Ostrich Feathers Mart
Drop, Hurting Farmers

CAIRO.-Reminiscing on the prof.
liable pre-war years when the lady
Of fashion wore gossamer ostrich
feathers to conform with the mode,
ostrich farmers for more than a dec
ade have been bemoaning the fact
that dropping plumes have ceased
to be the vogue. Succinctly speaking,
however, they were not primarily in
terested In milady's hat, or accesso-
ries, but in the revenue which the
sale of these feathers brought in.
Back in 1918 sales ran about $10,O0O,-
900 per year, but the current total
Of $1,500,000 is so far below the peak
profits that ostrich farmers have been
in the doldrums.

Evidences of History

VEN1CE-venice attempts to prs,.
serve everything connected with rs
history. It's street names may be
puzzling today, but once many Of
them indicated the occupations of
their residents. Thus the "Frszzeria''
was so named because of the manu-
facturers of arrows who lived on it;
the "Spadaria" because of it's sword
forgers; the "Salizzada del Coraz-
zieri" because of its breastplate shops;
the "F'usieri" because of its spindle
makers. Gale degli Specchieri" was
so-called because mirrors were sold
there and the famous "Mercerie" re.
ceived that name because at one tims

This. the Litvinoff formula, has been
Endorsed by the most prominent au-
thorities on international law and is
actually in effect for all the countries,
neighbOrs of Russia, who have signed
non-aggression pacts with the Soviets.
1t defines as an aggressor state that
which, in an international conflict
is the first to commit any of the fol-
lowing actions:
/. Declaration of war upon another
state.
2. Invasion by its armed forces,
with or without declaration of war,
Of the territory, vessels or aircraft OF
another state.
8. Attack by it's land, naval or air
force, with or without declaration
of war, on the territory, vessels or air
craft OF another state.
L. Naval blockade of the coasts or
ports of another state.
S. Provision of support to armed
bands formed in its territory which
have invaded the territory of another
state. or refusal, Notwithstanding the
request of the invaded state, to take,
in its own territory, all the measures
in its power to deprive those bands OF
all assistance or protection.
Moreover, it is specified that "no
political, economic or other considers
tions may serve as an excuse or justifi-
cation for the aggressions referred to. "
In the Western Hemisphere the for
mula was ably seized and developed
by the authors Of the Mexican peace
code, which was submitted to the
Montevideo Conference of December
1888. Although the Mexican code was
not even discussed at Montevideo, but
merely recommended to the attention
Of the participating governments, the
definition of the aggressor was for
mally introduced into the deliberations
of the Buenos Aires Conference last
year by the Bolivian delegation.
Would Compel Action.
The Bolivian proposal went further
than all previous ones, for it suggested
that adherents bind themselves to
meet Immediately should a state OF
war exist between two or more Ameri-
can republics, identify the aggressol
without delay and apply severe sane
tions against it. Among such puni-
tive measures, it recommended sus-
pension Of diplomatic relations, ces-
sation Of all land, air and water COM
munication, prohibition Of any loans
or credits, and isolation from postal
and telegraphic communications.
Unfortunately. the Bolivian project
was not acted upon at Buenos Aires
Instead it was referred to the Com
mittee of Experts, which Is also study
ing the codification Of international
law in the Americas, to be reported
to the next Pan-American Conference
at Lima.
The attention of that learned grouT
of experts should be called to the
conditions which President Roosevelt
described in his Chicago address. Any
doubt as to the eficacy Of the Litvinof
formula may be removed by applying
1t to the Eastern and Western fronts
of what the President called "ths
present reign Of terror and interna.
tional lawlessness."

ways adored a Dutch Colonial type of
house. love its effect of lowness and
above all. the readiness with which it
lends itself to intimate homelike fur
nishings. Not only in my imagination
have furnished this house, but have
actually assembled many pieces dur
ing the years that we have moved from
one nondescript rented house to an
other. never once giving up the idea of
my dream house. And now the dream
is over and the reality is cruel since
we have inherited the most austere
type of Georgian house imaginable.
Eyes. know that Georgian and
Colonial are much the same, and that
might grow up to it if only we lived
on a scale suitable to such formal sur
roundings, and could furnish the
house as it ought to be furnished. But
the pieces had SO fondly collected are
small in size and comparatively primi-
tive in type. and they will be swal-
lowed up in the vastness of the rooms
as we'll as be unsuitable. don't like
great tall pieces of furniture. but as the
ceilings are very high and the two
rooms on either side of the precisely
dividing hall are large, they will prob
ably need big furniture. The staircase
is beautiful. but the whole aspect is
cold and unfriendly. My husband
describes the feeling he has when he
walks into the empty house as putting
top hat on country tweeds.
Is there any possible way we can
make this house more suitable to our
way of living. and more essentially
like we are?'
In answer. let me say that although
a Georgian house is to me the most
beautiful house in the world, it is true
that its requirements are very exact
ing for most of us.
However. it is possible to make
house of this most formal type invit-
ing and comfortable to live in. Let US

