REAL ESTATE. Conservative antl wizarre Effects BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. L b — 11~10 N THIS WELL ARRANGED KITCHEN, THE SIMPLE HANGINGS OF YEL- LOW AND WHITE GIVE A TOUCH OF SUNLIGHT COLOR. ‘The tendency to bizarre decoration has to be guarded against by those who cannot have rooms done over fre- quently. It is important to remember this now, for there is much decoration of an extreme type being done. This is found in pronounced color schemes for interiors in ultra-modernistic furni- ture, in weird wall treatments and odd floor coverings, though not so much in the last item as in the others. The bizarre decoration is a natural feaction from the ultra-conservative style that has been in vogue. Color was quelled, wall paper was plain and floor coverings in flat solid hues. To branch out from such schemes was con- sidered poor taste. It was not surpris- ing that a certain monotony crept into interiors, and a drab element pre- vailed. ~Gradually skilled decorators began to strike a new note in color, form and arrangements, and since they were so different, the novel harmonies at first created sensations, and then grew into a fashion. It is one thing, however, to intro- duce such extreme decoration as is now so prevalent, and have it done by & person who knows correct technique, and quite another matter to try to introduce such schemes without previ- ous training and experience. novice can expect little success in the use of brilliant tones and oddly shaped furniture, etc. Therefore, the wise home decorator branches out carefully, for a quiet conservative scheme is far ore pleasing than an ultra one poorly ‘handled. Know the styles and keep up with them, but do not venture far at In the matter of paint, do not be lured into gay wood work and unusual natural colorist. In the desire for bright and cheerful kitchens, for in- stance, the home maker is often tempt- ed to get the effect by brilliant paint. Avoid it. Keep the softer colors fresh and clean, giving additional coats of int whenever needed, but beware of effects. They may grow tire- some. ‘The modernistic drapery fabrics, with their scenic effects and conspicuous patterns, must also be handled skill- fully. They are excellent when so used, but it is necessary to study your rooms and select textiles that add just the rig7at results—amount of pettern and harmonious tone effects in order to get right results. Many of the tex- tiles are fascinating in their quaint- ness, and true to colors of original antique fabrics from which various de- signs come. It must be borne in mind, however, that the entire scheme of a room must be in the same quaint key. Quaint textiles are for old-fashioned furnishings. Ultra patterns and strikingly modern color combinations require furniture and entire fi to correspond. urnishings The | Then thesc textiles look their best. Since today so much stress is laid on these two elements, paint and dra- pery fabrics, in decoration, and since 80 many novel colors and designs are available, the necessity of wise judg- ment in seleciion is emphasized. Fur- niture is of equal moment, but this will have to be taken up in another article. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. A correspondent writing about the Wmse of Irish moss (sea weed) as a food ©r relish remarks that years ago, when whe lived in a suburb of Boston, Mass., e people used sea weed as fertilizer the soil. Thus, I believe, food grown on the soil in that region would con- tain a fair quantity of iodin, and the milk of cows or goats grazing on the grass, as well as the milk of a human mother who eats freely of fruits or veg- Idaho, where she has lived many years. ‘There, she says, about one in every three persons shows some indication of goiter. ‘This has been more striking to her, because there was and still is ®0 very little goiter about her old home in Massachusetts. One of the objections raised by the natural born antis to the practice of | Dr. Goler, the famous health guardian of Rochester, N, Y., who has treated the municipal water with sodium lodid for a portion of the time for several years, was that this entailed wastage of lodin, since so much of the water is used for washing the flivver or sprinkling the lawn. But, at that, the total cost of the treatment 1s only a few thousand dollars a year, and that isn’t enough, in a community as large ®8 Rochester, to quibble about, w] we consider the boon this fodin ration gonfers on the thousands of people who drink the water thus treated. In a recent note here I told about sclentific researches that indicate that that, besides entailing the necessity of providing the infant with a regular dally ration of anti-scurvy vitamin (in the form of fresh fruit or vegetable juice, -or even canned tomato juice), pasteurization of the milk robs the in- fant of natural jodin ration, and this is a very serious deficlency which de- mands the careful consideration of physician and parent. Of course, if the baby gets a cod liver oil ration, as all artificially fed babies should and even some breast fed babies require (if mother’s own rations happen to be in- Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. The small upholstered chair which s used so much now in bedrooms or | dressing rooms is one which fits into any scheme of furnishing. ‘The covering of a chair of this kind may be permanent or the piece may be equipped with a slip cover, the lat- ter being more satisfactory, as it al- lows for easy cleaning. There are many ways in which to finish the seams of a slip cover, such as French seams, cordings, pipings or Just a straight sewed seam without decoration. But what could be more attractive than a narrow ruffie outlin- ing the chair through being inserted in the seam which joins the front and back of the covering. The other seams may be piped. ‘The chair shown in the illustration is covered with heavy gingham having a_ buff ground and reen cross-bars. The ruffies around cross-bar | adequate in this respect), it is not nec- essary to worry about jlodin, for the cod Hver ofl, if 1t is the plain, stralght, fresh article, contains enough. Another correspondent, who, I am sorry to note, takes adventage of anonymity, asks whether I am not in- consistent in advocating the universal use of lodized salt In place of ordinary salt, both for table and for cooking. This masked . stranger holds that asteurization (which consists of heat- the milk up to 140-145 degrees F. and holding at that temperature 20 minutes, then cooling ) drives off lodin, cooking, at a higher tempera- ture for a longer period, would nullity the value of lodized salt. If that be true is it not inconsistent to recommend the general use of iodized salt for table use and for cooking? It is, I blush to confess. Still, T am ever ready with an alibi. T have been advising the general use of iodized salt for aill household purposes for many years. I have just learned of the effect of heat this year, but, at that, iodized salt costs little if any more than ordinary salt. So there fould be no polnt in advising people to keep some of the ordinary salt on hand for cooking. The wastage of lodin here is of no more significance than is the wastage in the municipal water in Rochester. JOHN F.

