of the third prize in this competi-

The walls are Of concrete ma

O. E. Cutler, one Of the judges
in the contest, says, "a point
often overlooked by persons who
contemplate building q home is
that none Of the Continental
styles, except the Swiss chalet, can
be expressed in wood. Concrete
masonry in the form Of cement
block Is an excellent material for
small house construction, but the
design must be expressed in
Btucco.
."Of the various stuccos, port
land cement stucco Is the only one
lending itself to every form Of ar
Nstic treatment. In the hands Of
experienced and sympathetic
craftsmen results with portland
cement stucco are simply wonder
Snl. It should preferably be used
on a masonry background, and
concrete blocks offer the ideal
foundation for portland cement
stucco."

MEXICO CITY, Oct. S1.-An influx
Of Negroes from the West Indies, sus-
pected as having been brought in by
employers to lower labor standards
because Of their backwardness and ig-
norance of unionism, has led to an Of
fetal bar against them by the Mexican
government. All will be stopped at
port7 and border points.
Many Of the West Indian Negroes
are suffering terrible unemployment,
pitifully low wages and brutal OPP
preston of British Imperialism, and
fro the most part are entirely unac-
quianted with unionism, even when
the strict British rule permits them
to exist, In many cases such unions
as exist are controlled by traitors of
their own race, and do little to ad-
vance standards.
