IN THE AVERAGE HOME
By 1>. HILL CARLTON
Color, that magic, pliahlc ma
terial of decoration, can do things
for every home. U can make a
room seem larger or smaller, cool
er or warmer. It can lower ceil
ings or pu?h them up, make a
w'all recede or advance.
Color can establish the mood of
a room. It can make a north
room gay. flood it with sunshine,
can make a big bare room into a
snug little haien. It can make a
room restful, studious, 'shy, friv-
^k)us,. glamorous, -breath-taking.
But to make color do these inlngs
to a room, one must know vrhat
the qualities of each color are.
To teach Mrs. America the emo
tional effects of various colors,
this Spring one of the big paint
companies is distributing a mam
moth color guide—an eight-pound
book full of two-foot-square col-
1 or photos of rooms and exteriors
—that enables the householder to
see various color schemes as they
actually will appear. No longer

On exteriors, brown nas always
been a favorite color, particularly
on wood shingle houses. It is a
most -effective color for houses
designed to blend into the land
scape. houses that impress you as
being almost as much a part of
the spot they are located on as
the trees, flowers and shnibs.
Brown roofs make a tall house
seem lower. Brown can ofter help
in two-color combinations to
bring a house into more pleasing
proportions. If your house is too
high and narrow, try brown on
the upper part, cream or yellow
below, and you will have a color
combination that improves the
architectural lines of your home.
“Cream is a capti^'ating comiii-
nation of sunny yellow and crisp,
clean white. Year in and year out
it is one of the two most used
colors for interior and exterior
home decoration . . . painters,
decorators and home owners find
it one of the most versatile and
adaptable of all.
The very high light reflection
value of cream makes it ideal for
rotnns that are otlierwise dark
and drab, or for those room.s
wliere a great deal t)f reading or
workif.g is done. A cream ceiling

spots that are the real cm use of

iHiistic of this attractive color
that altliougli it is derived from
yellow, an advancing color.
used on the ceiling and
walls has a receding effect, with
a tendenc\ to incr(‘ase the ap*par-
ent .-ize of the room.
Cream is almost as great a
foil for other colors as white
and gray. It blends perfectly
with atiy color you can lay your
brush to.
On the outside of yonr home
you’ll find it has almost as good
beat reflecting qualities as white,
is often more appropriate when
there is little color in the sur
rounding landscape. You may
paint yonr shutters ami doors in
any color--bright i)lue. green or
i-ed—to add sparkle and hospi
tality to y o u r cream-colored
home.”
Careful study of those and the
tdhor colors explained in the
paint company’s Sty'a Guide can
not help but u.iake every “re-dcc-
orator" color consUous and color-
wise.

ABOUT LAWS AND
LAmSSSNESS
ProblmFw
When the Creator of the uni
verse sot His hand to write laws
to govern all mankind thru all
the ages. He wrote just ten very
brief and easily comprehended
and rememl'ered laws. Thru all
the years since, men have tried
to improve on what Deity had
given, and have created confus
ion worse confounded thereby.
Man has writt m enough fool
laws to blanket ti:e earth ’steen
feet deep. A statement recently
published in the metropolitan
press says that there are more
than five million laws on the
statutes of America. Freedom is
iinpo.ssible under such a condi
tion. Prosperity is equally as im
possible. So long as we attempt
to control by law every act of
men just so long will cost of gov
ernment grow like a green bay
tree and just so long will con
fusion worse confounded in-
When Margaret Mitchell wrote
of "the red earth of Tara,’* In
“Gone with the Wind,” she un
wittingly set up a tough prob-
jlem for the Technicolor cameras
j of Hollywood.
And in ten words on the first
page of the novel, she nearly baf
fled them again. She wrote of
Scarlett O’Hara: “Her new ^een
flowered musUn dress spread Its
twelve yards of .billowing mater
ial over her hoops.”
The costumes worn .by Clark
Gable. Vivien Leigh, Leslie How
ard and Olivia le Havilland. as
well as those of featured players
uiu! thousands of extras, comprise
the colors of the spectrum and
supplied diverse -production prob
lems. In addition, there were the
brilliant backgrounds of planta
tions, of army action and of the
whole pageant of the Civil War
era.
California soil was painted red
to duplicate "the red earth of
Tara’’ in Georgia. Wilbur G.
Kiurtz. noted Atlanta historian,
and resident technical director of
ihe picture, shipped five hundred
pounds of native red clay to
Selznick International studio,
•'•uore “Gone with the Wind’' was
filmed. Now, after two years of
crease.* ......
Today we have ^ | arduous but exciting production,

There is not a private cifiztvi
in America who can not be haled
into conn and kept tiicre rro!ii
now on. under e.xisting laws. OiM'
most re.spected citizens are no
more exempt tluin our known out
laws. Respect for law is being de-
doslroyed by Hie huge volume of
uninforced a rnrl uninforceable
laws.
As an illustration of the laxity
of the law and the lethargy of
the public to obey the law. I
might mention that at the en
trance of the village of Moravian
I-'alls, there are boards erected ly
the Slate Highway Commission,
reading. “Speed Limit. 25 Miles
Per Hour.” The.se .signs represent
a mandate of law And I feel safe
in saying that tills “mandate” is
violated at least 500 times a day
by as many motorists. What is
true of Moravian Falls i? true in
illages all over the State.
U i.-, an old axiom that when
men are pure, laws are usele.ss;
when men are corrupt, laws are
broken. Hut one thing is certain,
we are in a mess of lawlessness.
And politicians will never clean
up this mes.'^. The people might.

Hal Kenton, chief of construction
al Selznick Studio, and Lee Za-
vitz. special effects expert, took
aniplcs of Kurtz's Georgia mud
to Hill Brotbers' Chemical Com
pany in Los Angeles.
Brick dust failed because of
its weight. It settled too fast in
action scene.s. Talc was imposs
ible due to its sticking qualities.
It would have caused prohibitive
cleaning charges for costumes.
Twenty-four hours later the
chemist delivered a truck load of
red dust at the studio. U was
packed in hundred pound bags
and cost $20 a ton. It matched
the Georgia soil and the formula
was no secret.
They used tile dust from local
kilns. Director Victor Fleming
ordered twenty tons of the
stuff. It was spread on exterior
sets and on sound stage.s. Some
of it was transported to locations
a hundred miles distant. It re
sponded to natural and artificial
breezes and was easily brushed
from clothes. In a few weeks the
red tile dust was “gone with the
wind.” Red and yellow lights
were played on billowing smoke
clouds for the spectacular i-cenes
that followed. The color cameras

Plunkett explained. "We fovnd

books ^oing as far hack as 1840.
We designed from a Godey’s La
dles’ Book. Naturally, with color
cameras working, and the most
critical audience ever expected
for a picture, we had to be
right,"
