~ ESPITE their ingenuity, inte-
rior decorators have been un-
able to design pillows that
- harmonic with modernistic
furniture. They offer us cubes, slabs
and wedges of upholstery that are
nicely suited to angular settings of
chromium and black glass But these
objects are not pillows. They are at
best mere cushions.
There are plenty of old-fashioned
homes, however, which are still in
tested with pillows worthy of the
name. Not many of the horrors of the
early 1900's survive, to be sure. It is
years since 1 have seen a velvet pillow
covered with isinglass spangles, or an
embroidered cake walk design in
which the dancers had zeal beads for
eyes. Burnt leather pillows with the
familiar Indians head are scarce to-
day, too.
But there are others, in profusion.
Although much has been written for
and against guest towels, no one has
ever given serious attention to guest
pillows. Yet every person who has
spent . night in a guest room must
have been confronted by the pillow
problem. Reduced to It's simplest
terms, the problem is whether to put
the head on the pillow or the pillow on
the floor.
The trouble with guest room pillows
as with guest room mattresses, is that
they never get sufficiently broken In.

Ignores Questions on Arrival
in New York-Missed
Death in Plane.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October e.-Former
President Herbert Hoover walked from
train to auto today and was whizzed
away to a hotel without a single word
crossing his lips.
Three times he was asked:
will you accept the 1886 Repub-
lican nomination."
The former President walked
straight ahead and looked straight
ahead, his former secretary, Lawrence
Richey. holding his arm.
He ignored all other questions as
well. He stopped at the track gates
in Grand Central Station long enough
to take of his hat in acknowledge
ment Of applause from a group Of
commuters who waited to see him.
To Stay Four or Five Days.
Richey, who met Hoover here, said
his former chief would attend a meet
ing of life insurance directorate to-
day and remain in the city four or
five days.
He was accompanied by his son
Allan and Ben S. Allen, who de-i
scribed himself as friend and neigh-|
Dor. The trio arrived on the Twentieth
Century.
The other members of his party said
Hoover regards the farm problem as
prime potential issue of the 1886
campaign, but will offer no sugges-
tions for a Republican plank until
the fate of the A. A. A. has been
settled.
To Speak as Issues Arise.
They said his course is laid to assist
In the development Of issues and
tender as titular chieftain Of the G. o.
P. what advice he believes might be
salutary for his party. The Oakland
speech on Government spending, they
said, was on an issue" already
developed.
AS others reach that stage, Mr..
Hoover will speak out, they added. AS
to the farm issue, that time will not
come until the Supreme Court has
ruled on pending A A A. causes.
The former President spent most CT
his few hours in Chicago on his way
here in the Office of his close friend,
Arch w. Shaw, publisher.
One member of his party disclosed
that the former Chief Executive had
planned, in the event that he missed
his train from Oakland Saturday
uight, to take the Sunday East-bound
United Air liner from there. He made
spare. The plane crashed near
Cheyenne, Wyo, killing IL persons.
