MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. A Sunday, Jan. 24, 1960 New Drapery Is Vertica Br JOYCE SCHULLER United Press International Chicago-TOPD-There's a new kind of .draw drapery for windows with radiators un derneath or set-in air-conditioners.. It's a vertical drapery that draws up rather than to the sides. A Chicago manufactur er soon may offer a ready- made version of these verti cal dra Denes, which now must be made at home or custom-made with a special tape; available in many no tions departments. Cords on either end of the draperies allow them to be drawn up more in the center, if desired, to form an arc around a radiator or air con ditioner. . : Whether vertical draperies are drawn up higher in the center or evenly, they hang in graceful scallops when open and do not gap in the middle when closed, as many conventional draperies do. Yet they look much like con ventional draw draperies when closed. When partially opened over a group of three windows, vertical draperies do not bare the entire center window, ex posing the rod, window sash and pully. Conversely, open ed vertical draperies hung at a three-window grouping do not cover up large portions of the two side windows. . Vertical draperies used to keep out the sun's direct rays can be left partially open be cause the sun comes in at the top of the windows. ; Directions available with the tape show how to make the draperies for sa ordinary rod or with pinch pleats. .

T. Nichol reviewed "The Harmless People" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas at the January 20 meeting of The Wednesday Study club held at the Girls Community club. The author, a Boston wom an and graduate of Radcliffe college, accompanied three expeditions to South Africa. The book is an account of her last expedition into the Kala hari desert, the land of the Bushmen. The expedition was under the auspices of the Peabody Museum of Harvard. In addi tion to the author, the group was composed of three uni versity professors, a physi cian, cook, mechanic, photog rapher and the author's moth er, father and brother. They carried their equipment in five trucks and a jeep and lived with the natives for two years studying their customs and habits. The book includes a description of the land, peo ple and their customs.. Mysterious The Bushmen who live in this vast dry bush desert are described as mysterious and the most primitive people liv ing on earth. They travel about in family groups and live in the open or among the dwarf trees. The women gath er roots and melons and what ever the desert provides for food and the men hunt with bows and poisoned arrows. They were described as a generous people and share whatever they have with their immediate families and the neighboring groups. There are between 30,000 and 50,000 of these dwarfs whom the author describes as a shy and frightened people. When a cloud of dust arises indicating that someone is ap proaching, they will hide and watch. This is a matter of self preservation as the ' warlike tribe of large natives from the north capture the men for slaves. The Bushmen are described as a kindly people and have high moral standards. They are musical and sing songs in which they tell of their daily experiences making them up as they go along. They also have their native dances. The medicine dance is performed to drive away epidemics and Young Fashion World... Filled with everything that today's knowing, growing girl needs in head-to-toe fashion .... styled with an excitingly young outlook that fills her every expectation. Particularly a world where prices are light and easy on that much-to-be-considered family budget. - footed comfort Sizes 5 to 10 cushioning crepe. Pert, practical, and so popular Sixth and Central Meeting disease and the rain and sun dances are also done purpose fully. Silhouettes Mrs. Jack Swem also spoke. She told of the origin of the art of silhouettes and how the first are associated with Mad ame de Pompadour. Silhou ettes grew in popularity and early in the 19th century the art was introduced in this country. The few remaining silhouettes from this period are greatly prized. Mrs. Swem sketched the life of Francis Marion Smith, known as "Borax" Smith, who discovered a white sub stance in Nevada in 1872 which proved to be borax. He amassed a vast fortune in re fining the substance and man ufacturing borax for commer cial uses. He acquired large property holdings and did much to develop the San Fran cisco bay area. She closed the program with a discussion of mistle toe and holly giving many legends connected with them. The early Celts believed that mistletoe had a special charm against witches, thunder and sickness. Holly has a religious significance. In olden times the berries were a favorite food of sacred robins and the prickly leaves and blood red fruit symbolizes the crown of thorns.

Nation of Parkers New York -4UPD- Sixty per cent of America's coffee drinking families brew the beverage in a percolator, says the Pan-American Coffee bureau. The first percolator was made in 1800, .eight cen turies after the discovery of coffee as a beverage. Its in ventor was a Frenchman, Jean Baptiste De Belloy, whose design worked more like today's drip pot than a percolator. It filtered boiled water through ground coffee held in suspension by a per forated metal or porcelain grid. Massage Chair A reclining chair does the work of a masseuse.
