I WOMAN'S WORLD Plan Living Rooms With an Eye to Comfort By Ertta Haley Tweed Fashion LIVING BOOMS are Just what they room for living. Is yours planned to be enjoyed by every member of the family, for real joy, comfort and friendliness? For a room meant primarily for living, all these aspects aie ef first importance. Does the room Invi.e you in to stay as you tliU step in-to it, or does ft urge you only to look at it In a detached sort of wayT A comfortable living room Is full of friendly pleasing colors that give you a sense of rest and peace. It has chairs that invite you to lounge and relax. It's a room of which you won't tire easily because It has muted colors that you can live with a long time. It's easy to furnish a room such as this If you let common sense rules guide you. Do plenty of think-ing about the room before you jump into decorating it. Just as a good carpenter has a blueprint of what he Is making, you, too, should have a definite idea of what the room is to look like when it's finished. You may have to sp. d a week or two selecting one or two corn- - much pattern will clutter the room and will give a feeling of restless-ness and crowding, just what you want to avoid. When considering color, never forget to use plenty of neutral colors such as beige or tan, white, gray, etc. These will balance the more definite shades and give the room color balance. These colors might be employed on the ceiling, woodwork or rug, wherever they are most needed. They are not often used on furniture upholstery or drapes, except when color has been used on walls or floor to create certain effects. Create Pleasing Effects With These Decorative Tips Just as you avoid clutter with the proper choice of furniture, you can do the same with the furniture and other trimmings. Some of these tips may surprise you, but they've been tested for suitability. You can mix light and dark woods. All the furniture does not have to match, though it should give a pleasing impression.

If the room is Early American, better keep it all that way, even to your choice of chintz for coverings. f V iX ' K 1 J I 't f 1 r i ; ? t i i j ; O i - . ,, " " ' : j Z:Vl I J , Important fashion trends are seen in this casual Spring coat of orange red thin wool tweed.

Too many colors will make the room look busy, thus tiring you out after you sit there awhile. Solve living room problem .... fortable chairs, but when you think of the years of comfort they will give you, the time Is of no import-ance. The mm should reflect you and your interests, too. If you like to have people drop ia and spend an evening in good conversation, this can be shown in the comfortable conversational arrangements you've planned. If you like it to be a place to read and relax, then have enough end tables, good chairs and lamps that make this pursuit easy. Use no More Than Three Colors in Room "But where can I start?" 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 may 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 some-thing like that. Every room should h.-- one main color, the 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 to give comfortable impression. No color or no thought to rlor will give you an unpleasing feeling of indefiniteness and oan make you just as eager to get out of the -- oom as too much color. If the living room is large you can easily use some pattern. Too SERVICE IN PEACE AND WAR Disaster Relief Work by American Red Cross Swiftly Brings Nationwide Resources to Aid Of Areas Stricken by Fire, Flood or Winds By General George C. Marshall BELIEVE the disaster relief I work of the Red Cross is more appreciated and better understood than any other service it renders. Its resources, nationwide, can be quickly brought to the aid of stricken communities. These re- - necessary, with lem; grant from the national re-lief appropriation. But when a chapter finds confronted by a major dis-aster, a countrywide concen-tration of resources Is the or-der of the day. First the local officials notify one of the four area administrative headquar-ters in Alexandria, Va., Atlan-ta, Ga., St. Louis, Mo., and San Francisco, Calif. If the area office finds that the problem is beyond its facilities, it calls upon national headquarters, which brines to bear the resources of the other areas. There are three resources that must quickly be put into action. First, if the chapter in the disaster region lacks funds, the word is flashed to national headquarters sources are not solely to funds and trained work-ers but also in the organization's facility for mobil-izing the sym-pathy of the na-tion when situa-tions require it and converting it ha t sympathy i In At i j .I , ' Ik : 1 1 y?:s"n v- -' into m a i e r i o MARSHALL help. The ability to rush aid wherever needed is one of the greatest as-sets 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 commu-nity affected where the local chap-ter disaster preparedness plan func-tions instantly. The impulse to help some-one in distress is a very hu-man reaction. It inspires the staff personnel and the thou-sands of volunteers who give their time and talents to the Red Cross. Their effectiveness lies In providing prompt relief and results from the organiza-tion's network of 3,745 chapters and 4,668 branches in the United States, its territories and in-sular possessions. There are only a few county seats in the United States without an active chapter. There is scarce-ly a town in the country which does not have an active branch. There are three distinct phases of every Red Cross disaster opera-tion. They are preparedness for the disaster; emergency relief for the victims in the form of food, cloth-ing, shelter and medical care; and rehabilitation afterwards for those who cannot finance their own re-covery. This last is the least under-stood and frequently the most im-portant. Preparedness means that the lo-cal chapter has a disaster commit-tee which has planned for fast ac-tion whenever and wherever trouble hits. It means that the local chapter has understandings with the police, fire and health departments, with SOLICITUDE . . . Red Cross disaster worker Carl Meyers has mealtime chat with Ken-neth, Billie Jean and Judy Ann Lunceford of Hornersvllle, Mo., who were among the scores of children with their families who sought shelter during the threatened flooding ' of the Birds Point New Madrid flood-wa- y last January. which authorizes an immediate grant or allotment so the chapter can carry on without delay. Or perhaps the chapter is small and needs experienced help. The area office will send workers from its regular staff and if more are needed it will recruit and assign trained workers from its list of disaster resources. Then there is the matter of sup-plies. Drugs, whole blood plasma and the like are brought in from the closest sources. Food, clothing, and essential furniture are pro-cured, locally if possible. And when tf.J j.AL. .j adcutional shelter is needed, tents and cots are borrowed from the national guard or the United States military establishment. A good example of disaster relief was demonstrated recent-ly when a typhoon struck Guam. The chapter there, headed by Gov. Carlton Skin-ner, had $38,000 which could be used for emergency. The com-mittee moved in fast, securing food, clothing, and medical care for the victims. Because the crops were destroyed, supplies of food were shipped or flown into the island. Rehabilita-tion started as soon as the high winds permitted. This is just one of the numerous disasters that the Red Cross has dealt with during the brief period of my association with the organ- ization. More recently, the organ- ization has been called upon for help in relieving Midwest flood suf-ferers and the victims of winter storms in the Far West. In the finest sense, this service exemplifies the d Amer-ican tradition of neighbor helping neighbor. The Red Cross merely promotes and implements the neighborly spirit. A Free-Movi- Group Many duties of the Red Cross in-volve emergency operations, often on a very large scale. In addition to local service by the chapters, Red Cross activities are both na- tional and international. You can see that the Red Cross must always be free to mobilize and expand its services to meet situations as they arise. It must be able to concen-trat- e its whole strength on the re-u-of a stricken community or meet the huge demands of a na- tional emergency. No one can fore- see exactly what burdens the Red sume mauy be caUed uPn t as- year. It therefore should be apparent aIT ,orSanization cannot well bmtvt ltSnd raisln another agency.

