the floor and ceiling. In other
words, you stretch out the limits of
the room by inference. As a good
example, you might lay out two
squares, each 2 inches square. In
one, draw lines a quarter-inch apart
vertically; in the other, draw lines
a quarter-inch apart horizontally.
Keep them about 6 or 8 inches
apart, and you will declare that the
vertical-lined square is quite a bit
higher than the horizontal-lined
square. This optical illusion idea is
followed out in decorating.
All decorating is expensive, and
it is not an item on which to waste
your money. There are many homes
in the country where the owner has
seen fit to live with bare undec
orated walls for months before he
made up his mind about his dec
orating scheme. We are in favor of
the idea. Live with your rooms for
a while; do not hurry; search and
study; look over all the decorating
schemes and ideas that you can find

Churchill Plea for Ties
With U. S. Assailed
By the Associated Press
LONDON, April 6.—The Labor
party, in a resolution proposed for
its annual conference in June, would
be called on to “repudiate Mr.
Churchill’s defeatist proposal to
make the British commonwealth a
mere satellite of American monop
oly and capitalism, which will in
evitably lead to our being aligned
in a partnership of hostility to Rus
sia."
More than 400 resolutions—40 of
them critical of British foreign
policy—were published last night for
discussion at the party’s confer
ence, scheduled for June 10-14. a
fight was in prospect over an ap
plication of British Communists for
affiliation with the Labor party.

U. S. Professor Drafts
Plan for Democracy
In German Schools
|6y tha Allotlatad Prut
DETROIT.—A grass-root plan for
Introducing German children to
democratic practices by giving them
a voice in their school affairs is be
ing drawn by a Wayne University
professor of secondary education.
Prof. Earl C. Kelley recently asked
to put his policies in simple hand
book form for the State Department,
following a proposal to department
officials by Richard Welling, chair
man of the National Self Govern
ment Committee, Inc.
The committee, founded in 1904
by Mr. Welling, a Harvard class
mate of President Theodore Roose
velt, has spread the idea of ‘‘teach
ing responsibility by giving respon
sibility” to make boys and girls
public minded.
The basic idea, says Prof. Kelley,
is “to make each student of high
school age feel that his school
wouldn’t function so well if he
weren’t around.” The idea is put
into practice by giving students a
role in school affairs and teaching
them rules of parliamentary pro
cedure.
If applied to the American occu
pation zone in Germany, emphasis
would be placed on free speech and
democratic participation in class
room meetings, student councils and
similar units. The program would
be designed to provoke discussion on
any subject under guidance of a
chairman.
"As you know," Prof. Kelley ex
plains, “every English or American
citizen realizes from the start that
he can make a motion at a meeting.”
He emphasizes that he does not
intend to supply German school
children with copies of Roberts’
Rules of Order, the Bible of parlia
mentari&ns. Instead, ne suggests
instruction in the simplest regula
tions on how to conduct meetings
or discussions.
"Let them learn they can speak
under a set of rules—that they can’t
speak all at once. About all we
would give them would be instruc
tions in how to conduct discussions
—who shall speak, how to make and
amend a motion, who's out of order
and how to adjourn,” Prof. Kelley
explains.
He realizes any program of this
type in Germany would suffer set
backs “because the people are cold
and hungry” and their first problem
is to keep alive. At the same time
he believes an early education in
town-meeting principles promises to
undermine German authoritarian
ideas.
