Veneers Add Strength And
Beauty to Fine Furniture

Although solid woods are fea-
tured in much of the new furni-
ture being shown this season, es-
pecially in modern, veneer con-
struction still remains one of the
most dependable beautiful and
unusual effects in fine furniture.
Contrary to the popular mis-
conception that veneered furni-
ture is inferior to solid construc-
ton, the fact is that most of the
fine furniture of antiquity that
has been preserved through CEN
turies of wear and hard usage, is
veneered furniture. Construction
of many thin layers of wood. as
veneer is, it contains a fiexibility
and strength that is seldom ap-
preached in solid woods. Veneer
construction is in many ways
stronger than solid. On the other
hand many beautiful surface pat
terms can only be attained by the
cutting and matching of veneers.
In addition to the increase SER
viceability and greater artistry
possible with veneers, the factor
of economy is an important one,
at least for the average homemak-
er. The beautiful finishes and
grain patterns that are found in
moderate priced furniture today
are only possible at so low cost
because veneers are used. Many
veneer panels may be cut from
one piece of solid wood, which if
used in one piece would boost the
price of the finished product SO
high that the average home could
not afford it. So while veneering

ARRANGING THE ROOM

Instead of shifting the piano,
davenport, and secretary from one
one side of the room to the other
to see how they will look, cut
strictly to scale a little floor plan,
with fireplace, doors and win
dows, precisely marked off. Move
about on its bits of paper cut ex-
actly to represent the various
pieces of furniture. Marking an
axis in the center of each wall of
your floor plan will make it cas-
ier for you to see whether various
groups or pieces balance. Placing
the biggest pieces first often sim
plifies the job.
Corners should have something
in them-something light or
bright if you wish the room to
look larger.

LET THERE BE LOTS
OF LIGHT, NO GLARE

The modern home should have
many lamps and enough light, but
never glasing lamps. The lights
themselves should always be well
concealed by the shades. Glaring
white light is almost never desir-
able. but always shades and tones
Of colored light. Never group
lamps SO they become punched
and center the light. The entire
room should be lighted softly and
equally.

COMFORT MAIN AIM
IN CHAIR YOU BUY

No home can boast of too many
comfortable chairs, but we can all
agree that many homes shelter too
many chairs of the uncomfortable
variety. The ideal situation is to
have every chair in the house a
comfortable one. There are
enough styles and designs to make
this easily possible. So if you're
going to buy a chair, look first for
comfort.

FOLDING BRIDGE SET
HAS MANY HOME USES

There is probably no piece of
furniture in the home which has
so many convenient uses as the
folding bridge table. In addition to
serving as the battle ground for
an occasional evening game, it
makes an excellent play table for
the kiddies, and a good writing
desk for homework after school.
1t also serves as a first rate sewing
table.

PREPARAT|ONS0N
Donovan to Examine Re-
quests of Department
Heads Tomorrow. f..

Preparation Of a proposed 1888 Dis
trict budget will be started tomorrow
by Budget Officer Daniel J. Donovan
with examination Of requests for ap-
preparations from municipal depart
ment heads.
Prospects are that budgetary pro-
posals will be slashed rather heavily
before they are adopted by the Com
missioners and forwarded to the
Budget Bureau. Because the District
faces an expected deficit Of some
S960,00 at the end of this fiscal year,
the Commissioners recently warned
department executives to adopt poll
cies of strict economy.
The Commissioners will publish de-
tails of the department proposals so
the public may have opportunity to
study them. Later, Commissioner
Hazen plans to call public hearing
for discussion Of needs. Thereafter
the Commissioners estimates will 20
to the bureau, to be forwarded to
Congress next January by President
Roosevelt.
Last year the department. heads
requested items totaling s54,971,351.
The Commissioners slashed more than
100000 from this sum in sending
the bill to the Budget Bureau. There
the total was cut by more than
$4,000, 900.
Publication Of the department
heads requests Is scheduled to be
started this week,

W.P.A. EMPLOYEES
FIGHT D|SM|SSALS
Seniority Rights Disregard
ed, Charges Lodge 139
of Federation.

