Washington. The communica
tions commission was told that while
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company had "more stockhold
ers than any other corporation in
the world" 5 percent of them "own
ed 50 percent of the stock."
Dr. X. It. Danielian, an account
ant, testified the huge utility which
is being investigated for possible fu
ture rate making and regulatory pur
poses had stressed the wide owner
ship of its stoc kin an effort to build
good will with the public and to
"influence legislative committees in
Washington and the several states
Answering questions of Samuel
Becker, special commission counsel,
Danielian said all his information
had been taken from records of the
teltphone company. Those showed,
he said, that stockholders in A. T.
and T. increased from slightly more
than 7,000 in 1900 to a peak of
701,377 in 1932 and then dipped
to 604,095 in 1935.

A freth note of modernism is injected into this Chinese Chippendale
living room through the Installation of a concealed lighting unit recessed
behmd the curtains. The effect produced is that of warm sunlight,
streaming through the window.
THERE seems to be simply no
limit fo the ingenuity of these
lighting people nowadays. A press
of a button, and they give you day
light, sunlight, or moonlight at any
hour of the day or evening right
in your own living room. And it's
almost laughably simple!
Lighting panels built Into hidden
places produce the effect. They are
often used over the latest kitchen
sinks, although in such cases, ordi
nary colorless bulbs are employed.
Recently this type of lighting has
become quite popular in living
rooms, particularly where there 13
a bay window.
Easily Installed
The lighting unit Itself consists
of a metal box. approximately
thirty Inches long, six inches wide,
and seven inches high. It contains
three 40- or 60-watt bulbs, depend
ing upon whether you have light or
dark shades. The amount and
color of light desired also deter
mines the number of bulbs. Flashed
opal glass is used at the bottom
of the unit to diffuse and soften
the light.
There are two ways of Installing
such a unit, which Is a regulation
fixture, obtainable at many elec-(
trical stores. When Built into a
new house, it Is recessed Into the
celling, adjacent to the window. In
a house that has been already built,
two polished metal reflectors con
taining 60-watt lamps can be
mounted between the over-draperies
and the glass curtains. These
reflectors are also standard equip-,
ment, easily installed by your elec
trical contractor.
Choice of Color3 -
Where there Is no space between
the draperies and curtains, a row
of small 10-watt bulbs or several
lumiline lamps may be mounted be
hind the valance or curtain cor
nice. The wiring can be so arranged
that a choice of colored light Is
simply a matter of which switch Is
pressed.
In these modern times, there's no
need to permit the original archi
tectural limitations of a room to
stand in the way of modernity. And
you'll find that the modest Invest
ment yields ample dividends In the
added enjoyment you derive from
your home..
Washington, June 10 Holding an
..exploratory" meeting, house and
senate conferees on the tax bill
agreed on several minor points in
the measure, but passed over major
issues.
"Wt did agree on a few minor
administrative and perfecting amend
ments," Chairman Doughton, demo
crat, North Carolina, of the house
ways and means committee, told the
news men, but otherwise the meet
ing was merely to consider the bill
generally and lay the basis for future
discussions."
There appeared little likelihood
complete agreement on the bill would
be reached before the end of the
week since svral rpublican conferees
are in Cleveland attending their
party's convention.
N0RRIS MEASURE FAVORED
Washington. The senate irriga
tion and reclamation committee
voted to report favorably a bill by

ment 159,962.55 (less interest over

Brock farmer and Implement sales
man, is in serious condition. Tues
day afternoon Weers drove about five
miles from his home, took a strong
dose of strychnine and returned

probably recover, altho there is a
chance he would be paralyzed to some
extent. His act was said to be caused
by financial trouble.

KEARNEY WANTS POOL
Detroit, Mich. The world's larg
est flower order, consisting of more
than three quarters of a million bou
quets and potted plants, will be de
livered Sunday, June 14, to perman
ent shut-ins throughout the United
States and Canada.
The day will mark the fourth an
nual observance of International
Flower Shut-in Day.
This tremendous good will gesture,
most widespread ever made by an in
dustry, will be participated in by re
tail "florists, wholesalers and grow
ers in 2300 cities and towns of North
America, under the supervision of the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery Associa
tion, with international headquarters
in Detroit.
In these cities and towns. Shut-in
Day committees, made up of florists,
have been functioning for several
weeks, gathering names and addresses
of unfortunate men, women and
children who "rarely, if ever, aro en
abled to enjoy flowers, according to
Albert Barber, executive secretary
of the association, who is directing
the movement.
Citizens are aiding the committees
by bringing to them the name and
addresses of shut-ins.
"We hope that every person In
North America who knows a perman
ent shut-in will take his name and
address to the nearest florist," said
Mr. Barber. "Not knowingly will we
overlook any shut-in who is deserv
ing of flowers."
"In the delivering of the flowers
we will ve aided by messenger boys
loaned us by the elegraph com
panies. In many communities thru
out the United States, Junior League
members and church groups will help
us to arrange the flowers in the hos
pitals and in other institutions where
there are shut-ins."
Shut-in Day, explained Mr. Bar
ber, is an entirely altruistic move
ment, made possible through the fact
that usually in June there is an
abundance of flowers.
"The taking of this surplus to the
bedsides of those who ordinarily are
not enabled to enjoy flowers seems
to us the best possible use we can
make of it," he declared. "We want
to spread this June beauty and frag
rance as far as possible on Shut-in
Day. And not one florist's cash reg
ister will ring, as far as flowers for
deserving, permanent shut-Ins are
concerned."
