LITTLE THINGS COUNT IN THE HOME PERFECT Ross Crane Demonstrates Harmony of Properly Decorated Aesidence. That after all It’s the little things that count, particularly in home decoration, was demonstrated by Ross Crane, the better homes apostle, in his opening lecture yesterday afternoon at Tomlinson hall. Even a book, he declared, can throw a discordant note into the harmonious color scheme of a whole room if it is the wrong color. This the lecturer demonstrated by intro iueirTg a gaudy-covered volume into his first setting. The audience—even those who had no particular notion of art principles—could see that something was wrong, but not until the offending book was removed did it seem to occur to any one out in front just what it was. Then a sigh of relief was plainly audible. One fact which Mr. Crane emphasizes most vigorously is that a thing of beauty doesn’t "go out.” When it has lost its charm through, years of service or for other reasons, ho said, it is no longer beautiful and should be discarded. He scoffed at the popular idea of "comings” and "goings" with regard to style, as arbitrarily fixed by so-called fashion arbiters. The diagonally-placed rng also received a severe jolt, the lecturer illustrating bis point by hanging a picture crookedly on the wall. “It would be Just as sensible and artistic to hang a picture at a crooked angle,” snapped Mr. Crane, “as to place a rug that way. Every rug. picture and, in fact, everything that goes into a room, should be placed so as to follow the structural lines of the room. The only exception to this rule Is a phonograph, which may be placed diagonally across the corner, for reasons of sound distribution and no other.” The four fundamental principles of art in the home are color, form, line and texture. Such colors *9 red. orange and yellow are warm, and blue, green and lavender have a tendency ta lower the temperature of a room. The first law of color, he added, is the more space, the less color. He declared that color should be Introduced Into the furnishing of a room by “splashing" it on. For instance, a large rug should never be so gaudy as to be conspicuous. “If it says ’hello’ to you when you enter the room,” said Mr. Crane, “it is wrong. Get rid of it.” Last night the artist talked on “Art vs. Aunt Matilda” in which he Introduced a setting literally crammed with ridiculous furnishings. Occupying prominent positions were each artistic objects as a decorated roiling pin, a green elephant with a clock In its middle, a highly "inflamed” vase and a host of other things which once were regarded as highly artistic. When Mr. Crane had eliminated these artistic outlaws and simplicity reigned, the audience applauded ent* uslasticaily. Miss Evelyn D. Hansen will give her first lecture on “Art In Dress” at 9 o’clock tonight, preceded by Mr. Crane’s lecture on "How to Build the Servantless House.” His third dramatization of home furnishing was given this afternoon.

SPREAD GOSPEL FIRE PREVENTION Big Dinner Slated for Wednesday, May 18. “Fire prevention committees’’ to cooperate with the general fire prevention committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, are being appointed at the request of Chairman Frank C. Jordan, by various civic and commercial bodies which will participate in the fire prevention meeting and dinner to be held at the Chambej of Commerce on Wednesday evening. May IS. The following subcommittee has been appointed by President Harvey G. Staaf’r of the Associated Employers of Indianapolis; C. W. Wells, H. L. Dithmer, J. Edward Stilz, Carl A. Taylor and George O. Rockwood. Th* aim of the general “fire prevention committee" is to make this city a “cleaner and better Indianapolis”—free from debris and fire hazards, with a greatly reduced fire loss and a higher health rate. The purpose is to organize for a continuous fire prevention campaign. “W. J. Curren, superintendent of the Indianapolis Salvage Corps, and myself, recently visited Cincinnati.” said Frank C*. Jordan, committee chairman, “and heard the wonderful story of their successful campaign which has netted an annual saving of more than $1,500,000 in insurance premiums, reduced fire department cost, etc., and has mads their city more beautiful and the citizens healthier and happier. “What Cincinnati haa done. Indianapolis can do.” says Mr. Jordan. “And with tha cooperation of representative men and women of the city, backed by every live-wire organization, we will do even more than Cincinnati has done. Ways and means will be adopted at the meeting and dinner on May 18, when Capt. J. J. Conway and W. C. Culkins of Cincinnati will tell their interesting story.” Leave Columbus for Rig Round-up Special to The Times.

‘ALLAH BLESSES ’ GARY LABORERS BY WAGE SLASH Steel Workers See Better Times Through Working on Full Time. Special to The Times. GARY, Ind., May 4 Steel-town, pinched by hard times,- accep s a 20 per cent slash in wages with hardly a murmur. Employes who participated in the pitched battles of the steel war of 1919, were docilfe when notified by their foremen that their pay envelopes would contain one-fifth less starting May 15. Notification of the cut here follows the announcement made in New York by Judge Elbert H. Gary, head of the United States Steel Corporation. The men who have been working from one to four days a week for the last five months saw in the wage reduction steady employment and hence larger earnings. Workers in Gary are not versed in the niceties of economies. Sixty per cent of them are foreign born. Theirs is the simple bread and butter economics which follow: "We work perhaps two days a week at $6 a day, which gives us sl2 on Saturday. Why not work six days at $4.80 a day and draw $28.80 a week?” Wages in Gary now range from $3 a day for common labor to around S2O for rollers, the highest paid In the steel industry. Twelve hours is the work day. Gary, a town of 55,000, gave work to 22,000 men on an overtime basis during the boom days of the war period, and shortly after. Now It gives work to approximately 15.000 on a part-time basis. Many workers and their families are in actual need. Several hundred men line up in the Y. M. C. A. each night for a place to sleep. The Salvation Army and other social agencies have more calls for relief than ever before. Gary is the only city in the country that produces steel to the exclusion of every other product. Three engineers of the United States Steel Company came out on the sand dunes of Indiana in 1990 and out steel factories. The population then floated In to work on the plants. . The sentiment of the employes was not received from leaders. There are no leaders among the workers in Gary. The strike fiasco of 1919 lead by John Fitzpatrick and W. Z. Foster broke the back of organization among strel employes. Tbe steel union numbered about 50 per cent at ore time. Now there is no steel union in Gary. Lack of leadership is one of the reasons the men accept the cut philosophically with hopes of fatter pay in the long run. Their attitude for the most part, toward Judge Gary's announcement is this: “Allah has spoken.”

LEGION SPREADS TO FAR CORNERS Established in 18 Foreign Countries. With the establishment of posts of the American Legion in eighteen foreign countries, the ex-service men’s organization is fast becoming a world power, according to reports received at national headquarters here.

Tokyo-Yokahamn Post, in Japan, has increased from forty to eight-three members. The two cities are connected by rapid trolley service and meetings of the post are held alternately in Tokyo and in Yokahama. With the assistance of the Y. M. C. A. and prominent business men. Alan Seeger Post of Mexico City recently staged a smoker. On the same night Spencer Ely Post In Buenos Aires. Argentina, held a post dinner, which featured the same army songs used In any Minnesota post function. Posts of the legion are r.ow located In the following foreign countries: Mexico, Venezula, Panama. Argentine Republic, Belgium. England, Chill, China. Cuba, France, Germany, Guatamala, Japan, Poland.

The Truth About Indianapolis