w. P. A. Lodge 139. American
Federation of Government Employees,
was planning action yesterday to pre-
vent the discharge of additional en-
ployes from the Project Control Divi-
sion of the Works Progress Admins
tration.
Following the recent dismissal of
80 additional employees the union
charged that w. P. A. officials had
broken faith by disregarding the
seniority rights Of many of the dis
charged clerks. Within the past six
weeks about 100 employees have been
laid of in the division which is un-
dergoing q period Of reorganization.
Would Go to Williams.
The Grievance Committee Of the
union announced last night it would
carry the fight to halt dismissals to
Deputy Administrator Aubrey Will
liams unless given satisfaction by the
Personnel Committee of w. P. A.
The union claimed that other
clerks are being hired in almost equal
numbers, while employees are being
laid off. w. P. A. officials, denying
this, said that only a few persons
were hired from the outside to fill
administrative positions for which
none of the discharged employees were
capable Of qualifying.
w. p. A. Lodge 139 will carry its
protest as far as necessary to obtain
q just personnel policy in the Project
Control Division and in w. p. A." q
statement said.
Many employees in the Project Con-
troll Division have complained to the
union about the manner in which the
present arbitrary diSmiSsalS are TAX
ing place. The administration insists
that hiring was done from the out
side to increase efficiency. The union
pointed out the inadequacy of such
an argument"
Promise Not Kept.
The union committee claimed that
w. P. A. officials promised to be
guided by seniority rights in any dis
missal
THE result of the survey on dis
missals made by the union indicates
that the standards of seniority have
been violated" the union protested.

$169,OOO,OOO Chunk
OF u. S. Debt Costs
Nothing in Interest
Represents MMured Sc.
curities Not Yet
Redeemed.

Year in, year out, there is one little
chunk of the public debt that costs
the Government nothing.
Interest payments on other Govern
ment obligations run to nearly three
quarters Of a billion dollars year, but
on this Particular Indebtedness, the
rate, once running as high in some
cases as Az percent, Is now zero.
It consists of Government bonds
and other securities which have
reasl1ed their maturity dates, but have
not been presented for redemption.
Interest payments cease with ma
turity.
At the close of the last fiscal year,
a month ago, the total Of such securi-
ties still outstanding was $169,0O0, 900.
As the years pass some of the old
bonds and notes are turned in for con-
version into cash, but meanwhile
other issues reach maturity with a
fraction of each remaining unre-
deemed.
During the last fiscal year more old
securities were presented for redemp-
tion than the total of new maturities
not turned into cash by their holders.
Thus the total shrank by $71, 900, ,000
In the year previous, the reverse was
the case and the total grew. 1t has
stood as high as 100000.
The bulk of the old unredeemed
debt now consists of the various liberty
and victory loan bonds issues. On
June 80 they totaled $106. 100000.

AUTO SALESMAN VICTIM
OF SNATCHING RACKET
Starts to Make Change for "Pros-
pect," Who Grabs $54
and Runs.

William Dunn, an automobile sales
man for the Simmons Motor Co.. COM
planned to police last night that he had
been a victim Of f1ourishing new
racket, which cost him $54.
Dunn said a prospect" told him to
come to house in the downtown Sec
tion to complete deal for an auto
mobile. When Dunn arrived he was
greeted by q colored man, who said
he had a large bill for which he
needed change. As Dunn took his
money from his pocket the man
snatched $54 and ran.
Police said they have had reports
OF several similar cases and expect
to take the thief into custody soon.
Benjamin Patterson, service man
for vending machine company, re-
ported $125 in collections stolen from
his truck at Third and G street while
ne was in a store. Police are looking

LOAN ASSOCIATION
INQUIRY CONTINUES
Call for Claims May Be Next
Step of Receiver Named
by Controller.

Examination Of the closed Fidelity
Building g. Loan Association has not
been completed. and it probably will
be some time before any definite state
ment can be made concerning the
progress of the examination by the
receiver.
This was learned from an authorita-
tive source. as persons who had put
their money in the institution anx-
iously made inquiries concerning the
associations condition.
The receiver appointed by the con-
troller of the currency has not yet
progressed far enough in the prepara-
ton of the records to open the doors
of the association to the public, even
for consultation, it was said.
Call for Claims Likely.
The next step probably will be call
by the receiver for creditors to file
their claims There Is no indication
now as to when this call may be issued.
After the claims are all filed by
creditors, including depositors. the re-
ceiver will check them against the
records of the institution and then
check these records against the cash
and other assets.
Should it then be decided to XQui-
date the institution, as the controller
has the right to do. dividend would
be declared to all creditors on pro
rata basis, so that each would get the
same percentage.
Commitments a Problem.
One of the problems occupying at
tention of the receiver at the moment
is what to do about substantial COM
mitments to contractors who are build
ing houses. Under these commit
ments made before the institution was
closed, the contractors were to re-
ceive further payments from time to
time. Under the law and regulations
it now remains within the admins
trative discretion Of the receiver and
the controller to make or to refuse
to make further payments under the
original commitments. The question
involved in further payments Is that
Of protecting the equity which the
Fidelity already has in tncompleted
buildings.
