Under some circumstances It ald not be used at all. “So abnormally stimulating ‘s red when used in excess and for any Yength of time, that it sometimes Bauses serious nervous symptoms. A medical man was once puzzled by the extreme nervousness of a whole fam~- whose members often came to to be treated for headache, sleeplessness, and other nervous its, He found it impossible to give them permanent relief, until one day he was called to their home, Then he foticed that red was much in evi- ence in the color scheme of almost very room in the house, particularly fn the wall papers. Being aware of Mts irritating quality when used thus Javishly he advised that the house be} répapered in other colors, This hav- fing been done, the nervousness from which the entire family had suffered long soon disappeared. Beyesis like these suggest that red should not be allowed to predominate fm the upholstery, floor coverings oF wallpaper of any room in which people have to spend much of their time,” sums up Mr. Bruce. And he has other interesting the- ries adout colors. Yellow, he says, fs almost as hostile a she the average American and European male. (So, perhaps, that historic peace table, to be absolutely above re- proach, should draw the color line and be constructed of white enamel.) “Chinese, Persians, ang Asiatics in general,” writes the author of “Nerve Control and How to Gain It." “are extremely fond of yellow, and derive from it a most pleasurable feeling- tose American and European chil- Gren, at all events in their earliest years, likewise take great delight in yellow. But in the case of adult ‘Americans and Furopeans the feel- ing-tone produced by yellow, espe- cially when it {s seen in mass, is gen- erally a disagreeable rather than an agreeable one. Sometimes it has such an unfavorable effect as to fause sensations of nausea, “On this theory yellow should be used much like red in household decorations and in clothing—that is, sparingly.” Riue and green are the colors to which the psychologist gives prac- tically a clean bill of health, “Instead of irritating the nervous system and exciting the mind.” he gaye, “blue has tranquilizing effects.

Their work is finished, and these volunteers are leaving. There are no public receptions to welcome them home, and few will ever know how great was their contribution. To give an idea of the calibre of| these Government volunteers, it may | be said that an examination of the | roster of the War Industries Board alone reveals that at the time of the armistice there were no less t 250 volunteers in this organization, whos’ combined earning capacity in private life is estimated at $15,000,000 to $30,- 000,000 per annum. Several of these men drew salaries ranging trom $60. 000 to $100,000 annually before they came to Washington, Other departments of the Govern- ment had large numbers of these vol- unteers, Without them the co-ordin- ation of America’s vast resources could not have been achieved, They were the leading men in their respec- tive lines and they brought to tho Nation's service not only expert knowledge but enthusiasm, It will not be possible to mention all of these men for lack of space. One of the most conspicuous of tho volunteer workers is Bernard M. Baruch of New York.

In his travels over the world as a mining engineer, Hoover had come in intimate contact with the prob-! lems involved in the feeding of large numbers of people. In one of the provinces of China, where he had ex- tensive interests, Mr, Hoover demon- strated to the natives how the yearly famine could be obviated. That is said to have been the beginning of hin study of the food problem.

His appointment as Director General of the Emergency Fleet Corporation gave the necessary impetus to the work, The month of March, 1918, was a blue month in ship production. The figures for that month were par- ticularly discouraging to those who realized the pressing necessity for more ships. From Gen.

On July 4th eighty-seven ships were launched, the greatest number of vessels ever dropped into the water from American shipyards in one day. Steadily the tonnage production mounted until it had achieved sub- stantial proportions and the fear was dispelled for all time that we would not have enough ships to keep the great supply lines across the Atlantic in continuous operation.
