Stools Before Chairs

Chairs, which we take for granted
nowadays, were not in common use
until the last part of the Seventeenth
century. Before that time hard
wooden stools were the only seating
conveniences known. Museums pre-
serve some of the first chairs of his
tory, stiff, uncomfortable objects of
puritan austerity. The backs were of
solid wood, often in carved design,
and the seats, too, were solid. They
were known as 'wainscott" chairs.

The veteran Mississippi lawmaker,

Since the trio took to the stump

Harrison, Bilbo and Conner, lacking
a major issue, have campaigned almost
entirely on personalities. They have

100000 AIRPORT
WORK UNOPPOSED
Arlington Not to Fight Plan
if Access to Bridge Is
Unimpaired.

There will be no opposition from
the Arlington County Board to the
$1,000 Washington Airport con-
struction program announced yester-
day 50 long as access to Highway
Bridge from the county is not cut
on, it was indicated today by mem
bers of the board.
The airport announcement that
system Of paved runways is to be
constructed at once, one Of them cut
ting across Military road, was dis
cussed informally by members of the
county board at meeting today. It
was explained by board members that
there Is no change in their determin-
alton to fight any closing of Military
road unless q substitute bypass road
is constructed to provide an approach
to Highway Bridge.
It Is not believed, however, that the
runway construction program will in
terfere with the use of Military road
by motor vehicles.
Members of the board were advised
informally by Commonwealth Attor-
ney Lawrence w. Douglas that it was
to the best interests Of the county and
the Commonwealth to see to it that
Washington Airport remains in oper-
alton by private interests and that
nothing should be done by the county
to interfere with the development and
operation Of the air terminal
Douglas pointed out that the present
airport is very profitable to the county
and State as source Of tax revenues.
He voiced the opinion that when de-
velopment work now in progress or
about to be undertaken at the airport
Is completed, the combined county and
State taxes paid by the airport cor
poration would pay in one year the
cost of constructing a bypass road
present Military road traffic.
1t is Of primary importance to Arl-
ington County to see to it that the
airport remains in private ownership,
Douglas indicated. He pointed out
that if the airport were to be taken
over by the Federal Government the
county and State at once would lose q
very large amount in taxes.
1t Is the opinion of George NJ Yeat-
man, chairman of the County Board,
that the, county is entitled to better

Maryland Meeting Agrees on
Providing Funds for w. P.
A. Certificates
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, August 24.-Mary-
land counties agreed today to provide
funds for certifying needy workers for
Works Progress Administration prof.
ects.
The agreement was reached at a
meeting of county welfare boards,
county commissioners and Board of
State Aid and Charities here.
The meeting continued with dis
cussion Of the method of financing the
distribution Of surplus commodities.
Drain Upon Costs.
Francis H. Dryden, State w. P. A.
head. said that the w. P. A. could
not continue to distribute these COM
modities because too much OF the
costs was going for other purposes
than labor.
Under the agreement reached for
certification, the county commission
ers or welfare boards will provide
from their funds for a part or full
time worker to investigate applications
for w. p. A. jobs and approve the
applicants for employment If they are
actually in need.
This means that needy persons
wanting Federal work relief jobs will
apply to the County Welfare Board
or the county commissioners and that
the investigation of the applicants
status will be made by these bodies.
Regulations Changed.
Former regulations, requiring that
the applicant actually be on relief
rolls, were changed this Summer to
permit the employment of any person
in need.
Dryden said that the W. P. A. would
be willing to take certiflcations from
the county commissioners if the board
were ''honest in what it's doing and
sincere"
