Accord ng TO the statement of the Ideal
Cement Stone company, cement building
blocks were never so popular as they are
this spring. Many people have Just come
to realize that these stones are durable
and that they make a strong house and
are perfectly satisfactory in every way.
The expanded metal, sold by the North
western Expanded Metal company Of Chi

"They are stupendous.' he said
There's nothing like them abroad. And
as a rule their service is as Incompatible

sometimes American hotel guest is

Thus a friend Of mine went to the desk

TRIUMPH FOR VENEzELos.

Thanks largely to the efforts Of We
nezelos, the nomination Of the High Com
missioner was surrendered by the DOW
ers to the ruler Of Greece, who appointed
his former Premier. Alexander Zaims
TO the post. Nenezelos declined To he
come one Of his ministers. taking the
ground that by avoiding Office he would
be moro advanta geously situated, as
leader Of an overwhelming majority i'm
! the Cretan legislature. to pursue his OBJ
/ Ject and his policy, namely. the union of
the Island to Greece. and it may he re-
called that in 1908 the Cretan Chamber
! OF Deputies, by an almost unanimous
vote, enacted the union of the island 10
! Greece.
This was Just about the time Of the
coup d'ttat at ConstantinopIo. resulting
in the overthrow Of the Hamidian regime.
and while the High Commissioner Zai-
mis- refrained from giving his sanction

Nenezelos's extraordinary popularity /.
in Crete extended TO Greece. and when T.
the elections took place for the National /
Assembly, summoned by royal proclama- /
tion with the object of revising certain /
nonfundamental articles of the consti- /
tuition, he was chosen by so many con-
stituencies in Greece to represent them
that the election was converted into
something very much akin to plebiscite 4.
in his favor. After having taken coun- :,
sci with his followers in Crete. he de
cided to respond to the call Of his coun-
tIymen on the mainland convinced that
he could further more cficaciously the
cause of the island as a powerful force
at Athens than If he remained at Gambia
Accordingly he resigned his seat in the

of the foreign powers
