New York.—Fewer fada, freaks, and hysterical furniture designs are being made today than ever before, according to A. P. Haake, Ph. D., man aging director of the National Associ ation of Furniture Manufacturers. He reported on style tendencies at the semiannual meeting of .the asso ciation, which met here. “Fashions In furniture," Doctor Haake explained, “do not necessarily mean good taste In furnishing. For a number of years furniture designers were striving for bizarre and unusual effects. Instead of for beauty. The designs which happen to be most widely accepted today are more beau tiful in design and proportion than any which have achieved a popular vogue In nearly a century. “Good manners and formality have again become popular. We see this In the long skirts which cover a mul titude of shins; we see it In the for mal evening suit which Is replacing the tuxedo. The jazz age is dying, and with it is passing the eccentric, erratic, whimsical modes which reached their peak a few months ago. “England has contributed largely to the furniture styles which are most popular today. The Georgian and Queen Anne patterns are highly re garded. Colonial styles are selling In excess ®f any other period designs, while maple Is Increasingly used as a wood for recreations of early Amer ican furniture. Oak In early English design has doubled Its popularity within the past year. “Modern furniture In Its present form may have an ultimate success, although In modified form. It will take many years for the homemaker to create backgrounds which will suit the contemporary designs In furniture, but. the conservative modernistic fash ions being made today are frequently adapted to use with other furniture of similar Hue. proportion and coloring. “The building program which em braces a large number of structures should provide a vast amount of space to be furnished, and the furniture In dustry as well as building contractors should benefit by the new con struction.” Russians Writ Seven Years to Enter America Ix>ndon.—Among the new arrivals at Ellis Island when the next quota In flux begins thla summer there will be 30 Russians who started on their Jour ney from Riga to the United States In 1923 and who for seven years have been men without a country. They art the last of a party of 600 who left their native land, as so many hundreds of thousands had done be fore, to find a new home acroas the Atlantic. They were caught by the reduction of America's quota for Rus sian Immigrants. By a technicality they could not be sent back to their own country, and they could not be allowed to settle In England. And as they could not pro ceed to the United States they were sent to Atlantic Park hotel. East leigh, s temporary halting place main tained by the big shipping companies for European emigrants. Uttle by little the band of 000 di minished as Ita members were being called by the quota. Many obtained vlsaa as a result of marriages with other emigrants who had become American citizens. Now, after seven years, the United Stiles authorities have Issued visas for the final band of 30. The Journey will be resumed at an early date. Propose to Make Late Czar of Russia Saint Belgrade.—There Is at present be fore the Synod of the Serbian Ortho dox church a serious proposal to pro claim the late Russian emperor, Nich olas II. a saint of the Serbian church. The proposal comes from the popula tion of one of the larger provincial towns of Serbia, Leskovatz, where a special series of church services und meetings was recently held. It was stated that Nicholas IT was “the most pious, pure, and noble of the European rulers,” and that to the very end one of his principal cares w as for the Serbian people; he should therefore be declared “a Jugo-Slav saint and placed in the ranks of Ser bian saints, together with St. Simeon, St. Snva, St. Lazar, and St. Stephen.” If this proposal Is given effect to, the late czar would be the first “Jugo slav” saint, since all the others were elevated long before the formation of the state. Bamboo Trees May Give Newsprint for America Seattle.—Bamboo trees may supply a new source of newsprint If Amer ican paper manufacturers adopt Jap anese methods of making newsprint paper. Japan has constructed three large factories for the manufacture of paper from bamboo pulp. If thla wood Is used. It means a more ready source of pulp, as it attains Its growth In a year. Copies of newspapers printed on bamboo paper show up excellently. Womaa Skews Streegtk Tulsa, Okla.—Mrs. R. T. Richards wooden hew much strength she ac tually possesses.

