. 5de proximity of the cathedral and
eirdome worries inhabitants of ; this
fcswn. Throughout the land there tt a
consciousness of the importance, of the
Sthedral of Chartrea, comparable ; aa
i architectural monument to the Pa
thenon or 8t Petert. The sirfleM will
bi t target tot enemy bombs when the
f&e Burope fears actually materializes.
All of the bombs may not fall on the
aviation Held.
Even with the. example of the bom
bardment of the cathedral of Reims
before them,.' Inhabitants- of. Chartres
are loath to believe that' any aviator
deliberately would drop a bomb on the
cathedral itself, thus threatening the
finest early Gothic spire in France,
which adorns the southern side of the
main facade, or the finest late Gothic
Spire in France, which occupies Its
northern angle. But no direct hit
would be necessary to destroy a treas
ure even greater than that of the body
of the cathedral itself, because there
Is literally nothing like it anywhere
else, with one minor exception, the
Thirteenth century glass which Is the
unique glory of the cathedral.
Glass Not Duplicated.
Except for a few panes at Bourses,
tthere Is no Thirteenth century glass
in France except the tremendous
wealth constituted by the 24 windows
of Chartres, which still hold their old
glass, whose beauty modern science
has never been able' to duplicate. The
glass is priceless, literally, for there Is
no standard by which It can be com
pared. It Is (except for those frag
ments at Bourges) all there Is In the
world.
Experts estimate that an ordinary
bomb exploding 750 meters from the
cathedral will shatter every one of
Jhse Irreplaceable windows. The avia
tion field Is only 1,800 meters away.
The chances that any Intensive bom
bardment of the air field will blow In
the cathedral's windows are thus good.
Alarmed by this prospect, the com
mittee for the preservation of French
IftrLengagJiAchllle Carller, an expert,
to work out a plan for the dismantling
of the windows of Chartres and stor
ing them safely away within an hour
the time it would take a bombing plane
reported as it crossed the frontier
to reach Chartres. ,
- ' Precaution to Be Costly, .
Carlier has worked out his plan, but
it. will cost 130,000. As all prepara
tions must, be made in advance and
the French government Is not likely to
pay until the emergency has arrived,
there Is the danger that the plan might
fall. - . j...-.
- During the World war It was decid
ed to take out and store the windows
of the cathedral The work required
five months."; This time a delay of five
months or even j live , days, or five
hours might prove disastrous.'
' There are 8,478 panels of Thirteenth
centnry ' glass - at Chartres, divided
among 87 low windows, 84 high win
dows, and the three great rose windows
of transepts and facade, with their
lancet tea, one of which is the "Tree of
Jesse,". one of the most famous Indi
vidual stained-glass windows In the
world, whose fame Is perhaps only
rivaled by the Virgin on the-tight-hand
aisle of the church, far down by the
choir.

Chicago. Alert manufacturers have
devised many new combinations of fur
niture which will solve the problems of
the small home owner and keep his
home from looking cluttered with too
many pieces. These new and tricky
devices made their debut to retail
furniture buyers at the American Fur j
nlture Mart, home furnishings style
center here.
Among these Innovations, many of
which can now be seen In recall,
stores, Is a combination davenport,
cellarette, bookcase, and radio cab
inet, made In California Spanish style.
Tt's a piece that'a suitable for summer
homes with knotty pine background
or for regular home or apartment use
In town or city. The davenport Is up
holstered in soft checked material
(homespun) trimmed In leather. The
cellarette ais concealed in one end of
the davenport, and behind It Is a
bookcase. The other end opens to a
radio cabinet, with Storage space be
hind this. The chairs that go with
the davenport have concealed ashtrays

; There's also a-new bridge davenport
that's a grand utility piece, besides be

tion of the davenport is removable, and
can be pushed to the front, a bridge
table Inserted there and you're .all set

necessity of pulling up any extra

Lamps, have long since ceased to be
Just lamps. They now frequently in
volve tables, magadne racks, and even
small cellarette compartments in their
bases. For manufacturers have learned
to build things In that long space be
tween floor and shade and thus, with
out much effort, have managed to And
room for an extra shelf a table or a
place for magazines.
One of the best known manufactur
ers of medium-priced furniture has de
vised a sectional bookcase, which comes
In three compartments, usable In one
continuous piece or in separate parts.
This combines bookcase, desk, drawer
spacefor linens, and radio cabinet
all In a beautifully polished natural
oak piece which is most effective.
For the little shop girl who shares
a hall bedroom, or for the housewife
who likes to do part of her own wash
ing, there's the combination wringer
and washboard which retails for just
over a dollar. This Is a real utility
piece for, In the case of housewives,
It saves the expense of a laundry
bill.
Another interesting combination is
the bridge and dining room table. It's
an extensive, table which folds from
the regular bridge size Into a dining
room table which serves six or eight
persons. For bridge, the dining room
chairs can, of course, be used.

500,000 Fewer Phones
in World Than in '33
Paris. There are 32,496,000 tele
phones In the world, which Is 600000
fewer than in 1033, according to the
latest statistics. The major part of
this decrease Is to be found in North
America, which at present possesses
19,000,000 instruments, an average of
10.4 a hundred persons.
Europe, however, has suffered a de
crease of only 200,000, from the 11,000,
000 telephones which were In opera
tion in 1033. However, the number of
European telephones still remains
small, for, statistics show that there
are only two telephones per hundred
persons.
France, which has 38,000,000 Inhab
itants, has 1,350.000 phones and occu
pies third place on the European list
after England and Germany. The pro
portion in France Is 3.2 per hundred
persons, whereas England has 4.8 per
cent and Germany 4.5 per cent.

telephone world, for Denmark has ten
phones per hundred Inhabitants, Swe
den 0.5 and Switzerland 8.S.
South America has only 0.7 per cent,
Australia 0.8 per cent and Asia only
0.1 per cent. China has only 147,000.
which Is about three telephones per

Fatherly Paddle Upheld
as Curfew for Daughter
Cleveland. A suburban police judge
ruled that a father has the moral right
and the "legal duty" to spank his
daughter If she refuses to go to bed
early. After hearing the case of An
ton Jentner, Jr., charged with assault
and battery by his seventeen-year-old
daughter, Eleanor, Judge Henry Wil
liams, of Lakewood, dismissed the fa
ther and reprimanded the daughter.
The girl said her father spanked her
with a wooden paddle when she re
fused to go to bed at eleven o'clock.

the service schools some, years ago, the

a man in civilian clothes came down
to the river bank where some soldiers
were pulling on s rope, the other end
of which could not be seen In the dark

Lifting his eyes for a moment one
;of the tollers answered : "The en
