BUILD HOMES FoR EMPLovEs.

Manufacturing Concerns Take otsps
to Relieve Housing Shortage
BY Associated Press.
Pittsburgh, April 1s.--lmportant m
dustrial corporations In the Pitts-
burdgh district are financing home
building operations by their en-
ployes TO relieve the house short
are In mill and mining COM
munities. For tho general pub
lie, trust companies have adopted
similar plans. and are now 40
cepting what they term "inStall-
ment mortgages" to encourage house
erection.
The most ambitious program OF. the
lot is that Of the United States steel
Corporation. Under this plan an en-
ploye. who is willing to make an ini-
tial investment OF ten per cent OF the
total cost, is permitted to select from
a large number Of plans the kind OF
house that will suit his family. He
then picks out lot, usually near his
place Of employment, and the COR
poration's architects and builders do
the rest. When the house Is COM
pleted 1t is turned over to the en-
ploye who pledges himself to pay for 1t
in monthly installments covering n
period Of ten years, the total cost being
Just what the cost has been to the
corporation. Altho the plan is scarce

Of building is already swamped with
applications.
The Westinghouse Electric & Man.
ufacturing Company also has a
building plan. and has just completed
and sold fifty houses at cost. They
too are to be paid for on the INSTALL
ment plan. Another and much larger
program is in preparation.
The merit of these plans, builders
say. is that materials can be purchas-
ed In large quantities. and the saving
passed on to the workman buyer, who
thus gets much better home for less
money than If he had bought the ma
terial and erected the house as an
individual.

cracks at Kilbane. He is clever lad
with a good wallop, and his support

Now Miller has been signed up Tor
a ten-round no-decision bout with
kilbane~ at Lorain April q. Being a
o-decfsion battle, the bout doesn't
assume great Importance as would a
real title contest. But should Miller
drop the champ or outpoint nm
there'll be a cry for a decision con-
test. It's good bet that Dunn
wouldn't send Miller against Johnny
if he knew that Miller might suffer
from the results.
Miller first met kilbane at Cedar
Point in 1915 and most of the critics
gave Kibane a shade. Some gave
Alvie a draw. The following season
the pair fought twelve rounds at
Youngstown and Kiibane won easily,
dropping Miller in the fourth round.
Only Miller's gameness pulled him
thru the twelve cantos.
In view of the existing conditions
the bout, promoted by Chief Kelly

AT 10 O'CLOCK p. N.
SMALL AMOUNT CASH TAKEN
Thief Gains Entrance by Climbing

Floor--WindoWs Broken.

One of the boldest burglaries re-
ported from local police circles in re-
cent months, took place at 10 o'clock
last night at the home of Mrs. Jerry
Howell on South Main street. The
burglar, whose identity is unknown,
escaped with $12 in money. Nothing

According to Patrolman Stages,
who lives nearby, and who was called
to the place at the time of the rob
berry, Mrs. Howell was sitting on the
front porch, talking to neighbor who
lives just across the fence. Her
daughters had gone to show down
town, and her fourteen year old son,
Leon, had retired, occupying a room
upstairs Suddenly a light flashed.
and within a. moment later crash of
broken glass was heard. Mrs. How
ell rushed upstairs to ascertain the
cause of the trobule and found the
light on in her daughters room. with
the light burning and three glass in
the window broken. Hurrying down
stairs Mrs Howell called Patrolman
Stages, who rushed to the scene.
When the officer arrived he found the
burglar had made good his escape.
However, the purse which had con-
'tained the money was found lying in
the yard near the window
According to Leon, when his moth
er called the officer, he heard some
Une jump from the window and run
across the roof of the porch.
1t is believed by officers that the
burglar reached the window by climb
ing up the latticed porch to the roof,
Articles of clothing were found scat
tered upon the floor, dresser drawers

left Just as the burglar completed the
search.
officers say they have not given up
hope of landing the burglar yet, and
that several clues will be traced down.

GAS IS STRUCK
in WELL DRILLED
IN MAURY COUNTY
STRONG INDICATIONS OF OIL
FOUND NEAR PoTTSViLLE
WEDNESDAY.
GAS FLOW At EIGHT FEET
Was Fourth of Wells In This Locality
In Which Gas Has Been struck at
Various Depths During the Past
Few Year..

Drilling for water on the farm of c.
r. Lumsdcn, thirteen miles east Of
Pottsyille in Maury county, Wednes
Gay afternoon, at depth of eighty
feet gas was struck, giving splendid
Indications of oil in paying quantities.
r. S. Hardison, who has "a lease on
Gil, gas and mineral rights on some
800 acres in this section left this
morning for the scene, and intends
to have the gas analyzed as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Hardison stated this morning
that the well which was brought in
yesterday is the fourth within radius
CT 800 yards which has shown a strong
flow of gas. Several years ago a we'll
was drilled about 3OAyards away at
depth of 80 feet a strong flow of gas
was struck. The well was plugged
and abandoned. A short time later a
second well was drilled a few hun
dred yards away, at depth of 100
feet gas was struck, and still fourth
well in the same neighborhood
brought in gas at a depth 'of 200 feet.
Speaking to a reporer, Mr. Hardi-
son said this morning that he felt sure
there is large pocket of gas there,
and possibly q considerable pool of
oil He said drilling would be contin-
ued in the well which brought in gas
yesterday. ....r
Mr. Hardson is firmly convinced
there Is oil in this section of Maury
county, and has quietly taken leases
on property and intends to make
thorough investigation before aban-
doning his hope of striking oil in pay
ing quantities.
