Detectives Springman and Darnall

USED CARS, like used houses.
are filling a most vital need in
this country. Where the one
shelters the family as one under
its roof, the other takes the fam
lily as one out into unexplored
bvways and reveals to them new
delights. Where one is a COM
mon meeting place for the whole
family, the other is a source of
inspiration and joy to the whole
family. Each plays its part.
There is no more reason for
hesitating about buying a
used car than for hesitat-
ing about moving into a used
house. Each is essential TO
life, to health and to hap
piness. And it is only fair to
themselves for those who have
denied themselves the advan-
tages of automobile ownership

INITIATION
DANCER
Senator Warns That Business
Situation Is Loaded With
:, Dynamite"
BY FRED j. WALKER,
COsmOpoIltan News Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20
Characterizing the next six months
as being figuratively loaded with
dynamite" for American business,
Senator Irving L. Lenroot of Wis
consin today, in an interview,
warned the business men and
farmers of the nation that "only the
greatest Of judgment would prevent
an economic collapse similar to that
of 1920"
'The danger confronting the coun-
try in the next six months il infla-
ton. A boom in this period of time
similar to the one of 1919 would be
disastrous" Senator Lenroot said.
1T is up to the business interests
to recognize this danger. They
should not let prices run away with
themselves in the various lines they
are engaged in.
1.-THE present constantly ascend
ing price level means trouble. What
we need today in America is a stable
level of prices" he added. 'sThe
present sugar situation Is an excel.
lent illustration OF the tendency with
returning prosperity to inflated
prices and repeat the false pros
perity Of 1919. Unfortunately, the
Government is powerless to regulate
this regrettable condition.
Senator LenrOot said it was his
hope that financial America will be
content in the next half year to Sc
cure merely reasonable profits.
IF they could only get together
on some constructive pyOgram look
ing forward toward the Securing of
reasonable profits, j believe the
danger would pass away. And 1t is
in the interest of business that /
say this. 1t is much wiser to ac-
cept reasonable profits, as compared
with exorbitant profits for q period,
and then heavy losses"
"The American farmer" Senator
Lenroot continued, 'is not going to
share in the belief of prosperity so
long as he has q large surplus un-
disposed Of.
ut would be to the interest OF:
the farmer IL he did not have a
large crop OF cereals this year. He
would then secure higher prices
and might be able to secure finan.
cial independence"

PACT
Hughes Insists on open Door
Policy in Answer to Japan's
Opposition.

Strong representations are being
made to China by the United States
to prevent the Peking government
from refusing the Federal Telegraph
Company, of California, permission
to build a powerful wireless station
in China, it was learned at the
State Department today.
The construction work planned by
the American concern, authority for
which was granted by the Chinese
government in. 1918, is being held
up for the present because Of OBJ
jections raised by the Japanese gov.
eminent in behalf Of the Mitsui
Company, Of Tokyo. The Japanese
company claims to have a priority
right for the development of radio
communication in China and is in.
sisting that this right be recognized
by the Picking government.
The negotiations for this Govern
ment are being conducted In Picking
by Jacob Gould Schurman, the
American minister, but at present
the whole question is status quo,
according to officials here.

pany in China, Secretary of State
Hughes has insisted on the principal
of the "open door," holding that
both companies may operate in the
Orient without detriment to either.

MOSES OPENS
FURNITURE
SHOW
Firm Is Exhibiting Some Of
Finest Carpets and Suites
Ever Seen in Capital.

A Kirman carpet, valued at
$4,000, and which represents the
work OF an entire family engaged on
it constantly for forty-five years, il
one Of the features Of a novel and
interesting exhibit of unusual and
distinctive furniture displayed this
week at the w. B. Moses & Sons
store.
The exhibit is in the nature of a
furniture fashion show, and the
store is tastefuIly decorated with
palms and flowers for@the occasion.
The grouping Of furniture into units
has been carried out in a thorough
manner.
Many who visited the exhibition
have taken particular interest in the
special Venetian bedroom suite, the
original OF which was in the posses
sion Of the Emperor of Austria prior
to the war and subsequently brought
to this country.
1t ID now owned by a collector of
New York. The suite shown is the
exact reproduction, even to the
finish, which is antiqued to repre-
sent the lapse of time from the
eighteenth century to the present.
A tapestry of unusual beauty is
the "Earthenware Stall" which is
a copy from a very famous paint
ing by Goya. The shadings and
delicate colors convey the impress
sion that 1t is a painted canvas,
whereas the design is. woven into
the piece.
Another popular part of the
furniture show is room which is
decorated to represent a garden.
The room contains the newest de-
signs and styles in willow, reed and
outdoor furniture. A porch set is
a, part of this garden room, which
gives an excellent idea of the way
porch should be furnished.
