America is said to be in the midst
Principles Of good design are ap-
piled vigorously to articles that go
into the average home to be used by
the average American family. Fur
niture, dishes, wall paper, even boxes
made to contain inexpensive articles,
are planned with an eye to beauty
as well as utility.
Beautiful things always have been
and always Will be within the reach
Of the gold-lined pocketbook. The
palatial mansion can display its
hand wrought silver, its old tapes
tries, and its gracefully carved wood
work But beauty Is not always at
hand for the less wealthy people of a
nation. And when quantity produc-
tion is the keynote to the decoration
on an ordinary pitcher or to the
cover Of a powder box.
Making useful things attractive.
however, Is a matter Of increasing
concern to captains Of industry. It
even has a bearing on international
commerce A French economist sew
eral years ago predicted that the
world war would be followed by an
artistic war, and that the nation best
organized for Industrial art success
would win the best markets for it's
goods. This Frenchman was not
alone in his conviction that the coun-
try to turn out the most attractive
In international trade. Throughout
Europe, the question of art in indus
try has for years been given serious
attention.
The United States was brought to
realize it's Limitations in artistic pro-
international exhibitions showed that
American designs ranked very low.
American business men were i'm
pressed with the superior work OF
instead Of going away with the idea
Of bringing home talent up to the
European standards OF artistry, they
increased their imports of foreign
designs.
Now, the need for America to orig
mate as we'll as to import and copy
is being urged. A conference on vo-
cational art was called by the United
State commissioner of education
last spring, and number of reports
and discussions of the Industrial art
! situation have appeared In print.
Indications are that there Is plenty
of art talent In the United States
There is only limited demand fol
portraits, genre paintings and cubist
sculpture, but innumerable young
men and women spend years study
ing principles of color, harmony and
design, with a view to producing fine
art. Almost every one who takes VI

that he possesses exceptional abilit,

eminent Truck Sales Company of Ell
Paso were the biggest buyers in leath-
erwarc.
Make Bids by Wire.
Col. A. b. Warfield. chief surplus
property officer of the army, came from
Washington TO attend the sale and was
in the auction room during most of the
day. The sale was held under the sup
ervision of Lieut.. l.. w. Lachmiller,
surplus property officer for the Eighth
Corps area, while the goods were
knocked down to bidders by Joseph
Rubin. government auctioneer for the
Eighth Corps area. Rubin was on the
block for six and n half hours with
only a fifteen-minute recess for lunch.
Starting at 10 80 o'clock in the morn
ing the sale continued until almost .
O'Clock in the afternoon, but not once
during the long grind was there any APP
preciable slack in the vigor with which
the properties were offered to buyers.
A number Of lots were sold on wire
bids. while n number Of others, after
failing TO draw satisfactory price to
the government, were taken back and
later resold.
A lunch stand was operated in the
rear OF the auction room and enjoyed
Il rushing business all during the day.
Only fifteen minutes were allowed for
lunch.
For the first time since surplus
property sales have been held in the
gcenral area depot here, representatives
Of the various railroads were present
and recorded all bids and buyers. They
maintained desks in the auction room,
and many arrangements were made for
SHIPMENTS during the day.
There were but So successful bidders
IN Tuesdays sale, while 103 paddles
were sold.

numbers of complete tents.
Large amounts of properties for which
there is no ready market was offered
for sale Tuesday, consequently the bid
ding for most of the day was lax and
le?s spirited than it has been for the
most part on previous sales. However,
when lots containing canned foods,
leatherware or clothing was placed on
the block bidding Immediately took an
upward squirt. Competitive bidding was
particularly strong on leatherware and
canned foods.
Fight for Pineappies.
For the first time since surplus
property sales have been held at the
general area depot. goods that were
stored in another corps area were sold
here,S Tuesday. Large stocks of canned
fruit stored in San Francisco and Seat
tie were sold to bidders in San Antonio
Tuesday This was done because of the
remarkable success that the government
has experienced in disposing of such
goods in past sales held in San Antonio.
Large bids were not common in Tues
days sale as they have been in past
ones. The largest sale came in the aft
ernoon when approximately 100000 was
paid by an eastern bidder for more than
100000 cans of pineapple stored in San
Francisco. Competitive bidding on this
lot was the closest Of any during the
day, bids being quoted as close as a
sixteenth OF cent.
Leatherware also drew high bidding
and for the most part was bought by
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico con-

SMALL REFINERS SAY
PIPE LINE COMPANIES
AVOID THEIR BUSINESS
Tell Committee Are Com
mon Carriers in Name
Only.

Washington, ID. C., Feb. 7.-Dcmand
that pipe line companies be made com
mon carriers in fact, as well in name,
was presented TO the Senate oil invcs-
tigating committee by half dozen in
dependent oil refiners.
The witnesses represented refinerics
in Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Texas
and Pennsylvania and all made known
that although pipe line companies were
made common carriers by act of Con-
gress in 1906, the larger pipe line con-
Germs at no time have furnished the
service to independent producers and
refineries that is generally expected of
free. and open transportation COM
panies.
although the pipe lines have been
classed as common carriers for years. {"
Benjamin Z. Brundred of the Brundred
Oil Corporation, of Oil City. Pa, one
of the witnesses declared, at is 10 be
noticed the pipe line companies have
studiously avoided business from the
small independents rather than sought
it."
Recommendation were made by the
witnesses that interstate commerce
commission regulations be modified TO
reduce from 100000 barrels the mini
mum tender OF crude oil which a ship
per is required to make; that every re-
lay point on pipe line be made a pos
sible delivery point. and that a COM
plete enforcement Of pipe lines from
companies he brought about.

HARDING URGES
 ADOPTION FLAG
 CODE OF RULES
President Suggests Making Rules for Proper Display
 American Flag.

WASHINGTON. D. C., June 14.- Adoption of code of rules and regu- lations for the proper display of the American Flag was urged by Presi- dent Harding today in addressing the American Legion's Flag Confer ence held here. The address was one of the features of Flag Day observance.
 It is the duty of every American citizen to learn to sing the National Anthem declared President Harding.
 He stressed the importance of a realization by every citizen of prop. CT reverence for the flag and exer. cising such reverence. This, he add ed, was not vital as one other thing that 1t should not be forgotten that American citizens have another obli- gation, namely, "ro maintain unim- paired the things for which the Flag stands"
