NEWARK, N. j. July IA. - A
dapper, 38-year-old Police Court
Judge who admitted he had en-
bezzled more than a half million
dollars took his place today in the
County Jail alongside some 40 men
he himself had sentenced there pre-
viously.
Unshaven but still attired neatly
in some choice selections from his
40O-tie, 15-suit wardrobe, Judge p.
James Pellecchia, jr., was assigned
to a cell pending a hearing Friday
on his possible release on bail.
Pellecchia, named recently by a
haberdashers' trade organization as
the Nations best-dressed jurist,"
pleaded guilty yesterday to 20
charges of embezzlement in hastily
summoned hearing before Common
Pleas Judge Philip Hartshorne.
He faces a possible maximum
seven-year sentence on each of the
20 counts, or a total of 140 years in
prison.
Father Is Chairman of Board.
State Banking Commissioner John
j. Dickerson said Pellecchia ad-
mitted taking 100000 from the Co.
| lumbus Trust Co., of which he was
vice president and counsel. His
father, Pellegrino Pellecchia, u, is
chairman of the banks board OF
directors.
The Judge was quoted as saying
he had rugged up series OF f1cti-
tious mortgages to obtain the funds
to cover his losses in horse-race bets.
State Attorney General Walter D.
Van Ripper said Peuecchia told him
it was nothing to lose $1,000 or
Sc 900 a week on the shorses."
Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll said at
Trenton that he was ordering the
investigation of the embezzlement

Ex-Showgirl Stands by Him.

The question is: What makes
city better? Four different ideas on
that line-two very bad ones and
two good ones-can be seen in the
story of Acts l9.
You should read the story itself
before looking over these COM
ments. Because we are beginning
toward the end of the story, with
the very lowest and silliest of the
four ideas how to make a city bet
ter. It is very simple idea: Just
''holler," yell, make a demonstra-
ton. Make it long, make it loud,
and the city will be the better for
it. For two mortal hours that alb
surd mass-meeting kept the uproar
going: Great is Diana of the
Ephesians!
A curious thing, the mob
Rind. If something is true, how
can noise make it truer? If
thing is lie, how can all the
shouting in the world make it
respectable? But the mOb-mind
thinks that if a thing is said
loudly enough and by enough
people, it is bound to be trues
So that theater-fuI of fools wasted
a good afternoon shouting a lie into
the deaf blue heavens. It did Diana
no good. She was as dead as Mar
ley's ghost, she had never lived, in
fact. It was no use drumming up
the decibels. Do you know people
who think they can make your town
better by shouting about it? It won't
work. You can make a town or
county famous if you shout long
enough; but you won't make it bet
ter.

Abiding By the Law
T~HE TOWN C.

THE TOWN CLERK Of Ephesus
Il had simple idea, vastly bet
ter than these other two. He saw
no sense in the mass meeting, he
seems not to have been taken in by
the sllversmiths' crocodile tears. If
anything was wrong in Ephesus, he
said, the courts were open, and
trials were open, and trials could
be held. We have laws-let us live
by them; that was the gist of his
idea. That is not bad advice.
All honor to the honest SER
ants of the public who now as
then give their best efforts to
seeing that good laws are made
and well enforced.

Old Furniture Into New Pieces
Woman's World
&y &,tta Ma&y

MANY of us have tucked away
4N1 old pieces of furniture into the.
attic or relegated odds and ends to
the basement Now. if the house
needs it's face lifted, why not bring
out some of these pieces to see how
they can be made to fit the interior?
Surprising, delightful things can
be applied to restyle odd pieces of
furniture into something quite
modern. A friend of mine recently
picked up some old cabinets at a
second hand shop. She stained the
tops and sides light, while the
drawer fronts were stained dark,
leaving the knobs light. Three old
cabinets were converted into mod
ern looking storage cabinets for the
living room. =
Beds, chairs, chests and tables
all can be made over very much
the same way clothes are, changing
lines or adding new color. You may
nave practically gold mine in
your home now simply by checking
attic or basement for castaways.

