Marriage Slump
Matrimony slumped with

,' The Metropolitan Life In
surance company rep o r t e d
that the number of marriages
in the United States decreased
about 4 per cent in 1958, the
second straight year of de
cline. There were 1.456 million
weddings in 1958, compared
with 1.518 million in 1957 and
1.5-85 million in 1956. ' The
1958 marriage rate - 8.4 wed
dings to 1,000 population in
cluded armed forces overseas
-was the lowest recorded since
1932.

ly the decrease was related to

Stinging Insects
Prefer Light Colors
New York -UPD- Are you
making yourself "attractive"
to stinging insects?
White or light-colored cloth
ing is less provocative to bees
than dark colors. Experienced
beekeepers consider clothing
color most important.
Smooth, hard-finished kha
ki, drill, or nylon clothing is
less attractive to black flies
and mosquitoes than blue den
im or serge. Suede or other
leather materials are irritat
ing to bees.
Hair oils and perfume also
should be avoided. The floral
odor apparently attracts bees.
Once entangled in clothing or
hair, bees are inclined to
sting, even if it was not their
original intention.
Biting insects are more in
clined to attack a moving ob
ject than a stationary one.
"To flail wildly at an ap
proaching bee is one of the
worst things to do," warns
Dr. R. A. Morse, of Cornell
University. .
"It usually is possible to
retreat unharmed simply by
using the hands with the fin
gers extended as a shield be
fore the face and moving slow
ly from the vicinity," he said.
When stung, experts recom
mend looking for the stinger.
It should be removed as quick
ly as possible with a finger
nail in a scraping motion.
Influence of Color
St. Paul, Minn. (DTD-Coloring
in a room has more to it
than meets the eye.
Some colors may induce fa
tigue, like a bright, turquoise
against bright red, while oth
er color combinations may cut
down working efficiency or
cause adverse moods, warned
home economist Gertrude Es
teros. She said color selections
for homes are too often based
on fashion or personal whim,
with no consideration for
practical factors.
Hose down bamboo, reed,
cane or wicker furniture oc
casionally to prevent it from
drying and splitting.
