Refinishinq Furniture. a

Finishing light wood furniture, say

thin white shellac, then one or two
coats of light varnish, sandpapered af.
ter each coat. BY light woods is meant
maple, birch, white pine, birdseye ma
pie, or any wood that has not been
stained. II the furniture to be fin.
ished light is old, remove all varnish.
bleach any stains with oxalic acid So
luton, sandpaper, wipe off all dust
and give 1t a coat of white shellac.
OF the shellac is too thick, thin II
with alcohol) In 20 minutes rub
down and finish as directed under "re-
finishing of walnut furniture" There
is a varnish on the market known as
fat varnish; this will dry fiat, with.
out high glass, and looks somewhat
like that which has been rubbed
down, but varnish which has been
rubbed makes the best finish. Rub
bling varnish Is we'll worth the time

The proposal for government owner
ship and operation of railroads in the
United Statestis menace to the ex-
listing forms OF government. 1t Is sup
ported by those who would destroy
the courts and long-established COM
mercial relations. Radicals Of this
sort favor government ownership as
an entering wedge to be followed by
the naturalization Of all public utili-
ties and means Of production Of those
commodities which are essential to the
public welfare, including the coal and
steel industries.
Success by them In establishing gov
eminent ownership and operation Of
railroads would inevitably result in de-
stroying our republican form Of gov
eminent, and ultimately result in de-
nial Of all personal rights in private
property.
Without discussing a political or
economic result, attention Is called to
the financial results only Of govern
ment ownership and operation Of rail-
roads In Italy and Canada, and the ex.
perience Of government operation In
the United States.
EXPERIENCE OF ITALY
In 1905 the Italian government took
over the ownership and operation of
Its railroads, which, in 1920, COM
prised 9,747 miles. 1t has lost heavily,
and only occasionally made a small
profit. The number Of employees has
increased from 154,S56 in 1915 to 216,-
OTIS in 1920, and they have become an
organized political machine, which, by
frequent strikes and continued oppo-
sition have made efficiency Of opera
ton impossible. Since Premier Mus
solini assumed control Of the govern
ment the number Of employees has
been reduced by 10000 in an effort to
improve the conditions, but he is now
offering to lease the roads to private
operators.
The deficit for 1920 amounted to
S165, 1881 ,943, or $17,2O5 per mile of
road. The capital invested in these
railroads Is about $1,7OO,OOOOOO, and
Mussolini has no expectation of earn
ing any interest on this investment,
although at 6 per cent It should yield
SIP 100000 annually. Disguised with
government ownership, the Italian gov
eminent has offered to turn over the
railroads to private enterprises. Under
the leases proposed by the premier the
operators will be entitled to earn z
per cent profit Excess Of profit above

NOVEL Y At
CONCERT
Or. StokoWski Closes orches-
ira Season With Varied
Program.
BY WILLIAM MOORE.

DIR. Leopold Stokowslxi brought
the orchestra season to a close
yesterday with the presentation of
one of the most varied and inter-
esting programs the Philadelphia
Orchestra has ever attempted in
this City.
Both musicians and auditors had
q merry ti44fe- of it. The conductor.
himself, was in fine fettle. In short,
it was as hilarious an affair as an
afternoon concert can be.
In addition to the purely orcheE-
trail numbers, young Alfred Ca
sella, the italian pianist, appeared
as the soloist.
Gives Chinese Sketch.
If you have ever been in China.
town on Chinese New Year, you
can appreciate somewhat two
novelties offered by Dr. Stokowski
for the edification of his audience.
They were Chinese Sketch and
Japanese Nocturne," both written
by Henry Eichheim, of Chicago,
and presented in Washington for
the first time yesterday.
Some idea of the effect Of the
first novelty can be gained if one
imagines an ill-tuned calliope
factory whistles, boiler works
sundry cowbells and tin cans
blended in one long, discordant
shrek.
To our occidental ears, the
Chinese Sketch. was just so much
racket, but, according to the com
poser, the material compounded in
this mess of noise is the sweetest
melody to the Oriental.
We strongly suspect DIR. Stokowski
must have paid visit to Race
street, in Philadelphia, in order 10
obtain first hand the inspiration
which resulted in his admirable, in,
depreciation of the Eichhelin work.
"Lenore" Opens Program.
The program opened with
Beethoven's delightful "Lenore,' .
overture No. 3. The "muffled
trumpet" heralding the advent OF
"Lenore" was very effective. The
overture eliminates in a paean
of rejoicing.
The dance from "Snegourotchka, =
by Rimsky-korsakow, recalled the
opera. which was given recently
here by the Chicago Opera Com
pany.
Casella was soloist in Mozart 1
d Minor Concerto, for orchestra
and piano. and Albeniz's "Rapsodie
Espagnole." In the former, all the
typically Mozartian themes wert

COUNTY FARM AGENTS
ADVOCATED FOR HAWAII

HONOLULU, March 21.--Recom.
mendations that system Of county
farm agents similar to those liz
America be established in connec,
ton with the University of Hawaii,
at the expense Of the Territory, are
contained in a report submitted to
Governor Wallace r. Harrington by
a committee of university professors
on the marketing of Hawaiian
produce.
Such a system prevailed In the
islands during the war but since
was abandoned. 1t Is particularly
designed to render assistance to
homesteaders and small farmers.
Albert Horner, Territorial sugar
expert, has recommended also to the
governor that he be supplied with
an assistant on each of the islands
of the Hawaiian group.
1t is likely that the two recon-.
mendations will be merged and sub,
mttted TO the legislature for action
at its, forthcoming session this spring.

The condition OF Mrs. Harding
