NEW YORK. Dec. II.

ioAhNs A<cS- L..
A JCTION antique sales bloom
n in every block. The craze
L n for collecting has swept
New York like wildfire. 40
home Is complete unless cluttered
up with ancient what-nots. Bach
elors, who used to press against
the bar rail at leisure moments,
now scour the midtown auctions.
Chippendale has supplanted the
dry Martini. In matters artistic
l yield the palm of ignorance to
no man. yet it does seem to me
that the thing is being overdone.
l know a man of heavy affairs
who is neglecting work to flush
out of dingy auction shops a pair
of Balboa mirrors.
When he gets them, all he can
do is look at himself. And he
has a wart on his nose. Period
furniture is easily imitated-even
to the worm holes. There is a
man who makes a good living
taking a worms ruthlessness.
Living on a worms shame, as it
were,
The easiest place in the world
to be artistically gypped is in an
auction shop. Even the worn
look Of Jacobean furniture can
be faxed beyond detection. And
a firm in New Jersey turns out
Adam candlesticks by the gross.
There are many honest dealers,
but unhappily they are in the
minority. Just last week a ricn
bachelor bought a Chinese porce-
lain for several thousands of dol
lars. He purchased it because Of
the "old look" around the base.
The 'old look" proved to be d
coating of varnish. When he
went back to the dealer, he found
he had moved away.
The chief charm of collecting,
Of course, is acquiring knowledge
of the romance of antiquity. 1t
is an absorbing study, taking one
back to the days of dukes, gran
dees and feudal kings. Men who
all their lives thought of Pc
RODS as things like these
can now discuss the various cy-
cles of time with an erudite flair.
One of the finest homes on
Park avenue has been taken over
by an antique dealer. He used
to be an automobile salesman.
He has grown as rich as a boot
logger in about two years. So
clety has opened its doors to him.
It's a mad world. Slightly cuckoo.

On the seventeenth floor Of No.
II Broadway the board of direc-
tors of the United States Steel

AT such a time there is a hair
trigger expectancy. The pink of
the Wall street reporters are in
the Railways waiting for news to
flash around the world-news
that may send the money marts

opened. A mighty magnate

beaming on Nadia, and then

tinued Theed. "The consideration
AS you all know, every convey
ance Of property must contain a
consideration-the consideration in
this case is merely the fact of re-
lationship- That is to say, the
settlement is made solely through
the fact that the lady is her

II shall now require the sig

He bowed to Nadia and prof.
fered her a fountain pen. She
made no attempt to take it.
Would you prefer your father
to sign first?" suggested Theed.
Nadia looked at Jarroman. and
shook her head. Stranack moved
slightly toward her.
'I think I understand" put in
Stranack. He addressed Jarro-

HIS HONOR ALONE IS
HOME FROM HUNT

Judge M. w. Conkling, as the ad-
vance guard of party of hunters who
have spent several weeks in Lower
California, returned to FL Centre last
night, with heavy coat of tan, the
same old twinkle in his eyes, and q
flock of good stories. Accompanying
the judge on the trip were j. w. Glass
ford, Ross T. HickcOx and Harry Hor-
ton of FL Centre and AdoIph Becker of
San Diego.
Asked where the other members of
the party are now, the judge said
Glassford and Horton are somewhere
near Jacumba, having the cactus
needles pulled out Of their hides before
coming here for the primaries, Hick-
cox is near San Diego buying ice water
for the game wardens so he can get tho
party's game into the state and Becker
is back, on the job in San Diego.
The Judge said they camped about
265 miles south of Tia Juana in the San
Pedro mountains at an elevation Of
5000 feet, making the trip down in
three cars without any mishaps and
enjoying every foot Of the way. Reach
ing the mountains, the equipment wa,
packed on burros, ana here the party
had it 3 first trouble, due, said the
Judge, to Ross Hickcox bringing along
so much personal wearing apparel with
him.
"Harry Horton distinguished him
self by shooting seal when we neared
the. coast on the return trip, and then
had to swim out and tow the carcass
ashore. Later he skinned it, while the
rest of us suffered in silence, and VIC

U. S. OPERATION OF
MINES PROPOSED

-
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.--Federal
operation and control of the coal mines
is authorized in an amendment offered
today by Senator Edge, New Jersey, to
the Borah coal commission bill, under
discussion in the senate.
The Edge amendment would declare
a national emergency and would grant
the president practically unlimited
powers in mine operation.
Edge withdrew the amendment at the
suggestion of Senator Borah, but de-
clared he would reintroduce it as sep.
arate bill with a request that it be re-
ferred Immediately to the Interstate
commerce committee for action.
An almost identical measure by Sen.

HAYWOOD PLOTS REVOLUTION IN u. S.
Valera Comes Out
OfHding To Shed
More Blood In Erin
Uaited Press Leased Wire

DUBLIN, Aug. 25.-Eamonn> dc Va
'lera today dramatically emerged from
his hiding place and is rallying an army
in county Louth in preparation for an
attack on Dublin according to persis-
tent reports here. The rumor ran rap
idly through crowds mourning at the
bier of Michael Collins, whose body lies
in state in the City Hall.
Officers of the Free State govern
ment were understood to be attempting
to communicate with towns in county
Louth in an effort to ascertain the
truth OR falsity of the reports.
County Louth lies just north of Dub
lin. If de Valera has reappcared he
has seized this opportunity when he
believes the Free State is demoralized
by Collins assassination, to make an.
other effort to overthrow the govern
ment.
Hundreds Hunt Rebel Leader
While the body of Collins lay in
state, hundreds of armed men searched
for de Valera, who has been hiding
since collapse of the last insurgent up
rising here.
Collins was the chief, advocate of the
policy of handling the rebels with
gloves. Now that he is dead there is
strong agitation for q merciless cam
paign against the rcbcls. One of the
first steps in crushing them is to be
the capture of de Valera.
