BIBLE AND BLACKSTONE FOR EMBRYO LAWYERS

Dayton, O., Sept, 2a,-An eandi- dates for admission to the bar should be compelled to pass examinations on tha Bible and the works of Shakes peare, in the opinion of Daniel ", Id dings. former president of the Ohio Bar Association, MT. 1ddings has urged that all bar organizations in- sist upon passage of such examina- dons as prerequisite to the taking of the bar examination proper and recommends also that candidates be quizzed on Blackstones Commen- tries.
 '"The sourco of all law really is the Bible while Shakespeare pointedly brings out the foib1es of the law" declares MT. Iddings. Biackstone's s Commentaries, he says, should be read by every lawyer at slime time during his career, for ''it must ever remain the greatest exposition of what thS gio-Saxon law really is.
 Such examinations would compel the reading and study of these great literary masterpieces, Mir. Iddings continues "and certainly no man can read and understand the Bible with out being benefited morally. and the same is true. although Ia 2 lesser degree. of Shakespeare, The big gest duty of bar organizations is in- sisttng upon early and universal ac- tion on this important subject

Tax Payers

Tax payers seem to have profited by previous unpleasant experiences in waiting long hours in line in the office of the tax commissioner in the City hall as the last few days have shown that men and women are hurrying to list their taxable property before the fast day of the legal period
 All this week the office will Semain open 91on until g in the evening to accommodate those who leave the list ing of their possessions go till the last minute. In addition the office will be open on Saturday until , o'clock, in spite of the fact that Fri day night is the legal limit, for the sake of those who have a valid excuse for not having been able to transact their business sooner

If your eyes or lids are sore; if they itch, burn or feel dry; if your vision is blurred, your eyesight dim; If you are obliged to wear glasses, go to your druggist and get bottle of Bon-Opto tablets.

below the wrtng-desk section, while another comes

Small Dining Rooms Furnish
Delightfully."-
Do you think that impossible? Ali
Then you have yet to see the display of
beautiful hand-decorated breakfast-room
suits which are among the most-admired
products of the Wanamaker studio.
These suits, comprising usually but
four chairs, table and (smalD Welsh dresser
of two or three in bungalows, cottages or
apartments in place of conventional dining
room furniture.
Certainly they are as pretty as pictures,
which is natural, seeing that they are
pictures; that is, hand-painted, in delicate
or bold designs, often Of flowers and fruit,
on wood of every kind and every color of
finish, from red mahogany to deep, jet-black
or turquoise blue enamel.
In tables you've your choice of styles
drop leaf, refectory, round, square or oval.
One of the most interesting of these
tables belongs to suit painted in a cool sea
green, decorated in a fower-and-fruit
design.
It is oblong in shape and large enough,
if set simply, to take care Of three or even
four persons; and there is clever extern
sion provision at one end, in the form of
sem-circular end table to match.
The dresser to go with this suit is
little gem, having high mirror back, three
medium-sized drawers and eight legs,
which support roomy lower shelf at each
side. The chairs Zone an arm chair) have
picturesque rush-bottom seats.
Lucky is the family that gets this suit!
Another most attractive suit of chest
nut-brown grained wood decorated with
Pompeian design in subdued hues has the
regulation Welsh dresser, with three
shelves, all high, and full-length drawer,
richly decorated. Even the backs of the
comfortable cane-seated chairs are worth
studying for their beauty.
Of course, both drop-leaf and refectory
tables are here, in profusion of styles and
sizes, in plain mahogany and in walnut for
those who do not care for the decorated
wood. There is double-folding refectory
table, size 4l12x57 inches when folded
over - just right for four people, but
unfolding for dinner parties, ct cetera, to
twice these dimensions.
Oftentimes dining room is not merely
small, but tiny, and either buffet or china
closet-in extreme cases even both-must
be dispensed with and the serving table
take it's place.
In that case, of course, it should be
really large and roomy server, for it must
take care as far as possible, of china as we'll
as silver and table linen.
Nowhere, we do believe, can a greater
variety of such accommodating servers he
found than here. That is natural, seeing
that no two ordinary stores combined carry
the quantity and variety that we do.
Among the most useful styles of
servers to be seen here include those that
are all cupboard, with full-length shelf
inside, or sometimes two sliding trays; one
with tull-length drawer and two full
length shelves beneath, in place of cup

