Today in
Washington History.

May 8, 1861.-A committee of well
known and representative citizens of
Northwestern Virginia has come to
Washington in an effort to obtain the
protection of the Federal Government
IN maintaining the allegiance of that
section Of their State to the United
States.
Their views, it is understood, met with
the immediate approval of officials of
the Federal Government, which is ex-
pected to do everything within its power
to continue, without molestation from
the secessionists, these loyal citizens Gin
the enjoyment of all the privileges of
cttizenship"-to quote their own words.
The constituents of this committee,
1t will be recalled, have arranged to
hold a convention at Wheeling, Va,
May 10, for the purpose of devising
measures-aS one of the committee

Noteworthy transitions in decoration
have been going on within the past
eight years. Prior to the time specified
courageous decorators had begun to
break away from the hide-bound tradi-
ticn of pure-period treatment of rooms.
Compatible decoration forged its way
over consistent decoration until now
good taste sanctions harmony rather
than unity. In fact, it is reckoned cold
and museum-like to have rooms in
which each article typifies the same
era.
There must be few pieces at least
that are different. These must be so
carefully chosen, however, that they are
congenial to the other furnishings and

first striking process in the transitions
that have been under way.
Another change that is considered
progress by some and change by
others merely is the modernistic move
ment in decoration. This is in accord
with no definite era A very wide lati-
tude for poor decoration is offered in
this style. When all rules of line and
form are violated effects are startling,
and If this is desired end 1t can be
readily achieved. If this advance style
is introduced in its highest form, re-
suits will not be so bizarre, but they
will be more gratifying to real artistry
While 1t seems to be the wish OF
ultra modernists to have every one look
on this decoration as indicative of a
unique development, there really is
nothing new under the sun, and it has
its basis in classic types. Straight lines
and angles belong to the earliest forms

Diathermy.

Mckenzie, prominent English au-

1929, issue of the British Medical Jour-
nal. London, that he is convinced that
diathermy coagulation or desiccation
will come to be the method of choice for
the extirpation of enlarged or infected
tonsils in adults. He finds it unsuitable
for children, because children cannot
or will not cooperate with the doctor
or submit quietly to the treatment, as
O rule.
McKenzie's view of the new method
was very briefly distracted or quoted in
the January 10 number of the Journal
of the American Medical Association.
Nevertheless the editor Of the latter
Journal (February Id states that when
he was In Buffalo recently several peo-

the state president TO the interest

representing practically every asSo-

she pointed out, is not sufficient
for the proper evolution Of the child's
character and mental development.
And while the state Is taking every
means to produce efficient and sat-
isfactory teachers for the training
OF the child in the school, parents
IN many instances find themselves
unequipped for that portion OF child
training which Is their particular
responsibility during the helpless
years Of infancy.
Time For Training
Those years Of helplessness," said
Mrs. Smith, form the most import
ant period OF a child's life and offer
an opportunity for its parents to
mold its character, mental and
physical habits, and start the child
on the proper path for its later
training in school. Parents are re-
sponsible for a child's personality;
for its technique Of living, or its
attitude toward life. That attitude,
parents must labor TO make help
full to the child; to see that right
ideas Of living are inStilled in the
child mind which will advance, rath-
er than retard, its mental and So
cial development"
To this end, PIT. A. work as a
whole is being concentrated on
training for mothers and fathers,
the Valley women were told. In
line with the home training for

system for public schools Of the
