MONTH FOR HUPP
Indicative of the Hupp Motor
Car Corporation's plans to mke
1927 the most successful year in
its history is Its statement that
shipments of Hupmobiles during
February were 4106 cars. This is
the greatest February shipment in
its history, and Is a 49 per cent In
crease over January.
Its March production and ehip
ping schedules have been set at
the highest figure the company
ever attained, says R. S. Cole, gen
eral sales manager.
"We are continuing to increase
our capacity, .both In our eight
and six cylinder divisions," he
said. The demand for each of
those cars this year will be the
largest we have ever enjoyed. Ad
ditional plant capacity will become
available the latter part of- this
month and In April. This Trill per
mit of : material gains over our
record sales of 1926."
Mr. Cole reports that shipments
of two of the three Hupmobile
Eight custom body models were
started in February. These three
models, of Dietrich custom design,
are the town car, sedan-limousine
and. five passenger sedan. Ad
vancedmodes of design and con

are found in each model. One
feature of these' custom cars that
the company Is stressing is the

Theman who developed the first
airplane radio transmitter has
joiiied the forces of the Crosley
Raiio corporation.
7hls man is Ralph n. -Langley,
cn of the leading engineers of
th radio industry. In his new
capacity he will be assistant to
Pqwel Crosley, Jr., and will have
supervision, under Mr. Crosley, of
thte corporation's technical and
engineering enterprises.
;For six years past Mr. Langley
1 s had charge of receiving set de
velopment for the General Elec
tllcal company at Schenectady.
He fathered many important de
velopments in radio and was inti
mately connected with the crea
tion of the super heterodyne.
' He supervised construction of
tbe first combined receiving set
and loud speaker.
Mr. Langley's most conspicuous
achievement probably was the
perfection of the first airplane
transmitter. This was accomplish
ed when he was connected with
the Marconi company at Roselle
Fark, N. J. He also directed the
tusts of this apparatus at Norfolk,
Virginia. m
Mr. Langley ranks with the
most distinguished scientists in
the industry. He was one of its
pioneers and he has been one of
tin leaders in its progress. -
Mr. Langley has been a propon
ent of the use of frequencies in
stead of wave lengths in radio de-
Eiftn. He predicts, in the near
future, the development of a re
ceiving set calibrated in frequen
cies instead of wave lengths. This
set, he says, will be a single dial
control with 96 channels, equally
spaced on the dial.
He also foresees the develop
ment- of a combined radio and
television apparatus, with the
lour speaker behind the screen.
Both the receiving set and' the
television apparatus would be op
erated by the same dial.
Mr. Langley already has assum
ed his position with Mr. Crosley,
SELECTING COLOR
SCHEMES IN ORDER
Every Homeowner Soon to
Be Inspired by New Life
Spring Brings Forth
By Janes Stewart
The days are fast approaching
when every home will be Inspired
by the new life which each spring
brings forth, to keep pace with the
freshness of nature. Drab exter
iors will seem out of place in a
setting of bright green leaves and
blooming foliage. Then, too,
spring is a convenient and favor
able time of the year to paint be
cause of weather conditions. It
will generally be chosen by the
home owner who is primarily in
terested in the preservation of his
property, as well as the one who
is chiefly moved by artistic con
siderations. In painting a house, even if the
owner is paintiig for purely econ
omic reasons, due consideration
should be given to beauty. It is
just as easy to apply the paint.
It requires a little forethought and
care. Color, which always plays a
dominent, role in determining ar
tistic effect, is particularly Im
portant for the exterior of homes.
Even more than the lines and con
struction of the house, it reflects
the character of its owner. It
can be an expression of cheer and
life, or one of depression and
gloom. It can make the home
pleasingly modest or glaringly
conspicuous.
Several points must be taken
into consideration in making the
selection, the size, the type, and
the location of the house. A large
h o u 8 e with fairly extensive
grounds,-is adapted to almost any
scheme. But a small house on a
small lot, requires particular
thought. Light, 'bright colors give
an effect of Increased size and are
therefore well adapted to such
conditions. A good point to re
member is that a trim lighter than
the background makes a small
house look larger, while a trim
darker than the background gives
the opposite effect.- For instance
a small house of pearl gray might
well be trimmed in deep cream.
whereas a good combination for a
larger house of the same color
would be dark gray.
The present tendency is to
break away from conventional
color schemes. In fact, experience
has proved the popularity of
houses of unusual exteriors, which
are found to sell more readily
than those of more conservative
tone. The usual white and green
for colonial architecture is fast
giving away to deep cream or
Ivory with sage green or blue
shutters and trimmings. Even
yellow Is sometimes used for this
type of house, with blue. The
c o m blnations appropriate
for houses which belong to no
particular period or style offer
endless variety colonial yellow
and dark tan; dark gray and sage
green; light cream and pale olive
green; stone gray and gun metal
gray; ivory and medium blue.
These are but a few of number
less attractive schemes. A new
Idea may often be evolved simply
by varying the tint of a conven
tional combination cream and
blue, green, for instance, is, more
interesting than white and green.
However, the more striking
combinations are not always suit
able. For a house prominently
located, a soft neutral tone is far
better, being somewhat recessive
in effect. The bright .colors, so
pleasing amidst trees and foliage
make an unsheltered house glar
ingly conspicuous. Again, when
neighboring houses are close by
and are brightly painted, the ef
fect of the whole must be consid
ered. Due though given to these sev
eral factors will be well worth the
trouble. With the coming of
spring make sure not only that
your house is armed against the
ravaging effects of weather by a
protective coat of paint, but that
the colors selected are suitable,
pleasing and artistic.
Rumors of Unsold Lumber
Stocks in East Discredited
PORTLAND, Ore. (Special)
Rumors of a steady accumulation
of unsold west coast softwoods at
the new Mystic river lumber ter
minal of Wiggln Terminals, Inc.,
near Boston, and the prospect for
a great deal more before spring,
have been discredited by officials
of the terminal company, accord
ing to a dispatch from Boston
published In the Four L Lumber
News here today. Says the re
port from Boston:
"Since the public lumber ter
minal opened its service for west
coast shippers and eastern con
signees 12 weeks ago, according to
the officials, a total of 12,000,000
feet of west coast lumber has been
unloaded there. Now remaining
in storage at the terminal there is
only 1,000.000 feet of fir, hem
lock; all the rest has been sold
and delivered and part of the
1,000,000 feet in storage has been
sold and is waiting shipping
orders.
