l49 Are Killed Daily
I'm u. S. by Accident
Number of Mem Victims Greatly
Exceeds Women, Report of
Safety Council Shows

One hundred and forty-nine persons
are killed bv accident in the United
States each day, according to statistics
compiled by the National Safety Coun-
Gil, with the cooperation of the cor
oners and other statistical agencies of
2f0 cities. The statistics, which show
many peculiarities of the accident
fatality record. will be discussed at the
Ninth Annual Safety Congress, which
opens in Milwaukee to-day.
The record is based on a compilation
of accidents throughout the country
during the week Of August % to 28 in
elusive. 1t shows that on, different days
Of the week, the number of men vic
Tins of accidents greatly outnumber
the women, and that on four days out
of seven the number Of persons killed
in automobile accidents equals that of
the victims Of all other kinds combined.
The daily number of fatalities is
reached by striking an average of the
Seyen days recorded.
Automobile accidents are responsible
for more deaths during the year than
any two other agencies, and it is the
conclusion of the council after an an
alysis of its record that one-half the
fatalities that occur every year could
be avoided if proper precautions for
safety were observed by the victims
and others concerned in accidents.

Lamp Shades

. The problem of lamps and
their shades presents an en-
chanting field for Belmaison
and Belmaison considers
lights and their shades in all
their moods. For o great
Italian room with rough
plastered walls Belnaison
achieved some reproductions
of old Italian painted, iron
wall oppliques in the form of
flowery branches painted
dark rose and green. The
branches are topped with
small candles that are wired
with electric bulbs and are
shaded with small rose
shades. These are very love-
iy against q plastered wall
of neutral gray tone and are
Italian in spirit. Shades of
chiffon, glazed chintz, taf-
feta and other delicate and.
lovely fabrics are all in
charming shapes, to harmon
ize with the room they are
designed for, in color and
motif, and are in many cases
distinguished by exquisite
French braid and ribbons
imported for this purpose.

Browns Bow.

back in that little box and with her
came another Bee. In q surprisingly
short time double line of Bees were
going and coming from that little box
just as had been the case with Busy
Bee and her sisters.
Then Farmer Browns boy did lust
as he had done before and presently
was standing at the foot of a dead
tree nearly half mile from the tree
where Busy Bee and her sisters had
made their home. This tree was who'll
ly dead. Farmer Browns boy raped
on it with stick and by the sound
knew that it was hollow. At the first
rap swarm Of angry Bees flew out
Of little hole about half way up.
Farmer Browns boy grinned. "Num-
ber e." said he as he made his mark
on the tree. Then he took to his heels,
for those Bees had discovered him and
they were very angry.
In the same way he found third
tree where Bees were making their
home. and then, quite satisfied with
his mornings work, he started for
home. He- had found all his missing
Bees. There was no hurry about get
ting the honey. 1t would be time
enough little later when the weather
became cooler and the Bees were less
active. They would make less trouble
then.

Belmaison has designed
several dressing-tables that
are in use in many of the
smart and beautifully ap-
pointed houses in this coun-
try. One Of these dressing
tables of the most favored
type is now in the Hen
Pheasant room in Belmaison,
1t is an amusing chintz-hung
table, over which is placed a.
large mirror cut so that it
completely fills the space left
by the over-curtains that are
above it and parted and tied
on each side. 1t is an evolu-
tion of the old French
dressing-table that is so
beautiful. The top of the
table is covered with glass.
so that it may be kept free
from powder and the surface
is not marred by perfumes.
Under the ehintz hangings
of the table are small
drawers that contain a thou
sand and one toilet requi-
iites.
Belmaison has also evolved an
other: type of dressing table
that is kidney-shaped and has
its charming chintz curtains
arranged so that they may be
swung out like a small gate
that the drawers under them
may be reached more easily as
result. Of course, these types
are varied and adapted to the
room in which they are to be
used.

