Many Articles Deteriorate
 In Stock

"Nev lamps for old" is an economic plan vouched for only in the fairy tale 1t is, nevertheless. seemingly advocated by an occasional shopped who returns xoods-stockings, gloves. dress goods with the complaint that they just did not wear over night" and the demand that she be given, therefore, new goods for the old
 Sometimes the claim is unfounded sometimes not. Quite often the goods are brought back at once with the proof that they were not in good condition when bought; again. they are kept at home for a time, and of course there is no proof as to what kind of treatment they get in the interim.
 In any case the shipped might save herself possible argument and the trou- hle of returning the goods, If she had a knowledge of what goods are likely to deteriorate when kept for long. She would then take special precautions that such goods be fresh and new when she bought them. And she would know what goods could be safely bought ir quantities without fear of their dete- riorating when kept at home.
 Among the most difficult to keep of all goods are rubber products of every kind. for such goods deteriorate with great rapidity in heat and sunlight. Even the rubber heels you have put on sour shoes sometimes wear over' at once, because they have not been prop erly kept.
 All rubber goods should be kept in a cool dark place. If two pieces of rub Ter are likely to stick together, wlp" them as dry as you can. and dust them with talcum powder. If you use ker- osene to clean any rubber product such as a syringe-wash it of at once, for kerosene is apt to dissolve rubber.
 Silk goods especially when heavily weighted, are extremely subject to de, terioration. Some silks, notably spool silk, rot readily on account of the dye, too. Did you ever save pair of Christmas gift stockings over summer, only to have them split on the first wearing.
 Leather goods-gloves, shoes, luggage -al are subject to deterioration when kept over-long. The effect, especially noticeable in kid gloves, is usually one of hardening, and subsequent splitting. White leather gloves, such as Kid or chamois skin are likely to yellow with age, too, as are Wnlte hdtS ol Ndiiou kinds. And French ivory turns dis tinctly darker tone when kept long. Feathers are apt to gather moths, per fumes to change their color, tinsel to tarnish. Velvet becomes marked when kept in stock and handled frequently.
 These effects the shopper should un- derstand, are apparent even when the goods are not handled. Sometimes de terioration results when certain goods combs for instance-are merely Kept close enough together to rub against each other, and so to make surface scratches.
 The shoppers best plan, to protect herself along this line, is to buy such goods in shops where the trade is brisk enough to insure quick turnover ot stock.

Among Greatest.

Hepplewhite Is another magic
word so far as furniture Is con.
cerned; probably not quite as fasci-
mating as Chippendale or Sheraton.
George Hepplewhite's work became
popular somewhere between 1855
and 1775, and somes therefore under
the Georgian period.
Hepplewhite was never al thor
ough a classicist as the brothers
Adam or Sheraton. Hepplewhite
built, as well as designed. a large
amount Of furniture. though his
output was not as great as that Of
Chippendale. 1t marked, in q way,
the transition from the Chippendale
to the classic influence.
Hepplewhite is best known for
his shield back chairs, his square,
tapering legs, often ending in the
spade foot, and for his splendid
sideboards, which were developed
by Chippendale and brought to
perfection by Hepplewhite and
Shearer. Hepplewhite also made
wardrobes that supplanted the old
highboy. dressing tables with heart.
shaped mirrors. and cabinets with
long. tapering legs. His chairs were
mostly made with shield.shaped or
oval backs. and were distinguished
by their beauty of curve and pro-
portion. The seats were usually
upholstered.
Hepplewhite preferred mahogany
for most of his work, using satin.

Melons Penchant For
Tax Reduction Is
Inherited

ny C0smOpOut@m News service.
That Secretary of the Treas
ury Andrew w. Mellon has a
penchant for tax reduction is
no longer amazing. 1t is in his
blood.
The first Mellon to land on
these shores was Archibald, who
came early in the eighteenth
century. History says Of him
that he became dissatisfied
with the economic conditions in
Ireland, particularly in the in
stance of taxation, and, dispos-
ing Of his possessions, sailed to
America
That Mellon is so unswerv-
ingly opposed to the bonus
causes some conjecture, how
ever. There is erected in Pitts
burgh by the Mellon family q
monument to Alexander Neg
ley. He was a distinguished
soldier in the war Of the revo-
luton. He settled in Pittsburgh
and became a great 1andholder.
Because Of his services as a
soldier he is said by the Amer
lean Legion to have acquired as
a bonus the land in the heart
Of the city which became Of
vast value and was the early
basis of the Mellon fortune.
His granddaughter was MELONS
mother.

hotel to get that, so when we meas
ured the limited space usually re-
quired for radio shows in cities
many times larger than Washing
ton, and thus by comparison with
our immense Convention Hail, we
brought to a realization the thing
we were undertaking.
Every available foot of show
space has been taken up by the
Washington dealers and by radio
manufacturers. 1t was the original
plan Of the management to provide
a lounge or larger reception space
in the center of the main floor.
This was to be furnished lavishly,
but since the sold out sign has
gone up our plans will possibly
have to be modified somewhat to
accommodate the late corners and
their exhibits. There will, how
ever, be every consideration given
to the visitors and their comfort"
