Agents for rejection

SAVANNAH, Ca, Jan. 1S.-Tvy
Kassel, whose home was raided last
Friday night by federal agents and
still found and destroyed, makes
the charge that he has been paying
federal prohibition officers for pro-
lection in order to engage in the
liquor business with impunity. An
Investigation has been started by
Assistant U. S. District Attorney
Turner here.
Kassell says he has been living in
Savannah for 81 years and what l
don't know about the liquor business
isn't worth knowing" He said Is
men in Savannah who are engaged
in the same business will back up his
statement. He says he hasn't been
given a square DEAL" as he had
paid for protection and didn't get It..
Therefore, he has told his story to
the assistant district attorney. He
says: 81 am not going to suffer and
let them go sscott-free. I paid for
protection and if they accepted my
money, 1 was due to get it,
Similar reports of paying for pro-
lection" have been received from

THIS is the story of the house that
Betty built-or to be absolutely ac-
curate, the old furniture she made
new.
Betty" is Miss Betty Ross Clarke,
who is as Yankee as her name and
equally provident. She earns her
bread and butter starring in moving
pictures out in California.
Now in California where every
thing is bright and sunny, dingy
things look dingier than ever, so
when Mistress Betty had made a
million, more or less, out of BREW
ster's Millions"-enough at least to
build herself a new house-she de-
cided the contrast would be too great
if she did not have new furnishings
or the old furniture made new.
Makes Old Furniture New
The story of Miss Clarke's furni-
ture is worth telling because she did
wonderful things, all herself, with
chairs, tables and bedroom suites
that were scratched and marred with
long use. Yet the furniture itself
was strong and good.
How many people own things of
that sort? Most everybody! And
what Miss Clarke did anybody can
do.
Take her dining room, for instance.
This room, like many California
dining rooms, is in reality a sun
porch. Consequently the colors used

used throughout the country wher-

How It is Done
"The room being mostly windows"
said Miss Clarke, "the walls were
not much of a problem. l had them
given several coats of the tan. The
woodwork, like all the rest of the
bungalow, was white enamel"
Then Miss Clarke went on to tell
how she herself painted the furni-
ture.
Happily" she said, my old table
and chairs were of the simplest de-
sign. First 1 gave them a printing
coat Of tan. And I buy only the
very best brushes. Cheap brushes
are hopeless because the paint pulls
the hairs out, and that makes a ter
rible mess"
Saved Lots Of Money
Miss Clarke advises only three
coats of paint eff you use the very

The second coat is the "fat" of the
color desired, and the third an ultra
hard finishing enamel. The stencil
ing is done last, oil paints and stiff
stencil brushes being used. If the
furniture is simply to be outlined,
the contrasting color is built up
from the first coat.
