Don't wait for your landlord
to raise your already high rent
$3.50 more or to ask you to get
out so that he can rent your
apartment to some one foolish
enough to pay 500 more than
you pay.
If at present you are paying
an average high rental for an
apartment, by making. a rela-
lively small initial payment
down you can in a surprisingly
short time own your own home
and pay for it out of the rent
which you are now paying.

Philadelphia, Oct. 20.-Friends of Ell
mer o. Drewes, slain Dartmouth col.
lege senior, and detectives continue to
differ as TO the possibilities of there
being woman in the case.
The story of Charles Schloss of New
York, chum of Drewes, has tended to
strengthen previous statements by in
Inmates of the dead student that hewas
not man who would be implicated
with women. Schloss said that so far
as he knew Drewes never had been in
love and did not have much time for
women.
Schloss was questioned by Major
Wynne of the county detective bureau.
He reviewed the movements of Drewes
only as far as o'clock on Saturday
afternoon when he met Drewes at At
lantie City and pail small debt.
Drewes asked for loan of $500 at
that time, saying it was his intention
to buy an automobile. Schloss said
that he could not spare the money aud
so refused him. Drewes seemed to
have something on his mind and re
mained very quiet, Schloss said.
Mrs. 4. Hanson, an aunt of Drewes,
with whom he conducted an eating
house at college, corroborated the
statements of Schloss concerning his
association with women.
The mystery to-day apparently was
as far from solution as it was when
the body was found OF Sunday propped
