INDIES PREPARE AGAINST PANIC
 IF WAR COMES
Cities to Be Evacuated Save for Workers in
 Emergency
By JOHN M. RALEIGH United Press Staff Correspondent

A1J 9WAAAN ANAe AbHhAAAaM ANAA United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Batavia, July 3l-CUP)-Dutch authorities in the Netherlands East 1ndies believe that evacuation of cities in the Indies, should invasion come, is so highly organized that . repetition of the panic that choked roads when the German legions thundered into Europe's Lowlands is impossible.
 we cannot evacuate everybody, 1" said an official of the Civil Planning Board, In whose hands the prob- lem rests. If our great population centerS were deserted industry in the Indies would come to a stand still," he pointed out.
 Native labor is one of the primary requisites needed to turn the wheels of production in Java during war time. If all the natives were allow ed to flee to the mountains, ammu- milton plants dockyard repairs, and manufacture of vital products would stop overnight.
 Guaru Agat1St DeSertt0nS
 Measures have been taken to in- sure against mass deSertion. When the Dutch believed that the Japan csc might invade Java last June during the dry season many hun- dreds of brown laborerS hurried to the hills.
 Factories closed. But soon the native workers returned. Their live- lihood was threatened.
 Soldiers may have to stand guard at factories. Some insist that this will not prevent workers from sneaking of after they have gone home. Few plants are so constructed that they can be turned into dormi- tories. However, several large con- cerns are making arrangements to house the majority of their em- ployes.
 An army officer expressed grave doubts es to whether the native laboring masses would remain al their posts, but he added that ways and means were available to main- tain skeleton crews in the shops despite the heaviest bombings.
 One point that is consistently dwelt upon when the problem is considered is that the natives seem to have real liking for the Dutch and that they would realize that their duty to country calls for sac- riflceS.
 Native Morale Reported High
 Native regents keep the people well informed on every happening of importance. This feature has built up native morale tremendously
 When the news that Holland was invaded spread through Borneo 6 settlement near the coast was sur. prised one day to see Q swarm oi back country warriors approaching in full tribal battle kit. They yelled wildly and brandtshed old fashioned guns and spears.
 It looked like an uprising, ent preparations for Q siege were made The chief asked to see the arm, post commander, and Q caution audience was granted. The trih had come to report for duty to 1igh the Germans. They had been f1v days on the way from the interior.
 The gesture was appreciated, ant explanations were offered. The ma tives were disappointed that no i'm mediate conflict was in sight. The! threw down their weapons and saic that if they couldn't fight, the leaS they could do was to offer theil arms.

Bride Urged to Choose Furniture
STANDARD Not Too Hord to Maintain

Venetian blinds will be good with
any period, though they do add a

The opening of the Paris EXposi-
ton OF 1887 was eagerly awaited by
the modern designers of every coun-
try. Memories of the style launched
by the Exposition of 1925 aroused
curiosity as to whether the creative
efforts of the succeeding II years
would result in new style as excit-
ing and stimulating as the inter
national" modern style. A careful
study of the exhibits showed that no
new style was presented, but new
trends in the development of modern
furniture were evident
Functionalism was still the strong
keynote of the designs, but it was
functional modern that was refined
in line, subdued in color and shorn
of all the crudeness and severity that
characterized the 1925 modern.
The outstanding exhibits were
those of Belgium, France and
Sweden.

The following letter to The Star
states in simple terms the problems
of SO many of us these days that 1t
may help a wider audience by
answering 1t In this column:
II am a young bride and my hus-
band and I are building a new
house. I don't know much about
furniture, but would like to furnish
my house in good taste. I am
worried about selecting the right
periods of furniture to 60 together.
I wanted to have a Chippendale
couch and bareback chair. Will
that be the same period as Duncan
Phyfe dining room furniture? Will
a catty-colner china cupboard fit in?
What type of bedroom furniture
would be the same period? Can you
tell me If Venetian blinds would
look odd with this type of furniture?
What kind of draperies or curtains
would be correct?"
The first advice the Home Clinic
might offer would be to 60 slowly
and avoid setting a standard of
elegance that will be too difficult to
maintain. Set your pattern to con-
form to the requirements OF your
own life and blend your periods to
get what you need by drawing from
both the past and the present.
To be more exact. starting with
the Chippendale sofa, the lovely
flowing curves on the back and arm
on a good Chippendale reproduction
are graceful and pleasing. But we
suggest you select the straight
legged style rather than the more
ornate curved leg with ball and
claw foot which demands the atmos-
phere of formal drawing room.
You may use the bareback chair
with this provided it is not too
clumsy; a better idea might be a
winged chair as more truly "of the
time"
Chippendale is earlier than Dun
can Phyfe. A judicious use of the
two periods, however, Is very nice.

ing
The reason for the easier heating,
which means using neat from the
burner faster and thus using less
fuel to obtain good results, is that
the water inside the elliptical tank
circulates more freely than in the
cylindrical tank with its long verti-
cal seam and separate dome or con-
cave and convex top and bottom
parts.
Rust proof, corrosion proof, with
a patented air intake at the top of
the heater that minimizes radiation

in three siZes-20, 80 and 40 gallons.

Montreal Six Almost
Ruined by Injuries
In First ) Tilts
Hopes to Replace AiIing
Stors Before BottIing
BIockhowks Thursday
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The National Hockey League sea-
son is only three games old, but
already Dick Irwin and his Mont
real Canadiens have suffered
enough tough luck to last them all
season.
Before the schedule even got un-
der way the Canadiens lost the
services of .Defenseman Kenny
Reardon. Then Montreal was
spilled by the Detroit Red Wings,
3 and 2, in its inaugural.
1t was while the game was be-
ing played that misfortune struck
again, and speedy Elmer Lach. a
rookie year ago who was expected
to head for stardom this season,
went to the sidelines for an indefl-
mite period with shattered elbow.
Last night Irwin was told that the
cash above Reardon's eye had de-
veloped a streptococcic infection
and that the defenseman also
would be unavailable for an indeh-
mite period.
Now the Canadien boss is look
ing for a center to replace Lach
and wouldn't mind finding a de-
fenseman to relieve Rookie Butch
Bouchard. who is subbing for the
absent Reardon.
He has until Saturday to find
the requirements. That night the
Canadiens are host to the Chicago
Blackhawks. The same evening the
Boston Bruins, Stanley Cup win
ners, play Toronto in the Canadian
city.
The entire league is idle until
Thursday night. when the Black
hawks make their bow at home
against the rejuvenated New York
Americans.
