STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

Comfort in the garden is not the
first consideration when it comes
to the furniture. Wrought iron of
the unsoft species is smartest and
this year in white. One way to
soften the blow is to select the OPP
en-frame kind that permit strong
backs and seats of double pefmatex
in white being tied onto the frames.
If you really want graden loung-
ing, that's one of the kindest things
you can do for the unsuspecting
Vertebrae. Or If you really have
the vertebrae at heart, bet.lf stay
on the terrace and enjoy white
rattan chaise Tongue. The cushions
should be yellow and that shade
Of blue that Mexicans like for serge
suits.

Gcd Speaks Through His Prophets

To Us
"The Lord is good, stronghold
in the day of trouble; and He
knoweth them that trust in Him.
The Lord is slow to anger, and
great in power, and will not at all
acquit the wicked: the Lord hath
His way in the whirlwind and IN
the storm, and clouds are the dust
of His feet. Nahum 1:7,3.
why do the heathen rage, and
the people imagine vain thing?
The kings of the earth set them
selves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against the Lord, and
against His Amounted, saying, let us
break their bands asunder, and
cast away their cords from us. He
that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh: the Lord shall have them in
derision. Then shall He speak un-
to them in His sore diSpleasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my
holy hill Zion. will declare the
decree: the Lord hath said unto
me, Thou art my Son: this day
have I begotten Thee. Ask of me,
and 1 shall give thee the heathen
for thine inheritance, and the ut
termost parts of the earth for thy
possession: thou shalt break them
in pieces like a potters vessel. Be
wise now therefore, o ye kings: be
instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear, and re-
joice with trembling. Kiss the
Son, lest He be angry, and ye per-
ish from the way, when His wrath
is kinder but a little. Blessed are
all they that put their trust in
Him. Psalms 2:1-12. 'T'he wick
ed shall be turned into hell, and

 QN WASHINGTON TRAIN

ROCKY MOUNT, N. C., March 3. Senator Thomas w. Walsh, the dauntless White-haired Montana liberal, chosen as Attorney Gen. eral in the Roosevelt Cabinet, was found dead by his bride yesterday in the drawing room of train speeding toward Washington. He was aged 73 years.
 The tragic emf of the veteran Senator's brief honeymoon was a severe blow to the incoming ad- ministration and to President elect Roosevelt, who had expect ed to meet MT. Walsh in Washing ton prior to the inaugural ceremo- nies Saturday.
 Senator Thomas J. Walsh was born at Two Rivers, Wis, in 1859, educated in the public schools and took his LIB. degree at the Uni versity of Wisconsin. He taught school in Sturgeon Bay, Wis, and became principal of the High school of that city. He began the practice of law with his brother Henry c. Walsh, at Redfield, s. D. in 1884. He moved to Helena, Mont, in 1920 and became a mem Der of the law firm of Walsh, No land & Scallon in 1907
 Senator Walsh was a Democrat and a candidate for Congress in 1906. He was delegate to the De- mOcratic national conventions in 1908. 1912, 1918 and 1920. He was 6 member of the subcommittee on platforms at each convention. He became a candidate for the U. S, Senate in 1910 and served as Sena- tor three terms, from 1913 to 1881, and was reelected for the long term, expiring in 1887. He was a Catholic, and member of the Am erican Bar Association. His home was in Helena, Mont.
 During his incumbency as Sena- tor he rose rapidly in the councils of his party and had become power in the upper house of Con- gress.
