PRIEST ARRESTED

PHILADELPHIA, February g.
With a quart of alleged whisky in
a copper-lined suit case and a tin
cup in his hand. the Rev. Edward
Marshall French. a former Episcopal
clergyman, now said to be a Catholic
priest, was arrested last night,
charged with illegal possession. sale

His arrest followed complaints by

Mr.. French formerly was rector Of
the Church of the Advent here, which
he was compelled to leave at the out
break of war with Germany because
of alleged radical views. According
to the police, he drifted to drink and
for a time was a familiar figure in
the tenderloin. Meeting with an au-
tomobile accident, he was persuaded
during his convalescence to give up
liquor, decided to become q Catholic
priest, entered seminary in New
York and later was ordained. He told
the police he was on his way to a
charge in Montana, had stopped off in
Philadelphia to have his teeth at.

SPANISH ANDITALIAN
FURNITURE IN VOGUE
As Interiors Become More Simple
Absence of Ornament Vital
to decoration.

1t is easy to understand the grow
ing demand for Spanish and Italian
furniture. Interiors are becoming
more and more simple and there is
something about a room furnished
after the Spanish manner that is eX-
traordinary restful-a sense of space,
a restraint and absence of useless or
nament that make for peace of mind.
Italian furniture, while frequently
elaborately carved and ornamented.
has this same restful quality. Its
lines are essentially simple and
straightforward and there is nothing
fiippant or restless about its solid dig
nifty. Because of this sincerity and
suggestion of permanence it is a hap
py' choice for many of our modern in
teriors.
The vogue for Spanish and Italian
architecture, says House and Garden.
has naturally created demand for
this type of furniture. Interest in
SIsnish decoration of all kinds has
tions being made of Spanish furniture
of the sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turIes. While differing from the Ital-
ian in some reSpectS-notabIyl IN the
use OF MOORISH decoration ana Hlucn
wrought iron work-the two styles
are so alike in feeling that they can
be combined successfully in the same
interior,
The Spaniards demanded plenty OF
room to move about in. Only such
pieces of furniture as were absolutely
necessary were used, with the result
that the room frequently presented an
aspect of baroness. almost of auster-
ity. Much the same holds true of
Italian interiors. This does not mean.
by any means, that the rooms were
lacking in interest On the contrary
rarely do we find such gorgeous fab
rics. splendid in both design and color.
such wealth of intricate and beau
tiful decoration on the furniture. Be
cause few pieces were used, care was
taken to make each piece a MASTER
piece and they became doubly con-
Spicuous because they were silhouet-
ted against a background severely
simple.

COAL CONSUMPTION
|SSH0WN IN TABLE
Many Factors and Conditions
Enter Into Fuel Es-
timati0ns.

To be able to estimate the probable
coal consumption of heating boiler
is certainly desirable, yet there are
so many conditions and factors to be
considered. many Of which are be-
yond the control of the owner or
attendant of the boiler, that 1t is al
most impossible to arrive at a reason
ably correct calculation.
Some of the conditions governing
the probable coal consumption are:
The character of the building to be
warmed; whether a residence, school,
factory or other type of building;
location of the building; whether
isolated or protected, and whether
located in a temperate or cold cIi-
mate; construction of the chimney
fue; height, area, etc: character and
build Of the boiler used, some having
greater eVaporating efficiency than
others; character Of the fuel used
and kind of attendance. The area or
size or the fue. and its height. to-
Sether with the kind of attendance
given the boiler, are probably the
most important factors to be con-
sidered.
One well known authority has stat
ed that one ton (2.240 pounds) of
coal per heating season of 200 days
Will pc required for each forty square
Ieet or steam, sixty square feet of
vacuum or vacuum -VapOr, or seventy
square feet of hot-water radiation.

coal consumption. compiled some
years ago. seems very conservative:

total valuation of building permits is
sued was only $2,574, ,77S,S71.
Roughly, two-thirds of the whole val
uation, as shown by the f. w. Dodge
Corporation study of the totals, is found
in permits issued in twenty cities. In
these twenty cities the money value Of
building permits issued in 1923 totaled
over four times the money value of per-
mtS issued in the same cities in 1914.
The enormous gain shown Is signih-
cant measure of national business pros

building indicated must be modified by
consideration that building costs in the
1914-1923 period have increased on an
average more than 90 per cent. accord

lowing the high records Of the preceding

part, by the mild weather conditions.

fort to overcome the usual winter

the months yet to come can show
such increases as January did over

this amazing winter revival. The
possibility of another spring reaction
