THE CHAIR WARMER

Every girl knows him and detests him.
 He is the young man who comes to call and just sits!
 He IS the young man who never asks you to go to the movies, have an ice cream soda or even take a walk
 He isn't particularly entertaining never tells good yarn or laughs at any of yours, but he is a good chair warmer. He will come as early as fifteen of eight and sit and sit and sit. At about eleven he'll yawn and get up enough energy to say, Well, l suppose l better saunter along home!"
 But in the hall or on the doorstep he always gets sentimental (for him) and as he holds your hand a little longer than necessary he will say. By the way. Mabel, may I come again next Wednesday evening""
 Now after he has been there six times and said this it is about time for Mabel to say, Not unless you have theatre tickets, a box of candy or trolley ticket"
 Not that the good od-fashioned young man who is willing to call isn't appreciated. He is, despite all this talk about girls no longer want ing to entertain in tn sir own homes Every girl enjoys having a young man call upon her once a week or So and she will make fudge. play chess or sing repular songs with him, but she will not tolerate chair warmer, a man who calls night after night and week after week and never sug- gests that they even take a stroll.
 The business girl wants to get out ano have a good time evenings. To sit cramped up over a typewriter or desk all day and then remain indoors and watch a chair warmer rock Is not ve.v amusing. She simply won't do it, that's all And the sweet. lit tie. domestic girl who stays home and helps mother do the homework doesn't feel very much like remain ing indoors with this type of young man either She doesn't even enjoy q dcwntown lunch or any of the thrills the business girl gets to look upon as everyday occurrences. You can't expect her to be delighted with d C. w. (chair warmer), can you?
 But, whisper, girls. the c. w. isn't bad catch at that. He usually knows how to save his money, how to stay. home and isn't at all likely to play poker or join stag parties All he needs is a firecracker under his chair. A real wire girl can get him to take her anywhere if she just begins easily. A trip. to the movies or stroll through the streets is the first initiation. After that, Instead of his asking. May come around next Wednesday evening?' he will begin to say. well. what about go- ing to see the Follies? Can I date you up?"
 And Mabel will say, "Oh, Charley. old gadabout? I never dreamed 1t of 5YOJIn

FRENCH WINDOW ARRANGEMENT

The amateur decorator makes all too little use of windows in the scheme of furnishing as she works it out. Never leave a window with out some surrounding arrangement. if you can help it. Always use it as a background if this idea at all fits in with the rest of the stunts that you are doing in that particular soom.
 A low upholstered chair. a low foot stool and a low, little table placed directly in the light falling from a French window add immeas- urably to the looks of that window in the scheme of furnishing. 1t would be wholly uninteresting without that subtle little grouping, and it would add nothing at all to the nominees or the quality of the sur- rounding furnishings.
 The chairs covering and the cush- ion for the footstool have been cov- cred with the same piece of cretonne which goes to make the pulled win dow curtains, and in this way the. ar engagement is tied together and made to look as though it belonged that way.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


HAGERSTOWN, Md, July 9.-TbaE
the Ku Klux Kian is not behind the
persecution Of William Hurd of Will
Transport, who was attacked by mob,
following charges that he beat Ollie
Hess, a stepson, and was responsible for
the condition of Grace McCauley, a
fourteen-year-oId assault victim, was
the statement today of DR.. d. F. Adams
DR.. Adams said he is a member Of
the Klan. He swore out the warrant on
which Hurd was arrested. The charge
against Hurd was dismissed when the
grand jury failed to find an indictment.
Hurd and his friends had appealed
for protection against threatened yio-
lence at the hands of what they said
were members of the K1an. Prosecuting
Attorney Wolfinger stated Saturday that
neither the Ku Klux Klan nor any Other
organization could interfere with the
law. If evidence is presented against
Hurd it will be properly handled by the
grand jury, he said.
Evidence in Case Secret.
DR.. Adams. who has said that Hurd
will be called to an accounting by the
citizens, is not familiar with the facts
in the case, the prosecutor says. as the
grand jury is an inquisitorial body and
its proceedings are secret.
A letter signed by an official of the
Hagerstown Dixie Klan stated that
If the charges against Hurd are found
seeing that justice is done. We had
nothing to do with the mob," the letter
said, however.
Prosecutor Wolfinger said today that
every citizen has a constitutional right
and he would see that the right is safe
guarded. He said the Hurd case was
clearly one Of persecution, and not pros
ecution.

CROP INSURANCE
| HELD PRACTICAL
Department 5i Agriculture
Report Says Government
Must Take Hand.

General crop insurance is declared
feasible, and urgently needed for the
protection of American agriculture
by officials of the Department OF
Agriculture who have been studying
the situation with a view to prepar-
ing data for the Senate committee
appointed at the last session to re-
port on the practicability of extend
Ing the scope of crop insurance.
The government experts after their
study of the subject have concluded
that crop insurance is so thoroughly
practical that ii is only a question OF
a few years before some workable
plans will be in operation on a large
scale.
Crop insurance, the governments
agricultural officials believe, should
cover the actual damage sustained
but not theoretical losses resulting
from failure to reap expected profits
What the farmer really needs is not
an insurance contract which will
guarantee him profits when nature
falls him, they contend, but one guar
.anteeing protection against crop dam
age so severe as to endanger his
financial safety. Such protection, in
their opinion, could be given at a
reasonable cost
Definite conclusions have not been
reached as TO the form of organiza-
ton through which the desired in
surance should be furnished. The
scope of the undertaking and its
novel character, in the opinion of
some officials. make it almost nee
essarily a government enterprise. II
is pointed out, however, that the
government would almost certainly
meet with bitter criticism as to the
fairness of the rates charged. II
has been suggested that the pro-
ducers should be brought into mu-
tual associations for crop insurance
purposes Private companies, though
discouraged over the first attempts
they have made in general covera ge
crop insurance, are continuing their
efforts

MEXICO CITY. July e.-Vital diff
ferences between the copy of the call
for deposit of Mexican bonds that is
to be issued to Mexican creditors and
the one that has been prepared for
simultaneous publication in the
United States and Europe have been
discovered, according to the news
papers here. The papers printed vir-
tually identical articles crediting
their information to the Mexican
treasury department.
Secretary of the Treasury de la
Huerta, according to these articles,
attempted to arrange the necessary
corrections with Thomas w. Lamont,
chairman of the American members
of the international commission of
bankers which drew up the call, but
Mr.. Lamont said it would be impossi-
Bile to make the change before the
time set for publication. He offered,
however, TO publish the corrections
later.
The differences in the terms of the
two calls have not been disclosed
here.
Denies Any Friction.
NEW YORK, July 9.-Thomas w.
tional committee of bankers on Mex
leo. said last night that reports Of
differences in the copies of the call
for the deposit Of Mexican bonds to
pc published today in the United
States and Mexico had, in his off,
hand opinion, been exaggerat ted.
When a dispatch from Mexico City
which said newspapers there printed
stories pointing out the differences,
was read to him at his home, in
Englewood, n. j., Mr.. Lamont said
he was not aware of any differences
whatsoever of moment. He said he
was informed that Secretary Of the
Treasury de la Huerta had raised
objections to the phraseology of one
sentence, but that in his (Mr. La
mont'sI judgment this was of minor
Importance. He added that it was
his impression that the slight change
necessary had already been made to
meet the views of the Mexican min
lister.
