To take care Of this unfortunate con-
dition you can install q system Of
handy shoe holders, clothing hooks
and hangers which will bring about 4
superb orderliness from that jumbled
dumping place.
These devices are supplied in = COM
plete set which are attached to the
inside Of the door with nothing more
elaborate than q screwdriver. You
have q choice of some 80 different
closet accessories, including shoe racks,
hat holders, tie racks, trouser and
skirt holders, and If your clothes are
used to residing on common hooks,
which throw the best clothes into q
strange distortion, they will welcome
these handy little fixtures.
The business Of keeping a clothes
hanger pole is often problem in many
closets, and we have heard OF some
closets where new pole was neces-
sary almost every other day. This is
a pretty extreme case, but what could
be more irritating than having q pole
come hurtling down with a great
array OF newly pressed garments to
the bottom OF the closet.
To prevent this unfortunate OCCUR
renee you can now install a metal pole
which operates In the manner Of 4
conventional telescope, without, Of
course, the lens and eyepiece. The old
difficulty OF having to cut = piece of
the pole with home saw has been
done away with. You merely pull out
enough pole to f1t into the end pieces
which are supplied with the wall SUD-

at either end. When you have chosen
the location OF the door you merely
bend the little steel strip mite so
that 1t slips under the door, and it will
be held in that position, the rubber
blocks working in either direction.
You will flnd that holder Of this sort
VIII lend new Importance to the door
IN your home. You will find that you
can control ventilation effectively with
them, and eliminate many OF the un-
comfortable drafts which heretofore
made you uncomfortable.
Then If you take a look in the
average closet you will find a disor-
oered mass OF clothing, shoes, hats
and golf sticks filling It to the hrim.

- OF the numerous places about
your home where some small,
4 inexpensive device would be
particularly convenient? It's hard to
understand why so many people go on
living without those gadgets which
would save great deal OF trouble
and time, but possibly it Is only be-
cause they don't happen to know that
those little time-savers are available.
Take for example the relatively SIM
pie art of keeping door open in some
predetermined position-are you able
to make any Of the doors in your home
stay partially opened. Without the
aid OF giant cast iron dog or cat, or
possibly brick covered with heavy
cloth you weren't able even to keep
the door wide open If any breeze was
blowing. OF course, by placing a de-
vice of that sort on either side of the
door it could be controlled satisfactor-

Dyer today stood indicted on three
counts of first degree murder.
The 32-year-old WPA worker
appeared before an extraordinary

peated his horror confession,
wept, tainted, and was carried
back to his solitary cell. =,
His shakineSS gone, he started
calmly to tell the II jurors how
he garroted and attacked Made
line Everett, 8; her sister, Melba,
7, and jeanette Stephens, 8.
He described in detail how he
lured the children to the hills by
telling them he would take them
rabbit hunting, how he strangled
each in turn and then attacked
them. Later he attempted to plead
guilty to the indictment, but this
plea was denied on the grounds
he has as yet no counsel.
He tainted and was carried back
to his cell. Here he is under con-
slant guard guard to protect
him from possible mob violence

EUROPE SEES
SLIM CHANCE
OF i. 5. AID
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright. 1887, by International
News Service

LONDON, July IA stern warn
ing that Europe must mend its
ways If it wants American help in
restoring world economic recovery
and stabilizing peace has been is
sued by President Roosevelt, &C
cording to word brought to Lon
don by Premier Paul van iceland
of Belgium, who arrived here after
talking with the American Presl-
dent in Washington.
International News Service
learned on high authority today
that President RooSevelt'S warning
was so strong that Van Zeeland'S
mission to Washington-to sound
out the United States on world
problems is generally regarded
in French and British quarters as
a failure.
France and Britain take this
view because they hold out little
hope of obtaining, in the immedi-
ate future, the European economic
and political appeaSement de-
manded by President Roosevelt as
a prerequisite to American help.
The President informed Van
iceland he is not willing to sum-
mon a world economic conference
or give any definite assurance of
American assistance in economic
rehabilitation of Europe until the
Old World shows definite evidence
of willingness to abandon extreme
economic nationaliSm and its
policy of militarism, and to CO.
operate in the mutual interests OF
the world as whole.
If Van iceland, supported by
Britain and France, succeeds in
inducing western Europe to curb
economic warfare and militarism,
President Roosevelt said the United
States is prepared to cooperate,
economically and politically, as
she never cooperated with Europe
before in peace time.
