HANGING PICTURES.

The appearance of many rooms that
might otherwise be extremely attrac-
tive is ruined because of the failure
of the women who arranged them OF
master the difficult art Of hanging pic
ituEes. =
T.: The first step inSsupplying a home
with pictures should be the selection
of proper subjects for the different
rooms. Portraits of relatives and
friends are out of place in ones liv-
ing room; they should be reserved for
the privacy OF the bedrooms. Repro
ductions of famous paintings are in
the best Of taste for the living room.
For the dining room should be chos-
en- pictures Of good cheer and con-
viviality, of animals and hunting
scenes.
Give the largest pictures first choice
for the most important wall space.
Never hang pictures way up near the
nlolding or over doors and windows.
Such a position is an insult to a good
picture and gives n room Il foolish
top-heavy appearance.
The larger and more important
pictures should be hung SO that the
horizon line is, five or five and a half
feet from the floor. Portraits may
sometimes be higher than this, hut
even then they usually produce a bet
ter effect if kept on a level with your
eyes when you stand upright.
Never hang Il picture SO that it
slants away from the wall at an acute
angle, for this inevitably ruins its
beauty.

cerned. the business legislation under
consideration by the administration Is
complete, and that the business OF
the country might rest secure from
fear OF annoyance aud harrassment
The three conspicuous measures re-
lating to business which have been en-
acted into laws during this adminis-
tration are the tariff act, the bank
ing and currency act, and the amend
ncnts TO the antitrust laws. The tar
iff law has not resulted in influencing
materially the cost of living, as was
hoped by it's advocates. Whether or
not this result would have followed
had it not been for the complications
caused by the war is u matter on
which there arc differences of opin
ion But at any rate, the consumer
and the producer are becoming ac-
customcd to the operation of the new
law, and are adjusting themselves to
it. The banking law is in operation,
and it is generally believed to be sat
isfactory. Experience may show the
need of changes. but there is Il gener-
al feeling of confidence in the law,
and it may be considered a success.
The antitrust amendments are COM
paratively recent, and there has been
little opportunity to test them. Inas-
much as the Sherman law was on the
statute books before there was any
very clear idea as to what it meant,
it may be expected that it will take
some time to get at the exact force
There has been a suspicion that the
administration has something more in
the way of business legislation up it's

NATIONAL DEFENSE.

In his annual address yesterday
President Wilson made very clear his
position on the subject of nutiona
attitude. He does not consider the
United States q military nation. He
does not desire it to be a military
nation. He does not want a big stand
ing army. nor does he want Il big re-
serve army. He believes that the
best years of the life of young man
should not be spent in the army. Hc
admits that we cannot place in the
field. on short notice, a nation of men
trained to arms, and does not think
that we should be able to do SO. He
does believe that the opportunity
should be afforded. and liberal ell
couragement given to the young mon
of the country who are willing TO
receive a reasonable degree of training
in the rudiments of arms and in camp
life during the brief periods for a
few years which they can devote to
these activities.
This means. of course, the holding
down of the regular army to the min
imum and the expansion of the ma
tional guard. 1t has been stated that
an administration bill will be intro
duced at this session providing for
changes which will result in increas-
ing the strength of the national guard
to half a million men, and it was
probably with this thought in mind
that the presidents reference to the
subject in his address was made.
The president believes in the I'M
portance of the navy as means OF
national defense. But his remarks
must have fallen like cold water on
those who have been clamorng for
an elaborate program Of naval con-
struction. He puts the issue squarely
up to these partisans when he inquiries
what the experts have to submit as
to construction types. What are the
best ships for our use. and what as
surance have we that any vessel now
constructed will be valuable ten years
hence? Men who have opportunity
to be well informed on these matters
are not agreed by any means. One
expert insists that the heavy battle
ship is still the thing on which to
place reliance. Another tells us that
the day Of the big battleship is over,
and that the events Of the present
war have demonstrated the superior
ity of the submarine. Another SAYS
that IS there have as vet been no i'm.
portant naval engagements, it is too
early to come to any conclusions.
When doctors disagree. who shall de-
eide?
One thing is clear. Whatever steps
it may be considered necessary to
take with reference to the army or
the navy. in setting himself squarelv
against an elaborate military program
for the United States the president
has given expression to the sentiment
of vast majority of our people The
United States has no need and no
desire to adopt threatening attitude
toward any other nation. There is no
rational basis for fear that VIC will be
attacked by other nations If. un-
fortunately. such an attack should
come. our people will meet it man
fully and patriotically. hut they are
not willing, in the meantime. to load
themselves down with arms, and To
ap. the European nations, whose very
preparedness for war has plunged
them into the most dcsolatin- con-
flict in all human experience.
Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-12-09

certainty and timidity. More than one
writer on business topics has said
that il the president would now give
public assurance that the business
program of his administration Is COM
plete, and that, the business of tho
country could go. ahead in the light
OF the legislation that now Is. with the
assurance that no further disturbing
foctors were to be introduced in the
form OF new legislation, he would
have accomplished more for the re-
viHal OF commerce and industry than
could be accomplished in any other
way. That assurance has been given.
Mr.. Wilson has given evidence of
being n man of some determination.
Some people have c:Lfed him stub
born. At any rate, there is reason to
believe that he would not have made
such an announcement as that con-
tanned in his address had he not been
prepared to oppose vigorously the in
auguration of new business legisla-
ton by his party. and 10 veto bills in
cooperating such legislation IL they
should be pressed by any combination
that might be made i'll congress.
At any rate, the business world
knows what the situation is, and this
knowledge has been ardently desired.
The laws which are now on the books
are the laws to which business men
must conform. There are to be no
new laws to necessitate new adjust
ments On the whole, the few inter-
lined sentences on the subject of bus
mess legislation appear to be in some
respects the most important and most
satisfactory parts Of the address.

When hanging pictures over the
mantel OF. book shelves no part Of the
frame should be hidden by vases or
other ornaments. The picture should,
beneath it-neither too long nor too
small.
The amateur at hanging pictures
will usually find an entirely formal
arrangement of them the most sue
cessf,ll. In such an arrangement the
targets picture is placed in the center:
on either side of the large picture and
slightly below its center a smaller
one, and above and below, still small
err ones.
