able substitutes.
The color Of the walls and wood
work of room provide the back
ground or setting" for the furnish
ings. If the background is not
right, no matter how welLselected
or how good in quality the furnish
ings may be, they will never show
to advantage.
Colors also have decided in
fluence or temperament, and the
colors of home surroundings can
never be too carefully planned.
The selection of the proper wall
color depends on the exposure and
size Of the room and the type of
furnishings to be used. Small
rooms demand light wall colors.
Rooms with northern and eastern
exposure demand warm, sunshiny
walls. and southern or western ones
cool, interchangeable. Harmony be.
tween the walls of adjoining rooms
is also essential.
woodwork is highly important
part of the background, and the
wrong woodwork can utterly spoil
the effect of a room. There are
many new and delightful natural
wood finishes which give distinct
Ion to modern furnishing plans,
and many delightful new enamel
colors have been discovered which
offer a practical and pleasing
change from the overworked worries
and creams.

approaches 100000 and Atlantic
City is fully capable of handling
such crowds. It~has been the hap
by ability of Atlantic City's 1900
hotels TO meet whatever pressure
may arise. And the extraordinary
railroad schedules of the Reading
and Pennsylvania have so expedited
travel that Atlantic City has been
able with justice to boast of the
fastest and most convenient rail
road service accorded any resort in
the world.
Special Schedules.
In anticipation of the largest Eas-
ter period crowd in the history of
Atlantic City, the railroads have
announced special schedule of ex-
ira trains extending from a few
days before Palm Sunday to lew
days after Easter Sunday. The reg
ular trains to and from the resort
will be run in sections. In num-
Der of instances, special Easter ex-
cursions will be run with the CO.
operation of other railroads, giving
visitors at excursion rates an OPP
portunity to come to the Boardwalk
at the time of its most brilliant
Spring spectacle.
Atlantic City this year will be
particularly notable for the bril-
lance of its pageantry. Its famous
September Beauty Contest will
bring forward a spectacle unique
to the Boardwalk. Its gathering in
June of scores of thousands of
Shriners from all over the country
will present another colorful scene.

Virtually all the side avenue ho-

1t is also a recognized truth that
a piece of property practically re-
ceives a guarantee of it's soundness
when it passes throuh the hands
and ownership of a reliable opera
tor. The investor knows, or should
know, that he cannot go very far
wrong if he acquires a piece of
property which was considered
good enough by one of the eXper-

This is the age of specialization,
and in the real estate field the spec

Developers do not buy blindfoldly.
They are not gamblers. Most of
them are not even spectators.
They leave nothing to guesswork.

unnatural, in fact, criminal when union leaders
pursue the line. And this is exactly what
Lewis and his henchmen have been doing.
Despite, however, the criminal negligence of the
Lewis machine to organize the unorganized miners,
sentiment for organization among the southern min
is very strong So much that the first earnest
effort to organize them will inevitably produce spen
did results. And this is the time when such action
is most urgently needed. All efforts of the union
must be devoted towards that end It is only by
striking the southern coal mines along with the
others that national bituminous coal strike will
become a reality And it is only through a national
bitumnous strike that the miners will win
THAT conditions in the south are over-ripe for
successful union organization be also
from the attitude of the southern church. When
prominent dgnitaries of the Episcopal and Metho-
dist churches Of the south feel compelled to appeal
TO the capitalists for "better" relations with labor
and for industrial peace in order to avoid the waste
and bitterness of industrial conflict" this is
sign of restlessness among the workers and of their
becoming ready TO assert themselves against the
capitalists in effective way. For it isn't the mis-
cry of the workers that is worrying the church dig
nitaries but the approach of struggle against this
misery by the working masses themselves

NOTES
NSPRING 1ABLOlD'

THE rapid industriazation of the south is
doubtedly of the major developments in post
American capitalism This development is hav-
ing farreachng effects not only upon the south but
upon the country whole. And yet the American
labor movement has hardly begun to realize the
meaning and significance of these developments for
the working class of the United States.
Not so with the American capitalists. They are
fully awake to the possibilities of the situation from
the point of view of strengthening capitalism and
weakening the labor movement And they are MAX
ing ample of these possibilities is in the
coal strike situation and in many factors of
importance.
Discussing the present coal mining situation the
capitalist press is deriving good deal Of comfort
from the fact that the unonzed coal has stead
lily contracted while the non-union area has expand
ed. The opening up of coal mines in the south and
the intensive development of the industry there
bound to affect very seriously the condition of the
mine workers union. But it is primarily the failure
of the Lewis administration to concentrate on or
ganizng these fields that is responsible for the
fact that the shifting of coal mining to the south
has worked altogether to the interests Of the capital
lists and against the workers. Because it does not
at all follow that coal mining in the south must
main a non-union industry. That the coal barons
banking upon these fields remaining nom
union and doing all in their power to resist
unionzation, is quite natural But it is altogether

ministers representing every section of the south.
The appeal calls for "friendly" cooperation of en-
ployers employees, churches, educators and state
officials ito improve social and economic conditions
of southern industry" The things to be improved,
according to the appeal the isolation of popu-
lation in the mill village; the long working week,
extending in many industries to fifty-five and
sixty hours; certain amount of the seven-day week.
which still exists in industries; the employment
of women, and children between Ia and 16 at over
long periods Of labor; low wage standards in some
industries with consequent depressed standards of
living and the general absence of labor represen-
tation in the factories.
THESE are the damnabIe conditions in the south
which the church is forced to recognize and
speak about because of the approaching danger" of
industrial conflict But this nothing to Lewis

AUTO RECIPROCITY
RULING IS SOUGHT
Traffic Officials Puzzled Over
Permit Issue With
Maryland.

A question as to whether the Dis
trict, under it's automobile recipro-
city relations with Maryla nd, is re
uuired to extend to motorists of that
State the privilege of operating in the
District, cars displaying District Ii
cense tags, was submitted today to
the corporation cOunsel's office for a
legal opinion.
The question has been puzzling Dis
trict traffic officials since Maryland
amended it's traffic code so as to per-
nit motorists from other Jurisdictions
with which it has reciprocal agree
ments. to operate vehicles in Maryland
bearing the States license tags.
Traffic officials feel that in view
of the privilege that Maryland now
extends to District drivers the Dis
trict should reciprOcate. Police Court
Judge John 2. Mcmahon last week,
however. convicted a Maryland resi-
dent who was arrested while driving
a machine displaying a District license
tag. He held in his decision that the
District traffic act. interpreted to the
letter. required that motorists driving
cars carrying District tags should
have a District drivers permit.
Inspector T.. w. Brown. in charge
of the Traffic Bureau, and other traffic
authorities believe that under reci-
procity agreement with Maryland the
District should extend to motorists
from that State the same privileges
which it extends to District drivers
and for this rea son asked the corpora
ton counsePs office for an opinion.
