THE HOUSEHOLD
Is There Individuality?
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUsI

We have been so eager and willing
OF late years TO put ourselves unre-
servedly into the hands of the pro-
fessionaI decorator that there really is
grave danger that we may rob our
houses of all their little claim to orig
inality. It may be well enough to con-
form. to the present mode and to elin1-
mate the distinctly observation-disclosures
even that is disputed-in matters OF
dress, but when 1t comes to the rooms
we live in, then It should not be for
gotten that the most Interestingly fur
nished houses are not the ones that
are done over every year or so to suit
the changing fashion of decorators.
There is one very interesting dec
orator who always stipulates that be-
fore she takes up any work for any
one she see their houses before they
have been changed at all. She also
manages to talk with the people and
to get an idea of what sort of people
they are. what sort Of personality they
have, and what they are TRULY like.
She tries not only to meet the wife of
the house. but all the other people
who must make that house their
home. Then she asks to see their old
things No, 1t is through no desire to
be economical. for this decorator is
not OF the economical sort. But she
feels sure that in those old posses
sions there is much that Is character
istic of the family that should be in
corporated in the new interior IL that
interior is to show individuality. She
has a horror of inflicting on people
pictures for their walls that they never
selected, ornaments that were not the
result of gradual acquisition and OF
stocking a library with books that
they never read.
The old prints and paintings that
have come to be regarded as horrors
and that are only waiting in the attic
for the next visit of the junk dealer
she is sure TO bring to light She has
them reframed and rematted if neces-
sary. Even the old crayon portraits
that are such an eyesore she dwells
over. and she brings old family albums
from their hiding places. With the
aid of . clever photographer she has
made most interesting portrait studies
Of the persons whose memories are
most beloved in the family for which
she Is decorating" Much softened
and with an effect that makes one IN
certain whether they are produced
from an old deguerreotype or an oil
painting, these are framed in oval
frames OF dull gold and produce as
interesting ancestors" as even the
most fortunate could possess.

EMBARCOES co ON.
Railroads Refuse To Sell Tick
cts to Coast Points.
Unsanctioned Strikes Have All
Traffic Tied Up.

The general passenger and freight
embargoes announced thru local rail-
road offices Wednesday are in effect
today. California is in the grip of the
unsanctioned strike of yard men. East
ern offices of the roads are stopping
all traffic west of certain New Mexico
and Arizona points.
Persons wishing TO go to points in
California are unable to carry out
their desires and will be for day or
two yet. according to opinions ex-
pressed by local railway men. The
Rock Island lines embargo places all
points west OF Tucson, Ariz.. and north
of Bakersfield. Cal. under the ban.
The Union Pacific and the Santa Fe
embargoes include all points west of
Albuquerque.
Freight embargoes of the same
character are in effect on all roads
except the Union Pacific. Up to a
late hour this morning the division
fresgth agent for the Union Pacific
announced that the road is receiving
freight for any point in California.
So far the embargo has not effected
the freight traffic on this road. The
Santa Fe refuses all freight destined
for points west of Albuquerque and
Belen, New Mexico. The Rock Is
land embargo on freight is the same.
It is expected in local railroad Of
fees that train service in California
from points east will be restored in
a short time. The attitude of the
officials here today was that the sit
uation in the far west is becoming
less tense and they seem to expect that

BONES OF WOODY
Continued from Page one.J

NCOntluueO IEOU rage OQesy
state Such procedure may delay the
closing of the two cases until some
time Friday. When King was ar
raigned here last week for the alleged
killing Of Reuben Gutshall. Senator
Carroll examined state witnesses in
detail. 1t is clearly the purpose of the
defense to force witnesses to give the
most specific and definite statements
at this time that they may confuse
their evidence before a jury. No wit
nesses of material value will be called
by King If his own behalf until he is
tried in the district court on first de-
gree murder charges.
Late this afternoon John Woody's
father stated he was positive in his
Identification of one set of bones as
those of his missing son. When a
human skeleton was found near Kings
former livery barn in Maple Hill ten
days ago. the elder Woody was in the
crowd of Searchers. A human skull
filled with mud and water was lifted
from the ground and held high that
the spectators might see. Instantly
the father declared the gruesome find
was that of his son.
Testify About Property.
Witnesses called today testified that
property owned by Woody and the
peddIer-possibly William F. Ringer
men disappeared. Testimony was also
to the effect that King told Maple Hill
residents that he had bought the pro-
perty owned by the men and that they
had left the community
In the case of the peddler, the state
may file an amended complaint charg-
ing King with the murder of William
r. Ringer instead Of the murder of an
unknown man and killing an un-
known man named Gregg. Recently
King told state counsel that the ped
dler's name was Gregg For that rea-
son the name of Gregg was used in
the blanket complaint.
Except for the whfsperinxs and oc-
casional bitter mutterings by men and
women from the Maple Hill district,
there was no outward demonstration
against King during the early stages
OF the hearing. Counsel for state and
defendant were confident that little
danger Of mob violence existed. Spe-
cial guards and deputy sheriffs ap-
peared less concerned than a week
ago. The fact that rains had kept
many visitors from the neighborhood
of Maple Hill and RossviIle relieved
the tension. Nonetheless the two
flights of stairs leading to the opera
house were carefully guarded An
armed guard walked with King and al
most surrounded him when he was
taken to the opera house.
