THREE things have been done in recent years to make linoleum a superior floor suitable for any room in the house:
 First, better way oflayins linoleum-
 cementing-which insures an unbroken
 expanse of smooth, quiet floor surface.
 Second, waxing linoleum-a method
 that improves it's beauty and adds to its
 life, with much less trouble to the house
 keeper.
 Third, the beautiful new patterns in
 which modern linoleum is made have |.
 caught the eye of interior decorators
 and architects. For these reasons, when you think of linoleum, don't think of it stand ing in a roll in a store or roughly tackled to kitchen floor.
 Think of the bare wood floor of one of your rooms transformed by one of the new designs of Arm strong's Linoleum. Think of this inoleum as carefully laid by trained linoleum layer, cemented over lining of builders deaden-

ing felt which has been pasted to the wood underAoor.
 Think of this floor as chosen to harmonize in color and design with your furniture and draperies. Think of your nice fabric rugs laid on it.
 Think of ike inOIe~nu floor
 as wdxed
 New inlaid linoleum should be washed as soon as laid with a mild soap, like Ivory, and then waxed with two very thin coats of wax rubbed in thoroughly and polished with weighted brush. The thin film of wax improves linoleum as polishing improves shoe. All dust IS surface dust, and brushes right up. It is no trouble to keep this floor looking its best. It should not be scrubbed or secured. Touch 1t up about once a week with a cloth noistened in liquid wax.

GERMAN URGES SPEED
IN DAWES PLAN ACTION
Economist Says All Parties Should
Act Before It Is Too
Late.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October addressing
800 members of the Bond Club at a
bankers club luncheon yesterday. DR..
Moritz j. Bonn, German economist and
financial expert, urged that all parties
concerned in executing the Dawes
plan get busy before it became too
late.
Only two questions of prime i'm
portance stand out for consideration
in relation to the proposed $780,
100000 loan to Germany, said DR..
Bonn:
rs Germany able to pay?" and us
Germany willing to pay?"
After long discussion of both Ques-
tions, he answered them in the af-
firmative.
Germany will keep her engage
ments," he continued LAS to that,
the loan is safe. and so are the
obligations under the Dawes plan, il
Germany is but enabled to put the
plan into execution.
THE only point on which I am
not quite sure is whether the loan
is to be Il tangible reality or merely
myth. 1t seems to me that we
are losing far too much time in
technical disquisitions.
1T is not so much the material
import of s200.000,000, which, after
all, will quickly be converted into
materials for the use Of France, but
the psychological certitude that ev-
erybody concerned in the Dawes
plan carries out his part and carries
it out in time"

Enterprise.

AMSTERDAM, October Am in
teresting effort to establish an air
route between Holland and the Dutch
East Indies is to be made.
Fokker monoplane F-7 will start
today from Amsterdam aerodrome for
Il Holland Indian flight. In 1920 the
government promised 10000 guilders
to the first Dutch airman to reach
Java, but preparations were Cancelled
at the eleventh hour as the British
government declined to allow a
Dutch airman who used a German
Albatros plane to fly over British
territory
The present flight is not considered
sport demonstration, but aims at
assuring Holland place in interna
tional air traffic. The journey of
$4,000 kilometers viii be divided into
the following stages: Amsterdam to
Prague, to Belgrade, to Constanti

An air officer of the Dutch East
Indian army will catch up with the
party at SenCora in order to pilot the
machine in the final East Indian part
of the journey. The expedition is
subsidized by private banks and big
commercial enterprises. The funds
are insufficient, however, for recon
noitering airdromes beforehand, as
was done in the case of the Amer

military attache at Paris has sub
mitted to the Dutch airman reports
on the organization of the recent
