ADAMS.” - | you have as a OLYMPIC STAMPS HIT. French Artists Say Designs for Games Are Mediocer. PARIS, April 14—French art cir- cles have expressed disappointment over the special stamps printed to commemorate _the th Olympic games to be held in Paris. Artists feel that the stamps, which will go to every part of the world, should carry something more representative of French art than the Olympic designs which appear on the issue. On one of the issues, appears an athlete with an outstretched arm in the act of saluting. The artists say the athleto is not French in appear- ance, but more of the slav type and certainly unlike the classic Greek. On another stamp is the figure of a woman holding in her hand a statue of liberty. This figure is described by one critic as a “disappointed wom- an contemplating with bitterness a bad bargain just made by buying from an itinerant statute seller for ten sous a plaster cast of victory worth perhaps three.” PRESIDENT SCORED BY SENATOR PITTMAN Nevada Lawmaker Compares Mes- sage to Senate to Tactics of Czars.

PINCHOT ASSAILS WATSON’S ADDRESS Denounces Senator’s Admission That “He Does Not Expect Con- stitution to Be Obeyed.” FLAYS “DRY” ENFORCEMENT Urged Couzens to Consider Appoint- ment of Heney. By the Associated Press. HARRISBURG, Pa., April 14.—Gov. Pinchot admits that he suggested Francis J. Heney as counsel for the Senate ommittee investigating the internal revenue bureau. The gov- ernor said last night he made the suggestion during a conversation with Senator Couzens regarding pro- hibition enforcement.’ He declared he had “no personal purpose or animus” in the matter, but that what he was | after was to “get the law enforced.” He declared that Senator Watson In his references during an address urday to prohibition enforcement “overshot himself," and that “every self-respecting, law-abiding American must resent the spectacie of a United States senator publicly confessing ! that he does not expect the Constitu- tion to be obeyed.” The governor s to put an end to inefficiency which enforcement servic “since that se the law, the know the rea: why."

But 1 assert, and 1 challenge Mr. Watson or any one else to deny it, that it is high time to put an end to the corruption and ineffi- ciency which exist in the federal en- forcement service.

If yours is an office building where janitor ser- vice is supplied to the tenants, you may already know how easy the linoleum floor can be kept clean—especially if waxed. Waxing preserves linoleum, improves its looks, and protects it. A good linoleum floor that is waxed and polished at regular intervals should last for the average life of a building. . When dust falls on this waxed surface, it settles there. ItJs easily brushed up with a hair broom, but it does not stir into the air again. Cleaning is quickly and easily done. Harsh scrubbing and wet mopping are unnecessary. Laying linoleum: over wood or concrete The best method of hying linoleum is to cement it in place over a lining of builders’ deadening felt. The felt is pasted, to the underfloor, and the Imoleum to the felt, with waterproof cement round the edges.

Realizing that in a barrel of apples one spoiled one could easily contaminate all, the Better Business Bureau was organized to prevent contamination of advertising. It is gratifying that the Better Business Bureau can report that generally Washington advertis- ing is truthful and warrants the confidence of the public.
