The strikers" gathered on a hill
nearby and a call was turned in at IN
gleside police station. Police in a pat
Iol arrived. Then started a merry chase
of the hills.
Finally a truce committee Of seven
was named by the boys. They tied white
handkerchiefs to sticks and marched sol
EMMY down the hill to arbitrate. But
the police didn 7 stop to arbitrate. They
grabbed every youngster and sent them
all to the detention home.
Seeing the fate of the "peace con
f@erees,' the other Youngsters continued
to hide. This afternoon it became known
that another sympathy strike" had
been declared by so boys at the Column
bia school.

chancellor prompt disavowal had
averted some heated debate in the
reichstag today.
1t was stated both wings of the So
cialist party had voted disapproval Of
the attitude maintained Saturday by
Vice Chancellor Helfferich in refusing
replies to interpretations.
In his speech before the main COM
mittee, Michaelis said it was regret
table that mutual faith had been push
ed into the back ground recently, re-
sulting in mutually antagonistic propa-
ganda.
81 hope the disputants will see the
importance of not debating as to ways
and means, but of uniting in a single
community of aims" he declared.
"'This is their special duty in such
serious times as these"
Georges Ledebour, minority social
list leader, speaking in the main com
mittee following the chancellor, ex-
pressed his astonishment over the
chancellor statement, declaring that
the government should more deeply
consider complaints. He expressed the
view that the chancellor alone was re-
spensible for Vice Chancellor Helffer-
statements.
The peace restored by Chancellor
Michaelis as detailed above was on an
other political s~quabble than that
which is pending today in the reich
stag, according to Amsterdam reports
to the United Press detailing events
in Berlin of a later date than the
.randens dispatch.

Washington, Octi 9.-Berlin's re-

ed by officials here today just as all

her present holdings before the crash

Some Real Novelties.

What has the war done for floor

course, raised the price. True 1t
has. But it has done something more
than that. something much more I'M
nortant. 1t has given Us wealth
Of really new and beautiful designs in
rugs and carpets. Why is this so'
The reason is not hard to find
Before the war rugs and carpets
were very much standardized botn
as to price and quality, as well as
design. Then along came the IN
creased prices. Old standards were
knocked out
Yet people had been in the habit
Of paying certain price for a certain
grade of rug. To interest them IN
taking goods at the new prices mann
facturers began to develop some new
and splendid IDEAS in floor covering
patterns. Today it is possible &c
obtain at comparatively low prices
American-made rugs in beautiful
designs and colorings. formerly OBJ

warning to all violators of the prohi.

though they plead guilty. will be given

The court called attention to the To-

expressed VIII OF the people for law

a larger number of attempts 10 violate

has succeeded remarkably in frustrat-

Chief Broekwell has on numerous oc-
Eeastons directed his men to suppress tn e

A movement is on TO make the city

and rapidly growing stronger Led
by Chief Butler, police department
officials are taking a decided stand
against the liquor traffic and are bold

geles crime statistics would be con-
siderably reduced In an interview
in the Los Angeles papers Police
Chief Butler says:

to wrong doing, will be alleviated and
the city Jail will be free of the
twenty five or fifty men who are daily

Another note of the liquor question
is sounded by Mrs. Gilbert, city
mother. who says:
The use of liquor in cafes by young
girls and their escorts Is the founda-

ering on more or less neutral back
ground. These new patterns make
the Rug departments OF the various
stores far more attractive than ever.
Give Thought to Your Windows.
After we have selected our rug, the
next thing to be considered is the
window curtains. The windows OF
the room indeed might be considered
its most important feature. They are
important because, while the floor
covering is seen only by the visitors
who actually come into the house.
the manner in which the windows are
trimmed is seen not only by such
people but by everyone who passes
ZIP and down the street For our win
dows we must have veil OF some
character, a material which will
break the glare of the sunlight, give
privacy TO the house and yet not
obscure the view of the great out
doors.
The Curtain departments of the re-
tail stores are today showing as great
an advance in the character of the
pattern of curtains or curtain ma
terials they are displaying as are the
Rug departments, with the added ad-
vantage that there has been no such
relative increase in the price of cur
tains as there has been in the price
OF floor coverings.

Much of the finest furniture now
adays--furniture which a few years
ago would have surely been leather
covered-has tapestry covering.
The reason for this change lies
largely in the fact that for a num-
Der OF years there has been an in
creasing demand for leather for
hundred and one different purposes
As a result. prices have gone up and
skins have been split, so that unless
high prices are paid it is impossible
to get satisfactory leather covered
furniture.
The tapestry coverings, however,
are not only very beautiful and far
more varied. OF course, than the
