tablecloths with wide bands Of color.
For example, one cloth had a five-
band border of two green, two yell
lows and wide blue In the center.
With this cloth you could use dishes
with any of these colors and the
effect would still be good.
A IL the shops seem to be having big
Z a sales of bed linens. It is the very
best time to buy those extra sheets and
pillowcases that you have been needing
| for so long All the wanted makes are
set out in plain sight and the sizes and
prices carefully marked SO you can see
everything at glance II is a splendid
thing for the shops to specialize on GER
tain commodities at particular times of
the year. It works two ways. It helps
| the store by boosting sales on special
merchandise and it helps the customer
by acquainting her with the entire stock
on hand. The careful shopper, who
| handles the household finances judici-
ously, watches for these sales each sea-
son and makes her purchases accord
ingly. In this way, she Is able to make
better selections and at the same time
she usually can buy what she wants for
less money. January white sales have
been going on for years. The shops
prepare for them and the customers
wait for them, and everybody enjoys
them. So don't miss out on them this
time
When you start thinking about bed
ding, you naturally include the bed
spread too. Now that most beds seem
to be of the old-fashioned variety Of de-
sign, the candleWick spreads are very
popular. With white grounds or in the
pastel colors they are equally good, and
one of their chief advantages is the
fact that they are SO easily laundered.
Soft rose color, with tufts Of rose
and white, makes nice spread in
sort of cobwebby pattern. This kind
has generous width and length. 1t
is cut extra long before the launder-
ing, which is always necessary to
set the wicking. This insures a
good, full-sized spread. Unbleached
muslin is also used for spreads with
designs other than candlewick. One
of these has very attractive de-
sign of tiny tufts Of cotton, giving
seeded effect, of leaves and flow
erS. 1t is little novelty, yet keep
ing the advantage of easy launder-
ing. Colonial spreads with roses,
baskets or vines are always good, too.
IF YOU are fond Of silk spreads, those
of celanese taffeta, in corded tai
lored effects are good. These come in
moireS, also, in dull colorS, with plain
or embroidered centers.
Bedspreads and couch covers that
come from the Kentucky mountains are
interesting. They are hand-loomed
and have the most fascinating names.
There are the double chariot wheel, log
cabin. Jefferson's garden, whig rose and
winding trail. The floating wave,
which is a favorite, has green predom-
mating in its pattern, and also uses
lavender against the white background
which all Of these spreads have. Lees
surrender is bright with red and blue.
These colors are all strong and the
designs close patterned.

we like Russian tea, too. SO we were
quite thrilled to find in the midst of
the January linen sales some beautiful
examples of Russian work with little
stickers on them. marked Made in
U. S. S. R (RuSsia)."
These are lovely in color and design
and furnish some excellent opportuni-
ties for new and different table decora-
tions, something that every hostess alb
solutely adores, and must have. A stun
ming one of these linens, in full table
on all four sides in shades of light and
darker tan, with an odd design in dull
reds. blues, browns and yellows, repeated
at intervals The designs are so large
that there are only three of them on
side.
The corners have squares Of
deeper tan in plain effect. This par
ticular cloth was chosen by the shop
as one of outstanding interest and
displayed on table set with heavy
DronZe-cOlored emma, amber glasses
and a centerpiece of yellow, orange
and blue flowers. The whole effect
was warm, rich and full Of life.
Another of these linens has a pre-
dominance of blue green that is
quite unusual. Some bridge-table
covers have peasant motifs in fine
croSs-stitch on white, that are very
different from the Chinese cross

A Novelist Resigns.
(New York Times.)

One of leading novelists, Joseph Hergesheimer, announces that he hates novels and that If their readers thought them lonesome as he did they would never read them. This sounds like a man who needs a vacation and MT. Hergesheimer is talk ing one But such is the avidty for new topics in the literary world that this announcement will no doubt soon be discussed solemnly in articles with such titles as "The Revolt from the Novel" If another novelist makes the announcement the thing will be called movement; if two more make it it will be called revolution. We shall be told that nothing else could be expected in a decaying capitalist civilization
 But what will the deserting novelists do? MT. Hergeshemer says he would welcome job as a newspaper cloumnist. This may be conSoling news to those colunmsts who think they would like to retire and write novels but would it be so com pletely satisfying to Mr. Hergesheimer as he seems to imagine? He would like to write for news paper he says, so he could do some balloon punc- turing" The practicing columnist however soon discovers that though he puncture balloons ever so deftly most of them continue blandly to It is necessary to keep puncturing the balloons and over. Unless MT. Hergesheimer enjoys this for its sake, he may soon find that writing columns is tiresome writing novels going South in the Winter.

A BRAVE AND GALLANT PEOPLE.

