ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., December
27-Old Mother Earth has a perpetual
bump or herself that keeps travelling
around under the moon, and stretches
the Atlantic Ocean out So feet wider
at some times than others. the Amer
ican Association for the Advancement
of Science was told today.
The travelling bump is caused BY the
moons attraction, which stretches the
earth out as though it were made of
rubber instead of rock. and may upset
some measurements Of the stars made
in the past before astronomers knew
the bump existed.
A new way to tell your neighbor's s
social standing-And your own-just
by checking up on the furnishings in
the living room was described by an
other scientist. It takes only 10 min
utes
The earth's bump travels all the way
around the globe every "a hours, like a
bump on a rubber balloon produced by
running your finger around the inside.
Evidence that it exists was reported by
Alfred L. LOOMS Of Tuxedo Park. N.

u. S. RECOVERY SEEN
IN FAITH OF PEOPLE
Harvey D. Gibson Certain Courage
and Determination Will Bring
Prosperity Again.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 27.-The
American people have faith and courage
and therefore the determination to be
prosperous again. said Harvey D. Glib
son, president Of the Manufactures
Trust Co.
1--WE are not looking for prosperity
Just around the corner, nor is it now
essential to our morale" he continued,
in a year-end statement
"There are sound reasons why we
should regard the outlook for 1888 with
greater confidence. For one thing. our
gold position is. restored substantially
to what it was a year ago. Further,
business is now largely adjusted to a
1882 basis. :.
"All this is material gain and it is
definite enough to be encouraging. But
to me the outstanding achievement OF
the past year has been the patience
and the sense of reality-the very an
tithesis Of the psychology which brought
about present conditions-thatw we have
seen develop on ever hand"

CHICAGO PREPARES
FOR BIG NEW YEAR
10000 Expected at Hotels
and Night Clubs for HoIi-
day Celebrations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 27-Chicago
IS getting ready to whoop it up New
Years eve and chase away what gloom
remains of 1882 at bargain prices.
Hotel men and night club hosts re-
ported today that they were looking
forward to 10000 revelers to equal or
better last years number Of celebrants.
They said there seemed to be two
principal factors to make them opti-
mistic-the general decrease In the
costs of "'whooppee'' and an almost
universal desire by the people to defy
the effects Of the aftermaths Of the
economic recession.
One hotei reported q rs per cent in
crease in the early reservations as com
pared with last year. Several others
are giving out one quotation for every
thing needed for joy-making-except
hard liquor" The one price includes
ginger ale, noise-makers and early
morning breakfast.
For IS a celebrant will be able to
get what would have cost twice that
amount a few years ago.
NJ L. Harvey, prohibition admins
traitor, has not yet given any ndica-
tions as to what tactics he and his
men will pursue.

DOES RHEUMATIC
AGONY DRIVE
You CRAZY?

You cannot hope TO get lasting
relief from cruel, gripping rheu-
matte aches and pains If you are a
slave to laxative drugs.
Medical authorities make no Sc
cret of the fact that often sluggish
bowels contribute the poisons and
acid conditions which result in pain
full, swollen, inflamed limbs and
joints. You must stor these poisons
ct the source.
The Cream of Nujol treatment
does this at cost Of only a few
cents day. Doctors specially rec
ommend this new form of Nujol
treatment for those suffering from
rheumatic conditions. Cream of
Nujol lubricates laxative-dried bow
els, gives them new elasticity and
activity, so that poisonous wastes
are thrown off daily by natural
peristaltic action. The new harm
less Cream Of Nujol treatment will
make you regular as clockwork and
will not interfere with your work or
your play. Moreover, it is delicious
and easy to take. Get Cream of
Nujol tonight at any drug counter.

Matching Not the Rule
This as you know comes to us
from the 17O0's, when Queen Anne
ruled England. 1t has those cabri-

sometimes plain, that distinguish
furniture of this period. It's most
fashionable covered in damask OF

Right now most people prefer tc
make up their own ensemble OF
living room furniture instead OF
using a complete matching suite.
The ylike particularly sofa and
one chair to match the same
type, and covered in the same ma
terial. Then instead of another
matching chair, they like one ode
chair chosen to harmonic in type
and covered with different fabric
but one that goes well with the
covering on the other two pieces.
And still others prefer all three
pieces to be different, but related II

Adults Bad Examples Blamed
for Dereliction of Youths

The main difficulty faced by mod
ern youth is its adult accomplice
who leads it in the wrong direction"
said Milo H. Stuart, assistant super
intendent of schools, in his discus
sion of THE Youth and Prohibi-
tion," at the luncheon meeting of
the Central w. G. T. u. at the Food
craft Shop.
Its a mark of age always to
feel that youth is going to the dogs, :"
he said.
Mr.. Stuart poitned out that the
greatest issue is not prohibition, but
law enforcement. He illustrated the
failure of people to take their
medicine" for law violation, COM
promising instead with a financial
settlement.
Our boys and girls today show up
in channels Of discipline for offenses
much more inconsequential than
many of the youths of the genera
ton before" he said.
Take away the adult who sets up
the temptation and this genera
ton will make good"
DR.. William Rothenburger, pastor
Of the Third Christian church, said
prohibition is the result of long
process of education under the in
fluence of the w. G. T. u, schools,
churches, industry and science.
Prohibition, he declared, was the
work of one generation, but he pre-
dicted that one generation could
not destroy it.
He accused drys of laying down
on the job" and said because of

their failure to keep fighting the
vets have made Roadway.
He said the anti-prohibitioniStS'
platform is weakened because
various groups stand for modiflca-
ton, others for repeal"
Instrumentation has been foisted
on the people, he concluded. IF
we wish to keep the eighteenth
amendment, it must be kept by per-
petuity Of the same education pro-
cess that achieved it,"
Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, member of
the w. G. T. u, made a plea for
continued education along the line
of prohibition. She pointed out
that it was the duty of women to
determine that the amendment
should be kept.
Mrs, T. P. Templeton announced
that DR.. James A. Grain of the pro-
hibition board of strategy in Wash
ington, D. c., and executive sec
rotary of the Disciples of Christ,
will speak on the Victory Day pro-
pram to be held at Cadle taber-
nacle, Jan. II.

There's a newer variation of this

This is called the "wing lounge

ton.

that you recognize as coming from

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Ever been
In in a room where you had the
feeling you couldn't draw deep
breath, even with the windows wide
open? Or in one where you felt
you we're in the middle of a prairie
even though you could see plenty
Of furniture about?
Trouble with both those rooms
probably-was the same thing. Fur
niture wrongly proportioned for the
size of the room.
In the first room the furniture
was doubtless too massive for the
room size, and in the second it was
too delicate.
A spacious room can use more
maSSive-looking furniture than a
smaller one, obviously. The pieces
actually may not measure any more
in length than some other kind, but
they look heavier because of their
fairly straight lines and massive
proportions.
If the room isn't large-or be-
cause of the arrangement of doors,
windows and so forth-looks small
er than it actually is, it's better to
use lighter-l looking type of furni-
ture so the room won't seem
crowded.
Club Type Comfortable
Just about the most fashionable
of the more massive-looking living
room furniture is the English club
type.
Its lines are simple. It's built low