Unrecognized, Unremembered. Text: “There was a little city, and a few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man."—Ecc. ix.14-15. An imperiled city saved through the leadership of & certain wise man, who received neither recognition nor reward for the service he rendered, but in- stead was soon forgotten. Such is the story the text recites. _How many such stories could be re- cited may never be known. The world is full of men and women like this poor wise man in the text, men and women of rare wisdom who have made worth-while contributions to their com- munities, but whose services have never recognized or rewarded. If we had some way of finding out, we would bé surprised and amazed at how much the world owes to such people. It is not to the best known and the most highly rewarded that the world is most indebted. History is radiant with many illustrious names, but we are more indebted to the countless for- gotten names than to these names his- tory preserves. You may be like the wise man in the text. You may be one of these | unrecognized, unremembered servants of your community. You may be one of those whose names will never appear upon history's page. But after all the highest and most satisfying rewards of life are of a kind the world cannot give. (Copyright, 1028.) Everyday Law Cases Is Carrier Liable for Delay in Transporting Passenger?

Black instituted suit, alleging that the cab company was liable for not transporting him in time.

Hair being much longer now, the great question is whether it is to be straight or waved, if it is normally straight. When hair could be worn quite short it was of no importance. €ropped hair was as becoming straight as any other way. But long, straight hair is sometimes a_problem. The answer is a loose water wave. ‘When you have your hair trimmed keep the back fairly short and be sure it is well shaped. Keeg the sides as long as possible. But when you sham- poo your hair after you have washed it and rinsed it quite thoroughly give it a minute’s quick rub with the towel; then take your comb, wet it (this is important) and comb the sides of the hair into loose “.aves. As you shape cach wave set it in place with a water-wave comb. These are cheap and invaluable. I think they are 5 cents apiece, and I know no better nickel's worth. It takes t\, combs to make one wave, for thev must be pushed together, the hair between them making a ridge. Also the ends of the hair must be tucked under, and then a hair net or a cotton net, such as all stores sell for this purpose, must be adjusted. It would be excellent if you owned an electric dryer. But if you haven't this delightful convenience sit in front of a hot stove, or a gas fire, or bend over an oil stove (do not let the hair get too close to the flame). is a marvelously quick way to dry wet hair, as the heat shoots up in a hot column, nillklng the hair dry and fluffy in no time. Finally, when the hair is quite dry, remove the combs and carefully smooth it with your usual comb. If possible, wear a cap-shaped net at night to hold the waves in place. This will make them last much longer. The result will be a loose, light, natural-looking wave ' DOWNTOWN WAREHOUSE For Rent Rear 927 D St. N.W. 4-STORY—FIREPROOF ELECTRIC FREIGHT ELEVATOR /QMER!CAN' SECURI'[Y Real Ests 15th & Pa.

