NEWPLAN FOR

Work Will Begin During Com
ing Week on Very Attractive
Home on Floral Street

Through cooperation with the
owner Of a large subdivision, it Is
possible for people of moderate
means who do not already own a
lot to buy or build a Lewis home.
Heretofore, it has always been
necessary for anyone wishing TO
build home to first own a lot and
to have considerable cash on hand
before they were in a position to
start building their home Under
the arrangements now being com.
pleted, it is possible for a person
of moderate means who does not
own lot to make a modest cash
payment and have their Lewis
home erected according to their
own ideas. Under this arrange
ment, a home builder picks out the
style Of house he prefers and has
shipment started on it, Immediate.
ly after making his initial pay
ment. This plan will enable many
people who are paying rent to own
a home Of their own, and apply
their rent towards the payment OF
mortgage charges connected with
the purchase of modern home.
The amount of rent now being
paid by most people would be SUIT
ficient under this plan to cover
one or more mortgage no, IS u

BEAT WAGE
SCALE
Work Cooperative Loading
Game in West Virginia,
Is Claim
By international News Service.


CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb.
28.-Persistent reports were in cir.
culation here today that union coal
operators have conceived a unique
method Of circumventing the Jack
sonville wage-scale agreement eff
fected by the United Mine Work
ers of America.
Many of the operators who
signed the union wage contracts
closed down their plants because,
they said, the scale was impossibly
high and made it cost them $1.76
for each ton of coal loaded on
cars.
Now, according to the reports,
they have resumed operations and.
through a cooperative arrange
ment," are having union miners
load coal on cars for only 81 n
ton. This cooperative arrangement,
according to the reports, is as
follows:
To meet the miners demands for
work, the companies turn over 10
them a mine and offer them 81
for each ton of coal mined and
loaded on the cars. Thus twenty
miners loading 100 tons of coal in
one day receive 500 to divide
among themselves.
Once the coal is placed on the
cars, though, the companies are
the beneficiaries, for they have
succeeded in getting ton of coal
at the tipple for 81, where it would
cost them $1.75 under the Jackson
vile agreement.
And the men who do the work
for 81 a ton under this "co-opera
tive arrangement" are union men,
who are not permitted, under the
Jacksonville agreement, to do II
for less than $1.75 a ton.

L|RAFALL
Fascist Press Sees Plot on
Part of Opposition in
Money Decline

ROME, Feb. 28.-Italian politics
and Italian finance have become
entangled in web Of recrimina-
tons and denials.
The Ira has fallen, and its fall
has in some instances been charged
to political causes, and these
charges have been emphaticallv
denied.
The Fascist press has charged a
plot on the part of the opposition,
some banks and journalists of sew
eral nations. 1t has been charged
that these institutions and persons
have been in league with Russian
Bolshevists and foreign hotel
keepers.
Answers have been made to
these charges, and the denials
have been emphatic.
Luigi Einaudi, distinguished ltal-
ian economist, points out that
most Italians are impressed by The
rise in value of the pound sterling.
while they fail to notice the rela-
tive stability of the dollar and do
not realize that the italian Ira has.
therefore. really deprecated in
value to the extent that the value
of the pound sterling has in
creased. this being a normal ad-
justment in Valua tious.
Seasonal depreciations Of the lire
are to be expected when Italy has
to make payments to foreign sellers
for shipments of raw materials,
such as copper, lead, zinc, rubber,
coffee and tea-all commodities
which Italy has to import.
There is, also, the all-important
corn question. For several years
Italy has bought, on an average.
90, 100000 quintals Of corn, at 100
lire quintal. This year she has
bought 100000 quintals beyond
that quantity, at 100 lire a quintal.
This means that at least 1900, 000.-
900 lire more has been spent out
Of the country for corn this year
than in previous years, having, of
course, an effect upon the foreign
value of the lire.

 Bicycle racing is the national sport of the little kingdom, and fifty-four velodromes are holding weekly and bi weekly meets.
 Belgian riders are noted TOT their endurance and they devote most of their efforts to road racing over long distances.
 Up to 1923 and 1924, when Henri Pelissier of France and Ottavia Bot techia of Italy won the four thousand miles "Tour de France" the race had been regularly carried off by Belgians Local riders all look forward to the winning of six day race in America as the crowning success of their car eers.

BAKING PIE IN U. s. BATTLES
 GERMAN DOMESTIC EXPERT

POTSDAM, Feb. 26.-Baking an American pie was the stiffest propo- sition put up to Louise Wnyeken, of this city, formerly teacher at the Domestic Science and Trade School of Nienburg, when she went to the U. s. recently to study American home life as a cook. In series of articles contributed to the Berliner Tageblatt, she narrates her personal experiences. The apple pie episode came during her second week in the States.
 With diaboiic cunning" she said, "the lady I worked for singled out pie for me, greenhorn that l was, to bake. This American national dish was a mystery which I dared not attempt to solve, as I had been in the country for less than two weeks. I therefore made tip-top German apflekuchen, which looked almost like a pie and certainly tasted better to me- Result: The others disdained it.''
 Grapefruit was another dish that stumped Miss Wyneken. 'The first course," she observes, "was grape

SHEFFIELD WORKS WILL USE
 WIRELESS TO MELT METAL

SHEFFIELD, Eng, Feb. 26.-Wire- less is to be introduced into the steel industry of Sheffield for the purpose of melting metals, announcement to this effect being made by Dr. c. H. Desch, dean of the faculty of metal urgy at the University of Sheffield. Wireless valves can be used to melt masses of steel into white hot liquid and within few months there would be furnaces here worked by these valves.
 Furnaces have actually been built in which the motive power for melting the metal is supplied by large ther- mionic valves," Dr. Desch announc- ed, "and these are of special use in the manufacture of certain nickle al- loys"
 Further, it was explained that i 200-volt direct current is passed into the valves, which converts it into alternating current of extremely high frequency-much higher, in fact, than can be obtained from mechanical generator of alternating current. This current is passed through the metal, which may be said to melt itself
 "The melting metal" said Dr. Desch, lis often far hotter than the crucible in which it is being heated. A piece of Swedish iron was melted in this way before the crucible in which it was contained was thorC. ughly warm.'

London's Famed Abbey
 Filled with Plenty Junk
(By Associated Press)


 LONDON, Feb. 25.-The proposal to overhaul Westminster Abbey so that more of it's treasures and beau ties may be revealed, has led c. w. R. Nevison, an English artist, to re- mark that the Abbey is more like a departmental store than church. The opinion that some of the most beautiful things in the Abbey cannot be seen because of the overcrowded memorial statuary is shared by many lovers of the historic building, in- cluding Canon Westlake, the Abbey historian.
 "The proper course is to get rid of some of the ecclesiastical junk at present in the Abbey" MT. Nevison told the Westminster Gazette. T thing it could be cleaned out without offending anybody's susceptibilities. Ultimately many beautiful things could be discovered which cannot now be seen."

LONDON, Feb. 26.-In every child there is the spark of genius which is too often quenched, Sir John A. Cock burn told the annual conference of educational associations at University College here recently. But if this spark is allowed to become flame it is wonderful what child can do in later life."
 That child's mind," said Sir John, "is clear of the mists of sectarianism, party and prejudice. Above all things
 the parent must avoid making finger marks upon the delicate tissue of the young brain. The whole mechanism of the childs mind might easily be spoiled before it ever comes into the hands of the teachers
