Direct responsibility" Gayda
warned, would fall on the Wash
ington government for the "reac-
ton" which such intervention
would provoke on the part of the
Axis and Japan.
Only Friday, a mysterious sea
raider flying first japanese and
then Nazi colors bombarded the
western Pacific, British-mandated
Islet of Nauru; in the Atlantic, a
Panama-registered tanker owned
by a Standard Oil subsidiary and
carrying an American crew was
sunk enroute to West Africa. Sat
urday, another Panama-registered
ship, the name not announced,
lodged a torpedo from an uniden-
titled submarine just outside the
neutral Azores harbor of Puenta
del Gada.
Gayda, like Berlin commentators
of yesterday, declared the dispatch
of American conveys to Ireland
would be an open violation Of
United States neutrality, tanta-
mount, in the Axis view, to the
beginning of United States inter
vention in the war. He indicated
the Axis powers would make
every effort to prevent such ships
from reaching their destinations.
Gayda said he did not see why
A m e C an ''interventionists"
wanted to "create an open conflict
between continents"
By sending conveys to Ireland,
these "interventionists'', he went
on, would thus be the starters of
the spread Of conflict from Europe
and the North Atlantic to the
western hemisphere, the Southern

directions on the eve of his re-

tinued, but "a considerable num-
Der of important personages" de-
sire to intensity aid to England
while seeking to escape the re.
sponsibility and risks Of direct
war initiative. Thus, he said, they
hope to leave this responsibility
to 1.-The natural and necessary re.

Naturally" Gayda asserted,

Furniture Designed
For Use in Small
Rooms Available
Moderate Size Pieces
No Less Comfortable,
But Cost Is Lower

Grand pianos are intended for big
rooms and so are many other pieces
Of furniture which are so designed
that they seem incongruous in the
small rooms Of many present-day
houses. Remember this when you
plan your new home and when you
purchase furniture for it.
There is much furniture being
built which is in proper scale for
small and medium sized rooms.
Small-scale furniture performs all
the functions of the larger sizes and
In no way adversely affects the
utilization of a room. For many
years period furniture sizes have
been more or less arbitrarily based
on earlier models built to be used
In houses twice the size of the aver
age 1910 new home. Sizes were
often inherited rather than calcu-
lated from modern use require
ments.
Comfortable and Cost Less.
Small-scale pieces will be particu-
larly helpful in the living and din
ing rooms. Little can be done about
the fixed sizes of beds, either double
or single. Upholstered pieces of
moderate size are no less comfort
able, but usually less expensive.
Davenports are gradually being re-
duced in size. Early sofas were often
built to accommodate four persons,
but few living rooms today can
handle a davenport longer than
- inches. From a use standpoint,
larger sofas are not necessary. Just
think how many times you have
seen more than two people sitting
on your sofa Occasional tables have
been growing smaller and lower
within the last few years. For mod
ern living an occasional or nom
dining table with any dimension
greater than 36 inches seems un-
necessary.
When a new home planner goes
into space-saving program the
dining room is frequently reduced
in size. because many persons con-
slider large dining area luxury.
The rub comes when moving day
arrives and an attempt is made to
place the old, large-size buffet in
the reduced dining area. Most fam
lilies need the dish storage space
available in a Sideboard and there
Is still a way to provide it without
taking the or feet of length
needed for a long. low piece. A dish

but taH will store just as many
dishes as the usual long. low piece
-. and work in a small room.
Corner Cupboard.
Another means of gaining storage
area without loss of much floor
space is the efficient corner cup
board. This type of storage uses
otherwise wasted space and, if built
In at the time the house is con-
structed, means just that much less
furniture.
When you buy the table for the
dining room be sure that it is of
such a size that, with chairs in
place. there is passage room back
of the chairs for any one who must
bring food to the table. Most of the
dining room suites ordinarily avail
able in the furniture stores contain
too many and too large pieces to
comfortably fit into room of less
than 12xl4 feet and still allow neces-
sary space for travel.

The widest range of any color
usable in interior decoration is found

Early American Theme.
For few years early American
furniture held the public eye and
1t was necessary to provide an
authentic background for the SIM
plicity of those designs. Artists and
designers searched the old houses
and the attics of New England,
scraping walls down to the plas-
ter, soaking OF samples of lovely
old hand-blocked patterns which
were carefully reproduced on rolls.
Old hat boxes and scrap books
brought to light the popular pat
terms of the small houses of New
England of early Colonial days and
a whole new color range came to
light the perfect foil for rubbed
down old maple and pine furniture.
Then fashion swerved to the ele-
gance of the 18th century with all
its deep toned damask and or
nately carved velvety mahogany.
Again it was wise to delve into the
archives and find out what was
used in the great houses of that
period. The restoration at Will
liamsburg unearthed many treas
ures. One of the larger wallpaper
companies offered a collection of
Colonial designs that were exceed
ingly fine, bringing to the purchaser
a museum collection OF papers from
the important houses of New Eng
land, New York, Maryland, Virginia
and the old South.
Mount Vernon Pattern.
Many exciting events took place
in the search for these old pat
terms, one OF which was the dis
covery of the original paper in
Washington's bedroom at Mount
Vernon. At one time there had
been a change in the contour OF
the room and when the house was
being restored to its original condi-
ton a whole section of paper was
uncovered where a new section of
wall had been placed over it. This
paper was carefully removed. copied
minutely as to design and color and
not only was the room at Mount
