Selecting Ituzs
In selecting rugs the question ot
size Is cry Important If a rug Is
too small It contacts the visual sire
of the room ond tends to crowd the
grouping ot the furniture In the
average room the rug should have
not more than a foot ot floor mar-
gin Floor coverings of unrelieved
solid color tend to disturb color bal-
ance In a room and for that reason
are hard to use in arriving at
homey livable effects Such mono-
tone emphasis on the floor may
have on unbalancing result similar
to that produced for example by a
brcakfront 8 feet long dominat-
ing the side of a 12 foot room

Navy and Cable and Wireless Ltd
hunted for some four miles of volu
abt armored cable pirated practl
colly from under their noses
The cable Mas on the ocean floor

In sight of a company station
They hacksawed through about
half a mile of cable only 704 yards

while Chief Engineer John Cockburn
directed the splicing In the first
break the pirates hauled in another
17 mile length two miles away
In three raids during five nights
the pirates got away with 4 2 miles
of cable Cockburn said
I dont know which was cheeki-
est the fact that they mode the
first cut only 704 yards from our
station or that they were busily saw-
ing away while I was testing what
I thought was an anchor break
Cockburn said
Cockburn has a hunch they phn
to melt the copper and sell the steel
wire on the black market
