More Dangerous?
If you prefer pure colours to
tints and pastels in clothes and
furnishings, the chances are that
you are an emotionally well-bal-
anced extrovert. You are prob-
ably a good mixer, more mater-
ialistic than those who prefer
tints, and Consistent in your
views and thoughts.
It you prefer tints or pastels,
you are more likely to be the
introverted type, a thinker
rather than a doer, sensitive to
criticism or inclined to feel that
others don't understand you, Al-
though prone to introspection,
you probably have better taste
and judgment than the people
who prefer pure colours.
These are among the discov-
eries recently claimed by psy-
chologists and scientists who be-
lieve that colour plays a very
important part in our lives and
emotions.
Interior decorators and home
furnishing experts have long
suspected that different colours
In your home have varying ef-
fects on your emotions and atti-
tudes.
Now the scientists confirm that
rooms with blue walls or decor
are soothing. and encourage a
relaxed environment. B right
colours - yellows, pinks, and
some greens - can be exhilar-
tting and conducive to a stimu-
lating and cheerful atmosphere.
On the other hand, drab grey
walls promote fatigue boredom
and discontent. Both grey. and
black act as depressives.
But red is the colour to treat
with kid gloves. Apart from
drivinga bull to distraction, it
has a disturbing .place in the
arena of human emotions.
Tests have shown that red,
whether es the predominant col-
our in clothes or room decora-
tion, increases tension, creates
restlessness and agitation, and
appears:.to make time pass more
slowly:
A psychologist, in a recent
test, put a highly tense woman
in a red dress and sat her with
him in a room decorated in the
same colour. She was so affect-
ed that, within minutes, she. had
knocked over a vase and spilt a
cup. of coffee.
When the psychologist switch-
ed her into a green dress and
took her into a room with blue
es the main theme, she acted
without any nervousness at all.
Greens and blues, claim the
scientists, have a calming effect
on people and also make time
appear to pass more speedily.
Possibly the most outstanding
deductions come from tests on
car colours, It has been found
that both blue and yellow tend
'to make objects appear closer
than they really are. Greys make.
objects seem farther away than
they are.
Consequently, blue or yellow
painted cars would seem to be
the safest. Other drivers, be-
lieving you to be closer than you
actually are, take action in good
time.
Grey -painted vehicles g i v e
other drivers the impression
that you are farther off than;
you ;are.
As the scientists point out,
these findings only confirm the
pattern of .colour in nature. A
clear blue sky is uplifting; a blue
sky and soft green country land-
scapes together are -usually suf-
ficient to calm the most disturb-
ed nerves.
Conversely, people are prone
to depression under black thun-
der -clouds or grey skies.
PROFESSIONAL PRIDE
Steve Lux of Waldron, Ind,,
told. police he glanced out of his
car window at a stop light, saw
a familiar face in the next car,
and told his companions, "There's •
the meathead who was wrestl-
ing tonight." The wrestler got
out of his car, kicked a dent in
Lux's auto, broke a window,'
climbed back and drove off.

FIGURING - Dr. Solomon Lefs-
theta, above, 75, received :en
honorary degree from the Uni-
versity of Paris, France, for his
Mathemaetical studies. He fig-
ures Soviet successes in rocket
guidance can be traced to i'heir
lead in basic math,
THAT'S HOW IT GOES What's going on in the mind of this
disgruntled motorist is anyone's guess, at he stands In 'silence
next to a policeman writing him a traffic ticket on New York's
Fifth Ave.
Stole Keys of the
Bank Of England
. A young man of strange habits`_.
was Cornet Robert Pate, of the
10th Hussars, son of a wealthy
Wisbech landowner.
He gave up eating in the mess,'
saying that the cooks and mess -
,men were. trying to poison him.
When the regiment was ordered
to India he sold his commission
_
and took rooins in Great Marl-
borough Street taking his faith-
ful batman as servant.
Every morning he would pour
half a' pint of whisky and 2 oz.
of camphor into his bath; He
would spend' hours mixing his
own tooth powder, with a pestle
and mortar. Daily at three -
fifteen, wet or fine,a hackney
coachman called to drive him
out over Putney and Barnes
Commons - always the same
route, the ride lasting for two '
hours.
Always he would pay the ten -
;shilling fare in separate shill-
ings. Hisservant had to keep a
pile of'' them on the mantel-
piece with the Queen's head up-
wards.
"Mad Pate" carefully stowed -
them in his pocket in the .same.
order, and gave them to the cab-
by in a neat pile..
This peculiar obsession with
the Queen's head reached a start-
ling climax on June 27th, .1850.
