When America was being settled
many great walnut trees were cut
down to clear the land for homes
and a place to plant crops. Many q

Many, Of course, found their way to

used it extensively.
Selecting the walnut tree to cut

which enables the axeman not only
to cut the tree low to the ground but
to dig the stump as well. In this
stump is found the real beauty of
the walnut tree. 1t has often been

we think of the tremendous uses
of walnut 1t is indeed hard to con-
cede 1t.
Great quantities Of walnut are
used by furniture manufacturers.
Airplane factories use it extensively.
Panel work, Office partitions, gun
stacks, radio cabinets, automobile
manufacturers for turning out our
cars. pianos, counters and cases for
stores. The railroads use it in many
ways, such as tables, doors and trim

other uses. Walnut is a versatile
wood and always takes a perfect
finish, no matter what the finish

BY the OLD CABINETMAKER.

Following the Jacobean period,
Queen Mary assembled to the Eng
lish throne with her husband, Will
liam of Orange, bringing to Eng
land the influence of Holland
which was readily dictated to the
English craftsmen. From it emerged
a design much lighter in feeling and
more graceful than the Jacobean
school. 1t was really the beginning
of the Queen Anne style and earned
a definite period place in furniture
history. The woods used were oak
and walnut. The motifs were BEAU
tifully turned legs with inverted
cup turnings, s. curves, arched
tops AID gracefully designed stretch
ers and finals.
While 1t is true that the William
and Mary period was the actual be-
ginning of the Queen Anne style,
with the ascension of Queen Anne
in 1902 there began a development
of more beautiful lines and orna-
mentation. The Gabrielle leg orig
mated in China and was brought
over to England. A little later it was
carved with a shell ornament. The
ball and claw foot, also coming
from China, was added to the leg
and was symbolic of great dragon
holding a pearl. This type of leg
was put to multitude of uses.
Chairs became more graceful be-
ca11Se Cf jtS 1lSe and 11nho1SterinC
began to be used extensively, even
of the overstuffed type. The slip
seat such as is used today on dining
room chairs came into being at this
time. Veneering had been intro
duced little prior to this, and from
Holland came the art of marquetry.
Queen Anne style is best remem-
bered for graceful Gabrielle legs,
shell carving, bonnet-type cabi-

STRIKES DURING '39
FEWER THAN in 1888

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Strikes
in 1899 were 159 fewer than in 1898
and 2,127 fewer than in 1887, Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins re-
ported from figures compiled by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Approx
imately 1,171,O00 workers were in
volved in the 2,613 disputes last year,
one-fourth of which involved fewer
than 20 workers and more than one
third of which lasted less than a week,
Secretary Perkins report showed.
disputes over union organization
issues, such as recognition, discrim-
nation, union shop, ETC., were the
cause of 1,411 of the total strikes
the report said. "Wages and hours
were the issues in 500 of the strikes.
The remaining strikes were due to
rival union and jurisdictional disputes,
questions of seniority and lay-off poll
cies, division of work, job classified
tions, and other grievances. Less
than 6 per cent of the strikes were
due to rival union or jurisdictional
disputes.
"About Al per cent of the strikes
were settled by direct negotiations
between employers and union officials.
Government officials or boards as
sisted in negotiating settlements for
38 per cent of the strikes. In most
of the disputes in which an outside
agency interviewed, settlements were
reached through conciliation. Some
or all of the issues went to arbitra-
ton in SO of the total strikes ending
during the year."

LABOR INQUIRY BILL SIGNED

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS).-The State
Labor Relations Board must hence
forth investigate petition for col

employer, under terms of the Ives

Governor Lehman. The bill had the
approval of the labor board, explained
in memorandum which accompanied
the governors approval of the bill,
that it has investigated such requests,
although such action was discretion
ary. The board felt that there was
no harm in putting the employers
and employees on completely equal
basis in this respect.

When predatory beasts have made
their feed upon his carcass
For the ravening ones, whose life
continues only
So long as there are weaker ones,
on which to feed
Peace is the time required for di-
gestion.
Our civilized world has reverted to
the Jungle
He who speaks of peace within this
domain
Where law is only might; where
right rides on the sword
Is like a singing bird, however
beautiful
Surrounded by the fangs and
claws
Whose only safety lies in fight.
Gain of power: based on the loss
of others
That is the law of this Jungle; in
which there are some clearings-
Where, disguised by methods suave
and quieter-
The same law holds, and ravages
human lives
Until that Jungle Law is repealed,
potential war is everywhere
And Peace is dream, of poets and
of saints.

Charges contained in an article In

Archibald MacLeish. librarian Of

scholars who testified In a hearing
on the proposed purchase in 1890
that the price Of $1,500,000 was
"fair."
Concerning statements in the
magazine article written by Burton

this had been disclosed in 1894 by

an estimated value Of 5000, 900 on
