HOUSES
. . SELLING FAST

The sale of four of the nine
early American English type
homes, recently completed, on T
Street, between Thirty-eighth and
Thirty-ninth streets, by Cooley
Brothers, is indicative of the
strong demand for this attractive
type of row dwelling, and accord
ing to the builders, work will start
at once on eight more, which will
make a row of II houses.
Located in Burleith Heights, and
constructed Of the best possible
building materials, these homes,
ranging in size from six to eight
rooms, with one and two baths,
range in price from $4,000 to
$4,000. Each lot is 172 feet deep
with detached brick garage. Paved
alleys and streets, shrubs, trees
and additional features afford
each home an ideal setting.
Each home is moderniStically
decorated throughout, while an
open fireplace in the living room
makes this the showroom of the
house. Hardwood floors, cedar.
lined closets, frigidaire, slate gable
roof, bright easements with laun-
dry trays, new type furnace and
Pittsburgh instantaneous water
heater add much to the comforts
Of the home.
A concrete front porch and two
Screened-in rear porcheS afford ad-
ditional space. Located on a high
elevation and with a southern ex-
posure, these homes offer comfort
to home owners who find it neces-

Structing wooden letters and rails
ing them above roof level.
Simple Block Letters
A simple block letter in chrome
yellow with a dark background
is generally used. Uncolored
white lead paint may be used,
but the addition Of chrome pig
nent to the paint increases
somewhat the legibility of the
sign. Letters less than six feet
in size are of little value. Ten
to twenty,foot letters make the
most readable signs. Clear alb.
breviations of the name in large
letters are preferred to the full
name painted in small letters.
Beside the name of the town
or city, the marking should in
clude large arrow pointing due
north with the letter IN" under
or over the arrow shaft.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-A crime wave,
which police officials say has no
parallel in recent years, is sweeping
England and the continent in the
wake of the economic depression.
Unemployment, bankruptcy. and
the collapse of banks and private
firms have brought great disregard
of law and order.
Twelve murders remain unSolved
on the blotter of Scotland Yard.
A few years ago there we're seldom
more than two or three murders
under investigation at any time.
Most of the recent murders have
been particularly brutal and have
had robbery as the motive, showing
the extremes to which people have
gone to obtain money.
England was startled few weeks
ago by the first bombing attempt
in many years. Four postal workers
we're injured when the bomb ex-
ploded prematurely in van at the
central postoffice in London. The
van contained mail for Buckingham
palace, the government offices in
Whitehall and the homes of prom
inent Englishmen.
Another sensational feature of the
economic stringency in England has
been the large number of suicides
and death-pacts.

ATHENS. oct. 51.-Arrest Of
General 7'heodorus Pangalos, for
mer dictator, and of thirty Of his
followers, was believed TO have
checked what authorities call an
attempt TO overthrow the Greek
government today.
General Pangalos was arrested
Thursday while Premier Eleutherios
Venizelos was in Angora for the
signing of accords Of friendship and
naval parity between Greece and
Turkey.
Ohicials said that General PAN
galos and his colleagues took advan-
tage of the absence Of the premier
70 push their plan for the overthrow
Of his government.
The friendship Of Venizelos for
Turkey was believed to have been
the excuse Of the Pangalos faction
for its alleged attempt TO seize
power.
Supporters of the former dictator
appeared encouraged by a slight
public reaction against the policy of
Greco Turkish rapprochement.
General Pangalos dissolved the
national assembly and expelled his
predecessors in the Greek govern
ment when he became dictator Of
the country in an armed coup in
September, 1925.
He announced that he would give
Greece a pure administration" and
hold elections for a new general as
sembly, but after no elections had
been called during several months
of his dictatorship, he was over
thrown by an armed revolt and fed
from Greece.
