Is the Question most people ask when they start talking about decorating. Well, start with color, since that 'a a good, solid basic point. The colors msy be chosen from a favorite picture which you have in the room, or a piece of material you fancy on the drapes, a pot of flowers, a china platter, or something like that. Every room should hrv one main color, then a secondary one which blends with the first The third color is used in small Quantity, merely for accent You would do well to choose muted colors since they are easiest to live with year after year.

Edith Is kind, capable, devoted to me and the boys, altogether a splendid person. Because of her extraordinary understanding and patience, we have never had a quarrel in our. seven years of married life. "About two weeks ago Edith told me that a man whom I never had met, but had heard her mention as on of her college crowd, was going to call on me, in the hop of telling me three letters of hers. She distinctly recollected that she had written him but three times, for they had seen each other constantly during the last months of her college year, after which he had left for his home in a distant state. She wrote three times, under the most agonizing stress a girl of 19 can know. He never answered. She never has seen him since. I need hardly say that he is today a contemptible rotter, and that my ona interview with him will be my last.

Baker was the creature of Edwin M. Stanton, the hardshelled secretary of war. In protecting the citizenry and army, Baker uncovered a trade in obscene books and pictures something of the sort that every police force and district attorney is dealt ing with constantly. Baker called it " a fiendish business, carried on by human vampires, for ruining the morals and bodies of men. It was decided to make a bonfire of this sensual trash.

Of Areas Stricken by Fire, Flood or Winds General George C Marshall T BELIEVE the disaster relief work of the Red Cross is more appreciated end better understood than any other aervice it renders. Its resources, nationwide, can be quickly brought to the aid of stricken communities. These resources are not solely in funds and trained workers but also in i the organization's "I facility for mobil- -' izing the sympathy of the nation when situa-- , .. tions require it land converting fImmJI that sympathy into material MARSHALL help. The ability to rush aid wherever needed is one of the greatest assets of the American National Red Cross. The instant a disaster occurs the Red Cross gets into action not only from outside the disaster area, but also within the community affected where the local chapter disaster preparedness plan functions instantly. The impulse to help someone in distress is a very human reaction. It inspires the staff personnel and the thousands of volunteers who give their time end talents to the Red Cross. Their effectiveness lies in providing prompt relief and results from the organization's network of 1,745 chapters and 4,668 branches In the United State, its territories and insular possessions. There are only e few county seats in the United States without an active chapter. There is scarcely a town in the country which does not have an active branch. There are three distinct phases of every Red Cross disaster operation. They are preparedness for the disaster; emergency relief for the victims In the form of food, clothing, shelter and medical care; and rehabilitation afterwards for those who cannot finance their own recovery. This last is the least understood and frequently the most Im- T& ' necessary, with a supplementary grant from the national disaster relief appropriation. Bnt when s chapter finds itself confronted by a major a countrywide concentration of resources is the order of the day. First the local officials notify one of the four area administrative headquarter in Alexandria, Va., Atlanta. Ga., St. Louis, Mo., and San Francisco, Calif.

Red Cross activities are both national and internatlonaL You can see that the Red Cross must always be free to mobilize and expand lta services to meet situations as they arise. It must be able to concentrate Its whole strength on the of e stricken community or meet the huge demands of a national emergency. No one can foresee exactly what burdens the Red Cross may be called upon to assume each year. It therefore should be apparent that the organization cannot 'well delegate its fund raising responsibility to another agency. Nor can it commit itself to an alliance which might hinder its freedom or capacity to meet its national and International responsibility. relief Red Cross Depends on the People "Fundamentally the Red Cross is a membership organization. It receives no financial support from the government ond desires none. It depends upon the support of the American people and upon the work of thousands of volunteers who outnumber the regular staff by 100 to 1. The Board of Governors believes that the interest of these essential volunteers and contributors must be maintained. Then too, each person must be given the privilege of participating in the organization's work to whatever extent he himself decides." - THIS "I WEARER SAYS I everybody abont ORA.
