FURNITURE MEN | TO SEE STYLES FOR 1936 HOME Leave For Market Opening At American Furniture Mart In Chicago — Furnishings that will brighten■ the homes of Decatur during 1936 will start their journey from the factories of America’s manufacturers to the ultimate users on .lan., 20th. On hand for the event, along I witli some 7,000 other furniture ( men from all 48 states and many | foreign countries, will be representatives of the Schafer Store here. Those malting the trip to market include C. C. Schafer and Frederick Schafer. More Than 600 Displays At*the Furniture Mart, which is the largest building in the world devoted to a single Industry and houses the permanent displays of more than 600 manufacturers, the ■ local delegation will inspect the, new merchandise and select the lines thought most suitable and giving the best values for homemakers here. Soon the “1936 models" will be on display in retail . stores from coast to coast. “Advance reports from the Furniture Mart are that the new lines are the most beautiful ever shown there," Mr. Schafer said yesterday, “so we’re going to see for ourselves. Furniture is a style commodity that simply can’t be purchased satisfactorily from catalogs. You have to look at a chair from all angles, and then sit in i", to know whether it’s a good buy or not! The store that isn't represented at the national markets doesn't have an opportunity to study the manufacturers’ lines and compare values." Show Runs Two Weeks The Chicago show that opened Jan. 6 will continue for two weeks, closing Jan. 18. The Decatur men will spend four days at the market. Mr. Schafer said. "Modern furniture, for every room of the house, will be featured more than ever at Chicago this I time,” Mr. Schafer continued. “Bedrooms went modern in a big way several seasons ago; dining rooms followed suit; now more furniture of modern design for the living room will be shown we’re told. We expect to carry a large selection of modified modern furniture next season, but we’ll also see to it that we have plenty of 18th Century English, Early American and other traditional patterns to suit those who haven’t been converted to the new furniture!” Among the current trends in the I home furnishings field, according, to word received by Mr. Schafer , from the Furniture Mart, are: 1. Fabrics of better quality are selling better for upholstered furniture. The newest patterns are generally small and neat in design . . . with blues and browns the most popular colors. Lighter shades and rougher textures are ] used for modern. 2. Walnut remains the most popular furniture wood, running far ahead of mahogany. Maple is being used more extensively for modern furniture, in addition to Early American. 3. “Open stock units” are coming to the fore. For the dining room, for example, one grouping may contain two or three tables, two buffets, two types of chairs, a choice in chinas and servers—every piece styled to be used interchangeably. Thus the customer who “likes that set, but not the buffet" may still buy the suite she likes, with the alternate buffet

There are hundreds of items that go into the ■furnishing of the modern home, and we ll see the latest creations [in every division of the industry |at Chicago.” Mart Closed to Public The markets at the Furniture Mart, held twice each year, are closed to the public. Makers of carpets and rugs, electrical appliances, housefurnishings, lamps, Hoys, and related lines, as well as [furniture, have their displays in this central location. Buyers may thus see all the lines without going to the factories themselves, which are scattered through more | than 30 states. The annual convention of the National Retail Furniture Association will also be held at the Furniture Mart at the same time as the market. —Adv.

[ferring to the AAA decision that 1 this week virtually broke the back of the farm recovery program. | I At the same time, he added that l the administration, would try for ■ legislation to carry out the general ■thought of retaining and regaining] soil fertility and in keeping farm ■ prices stabilized. He emphasized that in consider- ■ Ing the agricultural question, he, as president, must also think of the country's future and the tinlimited production would result positively in the loss of soil fertility in a generation or two. . _ . o— MORGAN DENIES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) J ity” I Morgan said nothing.

C., of a school for landlords at which prospective managers of federal housing units will be trained calls attention to the need for a school for tenants. Such an institution could educate the renter in the most effective ways of getting the rent reduced, how to convince the landlord he should make necessary repairs, how to break a lease, the best manner in which to handle the bailiff when he comes around with eviction notice merely because the rent hasn’t been paid for a year, and other, courses which would be invaluable to the average renter. It is con; ccivable that the renters of America, if they kept a united front on the issue, might form a militant third party based on the platform, "Training for Tenants”, and prove a formidable foe to the New Deal and its paternalistic attitude toward landlords.

NOTEO OUTLAW PUT TO DEATH Neal Bowman Executed For Murder Os Young Companion Eddyville, Ky., Jan. 10.—(W?) His Ups compressed, Neal Bowman, 33, met death in the electric ( hair early today with the same show of bravado that marked his career of crime in Ohio and Kentucky. Bowman was electrocuted for ■ the murder of a 17-year-old com-1 panion, Comer Franklin, whose j bullet-torn body was found in Hetrington lake, near Danville, Ky., in April, 1934. The state charged Frank?.!) was killed because he threatened to inform authorities of activities of the Bowman gang. I “I am being crucified to satisfy the sadistic longings of various bankers in Ohio,” Bowman told reporters last night. He had previously admitted robbing several banks in Ohio. The condemned man compared himself to Jean Valjean, hero of Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables,” and also said he “supposed” he | would die as Jesus Christ died, "for something he didn't do.” He admitted throwing Franklin’s weighted body into the lake but blamed another companion. Stanley Mercer, for the slaying. Mercer now is serving a life term in prison for his part in the crime. oHERMAN L.
