Commissioners Explain Incl

brought Query to McCarI.

The District Commissioners advised
Controller General McCarl yesterday
afternoon that the new steel curtain

torium Is absolutely safe. The cur.
tain fell during its installation some
time ago and inspired S. Duncan Brad.
ley Of the Western High School Home
and School Association to write the
controller general as to it's safety. Mr..
Bradley also propounded a series of
questions relating to the appropria-
lions for the new Western addition,
which the Commissioners answered in
their reply to McCarl.
The heavy steel curtain crashed to
the stage While installation was in
progress, the Commissioners told the
controller general.

IT was raised to a height Of about
three feet and then released, they said.

It failed to function and permitted the
curtain to drop to the floor of the

plain. No trouble has been expert
enced in the operation of the cur

mits are noted in the September re-
port of H. Findlay French, director of

alton Of Comerce.
Declaring that 159 dwelling house
permits issued during the month are
the smallest number since January,
1922, the report points out that the
value of apartment-house permits for
the first nine months Of this year in
creased approximately $1,00O,000. The
value of dwelling-house permits for
the same period declined about 5,00O,-
600, the report shows.
"The decrease in house building was
more than offset by large-scale pro-
jects in other lines" the report con-
tinues. 1T is believed the total value
OF building for the year will average
close to the high records Of 1924 and

Homes Nicely Furnished at Little Cost
By Painting Furniture; Process Is Easy

You can buy the most interesting
pieces Of unpainted furniture nova
days in the shops, and then, of course,
you can paint them yourself.
1t is not particularly easy to make
a good job Of this painting. On the
other hand, it is not really difficult if
you are willing to pay attention to
the work in hand.
The most particular thing Is to fol-
low the directions that come with each
kind of paint. Don't try to thin with
turpentine a paint that calls for ba-
mana oil, If there Is such a thing.
Don't try to put a second coat of paint
on in 10 hours when the can recon-
mends waiting "a hours. Don't try to
paint over dirt spots when the direc-
tions say that the object to be painted
must be absolutely clean. And so on.
Follow the rules.
Really, there are such attractive
kinds Of paint now to be had in every
size container that you can work out
beautiful color schemes without diff
Guilty.
Attractive Stains.
And the unpainted furniture itself
is so very attractive. You can buy
sets Of four chairs and drop-leaf table
for the dinette or dining alcove for
prices ranging from perhaps $40 up.
You can also buy a small buffet to go
with these sets. And so for a moder
ate sum you can have very attrac-
tive dining set for the small apart
ment or house at a far lower price
than you could get in any other way.
You can use enamel or stain for
such a set.
Then you can buy all sorts of
kitchen things unpainted, and these
you can enamel white-stools, STEP
ladders, chairs, tables, towel racks,
shelves Of all sorts.
There are also incidental living
room pieces that can be made most

attractive with careful painting or
staining. There are end tables, so
convenient for placing at the side of
chair or end of divan to hold lamps,
books, smoking paraphernalia. And
then, dearest to the heart Of many
women, there are hanging book
shelves In the most charming shapes
aginable-narrow ones, not more
than six inches wide; corner ones.
wide ones. And all fitted with strong
and appropriate means for hanging
from molding or wall.
A satisfactory way OF staining a set
of table and chairs is to use fiat
stain in any tone you wish. Dark oak
or walnut works out very well. The
unpainted wood usually absorbs the
stain very readily and sometimes al
most too fast. So have at hand an
old cloth with which you can rub off
any superfiuity of color after you
have applied it. Indeed, you can go
over the whole surface of your chair
or table after applying each brushful
with the soft cloth to absorb extra
color and keep the paint even and
light.
You may wish to put on two coats

FlRE-STOPPED WALLlNG
CUTS HAZARD OF FLAME
Hollow Spaces Afford Avenue for
Blaze to Spread Upward in
Destruction.

One Of the most useful safeguards
against fire hazards in dwelling con.
struction is the f1re.stopping Of walls,
partitions and floors. Fire tends to
spread upward. Hollow walls and par
titions, hollow spaces back Of furring
on masonry walls. and even hollow
floors offer inviting runways for the
rapid communication Of fire from cell
lar to attic and from side to side. The
remedy lies in adequate f1re-stopping,
which will make an all-lumber resi-,
dence considerably safer against the
spread of fire than masonry wall and
lumber floor construction without fire
stops,

Of color, rubbing it off as you go
along. In this way you can get de-
lightfully soft and yet dark surface.
If then you wish a gloss finish, buy
q good quality varnish and go evenly
and lightly over each piece Of furni
ture after the oil stain has dried in
for at least "a hours. The result will
be decidedly interesting.

FIRST POLITICAL GUN
IS FIRED AT CASPER

At a meeting of the leaders of the
Republican party held in Casper last
week the likely candidates for the
leading offices were discussed and the
dates were set for the state conven-
ton late in May.
Reports coming to Cody indicate
that the political situation in the
state is beginning to ease down to
something like normal, and while
many names have been mentioned for
governor, it looks now as if there
may be but two likely candidates be-
fore the Casper Republican conven.
ton.
Frank E. Lucas, secretary of state,
is an avowed candidate. while it is
said that Frank Emerson. state en-
gineer, may be the other. This does
not mean, however. that there may
not be other candidates. While Mrs.
Ross, Democrat. has made no an
n~ouncement, it is taken for granted
that she will be the candidate on that
ticket.
For treasurer it appears there are
three candidates-W. H. Edelman of
Sheridan; A. d. Hoskins of KEN
merer, who served in that office
prior to the present administration,
and Harry Weston of Cheyenne. All
three are we'll known over the state
and represent different geographical
divisions.
For secretary of state on the Re-
publican ticket the name of John
S~tansbury of Douglas, attorney, who
has served in the state legislature,
is prominently mentioned, while L.
L. Newton of the Lander Journal is
also said to be a candidate. The
name of Frank Emerson has also
been linked with this office. Roy
Seney of Sheridan is also being men
toned for the Democratic nominal
ton. Mr.. Seney is now state budget
officer.
1t is understood that Mrs. Morton
will have no party opposition for re-
election as superintendent of public
instruction.
Vincent Carter has not decided
whether he will be a candidate for
reelection as state auditor. while
the names of A. L. Putnam, deputy
in that office, and Lysle Jay of Cas-
per are also being mentioned.
1t does not appear that Charles E.
Winter will have any party opposition
for reelection to congress, while it
is understood Leroy Laird may seek
the Democratic nomination.
A petition recently signed by all
the attorneys of Laramie county
asking that Charles N. Potter, Judge
of the state supreme court. be a can
didate for reelection, may result in
bringing the judge into the campaign
again. This is n non-partisan office.

New Silk Flag for
County Court Room

A few days ago Judge Metz or
dered a beautiful silk flag, with stan
dard, jointed pole and bronze eagle
for the end of the pole. for each of
the court rooms in the fifth judicial
district. The flags are of exception
ally fine quality with hand embroi-
dered stars, and will be n beautiful
addition to each of the court rooms
in the district.
The judge says that he believes ev-
cry court room should have n beau
tiful American flag TO render dignity
as well as solemnety to the court pro-
ceedings, and particularly for natur-
alization work. which takes place
twice n year in each OF the counties.
The flag will stand in its standard
~unfurled Mt the side of the bench in
each court room. Through a special
arrangement the judge has been able
TO secure these flags at wholesale
prices to each of the counties.
