Queensland Government
Sells Homes to Workers

The labor government of Queens
land, Australia, has expended approxi-
mately $16,OOO,OOO in the last eight
years In the erection of between 5000
and 5000 houses which have been sold
to the people, said Premier Edward g.
Theodore in an interview at the Aus
tralian commissioners office, A White
hall street, according to the New York
Times.
Mr.. Theodore who has been premier

In Australia, for nearly nine years, ar
rived in New York by way of Canada
and was on his way to London to ar
range for the refundlng of loans
amounting to approximately $125.0OO.-
600.
Premier Theodore explained that the
housing shortage was quite as bad i'll
Australia as elsewhere and said that
under the scheme to build workers
homes the government bought the
land, erected the houses and then sold
them to individuals, who paid weekly
installments no higher than ordinary
rent. At the end of fifteen or twenty
Queensland is spending $2,00O,O00 this
year for 1000 dwellings to be sold in
the same way.
Premier Theodore said he expected

strating that his policy was workable
and sane II he succeeds, said Mr..
Theodore, 1t will have Q great effect
throughout the British empire.
Among the accomplishments Of the
labor party in Queensland in nearly
nine years Premier Theodore recited
the institution of the compulsory arbi-
tration act as among the most sub
stantial. as 1t practically did away with
strikes.
Under government direction the cot
ton fields Of Queensland are being de-
veloped intensively. Farmers from the
United States will be asked in year
or two to migrate to Queensland to de-
velop the cotton fields. with the in
| ducements of land at low rates and
| government assistance until their
farms yield substantial chops.

Glastonbury Thorn Was
Staff of St. Joseph

The beautiful story of the >Glaston-
bury thorn begins in the dawn OF
Christianity with Joseph Of Arimathea,
one of the devoted band of disciples
sent forth to carry the gospel to the
ends of the earth.
st. Joseph was accompanied by
twelve others, and the little company
of zealots pursued their weary way
to the west of England, to the ancient
Isle of Avalon, says the Detroit News.
When Joseph and his companions,
footsore, hungry and weary. one day
Mt twilight came to a hill southwest
of Glastonbury and saw fairyland
valley beneath wrapped around by the
silver ribbon of the Brent river, they
knew their wanderings were over and
that there they should raise citadel
of faith to their risen Lord.
Deep into the earth Joseph struck
the staff that had given him such good
service on the long march, as a token
that his work should take root there
and flourish. This thorn staff was a
cutting from the very Palestinian
thorn tree, according to tradition, from
which thirty years before had been
stripped branches and pointed leaves
to make the crown of mockery worn
by the Man of Sorrows on the cross
The staff so impulsively planted
took root, according to the legend
and blossomed strangely enough at
Christmas, as well as In the summer
time, at the same time bearing ripe
fruit. 1t was said that Joseph also
brought with him to Glastonbury the
holy cup. known as the holy grail.

Following Senator Tess, Senator

situation:
''Of course, this must be said. and
we want to be fair: If one examines
the price of cement and brick and

1t was in 1914 and 1919 Some build
ers have told me that prices are $50

prices, and, of course. these higher

Agreement Is Reached.

The chairman of the District COM

was willing, the Senate alone would have
to decide the point. Senator Overman
wanted assurance his amendment would
be considered and, after a conference
with Senator Ball, he withdrew objec-
tion, and the Senate agreed to the one
year provision.
For nearly an hour the Senate
then discussed the housing situation
in Washington from various angles
before a final vote on the resolution
was taken.
Senator King of Utah opposed ex-
tension of the rent. law, taking the
position that while there are condI-
tions here to be corrected he did not
regard the rent act as the proper
cure.
"If the many honorable and upright
real estate dealers, contractors ana
builders would organize to cure the
evil practices known to exist ana
would bring rents down to a fair ana
reasonable level, they would be serV-
ing not only the public, but their own
interests and there would be no de-
mand for rent laws and rent com
