DESCRIBES THE ST. LAWRENCE PROJECT
Low Freight, New Horse Power and
Great Sea Highway Are a
Few Of the Benefits
BY William b. Mckinley

Mckinley Of Illinois, a member OF the
senate committee on appropriations
has taken a great interest in the pro-
posed opening of the st. Lawrence
river to ocean traffic. Through that
interest he has made extensive in
~yeStigations into every angle of the
possibilities, cost, labor, benefits to
all classes, development Of new pow

thusiastic supporter of the v
Briefly, the advocates of the st.
Lawrence seaway propose to improve
the channel of that river between
Lake Ontario and Montreal to a
depth of 80 feet, so that lake carriers
can reach Montreal and ocean freight
ers can enter n depart from the
Great Lakes, using the Welland canal
between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario
and the other connecting channels to
Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake
Superior.

mended by the International Board of
Engineers and approved by the Inter
national Joint Commission be carried
out under a treaty between the United
States and Canada, and legislation by
congress and parliament.
This plan contemplates a dam in
the river between New York and
Ontario, which will flood rapids and
incidentally develop about 100000
hydro-electric horse power to be
shared equally by the two countries;
also three canals a%ggregating 33
miles in length, one of about eight
miles sidepass the dam, the second
about Is miles long to connect Lake
are part of the river in the Province
of Qquebec, and the third of about
10 miles around the LaChine rapids
near the entrance to the harbor OF
Montreal.
Altogether these three canals will
have seven locks, each $50 feet long,
so feet wide, with 80 feet of water on
the inter sill. The canals will be
made at least 25 feet deep at once
and %deepened to 80 feet under the
engineers plow. The estimated cost
is 1882, 000, 900 for the 25-foot depth,
and SIS, 00O,O additional to deepen
the canal to 80 feet.
These three canals are in Canadian
territory, the one around the Inter
national Dam being in Ontario and
the other two in the Province of Que
bee. Beyond the 45th parallel the
river is wholly within Canada where
the United States have no riparian
rights and therefore the water flow
in that section, estimated at $500, 900
horsepower, is left untouched as a
natural and bountiful heritage of
Canada to be developed in the future
as her people may determine.
Under a treaty made with Great
Britain in 1871, the United States
was granted the free use of the st.
Lawrence river forever, and Canada
vas given free use of all the Great

WITH THE development of these sales the
w furniture business as whole has grown to
an enormous volume.
What is of more vital Importance, it has
risen to new standards in constructive quality
and refinement of design.
With the development of Wanamaker Fur
niture Sales and the resultant demand for better
furniture, manufacturers north, south, east and
west have felt the urge to new and more intelli-
gently directed efforts toward excellence.
Where the Work of the Masters
Lives Again
A walk through the furniture stocks in this
February Sale is like an excursion back to old
days. the days when cabinet-makng seems to
have been the foster-child of architecture.
Here you will see all that was finest in the
cabinet work of the days of Washington, all that
was beautiful in the furniture of the old time
craftsmen and designers, perpetuated in thou
sand forms-in Colonial furniture that might
have come straight from Mount Vernon or from
some of the rare museum collections in Sheraton
that Thomas himself would stop to admire; in
Louis XIV and Louis XVI; in Chippendale and
Heppelwhite and Adam furniture that illustrates
the principles of design of which these master
workr.en were the exponents. |
The chief difference is that the furniture
shown here embodies improvements in mechan-
ical detail at which the fathers of the various
furniture "periods" would wonder. '"t>,
Yes, the Father Of his Country had to get his
furniture from London, but things are different

Italian influence is revealed in them, and
something more. Duller finished woods and
novelty yofcolor-these are marks of them Gray
sometimes elusive and silvery, with polychrome
and dull gold decorations are characteristics of
them. Besides Italian their lines and contours
hint of other inspiration; it may be Flemish or
Renaissance or Byzantine
Butthey are captivating especially because
OF their unconventonality and fine individual
charm!

today. Those very pieces thatwere brought over
then have had an influence that will last while
furniture is made. They are responsible for the
"Colonial" style, now regarded as distinctively
American school, notwithstanding that, like Co.
lonial architecture, it is of Georgian genesis.
Strange, however, that while the identity of
Colonial architecture and Georgian architecture
is unmistakably obvious the furniture periods
classed as Georgian, and even late Georgian, are
markedly different from the Colonial type,
Whethef pure Colonial or Colonial Empire.
This will be apparent to any observing per-
son who compares typical Colonial piece with
a piece after any one of the Georgian designers
from Chippendale to the brothers Adam. And
the interesting thing is that the Colonial piece
often seems more in harmony with the typical
Georgian home. 1t is much to the credit of Amer
ican furniture designers that in developing and
perpetuating the furniture of Colonial times they
produced new and beautiful variant, enhanced
the glory of the Georgian school and left per-
petual source of inspiration to the cabinet crafts
men of this country for all time.
4 Nev Day In Furniture Makinq
In this sale youwill find not only all the fine
old classic models, but many significant new
types, chiefly dining-room SUITS
There was just danger of things becoming
conventionalized or stereotyped. Many home
furnishers felt it and were weary. They priced
the fine old types and always will, but they felt
longing for disinctively new one.
This time we are showing suits that are
new and distinctive.

makes its bow right now. The

emu OF December. All the debutantes
nave been launched and all the De-

issued. The opera is In full swing.
Every woman of the social world has
several teas, a musicale, a dinner, d

In the week except Sunday-and even
on Sunday there occur concerts and
dinners. After the holidays people
will begin to drift southwark but dur
ing December the season is in full
ding.
So most OF the hats in the milliners'
wtndows-and on the veil-draped
stands In those exclusive shops where
only one hat at a time is exhibited
like the valuable production of an old
master-are formal hats: hats to be
worn at receptions, at matinee box
parties, at restaurant dinner hour, and
the like. Even street hats take on
formality at this season. Only on
stormy days do you glimpse easy-on-
and-off sport hats or simple little tur-
bans. Hats for late December-and
Incidentally for the gay holiday week
are affairs that have to be adjusted
With precision before one's mirror;
hats that set off the formal velvet
