Glass Objects for Windows.
Nor do the Cape Cedders neces-
sarily follow the idea of matching
drapes and slipcovers. Simple white
ruf1ed curtains are frequently used
or cottage curtains.
For a bit of color at the windows,
they use brightly-hued glass objects
on window shelves-such as goblets,
decanters, or small vases in shades
of blue, green, red, purple or amber.
Then there's the matter of slip
covers. In many New England
home, cottons, such as calico and
similar materials, are used. So. if
you are interested in experimenting
with this idea, look for materials on
the dress goods counters as well as
in the regular slipcovers depart
ments. The thrifty, small figured
patterns are expert at making a
room look honey and informal.
Big Rugs, Little Rugs.
Cape Cod interiors are always
casual. Hooked and braided rugs
help give this effect. Round ones,
oval ones, square ones. Big ones,
little ones. It doesn't matter. But
it is nice to have colors that blend
we'll together.
Both these types of rugs can be
bought, of course, or easily made,
provided you have the materials.
And it's amazing how much old ma
terial you can collect if you ram
sack your own and your neighbors
attics, and attend rummage sales.
Spatter floors are especially at
tractive. Ugly floors can be painted
in red, or black, or deep blue, for
instance. After the base coat is
applied, paint in a contrasting color
is spattered around in tiny dots and
the floor is then vanished.
Brass and pewter are popular on
Cape Cod, as well as copper. Other
touches include patchwork quilts,
or crocheted bedspreads.
It's not hard to give your home
the quaint charm of Cape Cod cot
tage. And, if you like the informal
ity, it's one of the most practical
ways to decorate.

Safety Lock.
A manufacturer has designed
new safety lock, made entirely OF
steel, which is automatic and snaps
in place every time the door is
closed. 1t still allows the door to be
opened 3 inches without being
manually disengaged.
There is a double-locking, solid
steel bolt that operates with simple
finger touch and keeps the door
locked with double security. A lock
ing attachment mounted on the steel
folding hinge, when pivoted, allows
the door to remain open inches, at
fording protected ventilation and
safety in answering the door to un-
known callers.
Five-pin tumbler cyclinders, COM

The lock is easy to install and Is

Appeals to Prejudice

An appeal TO prejudice in South Carolina,
which was successful, has attracted at
tention throughout this country and even
abroad. But a contemporaneous appeal
to prejudice in washington, which was
not successful, has attracted little, II any,
attention. Yet, of the two, it may well be
that the local incident is the more sig
nificant, and it certainly is just as worthy
Of being brought to public notice.
The South Carolina episode, OF course,
had to do with the lynching trial at Green
willie, In which twenty-six white men,
despite a vigorous prosecution, were ac-
Quilted Of the lynch murder OF a Negro.
The defense consisted almost entirely OF
an appeal to racial and sectional preJu-
dices. Counsel for the accused called upon
the Jury to rebuke Northern interference;
to show them that it's no use meddling
in Greenville County" And although the
presiding Judge tried hard to keep it out,
the race issue was dragged into the trial,
by innuendo If not openly. The defendants
were set free.
At almost the same time, defense built
on prejudice, though in somewhat differ
ent form, was being put forward in
Federal courtroom in the Nations Capital.
Carl Marzani, alleged Communist, was on
trial for having made false statements to
Government examiners. OF the six men
and six women in the jury box, nine were
Negroes. And the defense attorney, IN
an appeal apparently aimed at these
Jurors, wove his argument for acquittal
around the issue of prejudice.
He said that he was tired Of persecution.
"You know what that means" he told the
Jurors. "You have lived here. I don't
have to tell you what persecution is. But
there comes time when you get tired OF
It," Ard again-"Carl Marzani knows no
distinction in race or creed-if that makes
you a Communist, then am one"
It was an appeal that failed. Perhaps
the Negro jurors even resented 1t. In any
event a verdict of guilty on all eleven
counts of the indictment was returned by
the jury in short order.
The members of the Marzani jury, 1t is
true, were merely doing their duty as good
citizens. But 1t would have been an easy
thing for the colored jurors, or some OF
them, to have let themselves be swayed
by the suggestion that they and Marzanl
were alike victims of persecution. Had any
of them been disposed to heed the prompt
ings Of prejudice, they might easily nave
refused to vote for the conviction OF the
defendant who had been pictured as
fellow sufferer.
But the Marzani Jurors, colored and
white alike, were deaf to that appeal, and
they decided the case on the facts and the
law as they understood them. In doing
80 they not only measured up to their
responsibility as American citizens; they
also set an example which will make some
impression, however small, on the wall OF
ignorance and hatred which must De
broken down before the ends OF justice
can be served with equal fidelity every
where in this country.

