An artistic tonal naruumy in decora tion is important. This is closely al lied with color schemes, but is of wider scope. We speak ot rhe color scheme of a room, and also the tonal beauty of a room, but we do not use rhe term a color scheme of a house, but rhe color schemes. We can. however speak either ot a tonal effect in a room or rhe entire interior of a house It has more to do with rhe harmony as a whole than to individual rooms. The meaning of tonal is significant It indicates shades of colors rather than strong or pure colors and this is especially true at this period of decorative schemes in which color has been a dominant feature. Tones In schemes are far more beautiful than pronounced colors. What are known as “off shades” are those sought by experienced decorators of true ar tistic ability These tones are some times difficult ro classify. For example, rhere is a tone which Is so centralized between green and bine that one person may caK it green and another blue and each he equally correct If has a rare fascination S«> It is with other tones They have fas Cination as well as beauty This is part ot rhe charm nt tonal effects. Color Strength But apart from the baffling tones, there are so many exquisite rones that a decorator has ar her command with out resorting ro strong colors rhaf she can work with them easily A room should be graded in color strength so that it has restfulness A room may have for its scheme blue green vellow. etc., but these colors should he mellow Dot crude. They should he fortes When rhe tones of rooms opening off one another, are harmonious then the tonal effect ot the noose is artistic. One room should lead rhe eye to the other and not with sudden ness. There can be no clashing, it harmony is rhe result The color of woodwork should not be in too decided contrast. The walls should be in sympathetic harmony Papei Effects. When papering a room hang a sample of the paper under consideration by a door opening to rhe next room or where it can he seen in it Leave it there for a while, and notice it when passing. See if it pleases when com pared with the wall treatment of ad joining rooms If it does, rhe tonal effect is good If it fails ro please the eye it should nor be used even though it would look well in rhe nem for which fr was intended A nousc can not be decorated as if it were com posed of separate rooms without re gard to one another hut as if each were a part of rhe whole which, of course, is rhe fact Hooked rugs in Chinese design are distinctive.

cent years, it has always been true that decorative eras have followed In the course of any nation s prominence • One reason why the period rooms, as such, have given place to rhe com । binarion of various harmonious periods in one room is undoubtedly due. in large measure to the widespread inter , est in International affairs. So true is it that decorative periods in rhe past , have developed following such rota tion of attention, that it can scarcely be a mere coincidence that decorative period combinations of today and in . ternarional affairs are subtly linked. So. also, it Is not surprising that th* | attention focused recently on the orient should make itself feP in rhe decoration of countries even as far distant as America. 1 ® 1933 R»-!1 Svndicate. — WNU Service I 4 It is not so much genius ’hat ttie i world need* as faith wU fulness.

SCIENTISTS PLUNGE INTO “PIT OF HELL”

Face Many Perils in Survey of Desolate Spot. Durango, Colo.—Away from the last frontier of law in the United States, into the “Pit of Hell.” Ansel) Ha l of the National Park service is leading a party of forty or more archeologists and zoologists. This so-called “black spot” of the Southwest is located principally north of the Colorado river in soul henstern Utah and comprises an area of (><M) to 700 square miles. The purpose ot the expedition, as announced, is to make a survey of the unchartered district and to explore any ruins discovered. The party is said to he threatened almost hourly, day and night, by ren egade Indians, who resent the white man's Invasion. Another contingent of the explora tion party, made up of engineers and geologists, with headquarters nt Be t takin Ruins, Piute reservation.

Starting from Mexican Hat, perma nent base, part of Hall’s party, using folding boats, shot the rapids in the San .Juan river and went to Lee’s Fer ry on the Colorado. The remainder of the party is using a pack train of mules am’ horses. The expedition promises rich re ward in geological and scientific data, according to reports received here Already ruins have been discovered, it is stated, that were old when Christ was born, and bones of the Pliocene er., and skulls of men have been found that may add thousands of birthdays to the oldest ancient man.

GOLI) AM) ITS ALLOY By LEONARD A. BARRETT i A great deal of interest is manifest ed these days in the effort of the gov

ernment to call in all the outstanding gold. Some per sons who are defying the government by still hoarding their gold, claim they cannot be coerced to give up the precious metal. Perhaps the right of the government to demand the return of gold may have to be tested in the courts.

Pure gold, however, is of value only as a security. From a practical point of view it is of little value because it is too soil The goM used in the Jewelry trade must be mixed with some alloy, usually silver before it can tie worked up Into orna ments. A watch case made of pure gold would s<mn be forced out of shape by frequert pressure in daily use. A pen made of pure gold would not serve as a satisfactory instrument for writing because it would be too soft. The gold used for decorative purposes is usually 14 carat, otherwise it would not si and up under the friction of daily use. Gold, therefore, to be of any practical value must be mix^d with some alloy. Such alloy is not necessary if we lock the gold up in a deposit box and regard it only as a reserve security; He’ll Wed Any Girl for S3OO in Cash! Camden. N.

The dock was constructed under extreme physical handicaps, for under the site a bed of sand charged with artesian water at considerable pres sure was discovered. It became apparent that unless preventive meas ures were taken quickly the water would force its way through into the dock excavations. The engineers solved the problem by sinking tube wells down to the sand Bounty Jumpers A bounty jumper in Civil war days referred to a man who enlisted id the army when bounties were being paid for enlistments.
