Tttey're coneys. Or, mora specifically, a rabbit's akui Isn't a rabbit's (kin, especial ly If If a foreign rabbit-, It's a a coney akin. The furrlera fetched a Iran three modela (liumaiu. not rabbiui to support thtlr point. The argument cam up beoauat of a fur law pained by congreaa. Under this law. all lura must be correctly labelled. The FTC la trying to decide what a correct label la. It haa com up with a tentative Hat of fura. And It also haa auRgmtcd that, to keep a outtomer from being eon lusrd, no other animal should .be named in describing the fur. No leopard-Ilk coneya, or chinchilla coney. Furthermore, no coneya.

One coat looked like a leopard akui, another Ilk a- beaver skin and a third Ilk a seal skin. Joseph Vandeweghe of New York arguea that you almost have In use the name of another animal to describe the coats proerly. For Instance, he called the first roat a leopard-dyed coney. Under th commission' proposed rules, plain old spotted rsbblt. On the other hand. Joseph II. Frsncls executive secretary of the national board of fur farm organ isations, aald he thinks the com mission Is on the right track, and that the fur people have been wrong In calling a apad a club-like spade. "Continued persistent pursuit In doing wrong." Prancls ssld, "can t mak lb right." DRINKING PAYS OKP COLUMBUS, O., "n-atale Liq uor Olreotor William C.

Don't try to do It, he advised, by the 40-year-old system of an nual membership fees, for In that way lie debt and eventual bank ruptcy. It work out like this, he said:- Nationwide studies have shown thst the average cost of "servic ing" clumber of commerce rent, light, heal, salaries, "general housekeeping," etc. runs up to a total of I2S per member per year. If you are trying to operate your chamber on the basis of an an nusl membership fee of $2S, you are running Into the hole at the rale of S3 per member per year. If you accept tne dictum mat volume Is th answer snd put on a big membership drive at a tee of 'lb per year, about all vou are really accomplishing is running up vour deficit. Besides, he said, you are falling to do the real job that n chamber of commerce must do II It Is to be Auccessiui tnst is. expanding the Industry, agriculture and tourist income 01 your com munity so thst new money and new opportunities for lobs msv be kept coming In In a steady stresm. In that way lies growtn. wnicn is what all Amerlcsn communities want. ITie right way. he told his hear ers.

Leon ard told the chamber directors. "I want you to understand that I mean that," he said. "I'm not lust being complimentary. Your area Is Immense, and your resources are as yet practically untouched. You haven't more than scratched your agricultural possibilities. Your In dustrial "development has barely begun, having been confined so far largely to skimming the cream Irom your virgin timber stand.
