CLARENDON DRIVE
TO RAISE $4,000
Clearing Up Mortgage on
Citizens Hall and Razinq
Other Debts Aim.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, July 30.-Pre-
liminary steps for a drive for $4,000
by popular subscription to clear up
the mortgage on Clarendon Citizens
Hall and to wipe out other indebted
ness of the Citizens Association and
Fire Department were taken at a
meeting of the Citizens Association
last night.
This action was decided after con-
stderation of a Recommendation OF
tho Clarendon Citizens Corporation
the holding company Of the associa-
tion. and its financial report showing
q total Indebtedness Of $7.Sss.6s. in
cludinE a first trust on the building
of $500. a second trust of $2,s25,
and notes and other bills payable by
the association of $1,473.69.
A committee consisting of Charles
r. Taylor, Herbert H. Porter, w. F.
Sunderman and J. Thomas Manning
was appointed to work out the de-
tails of the drive.
AS the greater portion of the funds
sought will 80 to freeing the Citizens
Hall from debt, 1t is expected the
drive will have the wholehearted sup
port Of the citizens Of the town.
All to Join Campaign.
The plan Of the drive of the steer
ing committee will provide for every
active member of the association
lending q hand in attaining the de-
sired results. It is said that the CO.
operation Of all other associations in

cations will be requested.
Up to this time the association has
been depending on profits Of carni-
vals to take caro- Of the notes on

there Is law prohibiting the use of

thai it has to- adopt some other
means Of raising necessary funds. 1t
was pointed out at the meeting that
when it Is explained to the prospec-
tive contributors that only a small
percentage of the money they spent
at carnivals remained in the town,
the greater portion going for ex-

Of the United States Veterans Bureau
speaking before a gathering OF Dis

Through the bill, continued Gen.
Hines, the bureau will be able to cor

INDIAN OIL LANDS
Action Taken to Revoke Per-
NIT for Prospecting on
Utah Reservation.
SEEKS TO FIX LAW
Stone Holds 20 Similar Grants, Is
by Fall, Are Clearly
Illegal.
SEEKS TO FIX LAW

A step looking to return of West
ern oil lands to the government has
been taken. it was announced last
night by Attorney General Stone.
He has directed that suit be filed in
the United States District Court at
Salt Lake City against E. M Har-
rison, the Midwest Oil Company and
the Southwest Oil Company, to can
eel an oil and gas prospecting per-
NIT upon a portion of the Navajo In
dian Reservation in southern Utah.
Covers $3.50 Acres.
The permit in question covers 1850
acres.
If the government is successful, it
may take similar action to invalidate
more than 20 other such permits,
1S of which were granted by
former Secretary Fall of the Interior
Department, and which apply to In
dian lands in a dozen Western To-
calities.
The action just taken by the At
torney General is the first suit filed
under a recent opinion submitted to
the President by Mr.. Stone In which
he held that the General Leasing Act
of February 25, 1920, does not apply
to executive order reservations, and
that permits already issued are in
consequence invalid.
Basis of Permits.
1t had previously been held by the
Interior Department that the pro-
visions of the General Leasing Act
applied to executive order Indian
reservations, the theory being that
presidential orders setting aside pub
lie lands for the occupancy of Indians
gave them only the use of the sur
face, and any oil. gas or other min
erals contained therein. remained the
exclusive property of the United
States. On this theory some 20 per-
mits covering large areas of Indian
lands in various reservations were
granted.
When the question arose concern
ing the validity Of these leases, the
Attorney General rendered his opinion
and instituted the present suit to OBJ
tain a final decision by the courts and
permits, thus conserving the oil and
gas in the ground until such time as
Congress may authorize their extrac-
ton for the benefit of the Indians.
Since the present Attorney General
placed different construction on the
law, the Interior Department has re-
jected all pending applications for
permits on such land, numbering
some 400.
Mr.. Stone and Secretary Work of
the Interior Department are in ac-
cord that no further leasing of the
lands involved should be permitted
until Congress authorizes extraction
of the oil or gas. They feel that Con-
gress should express its view as a
guiding policy for the executive de-
partments to follow.

