Thompson . . . hat saves head j met. The "hard hat," whiclt Is pre I scribed on this job, undoubtedly | saved his life. Thompson wtfs standing on a steel structure over 40 feet high. The blow on his hat knocked him un conscious, and an associate instant ly grabbed him to present his fall ing that distance. The associate was Henry E. Gent of Wellsville, N. Y., an erector for Air Preheater Corp. The ragged metal which curled inside the helmet would have ser iously cut Thompson's head ? ex cept for the cold weather. It was so cold he had stuffed his helmet .tight with old clothes. The accident occurred when riv eters dropped a 1.2-pound drift pin from 150 feet. The pin ? used to align rivet holes ? was blown through the holes by an air hammer and hurtled down with much more than the force of grav ity behind it. Fortunately, it struck a glancing blow and ricocheted off the helmet. Ebasco Services Inc., of New York City is building the CPltL plant and has won praise for its safety record. R. II.

Pink in its clearest ice cream hues, not yellowed or grev ed, is one o? the chosen colors. C?round colors such as white and crcam help emphasize the lively contrast at a design. Blues such as the deep penetrating Bristol blue, aqua, sky or the blue of the robin's etif are popular. All shades of yel low from pale lemon to deep mas tard are used alone or in combina tions for successful patterns. Pas tels go to charcoal, black, brown for chic color combinations. Gilt is used widely emphasizing a design, as part of the pattern or texture background. In both roller prints and hand screened prints abstract designs ! have made great headway. These are not confusing but offer more air space on background than be fore. Smaller designs on all mod ern fabrics lend quiet dignity. Cotton is a popular fabric whether sail, chintz, denim or chambray. The how-to-do-it trend is cotton's best booster because of its easy workability and washabili ty. There are attractive nubby tcxtured cottons such as one new cloth which offers 18 decorator colors and a soft pereale-type cot ton, resembling a loosely woven chintz that offers 50 designs in some .300 shades. tn hamLsci^qncd prints th^re are pearl frffc grid blonde beiges along with the pinks and blues. Strong purple and Chinese blue are used as accents in the spring collection of one manufacturer. Metallic threads brighten a cotton in tii is group occasionally, al though more gilt emphasis is found in the roller print collection. Casement fabrics in rough linen and rayon content achieve an open work. effect in a combination of linen, rayon and metallic thread of silver and copper. Fiber glass and nylon are faver cil for curtains with the fiber glass makiflg a Fargo splash wit ft a new marquisette weave. Lovers of fine lace curtains who are wiHing to sett To lot* machine-made vrfrfettes will find enchanting patterns in semlsheer cotton with a special fin ish lor easy laundering.

Study Needs Proper Light Ry DOROTHY C.RAHAM Cfll Home Upmfnbtlvf Now that our youngsters are bringing their homework home at , night, I wonder U we are- giving them the proper light to use. Study ing is difficult for most children under the best conditions. When we do not use the proper light for reading and writing we increase eye and body fatigue also. To hate a fable f3mp fhat fur nishes the right amount of Hfht in the right place, we need one whose height to the top of the re flector is 29 inches. The diameter of the diffusing bowl should be 8 to 9 inches. Thd minimum diame ter of the shade bottom should be 16 inches and the tower edge of the shade should be placed 13 , inches akove the table top. The shade should be light in color but not .transparent. We should use 50-100-150 watt three light of a 150 watt frosted bulb ia the lamp. A large paitel blotter over the desk top will prevent re flections and aVold contrasts with light colored papers. Placing the lamp is equally Im portant *ith making the right ae lection. Put the cenlet of the tamp ' base 15 Inches to the left ef the center of the book or papers and 12 inches from the front edge of the desk. For left handed perdoaa, place the lamp to the right of- the papers. Two-Way Smile Hutchinson. Kan. (AP) ?