Four Boys and a $500 Bill
Just Fail to Catch Train
Detective Doesn't Relish Their Order for Tickets to
Chicago, and Later On Wailing Barber Tells of
Missing Som and Till That Has Been Ransacked

Goodwin suggested trip to the East
126th Street police station to see. if
some of them could not be reached
by telephone. AS he emerged into
125th Street with his prisoners, they
all made sudden dash for liberty.
Goodwin managed to retain his hold
on David, but the others got away.
Sure enough, Goodwin did manage
to telephone TO Ben's1 y father, Frank
Tortora who IS 8 barber' and dis
covered that he was in the depths of
despair and at the height Of indigna-
tion. Some thief, he explained, had
stolen $1,000 in money and $400 in
Liberty bonds from the till in his bar
Der shop.
WAS there a $500 bill in the money
stolen"? asked Goodwin.
Yes, yes, assuredly there was a $500
bill, and the barber began volubly to
enumerate the other bills as we'll.
"Well, you better help us hunt for
that kid of yours then," said Goodwin
II got the $500 bin, but couldn't keep
my hands on Benny"
David was sent to the New York So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children and the police and the barber
set out, on a hunt for his friends.

Jersey City Man Pitches Into
Armed Pair: Police Arrest Two

Two men armed with revolvers held
up Frank Jennie, treasurer of Grand
View Hall, Jersey City, early yesterday
morning while he was counting Satur-
days receipts, totaling about $1,000, in
his Office in the building.
Instead of complying with their COM
mand to put up his hands, Jennie called
for help and pitched into the pair. One
of them laid him out with blow from
revolver butt. The uproar brought
the police so quickly, however, that
nothing was stolen, and Vincent Aldo
retta, of 238 jefferson Street, Hoboken,
and Thomas Baggs, of $50 Furst Street,
Hoboken, who were found in the vicin-
ity, were locked up. Jennie, who lives
at 231 Garden Street, Hoboken, was
taken to Jersey City Hospital.

Thirteen-year-old David Simon. of
276 West 115th Street. accompanied by
three younger friends, walked up to
ticket window at the 125th Street
Station of the New Work Central Rail-
road last night, showed a $500 bill
under the grating and demanded four
tickets to Chicago. Harry Goodwin, g
railroad detective, was standing by the
window.
"Where did you get that, youngster ~
he demanded as soon as he recovered
his breath.
"My father gave it to me-" replied
David. Hes in Wall Street"
The detective was not completely
satisfied with this information and 1t
was revealed by further questioning
that David's father was an engineer in
Wall Street; that he probably was not
at his home now, as he had summoned
David to the Battery to receive the
money, and that the names of the other
boys were George Slcken, eleven years
old, of SO West 1o9th Street; Ben Tor
tora. nine years old, of 2136 Eighth
Avenue, and "Rainsy"

prices. The fineness of cabi-
network, the beauty and
depth of surface and charm
of line that characterize the
antiques are maintained in
the reproductions. Delicate
bits of furniture, such as Dl-
rectoire chairs and desks,
fine Louis XVI pieces of
charm and delicacy, are re-
produced, as we'll as heavier
things like Elizabethan and
Italian furniture.
Wall cabinets, old English
cupboards, great refectory
tables, and Old English arm
chairs-all of these may be had
in excellent reproductions.

Unusual Treatment
of Walls

In Belmaison is q room
called '"Toile de Jouy,'' a
lovely, gay little room with
it's wallis covered with old
Directoire toile, printed in
ink of soft tan and brown.
This gives the entire room
it's character and determines
the sort of furniture that is
to be put in it. It is one of
the very clever and lovely
things in Belmaison. An

WASHINGTON Sept. 26.-The Fed

urgent need for more houses for dwell
ings and business purposes" Governor
Harding said in letter to a lumber
company, which vas made public by
the Treasury Department to-night.s Re-
alizing that construction work now
under way is not nearly great enough
to supply requirements, he added, the
board has been careful not to place any
restrictions of credit to the building
industry.
There can be no question that the
production and distribution of the basic
necessaries of life, such as food, fuel
and clothing, are essential" Mr.. Har-
ding said, "and it is obvious that shelter
IS also fundamental necessity"

