"THE AUCTlONEER" IS
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

"The Auetioneer" at the Liberty tonight, sets forth in most hu- \ ihnan malfher the story of a little Irish orphan who is adopted by Ia Russian and his wife on their way to the land of promise. The Russian, upon his arrival in New York, borrows some of the money tentrusted to him for the well-be- | ing of the little girl he has adopt | ed, With this money he begins a business career that in years Ito come carries him and his little family to the luxury of an abode Ion Riverside Drive.
 As played by George Sidney, noted star of the stage and the [screen, the auctioneer is a lovable ofigure who strikes directly at the hearts of all who watch him as he rises from street peddler to luxnry. If all of Sidney's future performances on the silver sheet are as nearly perfect as his DOT trayal in "The Auctioneer,' he will have a place of his own in screen circles for some time to cone.
 Miss Marion Nixon and Gareth lHughes head a supporting cast
 which fits into the story like Elockwork. Miss Nixon is lovely Indeed, as the little Irish girl in her teens.

Prices of Wheat Rise
 As French Crop Drops

PARIS, Aug. S.-Wheat prices on the Paris market have risen simultaneously with those quoted from Chicago and at about the same pace following official re- ports that the French crop will be about half a million acres short this year compared with 1927.
 Bad weather which prevailed at sowing time in many parts of the country is blamed for lowering the French wheat crop to 13 million acres and the oats crop to S1a million acres.
 Quoted at 156 francs per quintai in Paris in January, wheat now has climbed to 1S0 francs This corresponds to about $1.9G per

NEW APARTMENT
HOUSE IS PLANNED
Ell & Kay Co. to Erect Build
ing of Unusual
Outline.

A large apartment house of unusual
outline and design, having an estimated
building cost of $1,250000, is to be
erected by the Ell 81 Kay Building and
Investment Co. on the large site recent
ly acquired from Harry Wardnan at
the corner of Connecticut avenue and
Devonshire street, according to plans
announced today by Louis T. Rouleau,
architect for the project.
The building will be of five stories,
of irregular outline and of radial
plan, with wings radiating from large
semi-circular court. 1t will be situated
on the site of 10000 square feet 81
as to leave wide space in both front and
rear Of the building for the develop
ment of landscaping. circular entrance
driveway and other features.
The site fronts about 100 feet on
Connecticut avenue and 500 feet or
Devonshire street. 1t adjoinS the Gov
eminent park in Klingle Valley.
There will be $50 apartment suites
ranging from two rooms, kitchen, bath
foyer and porch, to seven rooms. three
, baths. porch and foyer.
According to plans now being COM
pleted by Mr. Rouleau, the building
will have provision for stores within
the building, opening into the lobby.
These will include, probably, a grocery
drug store and beauty parlor. The
building also is to contain laundry
and garage with a capacity of 125 cars
for the use of tenants Of the building

out the rain and weather but also
makes the little four-room cottage as
warm as any house in the Winter
time.
Viewed at a distance of 40 feet,
from the road which passes it, the
house is hardly distinguishable from any
of the others as being at all different.
At close view the print of the news

many coats of varnish. A few feet
distant the appearance is that of shin
giles, as the yellow color of the varnish
dominates. This is increased by the
use of gravure picture sections.
More interesting perhaps than the
house itself is the furniture fashioned
out of paper. The various pieces have
an air of real distinction. Chairs,
tables, lamps and a flower pot stand
have all been fashioned out of news
papers, rolled tightly in solid lengths
which look like stocks of bamboo and
are much sturdier than the real article

newspapers are the only materials used
in the construction of what is perhaps
the oldest dwelling in the country.
The "house of paper" locally famous
and one of the sights Summer vaca-
tionists exclaim about. Is located on
Pigeon Hill, in Rockport, on Cape Ann,
Mass.
Ellis F. Stenman and his family con-
ceived the idea of Summer home made
of old newspapers seven years ago. For
the last several Summers they have
been living in and adding to their news
print house Winters they have en-
ployed shears and paste pot, those
stardbys of the newspaper office, not in
producing copy" but in making
shingles" and rolls of paper used for
walls, trim and furniture. Today the
house is nearly completed, although it
has been habitable for several Sum-
mers.
It stands on rocky ledge. There is
no cellar. Wood has been used for the
framing, floor, ceiling. door jambs and
caves. Walls are of newspaper, 215
sheets in thickness, we'll vanished.
They are solid, waterproof, and have a
high insulating value.
In recent issue of Editor and Pub
Usher and the Fourth Estate an article
appears featuring the paper home OF
the Stenmans.
Describing the finished construction,
the article states:
Layers of paper, one over the other
cut in such manner as to resemble

matched together for the walls, the
