BETTER HOMES
DRIVE DUE To
WOMAN
Mrs. William Brown Maloney
Given Credit for Plan by -
Secretary Hoover.
BY HERBERT HOOVER.
Secretary OF Commerce.
(Writtcn expressly for. and copyrighte
1929 bv Cosmopolitan News Service.

(Writtcn expressly for, and copyrighted
1923, by Cosmopolitan News Service.
The better homes" movement
was originally launched by Mrs
William Brown Maloney, who is a
high-grade woman of wonderful
ability.
We undertook to father it in the
United States Department of Com
merce about one and half years
ago.
AS an experiment, Mrs. Brown
organized the women in about $500
towns, and held better homes
exhibits in each town. 1t created
very great interest, and, as a
movement, attracted unusual atten-
dion.
II was found, then, by experience,
that the demonstrations of better
homes" had better take place in
the spring of the year than in the
fall So, the better homes" week
this year will be in June.
Women Are Leaders.
The exhibits are brought about
by the women in each town through
their clubs i'm cooperation with
chambers of commerce and other
civic bodies Their method is. to
borrow a new house and equipment
sufficient 10 furnish it in modern
way. at the same time eXemplifying
different types of houses and fur
nishings suited to different types
OF incomes.
Some Of the principal exhibits re-
late to the things that make Tor
domestic economy, the care OF chll
dren, means of education, and sim.
ilar phases of home life.
Last year. some localities had
four or five better homes" run
ming at one time, while some had
only one There were, perhaps.
million visitors last year, all inter
ssted in better homes.
Each local committee finances IL
self, although the expenses are
very small because everything used
g. volunteered. and there are no
special dealer is allowed to exploit
the better homes movement to
his personal advantage.
Ownership Encouraged.
The Department of Commerce has
assisted IN getting out a plan-book
and various pamphlets bearing upon
better homes generally. which in
elude plans for financing homes,
and things like that.
It is not only a better homes"
movement for better home con-
veniences and things of that sort.
but it is a movement to encourage
home ownership.
One of the curious forces that is
in action at the moment is The
tendency of people of moderate
sized towns TO move into the
suburbs where they can get more
Hight ana land. The automobile is
largely responsible for this, and you
will find this tendency everywhere.
This is very good, too, for there
is enough land in the United
States TO provide everybody with
little piece of his own Nothing
makes more for happiness, content
ment and security than home
ownership.
Architects Help.
The architects have contributed
very materially to this movement
by setting up bureaus of small
home designs. where people can
secure plans. and specifications for
such homes practically at cost.
Altogether. | think the Better
Homes movement has been rather
an experimental movement to date:
but II has taken on such interest
IN different communities, | am in

hopes it can be put into a more
definite and organized form.
The Federation of Women's Clubs
and other women's organizations
chambers of commerce and civic
bodies, mayors and everybody else,
almost, have taken a deep interest
and encouraged the Better Homes
movement: but whatever credit
there is in it, is due to Mrs.
Maloney.

OLD QUAKER CITY
 HOTEL TO BE RAZED

1 PHILADELPHIA, March 30. - Int old Continental Hotel, landmark in Philadelphia, which has sheltered presidents, emperors, princes, gener- als, authors and grand opera stars to say nothing of others of promi- hence in the heyday of it's activity will soon be razed Comfortable but old fashioned, the famous place will give way to a modern 1,200 room hotel to be known as the Benjamin Franklin.
 The Continental, built in 1860, was show place in the East when erect ed Guests marveled at it's grand staircase of polished Italian marble and it's spacious, art-enriched dining hall. It was one of the first hotels to be equipped with an elevator.
 King Edward VII, as the Prince of Wales, occupied the Presidential suite, the hospitality of which was subsequently accorded Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, when he visited the Centennial Exposition in Phila- delphia in 1876. Charles Dickens also occupied the suite.
 The Continental was frequented by Republican leaders of Civil War days, and the Republican National Committee used it's rooms as headuuarters in the campaign for President Abraham Lincoln's re-elec- tion. General Grant was an occa- sional visitor after the Civil War.
 Here, too, the first ambassador from Japan was entertained. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, and all the president from Lincoln to Mckinley registered at the Continental. Other noted guests included Clara Louise Kellogg, grand opera star; Madame Melba, Lillian Russell and Joseph Jefferson.
 J. B. Kingsely, a manager of the Continental, once averted a situation that might have proved embarrassing for President Anrdew Johson. Int mayor of Philadelphia had refused t( receive the nations Chief Executive and Mir Johnson was welcomed il Parlor c of the hotel through thu couresty of the manager. A com mittee of citizens extended the city, hospitality.

