Mem Folding Beds
Safe, Architects
Tell New Workers

New York-Residents of Manhattan
Island, In their eternal fight for space,
have perked up their ears at the an
nouneement by a New York syndicate
that it will build a s450,0 900 apartment
house, whose distinguishing feature
will be disappearing beds" Officials
of the syndicate are silent as to what
form the disappearing beds" will take
during the day time. They dismiss the
matter by saying that disappearing
beds and many other labor saving de-
vices will be installed"
Architects however, have given
their opinion on the proposed innova-
ton.
The beauty of disappearing beds. =
the architects say, Is that the bed can
not disappear while the occupant. Is
living in it on his back, with his knees
up and his mouth open. This was the
chief drawback to the old-fashioned
folding bed The architects made this
statement to quiet the fears of many
New York residents who had inquired
as to whether the disappearing beus
were similar to the old fashioned fold
ing bed. or contained any of the lat
ter's cranky and uncertain tendencies.
The architects say that "disap-
pearing bed" is a bed at night and an
oil pointing of a Gordon setter or
something like that in the day time;
that IL can be slipped under the bath
room floor or tucked away behind the
acouarium: or that 1t may be sunk in
to trap door in the floor and an Ori-
entail rug placed over it, so that the
ell-tale cracks may not be seen.
The apartment house of the ''disap.
pearing beds" the syndicate announlce
Is to be butt on West End avenue

Mr. Cox, when nation binds itself
"to preserve" the territorial integrity
and political independence of another
nation it binds itself to GO TO WAR.
to supply men and money in defending
that nation.
And since you use the word "hypo-
crisy,' it is just as well to add that
the man who denies this is himself
hypocrte or a fool.
We put four million men under
arms, we spent tens of billions here
and sent ten billions to other nations
in Europe 'to preserve" the territorial
integrity and existing political inde-
pendence of France and England.
Those countries want US in the League
bound by an agreement to do ex-
actly the same thing again in case
they need US.
For, bear in mind, Mr.. Cox. this Ar
ticle X, which you cannot dodge. says
plainly, 'the council shall advise the
means by which this OBLIGATION
Ito protect foreign nations) shall be
fulfilled"
The Council that would decide "the
means" is a foreign council. Is it not,
Mr.. Cox? Do not he a hypocritc and
deny it.

at last, "to dispel illusions, but my
