More Expressions Upon Un. derstanding With Ex-
 Gov. Conner
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU

l v
 MONTGOMERY, Feb. S.-Further evidence of widespread approval of the understanding reached between former Governor B. B. Conner and Ali Tun- stall, campaign manager for Oscar Un- derwood, in the matter of selection of delegates to the democratic national convention is contained in communica- tions which continue to be received at Underwood headquarters here. Some of the expressions received to- day are as follows: W. K. Dortsch of Gadsden "I think the reaction to the Tunstall- Conner statements and the agreement to let Governor Conner name half of the del egation has been distinctly of favor able nature in my section."
 Senator H. M. Caffey, Haynesyille |: II think the statements and the agree ment are good. It ought to get things in apple pie shape. It guarantees a dry delegation. Every one should get behind Underwood. Let's bring Ala bama to the front"
 Judge F. J. Ingram, Ashland The latest developments will clear up the situation, if any one has been in doubt, Conner will name a dry bunch of dele gates. There is no organized opposition to Senator Underwood here"
 Judge E. J. Harrison. Ashland-"The Comer-Tunstall agreement absolutely assures a dry delegation. If any pro- kibitionist has been in doubt he ought to be satisfied now
 Dissolves Opposition
 John A. Lusk, Guntersville-o'The latest development, the ComerTunstall agreement, has dissolved whatever aoppo. ..k here. I regard it as a very favorable development, which completely clari- fes the situation in any mind which was in doubt.''
 Judge E. P. Goodwin, Fayette-"The Comer-Tunstall agreement will have a mighty effect. There is no organized opposition to Underwood here, but the latest development. will practically kill the opposition, if there is any"
 J. NJ. Holley, Elmere-"I have mo- ticed a marked effect among the wom- en over the agreement that Governor Conner will name half the delegation. The two statements of Governor Co- ner and Colonel Tunstall absolutely cinch dry delegation to the next dem- ocratic conventiOn.'
 Sees Decided Effect
 Dempsey Powell, Greenville-"The statements of Governor Conner and Colonel Tunstall are having a decided effect on the situations here. They sat isfy the prohibitionists of a dry dele gation. There is no question but that the prohibition question has been much abused in this campaign"
 Hugh Mallory, Selma-''This should and will mean a dry delegation. I have noticed no interest to this feature, be- cause know Senator Underwood meant what he said, but if there are any who have attached interest to the question of the dryness of the Alabama delega tion the statements and agreement will remove that interest. Underwood is an outstanding American and will win overwhelmingly if nominated"

 Hearing

WASHI NGTON. Feb. S.-Discussion of the proposed Alameda base on San Francisco Bay was sidetracked today before the House naval committee when Representative O'Connor. democrat, Louisiana. questioned Rear Admiral Eberle. chief of naval operations to as certain why the navy department de- sired to develop the Pacific and North Atlantic coast and leave practically undefended the coast line from Charleston. S. C.. to the Rio Grande.
 Mir. OConnor said he did not believe the navy had pursued q .'nationalistic policy.
 Admiral Eberle replied that the South Atlantic had not been neglected pointing out that Pensacola was the largest air station. He added there were no deep water harbors south of Charleston suitable for navy yards.
 Would Attack Canal
 Mr. OConnor asked. where in the event of var an engagement in the Atlantic probably would occur. Admiral Eberle answered he thought it would be near the West IndieS
 As to the Pacific. the admiral said he believed Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, would be attacked first and that the enemy then would attempt to secure the Panama Canal.
 Mr. 0'Connor said he felt that the defense of the South Atlantic coast should be developed more thoroughly, asking how the navy proposed to pro tcct the Gulf ports.
 Admiral Eberle said the fleet would give this protection. adding that large hattleships would he prevented from taking part in q gulf attack because of the shallow water

