►I m NE by one, science is smsshing Life's lovely illusions. The latest to go is the chubby little lamp with the highly colored shade that was wont to hold sway in mi lady's chamber. Science haa pushed it off the bedside table once and for all, by declaring that the human eye requires quite as much light to read i^bed, as it does to read any place O Purpose of “Boudoir" Lamps The ten units of light which nor mal eyes need as a minimum for comfortable reading cannot be sup- C" d by anything less than a 60-watt p bulb, and the so-called “bou doir lamp" usually boasted only a 25-watt. A comfortable reading pos ture implies a wide circle of useful light, which can be obtained only by a lamp with a reasonably tall base and broad shade. The boudoir lamp had neither. So since it provided too little light for reading, and didn’t throw “that little" in the right place, it has been relegated to a decorative role in the home, and a new lamp haa come to take its place on the bedside tables of the land. Although the new lamp is really of some use, it is quite as attractive aa the boudoir lamp. In general it is characterised by a tall base, but slender so that it does not appear out of scale with the small bedside table. The height of the base makes a broader shade suitable. This com bination insures a wide circle of use ful light on the book of the reader in-bed, who can now enjoy a com fortable reading posture and no longer needs to be a contortionist. Neither is there any further need of squinting, for the new lamp, being larger, carries a lamp bulb of the 60-watt size, equal to the task of providing enough light for norami eyes. For use between twin beds, ths lamp with two arms, two bulbs, two shades is proving very popular, since it enables two to read com fortably as well as simultaneously. The convenient height of the jun ior floorlamp, its broad shade and three sockets combine to make it admirably suited to bedside service too. ' —rikl. . Although these lamps are pri marily practical, doing a real light ing job, they are in tune with tho most frivolous bedrooms. The shades are tinted to carry out th« color scheme of the room, quite as effectively as the highly colored shades on the old boudoir lamps. Deep color is not good for lamp shades, since it distorts the real color scheme of the room, and ab sorbs much of the light that our eyes really require. Avoid High-Colored Shad«« Again at the dressing table, shades of high color have been discarded, and in their place we find palely tinted or white shades. Twin lamps,- tall enough to bring the lamp bulb at the face height of the person be fore the mirror, shaded in pale Kchment, enable madame to see self “as others see her," which any woman knows is a decided ad vantage. In the bedroom the ceiling fixture comes into its own. In no other room in the house is there so much need' of general illumination — to "get the effect" of a frock, to find the right accessaries in bureau drawers and to aid in the location of elusive collar buttons. But even in the bedroom a bare bulb must be kept from view, so the center fixture must have shades, either small indi vidual ones of glass or parchment, or a larger globe that shields the en tire fixture from view. coquille VALurr sentinel , coquille The fol loving letter has been re ceived from the land bank commis sioner of the Farm Credit Adminis tration at Washington, D. G, by R. H. Mast, secretary of the CoquiHe Farm Loan Association, who gives ! the letter publicity in order that those seeking loans may ue savsd un warranted expense in making their applications: It has come to our attention from time to time that there are private individuals in various parts of the country who are holding themselves out aa having influence or some au thority and ar« soliciting applications for Federal land bank loans. In some csiscv charg«« have been made against the borrower by such persona that are out of all proportion to the service rendered. Generally speaking such service may be had by the borrower through, authorised persons such aa secretary-treasurers, correspondents, or debt conciliation committees with out expense other than the regular application fee. We do not want any thing to develop in this system that will reflect upon the gbod work being done to assist farmers by the secre- tary-treasunra, the correopondenta, the debt conciliation committees, and the officers of the land banks, and we hope that every effort will be made by you to protect applicants for loans against unwarranted charges. Medal for Outstanding Man at C. M. T. C. Camp Governor Julius IL. Meier will award the governor’s medal again this year to the moat outstanding Student from Oregon attending the 1984 Citizens’ Military Training camp at Camp Hurlburt at Vancouver Barracks, it was announced this week. He haa notified camp headquarter« of his wil lingness to continue the award. Tho governor's medal, a much- prized trophy, heads the Hat of awards which have been made annually by various individuals and organizations to students at the camp. For the past two years it has been matched by a similar award from the governor of Washington, but the latter official has not yet signified whether or not he will renew the prize. Although the enrollment campaign is not being pressed as strongly this year as in the past because of the re duced quota, nearly 280 application« were on file today. The camp, which will open July 5th and run for the us ual four weeks, will accommodate 228 students. Camp authorities were es pecially anxious to sseuro mor« appli cations from Red or second-year stu dents, who have not yet Ailed their char« of the quota. Basic students also will be admitted this year. ———I ■ ........... I Civil Service Examinations O regon , F riday , june n. i » m .
