Arrange Furniture for
Comfort and Coziness

The COzy nOOk-may it ever be as
popular as it is today. Indications are,
however, that 1t will continue to grow
into greater popularity because more
and more things are being made which
can be used to create more comfort and
cOziness for cOzy hooks, several of
which should be in every home. A liv-
ing room should boast of two or three
or more, according to its size; each
bedroom ought to have one, and the
sun porch one or two.
OF course, says the Kansas City Star,
a good grouping in the prime requisite
Of the cOzy nook, and In the living room
the largest and most important group
Is a fireplace. Then the smaller groups
should be subordinate to, but just as
attractive as the larger one.
For the living room so small that
there is not enough space for a daven-
port even, cOziness has to be achieved
with groupings Of armchairs, one group
on one side OF the narrow room and
the other group on the other side. A
big wing chair with a grandfatherly ap-
pearance may serve as the nucleus OF
a charming group. Aided by a little,
old-fashiOned table and reading lamp,
with a generously propOrtiOned shade,
the effect OF cozlness Is accomplished.
A much better reading light is always
to be had from a spreading shade than
from one Of straight cylindrical or mar
row oval shape.

iron Rust Drives Fish
From RiUer in Siberia

Can you imagine a river that gets
rusty? There is one which is subject
to this phenOmenOn-the River Oh,
which falls into the Arctic ocean and
runs through the north Of Siberia.
The Oh contains a great amount Of
iron. Every year when it freezes over
the iron is cut off from the air The
result is that the metal precipitates
or, In other words, instead of being
dissolved in the water, becomes
solid.
The whole underside of the ice is
covered thickly with rust, and even
the fish and other creatures become
rusty. In the lower reaches, where
ice does not form, the water, Ordi-
narily quite clear, becomes cloudy and
discOlOred.- The whole river, 2,300
miles long, becomes poisonous.
People living near it have to quench
their thirst with melted snow, and
most of the fish leave the river and
seek safety in the sea. They are told
by instinct when the time arrives for
their annual exodus.
In the spring the ice thaws and the
air renders the river free from poison.
| The fish Immediately return. They
swim up the stream in such vast mum
bers that they are packed tightly TO
gether. Any boat that tries to navi
gate the river at this time forces thou
sands Of fish onto the fiat banks
where the natives kill them witt

WEATHER FORECASTS
 NEED REPORTS FROM
 DISTANT CONTINENTS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. G. located probably ill America and Asia, and accurate recording of the suns changes of radiation over a pc riod of years will be necessary, in the opinion of Dr. c. c. Abbot, assis- tant secretary of the Smithsonian In stitution and director of it's astro- physical observatory. to determine the exact extent to which weather depends upon solar changes.
 The suns heat, Dr. Abbot believes, governs the earth's temperature and railfall, and a change in it must mod fly these The astrophysical obser- vatory began with the problem in 1902, commencing to observe solar radiation in Washington but the i'm pure atmosphere here necessitated it's removal. The institution now maintains observing stations at Mt. Harqua Hala, in Arizona, which has been continuously occupied since De- tober 1920, and on Mount Montezu- ma, nearly 10000 feet high and about 12 miles from Calama, in the nj trate desert of Chile.
 Two additional first-rate stations are desirable, Dr. Abbot believes, at we'll separated points in cloudless re gions, where winter observations might be more favorable. Due to lack of funds at the present time, the Smithsonian Institution is unable to undertake this program. Before se- lecting sites for the proposed new solar observing stations, Dr. Abbot thinks $5,000 would be needed to make preliminary survey. For each new station it would require from $10,OOO to $15,OOO for original install lation, and from sS,O0O to $12,OO0 an- nually for continuous operation, de- pending on location.
 Pointing out that during the past two and a half years, on the whole, the solar heat appears to have been continuously below normal, Dr. Ab- bot said that of late months the tendency to rise has become appar- ent so that it seems likely that higher values soon will prevail again.
 During the past year the institu- tion has received from it's Arizona and Chile stations each day a re port of solar observations of the day preceding. These have been made the basis of forecasts for the temperature of New York City for several days in advance. Mathemat- ical methods, Dr. Abbot said, show that these forecasts indicate some degree of real provision, based on the solar observations, even to five day in advance" A continuation of this work is intended.

Warfare Declared by Actors
 Upon Managers of Berlin

BERLIN, Apr. GA group of about 100 prominent actors and singers of the Berlin stage have signed an agreement not to enter into con- tract with any theater whose man. agement adheres to a plan recently framed by the managerial associa- tion, which divides all actors and singers into four categories and stip- ulates the maximum salary which those in each category shall receive.
 Stage folk say they will not be ar bitrarily branded as first, second, third and fourth class, according to the whim of managers, and insist that it is an insult to the profession to try to rob actors of all individu- ality and herd them together as if they were merchandise.
 When the managers announced their new plan they explained that many artists were demanding such high salaries it was impossible for them to meet their terms without increasing the price of seats to a point where the pubic would refuse to pay.

LONDON, Apr 6.-Lovers of gray old London loll by their firesides these dreary days and bewail the way the city changes, and always they think, for the worst. Where is it all going to end, this tearing down of precious piles of blackened stone, stepped in traditions, to make way for heaven only knows what?
 It was bad enough when they wrecked almost every vestige of Nashs comedy rows of stucco build ings in Regent Street last year. It was lamentable the other day when Piccadilly Circus was robbed of the blithesome bronze statue of Eros, and the weather-beaten "flowergirls" who sat at his feet were shooed away. But now they say the grace full arches of Waterloo bridge, far and away the most beautiful of the structures that span the tidal river

 The lamentations over Rennie's masterly bridge, with its nine arches crossing the Thames from Somerset House toward Waterloo Station, are more serious. When one of the cen tral piers and arches began sagging some time ago, it was thought that the bridge would merely have to be taken down stone by stone ard then re-erected, after strenthenin;3 the piles. But now the experts who con- ducted long diagnosis Of the bridges weaknesses, say such pro- cess won't serve at all. They want to do away with the nine arches that for so long have reared themselves over passing pedestrians, tramways, automobiles, puffing tugs and barges. and put up an entirely new bridge, with only five arches, and much wid CT than Waterloo that gives it the appearance of a dark ribbon spread across the flowing Thames on top of beautiful arches.

Bad Roads To

Office department in it's rural SER

Fourth Assistant postmaster Gen

A statement OF the governments
position in this manner reads g
follows:
"Ultimatum is given by General
Billany that where rural carriers
or postmasters are unsuccessful in
obtaining the prompt improve
ment of these bad road stretches,
that the offending portion of the

is better that a few patrons be in
commoded than that the deliveries
Of the majority of patrons be de-
layed three or four hours daily on
account of the undue amount of
time consumed on the bad road sec

"To prove that the department
means business, General Billany
announces that some routes where
bad roads have hindered for some
time have already been abbreviat-
ed in the interest of the majority
of the patrons on them.
use of the automobile on rural
routes the year around with the
result of speeding up service on all
routes is the object of General Bill

will be applauded by all rural car
riers.
"It is pointed out that the ma
iority of the bad road stretches re
ferred to are only from two to
