berlain believed that he would du- plicatc, in speeding up aircraft re- armament, the job he did when as postmaster general he reorganized the entire postal administration with conspicuous success.
 William Ormsby- Gore resigned as colonial secretary because he had become Lord Harlech by reason of the death of his father, and trans ferred from the house of commons to the house of lords.
 Thus the cabinet lost two peers and members of the once powerful house of lords retained only six of the 22 cabinet portfolios.
 Malcolm Macdonald, dominions secretary, succeeded the new Lord Harlech as colonial minister. Nor mally, the dominions post is regard ed as of more importance than the colonial one.
 Macdonald Is Important
 But Macdonald was given the post with the mandate to study the colonial problem in relation to the demand of NaA Germany for col onieS-which makes the job far more important. Germany has in- dicated that no western European peace agreement is possible unless she is granted colonies. That Mac Donald was named to study the German demands was recognition of his success in negotiating a treaty with Ireland.
 The cabinet re-shuffle effected the government prepared for a de- bate Thursday on its airplane pol icy.

T YOW often have you wished for
IL Venetian blinds at your
windows, only to discourage
L L yourself with the thought:
But I'm only renting this apartment
or house-I can't afford them!"
Well, you can. You can get them
made of bristol board for only 81 a
window.
Not flimsy affairs at the mercy Of
the first summer storm either. these
cheap Venetian blinds. They are
made of something technically known
as highly calendared silica paper;
the stats are tubular in construction
so they won't warp or sag They are
put together with waterproof glue,
and we're told you actually can soak
the Stats in water without opening
them. The Stats bend, too, without
breaking
Each blind comes complete with the
hardware necessary for installation.
They are hung directly on the casing
of the window. with cord on either
side of the blind, same as in the regu-
lar sort of Venetian blind-the left
hand cord regulates the fitting Of the
slats-so you can screen out the sun
or let it trickle through the openings;
the right-hand cord lowers and raises
the blind
The blinds come in stock sizes,
seven different widths from % to IS
inches and IS inches long Custom
made ones any size you require up to
size SO by IS inches can be obtained
for $3.50; larger sizes sell at from Is
to 18 cents a square foot. To clean
them, you just brush them off or flap
the Stats one against the other. If
properly cared for, they should last
about two years. Then. for so cents,
you can get new set Of Stats.
MAYBE, like us at this season of the
year, you are more concerned
with bringing light out Of doors than
keeping light from pouring indoors.

BIDS PROCEDURE
TOPIC OF REPORT
Most Architects Will Not
Open Proposals With
Bidders Present.

Surveying the bidding procedure OF
architects in private contracts, the
Committee on Construction Industry
Relations Of the American Institute Of
Architects reports that a large ma
jority of architects do not open bids
in. the presence OF bidders. Some
architects, however, believe it desirable
to open bids In their presence as q
regular practice. according to the COM
mittee, Of which William Stanley
Parker Is chairman.
A majority of architects would have
no objection to contractors being
present at the time the bids are
opened, it was found But" the re-
port continues. 1.-The fact that still
stronger majority do not permit it in
dicates that the architects tend to
recognize the clients objection. al
though many replies indicate it is con-
venience rather than policy that de-
termines the practice. Lack OF space
in the Office for a large gathering or
the opening of bids at the clients
house or at committee meeting are
cited as reasons"
Open Posting Opposed.
A second conclusion Of the survey,
which was conducted at the request
of the Associated General Contractors
of America. is that notification to
bidders of the bids received Is not so
marked among architects. A very
large majority of architects, however,
said that they would not object to
sending contractors a list of bidders
and bids, or posting the list in their
Offices. A substantial majority of
those who now notify prefer mail and
oppose open posting in their Offices
Of the bids received.
A bare majority of architects said
that they have had requests from con-
tractors to be present at the opening
Of bids or to be advised as to the
names and amounts of the bids re-
ceived.
The final conclusion is that a strong
majority indicate no unwillingness on
the part of clients to having bidders
present at the opening, which again
suggests that convenience rather than
policy determines the architects prac-
tice in many cases.
Strong Convictions Expressed.
I'm general" the report declares,
there are strong opposing convictions
expressed as to the desirable policy.
Some claim 1t is the owners private
business and bidders have no rights
and If they were present it might make
possible undesirable and embarrassing
practices by some of the bidders.
"Others say it is only fair to bid
ders who have spent time and money
on the bid to be present at the OPEN

ing, and some admit the owner pre-
fers to open privately. so as to be able
to engage in subsequent negotiations
with less embarrassment. These ne
gotiations are not always improper
but merely the consideration of per-
sonalities and preferences.
1T appears to be falsely assumed
by many that the presence Of the
bidders at the opening means that
the owner must make the award i'm
mediately. This, of course, is not true
and contractors do not so claim. The
owner, having opened the bids. can
then take them under advisement.
This is all the contractors desire"
Out of 1900 answers received by
the committee in reply to its ques-
tionnaire, 357 returns have been ana
lyzed and reported. An added 300
returns have been analyzed which
show no significant difference in re-
suits.

Tax Sale in Doubt.
County Auditor Joseph E. Their
rien expressed the fear that the for
feited tax land sale already held
would be held illegal since an Aitkin
county judge had ruled the land
sale there illegal. If it is, then the
county is going to face an estimated
cost of $4,000 in serving notices on
the sales already made and those al
ready advertised However, it is
possible that the State Supreme Court
will reverse the Aitkin county courts
decision and in hat case more land
may be advertised for sale.
Mr.. Therrien is going ahead with
the sale of lands to voluntary pur-
chasers but no new lands will be adj
vertised until after the Supreme
Courts decision is made known which
is not expected before about the
first of the year. The hearing on
it will be held in September.
