selection and placing of table linens. 1 The old-fashioned dining table has about been discarded and in its place we have long refectory tables made of oak in English, Italian or Spanish type, small gateleg tables, for the little homo or the apartment, which combines living and dining room; and large round or oblong tables with high polish for the conservative home. The refectory table may use various types of table linen since the long narrow table lends itself to beautiful linens and laces. Individual oblong plate dollies of Italian filet lace are perhaps among the most effective table coverings for the refectory and they can be used for formal as well as semi-fonnai occasions. Twin runnel's of Italian filet which extend the entire length of the table are also good when persons are not seated at the ends of the table. Where but four persons are seated at the long table two smaller runners may be used crosswise with a smaller doilic for a center piece. The lace table-cloth which covers the entire table with a siv-inch banance of lace falling at the aides can be used for formal occasions. For everyday wear, colored oblongs of cotton crepe or linen with frayed edges may be used effectively. The gateleg table seems to look its best with round cloths of linen with deep lace borders. Round plate doilies and a round center-piece may be used on the large gatelegs but they are apt to look cramped on small tables. Nothing looks nicer on the large oblong table of family type than the lovely Irish linen cloth patterned to i correspond with the napkins. There Is a new novelty set which is very lovely on oblong tables with high, polish. Here plate doilies of Chinese . embroidered oblongs are used with a matching centerpiece. I saw a set of this sort used on a black lacquered table and the effect was lovely. The embroidery was merely Chinese sleevebands carried out in yellow embroidery and banded in blue. The Chinese, by the way, are making ' adorable cross-stitch sets for the ■ | bridge table which include a 40-inch | square and four napkins cross-stitch-ed in designs of lanterns, pagodas, baskets of flowers, etc. o • I 1 Studebaker Corporation Celebrates 75th Birthday South Bend, Ind, Jan. 6—(United .

He declared The most important thing is the changing belief of students, due to the teachlug of science that god it not needed, that he is an illusion.

Bootleggers Ship Canadian Liquor To U. S. Round-About Way Wy Ray G. Marshall (U. P. Staff Correspondent) San Francisco, Jan. 6. — (United Press.)—How Europe and China participate in a .wot ) ’-wide transportation scheme that provides Americans with genuine Canadian whisky and at the same time deprives the Canadian government of revenue, hns been revealed in official hearings on the Pacific coast. Federal attorneys and investigators in California have uncovered a, remarkable corporation that deals in illegal liquor but does its business legally up to the very point of delivery to the customer. China. England, France and Sweden are all playing a part, a legal part to be sure, but it has beeh shown that most of the genuine liquor sold in western United States, first goes to one of these countries. Canada permits no whisky to j>e exported that is less than two years old. There is not enough old whisky to supply Canada and America. Consequently the rum runner, who is now incorporated, takes the new whisky, ships ft to China or Europe in bond. All taxes that are due Canada on internal revenue is paid. Once ,in China, the liquor is bonded and shipped back to America. It stops in Canada "Intransit" free of duty and is then shipped ostensibly to Mexico. Somewhere off the American coast it is put overboard and fast boats get I it to American brokers. These facts were revealed in investigations here and a British Columbia customs hearing a Victoria i I brought out more strange relations. The customs court there was interested when a confessed bootlegger I said great quantities of liquor were shipped to Glasgow. They were suri prised when he testified that some of i it stayed there although he admitted most of it came back. It developed that the whisky can be shipped to Europe or China and brought back, free of the taint of youth, better in every way than when it left, cheaper than it can be stored in China for the required period? Some taxes are avoided and of course on the return goods shipped "instransitu,” pay no duty. o Members Os Agriculture Board Are Re-elected Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 6—(United Press)—Rumors of a contest for seats on the state agriculture board failed . to devalope today when delegates met ■ in the stat? house and re-elected five members. Those re-elected were: Roy E. Graham. Franklin, fourthdistrict; O. L. Reddish, Waveland, fifth district; Russell G. East, Shelbyville, sixth district; C. V. Carmel, ninth district and Lynn Vv'i’s<?>;, Jonesboro, eleventh district ail were re-eiecteiT with on; opposition. o Demand For Fur Coats Aid Canadian Industry Ottawa, Ont. (United Press)—The demand for costly skins among sash ionab'.e women is booming the fur farming industry of Canada, according to a report of the Dominion bureau statistics. Number of fur farms in Canada lias tripled in the last five years, totaling 2.327 in 1926 compared with 806 in 1921, the report shows. Investimeht in fut farms in. the Dominion now amounts to $13,076.(148 as against $7,556.845 five years agor Fcx farms numbering 2,117 constitute 95 per cent of the fur raising es-

tablishments, it Is shown. In addition I there are 59 mink farms. 52 muskrat farms, 50 beaver, as well as numerous marten, skunk, badger, rabbit and karagul sheep farms. O PEGGY LOUISE GAGE “How brief the stay, as beautiful as fleeting. The time that baby oaine with us to dwell; Just long enough to give a happy greeting, Just long enough to bid us all farewell!” Peggy Louise Gage, a blossom sent from God to adorn the home circle of John and Georgia Gage, tarried just three weeks and four days, and then faded away again into the Spirit World —to be forever with God. She was born Dec. 4, and departed Dec. 29, 1926. Though her stay was so brief, she has profoundly influeneed the home and will never be forgotten. and life will always be deeper and fuller. She is now with God. “The smallest children are nearest to God, as the smallest planets are nearest the sun." Besides her parents she leaves, who deeply mourn their loss: two brothers, Donald and Robert; one sister, Thelma; and the grandparents, Mrs. Catherine Gage and Mr. and Mrs. Willis Magner. One brother, Qilen Warren, preceded her in death. May the comfort of God and the hope of meeting again after a while be their consolation. “Too thick in every graveyard The little hillocks lie, But every hillock represents An angel in the sky.” o Much Needed For Fight Against Corn Borer Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 6 —(United Press) —A considerable appropriation may be needed to fight the corn borer in Indiana it was intimated today byFrank Wallace, state entomologist just returned from a conference at Philadelphia where the fight on the borer was discussed. I Two years ago the legislature appropriated SIO,OOO annually to fight the borer. With the pest at work in six northeastern counties much of this money has been spent while the law provides that assessments for this purpose may be made against the farms ready money will be needed if the state must itself undertake to clear out the borer by May , I Wallace declared. o - ] Relief Fund For Flood District Totals $50,000 Memphis. Tenn, Jan. 6. —(United Press) — Aided by a $50,000 fund being raised in Nashville.relief work was carried on today through the flood stricken sections of five central scuth states. 1 The" high water which threatened the district for three weeks is slowlyreceding and in its wake there is ' many tales of suffering. Homes have been washed away, several Million dollars indamage done and 29 lives lost. s The bulk of the relief funds is coming towards rebuilding homes which were in the path of the backwater of the score or more streams of the district. Several thusand persons were made homeless when the high waters seeped through their houses. , 0 ( Young Boy Kills Wolf Belleville, 111., Jan. 6. (United Pre-s) —Sidney Goring, 15, is very proud of an old gray wolf which he shot at a mine near hete. He is having the ani- , mal stuffed and mounted. (
