1900 PAY VISIT
TO IDEAL HOUSE
Warmth of Real Living Is
Noted by Guests From
All Parts of U. S.

During the four-week period since
its opening on April Is, House and
Gardens Ideal House at Scarsdale,
n. Y, has welcomed more than 1000
visitors, who, according to the guest
register, have come from all parts of
the country to view this unique
project.
Interest in the Ideal House springs
In no small measure from the fact that
it is a real, hvable home in every re-
spect-one that from building mate
rials to furnishings can be repro
duced in its entirety in any repre-
sentative community in the United
States.
AS result, it serves to give present
and prospective home owners wealth
Of suggestions that they themselves
can carry out both in the matter of
building and furnishing their homes
and for landscaping their properties.
Mcdonald Among Visitors.
This aspect of the project was
commented upon particularly by
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator, when he visited the
Ideal House on the occasion of its
Federal opening. Mr.. Mcdonald ex-
pressed the belief that it was perhaps
the most important contribution to
stimulate the building of better homes
that he had encountered thus far
and that it likewise would go long
way toward encouraging every other
phase of property and home devel-
opment.
The Ideal House is of French Co.
lonial design and is situated in pleas
ant suburban surroundings on the
shore of small lake Though the
property is medium sized, with the
garden now in full bloom and the
landscaping effects fully achieved, it
gives the impression of SpaciousneSs
accented by variety of intimate,
surprise" vistas.
Decorative Notes Distinctive.
Perhaps the most unusual feature
of the entire undertaking has been
the pioneering decorative taste with
which its furnishing and interior
treatment were carried out. In many
of the rooms, the decorator set period
furniture against modern backgrounds
of new color harmonies and the
latest fabrics. thus showing how sue
cessfully and practically ones cher
ished family possessions may be
brought right up to the minute. A
particularly effective instance Of this
is seen in the library, where bleached
mahogany Chippendale reproductions
are placed in a modern setting OF
copper -colored suede walls, a deep
pile rug of the same shade and brush
ed-aluminum holdings Again. in the
living room, period and modern have
been strikingly combined. In accord
ance with the newest trend, the dra-
peries, curtains and carpet create o
monotone effect of gray, yet the furni-
ture is chiefly Chippendale mahog-
any. beautifully reproduced from mu-
scum originals.
Another notable characteristic of
the Ideal House is that it is not a
medley of tricky stage sets, crowded
full with expensive and hard-to obtain
merchandise. On the contrary, any
number Of representative department
stores throughout the country are
now staging facsimile exhibits of the
Ideal House rooms, in definite en-
phasis of the fact that every item of
building equipment and merchandise
used in the house was originally Sc
lected for its national availability.

Breadon, Card Prexy,
Has a Menagerie

In addition to owning the Cards, Sam
Breadon also has title to half dozen
saddle horses, II dogs, flock of guinea
pigs and a six-foot snake. The
Brooklyn training camp score card lists
eleven club officials, starting off with
Prexy Steve McKeever and winding
up with a scout named Melville G.
Logan. Ben Geraghty, the Villa.
nova basketball captain who is one of
the most promising of Dodger rockies,
studied journalism at college. Book
les, several of whom operate in the
New York rings are still being showed
around by the Miami Pinks. There
is some little discomfort at the Babe
Ruth homestead because so few pho
tographers drop around this year.
Torchy Koda, the very good Jap
anese golf pro who has been so popu-
lar with the galleries during his pres
emit tour. is only five feet tall and
weighs only 125 pounds. Charlie
O'Hearn, the Yale back who now
operates on Wall street, is the closest
pal of Tom Yawkey.
Joe Dimagsio, the most talked about
(and probably the best) ball player N
the South this spring. has found some
thing to worry about. This 10 the first
time he has been far away from the
family fireside and although he has
noted no symptoms as yet he fears that
he eventually will become homesiek.

