Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Properly Framed and Displayed (Pictures Will Liven Livingroom j By Eitta Haley P'ICTURES con add more to your rooms than you've probably ever dreamed, especially when they are adroitly hung and cleverly framed. The pictures themselves do not need to be expensive origi-nals, if these are out of reach, but they should be properly used for best effect. Dull rooms look smart and color-less settings take on new brightness If the walls are properly adorned with pictures. These may be some-thing you've clipped from greeting cards, calendars, papers or maga-zines. They may be inexpensive re-productions which are, however, true to the original. Good framing and background can dramatize even the Inexpensive picture and make it an asset in your room. Clever groupings of pictures can become the center of attention in many a room, especial-ly if you use some of the time-trie- d formulas for hanging them proper-ly. Those who like a lot of pictures should be careful to group and place them in accordance with good deco-rating precepts. Pictures do not necessarily have to be of one type, but their framing and matting should bring them together enough to place them in a grouping fur the sake of effectiveness. Making unlike pictures somewhat alike can frequently be done at home with good matting and fram- - If you do not have large enough pictures for the large pieces, then plan to use several small ones or one large one with several small ones around It. Another possibility is to use two medium sized ones with one set above the other. Good effect can be achieved with Ui wall space properly . . , lng. When you do the job yourself, do It with the care and attention of a professional, and your pictures will look that much the better for It. Relate Pictures To Decorative Stylo To observe the rules of balance and unity, use traditional pictures In the game type rooms.. Victorian bouquets, Early American historical scenes and Colonial portraits belong In rooms of these different periods. Modern paintings and prints are best in rooms of the current period, while floral and fruit prints, sea-scapes, family portraits, black and white etchings are considered neu-tral and may be used in any period type of rooms. For the neutral types, you may choose framing that goes with a certain period, If you want to keep all furnishings in harmony. A very decorative gilt frame on a family four related prints framed In a single large frame. This, too, will give you one large picture. Give Small Frints Character, Importance Small pictures placed on a large wall by themselves will lose all Importance. If you can get togeth-er several, with some relation to each other, frame them alike with some attractive matting which picks up a color from the room furnishings, they'll be Important. Let the over-al- l form of hanging small pictures be symetrical for a pleasing effect. It's best never to hang them step fashion unless they're going to be used up a stair-way wall. iwany small pictures can be made to appear larger if they have wide matting on them. Let's say you have four or six small prints and want them over a large sofa. Wide matted In a deep or bright color, with good frames, such a group will have more interest and character than a single large picture. ,. j H lYiiiiiiimiiimiin It's a good idea, with several small pictures, to use a rectangular grouping which suits the furniture above which they're placed. If you have a plaid couch covering, too, the rectangular grouping would be In keeping. Use Common Sense In Hanging Pictures To be seen to best advantage, pictures are hung at eye level for the average person. If there are several pictures in the group, the bottom lines of all pictures should, of course, be at the same level. For pictures tnd plates, portrait might be used in one of the decorative French period rooms for unity, while in a modern home the same picture could be framed in simple light wood or ebony type to be in keeping. If your home is a combination of traditional and modern, then some pictures of either type may be used, provided they're in good taste. Use Pictures in Harmony With Wall Space Everyone of us has seen pictures used in disproportion to the wall space available, and has had an un-easy feeling about the result. No matter how good the picture, how nice the framing, the effect is not suitable if the wall space is not there. Avoid too large pictures in small-er rooms. If you have no small ones, it's better to eliminate them entirely. As a general rule, ornate wall-papers which you may have used to make a large room look less its size do not generally take pictures as this would give too much diverse pattern and destroy unity. Small-patterne- d papers may sometimes be used with very simple prints and frames, if the effect is not too con-fusing. Use larger pictures over large expanses of wall or over the larger pieces of furniture so that the wall decor can be balanced with what-ever piece Is adjoining or part of this particular group. Large sofas take the large pic-tures, while a good-size- d console or mantel may take some of the other large prints. Let's take, for example, the chest or sofa that Is quite low. Is it then wise to hang the picture at eye level? No, common sense as well as unity and balance dictate that this picture or grouping would look best hung low enough on the wall to become almost a unit with couch or chest. The above frequently happens in a chest tn the hall or even a room. The better the pitcure la tied to the chest, the more dramatic the ef-fect. If you have taken the colors for the room from such a picture, use it close above the chest, and try to get one or two accessories to place on the chest. These acces-sories should have lighter or dark-er color of the same hue as that in the picture. Centering a picture on the wall is done for pleasing and restful feeling. However, if you have a massive arrangement of plants or a lamp on one side of the wall, the large print or group of small ones can be slightly off center to balance the mass properly. Pictures will stay hung straight if they are fastened with wire run through a small screw eye at each side of the frame. They should be flat against the wall, with no wires showing in a "V" above the frame. Decorative Plates Substitute for Prints Those who have decorative plates may prefer to hang them on the wall in place of pictures. It's possi-ble to use them in much the same way. and to get as interesting ef-fects from them as from pictures. Plate colors and patterns should conform enough to your style of decoration to adhere to the rules of unity and balance.

