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.

'The Harmless People'
Reviewed at
Mrs. R. 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

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.

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. It sends
heat through the body and
gives a massage to stimulate
circulation. A control panel
is concealed on one side, and
an automatic timer guides the
amount of heat and massage.
The chair comes in a variety
of muted leather finishes or
upholstery fabrics.

Subject of
GuildMeet
The January meeting of the
Ruth Esther Wesleyan Serv

church. .
Mrs. George Reneker had
arranged a worship center in
keeping with the year's
theme: "There is a light upon
the mountain." Behind the
Bible was a large picture of
snow-crowned Mt. San Jacin
to, looking down over fertile
valleys and arid desert lands.
A living cactus plant placed
in the foreground contrasted
with the mountain. The spiri

Mrs. Reneker who led the de
votions for the evening.
Mrs. Dale Flowers, program
chairman, stated that "City
Missions", would be the sub
ject of the program; Mrs. Wal
lace' Peabody "presented the
study material. .
Mrs. : Peabody related that
there are missionary projects
of the - Methodist church in
practically every large city in
the country. Sometimes these
are home-like dormitories for
working girls with low in
comes. Sometimes - they are
kindergartens or nursery
schools. Most often they are
health and recreation centers.
To some, mothers come for
training in infant care or to
learn to sew. In fact, all ages
and whole families are bene
fited through these mission
centers.

Family Counse
Explained for
Gold Hill - A proposed fam
ily counseling service for resi
dents of Jackson county was
discussed at a meeting of the
Gold Hill, Parent-Teacher as
sociation last week in conjunc
tion with a panel discussion
"What Makes a Happy Fam
ily."
Guest speakers were Mrs.
Henry Padgham and the Rev.
Thomas McCamant, both
working on the committee for
family counseling service, and
Harold Snodgrass, president of

Mrs. Ogden Kellogg, presi
dent of the unit conducted the
session and Mrs. Marie Bran-
nock, second grade teacher at

ance which provides help for

ing service. It was said that

into operation a qualified pro
fessional person's salary could
be paid with the funds that
it requires to support three
families who become depend
ent on welfare because of f an
ily problems.