Anti Chain Store Bill
Ouposed bv Witnesses


GENERAL witnesses who appeared
- before a senate subcommittee de.
clared that the Robinson-Patman anti
chain store bill, which has administra-
ton backing, would promote rather
than curb monopolies, increase the
cost and lower the standard Of living,
and decrease employment in whole in
dustrieS.
The hearing was on the Borah-Van
Mugs bill, a modification Of the Robin
son-Patman measure, but the witnesses
particularly attacked the latter. which
already has been reported favorably.
The house judiciary committee report
ed the UtterbacS bill, still another
modification of the Robinson-Patman
measure, and a hitter fight over the
proposed legislation Is expected.
The Robinson-Patman bill would pro-
hibit manufacturers from making price
determinations in favor Of large guam
tity purchasers, through advertising al
lowances, service charges, brokerage
fees, etc. The Borah-Nuys bill would
prohibit such allowances only when
they were refused to purchasers Of
goods of "like grade, quality, and
quantity"

600 by July 1.
The soil conservation subsidies are
to be paid to farmers who transfer
land from commercial crop production
to soil conserving growths, or who re-
sort to other Economic" farm prac-
tees. Officials said that the rehabilita.
ton clients already are under obliga-
ton to treat their soil wisely. Before
a family can obtain rehabilitation
loan it must agree to follow a farm
management plan drafted by the gov
eminent.
This plan stipulates that the borrow
er must conserve his lands fertility
and grow food and feed crops for home
consumption.
Tugwell indicated that examination
may show that the farm management
plan is so closely in accord with the
AAA's soil conservation aims that the
rehabilitation clients may already be
qualified to receive the AAA subsidies.

smaller fraction refused to go to the
polls Among the latter were the for
mer Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria
and his wife. . @
Hitler's. victory was thus extraor-
dinarily complete. and the Nazis cele-
brated 1t with wild rejoicings in Berlin
and other cities. 1t was the culmina-
ton Of three years campaign in
which the leaders sought to persuade
the population of the reich that only
Hitler could save the country from
great danger. According to Berlin cor
respondents, there was a difference of
opinion there as to the influence the
triumph would have on the fuehrer
Some said it would stiffen his back and
induce him to ride roughshod over the
powers which objected to his scrapping
of the Locarno pact. Others said the
election would make him feel so strong
he would be willing to make conces-
sion to his neighbors in an effort to
help establish the new order in Eu-
rope" to which he referred so frequent
~ in his election speeches.

OUR LOWLY CENT
NOW TRAVELS WITH
DIGNITY AND ECLAT

The humble and lowly cent, once
scorned, derlded and spurned, is now
embraced and welcomed back into
the American family purse. Never
In the history Of our present none
tary system has the cent achieved
such a volume of appreciation and
circulation.
Through the channels of trade 1t
goes on it's little mission of mercy.
Clever mechanical devices have been
invented to snare it and hold 1t mo-
mentarily, at least, in captivity. But
once released it continues its endless
journey here, there and everywhere.
Back in the boom days of prosperity
1t did not emerge into the marts Of
trade without a nickel or dime for
an escort. But today 1t travels alone,
respected and acclaimed
Through the labyrinth Of bargain
counters here and yonder, attractive
" priced merchandise flirts daily
with the cent. 1t cuts quite figure
In the shopping district. 1t Is es-
teemed by the wealthy as well as by
the poor. No longer is its habitat
confined to the Sunday school and
foreign missionary collection box.
Its domain has widened and length
ened. Its sphere of usefulness is I'M
limited. 1t chums with ease and
grace with nickels, dimes, quarters,
half-dollars and dollars. The cent
has influence these days INDIAN

same bill recently was reported favor
ably by the house committee.
Pending action by congress on the
measure, Secretary Perkins has been
holding up the deportation of some
$500 aliens mandatorily deportable I'M
der existing law, contending that they
are Hardship cases." Some are radi-
calls, some have criminal records, and
others entered the country illegally.
By Hardship cases" Secretary Perkins
means that they would be separated
from family ties or put to some other
inconvenience.
Senator Robert r. Reynolds Of North
Carolina, Democrat, not long ago at
tackled the action Of Secretary Perkins
in holding up the deportations and de-
nounced the pending bill as a "sham
and a mockery" and subterfuge to
shield all kinds of radicals, criminals,
and dependents unlawfully in this
country. ...4
Secretary Perkins refused to pro-
duce information respecting the $500
hardship" cases until Reynolds intro
duced a senate resolution. whereupon
she permitted him to examine the
records.

