It's q happy day when We find
unusual, distinctive and inexpensive
furniture to make . modern house
or apartment more nvable. The
picture above illustrates several Of
the good looking articles which may
be found in q most attractive new
Washington shop. Designed by .
famous architect, they are the result
of many year, research in the use
of wood, q finer comprehension Of
the living requirements Of our day,
combined with the remarkable me-
chanical ability of modern produce
ton.
The wood screen is Of Eastwood
or gumwood strips fastened to q
heavy canvas backing. This may
be purchased in two heights, or
made up In any height or length. It
is unusually pliable and may be set
up to follow to curves Of the room
or to make a graceful curve. In a
one-room apartment they may
actually form partitions which may
be moved at will
The desk is a large and comfort
able table, which may be used as
such. with separate pedestal Of

can be placed on either side or re-
moved and used as q separate piece
Of furniture. The table top is in

of q humidity control unit.
Window Thermometer.
If winter comes, how can you
know it-looking out Of your win
dow of q sunny but frosty morn
ing? Must you depend upon the
frost on the window pane? Or will
you risk a cold in the head by
sticking your head out the window
to determine just how cold it is be-
fore you dress?
There is no need to be insure Of
the temperature when for 81 you
can get an outdoor thermometer
which attaches to the window pane
by means of rubber vacuum cups.
BY merely moistening the edges of
the cups and pressing them against
the pane from the outside the ther-
mometer can be installed in any
position for an indefinite period.
It is a small but good-looking
thermometer, made of q kind OF
plastic material, about which every
body is excited these days. 1t comes
with either dark red frame and
gold numerals or with a clear, cry
stal-like frame having red numer-
ais. It measures go by TX inches
over all. The tube containing the
red, easy-to-see spirit fluid, is of
magnifying glass, and the makers
of the thermometer assure US the
red is non-fading The thermometer
records temperatures from 10 de-
grees below zero to 100 above, quite
cold and warm enough for almost
any climate.
Put one on your bedroom window.

The Political Mill
Stop Campaigns Get Under Way
Before Purties' National Conventions

by law. K reforming, hard-hitting
district attorney is never q favorite
Of these gentlemen.
Some Of the Republican candi-
dates have already Travelled far and
wide IN order to let the American
voters have glimpse of them and
know their views on public questions.
Senator Taft was on the wing last
summer, and so was Senator Bridges.
Mr.. Dewey did not get underway
until winter was at hand. Senator
Vandenberg has done no barn storm
ing. Except for single speech, de-
livered in st. Paul last month, he
has kept of the stump. His dozen
years in Washington as Senator,
however, have made him widely
known-and he was not under the
necessity Of getting about so much
as the others.
A great deal of preliminary work
has been done for these candidates
and some Of 1t has already material
lied IN promised delegates. Sup
porters of Senator Taft, for example,
insist that he will have at least 800
delegate votes on the first ballot for
the presidential nomination when
the convention is under way. They
claim that he will have the practi-
cally solid delegations of Ohio, In
diana, West Virginia and Kentucky,
that he will have the support also
of nearly all the delegates from the
Southern States and that some of
the delegates from the West and the
North also will tie up with him.
Even in the New York delegation,
which presumably will be Dewey's
except for seven to a dozen dele
gates who may be pledged to Frank
Gannett, claims of Taft strength
are made.
Democratic hopes of Stopping"
President Roosevelt If he becomes
a candidate for a third term are
practically nil. He can be stopped
only by himself. The oficeholders
are doing their best to keep him
from standing in his own way.
Nevertheless, with Vice President
Garner as a rallying post, the anti
third-term Democrats are doing
what they can. Probably more is
being done than is visible to the
naked eye, for many Democrats who
do not wish third-term nomination
are also afraid to take an open stand
against it. Still come reports that
Postmaster General James A. Farley
will in the end refuse to join the
third-term brigade if and when the
President becomes a candidate. Up
to the present reading, however, the
President has pretty effectually
stopped" all other Democratic
candidates.

Schooner Piles Up on Reef;
Owner Is MISSING
By the Associated Press.

