 IDEAS IN HOUSEBUlLDlNG

LONDON, July ?. (P)-The London County Council is tired of the ortho- dox white or red brick house and is going to experiment with buff brown, red and white colored concrete build ings.
 The councils architect, G. T. For rest, said recently there was some thing monotonous in a long series of dingy grey houses and, having notic- ed on a recent visit to the United States an attempt had been made to relieve this monotony by the use of colored materials, he intended to fol, low suit.

STOCKHOLM, July 2. P)-More room for cradles and fewer military barracks is the order of the day in Sweden By it's recent vote the na tional legislature has sustained the proposal of the Social-Democratic gov ernment to cut down the number ot army corps from six to four and to reduce all army and navy expenditures accordingly.
 All the parties of the Left, Liberals Establishments and Communists supported this move in the teeth of determined opposition from the right wing conservatives. At the same time the officers rooms in one of the former regimental barracks of Stock. holm have already been reconstructed into emergency tenements for families unable to procure other housing, and the city itself runs a real estate bu- reau, where information may be had free of charge as to where vacant flats or houses may be found

CHINESE SENTENCED TO LONG TERMS FOR
 KEEPING SLAVE PEN

SHANGHAI, June 30. (P)-Thirteen boys, some of whom have been i'm prisoned in a filthy, airless sweat ship for six years, were identified and claimed by parents in the French Mixed Court here recently. The luc- ky youngsters were part of a group of 31 rescued by the French police.
 The identification came as an in terlude in the trial of Yu Pa-hong, proprietor of a workshop, accused, together with his wife, concubine amah and three other accomplices, of maintaining a slave pen in which the children in question worked from early morning until midnight, underfed, beaten and never allowed to see the light of day except such as filtered thru small barred win dow.
 Tales of torture for insufficient in dustry, attempted revolt or inability to labor on account of illness were 1 told by the waifs in a manner to bring tears to the eyes of listeners. Many of the children were stolen from their parents and sold to Yu for $5 each. Others were hired out as apprentices by parents little mindful of their fate. They were en- ployed in making brass articles, glassware and matches which Yu dis posed of on a Seward Road store Three or four died as result of harsh treatment, the court was told
 Yu was given a jail term of 15 years 10 be followed by expulsion from the concession. His wife re- ceived 10 year sentence, and Yu Ching dong, an accomplice who as sisted in Kidnapping, got a similar term The concubine and amah who appeared to have befriended the boys on all possible occasions, were released. The store and workshop were ordered sold to defray the cost