The stories of the people of Nome carrying-on after Nome's disastrous fire in September, as too by N Lester Troast and B. D. Stewart are heart ening lessons in courage, gallantry and grit
 People who had lost everything they owned the accumulation of years of teasures, small and large started to work with smile as soon as cooling embers would allow them to clear way the debris and start building again
 There was complaining at Nome. No tears were shed over all that lost. All went to work smilingly.
 s Everyone suffered alike, why complain, the Nometes asked
 Most of us complain about our bad luck when our misfortunes are trifling compared to those of the dauntless people of Nome. If we could learn the lesson their courages teaches smile in the face of trifling misfortunes they did in the face of real disaster, the tragedy of Nome would have accomplished another purpose beside the rebuilding of a city.

Pre-Testing Consumer Acceptance.
(seattle Journal of Commerce.)


 | The American consumer holds the whip-hand over industry and will not buy on the simple guaranty or suggestion of dealer if an article fails to suit his taste That is of the facts brought out n a study of Product Development" by the Met ropolitan Life Insurance Company in cooperation with fifty leading business organizations The inde- pendence of the consumer and the dependence of business upon his whims is now well recognized the study revealed that many companies, before marketing a new product, take measures to have it passed upon by selected groups of potential customers
 The study indicates also that business is wide awake to the importance of developing new products and rs~creating old ones to suit the public taste, program which a leading economist recently de- clared to be solution of the relief problem in this country
 The cotton industry is shown to have developed many new products for use in aeronautics in in- dustrial plants, in highway construction, in coal mines and in retailing, while efforts are now being made to open up an important new market for cotton canvas. A toy company whose sales were largely seasonal has developed other articles which have a market the year round. Gaily colored Kitchen utensils were found to be more popular than those of the quality which were more sombre in color roofing tile manufacturer in- creased his sales by the addition of bright color schemes while improved package designs and more convenient gadgets boosted business in other in- stances
 
 public served as a jury concerned automobile company This sent out 100000 ques- tionnares motorists regardless of the car owned and the replies had important bearing upon every phase of customer relations.
 Protesting of consumer acceptance" the re- port says, usually takes the form of getting reac- tions from so-called consumer jury, actually putting the product on sale in certain key cities and noting the progress of sales
 Both these types of consumer testing are em- ployed by a certain food manufacturer This com pany has organized a consumers department com posed of group of women who serve jury of consumers. After necessary laboratory work on new product has been completed, it is then proved and tested by placing samples in the hands of from 500 to 1000 housewives in all parts of the country who report their reactions. If the results of this test favorable, further final test is made by placing the product sale in a few selected communities"

Warning Japan.
(New York Times.)

Speaking expressly in the of President Roosevelt MT. Norman Davis, American Ambassador at Large gave an official notification at London yesterday to the Japanese authorities It was that if they persisted in their determination to denounce the Washington naval treaty they will be inviting and almost compelling, competitive race in build ing vessels. There be doubt of the Presidents sincerity in striving to limit ornaments. He has made a proposal of horizontal reduction in naval strength. The bills passed by Congress for additional construction always authorized sus- pension by the President if he is able to report international agreement for limitation of arms. But if Japan discards the agreed ratios for naval strength the United States will be forced to re- consider it's entire program and to create navy adequate for national defense in all circumstances.
 The Japanese Government is, of course, within it's right in denouncng the Washington naval treaty. That to until December, 1886, un- less of the contracting Powers gave the two years notice of withdrawal from it. But it would not be ordinary of nation refusing longer to be bound by treaty. The Washington document especially provided that if notice of denunciation given by Power, the treaty would at to be binding upon all the other contracting Powers. Thus the action of Japan will at throw the door open to the competitive building of which MT. Davis at London spoke so ominousy. The result would be, in effect, a chal- lenge by Japan to other nations to outbuild her if they could. They certainly could if they were determined to do it. The question, therefore, for Japan is whether she afford, financially or morally, to thrust such dangerous issue upon the world.

lesser import, the legislature has
clothed the governor with great
power, and sufficient power, it
is argued, to not only conform to
the traditions of state policy, but
at the same time to meet the new
conditions brought about by an
ever-growing multitude of state
and social problems.
The difference in giving this
power by legislative act and con-
stitutional mandate is, as stated,
that the legislature can at any
time withdraw il in the one case,
and can not do so in the other
Those who oppose the granting of
this added power to the governor
do so for other reasons also than
the above. They contend that the
argument that all the other states
have given this power to the gov
ernor is not pertinent for the rea-
son that we have ever, as stated
above, kept, as far as possible, the
legislative and executive separate,
and that by comforting this power
this policy will have been aban-
dOned, and that the power given