THOMSON. “Baloney” is the latest popular slang word for the older “tommy rot.” It replaces “applesauce.” There are fads and fashions even in slang. The insatiable human thirst for the new and strange finds expression in every department of our existence. It is the “kick” we are after. And the staid bookish language does not afford it. Slang words are usually short and snappy. They are also colorful. FPre- quently they have sound value as well. One can guess the meaning by the tone and color of the word without knowing the language. This appeals to the primitive and childish in us. It imi- tates th~ “bow wow” and the ‘‘chu chu” languag of the baby. To th> extent that it cuts red tape in exprissing an idea and introduces variety <lang is refreshing. But like all noveltie becomes so commonplace that the writers of our huge dictionaries are re- luctantly forced to admit the upstart among the respectable family of words. “Ain’t” had a hard struggle, but finally crashed the gate of the social elite among words. Theoretically it is no longer confined to people coming from the “sticks.” The slang expression does for words it soon loses its flavor, or else | what the nicknamé does for names. It is a parody, a carfcature. We usual- ly enjoy it as we enjoy comedy of the cheaper sort. Those who e themselves on_their meticulous ¢f of words are shocked by sl and Jook upon it as the earmark of vulgarity and illiteracy. These are the same people who have no use for jazz music. ‘The real objection to slang is that it impoverishes the user in the expres- sion of the more delicate and exact mechanisms of his thought. *Dope,” for example, may mean anything from a narcotic drug to insight, information, skill, etc.. as {llustral by the expres- sion, “Get the dope on this,” or “What's the dope?"” Carelessness and siovenly habits should not be omitted as motives for the use of slang. Perhaps some who refrain from slang are careful to avoid a reputation for being slipshod. The illiterate person uses slang be- cause he doesn't know better. Some cultured people have a horror for slang and never use it. The great majority of us get a little relaxation and kick from slang because of the novelty, _directness, colorfulness and force. But we soon tire of it as we do jazz. Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. “Term Insurance.” Term insurance is the kind that cov- ers you or your husband for a specified term of years. You may be the bread- winner of your family, for example, and your children may be quite young. Per- haps the average time between their age now and their age of employment will be 10 years. You wish to protect them from want should you be taken off. Naturally in such a case you would take out term insurance. Term insurance protects your children for the 10 years you are insured. It affords the maximum insurance at the minimum price. It is just as possible that your hus- band may find term insurance desirable some day. If he is taken from vou be- fore a mortgage is paid, his regular in- surance may not cover that need. In such an instance term insurance pro- tects both the mortgages and life in- surance at the least cost. Every man cannot afford to take out enough insurance of this kind to pay a mortgage in full, but if a mortgage is substantially reduced, Don’t Wait Longer!

It should be remembered that the money paid out for term insurance may not be spent entirely to cover a risk. One may convert term insurance into regular insurance by paying an addi- tional premium. Term insurance is sometimes taken out by elderly persons who have neg- lected to take out life insurance in their youth. It is quite expensive, but better late than never. If they outlive the term thelr premiums, of course, are just that much money wasted. Only those persons who can pass the usual physical examination for life in- surance may obtain term insurance. There is this qualification, however, persons with minor infirmities may be granted term insurance in limited amounts, but they are “rated up.” That is, they pay a higher than ordinary rate for their insurance. ‘The young husband who cannot af- ford heavy financial responsibilities for insurance finds term insurance a solu. tion to a universal problem. The young, middle-aged or old woman with depend- ants finds term insurance is the most economical way to protect them for a its carrying | limited time.
