Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH ' i 1 Economical Cougl, j WOMAN'S WORLD Properly Framed Pictures Will Liven Any Livingroom By Ertta Haley PICTURES can add more to your 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 properl-y- 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 for the sake of effectiveness. Making unlike pictures somewhat alike can frequently be done at home with good matting and fram- - Allover Tucking ' i - - ' s . . . -" , J pita :, i.. ;ssra I t ' ' I ,9 imsmwrn 4l mmsm This smart casual dress illus-trates some important fashion trends of ' the season with its allover, stitched tucking on navy silk tissue faille crepe. White pique is ased for the shoulder-framin- g sectional col-lar, buttoned with rhinestones to give the new wide lines at the top. Navy leather is fea-tured in the belt. 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 four related prints framed in a single large frame. This, too, will give you one large picture. Give Small Prints 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-a-ll 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. Many 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. 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 Banging 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. 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 in the hall or even a room. The better the pitcure is 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. 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-- Use wall space properly . . . ing. When you do the job yourself, do it with the care and attention of a professional, and your pictures will look that mvtch the better for it. Relate Pictures To Decorative Stylo To observe the rules of balance and unity, use traditional pictures in the same 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 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 pBIClCli plllii for pictures and plates, 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. Relief! Try Thl$ Home Mixtun No Cooking.

In fact, the return for each dollar spent for feed in the production of eggs and milk is below the 1935-3- 9 average. For each dollar of feed the farm-er spent in the production of hogs, cattle and sheep, however, return is higher than the 1935-3- 9 average. In the production of eggs the farmers received $1.72 for each dol-lar spent on feed during 1935-3- But as of September, 1950, he was receiving only $1.56.

Brucellosis Is Danger in Work LTHOUGH FARMERS are in A constant danger of getting from cattle and swine, veterinarians and P"ug workers run an even according to a report in the Jour nal of the American veterinary medical association. ' The report, made after a jo nt survey by the U.S public health service and the Indiana state board of health, declared that brucellosis can be regarded as an "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 od more than 600 veterinarians. Considerable numbers of pack-inghouse employees also showed exposure to the disease. Numbers of reactors to the test were high-es- t 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. KATHLEEN NORRIS Lost Confidence and Illusions "TTOW CAN WE HELP our 1 daughter?" writes Lucy Cot-ton, from Duluth. "Fay is 24, our only child, but we had my nieces, whom I will call Meg and Emily, living with us for many years. Emily married at 19, three years ago, and has a baby son. Meg worked in an insurance office and was married last year. "Neithr girl is actually as pret-ty as our Fay, but both are attrac-tive, confident and popular. Of their small estate only a few hundreds are left, but Fay will inherit enough from us and her grandparents to be financially independent. How-ever, both Harry and I thought that she should find occupation, too. She completed a course as a kinder-gartne- r, but did not care for the work; later she and a friend opened a tea and gift shop, in which her in-terest did not last long. The girls sold out, and Fay went in seriously for amateur theatricals, having real talent in character and comic parts. She also worked hard as property woman and prompter, and we hoped she was reaUy started. Imaginary Infatuations "However, a year ago, she began to give unmistakable signs of nerv-ous disorder. She shut herself away from us, sometimes was absolutely silent and moody, sometimes talked fast in what a psychologist later called 'elation.' (We took her to our best mental man, who did help, and papers her engagement to a man I am convinced never had the slight-est romantic feeling for her. He is a business associate of her fa-ther's which makes it the more Reporters telephoned him, and he went to see Harry, and we were saved publicity, at least, but Fay took the matter very lightly, laughing it off by saying that apparently the man had changed his mind. 'Whom your fastidious daughter had the honor to refuse!' she will say when any man's name is in the paper; wheth-er he is engaged, or going to the front, or has been given some honor or promotion. "My husband and I can't bear to see her going on into middle-ag- e like this. When she was a small girl she did romance about things; we expected her to outgrow it. But it seems she never has. How can we help her?" Since she is still very young, and since she has some property to give her a sense of security, I would, in her case, spike her guns in advance. You and her father love her enough to do this subtly and tenderly. Don't harp on it. But re-mind her often that you see through it. Tell her that you and her friends know that she wants to marry, that it is quite natural, but that only by occupying herself in some hnsnital nr Red Cross or charitv work so terribly needed now on all sides! can she learn to forget herself, distinguish truth from fable, and make real friends among the sort of men who interest her. Perhaps your strongest argument will be that if she decides to grow up now she can make a good life for herself, but that in 10 years she will be confirmed as the sim-pering, flirtatious old maid. In she has worked up a flock of romances for herself, and childishly exults in them, un-conscious of the fact that these fables don't make sense. . , best mental man . . advised care, love and