FEW OF GOVT HOUSES STILL
 TO BE SOLD

There are a few of the government
 built houses at Grassmere and Old Mill Green still unsold A number of home-seekers are looking the proper ties over every day and Harry 4. Bunes, who has charge of the selling Of the houses, says that he expects
 that the bargains will all be picked Up in a short time.
 Some of the visitors who were very
 anxious to acquire these houses did
 not wish to withdraw their money from the savings banks until after the first of the year as they would lose the interest on their deposits by doing so.
 After the computation of interest by the banks MT. Burnes says that he
 has no doubt that deposits will be
 made on all the remaining houses. The deferred payment plan adopted by the U. s. Housing Corporation is proving very popular with the pur- chasers.
 The payment of 10 per cent. of the purchase price on signing the agree ment to purchase, and the payment of one per cent. a month on the bal ance is an attraction to many. Some of the houses can be bought as low as 4,30o and the purchaser has to pay only $43O down and S43 a month until the balance is paid. In Il years the purchaser becomes the owner of the property free and clear of all in curnbranceS.

 Out By Rival Factions

 God has placed coal in this island for our use, and we are out to get it. Is there any harm in getting mar ket price for an article, even if 1t is pound per ton?''
 This viewpoint has been strongly challenged by the miners leaders. Vernon Hartshorn, Labor member of Parliament counters with the fol- lowing:
 Against this creed of Radcliffe's $ I put the creed of the miners, which is this, God has placed coal in this island for the benefit of the nation. and We are out to get if for the good of alI''

NEST END.

Viola Dana, the clever little Metro star who will be seen at the West End theatre in ''The Parisian Ttgress," the gripping romance of the Parisian underworld to be shown today, plays the role of gutter waif, a character that shows the young actress in her best vein.
 The part is utterly different from anything Miss Dana has hitherto played and brings out her powerful dramatic abilities at the same time giving her ample opportunity to dis play her winsome and charming per sonaity. It is a play of decided origf- na1ity and power.
