The former stormy petrol Of the
Army Air Corps has come out Of

covered his movements for some
time and has launched an attempt
20 have all aeronautical branches Of

Again, as in the famous days OF

attack upon those he claims are

Policy Has Failed
He claims that the Coolidge air
policy has collapsed.
General Mitchell says in the
article President Coolidge was
told Of the conditions that faced the

country. and. at first. It looked az
though he would assist in de-
veloping It in broad manner. But,
as Coolidge is q politician before
everything else, he determined that
he could get more Influence from
the large moneyed interests that
work hand-in-hand with the Navy
Department than he could from the
small and struggling group de.

Feared Officers
The flying general declared that
n was fear of the Influence u the
personnel Of the Army and Navy
service that prompted the President
to side with them and obey their
wishes. Mitchell termed the t'bally-
hoo given the appointment Of air
secretaries for each Of the three

He declared:

According to the plan proposed
by the former Army Air Service
head there should be a Secretary

would have charge of commercial
aviation, another military aviation,
and the third in charge of expert

Mitchell says that the Navy will
be sacked off the, map when It
faces airplanes. He doubts the sue

slams, it is too vulnerable to attack.

One of the choicest of all kinds of
furniture is that in which veneer APP
pears. This may consist Of inset pieces
of wood, thin layers of ivory, mother
of pearl, tortoise shell or metals, such
rs gold, silver, copper, etc. But with
the exception of veneer of wood other
terms are apt to be used as inlaid
furniture, buhl work, etc., rather than
veneered furniture.
1t is well to appreciate the merit and
worth of veneered furniture, for other
wise that called solid, such as solid ma
hogany, rosewood, ebony, walnut, etc,
may be estimated of greater value. This
Is not the case when veneer Is employed
as ornamentation, or because of the
rare beauty Of the sections. 1t is true
only when cheap wooden furniture is
overlaid with veneer to give an effect
of costliness in which case there is SO
little fine wood to so much poor that
the price can well be lower just as the
standard of the furniture is lower. 1t
is because of such use of veneer that
the term solid mahogany" and other
fine woods have gained prestige with
those unfamiliar with the significance
of the word and processes of veneering
The beauty OF veneered furniture
consists in the contrast of colors of
wood and in the marvellous effects in
granting brought out by the special way
in which the wood is cut. Various de-
scriptive names are given to effects
such as heart. crotch, branch. feather,
ETC. When the wood is sawed straight
through a tree trunk, the heart of the
wood makes circle, oval or similar

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, February 3.

After the early morning hours,
benefic aspects will be strong tomorrow,
according to astrology.
There is a favorable sign for those
who desire to make trips by land or air.
The sway is especially lucky for ayla-
tion.
Women are well directed under this
planetary government. which is sup
posed to impart energy and vivacity.
1t is happy rule for lovers, making
for the best possible impressions and
even encouraging the sort of deceit that
conceals every fault.
Entertaining of every sort is subject
to the best conditions. for the rule
makes for gayety and real friendliness.
Lovers should benefit to the extent
even of foreseeing the economic i'm
provemen5 that assures early marriage.
This is read as an suspicious rule
! under which to become engaged or
married.
All the influences are stimulating to
the finer sense of life and against all
that is material or even strictly prac-
tical.
Young folk will wear rose-colored
| glasses while this confguration pre-
walls, and they will benefit from high

A London astrologer again foretells
"a great and far reaching crisis" in the
| history of England.
| Persons whose birth date it is have
the forecast of a year in which there
may be pleasant travels. The young

BEAUTY OF WOOD BURLS

contour surrounded by rings clearly de-
fined.
Marvellous feathery effects are pro-
duced by different ways in which the
wood is sawed. Sharp crotches may
appear and contrasting colorS branch
off from sides of the boards or at an
giles. It is impossible to get similar
effects in wood that is not sawed to
bring them out When knots in wood
are sawed for veneering the wood is
called buried and is very choice. Wood
for veneering purposes cut in thin
sheets and glued to the foundation
wood cannot have the same beauty of
granting because the way the wood is
sawed for veneering necessitates its
coming in comparatively small pieces.
Furniture made of solid pieces of
wood cannot have the same beauty
found in veneered pieces, since the
framework of furniture takes large
boards, and wood sawed as described
can be had only in sections too small
or too delicate for substantial articles.
1t is easy to detect whether veneer is
used to overlay cheap wood or is en-
ployed for ornament. If the former,
the grain is not remarkable for its
beauty, and large pieces will be used.
This means that the price can be
less for veneered furniture than for
articles made of the same costly wood
used solid" If the veneer shows
beauty of granting and is used in COM
paratively small pieces covering sec
tons of furniture, or inset in contrast
ing wood. it Is used not to reduce cost,
but for beauty, and it will increase the
value of the articles.