A Strono Naval Reserve

The far-sighted action of the House
Appropriations Committee in approving
the full $100,0O0,0oO budget estimate for
the Naval Reserve undoubtedly will serve
as stimulus to the Nationwide Naval
this month and next. The committee is
in complete agreement with the Navy De-
partment and with defense authorities
generally as to the urgency of building up
and maintaining what it describes as "a
strong, enthusiastic" Reserve, trained to
respond quickly and effectively in an
emergency.
A potentially powerful citizen Navy, like
the citizen Army, is vital necessity unless
we are to maintain in time of peace the
costly uniformed forces and armament
required in war. AS the demobilization of
our wartime Navy has proceeded-at times
with disturbing rapidity-the Navy De-
partment prudently has redoubled its
efforts to keep string on combat-wise
separates by inducing them to join one
of the three main Naval Reserve COM
ponents. These are the Organized Re
serve, to consist of 224,000 officers and
men ready for immediate action at all
times; the Volunteer Reserve of 100000
officers and men to be called to duty later
as ship, and shore station billets become
available and the Merchant Marine Re-
serve, composed of 1880 officers who
follow the sea as profession and who
would man fleet auxiliaries.
The Reserve recruiting program began
Il -.
progressing encouragingly ever since, with
the blessing of Congress. In fact, the
House committee fondly refers to the Naval
Reserve as its pet project" 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that the committee
evidenced great interest at the hearings
in Reserve developments and that no cut
was made in the sum requested to carry
the program forward unremittingly. The
current recruiting campaign deserves the
fullest support of the people generally, for
its primary aim is the strengthening of
national security.

No Job for q Mediocrity

It is not surprising that President
Truman has been having some dlfncuity
in finding a man to administer the Amer
lean aid program in Greece. The job calls
for high qualifications, but several likely
candidates with such qualifications are
unavailable, either because they are un-
willing to serve or for other reasons. In the
circumstances Mr. Truman can hardly be
criticized for failing to have made selec-
ton up to now.
Whoever is finally named will have re-
sponsibilities of an exceptional klno. Inc
turkish end of the program will be rela-
lively easy, consisting Of little more than
supervising the supply of military equip
ment-a task to be carried out under tne
general direction of our Ambassador at
Ankara The G eek aid, however, calls 1or
a complicated procedure. 1t involves heip
and advice of q military nature, and an
economic program designed to promote the
country,s recovery and political stability.
To put 1t into effective operation Will re-
ouire large American mission whose head
ought obviously to have outstanding execu-
tive talent and governmental "knoW-hoW
The prime objective of this administrator
will be to make sure that our aid is not
misused or wasted, that 1t is employed to
serve Greece as a whole and not any
faction, and that it will contribute mate
rally to the revival of the Greek economy
and to the nourishment of Greek de-
mocracy, which at present is scarcely
exemplary. Accordingly, our American
mission will have to play an active advisory
and supervisory role-a role which the
Athens government wants and expects it
to play. This means that our counsel will
deal with a complex of military, political
and economic factors. In an economic
sense, for example 1t may well call for an
effort to install rationing system and
new taxing structure, both calculated to
remove conditions impeding the country'S
recovery. ....
This states the problem in oversimplified
form. The administrator to be appointed
by the President will face many difficulties,
and not the least of them may have to do
With getting Greece to put his advice into

Hurting the Veterans Cause

Veterans who cheat the Government by
engaging in what appears to be a wide
spread subsistence racket are also cheating
themselves and their former comrades-in-
arms. The prevalence of such double
benefit frauds as have been uncovered BY
the Veterans Administration Is bound to
imperil the whole veterans aid program.
Certainly the efforts of friends Of the vet
erans to obtain larger benefits for them
will have harder going as result.
A Veterans Administration spokesman
estimates that some 100000 World War
II veterans, through fraud or possibly
through misunderstanding, have collected
unemployment or subsistence payments
not due them. 1t is hard to believe that
cases involving repeated acceptance of
double payments result from any mis-
understanding, however. 1t Is inconceiv-
able that veteran who regularly cashes
unemployment and college subsistence
checks, as many have done, is innocent
of any sense of wrongdoing. Jobless pay
ments are supposed to enable a man to
live while seeking employment. He is not
seeking job If he is going to school under
the CT program. Yet routine check OF
District unemployment compensation lists
has revealed more than TOO veterans who
have accepted both payments simultane-
ously.
It is difficult to stamp out this un-
considerable racket because the two sets
of payments are made by different
agencies. Since both local and Federal
authorities are victims of such frauds,
however, it should be feasible to work out
some plan for checking and counter check
ing payments to prevent duplication of
benefits. If clearing of outgoing checks
through one distribution agency is not
practicable, some effective means of
promptly exchanging mailing lists for COM
parison might be found. In the meantime,
prosecutors and courts can help to dis
courage dishonest practices by pressing
vigorously any cases brought to their
attention. There is no justification for
the leniency which the Veterans Admin
istration asserts has been shown by some
courts in dealing with such reprehensible
trickery.

