"The Kitchen Interesting Fortunate 1s the woman who does Bot have to carry on & job in a noisy, dirty factory; or In the artificially "Mghted office, but whose work-a-day she can make her surroundings what she will. There is no need for her to permit her kitchen -- the room in which she spends most. of her time-- ~ fo be drab and cheerless when a lit- tle thought and a few cans of paint will transform it into a place of beauty and charm, Color is the chief factor which de- termines the influence a room has up- on us. In childhood our first choices are for strong, crude colors--bright reds and yellows and greens. An edu- cated taste learns to love the subtle ties of grayed down tints, which are more' restful and 'refined, but they need not be tame and uninteresting. A few years ago, we were carried away by the white enameled kitchen. But we soon came to realize that it looked cold and institutionalized. A more loveable kitchen is one with soft yet cheery colors, with some individu- ality of its own and a sweet, homely atmosphere, Color has an influence on our men- tal attitudes. Red is an aggressive, inflaming, 'quarrelsome eolor, Blues and greens are cool. Yellow is sunny and happy. Any strong color soon grows monotonous and gets on our nerves. Better neutral backgrounds with soft tints, as trimmings, and with touches of bright color to give gaiety. A small room needs lighter colors. A sunny room can take darker colors. A dark room will be brightened by 'light colors. Blue-gray, green-gray, buff are lovely for walls, with a dark- er shade for the woodwork. Have the linoleum correspond to the walls or try black and white for the floor. Line the cupboard with orange or henna color for cheer. Let the curtains repeat some of the dominant shades of the room and stress one brighter color. Bands or pipings of blue or orange may be add- ed if more color is needed, or a shelf or two on the wall may be painted a glad color or contain a row of bright + ' colored dishes to introduce color. One advantage of limiting the heightened colors to curtains, shelves and dishes "1s that you can change them easily at will, if you get tired #of your color scheme. Fashions, Fads, Foibles Those who hope to keep the hem- lines up are battling against a force no less powerful than gravity, since Madame Grundy says hemlines shall be no less than a hand's length below the knee, There is greater freedom An waistlines and while the newest and smartest are short, yet many still cling about the hips. Waistlines are marked more by blousing in the back and fitting in front than by the belt. Favorite materials are the jersey blouses for sports, lace for afternoon and evening gowns, prints of all kinds on dark backgrounds. Satins, crepes, georgettes and chiffons are good. Green, yellow, navy, black and white are popular colors. Wrought Iron Wrought iron is tremendously popu- Jar just now.

In the usual sandwich meal, one must eat six or eight slices of bread to feel satisfied. Helpful Hints Rubber gloves will last longer if you do not always wear the same glove on the same hand.

Childhood Memories "No soil on the earth 3 as dear to OUT eyes As the soil we first stirred in terres trial pies.""--Holmes, New Police Body ; - Formed in B.C. New Westminster, B.C. -- Short wave radio broadcast will do more to- wards co-operation between multitud- inous police forees of Canada than any other medium of communication, ac- cording to Provincial police officials of British Columbia who attended a conference held here to advance the cause of crime prevention and appre- hension of criminals. Chief Constable W. J. Bingham, late of Scotland Yard, now in charge of Vancouver city police, expressed a de- sire to cf-operate with the Canadians who command the Pacific Coast forces. Colonel J. H. McMullen, Commis- sioner of the Provincial Police force, expressed a desire to co-operate, with all the forces and one of his Inspectors outlined how, at a certain time, broad- casts were sent out to isolated posts daily, sometimes under code. As a result a new police organiza- tion of Law Enforcement officers of the B.C. Lower Mainland and Chief Constable John Cameron, New West- minster, who had called the meeting, was elected president. In recognition of the reputation of Scotland Yard, Chief Bingham was made vice-presi- dent. "Yes, sir, tenn years ago all this'land around here sold for a dollar and a quarter an acre."

This unique book, written and illus- trated, at the Prince's personal invita- tion, by no fewer than fifty of the famous novelists, poets and artists in England, was published in aid of the British _Leglon, and the King ex- pressly desired that the money result- ing from its sale should be regarded as a thank-offering for his recovery. It is not generally known, however, that there is an Edition de Luxe of the book of which only 500 copies are for sale.

Furthermore, this Edition de Luxe contains initial letters in red, newly designed, and the binding is handsome and durable, full buckram. boars, boxed. The illustrations, produced by the superb collotype process, include the King (in color), the Queen, Prince of Wales, and a drawing in color by Max Beerbohm. Admiral Sir Lionel!

A Royal Advertising Slogan "Advertise More!" George's Slogan "Advertise more and advertise to the purpose" was a slogan coined by Prince George at the annual banquet of the National Advertising Benevo- lent Society in London.

Residence abroad and detachment from his former assoclates has changed Tunney and mellowed him, too. Brought back to the talk of his fighting days, there was nothing aloof about him. Mentally, the boys took back a lot of the harsh things they may. have said, written or thought, about the one-time Marine, who, in the eyes of Alan Gould, of the Asso- clated Press, is as handsome and bronzed as ever and a more accom- wplished conversationalist, Famous Seventh Round Tunney talked freely of the famous seventh round and thé long count at Chicago.
