the conference was suggested by MT. Daugherty.
 Acting Secretary fleming proposed cooperation between the states and the federal government in the mat ter of immigration along the folio w. ing lines:
 In preventing the surreptitous entry of aliens of all kinds and in experimenting those who have un- lawfully entered.
 In the location, apprehension and deportation of those who apparently entered lawfully but who made false statements with reference to them selves and who are excludable under the law if the truth had been known.
 In locating aliens found in pub lie institutions of all sorts because of mental or physical disability or because of moral restrictions subse- quent to entry, and moral derelic- tions subsequent to entry and pro- curing their deportation.
 In efforts for the proper distribu- tion of aliens.
 Coolidge's Address
 The text of the President5s address at the White House conference fol- lows:
 ''It is my peculiar privilege to well come you here as one why by experi- ence can look at your problems with that sympathy which comes from common fellowship. The governor ship of a sovereign state of our na- tion is an exalted position. It out ranks within it's own Jurisdiction with single exception every other office in America. 1t is the very greatest honor that 6 state can bestow. A gathering of governors has a significance greater than any other unofficial convention that can be held in the United States.
 Ut would only be matter of large public importance that could justify a gathering of the chiet executives of the states and the nation for a conference at Washington. You have been invited hero that I might lay before you some or the problems for better enforcement of law. A statement of the purpose is sufficient to indicate the importance for gov ernInent which aces not enforce it's laws Is unworthy of the name of a government, and cannot expect to hold either the support of its own citizens, or the respect of the in- formed opinion of the world.

open space in front of the fire, es- pecially when the room is small. By this arrangement, a chair can always be drawn up before the fire, or even a small settle for the time being. In a large room nice effect of coziness is gotten by placing the sofa few yards away from the fireplace with long table and comfortable chairs around it. Whatever the arrangement, if you are fortunate enough to have fireplace, always keep it the central point of your living room, for 1t is a friendly evocative element in any environ.
 The mantelpiece, if there be one, should never be oVercrowded with ornaments; it should always main tain its dignity and simplicity. A fine old clock with candlestick on either side Is, of course, extremely conven- tional but always a good arrange ment. Mirrors can be used to great advantage in the living room, but usually it is better to place them where they will reflect the fireplace. A portrait or a good print always looks well above the mantel

 In many modern apartments the dining room and living room are com- bined. This seems to be a very sen sible scheme. for instead of having two small rooms (and the dining room is really used but a few hours of the day) one may have one large room to serve both purposes. One way of managing this bit of economy is to keep one end of the room for the dining quarters: a refectory table with chairs around 1t always looks well.

Of course, the gate leg or folding table has the advantage of being able to be folded into a small space and placed against the wall when not in use.
 A word about bookcases. l think that the set-in bookcase is by far the best looking md the most economical. If that is not possible, exactly the same effect can be gained by build ing out the sides, top and bottom to the depth of the shelves.

returned. The final speakers, Gov ernors Morris of North Carolinia. Preuse of Minnesota, and Nestos of North Dakota, pledged the support of their states in making effective the enforcement program, and the conference closed with the adoption of the Presidents proposals. The meeting lasted less than three hours and many of the governors im- mediately hurried to trains and left the capital.
 Governors who would discuss the conference were somewhat divided as to the benefits they believed would accrue. Governor Silzer of New Jer- sey declared "the mountain had la bored and brought forth 8 mousse" Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, who was expected to be heard dur ing the meeting because of the lead ing part he has played in recent pro- hibition enforcement, but who re- mained silent, issued a statement in which he said he was sure "every governor present was fully impressed as I was with the fundamental truths set forth in the Presidents address" Statements made by other governors were along similar lines, depending on views on the prohibition ques- tion.
 Supplementing the Presidents pres entation of the prohibition enforce ment question, Commissioner Haynes in his address declared the chief present difficulty of his bureau might be termed as sectional. He acknowledged that the prohibition law was being violated, but declared the charge of general wholesale vio- lations was unfounded.
 MT. Haynes suggested that petty violations be taken care of by police departments and that local enforce ment agents cooperate with the fed eral prohibition authorities. Similar recommendations were made by Mutt in his address on narcotic law en- forcement.
 Defends Injunctions.
 Attorney General Daugherty pre- sented his position on injunctions. T am aware that public officials have been severely criticised for resorting to injunction proceedings in emer- gencies," he said Shocking as 1t may be, it has been effective, and there is no criticism of it, legal or otherwise, now that the courts have passed upon the legitimacy and pro- priety, as well as the forcefulness. of the injunction.
 .It is an effective form of civil proceeding for the prevention of crime, and it is better to prevent a crime than to stand by and permit it and depend upon criminal prosecu- tion after the law has been broken. life taken, or property destroyed.
 Tt is only the enemies of the pro- hibition law who say that it is not capable of enforcement. To admit that would encourage attacks upon the enforcement of other laws" | The calling of state conferences on enforcement which later was en- bodied In the program adopted by

