HORE A AR By Charles Sughroe L \ \ J OE ER J] Nl HE selection of wall paper best suited to the rooms of a dwelling is not a matter to be given slight con sideration. The design Is of major fmportance, no less than the color. The exposure of any specific room 1s a guide to color for it. The size and shape of the room Is a gulde to cor rect choice of pattern. The exposure of a roem signifies its position In re ation to. the points of the compass A room In the north part of a house Is said to have a northern exposure. One In the southwest part of the house, that 1s one with windows on south and west so that light comes from both sides, Is sald to have a southwest exposure, ete. lecanuse Hght from the north is cold, it should Influence the selection of paper for a room with windows on the north side, which let in no sunlight, or practical ly nene. Seleet Paper That Will Reflect the Light According to the exposure the room in connection with the amount of sunlight It gets, (8 it cold or warm in its natural lighting? It should have wall treatment to either a lack of sunlight or a flood of it. These are the reasons why a north, northeast, or northwest room should have a warm while a south, southeast, or southwest room does not require it. * The most pro nounced warm colors are yellow sug gesting sun and red suggesting fire, But, since red is an inflaming and frritating color In proportion to its intensity, it has to be handled with care when ased for decorative pur poses. Yellow, on the other hand, Is stimulating rather than irritating and shades, tints, and tones, of it can be successfully employed on walls, Proportions of Room It i» not the exposure, but the size and shape of a room, as mentioned before, which determine the style of of counterbalance Paper, design or pattern to have In a paper The reasons for this are geometric. They have to do with counter-balanc ing of high or low cellings and the proportions of wall and floor space The pattern of a wall paper can sub tly make a room appear high or low studded, and larger or smaller than it actually ls A wall paper with stripes makes a ceiling seem to be higher because of the gpright lines which tend to make the vision follow their perpendicular extension.

The fear of death. while not the most important or most serious, is perhaps more common than the other two, The fear of poverty and diseasé seems to at- tack those In more mature life, the fear of manifests itself to persons of almost #11 ages. While the less dangerous from a psychologl cal polut of view, the fear of death Is the most terrible Persons shudder at the thought of it and a superstition still clings to many circumstances connected with the ex- perience. Some persons still believe it is a sign of approaching death for one to see In a mirror the form of a dead person; or, to pass between car riages in a funeral procession is an ill omen, Much of this fear would be dispelled If we could only stand just what does happen in the event of death. It Is not a case in which, “Who knows what dreams may or, & condition of semi-material afterward. Death Is the most natural experience in the world while death doubtless under Death occurs when the When the Leads “Green Wave” Floyd “Little Preacher” Roberts of Stigler, Okla, is the captain of the Tulane football team this season.

Strange that we should ex- alt the body when it Is of so little value, Place a true value upon the body and one of the causes for fear of death will have been removed, The fear of death will also be dis pelled if we think of it more as a transition than a finality. Death is only the passing of the personality from one state of existence into an- other, It does not mark the end of things, in truth it is the beginning of a larger and more beautiful life. Ime mortality is being proved true today, not only by teachers of religion; but, the latest discoveries in the field of science attest the reality of an immor tal world. Death cannot destroy those things we love, any more than it can destroy love itself. “Love Is stronger than.death,” said the wise man of long ago. A wonderful journey into a world of spiritual realities seems as though It might be heartily welcomed for those whose race is run.

In 1881 Dr. Car los Finlay of Havana accused speci Geally the mosquito, jut the guilt of the mosquito had not been proved, First to submit to bites in the army investigation was Doctor Carroll. He was severely stricken with yellow fe ver, but recovered, Doctor Lazear applied to himself the mosquitoes that had infected Doctor Carroll. No results. One day 8 mos quito lit on his hand. He let it do its work. Five days later he was seized with yellow fever, It raged through Lis system and in ten days he was dead. Reef had been to Washington to report and retorned after this death to obtain further confirmation that the mosquito, stagomyia fasciata, was the transmission agent. Privates John J Moran and John R Kissinger volun teered. They had enlisted to fight for the Stars and Stripes: now the “black vomit” was attacking their comrades and had killed Doctor Lazear. Said Major Reed: “Gentlemen, 1 malute you.” They were isolated. Kissinger was bitten by five mosquitoes and devel oped a typical case of yellow fever, He recovered.
