match her draperies to her vinyl floor, and the manufacturer predicts that soon the match-mates also will include upholstery and at-home clothing. In soft floor coverings on display in the Merchandise Mart for the annual June International Home Furnishings Show, the' trend is to strong colors and intricately designed textures. Wool continues the most popular material, accounting for about half the carpetering, but nylon and the acrylic fibers were reported gaining in popularity. The Robbins Co. introduced the coordinated floor and window coverings in a continuous, open design applied identically to the white vinyl and to a sheer batiste type of linen - and - cotton manufactured by Kravet Fabries. The design is made in seven colors—beige, yellow, gray, pink, l gold and two shades of blue. Glenn A. Taylor, vice president of Robbins, said a new line cf vinyl will be developed for the coordinates. The technique will be applied to a full range of materials, he said, from upholstery to fabrics for at - home clothing. / Carpet manufacturers also work hand -in - glove with the drapery industry, to produce harmonizing colors. Blue and green still are high fashion, and at the other end of the color spectrum shades of purple and violet are becoming popular in all price ranges. • Beige has replaced gray as the favorite neutral, according to the American Carpet Institute, with gold a , close second. The trend to area rugs, as opposed to wall-to-wall carpeting, continues, with the rugs available in virtually every shape, from free-form to the traditional rectangular. Many room-sized rugs are fringed. About 30.000 scientists and technicians from 66 nations took part in the International Geophysical Year that ended Dec. 31, 1958, after 18 months.

Revive Memory Os Hoosier Heroines By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Greensburg’s 100th birthday observance, underway this week in the Decatur County seat, has revived memories of two heroines of a rugged yesteryear. One was Mrs. Elizabeth Finnern, who fought as a soldier at the side of her husband during the Civil War, and the other was Mrs. Kate Hyland, who kept a train from toppling through a burnedout trestel. The story of Mrs. Finnern, as recounted by the Greensburg Daily News, is a little-known bit of Civil War history. She disguised herself In a soldier's uniform and appeared at the side of her astounded spouse when she learned his regiment was being hardpushed in a battle not far from a hospital where she worked as a nurse. Her career as a musket-bearing soldier lasted 90 days. After her masquerade was discovered by Gen. John Logan she stayed on as a field nurse. The story is that after her husband was wounded, she killed his assailant and went back to a hospital where she remained until the war ended. The Finnerns made their home in Greensburg following the Civil War and both are buried in that city. He died in 1906 end she in 1907. The train heroine, Mrs. Hyland, was nominated for the first Carnegie Medal ever given in 1904, but she never received it. Carnegie officials felt her knowledge of train signals reduced the risk to her own life?' The incident occurred near Westport on the Southern Indiana Railroad, for which her husband was an engineer. She was aroused early one morning in 1904 by her baby’s cries, and saw the railroad trestle on fire. She knew the flames would be hidden by a blind curve until too late for an approaching train to be halted, so she ran up the track and signaled the engineer with a lantern. The problems of higher education will be reported upon at the biennial convention of the American Association of University Women by a Hoosier —Mrs. Eunice C. Roberts, assistant dean of the faculties and director of women’s educational programs at Indiana University. Mrs. Roberts is chairman of the AAUW’s committee on higher education and a member of the national board. She and several other Indiana women are to leave Thursday for the convention in Kansas City. Dr. Hallie Farmer. Anderson, Ind., first vice president of AAUW and chairman of thfe association’s committee on program development and research, also heads another of the simultaneous discussions planned as the AAUW reviews and plans its activities. After the Missouri meeting, Dean Roberts is to attend the International Association of University Women in Helsinki, Finland, Aug. 3-10. Education mixed with fun will be on the agenda of a week-long program at Indiana University* attended by 900 high school girls, June 20-28. This is the annual Hoosier Girls State, sponsored by the Indiana American Legion Auxiliary, to give the girls practical knowledge of self-government. Mrs. Fred L. Young, Crown Point, is director of the State, with Mrs. Herbert A. Smith, Browns bur; Mrs. R. T. Burton, Kokomo, and Mrs. Harry Erler, Gary, on her staff. Hens Aren't Chickens ELK RIVER, Minn. (UPD— Hens aren’t necessarily henpecked, according to reseachers who found that chickens penned together are constantly fighting to decide who bosses whom. Poultry experts at the Nutrena Feed’s research farm here said the “bosses’* monopolize feed, water and nests, sometimes even cowing the lowly into starvation. Family Circle RUTLAND, Vt. (UPD — Mrs. Emma Johnson sued her daughter and son-in-law for $15,000, claiming injuries suffered when she was sun over by a manure spreader operated by her husband on the young couple’s farm.

Government Bonds Hit By Inflation By LYLE C. WILSON United Frees International WASHINGTON (UPD—What hit that once-prized item, the U.' S. government bond’ What hit that bond so hard that the U.S. Treasury cannot easily sell it to U.S. investors at 4*4 per cent., interest? The first hit was by a charge of buckshot from the U.S. Supreme Court in 1935. The court held that the Treasury need not redeem government bonds in gold. That opinion tied the real value and real interest on U.B. bonds to the real value of the dollar. Since then the dollar has shrunk in real value until it is worth today less than 50 cents, compared with its purchasing power value of 20 years ago. The U.S. dollar has been suffering from a misery called inflation which in those 20 years has eaten up half of the dollar's previous value.

' i The Three Collaborators The Supreme Court decision on gold redemption in itself would not have been so mtfch except for what was beginning to happen just then and what has continued to take place thereafter. Collaborators in these events so harmful to the U.S. dollar were three men, each of whom was a president of the United States. They were: Franklin D. Roosvelt, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Each of these, in turn, presided over the Executive Department of tiie United States when that department and the U.S. Congress were on an inflationary spending spree. FDR and HOT were Democratic presidents and they were, by and large, spenders. Each had a hot war to keep the spending tempo high. DDE is a Republican and, like his immediate predecessors, Eisenhower has a war going although his is cold. A basic difference between FDR and HOT as a pair and DDE as a loner has been that Eisenhower entered the White House with a pledge and determination toward economy

whereas the other two generally took the spending line. AB Show Deficit FDR and HST were high tax presidents. DDE was committed to tax reduction and managed to put one through. In view of these basic differences on taxation and spending, it is remarkable that in his six years of White House service, Eisenhower has collected more in taxes and spent more government money than HOT was able to collect and spend in eight years or FDR to collect and spend in 12. Here’s the box score: Revenue FDR $161,355,000,000 HST $369,021,000,000 DDE $401,356,000,000 Expenditures FDR v $374387,00,000 HOT $395,402,000,000 DDE $421,151,000,000 They all have, in common. Treasury deficits, each having spent more than the Treasury collected. Their combined expenditures aggregate more than one trillion dollars— $1,190,920,000,000. The dictionary defines a trillion

as a digit with 12 zeros appended, xnexr comouxea cuuwwwn are close to one trillion—s9Bl,732,* 000,000. These figures cover the fiscal years 1934 to 1950, inclusive. The real bad news in them is that over time years, the Treasury went into the red for nearly $260,000,000,000. And that is what hit the U.S. government bond and the U.S. dollar the hardest—these years years of big time deficit spending. Fixing the Blame HARTFORD, Conn. (UPD— Commuters, not the trains, were late during one winter snowstorm here. A spokesman foe the New Haven Railroad said commuters complained of mi®«ing trains after hearing on the radio that the trains were running more than an hour late. The spokesman explained > that the trains were late—tor a while—but when they got back on schedule, the commuters didn’t
