How Color Vogues Are Originated British Colored Council Has Evolved Systems of Re- search 'Where do the new colors come from ~--the lovely tints that one sees now- adays, which captivate, and add to the charm of both the young and the elderly asks an English fashion wri- ter in a London paper? v Instance the wonderfully soft blues that one sees in the sheerest of silk- en dress fabrics and wcollen suitings and can find also in table linens, and the accompanying tea or dinner ser- vice, in the crepe de Chine sheets and phlow cases of the luxuriously inclin- ed, in motor cars and their fittings, and on the kitchen walls. Even Parisiennes have succumbed to the London vogue of turquoise blue in spite of their affection for black, and black and white. There are pale golden yellows and glorious shades of red in tints and tones so far re- moved from their primary form as to be hardly recognizable. TRIUMPH FOR BRITISH This: triumph of color in fashion and the home is a triumph for Brit- isn dyers and manufacturers, Only of recent years has it become possi- ble to reproduce really beautiful col- ors.in all types of dress materials in this country, Foreign domination in color no longer holds sway now that British colors just as heautiful can be: produced by our own textile and oth- er color using industries. Much of the success of modern co- lor schemes is due to a plan of stan- dardization, The British Color Coun- cil with the desire to place color det- ermination for the British Empire in British hands has evolved systems of color research which provide early in- formation of the trend of fashion in this direction. In this way a selection of the com- ing fashion colors can be. made, and the sponsored colored card and cor- related chart for the coming season is achieved. These cards and charts "are sent out to members representing every kind of industry not only to all parts of Great Britain, but to all the parts of the world. AID TO MANUFACTURERS Manufacturers of every kind of production in which women -are in- terested are thus enabled. to create harmonious "color wchemes in silk, woollen and cotton fabrics, knitwear, hosiery, shoes and gloves, bags and other accessories. The modern color scheme extends to embroideries and fine .needlework which is absorbing]- so much attention from the women of today. Household linen, table ware and the kitchen have not been overlooked. A color chart, suitable for household appliances has been adopted by lead- ing firms, and this chart applies to other firms interested in interior | decoration. Linking up the. indus- try by means of color is one of the chief explanations of the present day : It cannot fail to assist the eventual purchaser whe- ther it be in choosing an ensemble for Gold Cup Day at Ascot or hav- ing the kitchen domain redecorated. KIND TO OLDER WOMEN The evolution of a fashion colour is interesting, - This season the vogue for a soft turquoise blue under the name of Gainsborough duck egg, or majolica, has been a victory for the color fashion prophets, Next autumn will geeta new blue green as one of the season's color suc- cesses, This is a soft dark blue green very like a peacock green, which is particularly. effective in supple cloth, and in taffeta for even- ing wear. There is ali a new dark almond green. There is no apparent yellow in these shades, which makes them a distinct contrast to the yel- low moss which were worn last aut umn.,e > There will be a revival of mole, and the general trend of fashion co- lors for the autumn and coming win- ter will be dstinctly kind to the older woman. Purple, hitherto an accepted color in this direction will not be lar- gely apparent this autumn, unless it be among the softer fuchsia shades. JAPAN MAKING GREATER USE OF TYPEWRITER In Japan there has been a radical change in 'the handling of corres- pondence by government. offices and larger business houses. Previously lettdrs were written by hand. but a typewriter has been produced with Japanese characters and it iB = now being adopted in government offices and the more substantial business houses, The machine is more cum- bersome than that used in" Canada due to 'the greater number of char- acters required by the Japanese language. This increased use of the typewriter in Japan has brought about a great demand for carbon paper. The higher grades of carbon paper are supplied by Great Britain and Canada, while the cheaper grad- es come from Austria, the United States and Germany. The.

