s0UTH AMERICA IS
SHORT OF HOUSES
GOVERNMENT. PLANS TO SPEND
$50, 100000 TO PROVIDE
MORE HOMES.

RIO DE JANEIRO-Both federal
and municipal governments are about
to take action to relieve the shortage
Of houses here.
In the Chamber Of Deputies q bill
has been introduced providing for a
special bong issue Of $50,0OO,O00 for
the construction of houses for work
ing families. In the Municipal Coun-
Gil a measure was presented provid-
ing that all workers houses built in
the next two years be free from the
usual municipal taxes.
The federal bill proposes the con-
struction, under the municipal admin
istration, of 10000 houses in various,
districts of the capital wherever ma
nionally municipality owned ground is
available. It is intended that the
houses shall be sold to heads of work
ing families, payment being spread
over priod of 20 years. In addition
the bill provides for the construction
of two huge apartment houses, for
families and for bachelors, respective
ly, with common kitchens and other
communal installations, the rent be-
ing placed at a very low figure.

HUNT FOR BURIED
SPANISH TREASURE
SCIENTIST BELIEVES SEARCH
ERS ARE DOOMED TO GER
TAIN DISAPPOINTMENT.

GALVESTON, -Searchers
after buried silver on the mainland
opposite Pete Island, 18 miles south
east of Corpus Christi, Texas, prob
ably are doomed to. disappointment,
in the opinion of DR.. J. o. Dyer, a
local writer on historical and scienti-
fic subjects. The rush of treasure
seekers began with the discovery re-
Gently Of 25 skeletons, popularly be-
lieved by many to be those of mem
bers of the crew of Spanish treasure
ship which foundered off the Texas
coast early in the Eighteenth century.
No record is available of any such
wreck.
The "life" of skeleton buried in
the sands of the beaches of the costal
country, DR.. Dyer points out, is not
over 40 years.
He says also treasure ships from
Mexico to Spain were discontinued
after 1920, partly because of the ac-
cancers.
Even before that time the Spani-
ards tried to avoid excessive losses
from storms and Laffite's fleet of
vessels and so Spani-
ards transported less than 20 tons of
silver bulletin to the vessel Then,
the current rate in Mexico was ap-
eproximatly $40 a troy pound. The
most valuable of all Laffite's prizes,
the SeviIla, carried only $15O,O0O in
specie.
Laffite's captured treasure, accord
ng to the records extant, was buried
n three caches. Two of these were
ocated on Galveston Island and the
hird on a small island to the east,
which was completely washed away
Turing storm in 1929
There have been many reports of the
discovery on this coast of caches Of |
DIN or chests from trading ships con-
aiming from $4,000 to $4,000.

MEDITERRANEAN
ISLAND RESTLESS
PEASANTS WHO CAN NEITHER
READ NOR WRITE WANT
F-GOVERNMENT.

ROME-The spirit of unrest has
penetrated since the war even to such
old world and out of the way spots
as the Island of Sardinia. Among
these picturesque peasants, many of
whom cannot read or write, though
they are often people of dignified
manners and strong character, public
opinion is diffused by word of mouth
and strong party has arisen lately
whose motto is Sardinia alone" who
think that the Island, which is the
second largest in the Mediterranean
would be more prosperous if it gov
erned itsf and had little or nothing
to do with Italy.
In ancient days Sardinia was one of
the great graneries of the world, sup
plying first Carthage and later Rome
with immense quantities Of grain.
Now d large proportion of the Island
is uncivilized and about one-fifth is
covered with forests, chiefly consist
ing of holmoaks and cork trees. The
most valuable exports however, are
from the mines of lead, zinc, anti
nomy, copper, silver, Ignite and an
thraclt, which if only thoroughly de-
veioped would be a source of great
riches.
1ne Sard1nlanS are a splendid
fighting race and not only during the
late world conflict but throughout the
Napoleonic wars and the Middle ages
provided some of the staunchest sol
diers in Europe. The Sardinians have
always considered their island the Gin
derilla of United Italy. They say that
they have been alternately neglected
and taken advantage of by the CEN
trail government, education has been
the malarious state of
the country has been ignored, few
roads or railroads have been provided
in order to develop it's resources,
while government money has never |
been forthcoming for its needs.
The peasants of SARDINIA declare
hat this is the moment when SARDINIA
might start on the road to regenera-
ion and reconstruction, moral, COM
nercial and economic but if it is, as
# old, abandoned to apathy and want
If initiative ruin is certain. A deep
spirit of discomfort and irritation is
PREVALENT. The Sardinians call them
selves "the Irish of the Mediterran-
IAN" and large party is being form
ID of those who desire to work out
heir own salvation and at least for I
certain time to be entirely inde-
'endent of the mother country, which
hey accuse of having treated them
more like the typical stepmother.
they ask to be allowed to take their :;
estiny in their own hands.

MOHAMMEDAN RULER
A MUCH FEARED MAN
NATIONALISTS SELECTION OF
OSMAN AGHA TO SECURE
RECRUITS SUCCESSFUL.

KERRASSOUNDE, ANATOLIA,
| TURKEY EY-Osman Agha, the newly
desnignated governor of Kerrassoun-
de, is probably the most feared man
on the north coast Of Anatolia.
] When the nationalists slected Os-
man Agha to impress Greeks, Arme-
mans, Jews and Turks alike into
Mustapha KemaPs army, they took
into their camp man who would
have been a terrible menace in op-
position ranks and who is merciless
in executing the orders of the Angora
government
Osman Agha has been for years the
self-constituted boss of Kerrassoun-
de. In office or out of office he is
master of the local situation. Until
recently he was only mayor of the
little city. But no provincial COVER
nor could give the old bandit chief
orders. In fact he always managed
to unseat all provincial officials. He
transcribed wallis, metropolitans and
bishops. Turks, Greeks, Armenians
and Jews fear him alike, but had to
obey his orders. He took over prop
erty which he wanted without legal
right and threw anyone into prison
who cushioned his authority.
Osman Agha was even a self-con-
stituted regulator of women's fash
ions. He hated the high heeled shoes
and short skirts which Moslem wo-
Consequently he issued an edict that
no Mohammedan woman should wear
a heel more than one inch high and
that their dresses should come to the
ankle. Then he Immediately sent
word to all the shoemakers and dress
makers that they would be jailed if
they executed orders in violation Of
his edict.
He dried up Kerrassounde by meth |
DDS as direct as those of the late Car
rie Nation. Without warning he
went to all the liquor shops and pour
ed all the spirits into the street. 1t t

immediate choice is a matter of vital
Thoroughly organized
institutions like the university. with
experienced men in charge of every
department, will operate quite sue
cessfully in the absence of a pres
ident. It must be remembered, too,
that such consequential appointments
as this should be made deliberately"
Commissioner Bryan himself has
been directed by the university ex-
ecutive committee to assume all
necessary responsibility for decisions
which must be made Immediately.
He will be present when the institu-
lion opens and will be on the campus
