fear the possibility of over-produc- ton. Houses are put up to last a long time, relatively speaking, and an over-production in one year may not mean the same thing the fol- lowing year. These are things that regulate themselves during normal times. There would have been no housing shortage in the first place had 1t not been for the abnormal conditions that followed the World War. Where there is a demand capital stands ready to supply it; but this rule of economics was sub merged during and following the war, which resulted in conditions as We have known them. These condi- tions are now over, and we are back to normalcy" in the housing situation; which of course also in- cludes an occasional and temporary over-supply in housing as in other things

THE LEGAL FARCE IN ILLINOIS

The state Of Illinois presents a peculiar situation in its application of criminal justice-or its non-ap- pication of that paramount necessi- ty Of the times. It apparently has come to the point in that state where it Is as difficult to hang murderer as it is to swim the At lantic ocean. If such adventitious excuses against extreme punishment as "cell shock" and insanity are to be thrown in the path of justice. then the courts may as well go out of business in that state so far as criminal procedure is concerned
 Obviously, there is logic on the side of a failure to execute Russell Scott when viewed from the failure to execute Leopold and Loeb. There are thousands, If not millions, Of citizens who are ueCldliliiiiS '0' that if 1t was right not 10 execute Leopold and Loeb, it also was rlsht not to execute Scott; and the same line of reasoning applies to other murderers Thus 1t would be per fact1v logical to permit every other murderer in that state to eXpiate his crime in prison or in an insane asylum instead of on the gauo"s'
 Thus Illinois through the eXpedl- ent of making 8 farce of the admlh- istration of It's justice. reaches the noint where capital punishment IS actually abolished. A nearby state' Michigan, abolished capital punish ment decades ago. and the advan- t,ge Michigan has over Illinois is that if is not necessary to prove
 a murderer insane in order to save him for a life sojourn in prison
 If Illinois juries are by nature soft hearted and prone to be pam boozled by medical experts hired TOT defendant criminals, the next loglcal stAn is to legally abolish capital punishment and follow the M'c''isa' law. By doing this it would rapidly ,ose it's doubtful distinction of being a state where rich criminals or those with influence are deemed insane and poor criminals get execn'eay

Q. Can you give recipe for dill pickles?
 A. Select CuCumbers about four inches long. Wash and dry them and pack in layers in half gallon fruit jars. Place d small bunch of dill and a grape leaf between every alternate layer. When the jar is full pour over the contents a brine made by adding one cup of salt to twelve cups of boiled and cooled water into which q tablespoonful of alum has been dissolved Seal the jar, making sure it is perfectly air. tight and keep in dark place.
 Q, How long does it take for the light of the sun to reach the earth ?
 A. Light travels at the rate of 1S6,324 miles per second. The ap- proximate distance of the sun from the earth is 92,900.000 miles. It takes therefore. a little over eight minutes for the light of the sun to reach the earth.
 Q. What is the amount of food required by the average person for one day expressed in ealories, and 1 in about what proportion for each meal should it be divided?
 A. The amount of food required for q normal person, every twenty four hours rarely exceeds $500 cal l ories. Some persons can do with much less, Of this amount, the pro- ! portion might be 700 oalolfes for 1 breakfast, 700 for lunch or supper and 2,100 for dinner.

AIRPLANE DEVELOPMENT
 GAINS IMPETUS

The dirigible Los Angeles will haul freight. And Henry Ford in tends to send freight by airplanes to a dozen cities in the near future.
 These were two developments registered in one day.
 The government, through the mail service, has been pioneering nobly with airplanes. It is to go still further in that direction. And now Ford buys an entire airplane factory after being convinced of the utility of airplanes in commerce.
 And when freight is carried in the air, speed in delivery will be a prime factor. Freight at 100 miles an hour sounds like a trick played on Father Time.

RUBBER GROWING
 IN PHILIPPINES
Entirely Feasible, Commerce
 Dept. Reports

Washington, Aug. 10 P>-The Philippine Islands gave promise of eventually bringing 10 the American rubber user a part of his crude SUD- ply.
 The commercial department in 8 report today on an exhaustive in- Nestigation of the potential value of the archipelago for crude rubber ex- pressed the opinion that profitable production is possible there.
 The report, representing many months Of study, held that under fa- vorable conditions an annual maxi mum output of 10000 tons could be produced in the islands, in the south- ern portion of which approximately 1,500,000 acres are suitable for rubber raising.
 The lack of political disturbances and the utilization of the present available labor forces in the islands were stressed as factors in reaching this estimate.
 The reports marks the completion of another stage in the departments worldwide survey of the rubber sit nation, started IS months ago at the i instance of congress and the rubber trades, when it became apparent that the legalized restriction of the plantation rubber output in British possessions might menace AmericaI consumers. In recent months high rubber prices feared by the Amer ican industry at the outset of the British restriction program, have been realized.
 Previous department reports have dealt with the British program as how established in that nations colonies. while today's report was de- voted to a study of the possibility Of creating competitive plantation areas in the Philippines. The investiga- ton is being continued to study the advisability of expanding the crude output of South America, Africa and the Caribbean area.
 In the Philippines the survey dis closed considerable commercial rub. her planting now underway with sui fcient plantations in cultivation tc give a highly favorable hope of the islands becoming a new source fol rubber. The para rubber tree, main. stay of the Asiatic plantations, has shown satisfactory progress in the more southern islands. Soil and botanical experts Of the department found that the Q plant there les'

A MODERN CINDERELLA'S
 TURN OF LUCK

It is hard to be q modern Cinder- ella, especially if the qualifications are not 100 per cent perfect There is law, custom, tradition and snoop- ing inquisitiveness to cope with. Not only the modern Cinderella but the fairy godmother-or godfather-is looked upon with suspicion His mo- lives, as well as those of the girl, are questioned A modern Cinderella, instead of marrying the prince and being happy ever afterward' may find herself in a position where she is tired of the notoriety, And the prince may tire of his Cinderella very quickly when he is made aware of all the facts.
 So we find that Edward w.. Browning, the New York multi-mil- lionaire and fairy godfather to two Cinderellas, had to answer all kinds of inquisitive questions flung at him by prying officials Instead of the prince being permitted to lavish his wealth upon his latest charge, there was some official indignation and considerable public criticism, In our matter of fact and materialistlC age, the girl who stepped from the storied kitchen fire, with it's mental pictures in the cinders, and became the choice of this modern prince also had to go through the fires oI inquiry, in which there were no pic lures except the mocking leers oI reality.
 This modern edition of the Madame D'Aulnoy fairy story - ol are we to give credit to Straparola for the original tale is still being unfoIded, and at this writing the odds appear strongly in favor ot the prince ridding himself of his mos recent Cinderella. If the latter wa an adyenturcss she was in striking contrast to the original CindereI'a who was dcmme and sweet llttl miss who deserved all the good for tune she fell heir 10,
 Instead of questioning Browning motives, as unfortunately som critics appear to haze done' on ourbt to be more inclined to sym ra,hize with him. of course ma could have interior motives in fur thoring such transaction but " should be willing 10 give ma credit tor sincerity while such
 possibility lasts. lnJust suspicion as rr,at an evil aS haseIeas goSS'i and in rn, case of Browning tn ,.,rs, lor criticism vas based mot mon assumption of A possi0'Iit rather than upon reasonahi" proba hni-v.
