ZBy the Assoclated Press. - RT, Ky, March 11.—A ve-year fight to keep Cumberland Falls =free from hydro-electric exploitation is “ended with enactment of a bill by the Kentucky Legislature accepting an offer “of former United States Senator T. Cole- man du Pont of Delaware to donate $280,000 to buy the falls and 2,200 acres for a State Park. < Mr. du Pont is a native Kentuckian _Cumberland Falls is the largest cataract ‘east of the Mississippl except Niagara. ‘The last of the necessary legislation was enacted at a session last night by ~the Senate, after a spirited fight be- tween the Democratic-controlled Legis- lature and Gov. Flem D. Sampson, lone Republican State administrative officer. He vetoed the Du Pont accept- ance bill and a companion bill givi the State Park Commission power of eminent domain, but both were passed over his veto. ‘The Legislature’s actlon means defeat of the efforts of the Cumberland Hydro- Electric Co., an Insull subsidiary, to ob- tain a Federal license to erect a power development at the falls, Because of the protests made against ;nnflng the license, members of the ederal Power Commission last year made a short visit to the falls, miles from the nearest railroad and paved highway, in Southeastern Kentucky. This was shortly before the death of Becretary of War Good, who made the 1ri) P An amendment to the bill as enacted gives to the State the power to create a er development later, if so desired. g:l: park commission is directed to pro- ceed without delay to condemn the Jands needed for the State park.

LIFE STORIES l “The great man quits his graft and dies, forsakes his high and noble trade: then his biographers arise, before the undertaker's paid. “We want to get our books on sale,” they say, as they roll up their sleeves, “before the subject has grown stale, while yet the stricken nation grieves. He'll be forgotten in & year, for greatness is a transient thing, and if we do not hump we fear the work will little income bring. We haven't time to dig for facts to show wherein his course was wise, to learn the purpose of his acts, his inner soul to analyze. We'll sling together anec- dotes, and any bunk that comes to hand, and if the work brings in the groats, what matter if it isn't grand?” It seems to me they ought to let the great man slumber with his sires at least a year before they get too busy with their pens and lyres. It would be better yet if they would let him sleep a full decade before they started in to play their biographic serenade. If we would estimate a man, we have to study his career, back to the time when he began to make his little message clear. We have to read a million notes on pa- per old, in ink that’s dim; we have to trace a hundred goats that men have lost by trusting him. We have to inter- view the cops, to see how often he was fined for disregarding boul'vard stops, and being to the speed laws blind. If we would size him up aright, we have to study his career; we cannot do it in 2 night, or in & mouth, or in a year. And yet the great men scarcely croak before biographers cut loose, and make their memory a joke with dizzy volumes they produce. ‘WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1930.)

F Street at Eleventh - National 3770 All the Splendor and Charm of Oriental Rugs at Prices a Fraction of Their Cost Experts Deceived At a private showing, an Oriental rug con- noisseur was invited to select from the many rugs a true Oriental. “That is easy,” he said. Yet the rug he selected was a Bundhar Im- perial Lustra in a fine, old Ispahan design. These Prices are Only One-Fifth to One-Third Like Parisian Dresses, Exquisite Oriental Rugs Are Now Reproduced At Very Little Cost OMEN who have cher- ished the desire to possess the beauty of a fine Orien- tal rug, but have found the price prohibitive, may now realize their dreams. For now, like Paris gowns, Oriental rugs are reproduced at prices a fraction of what the originals would cost. And, like the gowns, they possess all the charm and beauty of the masterpieces of which they are replicas. MONG the Oriental pat- terns reproduced in these Bundhar Imperial Lustra Rugs are fine Sarouks, Kirmans, Ispahans and Ferahans. HIS week we are making a special display of these beau- tiful rugs in the Rug Section on the Fourth Floor. The Luster Lasts Bundhar Imperial Lustra rugs have the same rich sheen as true Oriental rugs—and this luster lasts. One of these rugs was sub- jected to the equivalent of three years’ wear, then French dry cleaned.