Government in Business
Decried bY Committee

a CCORDING to the committee on
a government competition with
private enterprise, whose report has
been made to the President, that prac-
tice is wholly destructive except in
situations where the public welfare
can only thus be served. 1.-THE govern
ment's function" the report said, sis
to protect economic activities Of its
citizens and not to supplant them"
The committee unanimously agreed
that only under the following condi-
lions is the government justified in
entering into competition with private
enterprise:
i. When required to assure adequate
preparation for, and creation of, the
facilities for national defense.
2. For the conservation of natural
resources.
8. When private enterprise fails to
conduct needed scientific research and
exploratory activities to advance in
dustrial development, or in the inter-
est Of public health and safety.
4. When private enterprise fails to
render a service necessary for the gen.
eral welfare.

Creyhound's Dinner Will
Cost You a Quarter

When in training the dogs are fed
when they are not racing they dine
at six o'clock On working
days (Florida has matinees as well
as evening performances) they must
wait until after the races If
you have a greyhound to dinner you
should give him raw hamburger,
ground coarsely but with all the fat
removed, pearl barley, spinach, toma-
toes, oatmeal, dog biscuit and hominy
grits You mix all this togeth-
er and, if it is very special occasion,
you add a few spoonsful of cod liver
oil . The ordinary portion
weighs a pound and a quarter, al
though some owners dish out rations
as heavy as two pounds The
average daily cost for dogs board
is 25 cents.
Sixty to sixty-four pounds lie the
ideal racing weight for a dog, but
there have been winners all the way
from forty-seven to seventy-four .
At the start of the season the weight
Of each dog is recorded When
competing in race his weight must
not vary by more than two pounds
from these recorded figures .
Similarly only pound and a half
weight variation is permitted from
his last weight.
This is to prevent cheating /.

perts will admit) when INSCRIPTIONS
owners would fill their favorites full
of food or water before race.
Other owners used to celebrate "Be

pering the pads of popular dogs feet.

New Processing Taxes
Ont of Revenue Bill

0NE Of the major features Of the
~ new tax program suggested by
President Roosevelt Is omitted from
the measure prepared by a house sub
committee and on which open hearings
were begun by the ways and means
committee. For political reasons it
was decided that the plan for new
processing taxes on farm and Compel
ing products should be abandoned. Mr..
Roosevelt's suggestion for ''windfall"
tax to recapture part of the refunded
or unpaid AAA processing levies was
accepted by the subcommittee.
A third suggestion of the President,
for graduated taxes on the portions of
incomes which corporations do not dis
tribute in dividends to stockholders,
was changed to provide levies on total
income of corporations varied accord
ing to percentages of profits put into
reserves.
The subcommittee agreed that the
corporation tax rates should be 80
drafted as to permit corporations, par
ticularly small ones, to build up re-
serves for lean years without being
compelled to pay comparatively high
taxes for the privilege Of doing so.
The subcommittee figured on col
lecting some $25,OO0,O00 from taxes on
dividends going to foreigners who own
stock in American corporations and
$S3,0OOOOO from temporary continue
ton of the capital stock and excess
profits taxes.

1.-THE Fuehrer says Germany does
not want to take anything from any
body, but he already had said that at
ter the Saar plebiscite. He then also
reaffirmed the Locarno treaty, which
since has been repudiated. In the name
of the integral sovereignty of the Ger
man people, does the Fuehrer intend,
when he thinks the moment favorable,
to bring up the Danzig question?
"When he proposes nonaggression
pact with Lithuania does he accept
definitely the status of Mcneil or is
he just stalling for time to prepare

right to possess and exploit colonies,

One Fight in A. F. of L.
Ended by Compromise

ONE of the big fights within the
~ American Federation of Labor
has been settled peacefully. 1t was
for control of the building trades de-
partment. In the past, building prof.
ects have been held up by strikes
growing out of arguments over which
of two unions should do a certain
piece of work. The peace pact pro-
vides for appointment of an impartial
referee to settle such arguments.
The pact also called for J. w. VIII
liams of the carpenters to head the
reorganization department, with M. J.
McDonough of the plasterers as Sec
retary-treasurer. Each has been the
leader of one of the warning factions
and each has styled himself as the
lawful department president.
