Brownies and the Cancer Society â€" I almost forgot one other important appeal. Sounds like I want your blood doesn‘t it! woodsy flavor for vacation or outing. One important thing to remember is â€" do not use too many colors nor too many patterns. If you cannot decide on a color scheme and you have no favorite, perhaps you can decide on a painting that will go in your room â€" or some accessory that will go on your tables that may have a combination of colors that will be atâ€" tractive enough to be your jumping off color. Color, if properly used, can make a room, apartment or house into an exciting, homey place for living. A good rule to follow is warm colors in the rooms that face north. These colors include yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, etc., cool colors (blues, green etc.), for your southern exposures.

For example; if you have decided blue, green and white will be your color If you are in the warm colors, brass ‘lamp bases with white or offâ€"white lamp shades are a good comâ€" bination. Try to keep acâ€" cessories to gold andâ€"or white. Your picture frames should be gilt or antiqued. yellow or even red and use one theme in various inâ€" tensities. The deepest color should be your floor covering, sofa, chairs and drapes various shades of the color. The palest shade should be for your walls and woodwork. It is usually advisable to paint ceilings white, it lifts the ceiling. If you findit difficult to overcome your problems in matching the right color, you can write to The Westonâ€" York Times and the next time I‘ll talk about one of your questions. scheme, then make one room color dominately green with toches of blue and white, another room blue with touches of green and white. Then you can also bring in prints with blue, greens and whites in various shades. Pale blue, deep blue with a touch of lilac can be inâ€" terchanged andâ€" blended together, or, perhaps yellow, beige and green â€" the carpet being beige or green and stress one of these colors in various rooms. If _ you are using broadloom, it is advisable to use the same color in halls, living room and dining room. Sharp contracting areas are hard to live with, but if you feel you would like that extra touch â€" wallpaper does wonders for a room uplift â€" but, again be careful not to overdo it â€" sometimes just papering the important wall in the room achieves the desired effect.

The sacs are located in the chest and abdominal areas and help maintain high levels of oxygen and just the right amount of carbon dioxide in the bird‘s body. A bird‘s breathing, in fact, is regulated primarily by the concentrations of carbon dioxide in the blood. An increase in carbon dioxide stimulates breathing. A decrease causes breathing to slow down or even stop for a while. In many ways, the respiratory system of birds works just the opposite to that of humans. For example, when birds inhale, their lungs diminish in volume. As they exhale, their lungs expand. The unique breathing system of birds increases their oxygen intake by 10 to 15 times when they fly and allows them expend more energy, weight for weight, than a man does when he runs at top speed.
