said that he did not think November

he in favor of July 4. In keeping out
of the controversy, he takes the stand
that as soon as the President and the
War Department agree upon a day
for the test the National Guard will
be ready to take part, and until such

of the broad Atlantic on this small

been successful in many wavs.

of the vessel After a lay-up of three
weeks, the vessel, in command of
Comdr. j. a. Schofield, will sail for
the West Indies on 30-day cruise,
touching the Virgin Islands, Haiti
and Cuba
While the Bureau of Operations of
the Navy Department has published
a list of vessels which will be in com
mission after July | for the next fiscal
year, and which shows that the Eagle,
No. Sc and the L. S. destroyer Allen
will be here for training reservists.
there seems to be possibility now
that the Allen might not be sent
here: and. if it is, it is probable that
Rhe Eagle will replace the gunboat
ship of the Maryland reserves.
1t seems that the Navy Department
is finding difficulty in locating suffi-
cient funds. estimated at $4,000. for
placing the vessel in commission.
Although the work has been planned.
it is now being held up on account
of these funds. 1t was pointed out
at the Navy Department that if the
odds and ends of moneys left over
from other appropriations are suffl-
cient the vessel will be commissioned,
but otherwise she will not be. Even
when the new appropriations become
available funds will not be taken to
commission her, 1t was said, but with

funds are not found from the odds

it will have to wait until the end of
next year. and SO on, with a prob

However, it was pointed out by
those in close touch with the situation
that when Secretary Wilbur ordered

Department found little difficulty in
getting together the necessary money
to put her in commission. And last

Increasing Use of Leather.

In making inquiries regarding
leather upholstery, we find that the
use of leather for chair and lounge
coverings is coming 'in" again. Or
perhaps a better choice of words
would be that its use is on the in
crease, for leather is never quite
"out" Men, in particular, are partial
to leather furniture. and this is
proved by its continued use in mems
clubs and hotels In the den, in the
lounge and in the library leather
never quite relinquishes it's well in
trenched position.
Nevertheless, some stores that have
had no call for leather for three
years except as strictly mems fur
niture," are remarking it's tendency to
find its way back to the living room.
The buyer for the interior decorating
department of one big firm is notic-
ing demand for leather in its deep.
rich, brown tones. Occasionally dis
eliminating shoppers, particularly
decorators, come looking for a green
or red leather chair to brighten up

Asked why it is that men are so
fond of leather furniture, fellow
who is always good at giving reasons
for things says 1t is because the leath-
er covering does not catch and
wrinkle their woolen clothes. Sounds
plausible. anyway.
There are many points in favor of
leather upholstery. One is that it is
easily cleaned, shedding the dust
which is so readily caught and i'm
bedded in the pile of many of the
fabrics. Another is its lasting quality,
and for that reason it Is we'll adapted
for homes in which there are chill
dren. Chairs that were upholstered
in the leather that was sold 20 or 80
years ago are still to be found in ex-
cellent condition. Perhaps as much

Special Center Pieces.
The centerpieces mentioned are
those that are particularly appropri-
ate to home meals. except where ar
rangemeuts are elaborate For in
stance, the cut flowers may be choice
and in such array that they would
grace an elaborate dinner table. The
console set could be handsomely ar
ranged for a function, and candles
with fruit or flowers lend themselves
to simple or elaborate meals. How
ever, il is when the decorations are
for special occasions that the home
maker has the opportunity to develop
and carry out unusual arrangements.

passed. St Valentines day. cal for

Porcelain Ornaments.
Porcelain ornaments are in vogue
for centerpieces today. They may be
used alone or be introduced into some
ornamental scheme. Gay parrots and
other birds of brilliant plumage may
be large enough to require no setting,
while smaller birds may add their
notes of color, If not of music, to en-
liven tables. We may not be able to
boast of Chelsea, Minton. Delft or
Wedgewood figures, etc, but we may
have interesting old animals or birds
in China among our heirlooms, or
some of the modern Czechoslovakian
wares so much in evidence today.
We may use these when we wish spe-
cial effects or touches of novelty
Some very lightweight birds may be
used to perch on rims of flower con-
tatners and bowls or to appear to
sway on foliage in centerpieces. Such
birds cost trifling sums.
Trend of Fashions.
When arranging a centerpiece for
a table. it is important to remember
that it should not intrude between
the visions of those about the table.
Nothing is much more annoying at
meal than to have to peer around
centerpiece in order to see some one
who is talking. The day of tall
centerpieces has passed, fortunately.
The fashion in centerpieces at present
has a decided trend toward gayety,
variety and grace in proportions.
Evening star., 1925-02-26

There are many phases of interior
decoration. Some Of these deal with
large matters, such as the wall treat
ments, floor coverings, furniture, etc,
and others concern minor affairs.
Centerpieces for dining tables are
among these latter considerations.
The omission of such table orna-
ments results in bare and uninterest-
ing tables, while the inclusion of
them. even though they may be sim
pie, adds decidedly to the attractive
ness of the entire dining room when
the meals are served.
The fact that centerpieceS are so
variable permits the nomemaker to
use many distinctive and novel ideas
to accord with the style of the occa-
sion For the regular home meals
towering plants, such as Chinese
lilies jonquils. etc, or even the plants
that are merely growing green, such
as low ferns. are all that is needed.
Cut flowers are always delightful,
whether for occasions or home af
fairs, but in Winter it is rather eX-
pensive to have them except for fes-
tivities. since they are so perishable.
There are many artificial flowers now
to be had that brighten up tables and
are modish. The one objection to
them is that they never alter their
appearance, uuSl anu
sometimes fade. Growing plants and
flowers vary from day TO day. They
are alive and interesting, apart from
their ornamental elements. To give
a semblance of reality, when substi-
tuting artificial for natural MOWERS,
Il is important for the housewife D
vary them by using different kinds
frequently and using only lfeIlke
limitations.
Arrangement of Candles.
\ lighted Candelabrum makes an
artistic centerpieCes. If the table is
not very large and the Candelabrum
has several branches, no other illu-
mination may be needed in the dining
room. If more light is required, sim
gle lighted candles should add their
glow at ends or corners of the table.
A console set of stemware, fruit
dish and candlestickS may be used
effectively as a central decoration for
a dining table. Arrange different
kinds OF fruit in the dish and have
the two or four candlesticks near,
with the candles lighted. When can
dies are used on a table and the light
is insufficient, any other light in the
room should be subdued or the effect

The smooth alder. the only kind

The long. gracefully pendant male
catkins, as they are appearing these

they will change to green and final

laden anthers hang free. The little
female catkins. however, do not droop
but stand erect, a ruddy brown.

however, is "a virtue, too. in alder

just for worry's sake, let us quote
two more sentences from DR.. Mohlers
observations:
''Degenerative changes that take
place in the body, when affecting the
structures involved in carbohydrate
metabolism, of necessity must impair
their efficiency and result in hyper
glycemia and glycosuria. Obesity
frequently favors the development of
sclerotic (degenerative) changes in
the body, which are capable of pro-
ducing an increase in the blood pres
sure and a diminished ability of the
body cells to utilize carbohydrate"
In other words, one can eat enough
to reduce ones capacity. Or, revers-
ing the rule, as Coranro expressed it
400 years ago, He who would eat
much must eat little" Let's walk
more so we can eat more.
