Three comfortable chairs now can be
used in room where only two of the
older ones could be arranged, and the
effect is much more pleasing without
giving less comfort.
In the large overstuffed chairs there
was no more seating room, the huge
ness of the chairs being in the large
sized arms and backs, which in no way
added to the comfort of the occupant.
. The illustration shows an ideal type
of chair for the average sized room in
apartment or house, and the curved
back and down cushion seat promise
maximum of comfort.
Plain or small-patterned materials
are splendid for this type of chair and
jaspe stripes are found to be very pleas
ing, since they may be used in contrast
ing shades to make the pieces interest

OF U. S. GETS BACKING
Five National Business Associa-
tions Offer Services to Govern
ment to Improve Laws.

In an effort to solve problems pre-
sented by bankruptcy in America, five
of the largest national business asso-
Citations yesterday rendered their serv-
ices to the Government in its bank
ruptcy investigation by the Department
of Justice.
Following meeting at the Chamber
Of Commerce of the United States with
Solicitor General Thomas d. Thatcher
who is conducting the Government S
probe, the committee representing the
business associations met with President
Hoover, who expressed his appreciation
of the committees cooperation.
Robert V. Fleming, president of the
Riggs National Bank, represented the
American Bankers Association on the

Barnes, chairman of the board of the
United States Chamber of Commerce:
James r. Hewitt. chairman of the Leg

CONCERNING LAW
AMENDMENT 0. K D
Senate District Committee
Favorable to Plan to Expe-
dite U. S. Buildings.

The Senate District Committee yes
terday afternoon voted favorable re-
port on proposed amendment to the
Federal condemnation law here, after
Attorney General Mitchell had ex-
planned that it would expedite &C.
QUESTION of sites for several public
buildings.
Congress passed a law last year en-
abling the Government to obtain I'M
mediate possession of property needed
in the District by paying the owners
the estimated value, any balance found
to be due by the jury to be paid at the
close of the proceedings.
The Attorney General said the
amendment is intended to let the Gov
eminent obtain immediate possession of
several sites which cannot be taken
over under the law as it stands, because
preliminary condemnation steps had
been started prior to passage of the
present law in March, 1929.
He explained to the committee that
if Congress adopts the amendment and
allows the Government to get immedi-
ate possession, the property owners will
not be stopped from litigating their
claims to a final conclusion in the
courts, and in the meantime the build
ing program will be speeded up.
The Attorney General said the amend
ment is needed to expedite obtaining
sites for the new Post Office and Inter
state Commerce buildings. in the area
south of Pennsylvania avenue and west
of Twelfth street; the site for an ex-
tension to the Department of Agricul-
ture, and the site for relocation of the
Botanic Gardens near the foot of Cap
itol Hill.
The committee also reported favorably
a bill to enable the secretary of the
Board of District Commissioners to per-
form certain routine duties now re-
CURED to be done only by the Commits
Sioners.
