white elephants will allow them-

With the United States thrown up
OH its own resources for the devel-
opment OF its art during the war Pc
riod, the development OF cretonne in
creased by leaps and bounds. Re-
vulsion from the overdecoration of a
decade ago had swung the pendulum
of wall coverings from the ornate
wall paper to the plain. Colors had
become neutralized, but because the
American people are far from SOM

the void.
Fabric designs have become tri-

where it is combined with the SIM

In carrying out the color schemes
the same design used at the windows
is utilized often also in simple up
holstering, as cushion covers.
At the present time in the United
States cretonnes are manufactured by
five methods, which include the
transference of relief patterns from
wooden blocks, block printing which
super-imposes three colors by the
block printing method, by copper
plates, from copper rollers and by
stenciling. In the manufacture of the
American chintz the materials ordi-

Like many other obscure members
Of prominent families, cretonne, the
distant cousin of the exotic batik,
has won by its own personality a
place in the world Of art. 1t has be-

Its relation to the art OF batiking
can be traced to common origin in
the early dyeing processes practiced
in India.
Fig Leaves Began 1t.
Maybe the fig leaves Of the post
Eden period were not the beginning
of the textile period, but certainly
textiles have been known almost
since the year |. Since the very ear

Stencils Are Used.
In India the cotton cloth had been
dyed by a process which provided
for the stenciling OF design upon
woven cloth of cotton or silk, which
was later treated with mordant and

by the use of protecting wax coat

In England the dyed fabric shortly
became known as clint, Hindoo

YOUTHFUL PAL OF ZANE
 GRAY KILLS A GRIZZLY

MIAMI.-George Taught, fourteen year-old boy, killed a giant grizzly bear on his way home from school re- gently George, his little sisters and brothers were on their way from school near Payson when they sud- denly rounded turn in the path and were encountered by an S00-pound bruin. Bruin on being disturbed reared to his full height and was about to crush one of the smaller children when George shot him through the neck with a high-powered ..22 calibre Savage rifle, the shot was fatal and the bear was killed instantly.
 George is the son of Babe Taught, trapper and guide for Zane Grey, the author. The gun with which George killed the bear was given to him by Zane Grey, and his name is engraved on it. The children, while on their way to school the day before had seen a bunch of wild turkeys. George was carrying the gun in hopes of bagging turkey with the small gun, when he encountered the bear.

YAVApM MAGAZINE G
 PUBLISHER IS DEAD

Aaron H. Powers, publisher of the ,Yavapai Magazine, and one of the leading Republican workers of Yava- pal county, died at his home in Pres colt last week.
 MT. Powers came to Arizona from California for his health and although he never fully recovered his condition did not prevent him from giving his efforts to his party and to the build ing up of one of the leading maga- zines in the state.
 Although he was an organizer and party worker in every sense, his only political reward was when he was con nected with the office of the state board of health, issuing its bulletin and preparing its publicity. He re- signed shortly after his appointment by Governor Campbell to return to Prescott, where climatic conditions were more favorable to his case.

RUNOR OF EARLY CUT IN FREIGHT RATES FOLLOWS
 CAPITOL FARLEY

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Develop- ments which were declared to presage early reduction in railroad freight rates and a clearing of the railroad situation generally, came here today from several quarters.
 A group of prominent railroad ex- ecutives conferred today with Presi- dent Harding and Senator Cummins, Republican, of Iowa, chairman of the Senate interstate commerce commit tee, and discussed steps toward freight rate reduction preliminary to the exec utives' meeting at Chicago October IA.
 Rate reductions also was the prin- cipal topic on the program at a meet ing tonight of Democratic and Repub- lican senators comprising the unoffi- cial agricultural "bloc." Senators at tending the meeting said there was a wide and vigorous demand for rate cuts, as imperative to the agricultural interests.
 Senator Cummins, after his confer ence with the railway executives, said he believed they would adopt at their Chicago meeting his suggestions for an immediate reduction of freight rates. No definite assurances to this effect were given him at today's con ference, he explained, but he expressed the opinion that the reductions would be made by the carriers voluntarily.
 The carriers then, Senator Curnmins said, probably would ask the railroad labor board to reduce the wages or ap- peal to congress for legislation to meet the situation caused by the voluntary rate reductions.
 The railway executives in the con ference included T. Dewitt Cuyler, representing a railway securities hold ers' organization. Samuel Req, presi- dent of the Pennsylvania system; President Smith of the New York Cen tral; President Holden of the Burling- ton system, and Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the Southern Pacific.
 ''The railway executives" said Sen ator Cummins after the conference, feel that the only substantial way to reduce rates is to reduce wages. They also feel that the wage fixing func- tions of the railroad labor board should be transferred to the interstate commerce commission, which has the rate making, or return powers.
 Senator Cummins said he did not gather that the railway executives fa- vored complete abolishment of the la bor board, but believed that the same railroad rates, or returns, should also have the power to establish wages. This would require amendment by con- gress of the transportation act and may be brought up later, after the Chicago conference.

EIGHT TONS OF COPPER
 IN NEW DOUGLAS HOME

Eight tons of copper is being used in the construction of a residence under erection at the United Verde Exten- sion for Mir. and Mrs. Lewis Douglas.
 The copper is in the form of roof ing, caves, troughs, screens, and so on. When the Douglas home is fin ished it will include more copper than any other building in Arizona.
 All the copper was fabricated by a concern in Detroit. Mir. Douglas says that he was able to purchase it at fairly reasonable prices, although the metal used had been bought by the fabricator at high figures.
 The roofing comes in strips four teen inches wide. These strips inter- lock and make an absolutely water proof joint without the use of solder. No solder is used anywhere except at the corners of the caves troughs.
 MT. Douglas has been making ex- periments with a view to giving the copper in his home the verdigris tinge which it naturally takes! in the east. It has been found that under Arizona climatic conditions copper, when ex- posed to the elements, oxidizes brown instead of green. When the copper materials are all in place MT. Doug las plans to coat them every two or three days for several weeks with a compound of vinegar, ammonium chloride and hydrochloric acid. After being splashed on the chemicals will he washed off with water. This treatment is expected to cause the copper to acquire the desired green shade.

 OF DUTIES AS SIAM MINISTER

George w. P. Hunt, minister to Siam and former governor of Arizona, will be at home to celebrate the New Year if the senate confirms the ap- pointmen of Edward E. Brodie, of Or egon, as the new minister.
 The Associated Press dispatch which carried the announcement ot the selection of MT. Brodie as minis ter to succeed MT. Hunt is of partic- ular interest here, where politicians already are figuring out the place the former Democratic leader will fill on his return to Arizona.
 MT. Hunt has been in Siam for more than a year and it is known that for some time he has been anxious to be relieved. It is believed that he will come directly home as soon as he is released, but the trip requires six weeks, which will hardly allow him time to return until after Christmas.
