Washington, Jan. 1s.-While de- lending Edwin Denby, as secretary of the navy, a republican minority of the senate oil committee, in re- port filed yesterday. condemns Albert E. Fall, as secretary of the interior, for accepting loan of s100,000 and other favors from Edward L. De- heney, California oil magnate, to whom California naval oil reserve was leased.
 The report, signed by Senators Smooth of Utah, Stanfeld of Oregon, Bursum of New Mexico, Cameron Of Arizona and Spencer of Missouri, was submitted by the last named senator so it might be before the senate prior to the calling up for adoption next week of the majority report, submitted at the last session by Sen- ator Walsh, democrat, Montana, prosecutor in the oil inquiry,

 The disputed interpretation of statutes is properly before the courts for judicial determination and nothing in the record in the least affects the integrity and pa triotic devotion to duty and high character Of Secretary Denby."

 With further reference to the s100,000 loan to Fall, the report said:

 The minority asserted that the ex- tended investigation into reports of oil stock dealings by public officials and of rumors that the appointment of Secretary Fall had resulted from a conspiracy" entered Into before the 1920 republican convention had "nroduced an impression in the country concerning the investigatory inclinstions of the senate that was exceedingly unfortunate and one which neither the senate nor the country is likely soon to forget"

 "The minority are firm in the be- lief that the executive order saved millions to the government and has resulted in conserving in the ground far more oil than would have re- mained but for the leases."'
 The senators rejected as unsup- ported what they characterized as the repeated ipferences from the majority members of the committee that the navy and interior depart ments exercised undue secrecy with respect to the leases.

When Should Furniture Be
 Replaced?

EURNITURE rarely be- I comes useless. While a chair has four legs it is still a chair. It will satisfy the material needs of people for an indefinite time. But there are many other s things that help to determine the time to replace old fur niture with new. Pride in ones home is the frst-to make it the equal of others in your own station in life. The next is comfort. While people may live happily and in good health with furni- tlre that is only moderately comfortable, the addition of newer and more comfortable pieces makes home a more desirable place.
 A hon1e-keeper not only de- sires the commendation of her friends, but she wants her own family to think that home is the best place in the world. Adding new piece here and there has the attrac- tion of novelty. Sometimes the refurnishing of a single room adds luster to the en- tire home.
 And so furniture should be replaced not upon the time that it has been in use, but in it's capability of making home a better place to live, Therefore, most any time is the time to replace furniture. C. (. FULLER & CO.
