 Cities which the Government re- covered are Monterey, Cordova, saltillo. orizaba and Japala.
 While Vera Cruz has virtually been recaptured there is still a need of some consolidation of position.

WIFE OF SENATOR JONES'
SECRETARY DIES HERE
Mrs. Lulu Facius Davis, Ill Since
1928, Is Victim of Heart
Attack.

Mrs. Lulu Facius Davis, wife Of
James H. Davis. secretary to Senator
Wesley L. Jones Of Washington, died
suddenly Wednesday at her home, 1914
Hemlock street. She will be buried
Saturday at pm. in Rock Greek Gene
terry. Services will be held at her resi-
dence.
Mrs. Davis had been i'll since May
90, 1928, but seemed to be improving
when she was seized with fatal heart
attack.
She was the daughter of Rev. Gustav
and Leopoldine Facius, and came to
this city with her parents from Balti-
more, where she was born August IL,
1871. Her father was minister of the
First Reformed German Church of this
city for many years.
Mrs. Davis was well known in musical
circles and had been organist at the
Chapel of the United States Soldiers
Home for more than IS years.
Besides her husband she is survived
by son, Facius Wesley Davis, of this
city.

Central stairs of platform type pre-
dominate. Only IL plans show this

number show stairs which rise to the

show curved stairs. Good planning is
indicated by the fact that practically

architectural forms being blended into
composite designs. Home buyers are
seeking a different type of architectural
expression.
1t is evident, according to Mr. Lincoln,
that the jurics of award, which in
cluded architects, realtors, builders,
decorators and editors whose business
it is to keep their fingers on the pub
lie pulse, also recognized this trend.
Otherwise, it is contended, plans eX-
pressive of it would not have been
selected almost without exception as
the winning and honorable mention
designs.
A desire for informal living Is seen
by Mr.. Lincoln and his associates at
the institute in the preponderance Of
houses of English tendency and in the
informality of the treatment of the
Colonial among the winning and men
ton designs. Study of these designs
says this architect, would indicate that
the public Is unwilling to have archi-
tects prescribe the shapes Of rooms,
placement of window openings, arrange

rigid and formal types of design.

limitations imposed by pure architcc-
tural form; they are demanding that

TELLS HOW COURTS
BECOME EFFECTIVE
PenoIogist Sees British Tri-
bunaIs Noted for Swift Ac-
ton, Not Heavy Penalties.

The criminal courts of England are
effective more because they move swift
ly than because they penalize harshly,
in the opinion of E. Roy Calvert, Brit
ish penologist, who is in Washington
to address an anti-capital punishment
meeting tonight at the Auditorium.
In the course of survey of Eastern
and Midwestern prisons, Mr.. Calvert
said he noticed pronounced tendency
on the part of Americans to credit the
success of the English system to severi-
ty of punishment
"On the contrary" Mr.. Calvert said,
1.-The American courts have recourse to
the more severe sentences. Possibly this
is an important reason why your courts
move slowly. FelonieS are punishable
by long prison terms murders by death
AS consequence the courts proceed
with great caution and the final de-
cision is often delayed for years.
Penal Sentences Compared.
"In England it is rare indeed that
five months elapSe between the arrest
of the criminal and pronouncement OF
sentence. Most of our felonS receive
shorter terms than your. AS for the
death penalty, there is a growing pub
lie sentiment against it. We now have
majority in Parliament favoring aboll-
ton of capital punishment.
Another reason why our courts move
more swiftly lies in the broader power
of trial judges. Their hands are not
tied by technicalities, and their rulings
en- various questions arising from crlml-
nal trials are dictated more from ira
dition than from adherence to the let
ter of the law.
MIR. Calvert has visited prisons IN
New York, New Jersey, PennSylvanla,
Michigan and in Canada since he land
ed in New York six weeks ago.
Baumes Law Criticized.
He feels that the Baumes law in New
York in practice is working against It's
original intent. 1.-The overcrowded con-
dition of prisons in the State" Mr.. Cal
vert said, seems to be one result OF
the law. Prison officials there told me
that many defendants whose oftenses
warranted miSdemeanor charges were
charged with felony. The prisoners
agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor
to escape possible conviction under the
major charge.
Another source of crime readily APP
parent to the casual observer lies i'll
the free sale of firearms in this coun-
try. About 20 per cent of your muir
QeTS are Will 90
against 3 per cent in England. We
rarely hear of a burglar carrying gun
in England, and when one of them is
caught with such weapon he usually
is found to be a psychopathic case.
Much greater penalties are melted out
for HOUSEKEEPING when the culprit is
found to have been armed"
Other Speakers to Be Heard.
Mr.. Calvert will be introduced to the
meeting at o'clock tonight by Charles
w. Darr, president of the Chamber of
Commerce. Other speakers to address
the session, arranged under auspices of
the new District chapter. American
include Judge Mary O'Toole of the
Municipal Court. Rev. George w. Dow,
head of the Episcopal City Mission,
and DR.. Francis M. Butts, local edu-
Gator.

