Simmons, former director has let it he known he does not want the place because of his private business affairs."

How Colors Affect Our Life

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WE have all seen colors best described by the word •‘depressing." but few of us would believe that wdrking in surroundings where such colors predominate could result not only in reduced efficiency but actual physical sickness. And yet, this may very well be true. Dr. Paul Seagers of Indiana University is convinced of it, finding in our poor use of color in our homes, offices, and factories a clue to much of the irritability, depression and slackness attributed by many to the presence of modern living He believes that our emotions and mental health are affected by colors to the same extent as bysounds and odors, and that this emotional disturbance may be reflected in such physical symptoms as headache and nausea. And if certain colors can do harm, others can help. High-strung, emotional people, for example, should work and live in rooms in which the colors are relaxing, while people who tend to be depressed should frequent rooms in which the colors are light and stimulating. For example, in most business offices. the filing cases are dark green, the desks are dark brown, and the walls are a dark color It would he better to have lightcolored furniture and light-color-ed point In school rooms, it has been found that changes along this 'line have prodtKesi «**•••*» unproveaegt ia the work el both teachm

The desire for a Youth Center in Decatur should not die aborning. It may not be possible to finance and build a Community Center, but the outlay for a suitable youth center would not be as great. We have wonderful children in the city and high school youths would like to have a gathering place. .Our . civic spirit should be brought to the fore and plans discussed among individuals and groups toward acquiring or construction of a suitable, inviting place for the teen-agers. The Canteen does not accomodate the crowd and it’s a good sign that such centers are 'popular with youth. Let's do something about a youth center. o— —o Democrat National Chairman McGrath doesn't want anything to do with Henry Wallce and has made it known that he will not I invite the third party back to the Democrat fold. McGrath is a real American and has made the correct decision in respect to Wallace. The Democrats don’t need him and the former cabinet officer, should go peddle his own papers. One of the heartening re- ’ suits from the election is that the man who sought Communist in- ! fluence in his bid as a presidential , candidate received only about onefourth of the number of votes that ! • i he first expected. The voters saw , the sham and turned thumbs down on the disgruntled, frustrated Wai- ‘ t lace. o o Peace Talk: Peace talk from Palestine in recent days has been based on reports of direct negotiations between Israel and the separate Arab governments involved in the fighting. These rumors appeal to logical reasoning, as it now ap pears that only by such negotiations will peace agreements be made. If peace in Palestine should finally come by direct dealings among the states involved, as now seems likely, there doubtless would be a strong general inclination to discount the effects of United Nations intervention. The record of mediation by representative! of the United Nations has not been a brilliant one. On the other hand it should be remembered that until the United : Nations took a hand in it, all efforts to bring present Jewish and ; Arab leaders face to face to talk over their problems had failed. While it cannot be denied that the military helplessness of the United Nations has been distressing in Palestine, there Is no way to measure the effect of the moral force of the international organization in bringing the two warring factions into conversations.

I. i and pupils. ► Not only must colors be consid- " ered. but also lighting. Os course, t all places where people work and b live must be well lit, with not too ► much glare. Experiments have r been carried out to indicate that blue or white light do not stimub late muscular activity. Green, yeli low, and orange increase it to some - extent, and red light is particularly r effective. These colors seem to » have an invigorating effect, both - mentally and physically. ’ Blue and green colors are recoal--1 mended for reception rooms, waiting rooms, and executive offices. In • a room where a great deal of work is carried out. warmer peach ’’ colors, red. and cream color may ► better employed. Os course, things which affect 1 the mental and emotional health also have an effect on the physical ’ health. Thus, it would appear im- • portant from the standpoint of ■ well-being and efficiency that some 1 attention be given to this matter of • color and lighting. * QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS R. C.

"Must we? I thought, last night—" “Not enough, last night Last night 1 learned only this: you were In love with him . . . and are still ... or at least you aren't sure whether you are or not But you will not marry him." “No," she said steadily. "Why ?” “I've told you." “1 don’t think so." She said, after a moment, ‘ln order to know why, 1 would have to talk about myself a good deal" "That’s what I want you to talk about* She said, “My mother was a remarkable person, and never very strong . . . she drove herself until it killed her.

