the right is the stairway. Directly before you is the dining room, Il feet by IT. feet, 10 inches. with a bay which not only gives it plenti- full light, but adds much to it's ap- parent size. A door between this room and the hall insures privacy for the family if a visitor calls at meal time.
 In front of the dining room is the living room, Il feet 10 inches by 1e feet, 2 inches. In front of that is the living porch. six feet wide and going nearly across the front of the house. This porch almost doubles the spaciousness of the liv- ing room The room itself has no f1replace-many do not like that feature in so small a house-and is lighted from three sides.
 At the rear of the house is the service porch. The kitchen is 12 feet, 10 inches by g feet, and gets light from three sides. The ice box is SO placed that it can be filled from the porch. The steps leading to the basement stop at landing on grade level, from which a door opens to the outside.
 Upstairs are two hall closets, bathroom, and three bedrooms. One of these is of generous size. the others smaller. Over all is an attic.
 The house is built of common brick, a material which in sturdi- ness and unpretentiousness fits the design. Any lighter construction would make the house look dimsy. The gypsum plaster inside is put on metal lath, which makes a splendid fire resisting barrier, and the roof is covered with asphalt shingles, another flame fighting substance. An incendiary would have hard work to burn this house, and when Ee got through. four. ffths of its value would remain.
 The first cost Is little if any more than that of frame construction. and the value. after few years of use, is twice as great.
 The Permanent Building Bureau, in the Chamber of Commerce, Chi cago. is prepared to prove these statements and give any help fn construction. -----

COURTS DECISION IS
 FAVORABLE TO TENANT

New York, Dec. s1.-Judge strahl, of the municipal court decided today that a tenant cannot be dispossessed lawfully for refusal to comply with his landlords 6emand for a higher rate if he can find no other place to live.
 Changing circumstances.' said Judge Strahl in dismissing the peti- ton of a landlord in dispossess pro ceedings, make it necessary to mould the law to meet the needs of the peo- pc at this time. Otherwise the hold over rule of law would be unreason- able and shocking to the sense Of Justice"
 The court held that since the ten ant could not find another home, his holding over was unavoidable and that it was due to no fault Of his but to the housing conditions prevalent in New York city since the war
 The decision was hailed as a signal victory by Nathan Hirsch, chairman of the mayors cornIttee. on rent protiteering. who said it would be a decisive factor in similar cases.

TO REGULATE THE SALE
 OF JAMAICA GINGER

Hartford, Dec 31-State Pure Food Commissioner Thomas Holt is con- sider:ng the advisability of formulat- ing rules for the regulation of the sale of Jamaica ginger. His attention was directed to what he considered the necessity of taking action in the matter by the receipt of letter from q manufacturer of Jamaica ginger accompanied by a. copy of label for the approval of the commissioner. The label contained "a formula for a liquid which contained 80 per cent of alcohol. The commissioner con suited with the state department of health and was informed that 80 per cent. was not an excessive proportion and that even 93 per cent. of aleo- hol would not be considered too much.
 The manufacturer in his letter said that it was his intention to have a large number of the labels printed. Commissioner Holt in reply advised him not to have so many labels print cd as he might not need them if he (the commissioner decided on regu- lations which might he adopted.
 Commissioner Holt said today that if it was made clear to him that the federal prohibition law was evaded by the ingredients which go into Ja- maica ginger he would do what he could to prevent the success of the evasion.

RIGHT TO MAKE LIQUOR
 FOR PERSONAL USE

Stamford Conn.,, Dec. S1.-A per son has right to make any kind of mixture he desires for his personal use. Judge Samuel Young said in thes police court today in acquitting Andrew Kosin and Felix Duomagla on the charge of manufacturing de leterious liquors. The court held that under the law it is within per- sonal right to make liquors or any concoction provided there is no in tent to sell the same.
 It was alleged that whiskey was found in these mems houses which they had made. They did not deny making a mixture, and samples were sent to a chemist for analysis, He reported that the mixture was 50 per cent. grain alcohol to which had been added water. formaldehyde, fusel oil and coloring. There was no trace of wood alcohol. The presence of the formaldehyde probably was accounted for in the fact that the alcohol when bought was sold as medicated spirit by the druggist. The men made up a l concoction as a treat at Christmas for friends. They said there was no intent to sell any of it.

GENERAL ANXIETY CONCERNING
 THE ADVANCE IN PRICES

Washington, Dec. 31.-General anx- iety. prevails throughout American business concerning the continued ad- vance in prices, and a readjustment appears imminent, the federal reserve board reported tonight in its review of December business conditions Throughout the boards statement the inference was strongly given that a reduction in prices is due because of a recognized curtailment of buying power coupled with a lack of unani- mity of opinion as to what the future holds
 While retail trade shows great ac- tivity and wholesalers and manufac- turers were represented as being lin- able to supply the demand, the great growth in business was shown tC lSnave been in terms of dollars and moi in units of production. High wages for labor further complicated the sit uation. according to the boards view Practically every federal reserve dis trict reported that skilled labor was working only sufficient days to keeI going resulting in a consequent fall. ing off in production.

A New Years Wish
 By Leigh Mitchell Hodges-

This is a curious New Year wish, know, And yet it is sincere. wish for you That measure of real joys which you bestow Throughout the year; such good as you may do From day to day; such kindness as you show To those who halt through fear or lose the way; Such happy hours as you to children give; Such help as you hold out to those who live Where shadows group to make life cold and gray; Such hopes as you help others to achieve; Such comfort as you bear to those who gfieve; Such peace as your own presence radiates = And thus my wish removes youfar from Fate'sa False prated sway leaving in your own hand The power to gain what you yourself command.

NORWICH VIEWS FUTURE
 WITH CONFIDENT HOPE

Many serious problems confront us with the advent cf the new year; but they will be met, and eoIved in the spirit, and with the sound judgment that have charac- terized the good people of our country, our state, and our city in the past. Every blessing comes only as the reward of persistent effort, devotion to duty, and loyal ty to worthy ideals; and each community's welfare and success depend fundamentally upon the manner in which the individuals who compose it accuit themselves of their various obligations.
 Whilst the history of our nation is a record of struggle and trial and arduous erappIing with obsta- cIes. it is also a record of unintsr- rupted and honorable success; this oureIy gives us the rinht to look into the future with confident hope.
 I r+ u- @II strive tc make 1920 bright, prosperous and happy; we nave the means to do this; and 1t is the writer's firm conviction that the requisite will and deternnina- ton are not lacking.
