NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-This BIZ
~ centennial celebration or George
Washington is going to do a lot for
his home-life reputation. In calling
to mind the colonial scene, folks are
remembering that he was sur
rounded by such honey things as
banjo clocks and quaint old lamps.
He wasn't always clutching a
Ratchet and hacking at cherry trees.
Can't you imagine Martha wash
ingtOn saying TO him, in their home
at MI. Vernon: George, you're read
in a poor light. Do come w here
by the lamp And he doubtless
moved into the glowing circle of
n Of those charming old lamps.
Glass Lamps Used Today
Glass lamps with parchment
shades, often decorated with gold
eagles and stars. So charming that
even today we copy them for our
electric lights.
And he certainly must have seen
his tall dignity reduced to a funny
squat figure in a bull's-eye mirror,
since this type glass hung in Mount
Vernon. Convex, you know, in a
round gold frame. Often with an
eagle perched on top.
You'll see these mirrors giving an
authentic note to many Early
American rooms today and in
cidentally adding an impression of
greater depth-Which is an import
ant point in the modern, small
room.
Banjo Clocks Are Colonial
Banjo clocks, too, date back to
Washington's day. They re usLGIy
mahogany, with little scenes pain ed
on the glass at the base, as you see
in the sketch. And those patriotic
early Americans liked to have eagles
spreading their wings protectively
over these timepieces.
They scatter stars literally on
everything, too. On dainty perfume
bottles and powder jars. Blue glass,
with gold stars, just as they're re-
produced today.
Early Figures Natural
DO you know the bric-a-brac that
goes with colonial scenes? Elegant
ly wigged little men and women
dressed in their colonial Sunday
best. Or shepherds and shep-
~herdesses posing gracefully with
their crooks.
Yes, animals too no relation
to the queer hybrids of glass you see
prancing around on tables in the
modern design. But lifelike horses
and StatfordShire dogs.
So If you want to be accurate in
your colonial room. don't let in a
penguin or a Scotty, however ap-
pealing he may be.
But do have a pair of Silhouettes
on the wall. OF George and Martha.

colonial and to commemorate them.

COTTON STEADY,
PRICE GAINS
MODERATE

NEW YORK, Feb. / G.NSJ.
The cotton market improved its
position somewhat after a steady
opening today, and further price
gains were chalked up in the
general run of contracts.
Only a moderate volume of
transactions took place with the
market continuing to be largely
an affair of trade buying slightly
more than offsetting light hedge
sales. Both Japanese interests
and the continent were buyers
of near months which were liqui.
dated by Wall Street.
Cotton Goods Firm
A firmer tone in the cotton
goods market was influenced by
the drastic program of curtail.
ment recommended by SpartanS.
burg, S. c., where mill owners
and representatives of 100 print
cloths conferred. Under the new
plan, to become effective for six
months for March /, mills on
day schedules will curtail 10 per
cent, mills working los hours
week will curtail 20 per cent, and
mills on a maximum day and
night schedule will curtail 25
per cent.
The situation in China was
uppermost in discussion among
the trade.
Exports to Japan Increase
Exports to the Orient were
sizeable on Saturday, and total
exports showed up well in COM
parison with the previous Satur-
day, being $4,000 against 1000
bales. The exports to Japan up
to last Friday night were 1,234,739
bales for the season against
614,234 a year ago.
At midday, March was up 2
points, at $6.74; May up 2, at
$6.91; July UP 3, at $708; Octo-
ber up 4, at $3.50, and December
up 2, at $745.

The bears were caught mapping

wage dispute, full agreement was
reached and the formal contract
signed over the weekend.
AS the result the rail stocks

for the shorts who had delayed
some of their short selling until

Follow Rails
The industrials and specialties
moved upward with the rails in
the first period, but there was no
great demand for stocks from
outside sources and most Of the
price peaks we're flattened out.
The war situation in the Far East
assumed more serious aspects
over the weekend, but Wall

better outlook reported for steel,

UNLIKELY To AID
! IN ROOSEVELT
CAMPAIGN
Friends, However, May Urge
Him to Make Speech
for Party's Sake
BY RAYMOND I. BoRsT

CHICAGO, July 2 (I.N.S).
Former Gov. AL Smith is not
likely to lift his hand to help
his one-time bosom friend, Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the
forthcoming battle for the
presidency, it was indicated
by persons close to Smith as
the former Governor prepared
to. leave early this afternoon
for New York.
At the same time Smiths
friends made it plain that unless
there are some unexpected
developments in the campaign he
would not 60 on the war path"
against Roosevelt.
He's Going Fishing
AS for Smith he is saying
nothing for publication but an
hour after Governor Roosevelt
was nominated he told friends in
his room at the Congress Hotel:
81 have an idea that / am
going to do a good deal Of
fishing this summer"
He was asked:
"HOw do you feel about Gov
ernOr ROOsevelt'S nomination."
Smith replied smiling:
Nothing to say"
''Will you support Roosevelt"
''I'm not going to say any
thing right now"
Governor Roosevelt's friends
have not attempted to conceal
the fact during the last few
months that they were somewhat
concerned over persistent reports
that if the New York governor
became the party's presidential
candidate, Smith might decide to
take a vacation in Europe about
the time that the campaign was
ct its height.
May Make One Speech
There is good reason to believe
that early in the campaign.
Roosevelt's managers will bend
every effort to have Smith make
at least one speech for him in
the hope Of solidifying the va
rious elements in the party.
Smith was not at the stadium
when the man he drafted as his
party's candidate for governor of
New York in 1928 became the
party's 1892 Presidential candi-
date. He remained at his hotel
room, surrounded by members of
his family and a few intimate
friends, listening to the conven-
ton by radio.
- Word reached Smith that
Roosevelt was "in the bag" as
he was preparing to leave for
the stadium, still believing that
Roosevelt had been stopped.

WR|TESO NEW
MAN Of HOUR
His Astute Manipulation of
Garner Votes Regarded As
Political Master Stroke
BY ELSIE ROBINSON

CHICAGO, July 2 (LN.S.).
William Gibbs McAdoo. He
was through, they said, in
1924.
An old man-finished.
Nothing more to do but
lock the office door-go home
and dream. For the little
time that was left, of the
things he had done.
Great things. one of those i'm
possible, but true, stories Of Amert-
can success. A country boy
struggling to find his place in
those pinched, bewildered years
that followed the civil war. A
lanky, country boy built on the
traditional Uncle Sam pattern,
strong bones thrusting boldly
under tanned, young skin, shabby
coat sleeves too short for the
eager, growing young hands.
Dreamed and Grew
Always the pressure of poverty.
But never pressure enough to
cramp the soaring dreams. And
so he dreamed-and so he grew.
And presently young McAdoo
was man, learning law, learning
life. Experiencing all those
things which make a man real
and make man deep. Love and
loss. Trial and failure and, gradu-
ally, success.
That great tube that flung its
way beneath the Hudson River.
With that exploit, which was so
typical Of his own deep struggle,
he caught Americas Imagination.
And held it through blazing years.
Busy building years
Years that took him from the
peaceful farming village into
great cities-into lawyers office
and an engineers fame.
Years Of Hard Work
Years that swept him, then,
from city's steel skyscraper
into the white marble, and the
pOIup a1lQ OSu1Gy, Oh IQS uaC1OuS 3
Capitol.
Gruelling responsibility and
hard work during those years,
much honor, great happiness,
and then
The sudden, swamping horror
of the war. The need to mobilize
men-the vital necessity to find
funds.
You are remembering it all,
aren't you?
