important men as Vice Premier

struction of Ford automobiles in the

In these circumstances how can
any one believe that there has been
any reconciliation between Stain and
the Russian people, especially as the
executions continue. With Karakhan
and Yenukidze it would seem that a
new series has commenced.

Merit System Changed.
During most of that time this de-
partment was stable There were not
many changes. Men appointed by
Maxim Litvinov and A. P. Rosengoltz
were left at their posts and promoted
according to merit During this last
year all that has been changed. Lit
vlnov is still there, titular head of the
foreign service. But of his three un-
dersecretaries, Sokolnikov is, in prison,
Karakhan was executed and Kres-
tinsky disappeared

only three remain, Maisky in London,
suritz in Paris and Troyanovsky in
Washington. 1t is curious fact that
all three came to the bolshevik side
after the revolution had been VIC
tor1ous, and it is worth recalling that
when Maisky was with Kolchak he
declared in an article that the civil
war must be continued until the boil
sheviks were exterminated, for only
in that way could the victory Of
democracy be assured.

There May Be Many Reasons for
Making Quilted Chair Pads.

Waxing Qu1lte0 Cna1r PADS.
IF ALL the reasons for quilted
I chair pads were lined up in or
der Of their Importance the most
intangible reason Of all might head
the list. Yes, it is quite likely
that any decorator, amateur or
professional would place atmos-
phere at the top. But then it is
also possible that first rating
might be given to the reason that
the pressure of stats across the
backs Of chairs is softened by
quilted pads. Then, though it
might not be mentioned, it is a
known fact that worn out cane
seats are sometimes replaced
with inexpensive composition
seats which may be disguised by
gay quilted pads. 8
Chintz, calico or gingham chair
pads are in fact one Of the sim
plest and most inexpensive ways
Of adding color and charm as well
as comfort to a room. Such pads
are often used on the backs Of
chairs and not on the seats, and
especially for side chairs, the seat
pads used without any back COW
ering. In making such small
things as these it is quite easy to
do the quilting on the machine.
Or, If you wish to take the other
point Of view about it, the work Of
quilting them by hand would not
consume an unreasonable amount
Of time. There is no doubt that
handwork has q certain quaint
ness that machine work lacks.
The pads shown here are made
with one layer Of sheet wadding
between the two layers Of the
chintz. The edge bindings and ties
are made Of bias tape. Cut the
three layers Of the pad material
exactly the size and shape you
want them to be when finished.

DEAD AT WHITE IRON.

Just as we go to press We learn that
Ernest Hernesmaa, aged 80, well known
in this city, had died at his farm home
at White Iron as the result of a gun
shot wound. No further particulars
have been learned. Deputy Sheriff
Dolenshak and Deputy Coroner Parker
went to the farm to investigate.
Hernesmaa returned three weeks ago
from Dixon, Illinois, where he had been
employed building log cabin on the
Wallgren estate.
