I have an idea that most readers of newspapers overn looked the tance of a recent Hits Us All decision by the Supreme court of the United States. It is only a natural consequence if they did read it and then dismissed the matter from their minds. That result would obtain in many places because the average person, concerned with his own problems, would not pause to trace the application of a rather obscure principle of law even though it is the expression of the highest court. The decision to which I refer was in the litigation that hereafter is going to be known as "the Kansas City Stockyards case." An official and legal title in a court proceeding ordinarily fails to identify it. So, "the Kansas City Stockyards case," it is and will be. But "the Kansas City Stockyards case" did very much more than bring a ruling affecting the immediate parties to that litigation; it applies to every agency of the federal government and, I suspect, its application eventually will be broadened to cover actions by agencies of states and lesser subdivisions of government. That is to say, the decision is of moment to you and me and every other individual in our nation. It is fundamental. Let us see, first, what the controversy was in "the Kansas City Stockyards case." The Department of Agriculture, under a law, has rather broad powers of supervision over public stockyards, one of the greatest of which is the marketing yards at Kansas City. Under that law, the secretary of agriculture is empowered to fix the maximum rates of fees, commissions and other charges made against shippers of livestock into the yards. That is, the secretary may establish those rates "after the facts have been determined," and due consideration has been given to all rights and duties of the parties concerned. Several years ago, complaint was made to the department that the Kansas City stockyards was charging unreasonably high fees. The department had no choice other than issue a citation, hold a hearing, determine the facts and issue an order. The law required that course. But, according to the records in the case, the hearing that was held was something of a farce. All of the complainants were heard, and the department's own investigators submitted their reports. It appears, however, that the stockyards company was never allowed to present its side of the case did not have its day in court. Well, the secretary of agriculture, Mr. Wallace, issued an order fixing new rates; the stockyards company appealed to the federal courts and the case finally wound up in the Supreme court of the United States. That court has now rendered its decision, and that is the reason for this discussion. The highest court did not mince words in overturning Mr. Wallace's rates. It did so, it explained, because of the arbitrary way in which he fixed the rates. They may or may not be fair; the court did not go into that question, but the court very definitely said that any respondent or defendant was entitled to have his side of the case presented and Mr. Wallace had not permitted the stockyards company its opportunity for a fair trial. It may or may not be news to the readers of this column to know that there are upwards of 50 agencies of the federal government that have authority to act as "legislative courts." That is. they are factfinding bodies and from the facts thus found, the agencies are empowered to render decisions that are as powerful as a court decision, except that these agencies can not render a final decision unless those charged are willing to accept the That is to say, finding as final. the accused or those charged may review of the go into court for action taken or the order issued. In "the Kansas City Stockyards case," recourse was had to the court. A precedent and guideline for future orders by this flock of legislative courts, therefore, has at last been established. Impor-Decsio- And why was the Supreme court's decision so important? The answer is Why So that, in that one the highImportant? decision, est court in the rule of law that land laid down again will insure the protection of personal rights. It said, in effect, that the action by Secretary Wallace had been a denial cf constitutional rights of the individual and, Veing such, the secretary had acted as a dictator who recognizes no law. JThe decision was the more important for the reason that such a large number of these legislative courts exirt. They have a habit of and extending their powers; they taka action which constitutes precedent, and in a sub 'i sequent order go further than in the prior one. As precedent is built upon precedent, it happens frequently that after a period of years such an agency is exercising authority never intended by congress. The authority has grown up frequently because none of the respondents have money to contest the case further. It costs money to prove innocence when you are accused by your government. Again, as to the importance of the decision from the standpoint of its scope: there has been an immediate and vigorous reaction by the national labor relations board. That crew started running Immediately after the court's opinion was read. They tucked their tails between their legs and went quickly into a retreat from the bold and brazen position they had held against all who sought to challenge their authority. To see the swagger and braggadocio transformed so suddenly into a meek and lowly attitude-w- ell, any one with a sense of humor could hardly keep from laughing. There never has been a federal agency in my 20 years in Washington that has relegated to itself the arrogant authority, the dictatorial authority, shown by the labor relations board. If the national labor relations act were sound in every respect, the personnel that is administering It would destroy whatever chance it had of succeeding.

In addition to his vast newspaper interests, he is a magnate of electric power and utilities. He was a printer's devil on his father's newspaper In Youngstown, Ohio, and, at the age of twelve, was knocking about country printshops in Ohio on the same job. He became a compositor on the Brooklyn Eagle. Hearing of a vacancy on the news staff, he persuaded the city editor to give him a try at reporting. He hired evening clothes to cover a society function. There, Colonel Hester, owner of Boss Liked the Eagle, was Youth in tremendously im- Hired Tails Pressed with the personable young man with whom he was talking, and thought he had met him somewhere. Young Burton did not remind the colonel that he had seen the young man in a printer's apron a few days before. He became city editor and managing editor ot the Eagle, held important executive positions with the World and the New York Journal and was taken to England by Lord Northcliffe in 1904. Ten years later, he owned all but a few of the Daily Mail shares not owned by Lord Northcliffe. In the World war, he virtually headed the organization of British propaganda, and many of the most stories were damaging attributed to him.

Don't forget to center a striped pattern in the back and the seat of a chair. The crosswise use of stripes may also have possibilities as for the bottom of the chair shown here. Generally the main pieces of a slip cover are fitted and cut right on the piece of furniture with a generous allowance for seams and a tuck in around spring seats. For small shaped sections, sue as the fronts of some chair arms and parts of some wing chairs, paper patterns may be made to use in cutting the fabric. Pin the paper to the part of which you wish to make a pattern, as shown here at A, then mark the outline on the paper feeling your way along the edge line with the side rather than the tip of the pencil point. Cut the pattern inch outside the outline as shown at B. This allows for a seam and should never be taut at any point. When gathers are needed to shape the fabric over rounded parts, gather the edge and arrange the gathers with the cover piece pinned in place as shown at C. Directions for making various types of slip covers are given my book, SEWING, for the Horn Decorator; also many types t dressing table covers, different types of curtains, bed' spreads, and numerous other useful and decorative things for the home.
