Keynote of Successful Modern-Interior, Found In Use of Color lly Joan Overton The keynote to a successful modern interior is the pleasing use of color. In planning a room, once! the type of furnishings have been determined, the pivotal point is the color scheme. The change from our lately sombre interiors has been emphatic, for not only have draperies, upholstery, etc., been affecter, but walls, woodwork and even furniture. Painted furniture has at all times been acceptable for many uses, and throughout the history of furniture some of the most artistic pieces have been in color. But at no time has it fitted in so perfectly with the general scheme of furnishings as at pres ent. Chintzes and cretonnes of gay colorful design, plain rugs of deep, rich hue, light walls and woodwork for such a setting, which is typi cal in the modem home, painted and lacquered furniture seem es pecially designed. It is perhaps even more welcome in a sombre room that has not been renovated to meet the modern demand for color. Here is single piece, bright ly lacquered in Chinese red or jade green, may do much to brighten things up. In a dull bedroom or dining room, painted furniture throughout will be the better choice. The vogue for color, especially in furniture, is a happy one, for it brings within the reach of peo ple of moderate means pieces of the most r.rtistic kind. In addition to the more u3ual type of painted or enameled furniture breakfast sets in blues, greens or yellow, bedroom sets in ivory, gray or green, nursery and kitchen furni ture there are many, modern re productions that bear much of the artistic quality of the antique pieces, the exquisite Venetian cab inets, the dainty bedroom furniture of the period of Louis XVI, and the lacquered chests done with such perfection In the Orient. The beauty of this furniture de pends largely upon decoration. dull, artistic finish. Decoration in soft semi-transparent colors free hand or stencil designs or even decalcomanjas adds to the richness of these pieces. The de sign is completed before the an tiquing is done and its colors given a soft, rich tone with the glaze coating is used more heavily about the decorative designs, as well as in grooves, corners, etc. High lights show on the large, flat sur faces. A secretary or cabinet is often lined on the inside with a con trasting color. A very attractive combination for a cabinet or sec retary is jade green or yellow .ochre, antiqued to a dull shade, and decorated with a free band design in several soft tones. A trim of dull gold striping decor ates the drawers or doors. The inside is painted a flat burnt or ange, which is not antiqued. It is often possible to find in antique shops pieces of unusually good lines that many beJiad at low cost beeanse the . finishN la hope lessly marred. Such pierea may "be refinished after using a paint and varnish remover, or in some cases sandpapering will be sufficient. New unfinished pieces of good lines are also to be had at . moder ate cost. Painted furniture has the ad vantage of being inexpensive. But its intrinsic beauty, rather, and its fitness for the modern scheme of furnishings have established it in favor. In no way can the bed room be made quite so dainty or the sunroom quite so cheerful as with furniture of this type. In ho way can the living room be given greater distinction than with a single fine lacquered piece.- It is the choice of those who can afford the best and is yet within the reach of those with whom practical considerations of necessity come first.

EGNER - - 1815 Center Street "Pliones &32 and ISIO-W t rtne Fixtures Cfinilcnt P.nninmpnt LUMBEH Mi A telegram from Secretary Jar dine said that in selecting Colonel Greeley, who has long been iden tified with forestry and the pub lic interest in forest conservation, for a position of leadership in the future work of the association, West Coast Lumbermen have tak en a constructive course. buc cessful forestry in the United States, the secretary of agricul ture pointed out, depends largely upon the stability and permanence of the forest industries. It in cludes sound industrial organiza tion, sound merchandising of for est products and effective utiliza tion of raw materials no less than commercial growing of timber. As a major in the 10th Engi neers in France during the World War, Greeley was in control of 95 sawmills, more mills than have been operated by one man. These sawmills turned out more than 2,000,000 feet of lumber daily for use of the Allies. For his war work he received a citation for meritorious service, the Dis tinguished Service Medal; the Legion of Honor and the Dis tinguished Service Order. "This is good news, wonderful news, for the lumber industry," said Wilson Compton, secretary and manager of the National Lum ber Manufacturers Association in Washington, D. C, upon receipt of the official announcement that Col. Greeley had accepted the manage ment of the West Coast Associa tion. "In the first place," Mr. Comp ton said, "it demonstrates the es sential unity of the science of for estry and the lumber industry, and will be most encouraging to the latter. Col. Greeley, I am sure, would not have accepted the leadership of the Douglas fir in dustry if he had not been .con vinced that he had a broad and favorable field' in which to follow his chosen profession. In the sec ond place, his appointment signi fied the beginning of a new and better period in the organized Douglas fir Industry." Brick manufacturers In the Northwest are recommending with out reservation to home builders the use of the hollow wall built of brick known as the Ideal Row- lok-bak Wall. This wall used in England for centuries has again been revived and is coming Into general use through omt the United States. The wall la built with one layer of .brick laid flat as in the ordinary type , of brick work and one layer laid on edge with a separating air space of about 2 Inches, both sides being tied together with header brick ex tending through the entire wall thickness. According to United States Bu reau of Standard's tests, this wall is about 90 of the strength of solid walls of equal thickness so that from the strength standpoint the wall is more than ample for residence construction and is used as well for larger structures such as churches, garages, apartments and other types of buildings where only moderate loads occur. The exceptional value of the wall for residence construction lies in its excellent insulation. It should not be used, however, without be ing furred on the inside before lathing and plastering. This fur ring is accomplished by nailing 1x2 inch or preferably 23 inch strips up and down the wall upon which the lath are then nailed1 ready for plastering. Without! this furring all masonry walls have a tendency to "sweat" due to. rapid temperature changes that take place in homes coincident with the presence of the desired amount of moisture in the interior air. All heavy masses take some time to become heated or raised to a high er temperature and by the same token retain their heat for some time after being heated, thus the very quality which makes for even heating of the home due to mason? ry walls tends also to sweating. This heat-holding attribute Is best illustrated by the common practice not so many years ago of heating a stone or brick to keep the feet warm during a long Jbuggy ride. Likewise "sweating" is illustrated by the condensation Into smalt par ticles of water of air moisture on the outside of a glass of cold wat er in a warm room. The presence of this condensed air moisture on the inside of ma sonry walls upon which the plaster has been placed directly in contact with the masonry when the tem perature of the rooms has been - x; ? - . ; --A Butler finish hardware, cigar light er, and pockets In both rear;doors add to the car's equipment.

In the upper left hand corner, shining from a field of glossy black enamel i a bolt of lightning, symbol of speed. Be neath these ia a horizontal panel extending across the face-of the shield carriyng the name "Dodge", the letters of which are dark blue enamel with French Gray outline and nickeled edges on a white background. The bottom of the shield is blue surmounted by a large white numeral "6". The conventional design of lightning and the oak, tree are executed in white metal. Oxi dized nickel is used in the wings. Borders of the design are in French Gray, which blends very nicely with the other colors.
