Reason Who Has HI ad 27 4 ears Experience, Swings Brush A wonderful fine bit of paint fag skill is displayed n the work done by E. J. Reasor on the Ben Lomond Park borne. Mr. Reasor, who as he expresses It has "hung onto the handle of a brush for 27 years," was chosen for this task for nnmeroui reasons; D. -X. Bond, builder, puts chief among these his many years of experi ence which hare fully equipped h'm for and made hlra capable of carrying out the intricate color scheme used in the interior of the house. For example, the second floor demands nine colors, each bedroom and the hall being fin ished In different shades, which are here harmonized beautifully. Mr. Reasor by mixing the paints himself has acquired the exact shades desired by the bnilder. , Smooth enamel finish on kitch en built-ins, and woodwork in kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, and bathroom are the combined results of line painting and fine are. 1 Paint gaper Bails Smooth jFrom the satin-smooth results and clear colors shown In the Ben Lomond Park home the beauty of the. Monarch paint purchased from Doughton & Sherwin may easily be seen, but time alone tells the tale of this exceedingly unusu al paint. Its absolute purity makes possible greater coverage and a finish many times more lasting than that of the average paint. Because of these many fine quali ties Mr. Reasor selected this es tablished line of nationally fa mous paints. Where linoleum has not been used the floors are stained a gol den brown, shellacked, and waxed with materials produced by the manufacturers of Monarch paints, the Martin-Senour company, whose line of paints, stains and Tarnishes Is carried in Salem ex clusively by Doughton k Sherwin. Mr. Reasor, who has done all of the interior painting and stain ing. Is equipped to do all kinds of interior decorating, including pa perhanging, wall tinting and finishing. BAROXT CONFERRED LONDON. June 22. (AP) A harnoy of the United Kingdom was conferred by his majesty to day on Sir John Sankey, former lord Justice of appeal and now lord chancellor In the labor ad ministration. Ee will have the title of Baron Sankey and More ton, la the county of Glouces tershire. He will thus be enabled to-sit-ln the bouse of lords, be ing without a seat in parliament. - Not a matter of history bat of mere memory is the time when mother bought a bolt of barred muslin, pulled out the sewing ma chine, aa dwent to work making; up a supply of curtains Just as the made up a supply of sleets. To day curtains and drapes are an important part of the interior of any home, and as such are listed among those things which should be cared for by experts. That the results of this new at titude toward curtains and drap eries are more than satisfactory may be seen by a tour of inspec tion through the finished and fur nished interior of the Ben Lomond Park Home. 1 Here Homer Leisy, head of the drapery department of the Impe rial Furniture company, has dis played great skill in the blending of colors and selection of fabrics. Rosy Red Shade Used In the cream and mahogany tir ing room where a rosy shade of red hi used la rug and upholstered furniture Scranton lustre lace cur tains in spider weave with over draperies of rich crimson lustre velour lined with ecru satin are hung on wrought Iron rods whose end ornament conforms with the design woven Into the corner of the curtains. 'French - marquisette with a fringed base is used In the dining room. Here the draperies are of imported French-block cretonne, which Mr. Leisy now buys direct from the mills In France, eliminat ing the middleman, thus not only insuring the genuineness of the material but saving the customer money as well. The.eurtalns at the upper landing window con form with those in the dining room. The kitchen is bright and cheer ful with curtains of orchid and green swiss carrying in embroid ery the design which is used in the tile. House Dressed In Its Best In fact, the entire house is cur tained and dressed In its everyday best, for its opening to the public today. Even the little octagon window upstairs has a specially planned sheer curtain mounted on a frame. Mr. Leisy has had very thor ough training and ranks as one of the leading decorators on the coast. He has been doing drapery work since 1914 when he started it as a means at working his way through eollege, and has been at filiated with some very large drap ery departments. Since coming to Salem Mr. Lei sy has acquired a large following not only in this city but in other towns of the valley as well. He was recently selected to drape the two fine new Potter residences in Eugene where he is well-known. Fills Orders on Big Scale He has filled orders as far south as Oakland, Calif., and as far east as Wichita, Kansas," during his connection with the Imperial Furniture company in Salem. Because he does know what is worth-while in the line of draper ies Mr. Leisy Is able to purchase direct from the mills both here and abroad thus saving consider able expense and adding one more faet to an already over-long list of reasons why mother's bolt of barred muslin and sewing ma chine are out of date as far as curtaining the modern home is concerned. .' II HILL SLOPE USED k true type English house, de signed and bnilt to conform to the contour of the hillside is the Ben Lomond Park Home. It was designed by Harry B. Boland, of the Universal Plan service, Port land. - A beautiful and popular com binatlon of shakes, brick, and stucco has been used forming a color scheme-of dull dark green. cream, and brick red. which Is most suitable to this architectural design. Mr. Boland and his firm not only draw individual plans but carry a very complete line of stock plans for homes and business buildings, and are responsible for the designs of a great many new homes in Portland and Salem. By specializing in residence plans they have been able to de sign some of the most individual and beautiful residences on the Pacific coasL Rugs, Floor Must: Agree Rugs and Floors Should be lit Harmony in Every Home Did yon ever realise that your I agree?

Iarfemtal Cbior So, la order to avoid such a cat astrophe, see to It that your ruga and your floor are suited to each other. For Instance, If you hare picked up some Oriental rugs, say the rich-toned Kashans or Ker manshahsi you will want a rich background, one which will show off their beauty. For this purpose, what could be more delightful man a orown-etained floor Tar nished oyer with a flat varnish which imparts a duU richness in keeping with the rugs 7 The domestic rug, such as. a Wilton or Axmlnster. may rest on a varnished floor which is either dull or shiny.

Green, blue and tan are more often to be found there, for they blend Into the rugs and make a harmonious foundation on which to base a feel ing of comfort and peace. 9 IXDUX ROADS FIGHT BUSES Railways of India are making strenuous efforts to meet the growing competition of motor bus Uses. Rail passenger travel is dropping off and earnings - are declining. Some- railways are im proving their services and reduc ing fares, but these have not giv en all the results desired. One line has started rail motor service, and a number have inaugurated bus lines as feeders. . One road, which has lines paralleling the highway has added 52 passenger trains and 48 short-distance shut tle trains. In spite of this the number of passengers carried last year decreased by 100,090, as compared with 1927.
