countryside, they say. Is hostile to the Shantungese.
 Claim Capture of Pcnspu
 A kuomintang tCantonese) com munique today reiterates the claim to the capture of Pengpu, northwest Of Ranking, by the nationalist sev- enth army. It says there were heavy losses on both sides the northerners suffering the most. This is not confirmed from any other source and is denied by the Shan tunEcse.
 Nationalist victories reliably con- frmed include. besides the capture Of 'ishui, a defeat of the Shantung- ese in the Taiping region. between Wuhu and Ranking. and the occu- patton of Wukiang, Ishing and Hyang The Shantungese who held the last two places retired toward Chang on the railway, with out fighting. permitting a rapid na- tionalist advance in the direction Of Wusih and Changchow.
 Wounded Returning
 Ranking reports say many Can tonese wounded are arriving there. Shantungese endorsements are be- ing hurried to Wusih and Chang chow. Heavy fighting in those areas is reported.
 Several thousand Shantungese have crossed the Yangtse from Pu- kow. across the river from Ranking Foreigners estimate that at least 700 Shantungese have been sent lip the river recently to meet the southern thrust from Angwei pro- vince.
 Chang Tsung- -Chank himself is at Tsinqnfu, Shantung province, to which he returned after a conference in Peking with Chang Tso-Lin. the Manchurian dictator. In connection with the rumors that Chang Tsung- Chang has been bargaining with Chang Kai-Shek. 1t is thought that Pi Chen, defence commissioner of Shanghai, will go over to the southerners If he is cut off from the north.
 Shanghai itself Is flooded with kuomintang rumors of nationalist victories, far outstripping the con- tirmable events. Since the Chinese press fears to publish northern de- feats. wall newspapers" are appear ing nightly. These sheets, pasted on the walls throughout the city, pur- port to tell the uncensored news from the front. Those posted last night say that guntire is already audible in Ranking.
 In Honan province, in the interior. the Manchurians who are driving to the south have at last occupied Chengchow, accomplishing after SC. we're fighting what they would have probably done some time ago but for the detection of Wu Pei-Fu.
 Capture of Chengchow merely clears the way for the beginning of the advance southward through cen- tral Honan. and much fighting Is ap- parently ahead of the Manchurians before they actually come to grips with the nationalists In their drive toward Hankow.

A Spanish Living Room.
BY ELIZABETH STETSON.

The next house we are taking up is
one which has followed in general the
lines of the small Spanish country
homes. In this case the decorator
hadsto be an architect also. The plans
were given to her before the builder
started TO work on the house. This is
always wise proceeding, one which
should be often followed as the in
terror may require many changes that
can he most economically carried out
while the house is in the process of
building. The owners were dssatis-
fed with the plans, and that can be
scarcely wondered at, as an American
colonial entrance was used for the
main doorway, and the windows were
Of the double.hung variety and very
poorly spaced. The interior arrange
ment was rather good, but the details
were not at all in keeping with the eX-
terror style of the house.
BY changing the general spacing of
the exterior. by substituting easement
windows with natural wood shutters
painted in gay conventional designs,
and by using batten doors, q satisfac-
tory result was finally achieved. The
house is quite lovely as it now stands
deep cream colored stucco of a hand
nodded texture, roof tiles of dull red
blended with purple and orange, and
the soft brown of the doors and shut

and blue green on the shutters lend an
additional charm to the general color
scheme.
The planting Of few bits of shrub.

suggested by the decorators

FARM LAND VALUES
BECOMING STABLE
Division of Land Economics
Issues Report on 1926
Real Estate Situation.

The value Of farm real estate in the
United States is showing a steady ap-
preach toward stability. according to
q report on the farm real estate situa.
ton for 1926. which has Just been is
sued by the division of land economics
of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco.
Monies Department of Agriculture.
The bureaus findings are from di-
rect correspondence with farmers. APP
praisers, far real estate dealers. land
bankers and others in close contact
with conditions in the farm lands mar
eet The sampling method has been the
only one SO far available to the govern
ment statisticians.
The bureaus statement bears out
directly the situation found by the list
annual survey Of the farm land stu
alton made by the National Associa-
ton OF Real Estate Boards which re.
ported prices. though having q tend.
enCy. TO advance, fairly stable, ut a
Level below that of 1920, bus higher
than that of 1914.
Rate of Decline Less.
A steadily lessening rate of decline
is shown by the bureaus information.
Index for value of all farm lands with
improvements stood on March /, 1926
at a point slightly greater than 20
per cent of the high point reached in
1920.
Farm values have actually increa sed
In a number Of regions.
In current dollars, value on March
/, 1926, of American farm lands was
indicated to be slightly above the val.
We total recorded for the same period
of 1917, or about 25 per cent above the
1912-13-14 average; but in terms of
pre-war dollars this total was approx
imately 20 per cent below the base
period.
Factors which are contributing to
the upward trend i'm farm values are
given by the bureau as primarily:
Upward Trend Steady.
]. Steady upward trend of avail
able net farm income and prices of
farm products.
,. Reductions in mortgage rates in
q number of areas, ea sing other cred
It situation, Improvements in county
banking conditions and increasing
general supply of funds seeking in.
NStment.
3. Market absorption of foreclosures
and other forced liquidations of the
depression period.
Influence Expended.
In a number of areas this factor has
probably already expended most of its
Influence, the bureau states.
The rise in farm taxes has been
seriously out of proportion to the
movement in the prices of farm prod.
ucts," the bureaus report states.
Since taxes form one of the princi-
pal costs in farm ownership, the pro-
portion of income required for pay
ment of taxes under postwar price
levels has been and win continue to be
Q factor of no small Importance in
determining the level at which farm
land values will reach adjustment.

DRAFTING STAFFS PLAN
SHOP AND STUDIO VISITS
Expeditions Designed to Promote
Closer Cooperation With
Arts and Crafts.

Expeditions of the drafting stats in
the offices of New York S architects to
the shops and studios Of the arts and
crafts involved in the production of
buildings will be made under the direc-
ton of the New York Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects.
The aim is to establish closer rela.
tionships between the architectural
craftsmen and the craftsmen of the
building trades, according TO a report
of the chapters committee on educa-
ton, made public yesterday by Chair
man John Taylor Boyd, ir.. of 232
Madison avenue.
Better buildings. it is believed. will
result from schooling the craftsmen
in all the realities of building through
first.hand study of the problems of
the craftsmen.
I'VE are convinced, the report
said, that constant effort must be
made to assure contact between drafts
men and craftsmen, in order not only
TO maintain the vitality of our art but
to prevent vast amount of wasted
effort in the drafting room, due to a
lack of understanding of the possibili-
ties and limitations of materials and
workmanship.
