i the industry believe They say
that it will typify the goth century
as Chippendale stands for the 18th

century lust past.
Notifications Arc Necessary
i That notifications will be ncces-
sary, however before the new
style is generally accepted. is the
general belief. The new designs
are available in beautiful expensive
pieces-ivory ebony imported, ze-
brawood and satinwood. and in

signs have been created from woods
(which will have popular price
appeal gumwood, sapwood, pop
/ lar and walnut veneers.
The new mode in furniture is
based on some of the same prn-
ciples which the impressionist
painters use in their canvasses. The
style was evolved ut an internation-
| al exhibition in Paris in 1925. At
this exposition. il was required that
all pieces shown he entirely new
creations. containing no elements
ever used before.
Some beautiful furniture. and
some monstrous. inartStic nom

Americas leading designers have
taken the best of the new style and
subjected it to the supreme test of
good furniture: Is it comfortable
Then they have adapted it so that
ii bids fair to become the craze in
the finest homes.
Those who favor the rev style
say hat it has beauty ana comfort
that Old furniture does not: that il
has no dust catchers as motifs
They add that French furniture
was made for ornamentation. Brit
ish furniture for durability. and that
Americas newest designs combine
these two essentials with comfort.
Those who are opposed to 1t say
that 1t is grotesque and freaky, that
many of the pieces lack artistry
That some of these contentious are
true can not be denied. hut furni-

Two people We're very much puz-
!, zlcd. Indeed they We're! 1t is Il ques-
ton which was the most puzzled.
! Reddy Fox was puzzled by the prob
lem of catching Rusty the Fox
Squirrel. Rusty was in an old hole
. of Johnny Chuck's but there was
back door as well as front door
to that hole. Ii Reddy should dig in
by the front way Rusty could run
out the back door and escape. If he
i should try to get in by the back way
/ Rusty could escape through the front
door.
4 On his part Rusty was puzzled. He
+ couldn't tell at which door Reddy
+ Fox was watching. Ii he should poke
! his head out at either door he
I might poke it right into the jaws OF
Reddy Fox. How was he to get out
Z of that house and still escape Reddy
! Fox? He couldn't stay there in
! definitely. In fact. didn't like the
I. idea of staying there at night. Rusty
Z is in the habit OF sleeping at night.
He is afraid to be abroad in the
: dark, for he cannot see well enough.
II he should stay there until dark
Reddy Fox might creep in and sur
/, prise him without his knowing any
thing about it until he was caught.
Reddy sat down to think things
! Ger. He knows Squirrels and their
9 ways. He knew that Rusty would
not be content to stay very long in
hole in the ground. A hole in
+. tree would be a very different mat
ter, or even a hole in log. But
Rusty isn't naturally a ground loving
7. animal. and Keddy knew this.
n He'll come out OF there just as
7 soon as he thinks he has chance.
: thought Reddy. THE trouble is, he
won't know when he has the chance.
He doesn't dare poke his head out,
(. for he doesn't know at which hole
I ! will be waiting. / must Try some
trick TO get him out. The thing for

NO REVIEW

The U. 8. Supreme Court Is set
in its ways. 1t would be a peculiar
court II it gave a decision one week
and was induced to change it's mind
few months later. 1t is not surpris-
ing. therefore, that 1t has refused to
review its former five to four deci-
sion that evidence obtained by wire
tapping is legitimate.
At the time the overlapping de-
cision was given the majority Of the
court held that it was merely in
terpreting the law. and that If there
was any considerable disappointment
at the decision the way lay open to
change the law through act of Con-
gress. That sounds fair.
1t is held by the defendants that
such evidence forces them to give
evidence against themselves. That
may be true enough, but in a sense
this is done every time the police or
prosecuting attorneys get hold of a
letter or document written by de-
PENDANT and use it IN court against
him. Detectives have been known. In
fact. to gain access to such evidence
by dubious means.
1t may be argued. and we think
with force, that when a detective or
his shorthand assistant listen in on a
telephone conversation there may be
| errors made In transcribing the
words thus taken down. Abuse and
injustice might thus creep into the
procedure.
| It should be one of the duties Of
Congress to chaneg the law relating
! to such evidence.

CONVICT LABOR

In Congress there is pending the
Hawes-Cooper bill, which would
abolish prison convict labor con-
tracts between states. Connecticut
again is aroused; at least, official
dom is aroused. Some others merely
smoker.
Opposition to convict labor con-
tracts comes from two powerful
surces: Labor and capital That is a
hard combination to beat.
Labor opposes. the system because
convcts at work at gainful employ
ment In the manufacture of goods
marketed by contractors compete
with free labor.
Capital opposes the system be-
cause such contractors unfairly COM
pete with similar goods made in
factories.
1t is not question as to occupying
the time of convicts. This can be
done without putting them to work
upon goods sold in the open market
in competitor with laborers and in
dustsialists. say the proponents OF
rle Hawes-Cooper bill.
Connecticut, however, enjoys a
rake-off from prison labor. The con-
tractors pay the state for the
privilege of utilizing convict labor
This. in sense. puts the state in
business, and does SO in a most OBJ
jectionable form-by competing with
private industries and free laborers
1t is serious question. We pre-.
fer to think at this time thai
morality and right Is on the side o
the proponents Of the Hawes- Cooper
bill. So far the chief argument o
off1cialdom has been that the stat.
stands to lose money if prison mad
goods are prevented from interstate
commerce.
