Color Lighting

Monotony of Furnishings and
Home Scheme Relieved
hy Novel Illuinina*
tion Effects.
Tile settings of the home nre more
or less fixed and monotonous, hut an
element of variety is obtained hy
means of decorations, furnishings,
pictures and various ornaments. The
housewife attempts to overcome this
monotony hy rearranging the furni
ture, and is successful to some ex
tent. A vase of flowers is welcome
for Its new note. A fire In the fire
place occasionally achieves this re
sult. Lighting is a powerful ally in
the constant struggle against monot
ony. By varying the lighting ef
feet in the room, not only are the de
tails altered In appearance and rela
tive consplculty. hut the expression
or mood of the room is changed.
Color lighting offers a great op
portunity for variety in home light
ing. There are good reasons for be
lieving that we are on the verge of a
new era of lighting In which color
ed light will play a prominent part.
In fact, there are many indications
that the "music of light" Is beginning
to appeal to serious and sincere crea
tive persons. The color of our walls
and furnishings Indicate that we
choose extremely opposite colors,
namely, subdued tints and shades,
with which to live. Our absolute pre
ference, however. Is still for pure
hues, and this is evident to some de
gree by the colorful bits of ornament
which we have is our surroundings.
In lighting, for example, we have
a greater opportunity for using color
to satisfy this pleasure than in dec
oration and furnishings. We can en
joy a spot or a flood of colored light
Lighting the Closed Porch
Elfctrir lights cunningly hidden in a hanging fern basket is a delightfully appropriate form of indirect
lighting for the enclosed porch.
Don'ts for the Housewife

Don't buy cheap furniture expect
Ing it to brighten your home. One
good piece of furniture yv11! be a last
I ing Investment and bring greater sat
isfaction.
Don't patronize "bargain Rales" ex
peeling to get something for nothing.
In the long run you get only what
you paid for, besides the "bargain”
may have not been the article
needed, merely serving to clutter up
your home.
Don't use the guest room closet as
an auxiliary storeroom. Kesides be
ing decidedly bad form, it 'a humili
ating for the guest.
Don't neglect to get out of every
room Iri the home every day all the
possible enjoyment. Good, service
able furniture .means much to home
life.
Don't "throw” the furnishings into
a home. Study the rooms, their pos
slhllities, weigh the color scheme,
make it homey. That's one of the
successes of home life.
Treat your furniture as you would
want to he treated. Don't kick it
around. Give it attention, keep it re
paired. Consider that gnod furniture
is an appreciated heirloom.
Don't place the mirror in your
guest room so the light will fall upon
it The light should fall on the face.
There’s nothing more tantalizing than
a mirror that is not serviceable.
Don't fail to keep your home in
keeping with the times by occasion
ally buying an pxtra piece to "dll in"
a room where such a piece would he
appropriate and serviceable. I'ou
will find this a good investment.
as long as we desire it. and then by
pressing a switch we make It dis
appear. Thus we are able to have
the pleasure of color in lighting
which we must deny ourselves in dec
orations and furnishings because we
must live w i^li the latter constantly.
The colored lights for general Illum
ination in theTiouse should be of I ght
tints and should do their work subtly.
Such an iliumlnant is the light from
an incandescent lamp tinted to match
the color of the candle flame. Its
color is felt, rather than seen. The
future is certain to witness the in
troduction of tinted lamps, for the
householder will demand them when
He has sensed their charm. There
are places for lights of the purer
colors in the home, hut they are for
spots of light or for a novel effect to
Le used occasionally.

Brick Protection

Digest Indicates

Digest of National Manufac

Dealers l ace Season
With Confidence.
With nearly a thin] of the brick
pTanla In the I'ntjed States shut down
largely for seasonal reasons, produc
tion in at the highest mark that It
has reached in recent- years, the
Monthly Digest of conditions in the
common brick Industry reported last
week.
The Digest, which was prepaied hy
the Common Brick Manufacturers as
sooiAtlon of America, said that hriek
manufacturers throughout most sec
tions of the country face the coming
building season with confidence, and
are producing to the maximum of
their ability Under existing weather
conditions.
1‘lants Closed.
Reporting for the Sixth district
which includes N'ehraska, brick rnanu
facturers said that five of the six
plants were closed through the win
ter. There are now 3,442.000 burned
4arick on hand In the district, and
40,000 unburned bricks. The manu
facturers have orders on their books
for 1,170,000 more bricks. The price
at the brickyards nuige from 110.25
to J18 per thousand. Other states In
this district are Dakotas. Minnesota,
Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
"The one section of the United
States which still lags behind In build
ing Is the agricultural district, just
west of the Mississippi, centering In
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska,”' the re
port said, "In all other sections an
unusual amount of winter work has
been going on and the demand for
brick is larger than a year ago,
and except in a few of the most Im
portant building centers, even ex
reeds the phenomenal demand in the
early months of 1920. The report
made last mi,nth. indicates that the
■ market is now in the healthiest eondi
tlon It has experienced since before
the war. The situation is much more
favorable than In 1920, for ial^ir, fuel
anil shipping conditions are far bet
i ter.
i "Of the plants closed down at the
| present time the majority are “sum
liter” yards, not equipped to operate
in cold weather.
tost Increasing.
"If is the view of a considerable
number of manufacturers that the
cost of production is increasing. This,
as usual, is due to increased labor
cost and increased fuel cost. The
composite price, according to ail
manufacturers reporting at the pres
ent time, is JJ 4.45 per thousand.
This is the first month in which there
has been shown an increase in price
of any account during more than a
year. The peak price is found in
the east and along the Atlantic sea
hoard where $20 is I lie maximum re
ported. The lowest price is in la
honta anrl Texas w here n rent over
production ha* resulted in some sale*
as low as 17 [ter thousand.
“With no Immediate danger of a
coal shortage the manufacturer* a* a^
rule anticipate that they will b* able
to sell |,rick durmg the building sea- ;
son of 1923 at prices no higher than
prevailed duting 1922, although the
demand may he greater and the sup
ply in some sections may be inade
