CONVENTION +.
FOR EQUITY

! Geneva, Feb 15.-Con general
Haskell has sent to Washington
| copies Of three conventions drawn up
by the international Transport Con-
ference. They have to do with in
tc,national efforts to reach agree
mcnts on complicated questions of
i transport and communication. The
most important, from the standpoint
o. the United States, concerns the
regulations of world ports, looking
to the equitable treatment Of COM
merce from the point OF view of in
ternational traffic.
1t is not expected here that the
United States will sign any of these
conventions, but it is pres umed there
will be no disposition on the part of
any signatory power to discriminate
against the American flag, merely
because Washington may not feel in
Il position to adhere to the maritime
ports treaty. The maritime conven-
on text stipulates that every con-
tracing state shall assure to the
ships or all others a treatment equal
to that accorded to its own merchant
marine. This. equal treatment will
apply to the liberty of access to all
ports used for foreign commerce, and
to the handling Of merchandise and
passengers.
All customs tariffs and taxes levied
in connection with the utilization of
the ports must be published before
they are put into operation. A spe-
cial clause reserves to each state the
right to suspend the benefits of
equal treatment to the ship of any
country which does not extend in it's
own ports the privileges outlined in
| the treaty.
The second convention deals with
the transmission of electric power
and involves the granting Of author
ity to stretch high tension cables
across the territory of a state that
derives no direct benefit thcrefrom
The third prepares the way for ac-
! cords between states for the devel-
opmcnt and exploitation Of hydrauli,
forces on international watercourscs
The clauses of this convention pro.
+, vide protection for all states through
which rivers run, and urges the dc.
vclopment Of hydraulic energy.

A Tough Situation

"My wife and four children were
dependent on me for their living. My
stomach and liver trouble of five
years had made me respondent, as no
medicine seemed to help me, and l

NEWCLUBHOUSE
FOR DETROIT

Detroit, Feb. l5.--Already spread
across sheets of blueprints, Detroits
tallest building will be written in
concrete across the downtown sky
line before the end of 1925, when the
32-story "town house" of the Avia-
to Gown and Country Club is COM
pleted.
Rising 352 feet above the street,
the building will be topped by 200
foot Zeppelin tower in which aircraft
as great as the United States Navy's
Shenandoah may be moored. The
height of the finished structure, with
it's tower, will be $50 feet-the equi-
valent of so stories.
The skyscraper, its arch itects claim,
will surpass in magnificence and
splendor any similar clubhouse in
the world, with its great swimming
pool, large enough for water polo, its
golf course to accommodate Is per-
sons at one time, it's many other
social features and the 16 floors of
living quarters for permanent and
transient members.
>Cost of the town house" will be
$2,00O,000. The financing, which will
be without assessment of members,
is in the hands of the Book Estate,
whose dream of making Washington
Boulevard the Fifth Avenue of De-
troit," thus is brought nearer realiza-
ton.
The Aviation Club building will
strike new note, Fred w. Warner,
president, said, in its appeal to the
entire family, as we'll as the indivi.
| dual club member. The club also
will retain its country house and
28O-acre property at Green Lake, near
Pontiac.

Chicago Workers
Own Their Homes

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Scventy five per-
cent of the residences built in Chi
cago during the past year arc owned
by Overall" people, according to
John M. Glenn, secretary of tho
Illinois Manufacturers Association.
"Therc were 1882 residences built
in Chicago in 1929" said Mr.. Glenn.
"Of these, $3.50, all costing under
$4,000, are owned by working peo-
pie, families in which the heads of
the house wear overalls and work
in factories and other industrial
plants.
"The average wearer of overalls
cannot afford to pay $50 month for
rent when he has family to sup
port. When we know that the aver
age working man has foresight
enough to be thrifty and save in
order to purchase his home, we need
have no fear for his civic and social
attitude"

heard of Manriile doing so occasionally when out without me. You see, June let things slip once in a while. Not
 often; she was too afraid of making me
 unhappy. But k knew that Manville often went where there was dancing and took part.
 All day I was excited because of the promised pleasure. Nancy begged me to lie down so that would be rested E You look so i'll, Mrs. Hyde please rest" she urged. But could not. Aunt, however, took a nap about o'clock. After she had been in. her room length Of time sufficient to make it safe I telephoned June that we were going to Randall's for dinner.
 T wish you and Alfred were going. Perhaps Alfred would dance with me"
 ~I'll make him go !" she responded gayiy. .I'm so glad you are going somewhere to cheer you up, Susan. I have worried about you. You looked sick enough to be in bed when l was over.
 I had been, but did not.say so. I was delighted thnt they would be at the restaurant. Perhaps in spite of Aunt Cynthia and my disturbing thoughts of Ruth Markham I would have nice time. |, took great pains with my hair and touched my cheeks lightly with rouge, just enough so that my paleness would not be noticeable, not enough for either Aunt Cynthia or Manville to deteet. My dress was stylish and pretty and in spite of the small hat looked very well.