]. NJ. Walsh of the sanitation COM
mittee told the meeting that the time
had arrived for serious consideration
of the question Of sewerage for the
thickly settled areas Of the county.
He said that roads seemed to be
taking precedence over sewers and
expressed the view that sewers should
come first or they both come together.
The secretary was instructed by
motion Of Mr.. Walsh, which was
adopted, to communicate to the chair
man Of the Arlington District Sani-
tary Commission requesting that the
commission resume its deliberations
looking to the establishment of a
system of sewers for the thickly pop
ulhted areas. c. r. Taylor not only
concurred with Mr.. Lyon that the
district could well afford q big road
building program, but said that the
county had the values to enable 1t
to bond. for $6,o00.000 and that he

gether as fast as possible and putting

MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY.

NEW YORK.-Not long ago the
old theory that a murderer is apt to
go to the funeral, attended in force

of a peculiarly atrocious murder.
Sounds foolish" said.

Years ago Spanish Louis was killed
by the men of a rival gang. Carl
Downing, who was then a reporter
on the old Globe. was assigned to
cover the interment. Downing wrote
tight to the formula, incorporated
this sentence:
And the last to look upon the
pale face Of Spanish Louis. were the
men who had killed him."
Then Downing went to the funeral.
tho only men present were himself
and the three men who. as every one
knew. shot Spanish Louis.
Which recalls a story told of Leo
Redding. now a town developer here.
or something of the sort. and then a
reporter on the old Herald. One
night he was eating lunch when
Bridgte Weber limped In. A night or
two before Weber had been shot by
q rivals gunner. Redding began
to kid him.
It'll get 'em yet" said Weber.
Let me know when you do," said
Redding, laughing hoarsely.
Sure I will" said Bridgie Weber.
A few days later an unknown man
elbowed Redding in the crowd on
Broadway.

whispered, confidentially, that to-

Art Linen.

Fancy linens. or art linens. are
found in the linen department, but
they always have their separate
counters. These include lace-trim-
med and embroidered linens for
dresser scarfs. sideboard covers, ta-
bieclo.hs. cases for handkerchiefs
and other toilet accessories, tray
cloths, doilies, luncheon sets. Japa-
nese bungalow sets, and the like.
Nearly all of these are made in
foreign countries. Some of the very
best goods come from Great Britain.
The cheapest articles of this nature
were originally made in Germany,
Belgium, Switzerland, France or
Japan. Labor is verY cheap in Japan,
so that country ESPECIALLY sends us
great qautities of art goods which
price. While these embroidered
linens come from so many different
countries, nevertheless you will find
that they are almost entirely worked
upon Irishmade linens.
Japanese bungalow sets are made
of a very soft cotton. These ma
terials are printed in most attractive
designs.
The embroidery on great deal of
the fancy linens is done my machin-
cry. his Is ieSS eApcHSINc
than that done by hand. while that
done on the Swiss embroidery ma
chimes is almost equal to handwork
in the beauty and perfection OF its
execution. You can tell handmade
embroidery. because it always pre-
sents the same appearance on both
sides. You can also buy 'hand-fin-
ished embroidery" that which is ma
chine-made, but the edges of which
are finished by hand. This is some
what less expensive.
Madeira embroidery, that exquisite
work which puzzles so many shop
pers, because they do not see how it
can possibly be handmade and sell
as cheaply as it does, is actually
executed one beautiful stitch upon
another by women and girls in the
Madeira Islands. They do this work
for the foreign exporters for an in
significant wage, and that is why we
are able to have this handsome work
in our homes. The patterns are usu-
ally in one conrer of the CLOTH and
the edge is scalloped. Sometimes,
however, in the cheaper grades, the
edge is put on by machine.