THE FURNISHING OF THE LIVING

ROOM
 Writers By Julia Hoyt (Mrs. Lydig
 HOyt.)
 The living room. What lot that means if you thing about it! A room in which not only you and your fam fly love to gather, but one to which your friends love to come. To me real living room must have three qualifications, although I confess that I have been in some which didn't have them and yet to which l loved to go, but that was undoubtedly due to it's inhabitants But in general. leaving out the personal appeal, the three things necessary to real liv- ing room are first (the first and second are so equal in importance that I don't know which to mention first) comfortable chairs and sofas; second, an open fireplace and third. books. How important books are! They not only lend color and dignity to room, but they invariably make it seem lived-in and interesting. shall deal with the matter of book cases later.
 The important thing to remeber when decorating and furnishing a liv ing room is that it should inspire con- yersation and congeniality. The fire place is a good point on which to concentrate making lI a pOlnI or lu- terest around which comfortable chairs, a sofa, reading lamps or small tables may be placed If one be blessed with a particularly large liv- ing room there may be more than one such center of interest. Screens are a great addition to such 8 room, for they\may be so placed that they will partition off that part which is not in use and make the room cozy.
 It was in delightful home on Long Island not long ago in which the living room had been cleverly treated with screens. There were three distinct groups of furniture, one around the fireplace in the center of the room, and one at each end. A rathsr tall screen was placed in front of the door leading from the foyer, an arrangement which immediately gave a feeling of intimacy to the very spacious room. Another screen was placed back of the sofa which ran diagonally out from the fireplace. By this clever device the room was kept delightfully."- intimate and cozy for a small number of people, and yet, by the simple removal of the screen by | the fireplace it was ready for a large number of people, while the groups of furniture remained in their enticing arrangements.
 To speak in more detail about the treatment of the fireplace. I have noted that it Is wise to leave an

Queer Things in
Fighting Game
in New York City
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Sports Editorl

NEW YORK. March 1-On the
same theory that & thing should not
be called red because it looks red
and because of the established un-
reliability OF circumstantial evi-
denee, it might be said that the
New York boxing commission has
nothing against Jack Dempsey.
The commission has not suspend
ed, censured or gone officially on
record as having it in for Dempsey,
but the fact remains that the heavy
weight champion cannot work IN
New York.
Reasons comical and ridiculous
were given by the commission for
taking a stand against any bouts in
which Harry Wills, Jess Willard,
Tom Gibbons, Battling Sikh, Harry
Greb or Bill Brennan would appear
against Dempsey.
Georges Carpenter and Jos Beck
EFT were not placed on the official
embargo list, but when their names
begin to be mentioned, the commits
sion could rule that they are too top
heavy.
When the commission went so far
as to LET jess Willard step over the
barriers they had, erected in, front
of him, ii is hard to secs any reason
for refusing the champion of the
class to do a little fighting. 8
Another act of injustice is the
persistence of the commission in re-
fusing to lift the suspension of
Johnny Wilson, the middlewight
champion. If the commission can.
not see him as a worthy titleholder
perhaps the best thing to do would
be to let him fight and let someons
whip him. He can't beat anyone Il
he is as poor as everyone thinks he
is.
Battling Sikh got a nine months
suspension for doing more than Jack
johnson did when he was forced to
flee from the United States. After
three months the French Boxing
Federation lifted his suspension.
Johnny Wilson has done nothing
but eyade some of the eontenders
for the title and if that is an of
fense deserving suspension, no cham
pion would be working but Demp
sey.

High Wind Scares
Motorists on SD.
Road Yesterday

A brisk wind and an occasional
;;dawipour of rain yesterday render.
ed motoring between Ell Centre and
San Diego very uncomfortable and,
at times, a dangerous matter.
Passengers in one stage coach
were badly frightened when sud
den gust of wind tore the top off
the car and hurled it away down
the hillside.
Another ear had the hood blown
off several times on the trip and it
finally became necessary to use a
rope to cope with the strong on
slaughts of the wind.
While the experiences were ex-
tremely disagreeable to both motor
lists and stage passengers, nothing
more serious than the destruction
of permanent waves a nd drcnched
clothing was reported.