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-A letter criticising certain. subordinate officials of the department of agriculture for an attitude which was said to be obstruct- ing the co-operatice marketing move ment in the United States was sent to Secretary Wallace today by the execu- tive committed of the national council of Farmers Co-operatice Marketing as- sociation. ss4
 The letter was not made pub lie. but was said to criticize by name certain officials of the department.
 Members of the executive committee made it plain that their attack was not directed in any way to either Secretary Wallace or the administration. pointing out that both President Coolidge and the Secretary had strongly indorsed the movement. z ' The Secretary declared in his address that criticism of the department most of which, he said, was unjust came not only from farmers who believed the department was not sympathetic enough with the co-operatice plan but from mid dlemen and others wIo. censured the department because it was spending the taxpayers money. to wipe out their own business. .l...sA

holes in the wood present fascinat-
ingly realistic appearance.
A delightful little French set Of
cherry wood consists of two chairs,
with cane seats, a cane backed ber-
gere, and a round table. The frame
of the table is of cherry, with two
cross pieces and center medallion
in the top, the remainder being filled
in with cane work. There is a round
plate glass cover. For the seats Of
the chairs and bergere, cushions have
been made of an exquisite brocade, in
mauve, sage green, ivory, and terra
Gotta, on French blue ground In
the chair backs, insets in oval pieces
are of carved wood, showing baskets
filled with flowers. These are poly
chromed in the colors of the brocade.
Similar to the English carved wal
nut screen is one which has been cop
led from q French piece. The elabo-
rately carved wood has been gilded,
and instead of crimson velour the
backing is of mirror. In the center of
each section is a panel over which
Du Barry rose silk damask has been
stretched. The mirrored background
is quite misleading. especially if the
screen be placed before an open door,
as one is almost sure to think lat first
glance, that he is seeing through the
intricate lace work of the carved
wood into the room beyond.
Among the occasional pieces are all
sorts of odd tables. A delicate Flor
entine tea table has richly / inted
top, with a slightly raised edge and
finger holes in each end. This top
lifts off as tray, disclosing plain
under top.
About the most popular tables are
those which are known as cocktail
tables. Many of these are made of
old English prints, framed under glass.
and set on to small table frames.
These offer a diversion from the or
binary glass topped table, because
they furnish n distinctive color note.
which is protected from liquid stains,
even of the strongest sort, by its
glass cover.
In these days of the nah jong rage,
highly decorative Chinese pieces have
jumped into sudden favor. One which
is especially popular is red lacquer
ed tea table figured in raised gold,
ivory and black. Wonderfully stun
ming, too, is a Chinese temple hang
ing. 1t displays large dragons, en-
broidered in gold. with peculiar green
glass eyes on a deep red ground.

Electricity Performs Service.
Bathrooms electrified are just one
phase of modern progressive home
building. Builders and manufactur-
ers seem to be banded together in
plan TO make every man, woman
and child in these United States
happy and comfortable in a home
where culture and beauty and ma
terial comfort are each possible to
all. Comfort is no longer, says the
builder and the architect, the prerog-
alive of the home OF wealth; it is
found possible by means OF the
right equipment to give comfort
along with economy in home admin
istration. Electricity performs the
same services that in earlier times
required the labor Of many maids
and man servants.

DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES

Furniture stores all over the coun-
try are emphasizing more and more
their departments OF interior decora-
ton and decorative accessories. They
seem to realize that whereas When
people buy furniture that is merely
essential they spend large sums of
money, and that furniture. serves foe
years, while decorative pieces and
accessories are continually being add.
ed to or replaced.
Some eastern firm specialize in
making facsimilies of antiques. They
reproduce whole rooms as well as in
dividual pieces. An unusually lovely
model is done in the Spanish style.
Walls are made to represent Kean
stone, laid on in irregular fashion
so much more interesting than the
regulation block cut stone frequently
seen.
A fascinating niche has been built
into the wall. The background is
painted powder blue. and the edge is
outlined with gold color. In the niche
is placed a tall gray glazed vase, filled
with pussywillow. From behind it an
exquisite piece of gold colored damask
is draped, falling to the floor in de-
lightful folds which produce glorious
lights and mysterious shadows. -
At one end of the room stands a re-
plica of an old Spanish screen. This IL
three leafed, of leather, fastened to the
frame with closely set dull brass studs.
The leather is decorated with dark
rich coIored paintings of Spanish
street scenes. Wrought iron sconces
have electric candle lights. Instead
of curtains at the two windows. there
ode intricately patterned wrought iron
grills. The furniture is severely
Spanish. One or two chairs are up
holstered in old tapestry. III.
Another model has been copied from
the living room of an old English
manor. The walls are of walnut.
