Aloconic, mo, not thing"
 Murphy, smiling asserted his op- timism, praised the spirit of the ns 1tiators. and announced the con- fc:ences would be resumed at 10 a. m. today.
 Lewis waved & hand to the gov- ernor when pressed for comment.
 The effort to find a basis for negotions toward a settlement of the strike now entering It's sixth week, went on in three quarters. Murphy sought seclusion with James Dewey, personal representative of Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins, to work on the developments of the day. Lewis met with the strikers board of strategy, and told 1t that he had not com- promised his demand for exclusive recognition. Knudsen went to the General Botors building and was understood to have reported by tele- phone to President Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., in New York.
 Murphy was believed to have been in communication with the White House.
 May Force Them Out
 Flint, Mich, Feb. 4.-(UP.-A writ of attachment to force the evacuation of sit-down strikers from General Motors plants here will be sought before Circuit Court Judge Paul V. Gadola today, Roy E. Brcwnell, General Motors law yer, announced.
 An injunction which became op- erative yesterday was ignored by the strikers. The next step for the company, the judge advised, would be to seek the writ, which would order the strikers to return to the company its goods, chattels and property" Brownell said the petition for the writ would be presented be- fore noon.
 Flint was calm today under a formal agreement wherein strike leaders and civil authorities pledged themselves to refrain from provoca- tive acts. But City Manager John M. Barringer began mobilization of a citizen special police force Of 1000 men to protect homes and prop erty."
 Common Sense Pledges
 Mayor Harold Bradshaw and La- bor Leaders Bob Travis and Roy Reuther, signed early today "com- mon sense" pledges which trans formed the city from a hot-bed Of rumors and invective to almost nor- nal calm.
 They agreed that:
 u).-Fiye hundred special police men who were to have been mobil- ized by noon will not be called.
 (2)-Crowds of strikers and sym pathizers wko yesterday thronged the streets near strike bound Gen. eral Motors plants and paraded through downtown sections will confine their demonstrations within limits of the law.
 Despite this agreement, Barringer later announced that the recruits, ranging from 20 to 90 will gather in an undisclosed assembly hall this forenoon to be sworn in as special reserve policemen. They will be in- structed briefly in what will be ex- pccted of them during any strike disorders. Their idert!ties will re- main secret until the time comes for them to function under the d. rection of the regular police force and authorities deem too small to cope with the present situation.

 Tn this connection Senator George T. Culhane also introduced two bills at the request of the Waterbury Bar Association.
 One provides that no person, cor- poration, trust company or individ- ual employed by these groups shall draw bill or appear as an atto.:- ney in tho Probate Court unless he or she is practicing attorney. Penalties are provided in the form of $200 fine or 90 days in jail.
 The second bill provides that no person, corporation, trust company or individual employed by these groups shall appear for claimant or respondent before the compensa- ton commissioner unless he or she IS 6 duly practicing lawyer. The same penalties cover this.
 A large batch if bills were forth coming from Rep. Thoms today at the request of the Connecticut Motor Stage association. Senator Joseph H. Lawlor introduced the same ones in the senate.

together the considerable number of
dahlia enthusiasts in the Washington
area. incidentally for the everyday
gardener. the prospective show in
September will again provide an OPP
portunity to see the finest in this Won
derful family of flowers.
With regard to the handling of
cyclamen bulbs, Canadian Horticulture
points out that this plant is evergreen
by nature and should be kept growing
all the year. From the cessation of
Towering until August, the plants
should be given just enough water to
keep them growing slowly. When the
new leaves and flower buds begin to
appear, the plants should be repotted.
It is rather strange that the dahlia,
first discovered in the mountains of
Mexico, should derive its name from
q Swedish botaniSt. Andreas Dahl,
who did not even discover the plant,
but did, however, do much to encour-
age its improvement into garden
flower after it had been brought to
Europe. 1t is far cry from the
simple flowers that were first OBJ
served in Mexico to the gorgeous
blooms OF the present-day varieties.
Most OF the improvement has been
made In the last few years. One can
but wonder what the plant breeders
OF the future have left to do with the
dahla.

BY DOROTHY DUCAS AND
ELIZABETH GORDON.

THAT old darling of interior dec
grafton, the venetian blind,
keeps right on improving her
a self. Every year, it seems,
changes for the better are made in the
Slated coverings of windows without
which no house or apartment looks
truly modern.
The latest improvement is in the
bundling of the Stats. There is now a
venetian blind which, when you pull
1t up, folds into a ridiculously small
amount of space: the 4-foot blind
reduces itself to a finch bundle
the 5-foot blind to 8-inch, the 6-foot
to a 9-inch, and so forth.
It may sound, off-hand, like a very
minor betterment, but consider that
venetian blinds, punched together at
the top of window, can block a lot
OF air which, in the dog days that
lie ahead, might make the difference
between comfort and discomfort. Be-
sides. the small bundling looks much
trimmer, suits much better the modern
type of decors.
The blind we have in mind, besides
folding up small, has all the operating
hardware hidden in a metal box ON
top. The Stats are made of high-grade
Oregon white cedar, which will not
warp or cup, and can be kept clean
| with mere wipe of a wool brush or
cloth. There are no exposed brackets,
no fitting bar, no light lines between
the head member and the blinds Stats.
The folder-up blind is compact
horizontal rectangle, and very good
looking.
Another feature of the blind, which
the manufactures are aWfully proud
OF, is the separate locking cord. This
means that you can raise or lower
the blind to the exact spot you wish
1t, without that side-pull which makes
the cord catch" at the top. The
catching while effective, shortens
the life Of the cord, for friction wears
1t down in time. The automatic lock-
ing device means you won't have to
replace the cord for years and years.
There is an improved type OF bracket
construction which makes the blind
easy to install and to remove In case
you wish to clean or repaint the wood
work. And a new spring catch with
guards for your fingers.
A selection from a range Of IL
standard colors Of stats and II stand
ard colors of tapes is offered, besides
large variety of beautiful color com
bmatlons, including a new idea called

Most Valuable Poem

Philippe Desportes died at six
ty-one, having achieved immortal
reputation as the highest paid poet
in history. Desportes, an ecclesias-
tic and diplomat apparently well
deserving of the title of diplomat,
was asked by King Henry III of
France to write verse with which
the royal lover could pay tribute to
his sweetheart. Desportes' poem
had only three lines, but Henry III
was so pleased he rewarded him
with the title to four abbeys which
brought in Desportes a total reve-
nue. of $1,000, 900. In those days the
abbeys derived a share of the in
come of every person in the district.
