RADIO TAKES THE PLACE OF FIREPLACE THE MODERN HOME

expositions of new furnishings for the
home, is a good time to start
Start with a plan. Plan to get the
most out of every room. Plan dec
orative scheme for each room. Plan
the major furnishings to be of good
quality, so that they will give long
satisfaction. Plan to add, little by lit
tie, year by year. Watching the house
grow in completeness and beauty is
part of the fun. Plan to furnish in a
way that will express your personal
ity and your family life.
Essential Pieces First.
Good furniture and good floor COW
erings are major essentials that
should be given early consideration.
Start with the pieces that are really
essential, add wool pile floor cover
ings, for quiet, beauty and comfort,
and you are well on the way to sue
cessful room ensembles.
1t is a good idea to sit down with
pencil and paper and draw a floor
plan of each room. You don't have to
be an architect to do this. But your
plan will help you decide how many
pieces you need, and what kind, and
their placing. In your plan, arrange
the furniture to take greatest advan-
tage of wall space, window and door
openings, to allow free and easy cir
culation, and, at the same time, pro
vide for every use to which the room
will be put. Plan on a carpet or rug of
a size that will fill the room, either
from wall to wall or with a narrow,
neat border of floor all around.
Decide on the general charter OF
YOUR decorative scheme. If you are a
brave young modernist, you will pro-
badly want modern furniture. Today
good modern furniture, simply and
honestly made, is available at reason
able prices. And the space-saving
pieces. the sectional bookcases and
sofas that fit around corners and
make interesting out-inthe-room ar
rangements, are especially appropriate
to the small home
Choice for Traditionalists.
If you are a traditionalist, you will
undoubtedly choose one of the two
favorite period styles: 18th Century or
Early American The first has dig
nifty. .graciousness that has proved
itself over the centuries; the second
is unexcelled for informal coziness
and charm.
But whatever style you choose as
dominant, re sure to select pieces that
are IN keeping with your room sizes.
Today the great styles of the past are
reproduced in small-scale pieces to fit
he average room. A huge overstuffed
sofa will crowd small room; it's
much better to select smaller piece
with lighter lines that will be COM
Portable as we'll as appropriate.
Certain types of pieces are espe-
cially useful in the small home. a

STAGE DESIGNER NOW
GLORIFIES BABY BED

How important furniture exclusive
Nv for children has become in the
scheme of things is reflected in the
fact that the man who designed stage
settings for several editions of the
'sZiegfeld Follies" was recently en-
gagged to design backgrounds for the
display of furniture of this type. And
he's now busily engaged in clarifying
the American baby bed!'

Speaking Of the Supreme Court, which we
stir into our coffee every morning and absorb
with each 5 o'clock cup Of tea or cocktail it
was Justice Hughes, himself, who remarked the
other day that the country had become Supreme
Court conscious.
However, said the Justice, there were still
certain aspects of the court on which the people
might be more uptodate. For instance, that
very morning, he had had letter from gentle
man from Indiana addressed like this: John
Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States"
And as for the new Justice, Hugo Black, the
Republican National Committee says he's their
favorite character and threaten to hang large
picture Of his beside that lonely one of ALI
Landon in their sumptuous headquarters.
Diplomacy and Politics
Diplomacy and politics usually can meet any
awkwardnesS with smiling face But the
Soviet Embassy still has its uncomfortable social
moments. Senator Arthur Vandenburg, the
present pillar of Repubicanism, and his clever
wife, Hazel are not invited to the red and gold
Soviet mansion on Sixteenth Street. When the
Soviet was asking for the recognition of the
United States, Senator Vandenburg made a
speech on the floor of the Senate which said,
Don't give it to them" Even if this frankness
had not hurt the Soviet feelings, Senator and
Mrs. Vandenburg would not accept caviar and
champagne. The Senator still doesn't feel coy
with the Soviet.
An Old WaShingtonian wept on my bowed