DETROIT, Mich. october 4.-Search-

missing since late Monday, were up
against a blank wall today. No trace
Of the child or the men who are be-
lieved to have kidnapped him has been
discovered after more than three days
of police investigation.
Three shots fired in the neighbour
hood of the Thompson home sent de.
tectives stationed there on search OF
the vicinity last night. No explanation
for the shots could be offered.
Henry S. Thompson, father of the
missing child, assured police yesterday
he had received no word from his sons
captors. In the meantime, police are in
vestigating a number of reports that a
child answering the description of
Jackie has been seen. Two calls yes

out of large details of officers, proved
fruitless.

( Other Comments.
Declaring that the exhibition of
these ia house plans would be helpful
and interesting to both home owners
and builders, MIR. Lincoln makes the
following comments on the results OF
the competition:
Even though competitors had the
option of designing houses with three
or four bedrooms, the first point to be
noted Is that there are three times as
are bedroom designs. This shows
keen interest in small house design.
"As to exteriors." Mr.. Lincoln con-
tinues, IA are brick, IL stucco. stone,

steep roofs predominant, with caves
starting below the second-foor level.
Two chimneys are favored three to one.
In shape the usual rectangular type
plan, typical of formal architecture. Is
rare; the L-shape and derivations pre-
dominate. Front and side porches, It
would seem, are disappearing as the
bulk of the plans show rear pOrches,
which enjoy privacy and overlook the
garden. Terraces, chiefly at the rear,
are more widely used than porches. The
old bay window seems also 10 De losing
out, "a of the 80 houses being without
this feature. In the others 1t is most
often used in dining and living rooms.
AN attached garage is not deemed
important, as in a majority of cases
this adjunct is placed at the rear of
the lot; there is a tendency toward ga
rage location in the front of the house
or in the basement There is also
tendency to locate the main entrance at
the side of the house, although front
doors facing the street predominant.
Studying the interior, we find de-
signers recognize the importance in a
house on a narrow lot of providing a
vista from front to rear-that is, hav-
ing living rooms front on street and
garden. There is evidence of trend
toward locating service elements, kitch-
en-, garage and so on, near the street,
with living portions overlooking the
garden. In area, living rooms range
from 204 to 429 square feet, 289 being
the average.
Kitchens Are Small.
Kitchen area shrinks as labor-sav-
ing equipment is perfected. In these
houses Kitchens range from 80 square
feet to 1853, the average being trifle
more than 113 square feet. Breakfast
rooms are much preferred to dining al

Will Rogers
Says:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.-Say,
here is something that will be Of
interest to you all. I just hap
pened to find it out in an indirect
way. You know we always figured
that the Lord and the elements
and Congress was all on the side
of the rich against the farmer.
So it was certainly gratifying
to learn that there is a bug
that is eating up the greens on the
golf courses. It's called an army
bug, for it comes in droves. That
just shows you that the worm is
turning, and the leisure class is
going to have their bo-weevil, chinch
bug and grass hopper, too. Won't
that be great to hear the golf player
hollering for relief?

nouncements in The Star, invitation to

Scores View Drawings.
Scores of interested persons viewed
the house plans during the hours OF
exhibit yesterday and last night and
early this morning others were on hand
to study the drawings.
In addition to the three national
prize-winning designs in the COMPETE
ton, in which $29,500 in awards was
made, the exhibit includes the honor
able mention house plans and others OF
merit from competition areas through
out the United States and virtually all
entered in the regional contest spon-
sored by The Star.
The national winners were selected
from the 80 winning designs in each Of
the 13 contest areas of the country.
Study of these 80 designs shows, ac-
cording to Arthur Bates Lincoln, con-
sulting architect of the Home Owners
Further, he found that in his eX-
perience he had never seen designs of
such merit and charm exhibiting so
few of the formal characteristics we
,.now as Colonial or Spanish. While the
large majority show English detail,
really only one could be called strictly
English. Four fall within Georgian de-
sign, four are Spanish, two French and
one Colonial. Stereotyped handling of
mass is conspicuously absent among the
80 prize winners, Mr.. Lincoln found.
Veering of Taste Is Reflected.
This veering of taste in architecture,
as reflected in the work entered in the
competition, indicates that even in
Florida and California the popularity of
the stucco and half-timber house is in
creasing, Mr.. Lincoln stated.

TALKIES REQUIRE

Instruments A chorus or quartet sing

Acoustical engineering has evolved to

Certain lighting arrangements have 20

order to get some artists in proper
mood to perform. especially when they
are unaccustomed to performing with
out a seen audience.
In the old days of the silent movies,
incidentally, atmosphere and mood were
attained by having an orchestra play
while a scene was being shot. Now
adays the orchestral score one hears IN
the sound films are frequently super
imposed after the scene has been taken.
The only faculty to which radio can
appeal is mans hearing. In this re-
spect the broadcast studio presents
problems differing from the motion
picture studio. When the story of Con-
necticut's charter oak was recently done
in dialogue over one of the chains the
Colonial charter with quill pen was
simulated by scratching an ordinary
pin across a piece of paper with the
microphone held close by. The COM
mon pin was found more effective in
loud speaker reproduction than real
pen.
