BEAUTY COMES BEFORE ART


While there undoubtedly Is IN In
stinctive love for the beautiful In art
and nature, the average man or wom-
an does not greatly interest himself
or herself in matters of art, says n
writer In an Eastern journal. They
do not study such subjects or seek
information unless they become in
terestcd through some prime motive.
Once there Is created nm interest in
and n desire for better things, how
ever, they put forth every effort to
learn more Of those things that tend
to bcautify the home.
In most cases this interest can be
aroused effectively through eye APP
peal. People must see things with
their eyes. Comparatively few per-
sons reason with their minds alone.
Imagination and construction by men.
tai process is not common attribute.
That Is one of the reasons why the
interior decorator Is called upon by
people who can afford to employ such
expert service.

Farmers Demand Inquiry.

Demand was made for Congressional committee of

Organizations which met in Washington last week.
The farmer has considerable curiosity to know" it
was stated, why is for instance, that he
so cents for hide yet is required pay 30 for
pair OF rawhde shoe strings $1,000 for a pair of
shoes and why it that carload of Virginia
lambs sold on the New York market recently lacked
70 cents Of paying freight and commission charges"
Either freight rates too high commissions are
too high or some one stealing sheep, declared
Of the large farm
Farmers also wanted to know whether
Pittsburgh plus" the price of steel enters into the
cost Of pow point for which he is charged
SIIo
The organization pleaded for a committee which
would investigate the law of supply and demand,
many were Of the opinion there is such animal"
Permission for the farmers do collective bargaining
for proper cooperative laws, for extension of rural
-rredits and prohibit future trading in farm
modes, except where actual deliveries made,

Weeks Raps Retirement Plan.

DLACING wounded officers who were commits
stoned for temporary service in the world war
on the retired list, giving them retired pay in
accord with their rank opposed by Secretary Weeks
who favors the War Risk Insurance compensation
measures being suitable in the case OF these
temporary officers
The Secretary pointed last week that it would
be unfair to officers Of the regular army who fought
in the and who have made the army their life
work. Some Of these, commissioned regular first
ieutenants, hold temporary commissions majors
and captains, in the fighting. Though they
wounded and put the retired list they drew pay
only in accord with their regular rank.
Mr.. Weeks also states that the proposed rule
would make a very unjust distinction between the
temporary officers and the enlisted men, either voun
teers drafted who fought beside them. He states,
in part:
at should be remembered" stated the Secretary,
that the law relating to compensation for emergency
personnel which enacted before the emergency
officers accepted their commissions makes distinc-
ton between commissioned officers and enlisted men
of the emergency forces TO disability compensation.
The commissioned officers understood these
ditons when they accepted their commissions, and
matter of fact they apparently glad to accept
them under these conditions. Most of them espe-
caly the junior officers, subject to the draft
and many of them would have been drafted as
listed men had they not volunteered and qualified
commissioned officers.
at is then, question about which l have in my
mind great deal of doubt as whether any distinc
ton should be made in regard to benefits that should
be given to the temporary commissioned officers
from that which is given to the temporary enlisted
men. Certainly, it perfectly clear in the minds OF
Congress when it enacted the laws, that there should
be distinction"
