There is one question that
prospective home owners should
always consider when buying q
home can / really pay for this
home and keep within the bonds
Of my yearly income2
Assuming that both the family
income and the market value Of the
home purchased remain substan-
tally the same. the figures indicate
that the purchase price of q home
should not be in excess of two and
one.Eah times the annual income.
on this basis, an income Of $3 300
would Justify an investment ~
$3.50 liz d home, while the family
with SO, 900 income might easily
afford $25, 900 home.
The problem as to what IL the
minimum income on which a family
may safely undertake the purchase
Of a, home cannot be answered in
specific figures, but 1t is safe 70
say that the family living in q
small town or village with an In,
come OF $500 may be more able
to undertake the purchase Of a
home than d family having a $4,000
income and living In a large city.

IMPORTANT

The proper finish and decoration
OF 4 home Is becoming more and
more important. People are reaiiz-

OF color and pattern In wall paper
and its effect on the appearance of
the size Of the, room ais well as It's
harmony with the desired scheme Of
interior decoration.
Each room is undergoing definite
treatment to bring out its character.
The quality of hardwood floors fine
|ly finished, the appropriateness of
wall paper and trim. the richness OF
lighting fixtures all combine to make
a home beautiful or otherwise.
Such features are largely a mat
ter OF taste and not expense for two
individuals with the same outlay of
money may achieve results diamet-
rically different. on account of their
ability to choose the most desirable
decorative scheme. Too much can
not be said about the Importance of
artistic finish and no detail should
be overlooked to realize this end.
Convenient floor plugs. mirrored
doors and distinctive hardware ale
but few things that the discrim-
mating home purchaser appreciates.

OFFICIALS SEEK
To Calm SPIRITS
japanese Still Observe Ancient
Customs

Tokyo, May 90. R-Dcspite the
fact that the head OF Taira- no Mas
akado, a revolter against the gov
eminent, was removed a thousand
years ago by the lord high execu-
TONER, it seems that his spirit has
been causing all sorts of trouble TO
the finance ministry at Otemachi.
The minister noted that Finance
Minister Hayanni died shortly after
hasha, chief of engineering, passed
and that so or 40 officials had be-
come invalids within few years.
Investigation disclosed that the
finance building. temporary struc-
| ture erected after the 1928 earth
quake. had been built squarely on
top OF Masakado's grave. at the site
of the old shrine of Myojin.
The conclusion was obvious. All
the bad luck was the result OF the
rebels spirit resenting the building
over his resting place.
As the building could not be torn
down, the officials OF Me ministry
held a solemn religious service to
appeasc the indignant spirit. In
addition to the ceremony III the
finance building. Buddhist rites
were performed at tho Nichirin
| Temple at Shipasakicho.
If the spirit has any considera'
sion the Japanese now believe he
will overlook the insult and permit
the finance administration TO pro.
I, coed in peace.

LIDO TO Venice
SUBWAY PLANNED

Years Is Seen

Venice, May % R>-The Lido. one

sorts in the world. may within five
years be connected with Venice by
q tunnel under the lagoon Just off
the shores of the city of canals.
Business men here who have large
Interests in the summer concessions
OH the island mile from Venice
are pushing the project in an effort
to get municipal and perhaps gov
ernmental support.
Transportation between the great
hotels on the island and the rail-
road station at Venice is at present
solely by means of boats. A steam
boat-bus line operates between the
Lido and Venice. and gondolas also
make the trip, though taking more
time.
The Lido has been a large factor
In bringing American. English and
German people of wealth to Venice,
and the Nenetians conceive it their
duty to further any project which
will increase the attractiycness OF

under the lagoon, making the trip
m half the time occupied by the
boats and carrying passengers di-
rectly to the doors of their hotels.

MASTER SCALE FOR
greater ACCURACY
All Freight Weights Thus Will
Be Tested

Chicago. May - Decentralization
Of the master scale which. in one
way or another, will have a direct
bearing on the affairs Of every per-
son In America, has been COM
pleted in a special building by H.
NJ. Roeser. engineer of the
United States Bureau of Standards.
He will describe the scale before
the National Conference on Weights
and Measures in Washington May
90.
The instrument is two section
plate-fulcrum railroad track scale of
such precision that, even with loads
Of 10000 pounds. the addition or
subtraction of onc-tenth of pound
Is accurately registered. Its prin-
cipal function will be the frequent
checking Of the weight Of railroad
test cars with which the accuracy
Of thousands Of commercial track
scales is maintained.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1928-05-22

The importance of precise weigh
ins of freight cars has been recog-
niZed by the bureau for some years
in view OF the tremendous amounts
involved in the exchange of COM
moditics in interstate commerce.
Correct weighing of these COM
modities on the tracks has a direct
effect on freight charges and, ulti-
mately, on the sums the consumers
must pay for them, so since 1914 the
bureau has been striving, with the
cooperation OF the railroads and in
dustries, TO bring and keep the
$4,000 track scales which do this
work up to a standard of not more
than o. per cent Of error.
The master scale which has lust
been completed there will be, from
now OH, the keynote of that struc-
turc of accuracy. 1t has been con-
structed in compliance with the
most advanced lows OF physics and
is housed in such a way that sud
den weather changes will not affecr
its delicate balance.
Friction has been reduced to q
minimum. and the knife edges anG
bearings which performed a vita
| function in the old fashioned tracl
scales have been replaced by the
fulcrum plates, thin pieces of stee
which bend imperceptibly. but sure
ly when subjected to pressure. Th'
scientific measurement of that bend
ing is the secret of the scales pre-
| cision.
Its weighing platform" in I.

weights maintained as nearly as pos
sible at exact points. can be haulet
onto thse live rails and their lossc

New York, Nov. 15.-Although not
yet II. Eric Palmer, Jr., is in charge
Of radio for the American Brazilian
Scientific Expedition to the Amazon
Valley. He is on his way with the
expedition to South America.
The expedition, headed by DR..
Jose Tozzi Calvao, will search for
lost ancient Phoenician city, ex-
plore the little known Aripuana riv-
err and penetrate into the jungle
farther than any previous party.
Young Palmer will transmit mes
sages on 20 and 40 meters from a
portable wireless outfit under the
call JIG, once the travellers get 1000
miles inland.
Eric is famous as the boy Uncle
Sam put to bed. The Federal Radio
Commission suspended his license to
operate his amateur station, 2ATZ,
in Brooklyn, for three months be-
cause he stayed awake all night at
the key and missed meals and school.
Eric Palmer, ST., is vice president
of the newly-formed Allied Broad
casting Companies, Inc, and eastern
manager Of the American Broadcast
ing Company, operating Pacific
coast network of stations from Los
Angeles to Spokane.
