Achieving Color Harmony
Tiie masters of Grecian art con
sidered color and music to be very
similar in that the harmony of both
are spoiled by a discordant note.
To prevent colors from clashing in
any form of painted decoration, the
addition of a small quantity of white
or black to each color used will aid
in bringing about a pleasing degree
of harmony. , _ ,

‘Temporary’ Job
When her father, a freight agent,
found himself short of help 51 years
ago, Miss Edith M. Durham took a
“temporary” job to help out. She
liked the work so well she re
mained in the office for more than
half a century.
Columbus’ Gold
The cathedral at Toledo, Spain,
has a sacramental shrine 12 feet
high embellished with 260 statuettes
of solid gold. The largest of these
was made from the gold which Co
lumbus took to Spain after his first
voyage of discovery.
Blood Tests Monthly
Blood-tests every month have been
ordered to protect X-ray operators
in New South Wales. If the count
reveals a shortage of red corpuscles
they have to rest from X-ray work.
Continuous operating in the big hos
pitals is likely to cause anemia. If
this is not checked at the outset it
may prove fatal. The superintend
ent of a Sydney hospital describes
the X-ray as a “lethal weapon”
which, while killing cancer cells, is
deadly on other tissues if precau
tions are not taken. He added that
the anemia caused by the rays often
i is permanent.
Defrosting
To defrost your mechanical re
frigerator quickly, turn the unit off,
empty the ice cubes out of the
| trays, fill the trays with boiling wa-
I ter and replace trays in the super
freezer. You are able to defrost in
i about 25 to 35 minutes by using this
; method.
Snake Can’t Milk
[ A snake could not possibly milk
| a cow, even if the cow raised no ob
] jections. The shape of its mouth
i makes the feat impossible, and the
1 sharp teeth would stampede the
! gentlest of cows. It's just a snake
story that will not stand up under
sensible thinking.

Sex-Control Advanced
In Rabbit Experiment:
A score of lively rabbit families
recently produced at the Applied Riv
search laboratories in New York.,
added weight to increasing evidence*
that sex in mammals—-including'
humans—can be fixed in most cases*
before birth.
Biologists at the research instill
tion near Dayton, N. J., annoucecZ
that 97 out of 139 young rabSfts in.
the experimental group are of the
sex sought when the mothers were
i treated with soda or lactic acid be
fore mating. The normal sex ratio
j in rabbits is 96 males to 100 fe
males. This was violently upset
in both directions.
The rabbit matings are part of an
experiment to see if the treatments
affect color. So far color results
i are uncertain. But sex control
successes continue.
I During a series of tests conduct
ed since 1938, a total of 183 litters
of rats and rabbits have been ob
tained from mothers treated with
an acid solution for female offspring;
and alkaline solutions for male off-
I spring. There were 172 desired
I majorities, nine ties, and two fail
ures. Sex-controlled individuals
. ranged from 53 to 80 per cent, de
pending largely on the concentra
tion used.
Success after success reported!
from Dayton started to arouse con--
troversy late in 1938. During 1989 a*
group of leading animal geneticists,,
including Dr. Leon J. Colt- of the
University of Wisconsin and Dr. El
mer Roberts of the University of Illi
nois, quietly begun independent’ lab
oratory experiments. Both visited
Dayton and observed the work but
refused to draw conclusions unUl
they tried it themselves.
Green Walls Replacing:
White Ones in Hospital*-
The immaculate white of walls/
and linen that used to be the symbnti
of everything starched and sterfJ*-
in an antiseptic hospital is givia#
way in the operating rooms to au
new color, spinach green.
More the shade of spinach cook« 8
and creamed than the dark leaf
the raw vegetable, the new color rs?
being used for walls, for gowns ni"
surgeons and nurses, and for sheet*
that cover patients.
The color change-over is not ye#
complete, because there are still »■
good many white uniforms in the
linen room of hospitals that have
to be worn out. Besides cert am
older surgeons balk at giving up/
their traditional white.
The spinach shade was chose-iu
after several years of experiment
ing with tons of gray. No light*
meters or close measurements were
used in these tests, which werw
“just practical.” Green, it was de*-
cided, was the most restful color,
and since patients nowadays a/**
wheeled into the operating room al
ready anesthetized, the possible
nauseating effect of spinach was caff
\ no consequence.

Free Press
A “free and uncensorcd press'’'
can play a major part in cutting tin*
nation’s annual crime bill of sl6r
-000,000,000, Municipal Judge William"
R. McKay declared before th»
yearly breakfast of the Alhambrau
Chamber of Commerce.
“With an annual crime bill’ of
$15,000,000,000, with persons mur
dered at the rate of two each hour,,
with our prisons and reformatories
crowded to overflowing, we ore.
faced with a problem that damanriki
the close and observant attention) off
every thoughtful and patrio’ttc’
American citizen,” Judge McKay
said,
“A change in our procedure wfftl
play some small part in solving the
problem. But the chief factor in ef
fecting a reformation will be the
I creation of an intelligent public
I opinion, and this is only possible
J through a free and uncensored*-
i press.”
Solder Racket
j There are many and varied kinds.
I of rackets in this country, but its
! Cincinnati is a racket seldom heard
of. It is a huge and intricately err
ganized ring of solder thieve®.
There are always “fences” waiting
to buy it. One of the can factories
in that city has had whole truck
loads of solder hauled away at nigh*
—2,500 pounds and more, according*
to the company. Petty thievery of.
solder by workmen in tactoriec.
goes on all the time, police
indicate. There have even been «at
amples of machine operators boring,
holes in the floor under their m&-
chines, dropping a little solder down
the hole now and then, to a coafedi

Christmas Seal Origin
The Christmas seal was originated!
by Einar Holboll to fight tUbercuk/
f sis in Denmark. The first Christ
| mas seal sale there was hekPin. ISWu
! In an article in the Outlook mag*-
j zine, published July 6, 1907, Jacc&i
' Riis urged its adoption in this coub*<
try. Miss Emily P. BisseU„ .liwr
secretary of the Delaware branch of
the American Red Cross, read Mr.
Riis’ article and determined to try
the scheme in Delaware. She de
signed a seal with a holly wreath
and obtained enough money for tlje
printing of 50,000 stamps. Thesm
were placed on sale on December 9;
1907, in the Wilmington post office-.
The following year the Christmas
seal sale became nation-wide.
