MARCONI DEAD!
Noted Italian inventor pf wire
less radio passed away Monday
night.
MARCONI
What name should be on every
tongue
When silver bugle calls are flung
With magic, o’er the seas—
When kings can greet their realms
afar
As one might call from star to
star —
And words soar on the breeze?
MARCONI!
Who lured the! pathways from the
sk y -
earth, to catch all melody,
And wing our words along?
Who bent the star-path to his
will,
That they might glow and sing
and thrill
Our earthly ears with song?
MARCONI!
Who, with his magic, blessed
Who won this realm with God-like
mindi
And heaven’s tongue to earth in.
dined?
MARCONI!
(Hilda von Siller).

In England, particularly, during
the 18th century the history of
furniture is the history of great
designers. Men like Sheraton,
Chippendale, Hepplewhite and the
Brothers Adams.
In France the story is different.
Here furniture designers were in
fluenced by the personality of the
Ruling monarchs.
Such designers as Boulle dis
tinguished themselves, but furni
ture created by these masters was
influenced by the preferences of the
King. The outstanding example
was Louis XIV under whom the
Golden Age of French furniture
began. He surrounded himself
with the greatest artists and
craftsmen whose efforts to glorify
his Majesty became almost a fetish.
It is remarkable that these great
designers, who created so much that
was beautiful, never gave more
thought to comfort.
It was hot until the last fifty
■'■ears that the proper thought was
given to mattresses and springs.
Since that time the development
has been rapid. With the felted
inner spring mattresses, that are
beautiful in themselves, one may
find more comfort than a monarch,
at prices as low as sixteen dollars
and fifty cents and up.
