HAS WROUGHT MARvELS

Dayton, Ohio. June 23.-tSpecial)- The most unique celebration ever held in the United States is shortly to take place in Dayton, when the entire popula- ton, rich and poor, employers and em- ployes men, women and children, will unite to welcome home John Henry Pat terson after a years absence on a trip around the world. The unusual feature of the occasion is that Mir. Patterson has never held any public office, is not politician. nor has he ever performed any of those feats for which Americans are usually given special honor. His chief recommendation to his fellow townsmen is that as a simple, private citizen he has done more than any other man to bring prosperity to the community and make its name known in every quarter of the world.
 The man whom Dayton is planning to honor is one of the most remarkable characters of the country. A true cap tain of industry" he is the originator of the new policy of welfare work" which has already made it's influence felt in the betterment of working conditions in fac- tories and stores everywhere. By many social economists, welfare work is thought to be a long step toward complete har- mony between capital and labor This pol icy of making work safe pleasant and heathful MT.

 Mir. Patterson is great believer in cleanliness. Accordingly bath rooms have been provided in every building. All em- ployes are given time during working hours twice a week in summer and once a week ln winter to bathe, with the privil- ege of as many additional baths as they desire on their own time. Women em- ployes are provided with aprons and sleev- lets, which are laundered in the factory laundry. hot lunch is furnished daily at nominal charge to all women em- ployes and to all men in the office de- partments. The heads of departments and their assistants take their luncheon at the Officers club. Mir. Patterson has al- ways believed his employees do better work for having a substantial meal in the mid- dle of the day. Two trained nurses and factory physician are always in att tendance. and rest rooms and a fully equipped operating room are maintained.
 Much attention is paid by Mir. Patterson to external surroundings. At the Dayton plant, broad. green lawns, beautiful shade trees and masses of shrubbery surround the buildings. The employees have been en- couraged to beautify their own homes, and prizes are given for the best yards. The boys of the neighborhood have been taught gardening. The factory neighbor- hood, once the home of a disreputahle ele- ment. as been converted into desirable residence suburb.

Selecting Furniture, Cleaning Floors
and Renovating Carpets.
Sunlight, ventilation and cheerful
ness are the first points to be consider
ed in thinking out the furnishings of
home, and whatever interferes with
these is always avoided by the wise
homemaker Dust destroys the purity
of air, therefore an overamount of
draping and trivial bric-a-brac must be
ruled out.
Heavy, cumbersome furniture and
uncomfortable chairs are also to be

includes metal beds, brass and enamel

the very fat man. They can be made
as soft and luxurious with cushions as
one desires. The cushions can be taken
into the sun and beaten and thorough

chairs never can be. Perhaps almost
the only heavy articles in a house
should be the piano and dining table.
Wooden furniture is now often so bad
ly made and of such badly seasoned
wood that it is to be avoided.
