Senator Keyes' wife Is Frances Par
kinson Wheeler, a writer and traveller
of fame. She Travelled extensively this
Summer. and one Of the places she
visited was the capital city OF Vene-
Euela.
Mrs. Reyes has long made 1t her prac-
tice to collect souvenirs in those places
which she visits. Not Just a mere
trinket, but something typical Of the
section itself. In Venezuela she set out
! with this idea In mind.
President Gomez was her friend. She
appealed to him for aid He told her
that she might visit any of the museums
and II something could be found there
, which appealed to her she could have 1t
In vain did she look for something
that appealed to her. Finally she re-
turned to Gomez, told him of her difi-
Guilty and made the request that he
pick out something that would enable
her to remember his country
He agreed. And Mrs. Reyes left him
to prepare for her departure. The
token was to be forwarded to her in
event the President was unable to make
q choice before she left Venezuela.
1t didn't take Gomez long. Just be-
fore she left Mrs Reyes was told there
was gift at her hotel from the Presi-
dent of Venezuela. She went down to
receive 1t.

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, June 29.-"The
building industry appears to be one of
the substantial assurances we have
against business depression and one Of
the most buoyant and effective means
of all the sustaining forces for national
prosperity and high standard of living"
Harland H. Allen, Chicago economist,
made this statement in an address on
money conditions before the mortgage
and finance division of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
which concluded its annual convention
here last night.
I'VE may not have completely ironed
out the business cycle" Mr.. Allen said.
But extremely high money rates pre-
vail. Time money commands higher
rates In New York than 1t has since
1920. Public financing of real estate
and q new public standard for build
ings are strong element Of balance in
the business situation.
Economic prophets in analyzing the
outlook for the building industry must
take into consideration the changed
attitude Of the public towards the
obsolete building, which today is dis
carded, just as obsolete machinery is
discarded, and the demand of industry
that its quarters be as modern and
eficient as its business technique and
machinery.

the S6 associations showing resources Of
more than $4,000, 900, are spending
most of their advertising appropria-
tions with the newspapers in the cities
in which they are located. This is the
conclusion drawn as the result of a
survey made by the Michigan Build
ing & Loan League, in which uues-
t:onnaires were mailed to the associa-
tions, which, according to the report of
Secretary H. F. Cellarius, are in the
$4,000, 900 class.
Sixty-four of the associations re-
turned the QUESTIONABLE and their re-
ports showed that they invest an aver
age of $4,000 annually in ADVERTISING,
The total amount being invested this
year by these associations Is $751;, 900.
To the question dealing with the forms
of advertising used, almost invariably
they answered by one word, news
papers" A few of the associations
reported that they did comparatively
little advertising, and several others re-
piled that they hold their appropria-
ton down to $4,000 annually Others.
notably the largest in the group with
resources totaling $40, 100000 and
$50,000,0 ,000 reported appropriations run
ming as high as 100000.
The success of these association
based on the fact that the public
was made acquainted with them nnd
kept in touch with them, at least to E
certain extent through the newspapers.

reach the automatic by at least yard,
and Joseph's hand had never quivered.
I heard a wicked little spit, saw stab
of flame, and suddenly felt a queer,
terrible sensation Just over my heart