MARIA OF MEXICO CITY
 SAILS AWAY FOR SPAIN

MEXICO CITY, March 30.-Actors and actresses in New York who pride themselves on 100 or 200 nights of continuous performances receive scant consideration from Maria Con- esq, Spanish actress, who with run in this city well launched into it's cation and visit the home folks back in Spain.
 Miss Conesa has established a rec cord unique in local theatrical cir cles. Easily the most popular actress who ever trod the boards in the Mexican capital, she has amassed wealth and achieved fame, and when she departed for Spain she was fol- lowed to Veracruz by a trainload of admirers who showered her with gifts and tearfully entreated her to speed her return. And the irony of the situation is that Miss Conesa has been a stage failure both in Spain, her own country, and in the United States.
 The actress record has not been made in one theater She has ap- peared in every large playhouse in the city and her only nights off have been when her company moved from one house to another. It is now proposed to build new theater and name it after her.
 She maintains her own staff of playwrights and assists in staging her own shows, most of which are of the musical comedy variety. For more than four years she has pre- scented three new shows each week. many of them clever satires on cur rent politics. Three times annually she stages benefit performance and these are gala nights among theater- goers. Off stage Miss Conesa is a soberly married young woman whose greatest admirer is her husband.
 Miss Conesa's nearest conception is Esperanza Iris. Mexican actress who has achieved her greatest fame in Spain and South America.

time, in the new freedom which they believed had come to Russia.
 They long today to go back to their native land and are hoping for some change at Moscow which will make it possible for Russians of all politi- cal faiths to return in safety. Their interest in Bolshevist activities is keen Announcement of the expor- tation of grain from both Odessa and Petrograd by the Bolshevists has caused grave apprehension. Most of these refugees still have relatives and freinds back in Russia, and they fear that all outside relief work will be hindered, if not absolutely cur known that the Moscow government is exporting grain from a land where millions of persons are on the verge of starvation and dependent upon imported foodstuffs.
 The announcement of the Swedish Red Cross that it cannot continue to ship grain to a country which is ex- porting foodstuffs is looked upon as forerunner of similar action on the part of other relief organizations. So far the International Red Cross has not discontinued it's work in Russia.

MOVIES

With Dorothy Dalton in the featured role, George Melfords big Paramount production, Moran of the Lady Letty," an adaptation of the novel by the late Frank Norris, will be shown at the Empress Theater for the last time tonight. Rudolph Valentino, who was featured with Agnes Ayres in "The Sheik," MT. Melford's preceding production, has the male lead of Ra- mon Laredo. Charles Brindley is Cap tain Sternersen; Emil Jorgensen plays the part of Nels; Maude Wayne is Josephine Herrick; Cecil Holland is cast as Bill Trim; Walter Long plays Captain Mitchell and George Kuwa is Charlie Wong. This is believed to be one of the strongest subjects for the screen that could be found Frank Norris was a master storyteller whose literary genius. Moran of the Lady Lefty" is an adventure tale of Pacific seass, with thrills and the salt tang of the ocean in every scene. Ethel Clayton plays a sort of femin- inc Jekyll and Hyde in her latest Paramount photoplay, Sins of Ros- anne," which will be presented at the Empress Theater for tomorrow. The picture is a myster-romance, with the bulk of the action laid in South Africa, Stockley's popular novel.
 The heroine is an English girl who was mothered for two years by Malay woman and was imbued by her with a passionate desire for bright stones and the strange power to cause injury to those whom she might hate. When she sees jewels, she comes under the influence of her craving and will stop at anything, even theft, to obtain them. When the lure is taken away, she becomes again a gentle, lovely personality. A beautiful TO- nance develops, according to the story, and destroys the spell.
 An excellent cast supports the pret- ty star in Sins of Rosanne." Jack Holt is the leading man, and Fred Malatesta and Clarence Geldart are also in the company. The story was adapted for the screen by Mary H. O'Connor and was directed by Tom Forman. It is a Paramount picture.

SPRING WORK IS STARTING;
 STEEL BEING DISTRIBUTEC

The work of distributing steel along the Nenana-F Fairbanks division of the Alaska Railroad was inaugu- rated last week preliminary to the standardization of that section of the line. New and heavy rails will be laid over a larger portion of the line, to take the place of the light steel used when the road was built And where standard weight steel is already in use the rails will be widened to standard gauge.
 Weather conditions being favor able, this work will be completed within a few weeks, so that it is reasonably certain standard gauge equipment will be going to Fair banks from Nenana during the early Summer.

WIRE SCREENS PREVENT
 GASES FROM EXPLODING

CHICAGO, March 30. - Discoveries of far-reaching importance to indus trial concerns and others handling flamable solvents such as gasoline oils, have been announced by the Fire Underwriters Laboratories as
 a result of a study of the fire danger from volatile liquids.
 Screens of fine brass, copper or silver mesh, the chemists discovered, will prevent the spread of flames through vapor filled pipes connecting storage tanks of the highly inflam- mable liquids. The investigation was undertaken at the request of one of the worlds largest explosive man. ufacturers to reduce the fire hazard in his factories, but the discoveries will be applicable wherever danger ous solvents are handled.
 The experiments covered flat and cone shaped wire screens in pipes of from one-half to six inches in d- ameter, and showed that when prop erly applied the screens would halt the flames, although the rest of the pipe was filled with dangerous vapor mixture. Mixtures of ether and air proved the hardest to con trol, gasoline being next in order, followed by acetone, alcohol, light oil and amyl acetate.
 The investigation also included benzol, toIuaI, turpentine, kerosene, amyl, alcohol, glycerine, linseed oil, cottonseed oil, palm oil, pararffin oil, chloroform, lard oil, camphor and phenol
