Santa Rosa. was the victim OF
some night prowling prisoner was
being held here today.
Miss Haberhauer died during tho
night and her sister. Mary. aged 16,
was critically i'll today from the ef-
fects OF something like pill,
which the younger girl said she
swallowed during the night.
Authorities found the case one
OF the most mysterious they have
encountered.
During the night the younger OF
the two sisters. who were sleeping
together, arose and told her mother
and father, Karl Haberhauer and
wife, that her sister was in con-
vulsions and that she was sick from
swallowing something like pill"
Simple household remedies were
given as first aid and physician
was called.
Johanna, however. died in agony
20 minutes before the physician
reached the Haberhauer home. He
was able to save the younger
sister.

New York.-From $500 to 100000 new houses are needed in the United States every year, John M. Cries, chief of the division of housing of the De partment of Commerce. told the Amer ican Society of Civil Engineers.
 There are now 20,OO0,OOO dwellings in the United States, he. said, of which II, ,OOO,O were in rural districts. He urged the distribution of the peak of new construction over ten months of the year instead of concentrating it in six or seven months as at present. He suggested standardizing types of dwell ings for purposes of economy.

BABY PLAYHOUSE
 . COSTS MILLION
MT. and Mrs. Dan Hamilton, Memphis, Erect Structure for
 Their Two Youngsters.
EMPLOYS ARTISTS FOR JOB
Beautiful Panels Illustrate Characters From the More Popular of the
 Fairy Tales-Miniature Stage Is One of the Features.

New York.-A beautiful, artistic building created by New York artists who flock to Cape May in the sum- mer season, is the $1,0OO,OOO playhouse erected on the country estate at Gen. treville of MT. and Mrs. Dan Hamilton of Memphis, Tenn, for their children, Dan, Jr., and Margaret. It is truly playhouse, fiber, timber and beam. Mrs. Hamilton, sensing that artists were the people to create house radi- ating beauty and the make-believe, commissioned Thomas Hunt and his wife, Dorothy, to build and decorate the playhouse.
 The little house, with it's golden white stucco, walls and steep-pitched red-tiled roof, stands in cluster of ing the sand dunes of the cape and the blue waters of Vineyard sound.
 Beamed With Oak.
 One enters spacious, low-ceilinged playroona, heavily beamed with oak and stained in gold and cerulean blue, the rough plaster walls 7radiating the same golden hue. Here lis big fireplace, faced with orange tiles of special de- signs done in daring lines and hues and giving a touch of the old-world peasant fireplace. Above the fireplace is a low-hung balcony, which invites untold adventure, since it can be reached only by ships ladder.
 Over the fireplace and along the balcony are three panels executed by Mrs. Hunt, illustrating characters of fairy tales-f'Red Ridinghood," "Prince Charming s"The Enchanted Princess" and "Hansel and Gretel." Big win dows let in masses of light, and tiny windows form enticing peepholes from which imprisoned princesses can gaze far down the winding river and search the woods for the approach of the Erince.
 Fully Equipped Stage.
 At the far end of the p1ayroom is little stage fitted with footlights and a spotlight and curtained with a blue and silver tapestry whereon is depict ed the love of Pierrot and Columbine in an abandoned park.
 But perhaps nothing pleases "Dan Ham, and his playfellows so much as his treasure chest. It is of oak, mod eled after famous old Spanish sea chest, with hammered brass corners, straps and lock plate, and with rings around the base to lash it to the deck in rough weather. On it adr. Hunt has wrought in gorgeous and daring color pictorial scenes of pirates bury ing their treasure, and Spanish gal Icons. A close inspection of the char acters brings squeals of joy from the children, for as has been said, the Hamilton group has been used as mo- tiff in many of the designs.