time as the cure.) From what she told him he gathered that jealousy of her cous-ins, perhaps unconscious, was part-ly the cause. "Fay seemed better, and for a few months was more like her old self. But now there is a new phase, infinitely distrubing to me. It be-gan, I see now, when she told me last summer that her psychologist was not only in love with her, but had made improper advances. As he is a married man of 50, with three sons, I was at first shocked, and then incredulous. I persuaded my husband to talk her into giving up treatments from this man, which she did. "To make the rest of the story short, Fay now believes, or at least asserts, that at least half the men she meets are infatuated with her. Her cousins' husbands, their male relatives, our clergyman, even the postman and grocer are all by turns supposedly under her sway, and she relates her affairs with these men with a relish that makes my heart ache with pity and shame. "How Can We Help Her?" "Yesterday she announced to the Steps to Help Curb Swine Enteritis Are Outlined The American Foundation for Ani-mal Health outlines seven steps to help curb swine enteritis. 1. Isolate d swine from the home herd for at least three weeks, until they are known to be free of disease. 2. Control internal and external parasites which weakens the ani-mals' resistance. 3. Keep swine away from old hog lots, contaminated pastures, cow pastures, stagnant pools and other 4. Keep feeding and watering equipment clean. 5. Check rations carefully, espe-cially possible deficiency of vitamins. Prevent over-eatin- g of rich concentrates. 6. Earmark sows and their litters to identify and weed out sow "car-riers". 7. Watch for scouring, loss of weight, and failure to feed into gains. At the first sign of trouble, get a diagnosis and isolate the ail-ing animals from apparently healthy ones. . ONCE OVER Nobody's Money Is Classed 4--F By H. I. Phillips ONE FEATURE in Secretary new tax bill is a 20 per cent greens-fe- e tax for golfers. This is the first proposal for a tax on walking, crabbing, muttering and adding INCORRECTLY! Your troubles as a golfer may soon be due to the fact Truman and Snyder are GRIPPING the club too hard. Nothing Is certain but death, bigger tax bills and a vacuum cleaner in every wallet. This time Washington is not only drafting money but taking it without a physical. Your dollar Is going to war no matter what shape it Is in. Mr. Snyder's new proposals call for a pick-up and delivery service. The government gets you, cleans you, presses you and delivers yon back in a federal automatic dryer. If you smoke, drink, chew, wash, shave, listen to Howdy Doody, fol-low Uncle Miltie, own an auto, need an Icebox, carry a watch, play golf or take a glass of beer before going to bed this one will take you for plenty. "Taxes are paid in the sweat of every man's brow," Roose-velt said 20 years ago. That was covering minimum anatomical ter-ritory. You can't get enough from a brow to pay one installment today. Mr. Snyder's latest Ideas In-clude a tax rf 20 per cent on new automobiles This means putting the bumpers on the own-er Instead of the auto. The tax on a de luxe sedan can be as high as $800. That used to buy a bus and allow for extras. An-other three or four-cen- ts bike looms on gas. The day is at hand when the AUTO will have to take the MAN in for repairs and adjustments. "Happy motoring!" (When you say that, smile!) The dashboard panel of tomorrow may include an aspirin ejector, a pain killer, a blank check printing press, a stiff drink mixer, direct radio commu-nication with your fiscal agent, a speedometer to tell how fast your bankroll is going and an automatic guage to indicate when an OWNER has run down and needs recharging. Take off that windshield wiper! There's nothing ahead but the Dem-ocrats anyhow. It is the new tax on golfing that is the big surprise. It's really a "tee" tax. Truman thinks only the Republicans play golf. In our book a golfer already pays plenty. Look at the liquor tax he becomes liable for before he gets out of the locker room! There's a tax when he phones the wife he won't be home for dinner. And after he gets home there's a fight that can only be settled via a mink coat, tax or no tax. But cheer up, hackers! Every time you miss the ball you will be doing something for your country. The longer you are in a sandtrap, the more you may be helping the defense effort. Even a missed putt can be patriotic. (Fore! One side, men, and let those revenue boys through!) Tire Tether I . STAKE f Instead of tying a tether di-rectly to the stake, fasten it to an old automobile tire casing and then drop it over the stake. Tle latter, of course, should be much higher than ordinary so the animal will not pull the tire off the stake. This keeps cattle from winding the tether around the stake. Just How Old Is Oldest Turtle? News Dispatches Hint Some Last 1,000 Years Two giant sea turtles, on recently captured in Australia's Tasman Sea and the other taken in Korean waters 15 months ago, were cen-tenarians when the Battle of Has-tings was fought in 1066 according to the first news dispatches telling about each. The cabled reports blithely ven-tured in each case that 1,000 years would be a fair estimate of the captive's age. If so, they were hatched and swimming before Leif Ericson was born. How's that again? The turtle, scientists agree, has roamed the earth's lands and seas in virtually unchanged form for 200,000,000 years. It saw dinosaurs come and go, and witnessed the development of mankind. Nor do scholars dispute the fact that the turtle is the longest living backboned creature on earth today. Uniformly, however, the men who know turtles best look askance at, the idea that any of the stolid rep-tiles alive today antedate, say, the Spanish Armada (1588), or even the voyage of the Mayflower (1620). Chemical Blossom Thinner Raises Yield 15 Per Cent Research men of the U. S. depart- ment of agriculture with orchardists of the northwest report that for the fifth successive season the chemical thinning of blossoms in golden delicious or-chards has resulted in gains that average six boxes a tree or about 15 per cent. The new thinners were used on an estimated 20,000 acres this pa::t sea-son. |
