white, or striped and plaided in
various colors. The material is
sisal, the fiber of large tropical
plant which grows in Java, and
takes dyes especially well, so that
the rugs are sunfast and washable.
These rugs are more expensive than
some of the other rugs, but are
much more attractive and suitable
for any room in the house. Sum-
mer rag rugs have taken to plaids
and are more inviting than usual
with their nice color schemes. They
are inexpensive, too, and may be
just what you are looking for.
A NEW valance for your dressing
\ table might be a helpful hint
too, and for this ivory white with
sprays of pink and blue flowers is
refreshing if you are using lots of
creamy white in your room instead of
green.
A change of lamps or lamp shades
makes a big difference in a room, too
Fluted paper or parchment shades in
ivory or pale green and pale yellow
are delightful and very inexpensive
even the large ones. If one of these
colors does not harmonize with your
lamp base, just put away your Win
ter lamp and invest the small sum of
$3.50 in a new Summer lamp, shade
and all-it adds so much to a room.
An ivory pottery base with few
long thin, green leaves and a small
spray of yellow and orange flowers is
used with shade in the same colors
and design. Equally good is another
white lamp and shade with design in
putty color and gold.
If you like to read on the porch,

metal floor lamps with little glass or

convenient height. These come in yel-

improvements have to be made and
some few additions always make the
rooms more attractive for new
season.
If it is your bed room that you want
to give attention to first, make the
windows look light and airy and have
the bedspread cool and washable. Then
with Summer rugs you have changed
the whole effect and made it delight
fully inviting and even lowered the
temperature 10 degrees, at least to all
appearances.
For the windows, plain dotted
swiss in cream or pale green is
good, or you may have a COOL
looking chintZ in green and white
or blue and white, with no glass
curtains. There are some delight
full chintZes with new-looking de-
signs For instance, daffodil yell
low with a bamboo lattice work
done in white. This has a wide
brown edge, suggesting that the
color scheme OF the room should
include brown. Another excellent
chintz comes in several colors with
a diagonal lattice of white rope
that is very effective. When the
background is ivory and the rope
lattice is in red and green it is
very smart. These simple patterns
are among the loveliest for Summer
use For more elaborate decoration
there is an apricot chintz with
classic garland pattern in ivory,
and, of course. many other inter-
esting ones.

once so prevalent in Summer rooms.
EVERYTHING was taken down and packed
awav and one just lived through the
summer in rooms devoid of all charm.
But that is so unnecessary and, IN
fact, one should try to create cool,
restful atmosphere to rest tired, Jaded

Is a candlewick spread of white, closely

Greater Theater Patron

From the Santa Monica Evening Outlook.
Probably the most remarkable In
dication of improved business condi-
tions which has become public is the
report by a large group of leading
theater operators who recently met in
conference in Los Angeles TO the effect
that theater attendance throughout
the United States and Canada in re-
cent months has been at the level Of
the year 1928.
The only difference between 1928
and the recent months Of 1884 has
been that the rates Of admission have
been reduced In line with other exist
ing prices. With operating costs gen.
orally lower than in 1928, this would
indicate that the public was spending
for theater entertainment about the
same proportion Of its income that 1t
did in that year.
This larger theater attendance
raises many interesting questions in
regard to social conditions. There
seems to be no reason why the theater
should appeal more now than it did
six year ago, or for thinking that the
depression has changed the disposition
Of the public regarding its amuSements
or entertainment
Perhaps the most reasonable ex-
PLANTATION Of this greater patronage
lies in the fact that the people gen.
orally have ceased to be apprehensive
Of the future and look forward with
confidence to improved conditions
The desire for entertainment can b
satisfied under these conditions with
out the apprehension that existed
year or two years ago.