The half hour stretched Into several boon and It was nearly midnight when he reached home. He thought as he approached the door that his wife and son would be sound asleep at that hour so he tiptoed softly after opening and clos ing the door more quietly than he had ever done before. Even breathing more gently than usual lest he disturb the sleepers, he finally reached his own room without hearing any sound to Indicate that he had awakened anybody. Next morning at breakfast his wife casually told him that she went out to play bridge the night before and did not reach home until about tVo hours after his own arrival. The son reached home even 4ater than his mother. Husband and father still believes In , being thoughtful and hopes he didn't disturb the family cat.—Brockton En terprise. Remarkable Salt Lake in Central Australia Lake Eyre might be called Austra lia’s “Great Salt Lake.” It Is located only about 250 miles southeast of the geographical center of the continent and because of its desert surroundings has been called “Australia's dead heart” The lake and Its immediate sur roundings constitute the only area in Australia that lies below sea level. Its shore line is 39 feet lower than the ocean waters that surround the continent. The bottom of the lake can be considered with little error as at the same level, for Lake Eyre In In reality only a tremendous salt flat that Is covered from time to time with a few inches of water. It become* a lake after droughts are broken by unusual ralna In the far away Queensland plains, so that floods rush down the usually dry river courses that lead to this closed basin. But quickly the shallow covering of water evaporates and the “lake” be comes first damp and then dry. FUsk-Eatiag Asia The safari ant belongs to the sub family Doryllnae. of which the genus Dorylus. with several subgenera, fre quents nearly all parts of Africa. These ants usually maks only tem porary nests, but spend meet of their time wandering In long files. The size varies from quite minute forms to over one-ha If loch In length. The maadl- blee are very strong sod the ant also has a powerful sting and a swarm la abla to kill animals or birds that It may corns .apoa.

Terrifyisg Record* One of the moot fascinating dis plays at the New York Academy of Medlcina. says an article la the New York Herald Tribune. Is a chart, com piled a century ago. In the columns of which are arranged the records of cases, guaranteed authentic by the author, of persons who have died of spontaneous combustion as a resuft of drink. In one case recorded combus tion was “complete” In one "who had abused spirits for three years.” sod in another even more terrifying event combustion was absolute "save for a part of the skull and the last Joints of the fingers” and the cause is given as “too great a proximity to a foot- stove.” Tks Grip of Gold There are metals rarer than gold and more precious. But no other sub stance remotely approaches gold In Its grip upon the Imagination of man kind. We do not speak of the Plat inum Rule or of the Radium Gate. We discuss. Instead, golden days and golden youth and golden weddings and a golden future. Gold Is the uni versal symbol of riches, the Inevit able metaphor of wealth. And In ad dition It Is the solid and unsenti mental foundation on which the world’s structure of currency and credit Is built.—Fortune. Creative Instinct Once the motive of craftsmanslp went far toward keeping the world efficient and happy. This motive, and its self-expression through the homely arts, can be applied with much satisfaction In the field of consump tion as It ever was In production. Es pecially for men whose part In the productive system Is highly mechan ized, the creative instinct can find expression In the arts of use, and In the subordinate art of buying well.— From the World Tomorrow.

After the Wirst Twenty-fire TAo!f£fvvt«f Mile# THE VALUE of sound design, good materials and careful craftsmanship is especially apparent in the new Ford after the first twenty-five thousand miles. Long, continuous service emphasizes its mechanical reliability and economy of operation and up-keep. As yon drive the Ford through many months and yean you will develop an increasing pride in its appearance and a growing respect for the substantial worth that has been built into it. From every standpoint—in everything that goes to make a good automobile—you wiU know that you have made • far-seeing, satisfactory purchase. Wherever you go, yon hear enthusiastic praise of the ear and this significant, oft-repeated phrase—“Pm glad I bought a Ford.” A FORD owner in New York tells of a 13,000-mile trip across the United States and back in sixty days and says “the car was extremely economical to operate, com fortable and speedy." A grateful father tells how the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield saved his wife and children from serious injury. To test tires, a large company drove a new Ford day and night, for an average of 500 miles every twenty-four hours. It was •till giving satisfactory service after 105,000 miles. A Ford car that had fallen into Feman Lake was^anbmerged for twelve days be fore being raised. After a new battery and carburetor bowl were installed, it was driven hack to Spokane under its own power. Many police departments have written of the special advantages of the Ford in crowded traffic because of its alert speed, acceleration, and ease of controL An in creasing number of fleet owners arc also purchasing the Ford because their cost figures have given conclusive proof of its economy of operation and up-keep. In addition to Important triumphs in Germany, France and Italy, the Ford wen aix out of seven loadfag places in a contest run from Copcnhagen-to-Paris-to-Copen* hagen, three gold medals in England, flrsf ranking in the durability test over the tortuous Amancaes road in Pern, and first place in the 1930 reliability ran conducted by the Royal Automobile Club of Sweden. This contest was an exceptionally se vere test of endurance and sturdy con struction because it was held in the dead o( winter and covered 600 miles of steady running over snow-covered country roadff and mountainous hills.
