Gives Hints For
Choosing Colors
A great artist once said. "When
the Creator fashioned the humming
bird anil the butterfly He gave them
brilliant colors, but when He created
the elephant He made it taupe."
The same rule may be used bv
women in selecting colors for their
ciomes, said Miss Julia Melver, assistant
extension clothing: specialist
at State College.
Stout women should select dark,
quiet color3 to minimize the size of
their figures.
For the unusually slim woman
there must be no dull, drab colors,
no black or dark brown. Black has
a slenderizng effect. 'Hie slim woman
may choose the lighter tones, pastel
tints, warm though not brilliant
hues.
White and the warm colors, red,
orange, and intermediates, give the
effect of nearness and largeness.
Shadowy textures seem further away ;
or smaller.
The colors worn must be considered
in relation to tnc individuals col- I'
oring. People differ so widely in coloring
Miss McTver said, that they
cannot be classified simply as blondes
and brunettes. ('.
For this reason it is Impossible to \
recommend certain colors for blondes
and others for brunettes and consider
the color problem solved.
The safest way is for each person i'
to try various colors next to the face
choosing colors which emphasize the 1
best beatures without calling attention
to bad ones.
If the eyes are the best feature, \
while the hair and skill arc not so
good, do not emphasize the eyes at
uier expense or tne nair anci SRir.. The '
skin is the first consideration, she,
said.

Ill Health Likely
To Cheat Electric
Chair of Aged Man
Winsum-Saiem.?"llie state cannot j
sentence a man to die of ill health,
but opinion here today was that this j
is the only death for white-haired
John Henry Hauser, convicted four j
years ago of murdering his son-in
law in an argument over piowui&
corn
Hauser was SI '.vhen he was sentence!
to die for shooting Fred Sty- j
ers on their farm near Moeksville but
death's hand - raised to strike by the
jury's conviction -was caught by the
Supreme Court.
Then, as the higher court called
tor another trial on grounds errors
had been committed. Hauser became
suddenly id of pneumonia; and legal
death retreated to the shadows the
electric chair had thrown across the
octogenarian.
Now. four years have passed and
Hauser has become weaker. Kismind!
once agiie, wanders as he sits brood- !
ing in the virtual seclusion of a pri- !
rate nursing home near here.
\V M. Hendron, his attorney, said ;
today; "I have not heard from myj
client in six months but. I presume
bis physical condition is such as to
prevent his appearing in court."
So. the lawyer said, it appears the ;
white-bearded old man will not face j
the law again, for the courts have j
ruled him unable and incompetent to j
stand trial.
It was on May 18, 1931. but Styci*3
stood outside a screen door at his
home contending that ground was dry
[though to plow. Hauser said the
ground was too wet. They argued
further, and the father-in-law raised i
.lis shotgun.
I only meant to shoot at his feet
:o scare him," said Hauser, oldest!
nan ever to he sentenced to die in
'.his state. "I just didn't get the gun
o\v enough."
But he said he did not regret his ]
ict.
Styers' relatives have tried to press
he case and even have filed suit for j
s7o 000 damages for the death?but
lie courts arc bound into inactivity
jy the defendant's invalidism.
Hauser sees no outsiders and his
!\?mily will not talk of his case. But
Termed sources said his mind waniors
and that he often ?s incoherent;