special reference to present social,
economic and political conditions now
prevailing in the United States. It is
filled with the most thought-provoking
data and argument. For example, he
says:
"Forward-lo looking minds are COM
ing to realize that social revolutions
are really social breakdowns, caused
by dual process of racial impover-
ishment-the elimination Of superior
strains and the multiplication of de-
generates and interiors. Inexorably
the decay of racial values corrodes
the proudest civilizations, which en-
genders within itself those forces Of
chaos that will one day work its
ruin. More and more are we
coming to see that hatred of civili-
Zation is mainly a matter of heredity,
that bolsheviks are mostly born and
not made. How can we expect q
man to support a social order which
he instinctively deteStS or which he
is congenitally unable to achieve?
And how can society expect peace
full progress so long as it spawns
social rebels and laggards, and at the
same time Sterilizes those creative
Superiors who are at once its build
ers and its preServers. History
proves conclusively that revolutions
are precipitated mainly by inefi-
cient government and unwise finance.
Here more than anywhere else the
guidance of superior intelligence is
vital necessity. Were our political
and economic life today guided by our
best minds we should have little to
fear from social revolution. A series
of constructive reforms would safe
guard the future, while the present
revolutionary onslaught would be
summarily repelled. High intelligence
is nearly always well poised, and can
be depended upon in crisis to keep
cool and do the right thing. Me-
diocrity, on the other hand. lacks
poise and vision. Yet governments are
today everywhere mainly in mediocre
hands. Governments should govern.
should have faith in themselves and
the principles they stand for, and
should meet the challenge of aggres-
sive minorities with intelligent fore
sight, instant action and unflinching
courage"
All of which is a most striking
statement of our present deficiencies
and shortcomings, and a partial ex-
planation of our social, economic,
political and financial plight and of
the ominous dangers now threatening
America and the world at large.

Borah Attack on Bureaucracy
Inspires Approving Comment

| him into the belief that IN this clumsy
task it uses other money than his
own, weakening his incentives, en-
tangling itself and him In red tape,
making a poor fist OF it because 1t
substitutes the rigid formulas and
stereotyped thinking Of small group
of men for the myriad impulses and
activities of a whole people. Borah
sums it up in a word The principal
work of recovery depends upon the
initiative and energy OF every private
citizen With that initiative and
energy, bureaucracy by its very ma
ture is everywhere at war"
HE admits" the Asbury Park Eve
ming Press notes, that Mr.. Rose
velt's intentions of breaking up
monopolies have not been successful
as yet and that it was the rugged in
dividualists' who created the prob
lens of unbridled monopolies that the
President faces. The new deal will
profit from this type of criticism.
Even its warmest friends will not deny
the opposition the right to express It, T"
The Milwaukee Sentinel, however,
asserts that the Idaho Senator "has
no philosophy, only a general, but not
unexceptionable, rule Of dissent" and
the Nashville Tennessean asserts:
"Borah spends his years stirring up
discomfort which favors the forma-
ton Of third parties, but these par
ties, once formed, do not find In him
a supporter"
The Kansas City Times concludes:
mfr. Borah likes to play lone hand.
He always has played that way, more
or less, and he likes it q lot better
than just going along He plays
that way in the Senate and on the
stump, and his sincerity, his penetra-
ton and his force command respect,
even in the enemy's camp"
Evening star., 1934-07-14