Too Much for d Man

few days ago, in New Brunswick, N. J..
a young man and his wife undertook an
experiment whose outcome was certain
from the start. The man had been reck-
less enough to say to her that his job
operating a luncheonette-was tougher
than her housework. So she challenged
him to put the proposition to test. The
upshot was that he stayed home to cook
the meals, make the beds, wash the dishes,
keep everything tidy and minister to the
wants and whims Of their year-old boy.
She. for her part, went downtown and took
over the lunch counter.
Who cannot guess the end OF this story?
After three days the young man was sadder
but wiser. His eyes had been opened; he
had come to see life in new perspective;
he had learned what he did not fully url-
derstand before-namely, that mothers
work is never done and that there Is
nothing more exhausting than the care
and feeding of bouncing, superenergetic
little boy or girl. The latter point has
long since been established on more or
less scientific basis. Some years ago a
famous athlete was prevailed upon. to
measure his hardihood and staying power
against that of healthy moppet aged
about four At the end of the day the
athlete was whipped, played out COM
pletely winded and ready to fall into q
sleep Of profound mental and physical
WEAKNESS. Not so the moppet, however
He was still raring to go. It Is thing
familiar to great numbers Of us who have
found ourselves, on Sundays or days OF,
charged with the responsibility Of looking
after cur rambunctious offspring whose
wells of energy are bottomless and whose
Joy of living knows no bounds.
It is never wise, therefore, for a man
to say to his wife that he works harder
than she does. He may honestly think so
but nine times out of ten he is wrong. This
does not mean, Of course, that wives are
entitled to act uppity to their husbands. It
merely means that we must recognize that
nature has endowed the sexes with certain
distinguishing capabilities and limitations.
In the case of the male, he simply does not
have what it takes to run house and
mind a brood, whereas the female unde-
niably does The whole business boils
down to matter of relativity; the chances
are considering their separate natural
attributes, that men and women work
equally hard. At any rate, let us not argue
about it; there is more than enough argu-
ment in the world already.

u. N. Headquarters

A bitter controversy already has de-
veloped among experts concerning the
plans for the buildings intended to house
the United Nations organization in New
York. One group Of architects regards
the proposed design as "a diabolical
dream; another declares it to be "a COM
plete change in taste" Wallace K. Har-
rison, speaking for himself and fourteen
big names" associated with him in the
project, says: I'VE expected criticism"
Doubtless, it was inevitable that it should
be so. The U. N. headquarters is not a
temporary affair. If there really is to be
"a new world capitol on Turtle Bay, it
should reflect timeless all-inclusive con-
ception of beauty and be symbolic OF
universal and durable values. Certainly
it ought not to represent any passing fad,
any experimental adventure in art. Mr..
Harrison and his co-workers, of course, are
entitled to believe in what they have
suggested. They may argue for modern"
as distinct from other styles of architecture
as much as they like.
But the world public also has re-
sponsibility in the circumstances. The
U. N is not a private enterprise. It it is
to succeed, it must have the wholehearted
support of the great masses of the people,
not merely i'll their corporate character
but as individuals What they see in the
new world capitol unquestionably viii
affect what they feel and what they think
1t is not enough that the architects should
visualize structures of great size and
strength. Beauty that easily can be COM
pretended, grandeur that easily can be
understood, forms and lines and colors
that will have instant and compelling
appeal to the imagination of ordinary men
and women-these are the qualities that

The City. Of Coventry in England re-
Gently faced similar problem and decided

beauty. When the General Assembly Of

worse than invite the architects OF all
nations to try again. The sketch sub
mitted by Mr.. Harrison and his colleagues
is not final. It can be improved. and 1t
