Harmonizinr.' colois, and all of the pastel shade made popular by the modernists greet the eve when you drive up r.i front of the California bungalow entrance to the show. Riot of Colors Giant vase 1 with that tint that Maxfield Parrish has made so popular give the entrance a particularly “advanced arty” appearance. The floor is the next thing to attract the eye—pastel pinks, grays, lavenders and what-not oplors run riot in that triangular form made popular by the artist of the ruler and compass. Then out over the sea of booths comes a glare of color. In fact the coloxvs were so riotous that in order to prevent clash and disharmonic appearances the realtors had to spread a light blue gauze for a ceiling, and this tones down all effects, thereby creating something that the artists call “symphonic, dontena know.” Old Shingles Are Gone Where, oh where is the old sun bared, weather beaten shingle that (raced the rooffs in my old home town? Shingles today are not intended merely to keep out the weather—not. according to what greets your eye at the home complete show.

Study Capital Air Needs Bu limes Sin rial WASHINGTON, April 6.—Washington’s airport needs twenty years hence will be considered by the joint congressional committee which opens hearings Monday morning on the question of a government airport for the national capitol. Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticutt, aviation enthusiast and chairman of the committee, conferred yesterday with President Hoover on the subect. “If it is possible to look ahead twenty years in aviation, the committee will try to do so,” said Bingham. “It has asked the heads of four government departments, war, navy, commerce and postoffice, to submit their respective needs.” Air Rates on Toboggan CHICAGO. April 6.—The manner in which aviation lines are reducing their passenger fares closer and closer to the level of railroad fares is strikingly portrayed in the reductions just announced by the Northwest Airways, Inc., operating trimotored passenger planes between Chicago and the Minnesota “twin cities,” Minneapolis and St. Paul. When the service was inaugurated last fall, one-way fare was $45. Now SSO will buy a round-trip ticket, which includes bus transportation to and from the airport at each end of the line. This is not a great deal higher than railway fare between the same points. A round-trip rail ticket be-

tween Chicago and the twin cities, including Pullman each way, is $36.62. The fact that Northwest Airways is closely affiliated with transcontinental railway lines lends added interest to the reduction. RUN OVER ON PORCH Car Leaps Curb, Injures Man in Front of House.

i‘DOESN’T PAY,’ SAYS BOOTLEG KINGJN PRISON Racketeer Laughed at Law, Made Millions, But Lost Freedom. i H<J .V EA Service KANSAS CITY, Mo„ April 6. Take it from Frank De Mayo, king of the bootleggers of the southwest —it does not pay. One may get rich selling liquor in defiance of Uncle Sam's laws, and always there is fear, and worry. When the cell doors clanked together behind Frank De Mayo as he entered the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan,, recently, the resounding noise carried the bootlegger king’s new message. Was Carload Dealer For a dozen years De Mayo defied government prohibition enforcement officers. He shipped | alcohol into Kansas City by the carload and shipped liquor out by the motor truck load in great numbers. He piled up a million-dollar fortune and laughed at the law. But now the laugh has changed to lines of worry on the face of the rich bootlegger. He is serving two years behind the bars and, when he comes out, another sevenyear sentence awaits. In the long fight to “get” De Mayo, dozens of prohibition enforcement officers were sent to Kansas City by Washington. They worked for years. De Mayo lieutenants were arrested and convicted, time after time, but the “king” always slipped through the net. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney-general, hearing in Washington of the steady flow of liquor from Kansas City into surrounding territory and mobs of dry agents descended upon Kansas City. Agents loafed in drug stores and pool halls, frequented by De Mayo workers. Agents sought to buy liquor from De Mayo himself—but always the “king” was too wary. Fooled By Greek Then gradually one of the government men, a Greek, began obtaining the confidence of De Mayo. James Komanakis, the Greek, looked j like a bootlegger and acted like one. Finally De Mayo sold Komanakis | fifty gallons of alcohol, a supply of

“Don” Dozens of Indianapolis business men and many policemen join N. T. Gordon in mourning the death of his valuable bird-dog Don. The police, besides mourning, were joining energetically in the search for the person who poisoned the dog. The dog was one of the farfamed hunters of the city and Gordon frequently let his friends use him. Gordon offered a SSO reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who came on the Gordon property, 1347 Tuxedo street, and fed the dog a small meat ball containing strychnine. The dog was found dead in his kennel. Any one with information may communicate it to Gordon at the Gordon Sign Company. 26'£ South Alabama street. counterfeit revenue stamps and several cases of “finished” liquor. The government began prosecution. But De Mayo was not whipped yet. He hired the shrewdest lawyers in Kansas City and in his trial the jury failed to agree. Four trials were held and each time the jury was unable to agree. It began to appear that the government was beaten. Then came the surprise. De Mayo walked into court, pleaded guilty and within a half dozen hours started to the Leavenworth prison to serve his sentence.

I DRY SLAYING CASE IN TANGLE State of Illinois Refuses to Conduct Trial. GENEVA, 111.. April 6.—Pending decision on naming of a prosecutor the investigation of the Aurora dry raid killing of Mrs. Lillian De King was confused today. Oscar E. Carlstrom. attorney-gen-eral, refused Friday to take over prosecution of Roy Smith, deputy sheriff who shot Mrs. De King and Eugene Boyd Fairchild, who is free on bond after being charged with perjury in connection with the search warrant used in the raid. Carlstrom’s action passes the task of prosecution back to George D. Carbary, states attorney, who last week asked the attorney-gen-eral to take charge of the case when defense attorneys charged evidence was being suppressed and investigation delayed by Carbary. Robert Milroyn, attorney for the De King family, said he would go before Judge John K. Nehall Monday and ask that a special prosecutor be named.