had always known, who wanted to marry her?" 1 "And she wouldn’t?” 1 "She couldn't She didn’t know i if her husband was dead or alive, otherwise she might have," Gail I said evenly, “because he had money. Not a great deal, but he i would have made us comfortable." Brad said, "I see. She never ; made any inquiries about your i father?" "Later, -ome time after the man l who knew him came to see us. 1 That was here in New York, not ■ long before her death. She wrote to all the hospitals In Chicago, but they replied there had been no one by that name . . .” "Perhaps 1 could find out" He took a little card from his pocket, and a pencil. “When was this?" “During the winter, four years ago. 1 was through high school, and tn business school We were living in furnished rooms. My mother had been working for some tune as agent for a special type of corset . . . She died just before the new year, shortly after 1 had taken a job in an advertising agency.” “You loved her a great deal?” "Yes, 1 was so sorry for her,” said Gail, "so sorry"She wouldn’t wish you to carry such a buroen,” he said oddly. Gail was silent She said, "All our lives together ... we had no home, not even at grandfather's. 1 mean, she was the sort of woman who needed a home, her own, her own things around her. We came to new York by degrees; the Kansas town first, then other towns where she had friends who tried to help but couldn’t, much. Furnished rooms, rackety little hotels . . ." He said, “You didn’t tell me your father’s name." “Morrison Rogers." He wrote It down and put the card away. He asked, "You have no picture of him?" "She had ... I destroyed it. He was very big. wide shouldered His hair was dark red, his eyes were blue . . . She told me that." “Why did you destroy it, Gail?” “1 had always hated him for what he did to my mother." "And she? You said she hated i him, too.” “Yes, but she was still in love with him. She tried ... not to be. She didn't want to be.” "So you don’t want to be," he said quietly, "with anyone, not even Sam?" “Especially not with Sam." She looked down at the dark fluid in her coffee cup. She said, "My mother asked me to promise by . . . that I would never marry for love. That I would marry for money. Not, of course, quite ao i brutally. All she wanted, she said, was that 1 be safe. She said, ‘You're never safe i/ yon love someone.'" “1 see." He was quite a moment, thinking. Then he said, "We may be able to trace your father, Gail Although we haven't much to go on, just a secondhand description and a name which, very likely, he didn't use." She said, her face strained »nd white. "It doesn’t matter. Now you know what Tm like. Brad.”

■ ' u "Not yet, not altogether. But 1 know you are lovely, that you have been hurt, that you are honest. It’s enough to go on." She said, “Brad, you can’t be in love with me.” “Why not? 1 find it extremely easy," he told her, smiling. He said, “1 will be honest with you, also. 1 have few illusions about myself. I’m a very average man . . . amiable enough, intelli- I gent, fortunate in a job I like and can do well, and which 1 earned ... in the sense that it couldn't be bought 1 am not a businessman. My inheritance is managed for me. When 1 say 1 would be equally happy without the inheritance 1 mean it. I have a few close friends. 1 have been in love once only—unless you count an unrewarding romance when 1 was about ten . . . There have been, now and then, the peccadilloes we discussed last night; they were of no moment, but it ts comfortable to look back on generosity. There might have been women who'd fall in love with me- -as 1 have with you—heart over head—but 1 didn’t happen to meet them. Shall 1 give you time, Gail? Till, let us say, the spring? Time to be with me, to talk, to argue, to know each other a little? You see, when you have a great deal of money and no, as the posters say, added attraction, you expect, if you marry, that the money will be the factor. Therefore, should you fall in love with someone who seenu. to be all you ever wanted and is honest tn addition, you’ve been rewarded beyond your most absurd hopes.” "What would you expect of—such a girl?” she asked. "Os such a wife? Companionship, affection, fidelity. Is that the catch ? Sometimes a maa, or woman, isn't faithful, even to someone he, or she, loves." "You ask very little, Brad." "That’s a delusion. I ask nearly everything." “Why ot me?" she said helplessly, and a little frightened. "1 don’t know, it you’re in iove, you don't know why." She said, "I don’t—l didn’t know why with Sam. He ia all I’ve ever wanted—l mean, with my reason." “Love’s not reasonable," said Brad, "not fair. I’m not. I offer inducements, and am aware ot it. More so after learning about your childhood, about your mother. She was on my side.” "I know.” She was white again, and he asked, "Shall I take you home now?" She nodded, he spoke to the waiter, signed the check, and they left the restaurant But as a cab drew up and the doorman stepped forward, Gail asked, "Let’s walk, shall we? It’s a wonderful night” "If you wish," he said, "but you wear such foolish shoes!” It was good to walk; the autumn air a as cool, it held the electric quality that is Manhattan's own.