Can. adlan National Rallways records of recent years present. a contrast not only in the happy juvasion of tens of thousands where hundreds came before, but in the: wide - familiarity with Canadian geography and the sporting resources that each section is rite fitted tu furnish. This, of course, {8 the consequence of more diffused education on thé subject of angling, and a new appreciation of the fact that Canada, with its unoccupied spaces, {ts 'imitless wealth of forest and stream, richly endowed and as richly maintained, puts claims upon the fishing aspirant, which the older regions of the south cannot hope to rival, In an effort to induce sportdmen to visit Canadian fishing localities the Canadian National Rallways have published and given wide distribution, particularly in the United States, to a booklet describing the better fishing locations. Motion picture films, de- picting fishing in differen! parts ef Canada are also circulated widely, tending to create interest in Canada's angling possibilities. Whether it be salinon or trout, bass or maskinonge, Rainbow or Steel head the angler car find it in Can- ada. The tourist bureau of the Can- adian National Rallwaye in Montreal stands ready'at all tJmes to assist the angler to'get properly located and to place him with a competent and re- liable gulde or at a comfortable fish- ing lodge. Anglers form a goodly number of the vas{ army of tourists who visit Canada «ach year, They all contribute towards our general tourist income and. every effort is made to encourage them. . TREES STRIPPED The caterpillar plague that stripped trees in Sudbury district last year is returning, reports from Drury Town. ship says. Acres of poplar trees near Worthington are as bare as during the winter, Birds are so puzzled by the- lack of foliage they fly screaming about the trees, apparently unwilling to build on bare boughs, Immigration Laws 60 Years Ago: Ontario Couple Who Have Just Celebrated Diamond Jubilee Tell of Trip Across Border Sixty years ago, when Alfred Fred VWatson and his bride 0% cne year toox a honeymoon trip from Meaford Ont. to Virgina, there was no call for a check-up with immigration laws or commuters' regulations in getting ac- ross the border at Niagara Falls, It took three weeks tc reach Vir- ginia, however, and that was fairly good going, with their transportation facilities: They travelled by covered wagon, and team of horses, It was real adventure. Mr, and Mrs. Watscn recently cel- ebrated their diamond wedding anni- versary and their stories of the trip were a revelation to some of the "youngsters" present. The happy young couple of 1875--now enjoying life on the shores of Gesrgian Bay-- pitched their tent when they felt like it and cooked their meals as they went along, They were mostly "dirt" roads in those days but no automo- biles to give them the dust. Even the bicycles were scarce--just the old- fashioned high-wheeled kind, if any. The Canadian couple spent some time in Virginia and returned as they went--without a mishap. Mr, Watson was born in the town- ship of Portland, near Kingston, Ont, in 1847. Now in his 86th year he is taking 'more interest in life than he ever did, 'Yes, I go up town every day," he remarked, "occasionally meet up with old friends from the country and talk over old times" There's still plenty of kick in life after a man passes his 80th birthday, he says. Mrs, Watson was born near Mea- ford, in May 1851, She too has good health and continues her daily house work, They were married Feb, 18, 1873 in the Meaford Methodist Church. About 1876 they took up farming in the township and later Mr, Wat- son engaged as a thresher for twen- ty years. They now are retired. They have one daughter, Mrs. Joseph Ab- ercrombie, : \ STOP THAT ITCH In One Minute D.D. D. Prescription Speeds Reliel\ It is really surprising tosee how Dr. D. D.

Charles G, Cole of Grace Methodist Church, New York, has compiled a code of ethics regarding the vacation period. "No minister has aright to go a- way all summer without first giving some thought to whethcr the church staff and congregation will receive any vacation," he said. "No employer has a right to take a vacztion unless his employees re- ceive a wage that will allow at least a modest vacation. There is something wrong with a society which permits a favoured few to spend their winters in Florida and their summers in Europe, while mul- tudes, equally deserving do not have enough to eat, "No man has a right to spend mo- ney on a vacation if he is deeply in debt and doesn't know when he is go- ing to pay his bills, 'No husband has a right to take a vacation unless Ke can provide one for his wife and family also. The church has not done enough when it has_sent a few mothers and children to the country, it must re- move the conditions which make cha- tity mecessary. : 'No church should be closed all the , | summer," It pays to "Roll Your Own" with TURRET FINE CUT CIGARETTE TOBACCO We Recommend "CHANTECLER" ot "VOGUE" Cigarette Papers STRETCH - IF YOU DESIRE POISE, HEALTH AND STYLE + Seventy-Year-Old Ex-Circus Rider Gives Young Women Key to Smartness by Posture "You're an old woman -- you can't do that!" somebody said to pint-sized Josie, known to the cir- cus profession as one of the great bareback riders of all