NEW ORLEANS, March ed
ward T. Maxey, Evansville, Ind, ad-
venturer who set out on a world
cruise, was missing today and his
36-foot schooner was wrecked on a
reef of Perdido Pass. about 20 miles
west of Pensacola, Fla.
The Coast Guard station at Santa
Rosa, Fla, reported that Maxey,
who had visions of encircung the
globe in his flimsy craft, was washed
overheard by a giant wave in the
Gulf of Mexico Tuesday.
His companion, r. w. Muetze of
Chicago who joined Maxey in New
Orleans, sailed the damaged craft to
the reef and summoned aid. He
said all attempts to rescue Maxey
failed.
Maxey with his wife and two
young daughters took three
month sail from their home down
the Mississippi River last fall and
arrived here on Christmas day
aboard their schooner, the Atlantis.
Two weeks ago he and Muetze left
Maxey's family in Baton Rouge, La,
and set forth on their cruise with
Key West, Fla, the first scheduled
stop.
The Atlantis was without auxiliary
motor but carried small outboard
motor for emergencies.
Maxey formerly was a musician
in q local orchestra at Evansville.

Il Colorado Miners Held
In Gold Ore Theft Plot
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. tt+- r'
TELLURIDE, Colo, March IA
story that miners carried chunks of
rich gold ore from two mines in this
Southwestern Colorado district and
disposed of them through a saloon
equipped with a basement concen-
tration mill Is under investigation
in Colorado's newest ''high-grading"
case.
Sheriff Guy Warrick of San
Miguel County said the story was
related by county Jail prisoner and
resulted in the arrest of IL men. He
estimated the thefts might involve
$4,000 to 100000 worth of ore.
District Attorney William F. Hay
wood of Grand Junction charged
the IL yesterday with conspiracy to
commit larceny and accepting stolen
goods.
Twenty-seven miners, Sheriff
Warrick said, have signed affidavits
admitting carrying gold ore, under
their coats or in lunch boxes, from
the Smuggler Union Mine and near
by Tom Boy Mine, both under lease
to the Veta Mines, Inc, of Denver.

Quoted by the National Labor Rela-

The issues to be settled were
whether the bus drivers wished to be

nance employees desired to be repre-
sented by the International Asso-

other employees of the company de-
sired to be represented by the Inter-
state Motor Transportation Union
or no union at all.
No decision was reached in the

to the fact that a number Of ballots

Union Veteran
Keeps Working

Washington's oldest Union vet

niversary today In an apartment
full of progeny, and from knowledge
gained through participation in one
war. building guns for two more
and listening to House debate on
the present European imbroglio,
philosophical: This is certainly a
very screwy war"
Col. John T. Ryan's feet have
bad ache" and for six weeks he
hasn't been around to the House
galleries, where he has been door,
keeper to the executive gallery for
IA years. His hearing isn't as good
as when he was showing apprentice
seamen how to handle guns in the
Navy Yard, where he retired after
80 years in 1920. But he still keeps
up with the news at his apartment,
119 Eighth street Sc.
"The Civil War was an awful
war;" he said. But we thought we
knew what we were fighting about.
Nowadays they don't seem to know
what they're doing"
Last known survivor of the battle
of Monocacy and one of four Of
the last remaining Union veterans
in the District, Col. Ryan has out
lasted several other veterans who
guarded gallery doors. And today
he made known his decision he
wouldn't "quit at the Capitol until
they put me away in a box" His
relatives, who arrived for the birth
day party, including 6 children, 10
grandchildren and great-grand-
children, appeared to have guessed
his decision.
Mrs. Ryan, tiny and spry-'I don't
want to tell my age" she said.
Mr.. Ryan, colonel" by virtue
of his offices in the Grand Army
of the Republic, was barely 18 years
old when he ran away from his
home in Baltimore to join the army.
His family were Southern sympa-
thizers. Two other brothers, Bill
and Joe, decided to fight for the
South, and it was John, a soldier IN
Company I, 18th Maryland Regi-
ment, who saved Bill from long
Imprisonment.
Bill was captured by the North
ern armies and his mother went
direct to President Lincoln with a
plea for mercy. ''The. boy under
Grant will save your son under Lee"
President Lincoln told her and Bill
was released.
Col. Ryan served through the bat
ties Of South Mountain, Frederick
and numerous skirmishes in ad-
dition to Monocacy. He came
through without a scratch. eyes,
sir. It seems like only yesterday
that my old outfit, under Gen. Lew
Wallace, STAYED of Gen. Jubal Early
and his. gallant Southerners from
their attack on the city of Wash
ington," he remarked.
After Appomattox, Mr.. Ryan spent
a year with the 9Th Cavalry and,
forgiven by his family, came to
Washington. He was an ironworker,
but his knowledge Of guns got him
the job of training seamen at the
Navy Yard for 20 years.
A Mason for u years, Mr.. Ryan
is now vice commander Of the Kit
Carson Post, Grand Army Of the
Republic.
