WASHLNGTON-Re OCOnnOr,

works administration informed him
it had withdrawn a $4,000 tenta-
tive allotment to Havre, Mont, for
a municipal gas plant. O'Connor
said the withdrawal resulted from
the city's failure 10 show satisfac-
torily that IL supply Of natural gas
was available.
The foregoing dispatch doubtless
marks fins" 10 the rather futile
attempt OF c. o. Moore, Kansas
City promoter, to have a cOmpeti-
tive gas system built in Havre. The
gas rates in Havre are among the
lowest in Montana and 95 per cent
of the residents use natural gas for
fuel.
1t was written into the agree
ment that the gas supply should be
within nine miles Of
Havre.. Nadeau Brothers drilled
three wells, none Of which had gas
in commercial quantities. Walter
Drought drilled a test south OF
town and Il failed to develop COM
mercial gas. Meantime. several ex-
tensions were granted to allow pro-
ponents Of the plan to develop a
supply sufficient to supply the town
for 20 years.
When It was apparent that a suf-
ficient supply could not be develop
ed within the specified radius, j.
Bland Catlett and A. d. HObson of
Beach. Cal, agreed 70

 southbury, Dec. 20-Traditional tranquility returned to this town to- day and the nightmare of notoriety rurtured by negotiatorS against Nazisn passed to private protestants aS the prosecution planned to punish Q pair of principals in the banned Bund became but bubble.
 Two Bundsmen, Gustav Korn, New Rochelle, N. Y, and Richard Koehler, Mount Vernon, N. Y, were freed of charges resulting from al. legged inffaction of the statute bar ring work on the Sabbath. Dihmissal of these charges came yesterday when Grand Juror Alrick '. Nelson leader of the constabulary delega- ton to the German American Bund property ct Kettdetown Dec. s, Sunday, declined to press the matter before Justice Harold Hicock who, called from his garage func" ton as judge, had held the men in SIS bond each for trial.
 Advised Dismissal
 Basil N. Bass, New York lawyer and summer resident, representing the mood of numerous other sum. iner estates owners here, was cred- tied with advising that the charges bc dropped. Thus, unless MT. Bass was SWearer to the warrants, the mystery of who Inspired recourse to the statute barring labor such as many in southbury find convenient of Sunday, remains Q mystery to most here.
 While some southburians have re. yelled In the flashing of news camera bulbs, interviews and com. ments to be quoted In press over tho land, a majority today expressed TO. lief that the fuss ig over. There OK" isted less than Q minority sympathy for George A. Holmes United Americans which, the former Ku Klux Klansman remarked, will hold m executive meeting tonight.

Helpful Tips
On Interior
Decorating
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: What is the
proper length for the glass cur
tains when the draperies at the same
windows hang practically to the floor?
Answer-If they hang straight
against the glass, then they usually
fall to the window sill. If they are
fairly heavy and hang at a distance
from the glass, then they fall to the
floor. If they are tied back. then
the ends fall either to the bottom of
the window frame or to the top of the
Dashboard. OF course. if there is a
radiator cover or a window seat, the
curtains necessarily stop at that.
NEAR MRS. POST: Will you sug-
gest wall decoration and floor COW
ering for a girls room? The room is
furnished with maple furniture of
early American style. The woodwork
Is white enamel and it has one north
and one east window.
Answer would paper the room
with a white ground paper that has
a gay floral design. Bright green and
pale yellow red are both particularly
hattering to maple. For the carpet
sand Is always safe, but bright green
might add to the gayety of the effect.

ManicureS at
Home Insure
Lovely Nails
May Equal or Exceed
the Professional
Treatment.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A THOUGH there's nothing more
luxurious than professional treat
ments, the home treatment can. in
many respects, equal and exceed the
benefits of the salon ritual.
The home manicure, for instance,
can be started at night before retir-
ing and finished the next morning and
in the intervening time oil allowed to
remain on the cuticle. The combina-
ton of the oil and massage will do
much to encourage healthy nail
growth, counteract ridges, tendency
to brittleness and breaking.
There are a number of new prepara-
tions on the market for this purpose.
The majority of them are in cream
form and are to be massaged over the
nail and particularly into the nail bed
and cuticle. But in the absence of
special preparation for this purpose.
the good old reliable warm olive oil
will do the trick nobly.
Let us review. rather briefly, the
manicure procedure. First remove
any remaining liquid polish, and for
the purpose do use one of the oily
removers instead of the older acid re-
movers. That done. shape the nails
with an emery board. Do not use
q file The countrys leading nail
specialists definitely caution against
the use of a file for shaping the nails.
They also caution against the use OF
steel instruments for cleaning the
nails. Use an orangewood stick in
stead Sharp instruments may injure
the delicate flesh beneath the nail and
leave the under part of the nail very
ragged. This not only makes the
nails more prone to breakage but once
ragged they are more likely to pick
up every bit of dust and dirt and have
it cling to the under surface.
After shaping the nail, use oil and
the fat part of the orangewood stick
to push back the cuticle. Try to avoid
cutting any part of the cuticle except
very ragged edges or hangnails. The
little habit of pushing back the cuticle
with towel after washing the hands
Is very worthwhile one. Not only
does it prove time saver in the long
run because the cuticle, after
while, does not need cutting) but in
addition the cuticle remains smooth,
even and there's not so much chance
Of hangnails and ragged edges pop
ping into view when least wanted.
If you are following this routine
at bedtime, buff the nails before re-
tiring, apply a little more oil or a
special nail preparation, maSsaging
we'll into nail bed, and leave the appli-
cation of the nail polish until the next
morning.