Changing Lives

G PEAKING OF LAWS, there are
~ three kinds Of people in the
world. One kind will not obey the
laws whatever they are These are
the criminal classes. A second kind
say 'inside the law" but they
never advance step beyond them
A third kind, too rare, will go far
beyond the laws requirements in
personal living and in social help
fulness.
Now Paul had been in the city of
Ephesus for some months, and he
had nothing to do with the laws of
that city. Yet what he was doing
was more effective in making that
city better than anything the courts
could have done.
For what he was doing was
nothing less than changing lives.
'The trouble with people is that
they're people," and the busi-
ness of Christianity first of all is
changing people. Il is no use
hanging out the slogan For a
Better City, unless you are
working for better people.
A tree is no healthier than its
roots. and community's roots sare
the characters Of her people. And
from ST. Paups day to this, the one
and only organization which sets
out to change people from the in
side. is the Christian church.

Making Money.

THE SILVERSMITF1S there in
l. Ephesus had another theory.
The way they looked at it, the big
thing is money. They used to make
money selling their little silver
shrines. Now this fellow Paul had
come along, persuading people that
handmade gods are no gods at all,
and the trade in sacred" trinkets
had fallen off. It looked like a bad
year for the silversmiths. To make
things better, they decided, they
needed more money. More busi-
ness! More production! The fact
that what they produced was not
only worthless but actually harm
full, did not seem to bother them.
Do you know people like that to-
day?

High footboards can be cut down,
leaving a five or six inch panel
which may or may not be covered
to match the headboard. It's good
idea to redowel the footboard be-
fore putting the bed together again.
After you have removed fussy
pieces from an old bed, instead of
covering it, you might prefer to
paint it bright warm color like
green, blue, pink or yellow. Use
simple but attractive spread.
If the room is rather plain with
cream walls and dotted swiss cur
tains, make a wallpaper border of
small floral print around the win
dows to add color to the bedroom.
If you have used wallpaper on the
headboard of the remodeled bed,
this should be used as the frame
around the window, too.
Brighten Wooden Chairs
By Painting, Padding
What about those old kitchen or
porch chairs you have relegated to
the attic. Couldn't they be used if
you trim off the ornate knobs and
other bric-a-brac?
The chair can be painted a gay
color to match the kitchen, and you
can relieve the solid color paint by
adding some gay trimming with
decals or stencils.
OF if you want to use the chair on
the porch or dinette, pad the back
and seat, and finish off with a gay
lowered or solid color fabric.
Chairs also can be stained if you
want to use them in some other
room in the home. Remove the old
paint with varnish remover.
It's Easy to Convert
Chests and Tables
Have you a small table that once
was used in the kitchen? There are
two good possibilities for using this.
One is to cover the table complete
ly and make dressing table of it
for the bathroom, bedroom or
dressing room. You can cover the
mirror frame with the same type
of material as the skirt of the table.
An old piGn bench or discarded
box can be podded to make the seat
for the table, This, too, is covered
in the same material used for the
skirt.
Another possibility for using the
table is to place it in a hall.
A niche in the hall could be
used for the table, which is ref1n-
ished as necessary. You can use
a figure of some kind on the table,
a few books or lamp if light is
needed. A mirror can be used above
the table, if desired, or an attrac-
tive arrangement of pictures could
be placed there.
Shabby chests take on new bright
ness if they are covered with a
floral print wallpaper. These are
good to use in bedrooms as<night
tables, especially if they are the
small, two or three drawer type.
Chests also can be papered, COW
cred or even painted to match or
harmonic with closets. The legs
can be- trimmed down completely
or at least cut down to height
more convenient if they are to be
used in the closet.
Long storage chests also can be
brought out of hiding and either
refinished or painted, papered or
covered in some way to make them
harmonic with the room.
A cedar chest, for example, may
fit nicely into a den against a row
of windows. When refinished with
the top padded and covered nicely,
these will give two or three extra
seats to the room as well as a stor.
age chest for toys, clothing. furs
pillows. extra blankets or linens.