One afternoon Victoria, with her
•eldest children, the Prince of
Wales, . Prince Alfred and the
Princess Royal, drove to Cam-
bridge House, Picccadilly. They
were visiting her uncle, the
Duke of Cambridge.
At six -thirty 'about two hun-
dred people gathered outside the
gates to see her leave. As the
horses slowed down to pass
through the east gate a .man
stepped out of the crowd and'
brought his cane down, as hard'
es hecould on her face drawing
blood. -
A footman grabbed him by
the collar and handed him over
to a police sergeant. The crowd,
incensed, by the outrage, wanted
to lynch him. He was taken to
' Vine Street' Police Station,
charged, tried and sentenced to
transportation to Tasmania:
There was no apparent motive
for Pate's senseless attack.
Another eccentric in Neville
Williams's inimitable gallery of
"Knaves A.nd Fools" was Mrs.
Elizabeth. Dunham, who lodged
in Hope Alley, London Wall,
early in the last century.,
She had a mania for acquiring,
'by fair means or foul, the keys
of important buildings; but never
made use of them for felonious
purposes. 'She merely hoarded...
them to gloat over, 'until she had
amassed more than a trunlcfuL
Her hauls included keys of
several noblemen's houses in
Mayfair and Belgravia,- of the
Royal College of Physicians, the
Royal Exchange, the Church Mis-
sionary Society, Whitehall gov-
ernment offices, hospitals, halls
and even Maidstone Jail.
She was the terror of house-
keepers, 'Porters
ousekeepers,•porters and nightwatch-
men in the City and Westmin-
ster.
Finally she thought she could
tackle the Bank of England,
which . would be the greatest tri-
umph of all, for it had a military
guard.
She walked right past Shack -
ell; the porter, who was busy.
Once inside hislodge she found
the keys and dropped them in
her basket. She was questioned
as she left, but quickly allayed
Shackell's suspicions,
But when he wanted to lock
the gate at three -thirty he dis-
covered that the keys had gone,
At orlce -there was a hullabaloo,
for ,the Bank of England's keys
had never before been stolen.
Shackell gave a description of
the woman which was circulated
to ell City peace officers. Two '
days later vedette clues led one
of them to Hope Alley. Despite
Mrs, 1Dunham's denials, he found
in .her`bedroom the trunk and
box crammed with keys and the
Bank keys under the mattress.
When, at her trial, the two
keys were passed to her in the
dock for.i'deutification,; 'her. face
lit up with joy. Wrapping them
in a handkerchief,• she told. the '•
court:
"I shall hold them for the right
of my King, lay' country' and my-
self," and. refused to .give 'them
back. Deemed insane, she was
sent to an asylum •- and kept
well away from its keys!
Charles de Berenger, an ;pfficer,
on Lord Cochrane's staff, landed
at Dover in 1814 with bogus
news of Napoleon's defeat and'
massacre by Cossacks in Paris.
His action, was part of a con-
spiracy to .enable speculators to'
profit on the Stock Exchange.
The quack Dr. Graham, who
ran a "A Temple of Health and
Hymen"' in, London, installed a
sumptuous "magnetico - electric"
bed warranted, to make childless
couples fruitful. This he hired
out at £50 per evening, later re-
duced to £25 when the bed's
popularity began to. wanes '

Drunken ..Pigs
Cause 'Trouble
Chaos was , caused by a
drunken donkey • in a Yugosla-
vian village . recently. He fou
the wine in the cellar of his
peasant' master and drank the
lot - eighteen pints of it.
His owner ,realized, what was
happening only when he saw the
merry donkey ..careering drunk-•
enly through the ' streets, at-
tacking • villagers. Ittook six
men to round'.him, up. When he
was finally tied up he fell
asleep.
Snorting, hiccuping, swaying
pigs flopped out et ' a railway
car at Sarreguemines, France,
not long ago. They were pedigree
pigs, too. "Blind drunk," was' a
veterinary surgeon's verdict
when he examined them after
gendarmes had arrested 'six of
them.
What had happened? 'Some-
where along the line, -the police
found out, the truck• was shunted
arid' lurched. Out 'of their' cages
tumbled -the pigs and out of 'two
broken barrels flowed; fresh
Bordeaux wine. The -pigs drank
the lot.
Many animals, especially some
dogs, enjoy a glass of beer but
monkeys generally' prefer gin,
whisky or other spirits. It is
said that an elephant',s liking for
strong drink at the end of his
'day's work costa man his life in
India ten years ago. . The .ele-
phant's owner stopped at a
tavern, for a drink and when he
emerged the smell of alcohol
in his breath so enraged the
thirsty elpehent: that it trampled
himto death.