enter the house by the front door. My
first suggestion for the hall is that you
put very gay large patterned paper
on the wall. A pattern suggestive of a
chintz will, more than anything else
know, change the effect of austerity
to one of surprisingly homelike friend
liness. The chances are that one of the
pieces you have collected is chest.
This will look particularly well in the
hall, with high-backed chair on
either side and a mirror above. The
howered wall paper will need no further

make 1t seem smaller than a light
color. Chintz in this room should be
strong in design as well as color. and If
you want another direction for shrink
ing an effect of space. then choose a
color for the walls that has the warmth
of red in it.
You know of course that sofas and
chairs with slip-covers having box
pleated petticoats to the floor produce
a much more homelike effect than the
bare legs of furniture which is uphol-
stored. In your little low house the
petticoats would have been very ap-
pealing but not 80 essential. But why
do I 60 back to that little house of
your former dreams?
Choose ordinary lamps that throw
the light down rather than indirect
lighting. Lamp shades in either a deep
cream or pinkish tone share with an
open wood fire in creating a hospitable
and charming room.
A secretary or a break-front book
case. or both in this size of room.
would be the most beautiful pieces of
furniture you could choose. But they
would of course have to be in keepirg
with the furniture you say you already
have. On the other hand, as many high
built-in open bookcases as you can fill
or have wall space for would be equally
becoming, and if anything more effec-
tive. Or instead of having solid wall
wide bookcases, an arrangement,
which requires about half as many
books and also allows for the placing
of more furniture, is to have them
built as a frame surrounding a sofa or
writing table.
Another item which will take away
from the formality of your house is to
have crossed-over, tied-back' ruffled
curtains rather than those which hang
straight. "Crossed-over" means that
they are unusually wide and one cur
tain crosses over the other on the rod.
These apparently add to the width of
the window, especially when the cur
tains are looped back loosely and tied
low at the height of the window sill.
In your high-ceilinged rooms your
over-curtains should trail slightly on
the floor. The glass curtains come at
least to the top of the dashboard.
One last word: Although the sugges-
tions made are of course only tenta-
tive, I would like to emphasize the
importance of chintz and color and
books, which will help more than any
thing else to eliminate the feeling of
top hat" formality.

decoration. Or perhaps you would pre-
fer stiff sofa. or a console table be-
tween the two chairs? If you have the
table. put a lamp on it or otherwise
use standing one. A lamp shade, light
color and fairly large in size, will add
warmth.
Next I would suggest a plain carpet
on the floor and a matching runner up
the stairs, of a color that looks well
with your paper. If you prefer scatter
rugs, then get plain runner for the
stairs to tone in with the rugs.
An airy spacious dining room is al
ways pleasing. Again. a papered wall
will have more hospitable effect than
painted one. especially since this
ceiling is high. If this is a painted wall,
choose soft neutral color and hang
gay chintz curtains at the windows.
If you had portraits of ancestors to
hang on your walls, they would give
the desired effect of intimacy and your
curtains could be plain.
If you are getting new floor cover
ing for the dining room, figured car
pet is most practical. And let me re-
mind you too that a wide margin of
floor all around the big rug will make
your room seem smaller. In your sweet
little cottage a carpet from wall to wall
would have made your floor space
seem larger. But don't let's think
about thatl
Instead let us 60 into your drawing
room. which is to be turned into liv-
ing room. Here you could make the
ceiling look less high by bringing its
color down on the side walls, possibly
as far down as two feet. and then run
ming your picture molding around at
this height and putting the deeper
color of the wall from there down. If
there had been the beautiful cornice so
typical of Georgian drawing room.
then we of course would have left it
as it was. A chandelier would also
bring down the height of the ceiling.
Side brackets set fairly low and pic
lures hung low will have tendency
to lower the whole effect. Have the
lambrequins of the windows match the
material of the curtains, and have them
fairly deep.
In this room I would personally use
great deal of chintz to suggest a
room that is lived in, and to success
fully introduce your primitive furni-
ture to the room. Have one big rug
figured or plain. depending upon what
you finally choose for the wall and
hangings. Plain floor covering is al
ways safest especially if you are using
chintz. Too wide a margin of bare
floor. however. will make this room
look cold. A dark rug and floor will