To Make Way For NeuU Man
This left the situation ripe for just such a
hotheaded public break as has developed in the
Democratic party. Lowden was pressed into
service to get them together, and when they got
together they found they were not as far apart
as they thought.
The idea now seems to be that they both will
get out, as friends, when the new man appears.
Who the new man will be is not vet clear
Senator Vandenberg is logical one, liked by all
factions, not tied up with any. He is practically
alone out in front in the trial heat so far bit
somehow the leaders cannot make UP their minds
yet whether he will run away with the race or
the race with him. Another who is being dis

misunderstanding which was cleared up before
1t reached the limelight.
Varying versions are being told inside the
party, but the most authoritative one is this:
Hoover, in talking among friends recently,
indicated he wanted to get out of active Re-
publican politics, but would not do it until he
knew the new party leadership was safe. What
he had in mind was the possibility that the
party might fall into the hands Of people like
Mr.. Roosevelt's southpaws.
But the idea got around within the inner
party circle, and finally reached Landon, in such
a way as to suggest that Hoover would not
get out unless Landon did. Then certain busy.

the change would relieve the strain

the property could not be used for

POLICE GUARD
ALL TRUCKS OF
TRANSFER firm
5 Arrested in Strike
For Higher Wages

Police today watched all Mer-
chants Transfer and Storage Com
pany trucks as more than 100
truck drivers entered the second
day of their strike for higher wages
and better working conditions.
Five men were arrested yester.
day as police scout cars were
rushed to the aid of the COM
panys trucks several times.
Strikers snatched ignition keys
and ripped ignition wires in their
efforts to prevent the company's
trucks from making deliveries
throughout the city.
DEMAND HIGHER PAY
Several squads of the strikers
cruised about the city in efforts
to persuade the company's newly.
hired drivers to join in the strike
movement.
Demands made by the striking
men were for $27.5O as the weekly
pay scale for drivers, $21.60 for
helpers and a 48-hour working
week for all employees.
TELLS OF WAGES
Charles Bell, a delegate for the
employees of the company who are
affiliated with Transfers Local
No. 500, said that his fellow work.
ers have no agreement with the
company at the present time and
that the drivers have received only
from SIS to $40 weekly and the
helpers from SO to $12 weekly. The
men often work from SO to 80 hours
a week, Bell declared.
Two Of the five men arrested
were charged and later released
on bond to appear in court tomor-
row. Those charged are David A.
Norman, %. OF the 400 block of
Riggs Road, charged with destruc-
ton of private property, and
James Rucker, 81, colored, of the
900 block of Twenty-fifth st.
N. w., charged with assault.
PARCEL POST USED
Meanwhile, to assure prompt
delivery of small packages on
which immediate delivery was
promised, several of the city's de-
partment stores which use the
Merchants Transfer Company's
service regularly were today using
parcel post service.
Officials at the transfer COM
pany where the strike was called,
said today that their service was
continuing with the newly-hired
drivers and helpers manning the
trucks and making deliveries.
They admitted, however, that
they had requested the depart
ment stores to give them orders
for only essential deliveries at
this time.

POLICE COURT
jam AMAZES.
REP.PALM|SANO.
Says Magistrate
Bill Would Aid

Amazed by the crowded condi-
tions in the District Police Court,
which he visited today, Represent
alive Vincent Palmisano CD of
Maryland, chairman of the House
District Committee, announced he
would revive the magistrate court
bill at the next session of the Con-
gress.
Under the provisions of the
measure, which was introduced in
the Congress at the seventy-fourth
session on the suggestion of for
mer Corporation Counsel E. Bar
rett Prettyman, four magistrates
would be appointed to handle
petty police matters.
FAILED TO PASS
Although the bill was reported
favorably by the House District
Committee, under the chairman.
ship of Representative Mary T.
Norton, of New Jersey, it failed to
pass.
Palmisano said today:
II never saw such hustle and
annoyance in a court in my life,
as I witnessed at the District
Police Court today. All kinds
of cases were being handled and
the Corporation Counsel and
District attorneys were swamped
by persons interested in cases,
most of them of a petty nature.
II think will revive former
Corporation Counsel Pretty

courts similar to the ones in
the District police stations in
Baltimore. The magistrates

stand they thought it might
mean reduction in the number
of judges in the District. 1t has
not worked out this way in Bal

and IL judges in the higher
courts.

condition will be Strengthened

When the Duke of Windsor comes to this

little Tyrolean costume and show the working

I'd like to suggest also that, although his

at the moment, he probably would learn more
about the problems Of the working classes in
Camden, N. j., or Fall River, Mass, than in the
Green Spring Valley, or even Warrenton.
