made to keep the show on high
plane and exhibitors who are accus-
toned to placing their various COM

CURTAIN MATERIAL

Heavier Goods Held Best as Design

Light.

If you buy chintz or cretonne or any
other figured material for window
curtains. always hold 1t up against
the light before making your selec-
ton. This is to see how it will really
look when it is at your windows
For although most of 1t will be over
the wooden frames and the plaster
wallis, still some of it will hang over
the glass, and the light will shine
behind 1t. If the material Is thin,
this light spoils the effect Of the
pattern.
Some Of the new chintzes are made
double-faced-that Is, the pattern
goes through the fabric so that there
is no right and wrong to it. And
these fabrics are thick enough SO that
the light does not shine through.
If you wish to choose one Of the
thin fabrics, then by all means line
the curtains. A good quality of sateen
is the best thing. This makes the
fabric Opaque. Choose a gray or
cream or yellow tone, preferably, for
the lining-something that harmo-
niZes with the chintZ.

 No specific sum is demanded by the plaintiffs, but they demand an accounting of profits on all of the alleged patented devices sold by the defendant and ask the court 10 assess damages accordingly. The case is being tried without a jury and will likely occupy the entire week
 Tn addition to the accounting of profits, a perpetual injunction is sought to restrain further manu- facture and sale Of the tuning de- vice by the Splitdorf company.

The latter firm li- censed the Radio Corporation O. America to make and sell the in- vention. It is charged that Split dorf radio receiver type R-50o em- bodies the patented device.
 j The Splitdorf company on the