Loose crumbs mixed in through the frosting spoil the appearance of many a good cake. Let cake cool, then brush crumbs with one hand while holding with the other one. Frostings and icings should be cooled before being spread on the cake; otherwise, they may soak into cake. Chocolate or butter cakes are lovely when you sprinkle confec-tioners' sugar immediately after taking them from the oven. If sprinkled over a lace doily, the sugar leaves a pattern. LYNN SAYS: Give Cake Crowning Touch With These Icing Secrets Ever try to ice a cake that's too fresh or warm? It may break or fall apart, crack or melt the frosting if you haven't allowed it to cool before icing. It's a mistake to try to achieve a smooth looking surface when swirls, ridges or a textured surface is far more effective. Use the blade of a spatula, a fork or the tip of a spoon to make the surface inter-esting. Allover Tucking Y" ' '' I i 4 J V: j i 4 i ' f --J m 1 '' ?V' !

Brucellosis Is Danger in Work ALTHOUGH FARMERS are tn constant danger of getting brucellosis from cattle and swine, veterinarians and packinghouse workers run an even greater risk, according to a report in the Jour-nal of the American veterinary medical association. The report, made after a Joint survey by the U.S. public health service and the Indiana state board of health, declared that brucellosis can be regarded as ar. "occupational hazard' of persons whose work brings them Into con-tact with infected animals Through use of a blood test, it can be determined if a person has been exposed to brucellosis. Tests showed that as many as 25 per cent of one group of vet-erinarians either had had the dis-ease or had been exposed to it. The tests were made during a three-yea- r period on more than 600 veterinarians. Considerable numbers of pack-inghouse employees also showed exposure to the disease. Numbers of reactors to the test were high-est on jobs requiring frequent contact with infected animals with group percentages running as high as 33 per cent When groups of farm workers were tested, slightly less than four per cent of the men reacted to the test and less than two per cent of the women.

Wilkinson TT WAS PROBABLY suicide," I said, looking around the cabin. "Why?" Capt. Rhodes asked. I nodded toward the walls. At least a half dozen photographs of Arthur Kimball hung there. "Any man," I I remarked, "who Minute was o vain as 3" FlCtl0n t0 take a11 those , pictures of him- - geu along to decorate his cabin on a two weeks' cruise, must have been vain about other things." "You mean he'd probably suf-fered financial reverses or some-thing, and was too proud to face the facts, so he shot himself?" "That's about it," I nodded, pleased that the captain should give so much consideration to my theory. A very dull fellow this Capt. Rhodes. The captain looked down at the lifeless body of Arthur Kimball. He had apparently been sitting at his desk, writing. There was a bullet wound in his temple. An automatic was clutched In the fingers of his right hand. The captain looked at the pic-tures. "I'm probably right, don't you think, Captain?" 1 said. .Captain Rhodes grunted. "No," he said, "I don't." He turned abruptly and went out. Well, this only confirmed my ideas about the Captain's stupidity. To me the thing was dead open and shut. The first mate, a tall, rugged in-dividual named Brooks, told me to go to my quarters and stay there until I was called. IT WASN'T UNTIL evening that the mate summoned me. I followed him down the corridor to Arthur Kimball's cabin. Captain Rhodes was there and several other men in uniform, and a strange man and woman. "That was a very logical theory you advanced," the captain said, looking at me. "But we've proven it to be dead wrong." "Wrong?" I said. "Mr. Kimball was murdered!" I didn't say anything. The captain was not only a dull fellow, but now he was revealing a tendency toward dramatics. "As soon," went on the captain, "as I decided that Mr. Kimball was murdered, I began to look for some-one who knew him before he sailed. This wasn't as easy as it sounds. Kimball was traveling alone. Still, I figured that someone had engaged passage on the same boat with the idea of murdering him. That some-one, I reasoned, would have taken a cabin as near to his as possible. So we began inquiring into the careers of all the cabin occupants along this corridor. The only two people whom we discovered who might have known Kimball are Mr. and Mrs. John Cole, these people here." The captain glanced toward the strange couple. "But," he continued, "they have conclusively proven that they were in the main salon at the time the murder was committed." "How did they know when the Capt. Rhodes was prepared. As I sprang I landed In the arms of one of his men. murder was committed?" I asked importantly. "I told them," Capt. Rhodes said. "So I continued my hunt, and presently I liscovered there was only one other person on board who knew Kimball. 1 dis-covered that this man had suf-fered financial losses through Kimball's activities. "And who?" I asked quietly, "is this man?" "You." said Capt. Rhodes. It was a remote possibility, and 1 had not believed it would occur, but nevertheless I was prepared. Capt. Rhodes was prepared too. That's why the uniformed men were present. One of them had sidled in behind me, and as I sprang I landed in his arms. The captain grunted. "If," he re-marked dryly, "you ever have oc-casion to plan another murder, con-sider the details." He pointed to one of the pictures of Arthur Kim-ball. It was the picture in which Kimball was seated at his desk writing. "Note," said the captain, "that Mr. Kimba!' is holding his pen in his left hand, as he is the riding crop and polo mallet in the other pictures. He must have been left handed, yet you placed the murder gun in his right hand." A dull fellow, the captain. |