count OF the ceremony says:
"Such a concourse never before was
seen in Washington, the number OF per-

the day, Notwithstanding the magnitude

Justice Marshall was announced by a

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

February 2, IS57.-President elect
Buchanan completed the business which
brought him to Washington today and
will leave tomorrow morning TO return
to his residence at Wheatland.
Although there have been all sorts
of rumors about the new cabinet, 1t is
understood on good authority that Mr..
Buchanan has made no final decisions
with regard to any member yet. Dur
ing his brief sojourn in this city he
has received visits from nearly every
prominent Democrat now in the Fed
eral metropolis and listened with frank
and cordial attention to whatever they
had to tell him concerning public men
and pubic affairs.
II this way Mr. Buchanan has OBJ
tanned much information concerning
the leaders of his party and the views
of his political friends In all sections
of the Union. A great deal of this in
formation will doubtless be Of material
service to him in the wise selection of
cabinet and the determination of the
fundamental policies of his administra-
ton, which will face many questions of
a delicate nature and of the deepest
Importance to the future of the
country.
The impression made by Mr.
Buchanan upon all who saw him here
was a happy one. His friends feel GER
tain that he will select men for his
cabinet who will carry out both the
letter and the spirit of the platform
adopted at the Cincinnati convention,
upon which he was elected
When President-elect Buchanan first
began to consider the question of his
cabinet, it is understood that he had
tentative list of some 100 Democratic
leaders in various parts of the country,
the propriety of whose selection he
thought it necessary to consider. Those
who have been close to him during his
visit here believe that he has now mar
rowed down that list to Is or 18 men
from whom he will choose his cabinet.
Plans are being completed for the
inaugural ceremonies, TO be held on
the 4th day of next month. Mr..
Buchanan expects to return to Wash
ington about February IS, and by that
time will probably be ready to an
nounce the names of the men who
will form his cabinet. Until that time
all would-be "cabinet-makers" may be
regarded as mere guessers.

This was the setting, as painted by
reporter Of that day, for the inaugu-
ration OF the sixth President of the
United States, John Quincy Adams, son
OF the second President, erstwhile Har-
ward rhetoretician and statesman ex-
traordinary.
The second of New Englands sons
to be chosen head of the Nation had
been trained in Statecraft for 81 years.
After four troublous years In the presi-
dency, he was to be commanding fig
ure IN congratulated but admired
by political adversaries for II more
years until his dramatic collapse In
harness, falling to the floor with
stroke of paralysis as he began a speech
IN the House of Representatives, Feb
ruary 10, 1848. Two days later death
ended his remarkable career.
Adams daily regime as an occupant
OF the White House called for a virility
rivaling that of the rough-riding Roose-
velt, modern exponent of the "strenu-
GUS life" On May J.. 1925, he wrote in
bis diary:

tiers of SCOTS Bible and Commentary;

lie papers from the several departments,

chamber, signing land grants or blank

last 10 days have brought up three
months arrears in my diary index"
An entry in the diary, made in July,
records that he rises from 4 to $50,
spends two hours swimming in the Po-
tomac, and then reads; breakfasts from
8 until 8, receives visitors until or S;
dimes from until 6. plays billiards from

He writes that he suffered intensely
from the extreme heat of a Washington
| Summer. This did not prevent work
| in the early morning or evening in his
! garden and long horseback rides with
| his son.
One Of the big social affairs of the
period was the ball given at the Adams
| home In January. 1924, in honor Of
Gen. Jackson on the anniversary of the
| Battle of New Orleans. Adams then
was Secretary of State under President
Monroe. and the bitter political enmity
| between him and "Old Hickory" had
not yet developed. A New York news
paper of the time gives this description
OF the fete:
| "At o'clock Gen. Jackson entered
the room and with great dignity and
| gracefulness Of manner escorted Mrs.
Adams through the apartments. He was
in plain citizens dress, and appeared
Remarkably well. saluting and receiving
the congratulations Of his friends with
his usual urbanity and affability."

Important Role for Hat Ornament
By MARY MARSHALL,

Because rings, bracelets, wrist watches,
brooches and long chains are hidden
when woman wears her street en-
semble-and even the inconSpicuouS
choker of pearls or metal links is out of
view when the collar is drawn close
around the neck-the hat ornament
plays very important role and should
be chosen with care. How often it is
said of a remarkably we'll dressed wom-
an-that her only ornament was hat
ornament of rhinestoneS or of pearls
and emeralds Or dull silver or old gold
worn on close hat otherwise I'M
trimmed.
And bear in mind that the jeweled
or metal hat ornament should be worn
on hat otherwise untrimmed. If
milliners were as eager to restore the
fashion for deliberately trimmed hats
as they seemed to be a few seasons
ago. then they should have left off the
jeweled and metal hat ornaments
which smart women so often choose in
preference to any other bit of adorn-
ment.
The fact that a hat ornament of
this sort seems substantial and durable
may have something to do with their
vogue. Ask woman to allow SIS extra
to pay for small feather ornament of
distinction and she will hesitate. Show
her a jeweled ornament costing two or
three times that amount and she will
buy if she likes it and can afford it,
juStifying herself with the thought that
it is of permanent value, though as
matter of fact she may give the hat to
poor relation, ornament and all, quite
as soon as she would have given the hat
with the feather ornament.
Belts are assuming an ever-increas-
ing importance in the panorama of
fashion. One marvels at the number
of them spread in showcases and on
counters in the shops nowadays-and
one sometimes marvelS also at the price
of the most attractive ones. Some of,
these are crocheted from silk twist
and these, fortunately. you can make
for yourself at a tri1ing cost If you