Special Upholstery

Belmaison does many dis
tinguished and unusual
things with the upholstering
Of furniture; it makes slip
covers that may be used all
the year round and that add
new charm to a room, that
give character to mediocre
furniture, that change a
grave, sornbre room to a de-
lightful, gay place. Lovely
chintzes and toiles printed
with old French designs, soft
velours, tafetas, linens and
even ginghams are used. A
natural linen embroidered to
initiate old Jacobean crewel-
work is used for library wing
chairs; a velour-covered
chaise Tongue is welted with
gay satin ribbon and has
little ruFled ribbon edges
that are very chic and dis
tinguished.
A chair covered with figured
linen has ruffles on the arms
and around the bottom; a deep
sofa is covered with chintz
printed in magenta ink with
charming designs taken from
an old Toile dc Jouy. These
are just few Of the delightful
things Delmaisem can do with
upholstery.

ground, has it's walls covered
with paper printed with the
designs from old wood blocks
once used for printing the
old toiles. Old scenic papers
are to be seen in Belrnaison,
and lovely stuffs for cover
ing the walls of exquisitely
feminine rooms, or modern
reproductions of old Ja-
cobean crewel-work for the
dining room or library, or
Colonial wallpaper for the
typically early American
house. For every bit of fur
niture Belmaison chooses
exactly the right background
in the form of wall covering.
A very interesting set OF
wallpaper panels made up Of
remarkable series of colored
blocked drawings in brilliant
color, is called "Scenic Amer
ica," and consists of a pano-
ramic view OF typically Ameri-
can scenes, including West
Point and Niagara Balls. The
blocks were made in about 1860
IN the factories at Alsace-Lor-
raine and were destroyed in the
late war.
Painted walls in Belmaison
make the pleasant pretense Of
being marble by being painted
in tae delicate tints of marble
and delicately veined by artist
artisans. A little bathroom is
marbleized in the Directoire
style in a warm cream color
with columns topped with black
and thinly outlined with brill
liant green.

The Rooms in
Belmdison

Belmaison is a house built
within the store and contains
a series of rooms in which
new ideas in decorating are
constantly being shown. New
ideas based upon old truths
of classic design and cabinet
work. Belmaison turns to
the fine old periods of
French, Italian and English
furniture for it's inspiration
for the modern home, and
incorporates much that is
fine and enduring with q
great deal that is modern
and comfort-giving.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-27
Rugs and Carpets

Belmaison has a genius
for finding exactly the right
rug for the right room. All
that is lovely in French,
Italian and Englieh rugs has
been used as a source of in
spiration and study. Often
Belmaison builds a room
about a rug, or gets the at
mosphere-the key of the
roonl-from a rug.
From the white peacock
feathers in the corner Of a
wonderfully fine Queen Anne,
carpet the whole charm of a
room is built just as the nose
nays in the center of the carpet
suggest the motifs for the deco
rative furniture and the delicate
snuY-colored brown with the
carpet suggests the color of the
over-curtains at the window.
This is the thing Belmaison
does in its making Of homes,
the thing it would do for your
home.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-27
Curtains

Belmaison is constantly
thinking of new and attrac-
tive ways to treat the VIM
dows of a room. Arrange
ments are made for different
seasons of the year, for diff
ferent types Of rooms in diff
ferent types of houses. So
much character and charm
may be given a room by ex-
actly the right sorts of cur
tains, that Beln1aison finds it
a fascinating study to create
combinations of new mate
rials and colors. In Belnaai-
son is the room with the blue
floor that is given distinc-
tion and brilliancy by having
its two large windows cur
tanned with long, straight
hanging curtains of vivid red
glazed cE1intz, that are
crossed and re-crossed with
tiny box-plaited ruffles.
These curtains reach the
floor, and under them, ex-
tending the length of the
windows, are little crisp
white glass curtains of
dotted Swiss.
Another room, very feminine
and charming in spirit, has
walls Of cool gray blue. The
windows are curtained by mists
20. of sheer pale blue silk over she'll
= pink silk gauze glass curtains.
The blue curtains are tied back
and then hang in long folds that
sweep upon the floor. In con-
trast to these are the curtains
for mans bedroom, also in
Belmaison. These curtains of
perfectly plain brown linen
have a dignificd border in an
Adam design painted on them
in green and tan; this har-
monies with the cafe au Eatt
color Of the room. The other
rooms in Belmsison present
many Interesting window az
rangements.