The Red Cross telecommunications sys-tem plays an especially impor-tant role during disasters when messages must be received quickly from stricken areas. Here, General Marshall looks over the telecommunications room at the Chicago chapter with Mrs. Mary C. Mullen, central states superintendent of the system. veterans' organizations and other groups as to the roles each will play. It means that the committee knows where it can get critically needed supplies in a hurry. It means that the disaster committee has arranged with local radio op- erators to swing into action if the regular lines of communication are wiped out. In most sizeable dis-asters, these "hams" have proved invaluable. One reason for the effectiveness of the Red Cross work is that it can provide without delay funds to carry out relief and rehabilitation. That is why in its current budget there is earmarked $5,000,000 for these purposes, in addition to a re- serve fund of $7,000,000 kept on hand. thS t' min0r disast. tavolving . few famUles the disaster chairman of the chap! ter and his committee handle the situation with local funds or, : CLASSIFIED DEPART BUSINESS & INVESlT NIGHT Club, estinErrTr----- 5 on sale license, latest ; &equ1ip20.,0 real anw ',' sq Jwelfinii Ing, $65,000.

I am five years older, we have three very small sons. Edith is kind, capable, devoted to me and the boys, altogether a splendid person. Because of her extraordi-nary 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 one of her college crowd, was go-ing to call on me, in the hope of selling me three letters of hers. She distinctly recollected that she had written him but three times, for they had seen each other con-stantly 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 one interview with him will be my last.

I said no, I wanted nothing but that our life should go on as it has been, for all these happy years.

It seems that His Honor would go on an all-da- y spree once a month, and often had to be helped home.

The court said that drunkenness is a habit when it hap-pens this often even though there may be intervals of sobriety! May You Denounce An Auto Dealer For "Selling Lemons"?

The dread name of Fouche has become a synonym for the national police chief and spymaster the sinister, ruthless, unscrupulous intriguer whose tentacles (always he has tentacles) prod into far, murky corners. Fouche (pronounced Foo-sha-was Napoleon's chief dick, and he carried on in the classic manner. America has had such a servant, in Lafayette Curry Baker. He Is la-beled the "American Fouche" by the conservative Dictionary of American Biography. As secret service chief of Civil war days, he performed roughly very roughly a part of the job that J. Edgar Hoover is doing today in combatting espionage. America can be thankful that Mr. Hoover is an official of completely different character and outlook from Lafayette Baker. Baker was the founder of the secret service, but hardly a credit to it. "He glori-fied in his title of general but was really one of the worst rapscallions of an age in which rascality paid high dividends," the dispassionate historian George Fort Milton ob-serves. Liar, forger, braggart and show-of- f Baker was all those and more. He boasted so consistently that President Lincoln mistrusted him on instinct and had little to do with him. Baker was the creature of Ed-win M. Stanton, the hardshelled secretary of war. In protecting the citizenry and army. Baker uncovered a trade in obscene books and pictures some-thing of the sort that every police force and district attorney is deal-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 bon-fire of this sensual trash. Our pure minded president intimated that he would like to see the conflagration, and he enjoyed the sight with the test of a noble nature, to which vice was a loathing," Baker related.
