Not the Largest
Nor the Oldest

The Star Furniture Company is
neither the largest nor the oldest
furniture store in Albuquerque.
The only claim we have for dis
tlnction is that no matter what we
sell, it is sold on margin of profit
that is as low as possible consistent
with good business practice.
During the past year several furni-
ture trade magazines have publish
ed articles about the Star Furni-
ture Company-about it's policy of
courtesy, its method of advertising
about the fact that most of the
goods carried are of well-known.

anteed both by manufacturers and

not, we believe that an early ac-
quaintance would be mutually
profitable.

discussed further tomorrow by the
conferees and the agreement of the
operators present is dependent upon

Under the plan President Harding
would appoint committee which
would ave general supervision Of the
measures to be adopted for emergency
fuel control designed to safeguard the
public from an impending coal famine.

SENATORS BOTH PARTYS FAVOR
PROMPT PAYMENT j, S, DAMAGE
CLAIMS GERMANY. AUSTRIA

Washington, July 24.-(By A. P)-
Republican and Democratic senators
, today joined in demands for prompt
payment of American damage claims
against Germany and Austria but diff
fered as TO procedure during three
hours debate on the bill of Senator
Underwood of Alabama, the demo-
cratic leader which proposed an
American claims commission.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader. indicated that
he favored a joint claims commits
sion. Senator Lodge. however, agreed
with Senator Underwood that rop-
erty seized by the alien property GUS
todian probably would be used to pay
American damages, but such a meth
cd of payment was opposed by Sen
ator Walsh, Democrat, Montana.
The discussion was opened by Sen
ator Underwood with a statement in
support of his bill in which inciden-
tally he denied charges of fraud in
connection with acquisition by the
chemical foundation of five thousand
German chemical patents. now the
basis Of government suit. Wide dis
cussion Of the chemical foundation
affairs was precipitated Chairman
Nelson of the judiciary committee at
lacking Senator Underwood's position
and charging that the foundation was
spreading propaganda, while Senator
Underwood declared that the founda-
ton was an eleemosynary concern,
with profits limited and designed to
develop American chemistry.
The Underwood bill was referred
today to a judiciary sub committee
headed by Senator Cummins. Repub-
lican. Iowa, which will begin hearings
next Thursday. Thomas w Miller,
alien property custodian and his pre-
decessors in office. former Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer and Fran
els p Caravan, the latter now presi-
dent of the Chemical Foundation, are
to be among the early witnesses in
dicating that the Chemical Founda-
ton case will be gone into at some
length.
Underwood's bill had been referred to
the state department for an opinion
Senator Lodge advising the senate
that the department was negotiating
with Germany for a treaty to estab-
lish a joint claim committee. Sen
ator Lodge added that he would not
favor giving such a commission power
to decide whether Germany was
bound to pay American claims but the
commission. he said. should only fix
the amounts due.
This was opposed by Senator I'm
derwood who said he favored an
American commission to fix American
claims and that American claimants
might be DELAYED Unfortunately if their
claims were placed in the hands Of a
joint commission.

ARMY BOARDS JOB
firing" SOME $500
OFFICERS, ON TODAY

Washington, July 24.--The board
Of general officers appointed to un-
dertake the biggest "plucking" job
ever initiated among the regular
army officers corps will hold its first
meeting tomorrow with Major Cen
eral Joseph 7. Hickman, retired, pre-
siding as president. 1t was to Rave
begun operations toward the elimi-
nation or demotion of some $500 Of
ficers today but was held up by the
absence of one member.
Members of the board, which is
representative of all arms Of the SER
vice were greatly concerned in their
preliminary discussions today over
the probable effect upon the morals
of the army of the suspended zen
tence now hanging over the head Of
practically every officer in the service
with the exception of General PERISH
ing and the bakers dozen of second
leutenants now in the army.
Congress in directing that the Off
GERS corps be reduced by January l
to 1900 did rot include the general
officers of the army in fixing the num-
Der to be retained in each grade. The
war department in preparing instruc-
tions for tie "plucking board" did in
clude the general officers insofar as
retirement Of any of the major or brig
adler generals for physical disability
would create vacancies and permit he
appointment of colonies to general Of
ficer rank, reducing the number of sur
plus colonies TO that extent
There appeared also to be much con-
Germ among board members as to the
view army officers might take of the
boards action in recommending any
officer for honorable discharge. Prelim-
mary investigation indicated that
probably more than 1900 officers now
enrolled must be "separated' from the
active service in this way.
The board, it is understood will
seek by every means to impress upor
army and upon general public the
view that discharged under the con.
ditions in no way reflects upon char
acter of the service a discharged of.
, ficer has rendered and that in ma

would much prefer to retain these of.
