Perhaps this is one reason why the corre- spondents' corps generally re- frains from asking questions that might be considered embarrassing. Another reason doubtless is that newspapermen think it's sporting of Roosevelt to take on all com- CTS twice week, and that it's only sporting for them to consider certain questions out of bounds. No one would think of asking him, for instance, how he felt about the marital and commercial alli- ances of his children with the du Fonts and with Hearst.

upholstered in red and purple plush
and trimmed with crowned frames,
tufted backs and decorative gee-gaws
of the period, were included In a num-
Der of upholstered lines, and in some
instances were enlargements of group
ings first introduced in January. How
ever, while interest centered in these
d-timers, there was some discussion
whether the young matron furnishing
her first home, or the style conscious
dowager replacing antiquated furnish
ings, would respond to this revival Of
a style that was exiled from the living
room q quarter OF century ago.
An interesting development was the
return Of number OF enameled suites
finished in bone white, French white
and blond enamel The blond enamel
so closely resembled natural blond
wood that careful, closeup inspec-
ton was necessary to determine its
real nature.
Blue shadow glass for dresser tops,
| vanities tables and desks continued
to gain in popularity as well as leather
tops in colors to blend with the wood.
Leather was used as trimming on
dining room and bed room suites and
an increased number Of leather uphol-
stored chairs were shown. Top grain
leather ranging in color from deep
cherry to a golden lemon appeared on
all styles Of chairs, and in some
instances on davenpors and studio
couches.

SLOW SEEDLINGS SAVED
BY PLANTING METHOD

One need never destroy good seed
lings while doing early wedding
because OF inability to see clearly the
rows OF growing plants. A plan sug-
gested by experts OF the Ferry-Morse
Seed Breeding Institute is the plant
ing OF seeds OF rapid termination in
the same row with those Of slower
termination.
Thus, carrot or onion. for instance,
which are Of slow termination, may
be planted with radish or lettuce, both
OF which germinate with comparative
rapidity. The radish or lettuce,
springing up early-even as early as
the weeds-wiu mark the row effec-
lively so that 1t may be cultivated
without danger to the slower crop.
The early vegetable may be used while
the later seedlings are being thinned.
This policy of marking rows Is
desirable also because it gets away
from the practice Of placing sticks or
mounting papers at the row ends,
thereby making the garden less
attractive.

J. n Dagger to Be Financial
Adviser, With Offices in D. G.

Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator, today announced that
J. M. Dagger. special assistant to Mar

the Presidents Committee on Housing,
which developed the program under
which the Federal Housing Admins
tratim was established by Congress in
1884. Mr.. Eccles was at that time

modern suites in their selection and
few quality lines continue to stress

Southern Colonial suites with four
poster beds, dframed oval mirrors
and heavy spiral turnings In solid ma
hogany or mahogany veneer appeared
as open stock suites In a number Of
lines and were reported to have re-
ceived an excellent reception from
buyers in the South and Southwest.
New finishes on maple-blond colors,
honey shades and a new smoky tone
as we'll as -p)lored enamel trim and
new upholstery, excited a renewed
interest in this type Of furniture.
Fruit-colored leather slip seats were
used on chairs Of dinette and dining
room groups made Of blond and honey
maple, and oyster white and pastel
tinted oak; lemon yellow, orange,
raspberry, tangerine, lime green and
melon colors provided a fresh. new
accent note on this type Of furniture.
Larger Pieces Noted.
While the majority OF furniture
continues to be scaled to apartment
size, there was tendency to introduce
some Of the more massive pieces to
fill the demand for furniture for the
larger homes. A number of 54-nch
vanities, 98-inch tables and extra
large arm chairs made their appear

A new ambered walnut finish used
by one manufacturer on a complete
ensemble Of eighteenth century de-
signs embracing William and Mary,

OPERATORS OF
BOATSC CONDUCT
MEETING TODAY
REGISTER PROTEST AGAINST
PAYMENT OF TAX IN MEAS
URE ADOPTED BY LEGIsLA-
TURE

Operators of fishing and sponge
boats, and other craft affected
by the law passed at the recent
session of tire legislature and list
ed as Senate Bill 1889, declared
themselves unalterably opposed to
the payment of the tax imposed by
the law. This was the substance
of the meeting held this morning
at the Municipal sponge dock at
which there was a large number
of people present.
Milton Russell was nominated
chairman of the meeting and aft
er brief address introduced Luis
Avalo, who was arrested last week
and was to be given a hearing
this afternoon. Mr.. Avalo went
into the matter at once and voic-
ed his objection to paying the Ii
cense, citing that practically all
boats are gasoline-operated and
have to pay the seven cents road
tax, and never use the roads. The
portion Of the gasoline tax which
is allowed the schools is alright,
it was said by the speaker.
Mr.. Avalo was followed by Mr..
Russell, who briefly outlined bis
attitude of the operators of sponge
and fishing boats and declared
that nothing should be done to-
ward paying the license until the
matter had been taken to the su-
preme court and ruled on by that
tribunal, the highest in the state.
His hearers concurred.
Preparations are being made to
take this matter before the state
tribunal, and the attorney select
ed to handle the matter in Key
West, said he had been advised on
the best authority that several
other cities have decided to carry
the matter further. Included in
them we're: Panama City, Fort
Lauderdale, Miami and Miami
Beach
Announcement was made by
the secretary Of the Key West
Chamber of Commerce that the
body considered the boat tax as
seriously detrimental to the inter
ests of the city and county, and
to the interests of Florida gener-
ally. and viii do all in its power
to aid other Chambers of Com
merce in opposing it.

Relations between the President
and Congress have been as har-
monious as they were and the
evidence is that the country will
be called upon to pass upon the
issues between them. There is
no sign whatever that the Presi-
dent will retreat from the posi-
ton that he has taken, even on
the court reform proposal, and Con-
gressmen might as well get a'eady
to ta,.e care of their record when
they go home. Convinced that
the people of the nation are be-
hind his program, the Chief Exec
utive will probably conduct a
deliberate campaign to bolster
support during the fall with the
idea that, by next January, with
primaries and election day ahead,
many of those who now stand
against his political program viii
begin to see some new light.
