A furniture term that is con-
stantly being brought to the atten-
ton Of the purchasing public today,
particularly that part interested in
chests, dressers and the like, is
dust proofing' or "dust-proof cases. u
Although the use Of this term may
be confusing, its meaning is definite.
It refers to a comparatively recent
development in the construction of
q chest Of drawers.
Previous to dust proofing," the
structural parts Of a chest Of drawers
consisted of the case. or frame. and
the drawers. Each drawer was fitted
into the space provided for it upon
rails or runners which facilitated its
movement.
Dust proofing has not changed the
structure, but has added to its serv-
ice and stability. It consists Of in

the rails upon which the drawer

Roosevelt Revives
Hope for District
Army Day Parade
President and Stimson
To Discuss Possibility
Of Holding Event

Possibility that Washington will
have an Army Day parade after
all arose today as President Roose-
velt planned to seek Secretary of
War Stimson's views on the matter
Customary plans for such a
parade were cancelled at War De-
partment request on the grounds
that concentration of crowds In
wartime Is dangerous and that
there would be difficulty getting
troop units here to form parade
line. The President said yesterday
afternoon that marines might be
brought up from Quantico.
A general announcement from the
War Department yesterday stated
the Army would cooperate "wher-
ever possible" in parade plans OF
civic groups.
"A special effort will be made to
show the various components Of the
Army to the people" the announce
ment said. "All commanders have
been ordered to cooperate with
ClVlC SlOupo SpoilSOl lIiS Vic OOSCAN-
ance In accordance with the Presi-
dents Army Day proclamation"
1t. Gen. Lesley j. McNair, COM
manding general Of the Army
Ground Forces, was preparing plan
to show the Army at work without
interfering with war operations or
divulging military secrets.
The announcement did not refer
to Washington or any other specific
locality.
Mr.. Roosevelt told a conference
week ago that he would like to
see more parades and feel that
there is more enthusiasm about the
war effort. 1t was when he was
informed that New York, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh are planning pa
rades on the day of April 6 that
he indicated his intention to dis
cuss with Secretary Stimson a re-
versal of the War Department
ruling.

RAILROAD ISSUES
MOVE FORWARD
Carriers Are By Far The
Most Active OF Any
Groups On Market

NEW YORK, May 22.-tPLRail-
road issues gave a good account
in todays bond market, many ad-
vancing fractions to point or
more as the general list held in a
narrow range.
Reversing early the trend OF the
two previous sessions, carrier ob-
legations were by far the most ac-
tive of any group and many closed
with the days full improvement
intact despite some profit taking
The Associated Press average of
20 rails gained 2 of a point. Other
components of the index showed
little change. Total sales of 81, ,037,-
900, par value, compared with $8,-
536, $50 on Thursday.
Issues well up in front included
New Haven convertible IS at 80 IL
and Is at 80 3-4, New England
Railroad. As at 70 IA, Denver, Rio

U. S. Governments turned firm
er on the stock exchange in late
dealings and finished up 2-32 to
1882 of a point. The trend also
was better over the counter, es-
pecially among the older tax ex-
empts.
Some Scandinavian loans, includ-
ing Denmark LIS and IS, moved
up early and then faded after Pres
ident Roosevelt said it looked like
"a long war. New South Wales IS

SAFETY RAZORS
FROZEN BY WPB
All In Hands OF Manufac-
turers And Jobbers Must
Go To Armed Services

WASHINGTON, May o. Up -
The War Production Board today
prohibited sale and delivery of all
safety razors now in the hands Of
manufacturers and jobbers, and
ordered them made available to
the armed services.
Retail stores are not affected by

fective at 2:01 a. m. Eastern War

WPB disclosed that razor manu-
facturers, denied the use of cop
per, thus far have been unable to
supply the Army and Navy with
razors made of substitute mater
ials.
Officials said that the Army
would need about 100000 razors a
month during the next two months
and that the only means of meet
ing this demand was diversion Of
all except retail stocks.
Meanwhile, manufacturers ex
pect to develop war razor" with

Officers May Be Forced
To Live On Army Posts

Army officers may be forced by
tire ration amendments to live at
their posts, county ration board Of
ficials indicated Friday.
Under the new amendment it
will be very difficult for the off
GERS to secure new tires, officials
said, and many of the Army Of
ficers in this area are residing at
Wrightsville Beach and Carolina
Beach. Without tires, their "B'
gasoline ration cards will be OF
little use.
Under the new regulation, the
local board is informed that as
a general practice certificates for
tires should not be issued to Army
officers to permit them to travel
from their residences to their posts
of duty or to perform travel neces-
STATED by a transfer from one post
of duty to another.
But in certain infrequent situa-
tons, Army officers are being as
signed to duty at industrial plants,
construction projects, or similar
areas where quarters cannot be
provided and where the personal
ly owned automobile of the officer
constitutes the only available
means of transportation. The War
department has agreed to have all
applications for certificates, in
such cases, reviewed by the SEN
ior Commanding Officer Of the post
or area having jurisdiction over
the functions performed by the Of
ficer.
The ration board may grant a
certificate only when an applicant
accompanies his application with

ing Officer which sets out the fol-

ATTEMPTED RALLY

Corn And Oats Gains,
However, Stick Despite
Markets Selling Wave

CHICAGO, May o. up -
Wheat tried to recover from six
months low prices today but the
rally was nipped in the bud by re-
newa1 of selling late in the session.
Corn and oats gains stuck, how
ever, the latter pushing up a full
cent after yesterdays sharp set
back.
Short covering and scattered
buying credited to mills disclosed
the wheat pit to be temporarily
bare of offerings early in the day
and prices moved up almost cent.
Later, when this buying was salts
fled, the market fell as much as
1N cents from the highs or to net
losses of almost a cent in some
cases, equaling or exceeding lows
established yesterday. Failure OF
flour demand to revive despite low
prices and the big crop and scarce
storage situation remained as Dear
ish factors.