time, up and showed them. She went back to the circus after fifteen years of what she contemptuously calls "soft liv- ing" and did difficult back somer saults in the middle ring at Madison Square Garden, setting a comeback record that has yet to be equalled. Moreover, she's still settng records-- and she looks younger than ever, though she must be seventy if she's a day. . When she had proved her point, and the desire to give her little adopted daughter a settled home had caused her to leave the ring,- this time for good, she started giving riding lessons. From that, she went on to open a dancing class which has in turn developed into the most famous posture school in thé country, patronized chiefly by rich debutantes and society women who know they must carry themselves well to look well, The diminutive Mrs, Robinson's latest pioneer adventure is in a School of Fashion where she teaches correct posture to students who later will become fashion artists, stylists, buyers, style consultants and advis- ers, Wearing Clothes Well "They need to know about correct posture not only for themselves, but algo for guidance in drawing fashion figures and in supervising the train- ing of models whose movements must be rhythmical and effective," explained Ethel Traphagen, head of the school and originator of the idea. "Yes," agreed Mrs. Robinson, de- monstrating her point by aiming an accurate and extremely graceful kick at the light fixture, "the thing that ruins many expensive and beautiful costumes worn by women today is the way. the women - carry them- selves. They may have their hair just right. Their faces may be done in the latest modes as far as mas- sage and make-up go, but the clothes become mere rags unless they are worn well. And it takes good pos- ture to carry them off." Comfortingly Mrs. Robinson says that it doesn't matter much whether you are thin or fat, provided you know how to stand and walk and sit. "See this," she admonished, slip- ping off her rather tiny pumps and walking around the room on her heels, "Women begin to age first in the ankles and being to show it around -the: abdomén. Never was there a time when they needed pos- ture more, for the modern fashions, especially for the beach, are most revealing. ' 'Never Be Tired." "What I really teach, though, is how never to be tired. Anybody who studies with me learns how to wind up the body in the morning and keep it that way all day, 1 don't know the meaning of the word tired my- self, and never did except for those 16 years when I 'went society." Then I was tired all right--tired mainly of waiting around for maids to do this and that for me." This time when she "married rich and lived on Long Island" she nearly "lost her body', Mrs. Robinson de- clares. That is, she did none of the exercises that had kept her supple all her life, and when she began to train again she could barely lift her leg as high as her waist., Now she can lift it as high as her head and higher, can bend and stretch any part of her body. Her flesh is as firm and supple as that of a 16-year- old girl. Her figure is' perfect and she weighs between 98 and a 100 pounds, never more, That's just right for her "five feet and a sug- gestion," which according to her is her height. J "Oh, yes, I have plenty of years but I won't tell you how many," she parrred merrly, rocking agilely on her heels. "You're as young as you act, anyway, and so how can you say I'm really old?" Certainly it is difficult to say about one whose blue gray eyes are so clear, whose face is so unlined and whose smile and mental outlook are so youthful, i "What matters in life is to stick to a thing and do a good jeb of it, whatever it is," she said firmly. "I came of a clrcus family. My father's people were mountebanks and we may have lacked some = kinds of training but we certainly were taught that character and integrity counted above all else, Money? Bah, that was nothing." Among the exercises that Mrs. Robinson gives to her talented stu- dents are a spine balancing stunt, a stretching regimen and the heel and' toe walking, For these last two you must get way up on heel or toe. It's hard but. she can do it and so, she says, can anybody who will practice. Doubling Yourself in Half For the spine balancing, . sit on the floor and draw your knees up close to the body; then slowly stretch the legs upward with the toes pointing skyward. You'll find yourself tilting and finally falling backward, but by concentration you can double yourself in half, find balance and exentually complete this strenuous exercise successfully. "I find," says Mrs. Robinson, "that the simplest of all beneficial stretching can be done with the aid of a pole. Stand flat against it, feet firmly on the floor, with the heels, calves and shoulders touch- ing the pole. The arms reaching overhead to the top of the pole pull the entire body to a full length -- flattening the stomach, raising the chest and actually "stretching the spine so that round shoulders soon disappear, And it's so easy when done correctly." LJ * LJ If you're. middle-aged, don't do any of these energetic "stunts" un- til you have consulted your doctor, and in any case, don't go at them too strenuously, Hearts are some- times rather weak after years of what Mrs, Robinson calls "soft liv- ing."
