with dark, rich cushions In library or
living room. A parlor with a wistaria
frieze, wistaria cretonne curtain, green
rug and green and white wicker furni-
ture, is a color combination which will
always linger in the mind.
One must not forget the simple but
effective Adirondack furniture with its
cool d~ark-green stain and strong, IN
assuming lines. The rush seats are a
great addition to this make Of furni-
ture. The mission furniture comes in
this same stain, and there are many
other shapes in the stained woods. One
particularly attractive mode is taken
from the H~epplewhite winged chair.
This set is of silver green with cane
seats and back. Maple and birch as,
well as the plebeian pine are used. The
curly maple takes a silver-gray stain
very effectively.
In summer furniture, as in all other,
one must avoid the elaborate and poor
ly constructed pieces which one sees
on all sides, inexpensive in the begin
ming, but e~xtravagantly expensive in
the end. Legs that will break at the
first attempt to bear any weight upon
them, rockers that tip one neatly over
backwards> fancy star weaves, spiral
/ ornament, and poorly made pieces Of
willow which will soon splinter, I'M
wind and catch on hair and dress, all
bear the unmlStakable imprint OF
American enterprise and poor taste. but,
fortunately, one sees fewer and fewer
of them as their weaknesses are being
discovered, and more worthy substi-
tutes found. A simple, strong kitchen
chair painted and shellacked is far bet
ter than any of these attempts at
esthetic beauty. In fact, kitchen
tables and chairs combined with an
ironing-board settle, and a few pieces
bought from the iourneyman peddlers,
provided they too are not elaborate,
will be found very satisfactory when
properly treated with paint and
adorned with cushions, provided no fut-
tering ribbons be added. There can
never be too many cushions, but har-
monious color is possible even with
them, and, above all things, either a
cotton or linen cover, one that suggests
the possibility of washing so that the
necessary quality of freshness and
daintiness may never be absent. Gre
tonnes, chintzes, oriental prints, linens,
denims, all fill the requirements.

FEAR FOR FOOTBALL HONORS

West Point cadets are stirred up over

A number of. cadets were in Washing

tiationS were conducted which resulted
in Prof. Yamashita promising the Pres
ident and Secretary Morton that he
would accept a position at Annapolis.

why didn't we get show in the
transaction" asked some of the cadets.
West Point has just as good a right to
get the best kind of physical inst:uc-
ton as Annapolis. and we see no cea-
son why such unusual efforts should
have been made to engage Prof Yama-
shfta at the Academy, unless it was
that they were more favored than we
were.
Since then these cadets have returned
to school and reports have reached here
that there is much dissatisfaction
among the student body over the al
legged faVoTitiSm shown by the Admin
istration toward the sailor boys rather
than toward the land fighters.
Fear for Football
The particular cause of grievance is
the fact that the West Point boys be-

Captain Edwards Considering Plan to Have
Basketball Men Registered in National
Body-SiuatiOn Complicated.

Cant. G. e. Edwards, OF the National
Guard, has written to James L Sullf-
van. secretary of the Amateur Athletic
Union, asking him about the status of
the National Guard basketball PLAYERS.
Captain Edwards has done more than
any other person to promote sport IL
the military companies in this city, and
has always had its interest at heart. He
was especially active in promoting bas-
ketball, and has brought it to a high
state of development
Applies to A. A. u.
He is now anxious to straighten out
the relations between the National
Guard and the A. A T., and something
definite will be known within a short
time The practical disregard of the

letics by many IN this city, to which
The Times has called attention. has af-
fected the militia athletes, and if the
rules We're strictly applied and past Of
fenSes taken into consideration, it is
probable that a large number of them
would be ineligible to compete in any
outside meets.
The A. A. L. has in the past five
o. six years taken determined stand
sisted that all amateur teams and play
erS be registered with the national
body There have been reVoftS and
several associations have cut loose to

regretted the error of their ways and

Are Not Registered.
Captain Edwards cheerfuIly admits
that his basketball men, with few ex-
ceptions, are not registered in the a
A. t. This defect in their amateur
standing applies to men On practically
every team IN the Basketball League

of injuries to the status of their COM
peutors wherever they go.
Another disastrous effect will be on
the men who want to take part in the
Georgetown and High School meets in
Washington and the big meets that are
held in Baltimore every winter. Men
deliberately playing on unregistered
teams and against UNREGISTERED teams
can hardly hope to have their entries
accepted by the secretaries of the vari-
Gus meets. for to knowingly accept such
entries would render all connected with
the meet liable to suspension.
Would Bar Many.
If the matter were carried to its log
ica1 conclusion it is difficult to estimate
how many men in this city would be
barred from competition in amateur
events for periods of from three months
TO a year. Therefore, the move of Cap
tain Edwards in applying to Secretary
Sullivan is a wise one
Captain Edwards said it never oc-

ence to the A p L. exhibited by the
National Guard is another instance of
the manner in which athletics have been
conducted in Washington, and to which

ago.
Makes Proposition.
is to have the a A L. assume juris-
dietion over the National Guard Athletic
Association, but allow the directors of
the association to determine who shall
and who shall not play on the teams.
It Is doubtful If such an arrangement
could be made unless the directors
would agree to limit the membership of
the teams to pure amateurs Other
matters determining mans right to
play, such as the length of time he has
been in the company, transgresSion of
military rules, etc, could easily be left
TO the control of the military officials
There has beer some talk OF the Guard
acting independently If it cannot get its
own terms with the a A T. Such a
move would work great harm and would
cause the disqua LITIGATION of number
of crack athletes, including some of the
high school boys. AS an outlaw organ
ization all of its men would be under
the ban and their entries would be
turned down elsewhere and a severe
blow would be given amateur athletics

The registration fee II the a A l. is
only - cents and az IT'S rules are en-
forced only for the purpose of insuring
amateur sport there seems TO be no
good reason why the National Guard
should not lend it support.
