Small Houses

For the benefit of the small-home
builder who cannot afford the cost of
individual planning by an architect,
there has been incorporated the
Architects Small House Service
Bureau of the United States, says
Popular Mechanics.
Much more complete plans and
specifications for small homes than
are otherwise available to their build
ers have been prepared, and the idea
is to market these through regional
bureaus in much the same way as a
wholesale clothing manufactures
markets his goods. On account of the
wholesale nature of it's business, the
bureau will be able to afford the en-
ployment of the very best architec-
tural talent available. The plans are
for houses Of from two to six rooms
and the average cost for each set of
plans and specifications will be about
thirty-five dollars.

A big alcohol haul was made in
West Grove, Pa, recently, by State

Further efforts to try and locate
automobiles at the bottom Of the

hav been stopped because Of the lack
of funds to promote the work. One
Essex car and several parts from
other machines were found before the
work was stopped.
Newark might keep up with other
towns by placing a Welcome sign at
the entrances of the town. Many of
the towns in this vicinity have such
signs and out-of -the-State motorists
are warm in their praise of the same.

HOWAT DEFIANT In
FACE OF ORDERS
Declares That He VIII Not Obey De-
cision of Convention Which Or
dered Him Back to Work.
(By Associated Press Leased Wirel

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Indianapolis, Ind. = Alexander How
at, president of the Kansas miners
was directed today by the convention
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea to order strikers at the Dean and
Reliance mines to return to work. The
convention decision became certain
ty before the polling of the delegates
was complete.
( Unofficial figures gave a majority
against Howat when the Alabama dele
gates threw most of their yotespto the
administration recommendation favor
ing the order for resumption Of work.
At that time about six hundred more
votes remained to be cast but the mar
gin for the order,~it was said, exceed
ed this figure. The delegates were
unaware that final decision had been
reached and made no demonstration,
the balloting continuing.
Howat in statement later indicated
he would not obey the convention de-
cision. He said:
"The action taken by the convention
is not going to alter our position in the
least, We are standing as we have
from the beginning and the only way
we will advise the men to return to
work is under the same customs and
conditions that prevailed before the
mines were closed by the coal opera
tors"

This Wdnt-Ad
Did the Work

Grief was turned into laughter on
Tuesday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Mary Gbur, 582 South West Main
street, and "Kenosha Evening News"
want-ad helped to cause the transfer
nation. Mrs. Gbur was the Kenosha
woman who on last Saturday lost $3.50
which she was carrying in her stock
ing. Monday evening she placed a
want-ad in the news hoping that the
money had been found and would be
returned. In last evenings edition of
the News, story of her loss was
recounted to aid her in the recovery of
her money but before this had been
published, the want-ad had done its
work
A man, who has asked that his name
be kept out of print, found the money
and returned it Immediately. He de-
clared that he had ample reward in
seeing the. joy which he caused when
he reported that the money had been
found.

the attorneys and Judge Belden dic-s
tated his decision at the close of the
argument. The decision of the court
IS not taken as vindieation of the
conduct of Amberlang, but rather as a
criticism of the methods followed bv
the commission in his discharge from
the force.
May Be Real Precedent.
1t is admitted that the procaednra.
followed in the removal of Amberlano.s
from the force is the same nroceedino
winch has been followed by the COM
mission in many cases in which orders
OF suspension or discharge of members
OF the force have been handed down.
and 1t is expected that there will be
other requests for the reopening of old
cases. 1t is possible that some men
VINO were removed from the force som a.
months ago may make application toa
the courts for rehearing with the in
tent OF making collection of salary
LOT many months. 1t is certain that
the e'fy VIII insist 81 fghtA ce.V
one OF he cases. Il is just possible
that the city may take an appeal TO re
hlgher court in the case of Amberlano.
put no decision in this way will be
reached until after the matter has been
laid before the common council 1T the
meeting he held on next Monday
evening. 1t was admitted that the 6e-
clslon of the court came as a surnr1sa
to the city officials. Amberlane is exl
pected to apply for reinstatement on
the force at once.
City Attorney Surprised.
City Attorney Slater could not con-
ceal his surprise when he received the
order of the court, directing that new
hearing be held. He commented on the
TACT that there was great variance in
the testimony presented before the /
court by the plaintiff and by the repre-
sentatives of the police and fire COM
mission.
Attorney Slater declared that he was
not able to give offhand what the effect
OF the decision might be. He pointed
out that Amberlang had been suspend +.
ed from the force without pay, pending
a nearing of the charges made against
him, and said that this suspension
might hold over until the formal hear
ing and might prevent Amberlang from
collecting pay for the months which4
have elapsed since that time. The fact
that Amberlang has been otherwise en-
ployed may also have some bearing on {
this angle Of the case, said the city !
attorney. He also added that the prin- {
cipal question at stake in the suit was
that Of police pension, since Amber
lang had served on the force for more
than eight years.

ToDAY's QUESTION:

Do you think Earl Loveday should
be freed from the state prison?
ANSWERS:
G. Hogan, I'll N. Sheridan road, nos
pital employee am not in favor of
letting him free because / don't think
he deserves to be freed. He commit
ted a crime and now he must serve
time as his punishment. If every
"lifer" went into prison with the idea
that he had chance to become free in
the near future, the sentence wouldn't
serve it's purpose one bit.
c. Jacobs, 1864 Salem ave., jobless-
If / had anything to do with the case
he wouldn't get any freedom from me.
There are hundreds of other prisoners
there in prison who are serving time
for less serious offences and they will
probably serve their entire sentences
while in this case man serving
sentence for murder is looking for a
Communication of sentence.
Miss Frieda Zinkowski, Clio Racine
ave-, clerk don't know what the laws
are in this state, but l should think
that any law allowing a murderer to
go free at any time after he has
killed somebody is not what I would
call justice. Justice has seen fit to
sentence this man to life and he must
fill it out. There are all kinds of
proverbs to the effect that he who
dances first. pays the fiddler afterward.
Harry j. Comstock, Chicago, Illinois,
salesman-If the facts in the case are
as you say they are, don't see any
reason why Loveday should have any
freedom. Of course, don't know
much about the case, at all. That is
one reason why Chief Fitzmorris of
Chicago is having so much trouble en-
forcing the law in Chicago. The chief
gets the criminal and the judge either
sets him free or sets him aside for
only short term, and the crime wave
continues "A
