Others, while admitting that furniture enough to equip four small rooms could be bought for the sum mentioned. pointed out that the fur niture would not be of as good qual- ity' or as artistic or as comfortable, as that demanded by the average husekeeper today.
 The purpose of the exhibit, as an- nounced before, is to teach the house wives of the city how to furnish a home artistically, economically and Mayhr and Koues. experts from the Good Housekeeping Institute, are in charge of the work and for the past week have gone about their task of purchasing the various articles of furniture and have arranged the diff ferent rooms and their decorations.

Auto Rear Lights

Boston, Dec. GA new law regu-
lating rear lights Oh motor vehicles

possible standard for all states at
joint meeting in New York, Dec. 20.
of the lighting division of the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers and
the motor vehicle lighting commit
tee Of the Illuminating Engineering
society. The Massachusetts law is
said to have caused changes in the
standard equipment of several makes
OF automobiles, so that the effects OF
it will extend to all states in time.
The laws in most states now pro-
vide that rear number plates be so il
Illuminated at night that they may be
read at so to 60 feet, but it was as
serted by Registrar of Motor Vehicles
Frank A. Goodwin that no lamps
manufacturer until recently would
make it possible to comply. The
Massachusetts law requires that
plates be readable at night for a dis
lance of 60 feet, and the registrar has
approved SIS makes of lamp that CONF

SHIPS AT new YORK
REPORT TERRIFIC
STORM ON ATLANTIC

New ork, Dec. 26-Battered and
SCARED by heavy weather. fourteen
ships plowed slowly into Quarantine
from early morning until late after
noon today, the shippers of them all
reporting vicious never ending bat
tie with a series of flashing hurricanes
which seemed to shake the Atlantic
to the bottom.
One ship-the gigantic new liner
Caronia-put in at Halifax, because
she was steadily losing her fight with
the storm. Another liner reported
to her owners that she would be two
Gays late. A third flashed in with a
report that she could not reach New
ork until tomorrow, although she has
apparently gone safely through most
Of the storm.
The center of the storms which
have been ruling the waves for the
last three weeks, appeared to be
about 1000 miles off the European
coast. Shippers of the liners said
they crashed into them at this point
and fought steadily through terrific
gales until within 500 miles of the
United States.
All of the ships which came into
Quarantine today were freighters.
Some of them had parts of the
bridges gone. Small boats on their
decks were crushed and torn. In
one or two instances matches were
pounded in, and all of them reported
their crews had been in oilskins al
most steadily for from five to II
days.

Walsh's Suggestion
To Seize Coal Fails
To Excite Fuel Heads

Boston, Dec. 2G-The suggestion of
United States Senator David L.
Walsh Of Massachusetts that coal
should be seized by state officers and
distributed at cost to those in need
of it, was received with little en-
thusiasm by fuel administrators here.
James J. Phelan, state emergency
fuel administrator, declared that he
could not see wherein Senator
Walsh's recommendations would be
helpful, but that on the contrary
they might lead to considerable hard
ship and expense to the people.
Negotiations governing the distri-
button of tcoal in the state" Mr..
Fhelan said. ARE being enforced
through our 1910 fuel distributors
throughout the Commonwealth as
humanity as possible. The system in
force has made for as even a dis
tributon of the coal in each COM
munity since the resumption of min
ing in September, as has been pos
slble.
1.-THE supply Of anthracite coal in
TIE hands Of the dealers in the state
is very limited, and almost as quick
~ as a dealer receives his coal, he
has sufficient demand from his GUS
toners in order that he may comply
with the regulations as established to
compel immediate delivery"
President Clark of the New Eng
Lind Coal Dealers association, said
today that IS per cent. of the dealers
in New England would be only too
glad to sell out to the state if they
could do so without loss.

France Scores Point
Preparations Decision
On Wood Deliveries

Palis, Dec. 26.-(By A. p.)-Francc
gained an important victory in the AL
lied rcparations comm' ssion today
when the commission by a vote 2 to 1
declared Germany in oiIntary defaui,
in her wood deliveries for 1922.
France, Belgium and Italy voted in
favor of the declaration, while Great
Britain cast it's ballot against it.
The decision of the commission was
Immediately communicated to the AL
lied governments fer their action. 1t
may have a vital effect On the repara-
tons problem if France can retain the
support OF Italy and Belgium wien the
regulations question is discussed ct
the January meeting of the pre-
miors.
The lone vote cast against the dec
laration by Great Britain was in ac-
cordancc with British policy, which has
been opposed to declaring Germany
in default, in the fear that such ac-
ton might have a disastrous effect on
the already precat:ous state of Ger
man finance.
Franco is considered 10 have scored
an important point by reason of the
fact that the decision OF the commits
sion was arrived at CT majority
vote. France had been alone for Il long
time i'll the contention that Germany
could be placed in voluntary default by
a simple majority vote. Italy's sup
port OF France in the balloting came as
a surprise and as an indication that
Premiet Mussolini is swinging over to
the French side in the PREPARATIONS con-
troversy.
Germany has carried out moro
wood delivery for this year. When
the German experts were before the
commissions several weeks ago, they
announced that Germany had been
unable to deliver more than she had
and that the deliveries for 1923
must be greatly reduced.
There was much comment tonight
over the fact that Great Britain had
declined to vote in favor of declar-
ing Germany in default in view of the
approaching meeting of the premiers.
Although the deliveries Of wood in
themselves are of less Importance
than other matters connected with
reparations, the French point out
that today's decision is of real value
to Frances position on reparations,
since it reverses the order of things
and places Great Britain in an iso-
dated position on the issue.
Some Of the French observers af-
fected tonight 10 see in the vote an
indication that France. Italy and
Belgium may present united front
before Great Britain on the question
of reparations at the coming meeting
here of the prcmiers.

Half Million Libertys
Held as Forfeited Bail

New York, Dec. 26.-Liberty bonds
aggregating 100000 are lying in New
York City's Golfers with no possibility
of being IT, ID into cash unless spc-
cial legislation is adopted by the next
Legislature, city officials declared to-
day.
The bonds represent forfeited bail.
In New York county alone total of

lative action. The other four counties
of the city hold 100000 worth. 1t is
estimated that more than 100000 in
interest is due on the sequestered
bonds.
The present dilemma is due to the
failure in 1913 of state officials to
adopt legislation providi.'r for the dis
posal by counties Of Liberty bonds

Quiet Christmas
ThrOughOut Ireland

Dublin, Dec. 26-(By A. PD-Ire-
land passed perfectly peaceful
Christmas. For nearly three days
the country has been immune from
crime. The cabinet ministers for the
first time in many weeks left the gov
eminent buildings, going to spend
the holiday with their families. The
railway companies report that some
1000 persons crossed from England
to pass tho holiday period with rela-
tives in Ireland.
Although these are regarded as
signs Of increased confidence in the
government. anxiety is not altogether
absent. There were rumors that the
Irregulars contemplated a bold move
in Dublin on Christmas eve, but the
army authorities guarded against
possible danger by cancelling all
leaves to the troops with the excep-
ton Of those living in Dublin.
