HOME CONDITIONS
GOOD, SAYS erwin
Postmaster Sees Favorable Hous.
Ing Situation in City

The tenement situation in New
Britain is undergoing a change. &C
cording to Postmaster H. f. Erwin.
who has watched the development
of New Britain housing conditions
for number Of years.
Mr.. Erwin commenting upon the
article in Saturdays Herald. which
pointed out that of the 1929 vacant
tenements in this city only lo2 We're
of the modern type and these not
yet available, said the housing situ-
alton in this city is extremely favor
able.
Not only does t indicate, as was
stated in the Herald, that New Brit
ain people are demanding better
homes, but it shows that the city is
growing. Mr.. Erwin stated. With
only 1000 tenemerts vacant, and
5000 new tenements built in a COM
paratively recent period, this shows
a healthy condition, the postmaster
feels.
Another good sign. according to
postal states, is that the oyercrowd-
ed condition of New Britain tene-
ments is beginning to ease up. Not
only the post office but public utili-
ties such as the New Britain Gas
Light Co. and the Connecticut Light
and Power Co. have noticed the ten
dency on the part of families to
double up"
Young couples get married and
move in with their parents until oft
times there are as many IS three
families in the same house. Not
more than year ago, Their was an
average of II individuals to a tene-
ment, Mr.. Erwin said. A little less
than year ago this had dwindled
to an average of 9la.
The reason for the change is eX-
planned by the postmaster as fol-
lows: when New Britain homes
lieve that condition many new
homes were built. At that time 1t
was impossible to find vacant rent
in the city. The new homes were
expected to relieve the congestion.
Instead OF spreading out the families
and occupying all the houses. whole
groups promptly moved into the
new houses, leaving the old ones va
cant.
| Now the old houses are being re-
modelled. rents have been lowered.
families are spreading out and
many are moving back. 1t will only

asked.
Lynda was very much pleased
that Emily did not wait for her to
answer, as she did not want to tell
an untruth, and she had promised

anything concerning the absence of
his son.
Emily however, was SO glad to

with the information. Ralph had

and couple of ribs broken, trying
not to run over a child.

"Mr. Armitage said that his son
had had a slight accident and would
not be down today, but he asked me
not to say anything about it in the
office. I had to keep it close after
that, didn't ."

Skeletons of Indians
Dug In by Steam Shovel

Cincinnati, O.. July 81 R,-Skele-
tons of 20 to rs Indians have been
dug UP by a steam shovel excavating
at Mill Creek, near here.
Ralph Drury. curator OF tho
Cincinnati Museum of Natural His
tory, believes them to be between
10000 and 5000 years old
A mute story of tragedy was
revealed. The leg of one of the In
dams had been broken. although II
had knit back together. The Indian
had died young. Perhaps 1t was be-
cause he could not run around with
the rest of the boys. Drury added.
Drury thinks the Indians may
have been members of the early
Algonquins who buried their dead
in shallow graves.

searching for perhaps mythical
treasure in the Guadalupe noun
tains near Carlsbad, N. NJ.
After months of prospecting
through the three chains OF Guada-
loupe peaks, Blake encountered bad
weather and sought help In Albu-
querque: food and money to carry
on his hunt before winter comes.
Several writer's have found evil
dences Of treasure-trove In the
Guadaloupes, left by bandits known
as the Gardiner gang.
The Gardner boys were forced to
flee to the mountains with Z rich
booty OF gold bars and jewels. seized
from \ smugsler's pack-tratn from
Mexico. All members Of the gans
died, Blake believes, before they
could remove their treasure. A box
of diamonds stolen during famous
bank. robbery In Mexico also was
supposed to be with the loot.
Blake traced tho history OF the
Gardners through old newspapers
and inhabitants who had long been
In the southwest. He found. he
said, unmistakable evidences Of the
gang activities and Of the cache In
the mountains.
An uncle of one Of the Gardner
boys was enlisted in the search and
furnished supposedly authentic
map of the country where the
treasure would be found. Blake
located the country shown on the
map after several months Of wan
dering through the mountains and
started working his way into what
he believes to be the hiding place
when he ran out of provisions and
was forced to return here.
There's more than a million dol

THE whole course Of this thor

it wide enough for even jinrikisha
to pass without driving playing chill

pigs and doss-into bordering door

most travellers to penetrate these
passageways where the odors per-
meating the atmosphere are so
overwhelming to foreign nostrils
that the chair-laborers are urged
on to the nearest breathing space.
Open Front Shops
more pleasant to the traveller
are the tea factories and ware
houses where tea leaves, scented
with jasmines, roses and chrysan-
themums are sorted from dawn
to dusk by Chinese women and
children. Last year Foochow ex-
ported more than 100000 pounds
of F'ukien tea and re-eXported an
additional 100000 pounds which
were shipped to Foochow tea per-
fumeries.' There are more than
forty tea factories in the city.
1.-THE open shops along the Foo
chow streets reveal thousands OF
natives eking out an existence IN
various other industries. Before
ones eyes clever artisans make
wooden pillows and images of gods
and odu-looking beasts: cabinet
makers turn out fancy furniture;
potters shape and fire handsome
vessels; brickmakers fashion their
products in all shapes, sizes and
colors; both men and women sit
silently embroidering. or weaving
the dark cloth usually worn by
peasants: and dyers, with inky
hands, seemingly turn old garments
into new OF different color.
zone of the most interesting Of
these industrial displays is the
making of lovely vases, toys, tables
and numerous other articles in tea.
An American boy would. perhaps,
spend most Of his time peering into
the fireworks shops where workmen
evolve the noise for street process
sions, funerals, weddings and other
Chinese celebrations. Trade with
y cities and many small villages
reached by river boats, accounts
for much of Foochow's commercial
activity.
"It was not until 1861 when the
Min was opened to foreign shipping
that the city's suburbs spread out
along both banks and beckoned to
world trade. Since then Foochow's
annual output of tea alone has
reached nearly 100000 pounds
and 1t bids fair to repeat"