Some editorial comment dismisses
Senator Borahs attack on the new
deal as a builder of bureaucracy and
monopoly as the grumbling Of q
chronic dissenter, but considerable
section of the press seems to find such
warnings timely and wholesome.
"It Is by no means undesirable, ="
says the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Ito
have a man of his stamp speaking out
his mind at this time. His sharp
comment may help many to formulate
and solidify their own ideas on Amer
lean policy" The Connellsville (Pa)
Daily Courier states: Senator Borah
Is not likely to attract many recruits
from either Of the opposing party
organizations in his campaign against
bureaucracy and monopoly, but he
will give the public much to think
about as he discusses these issues
during the approach of the FAN
elections"
"The Senator explained, says the
Rockford Register Republic, that
throughout the world today the lib
erty and rights of the people are
less enjoyed and in more imminent
danger of utter destruction than they
we're in l776. AS practically
the first highly distinguished, able,
trusted uncompromising opponent OF
the administrations policies, who
still holds a place Of power at WASH
ington. the Senator's criticisms and
warnings strike with conclusive force.
He is destined to be clarifying and
enlivening influence for the Fau
campaign"
In reply to Mr.. Borah's criticisms
the Miami Daily News observes: The
country has accepted this new 'bu-
reaucracy' as a necessary evil. No
one, we may be sure, would be gladder
than the President if Senator Borah
can and will show him ways to escape
the ills which these bureaus have
been set up to cure while getting rid
of the bureaus themselves. This, in
truth, is one of the problems Of the
approaching hour. Recovery achieved,
all America will be glad TO discover
ways to sustain the recovery while
getting rid, to the largest possible
extent, Of the bureaucracy by which
it was achieved"
ut takes a pretty good eyesight,"
contends the Danbury News-Times,
ito find that the tendency to monop-
oily is increased by anything which
is going on now, excepting, perhaps,
the movement toward socialism" The
News-Times concludes: For the time
being the lesson that the world
teaches is a lesson of discipline. We
have been too long engaged in let
ting everybody do what he pleased,
whether the rest of us were harmed
or not. Now we are trying TO create
a society which can be operated, with
some sacrifice of individual license,
for the greater good of the Nation.
Remarking that Senator Borah has
been a supporter of the Federal Re
serve Board and the Federal Trade
Commission, the Columbus (Ohio)
Citizen declares that 'if the Senator
is going TO fight it out on this line all
Summer, we would suggest, in all
friendliness, that he specify" The
Cincinnati Times-Star, however, offers
the opinion: Bureaucracy means
well, but it is static. 1t interferes and
forgets. 1t is the Government med
ding with the affairs Of the individ-
ual, trying to do for him what he
can do better for himself, cajoling

Another Earthouakei

Beginning more than two months
ago, May 9, over the issue of union
recognition, the strike of $4,000
stevedores on the West Coast has
already involved thirteen unions,
numbering about $4,000 men in their
membership; has caused the loss OF
many millions of dollars, the loss of
life, bloodshed and suffering on the
part of thousands of innocent per-
sons Today San Francisco is on the
verge of a general strike, and only
last-minute return TO sanity on the
part Of those responsible for the
impasse will prevent the dreaded COM
plications resulting from such action.
The Presidents special board,
created TO attempt settlement Of
the original difficulties with the long
shoremen, has apparently been power
less in the face Of the growing
emergency. News dispatches report
that conditions in San Francisco al
ready approximate those Of general
strike, with food supplies growing
short and with many of the every
day services OF a metropolitan area
already suspended.
The suffering caused the population
by a suspension of normal activities,
the real danger faced when the trans
portation of food and necessities is
shut of, the stoppage of business ac-
tivity and the financial losses that
such stoppage involves-all these are
serious enough. But any one who has
followed the reports Of the West
Coast strike must realize that the
trouble there already assumes some Of
the dreaded characteristics of an un-
controlled con1agration. Once the
fire of prejudice and blind hate gets
beyond the control of common sense,
common decency and the ordinary
bounds Of law and order. no one can
tell what damage will have been done
before its violence is spent.
With a characteristic opportunism.
the radical elements of the West
Coast. conveniently grouped as Com
munists," are ready to make the best
of a situation that lends itself Pc
culiarly to their aims. Weeks ago
the radicals we're taking up their
chant that "the revolution is at
hand" Now they are reported ready
to converge on the troubled area in
and around San Francisco and to
make their demonstrations as further
Indictment to disorder.
Conservative elements of organized
labor have been standing out against
the general strike. If they yield at
this time, and join the movement, they
stand to lose great deal. They
merely throw in their lot with the
organized radicals, who stand for
nothing but blind violence and de-
Struction, and thus surrender their
identity with the labor forces Of the
country which enjoy general respect
and sympathy.
Whether level heads in San Fran
cisco can avert the disaster that now
threatens remains to be seen. Level
heads, in times like these, are at
premium. 1t is certainly the appro-
pirate time for all organized labor in
the country to throw the weight of
its influence behind the conservative
element in San Francisco, which
stands out against the insanity Of a
general Striks.