Day Beds and COuches Come
in Hundu

in Handy
Unless your apartment is guest-proof,
one or the other of these handy beds, cum
ningly covered and dressed with couch
pillows, should be part of the living-room
furnishings if space will possibly permit.
Some small bedrooms will take bureau
and chiffonier if both be small; others
must choose between the two pieces.
One beautiful suit we have here, in
superb grain of mahogany decorated with
inlay of lighter wood in medallions and
post panels, allows choice of two bureaus
one 49 inches long; the other, AZ inches.
A nice-looking bureau made of Amer
lean walnut, with pretty effects of carving
and beading, comes even smaller inches
long, II inches wide.
A chiffonier, however, that stands low
enough for dressing in comfort and has five
roomy drawers, like many that you'll find
here, affords more actual storage space
than the bureau, and you can hang large,
conveniently tilted mirror above it. These
chltfoniers average "a inches long.
The higher, narrower chiffonier aver
aging 81 a inches long, is here in abundant
choice IT your small room is what some
less fortunate folks would call big, there
even might be place for an old-fashioned
chest of drawers, rather undersized 10
inches 33 inches)-a beautiful piece of
mahogany in Queen Anne style, with all it's
charm of carving and glittering brass
handles, and with four full-length drawers
and five small ones.
Must there be only one chair in the bed
room?
Then be sure to make it an arm chair.
1t needn't be large and it shouldn't be a
rocking chair, but it can be one of the many
lovely, comfortable, not too bulky styles to
be found here; Windsor shape (Windsor
chairs fit in anywhere) an inexpensive easy
willow chair that can be had upholstered,
seat and back in cretonne, and finished in
any color enamel to harmonic with the
rest of your furnishings; puffy, luxurious,
upholstered chair or a fireside chair, of
which either can be found in medum-sized
as we'll as imposing dimensions.
Chairs big enough for the average man,
and even a giant could use one in pinch.
Rocking chairs aplenty we keep, to sell
to those who demand them, but, frankly, we
do not recommend them for bedrooms in
any size, on account of the space the rockers
waste and the peace O. nights they often
ruin.

oneself and never forgive oneself.
+. H0U Small Is Your Bedroom?
Small quarters" mean all kinds of
things, from the room where one sets the
one chair on the indispensable bed when
one dresses before the indispensable mirror,
to the room that is small only in the sense
that the occupant has seen bigger ones
in his lifetime.
It, indeed, may be that for somebody in
the family especially when there's an
overnight guest-the living room is the
bedroom.
In any instance, Wanamaker's can help
out with advice and with furniture. The
majority of our suits can be purchased by
the separate piece, so that you don't have
to take what you haven't room for.
Just as the largest and finest pieces
and suits OF furniture that the market
affords can be found in our matchless
stocks, so do they include the most compact
and convenient sizes for the dweller within
small space.
That's what makes them matchless
Your small bedroom will look larger if,
instead of dark wood with it's massive
effects, you use wood painted in light
color
Our studios are daily turning out the
famous Wanamaker hand-decorated suits,

charming color you wish. All these designs
are original here, and rarely are two suits

Of the furnishings of other rooms when the
house is very small as we all know. But
to advise in a case like this would be more
or less like the efforts of the fussy lady who,
on her first open-sea voyage, said:

Overstuffed furniture should not be
used to overstuff living rooms, although we
say it who are ready to sell you the finest
overstuffed furniture in this city.
An expert in home decoration says, "If
you haven't room for full-sized daven-
port, you'll repent trying to manage with
a small one. Instead, dispense with any
davenport and put the same amount of
money into two really fine easy chairs"
It's a joy selecting easy chairs here;
there are so many sizes and styles, and
they are so easy and not all are huge by
any means
center table in small living room is
another tradition that can be discarded
with advantage. Two even three small
side tables or end tables that can be drawn
up to chair, or folding tables that can be
enlarged or "ensmalled" at convenience. or
even one long davenport table against the
wall, take up really less space in the room
and serve every purpose, from playing
games to holding lamps.

should be among them, unless it has been
substituted for the night table in the bed
