Three bedrooms in a f1ve-room
house is an unusual feature of this
attractive home. This because a
dining alcove is substituted for the
regular dining room.
In other ways, also, this plan
demonstrates the best kind of econ
omy. Ordinary materials are used
in stock sizes. Even the woodwork
is in stock designs that harmonic
with the development of the whole
building. Stucco is generally con-
sidered an economical material for
construction, and requires almost no
upkeep. Notice the plain outlines
of the house and the roof.
These considerations make for
weather-tightness and economy.

Producing managers during the past moAth
have been deluged with manuscripts Of new plays
by authors and playbrokers. The American Play
Company, the Century Play Company and other
playbrokers have been unloading an average of
more than 200 new plays a day into the pro-
ducers' offices. Besides the supply delivered by
the brokers, authors and their emissaries have
been distributing an average of another 100 plays
day.
1t is claimed by the producers that due to the
fact that so many plays had been produced this
season and that business was much better than
anticipated toward the end of last year that the
authors and playbrokers have taken the liberty
to keep the producers well supplied with manu-
scripts
From the various scripts that have been sub
mitted it seems as though the types Of the dra-
matte plays run in "fad" fashion.
Many Of the authors seem to be OF the me-
chanical order, for they seem to have ground out
plays similar to those now current on Broadway
which have proven successes.
A fair portion Of the plays submitted are OF
the mystery type.

meeting in the recognition confer
ence' at Mexico City, have reached
an agreement in principle for set
tlement of the troublesome contro-
versy over the elimination of Amer
lean oil properties form confisca-

This question of policy heretofore
followed by Mexico of confiscation
of American oil properties has been
the principas difficulty between the
two countries since the so-called
Carranza confiscation was adopted.
In recent years this has constituted
"the Mexican question itself.
1t is understood here that this
agreement, reported from Mexico
City, will take this form: An agree
ment will be drawn up between the
two countries by the commissioners
of the two sides promising that the
Mexican congress will pass a law
definitely and finally declaring arti-
Gle 81 not to be retroactive and that
during the period until this law is
passed the Mexican government
pledges that retroactive interpre-
tation will not be given the artjele.

observer. it would seem as though
very few people were left IN III

was easily the most popular spot N
the resort, for the day was warm,
and the coolwaters offered an at

opportunities for powder burns and
premature explosions, but no serl-

were exceptionally good and were
witnessed by a large crowd which
remained until the last 8 good
