Color in Illumination !

A New System for the Home

A New System for the Home With anticipation let us step into the studio of that clever Miss Irwin, the feminine representative of the Illuminating Engineer Society ot New York, whose new science of color, or applied psycho-chromatology. Is attracting so much attention, says Grace T. Hadley of the Society for EIectricj.1 Development. In the hallway one encounters an agreeable r irprise in “The Drum." a huge columnar color filter fsiling the entrance with colored light while- in the studio with Its light applegreen walls, light ceilings and creamy woodwork, still other illuminating surprises await the visitor. "Every color possesses three effective values and these are sedative, re cuperstive and stimulant." says Miss Irwin. "A color i* sedative when it has power to induce contemplation, reflection, indifference, resignation, recuperative. when it can create con dltlons of change, expansion, conten:ment, cohesion, while stimulant colo.-s are those which . cite hope, ecstacy desire, ambition, aspiration, action. Joy. peace, ambition, spiritual renewal r-nd fresh growth." Here indeed is a recreated system of lighting or a reconstructed illumination for home, hospital, stotv and studio. The principal purposes of color in illumination an* utility, beauty and hygiene. The liberation of color from conventional design is an essential element of this new system. Pool* of Color "Why illuminate your home s-lth spots of light scattered here and there*" demands Miss Irwin. "Why pot utilize the special vihratorv values of color? Why not have pools of color Instead of spots of white light much of which is glare?"

Possibly one does not fully real ire how much glare there is in the ilgh' tng world until one has recovered or recuperated from it under Miss .'rwlns system of tllamination. It is in deed restful, reposeful, serene, charming in its promise. •Quite spun from the ethical 1m■•ortance of the color sente." says Miss Irwin. "Its development has a very practical bearing on our work, our home*, public buildings, gardens. ?p parol, on everything that makes life dignified, lovable an J interesting and can hardly afford to remain in ignorance of Us practical benefits, especially In the art of interior decoration and illumination.

"Halls and entrances, instead of being sombre, should radiate recuperative oi stimulant coiorr. Sedative or recuperative tints are most suitable for dining rooms, stimulant colors ioi 'ception moms, recuperative and sedative schemes for bedrooms. The most important point to observe, hon•ver. is that every surrounding should meet the individual requirements of the person who owns it." In “The l.igtlng Art." Mr. Luckiesh. the famous physicist and Illu mlnating engineer, thinks: it is not too theatrical to set a large decorative panel of opal glass In the ceiling of a dining room and .n install red. green and blue lamps above It in a space which has been painted with a permanent while coating. If these lamps are controlled by moans of three sliding rheostats concealed in the wall any desired tint and intensity of light may be obtained. How such a control of Usht may be utilized In adapting the lighting to th“ spirit of the occasion is left to the imagination of the reader.

Of late years a lot of wild chattel has been going the rounds about Stephen Collins Foster. Now Schirhas Just bought out an official biography of the famous composer, written by a musician. Harold Vincent

Milligan.

Although Foster’s birth dates back to only 1826. a body of myth has grown up about him almost as if ho mediaeval times. And. inreed. when one looks Into the facts of this man's life, this is not strange. The Unromantic Bohemian It was a curious, unattached, sordid existence. He seems never got himself established, in his less thsn 38 years of life. He consorted with odd. flotsam-and-Jetsam sort of people. He tried college, but after three weeks of that gave it cared only for music. even his published music brought him little certain fame, was said not to be original, that he used actual old negro melodies for his songs that he took from this source that. When his most popular song appeared in print ("The Old Folks Home," afterwards called “S.ranee River") the name of Dan Christy, the minstrel man. appeared on the cover as author and * omposer. This wadone at Foster's own request, for b< was afraid that the composition of negro songs really hurt his reputation ■ a sentimental balladist. The record of his death Is depressing in the extreme. He had long ago taken to drink, and his wife and daughhad left him. At this time he was living in a Bowery lodging house New Y'ork City. In the dark, somehow. he is supposed to hare fa.len broken pitcher and cut himself badly about the throat. He was taken Irom the lodging house to the poor ward of the Bellevue Hospital whete he died in a f ew days. Speaking of the wild reports that have lately been current about Poste.-, his biographer d- flares: 'There is pathos enough In realit: without painting the picture in any dsrker colors than need be. Stephen’! last days in New York were mlserabh rough in all truth, and his death was •ne of the saddest of all those recorded in the old. old story of nn happy genius. Stephen's downfall probably the result of a gradual disintegration that bad been going oi If we shall never know th< exact circumstances, w know enough to awaken a sense of pity Let us endeavor to avoid the highly colored palet of the special writer on tue one hand and the obliterating whitewash hrush of the special pleader on the other."

'em swarming. Make sure the que.-n has abundant room for egg laying, see to it that necessary shade is provided. keep weeds and other obstructions away, and as the honey flow opens provide plenty of storage space, most colonies of be»s prefer to work rather than swarm if they are onlmade comfortable. A sitting hen and swarming bees are in the same boat when it comes to egg or honey pro-

duction.

Treat your bees right and be pnI>are<i and the result should be certain if nature will only smile for the nexthree months.

Cotton Seed Meal Found to Rank Among the Highest Grades

Agricultural Experts Say it Often Contains as’ Hirf a.. 47 Per cent Protein

The Bureau of Chemistry, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, ha? recently completed the analysis of a large number of samples of feeding stuffs. Including those of cotton seed feed and cotton seed meat, which have recently been sold in the State. A few samples analyzed weie found to be a high grade, containing In one ca*'' high as 47 per cent of protein. This product came from Texas and was sold In Erie County for $86 a ton. In the same co"n!y . another shipment was sampli which was found upon analysis to contain only 35 per cent of pro and to be loaded up with an ex-,

which sold for $82 a ton. For tb, difference, therefore, of $3 8 colt . seed meal, containing 12 prr J'* protein could have been purejl This situation Illustrates the sT known fact that it does not pay to bi, cheap feeds as it costs le*s mwi0 . ‘ the long run to purchtve high analy,'. materials which, as a rule, do DO t com bus a HtUe more a ton.

Between January 1 and March 31. 1920. inclusive. 4.899 flasks of quick sliver, each of 75 pounds net, was produced In the United States, according F. L.

This is 852 flasks loss than the output in the fourth quarter of 1919 and 1226 flasks less t!ain in the