just as the room began to 60 round
fragments Of words seemed to reach
me, fierce, yet freighted with the spice
of diabolical mirth:
That will teach you to leave
Joseph alone and his women
. in this world, and
Then the room faded away and black
ness came.
My awakening recollections were con-
fused and fantastic. Smart, in most
unpicturesque deshabile, was standing
with his handkerchief TO his mouth,
gaping at me. A young man, with a
black muStache and horn trimmed spec
tacles. a few feet farther away, was
smoking a cigarette, and myself had
come back to the world with q strong
inclination to be sick. Both windows
we're wide open, although q drizzling
rain was beating in. Furthermore, there
was the most abominable smell in the
room.
Capital" the young man exclaimed.
Hope you don't mind my cigerrette.
This chemical concoction of your
friends makes the most ghaStly stink
ever came across"
There seemed to be no reason why
should not be in another world. but I
had q frm conviction that I was still
in my bed, and also that there was
very little the matter with me.
But he shot me-" declared, sitting
up THE fellow with the black mask
saw the fash, felt the stab just over
my heart"
The young man nodded.
He shot you with freak invention
of his own" he explained, producing
what seemed to me to be a piece Of
burnt wadding. He apparently used
an ordinary pistol, but a specially made
cartridge. The wadding burst against
your chest and small phial full of the
most villainous dope broke against your
skin. Naturally you went OF pop
quaintest thing ever heard Of. I've got
the whole Of the stuff together to be
analysed"
who are you?" inquired.
I'm a doctor from across the way, he
explained. your servant fetched me.
Seems he went to sleep in the kitchen
after supper. He declares he was drug
ged, himself When he woke up, he
came in to see If you we're all right
and found you unconscious. Perhaps
this will help you to understand the
matter" he went on, handing me a
square of paper. II found 1t pinned
to your pillow
I held it up and read in printed
characters:
'I came here with two automatics-
one to use If you were alone the other
II you had company. If had used the
other. you would have been safely out
of my way for ever. Take my advice

Building Industry Assurance Against
Business Depression, Says Economist

"Just as the modern structure has
supplanted the building traditions Of
the past, so the financial needs and in
vestment methods in this construction
era have also been recast and in a
large part have supplanted the old
time real estate banking habits. The
public financing of real estate enter
prises has been one of the most pro-
nounced and improved financial de-
velopments of a decade. AS late as the
year 1919 real estate public financing
totalled less than 2h per cent of the
gross volume of corporate securities
sold in the United States.
"In the whole country only about
$57 900, 900 of real estate borrowings
were handled that year as publicly Of
fered bond issues. But by 1923 this
volume had increased almost l,500 per
cent to $809, 100000, and the total Of
real estate bonds rose to more than
one-sixth of the publicly offered issues.
In 1921 only about one-fortieth per cent
of the new building permits in the
United States were being financed
through publicly offered bond issues
In 1928 over one-fourth Of new build
ing permits were financed as mortgage
bonds. In 1922 there were only about
SIS public issues of real estate bonds in
the million dollar class. In 1928 there
were 1872 such issues"

East Ender, akin with his gang, des-
perate, bloodthirSty person who sticks
at nothing. The other is a wealthy
young man, moving in quite exalted
social circles probably member of a
good club, possibly even one of famous
family, exploiting his position simply
in search of places to rob.
Now listen to me attentively, please.
We don't want you to go after Joseph,
the East Ender, we could tell you his
haunts, but you would never reach
them alive. We have another class
of person taking care of that end.
What my uncle wants you to do is to
try and get in touch with him through
the social side of his life"

for you. All that you have to do is
to accept the invitations you receive
and watch the people"

ventured.

But do" I declared emphatically.
Then, after moments pause, I
added what should never have dared
to say face to face.
II want to see you again.

began to regret my temerity. Then she
spoke once more.

MEXICAN FEDERALS
MOVING WESTWARD

JUAREz, Mex, April 17.-(P-
Half Of the Mexican federal army
in northern Mexico today had been
ordered into Sonora to begin what
officers believed would be the most
arduous campaign of the revolu-
ton.
Three troop trains, carrying $500
infantrymen and cavalrymen, left
yesterday for Casas Grandes, hear
est rail point to Pulpito Pass,
through which the federals must
pass from Chihuahua to Sonora. An
additional 1000 soldiers were to
leave here today with General An
dreu Almazan.
Before westward moving federals
can engage insurgents under Gen
eral Jose Gonzalo Esccbar, rebel
chief, they must go through PM-
pito Pass, the only ~serviceable
opening through the Sierra Madre
range in northern Mexico.
Federals deny reports there only
are 900 rebels under Genearl Mar
cello Caraveo defending the pass.
Their aviators have reported hun
dreds Of Yaqui Indians are hidden
IN the mountains, and General
Caraveo has at least 1900 men.
