Of comfortable. useful
glass-topped tables, with
beautiful art cretonnes be-

the upholstery of the
chairs and settees, there's
particularly d e sira bic
choice. wa
Most of these tables
form parts OF suits, but
they come in many shapes
round, oval, oblong-and
various sizes, some very
imposing.
One suit that provokes
great admiration is of will

usual moisture-proof COW

and vivid in color, like oil
chintz, but consisting Of a
lovely art cretonne in a soft
verdure design like a tap
estry, bearing a light glaze.
How interesting it would
be to lounge back against
one of these cushions, in a
restful easy chair or daven-
port, dangerously slipping
iced tea or sherbet, drink

singular fact that such

one thinks of after
noon tea ON the
porch, one thinks of the
table before any other
piece of furniture, and the
great number of tables on

RTWU,
Madam .
On the Preftiesf
Trays!

They have newly arrived
in the China Store and are
hand-decorated on wood in
various dainty pastel color1-
Some are glass-iined. some
not. Mostly they have high
wicker frames, finished in
contrasting or blending col
ors; much mauve and ivory
affected.
Some of the smaller ones
are in long. irregular oval
shape, with wicker frames at
each end TO hold the tail,
tinkling iced-tea glasses.
One of the largest and
handsomest of the trays is
oblong, 16x24 inches in size,
and is decorated in a stun
ming design of jade green
and mauve, very high, pure
coIors, with wicker frame An
ished in mauve.

ket). TO select the wire net
ting that insures comfort
in the sitting out" in the
long Summer evenings.
But the real fun is in
buying the furniture for
the porch, which gives you
an excuse for surveying
and enjoying the unex-
ceIled WanamAker display
of Summer furniture in all
its beauty, serviceability
and variety.
Variety, say we? Why,
it's wonderful
No two pieces in the
whole display are alike, un-
less they are two chairs be-
longing to the same suit;
yet there are hundreds of
pieces, dozens of suits, in
a fascinating range:
Reed. willow, cane, fiber,
grass, hickory, cedar-you
can select whatever you
want for your lawn, as well
as your porch, one modest
piece or a splendid collec-
tion of pieces

hues - coral, ivory and

the artistry and fine work

Rainbow Division Meets in Reunion Condemns Dry Law

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 15.-Re- senting statement made in London by Colonel Harvey, ambassador to England, that the war was fought by the United States from motives of self-interest, delegates to the second annual convention of the Rainbow Division Veterans associa- ton today condemned Colonel liar vey. They also condemned the eighteenth amendment to the United States constitution.
 A resolution endorsing the stand of the South Carolina chapter, which recommended that Colonel Harvey, representing. we trust tenn porarily, the United States at the Court of St. James. be deprived Sof his title of lieutenant- colonel, con- ferred on him in burst of generos- ity due to the hospitality of the state. and be given a dishonorable dis charge from the position." was adopted.
 Another resolution declaring that the eighteenth (dry) amendment, as adopted while four million men were either in France or deprived of a vote because they were in camps at home, and advocating that no change in the constitution on any subject be made when men are at war. was unanimously passed.
 The bonus question was left over until tomorrow. The veterans pa- raded through the business district 1 this afternoon.
 Minneapolis was chosen as the next convention city.

 The picking is done almost entirely by Japanese, and Is often a matter of contract It is usual for the pick CTS, who are expert at the trade. to follow the cantaloupe seasons in the various growing sections of the West, beginning with the Imperial valley, then coming to the Salt River valley, and ending their work in the Rocky Ford district of Colorado. Because of the abundance of labor in this vai- ley this season very few pickers were brought in.

MAN STABBED WITH
 |CE PICK MAY DIE

William Smith was seriously and possibly fatally stabbed yesterday af ternoon in a fight with John Mon- tieth in Peoria, where both men live. The weapon used was an ice pick, and 1t pierced Smiths stomach.
 According to Peoria residents. there has been ill-feeling between Smith and Montieth recently, though they formerly were friends Smith is alleged to have threatened Montieth because he believed the latter had been saying things about him.
 Yesterday Montieth was hauling sand for the new grammar school building at Peoria when Smith ap- peared on the business street. It Is said that Montieth had only short time before secreted on ice pick on his person in anticipation of trouble. At any rate, Smith accosted Montieth and a fight ensued in which Montieth. the smaller man. was severely beaten
 According to Montieth. who is be- ing held in Peoria, he cried enough but Smith continued the beating. Montieth claims he then drew the ice pick and stabbed Smith in self de- fense.
 Smith was rushed to Glendale and then to the Sisters hospital here. where he was attended by pr. G. $. Monical. county physician. His wound was reported dangerous last night, and his recovery was regarded as uncertain.

 Edward Dobbins. also an organizer said to be non resident of the state will remain in Mingo, in the interest of miners relief, for an indefinite period.
 Three other union men, included ir the nine who were remanded to the militia by the supreme court, were said to be residents of West Virginia and will be released permanent, pending their good behaviour
