf table from a department store, a chair from the attic and an old mirror. If you are not good at drawing, take any design that will fit the spaces on the furniture, prick holes with a large pin, around the outlines of the flowers and, placing the design face down on the furniture, dust powdered chalb through the holes. The design if thus transferred to the surface and can be painted in with oil paints. FRAMES HARMONIZE WITH FURNISHINGS r '"~" ' \ r? l i fl [ ! 1 / N (■I I ■ I ... - £.T-, m pi« y

I HAND-BRAIDED RUGS ARE EASY TO MAKE o \ Cyo v- / Hand-braided rugs of the old-fash-ioned variety are more easily made than many people think. The rags are torn about three Inches wide, and the edges tunrad In as they are braided. The braid is then coiled in the center and sewn flat, or, for the oval rugs, two parallel rows serve as a center. Always keep the rugs as flat as possible. The round rugs at the top of the sketch are blue ami white with blue borders. The middle one Is made of scraps of cretonne and colored ginghams, and the lower one of tan and black stockings.

The People’s Voice (Contributed) ECUCATION SURVEY (Written by Vance Prather in Evansville Courier, under date of Jan. If.) . We can think of nothing better, in the brief introductory space allotted to us today, than the recent defense of the Indiana school survey, as written by Mrs. Martha P. U. Derbyshire, president of the Indiana Par-ent-Teacher association, and reading in part, as follows: "Indiana is now over 100 years old: it is time her people were hearing facts at first hand, or such as is given by the survey. Parents and other people of the communities want to know the' truth about our schools. We do not trust to our own knowledge when our children are ill. but consult the trained specialist and follow his adviceS. "When our schools are ill—as they may be. to have fallen so far behind —it is our duty, as good citizens. to apply the remedy recommended by the school specialists. The survey recommends a state board of education composed of seven (7) members. with the state superintendent as its executive officer: it further recommends assistants to help him. This is not a new idea in Indiana. This superintendent and divisions do not do ‘construction' work but 'constructive' work.

"1 resent the suggestion that our school officials arc represented as grafters and trying to sell false ideas to the people for gain. Our educators, are hind always have been, the civilizers of the world. It is up to the people to uphold the governor and school officials: they are honestly striving to give every child an equal chance. If the children suffer, so does the entire state. Below, we are- pleased to add an additional list of expressions from educators who actively at work, “on the job.” of making of the "children today, citizens tomorrow." o H. 11. Heaton, who yesterday plead guilty to forgery and was given a sixty-day sentence, is a grandson of the man who nominated Taylor for president. He carries letters from his ancestors several of whom, according to his story, were leading citizens.
