formers at the egg-laying contest were
missing-roughly about $4,000 worth of
blue -blooded, highly-pedigreed egg lay
erS.
However successful the Sigma M
banquet may have been, it looked like
the egg-laving contest was going to
flop That was two months ago.
Later. some interested people at the
university began to question the Sigma
NUS. The big banquet, they learned,
had been in honor of the newly &C
Quired brothers, and just to prove to
the freshmen goats" what big honor
it was, their superiorS allowed them to
supply the chickens.
At least three-fourths of the initiates
were heeled with money, having written
to their fathers recently.
This, unfortunately, was not the case
of the three who occupied the uneasy
seats.
Three -fourths of the initiates bought
their chickens at Washington markets,
but no one seems to know how the I'M
easy trio acquired their choice fowls.
In any event, the national chapter of
Sigma Nu suspended the Maryland
branch for a year, and the university
came forward with q pledge for the
worth OF the late participants in the
egg-laying contest.
Worth Of Fowls Uncertain.
The chickens were in charge of Prof.
Roy A. Waite. who teaches agriculture.
The owner was a gentleman farmer of
Virginia. He said:

$4,000 each, depending on whether they
could have won the contest. ! leave it
to the university to name their value"
A committee from Sima M had this
to say to the universitys student affairs
committee:

our idea to give q big chicken dinner.
with the initiates bringing the chicken.
We upper classmen told them that there
were IL of them and 20 of us and
advised them to figure out how many
chickens would be required at l for
each banqueter."
Economists at the university are in
something Of a quandary over the ulti-
mate cost and are busy figuring how
laid, how much eggs from such blue
blooded fowl might be worth and the
chance which each bird had to win the
finals in the egg laying contest.
Leg Band In Incinerator.
It may be irrelevant, but Prof. Waite
found the leg band of one of the hens
in q trash pile behind the fraternity
house. The leg band had belonged to
the hen which was leading the national
contest.
Possibly it Is equally irrelevant, but
the other fraternities have decided
upon fish dinners for their new
members.
The university. it was explained,
maintains no aquarium.

quently during May in this vicinity.
The warm weather Of the last few
days was caused by an enormous high
pressure area in the lower ATTITUDES,
which causes southerly winds to blow
in this direction, 1t was pointed out.
The combination OF sunshine and wind
drives temperatures up. The lifetime
of high pressure area, the Weather
Bureau says, Is highly speculative and
might last for weeks.
The two outstanding features OF such
an area are the absence of cyclonic
storms where 1t is present and q lack
OF rain.
Area Origin Unknown.
The origin of high pressure area is
in itself quite a mystery, according to
the Weather Bureau. Such an area is
probably brought on in part by sea
water temperatures and partly by little
understood conditions of the higher air.
Beyond this, it was said, no explanation
can be made.

HOME OWNERSHIP
New Machinery Set Up for
Practical Assistance
to Citizens.

The Government of the United States
has put itself actively and powerfully be-
hind the widening of home ownership.
In q way which has never been done it is
undertaking to bring practical assistance
to make it possible for its citizens to
own the physical structures that shelter
their family life. It is setting up a
machinery new to American life for this
specific purpose. It is planning to draw
from the various great business groups
concerned with home buying whatever
facts and ideas they can suggest that
win open home ownership as widely as
possible to its people.
This Is the meaning of the meeting in
Washington recently of the Planning
Committee for the Conference on Home
Building and Home Ownership, which
President Hoover has set up, as inter-
preted by national realtor officials.
simultaneously the ableSt business
minds of the country, the financial
leaders, the men who are conceiv-
ing new co-ordinations of business
and bringing new economies into exist
ence in production and consumption, are
looking In new way into the field OF
home production, and the cor. junction
Of these two factors should mean much
for the future of the family that wants
to own its own home. and for the future
of real estate activity, Leonard p.
Reaume, president Of the National As
ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards, states in
reporting the work of the recent WASH
tngton meeting, which he attended as a
member Of the Planning Committee.
Lamont Announces Program.
. Robert p. Lamont, chairman of the
conference, In announcing its program,
stated emphatically that investigation
showed actual need for single family
dwellings and apartments in many CEN
tiers, and that availability of mortgage
money, combined with the current low
costs of building materials, mean that
for the man who wants to own home
now Is good time to build.
At least $50,000.000 900 will be spent
on. new residential construction in the
United States during the next 20 years,
It was estimated at the WASHINGTON ses-
sioi1s Of the Presidents Planning Com
mittee. Reports showed that upward

of $500, 100000 is being spent cur
rently on household repairs and main
tenance.
The new machinery which is being
set up by the Federal Government spe-
ciically to investigate the problems Of
home ownership and encourage and aid
home ownership will be built up as an
organization within the Department Of
Commerce The conference is being so
named as to draw facts and ideas from
the various existing business organiza-
tons and groups whose work is related
to or concerned with home production.
Twenty committees will be set up
within the conference, according to the
program formulated at the recent Wash
ington meeting. The coordination of
their work Is to be made possible
through q new organization formed for
that purpose within the Department Of
Commerce.

special pispatch to The star.


ROME, october 24.-The ancient
Roman baths of AQuilela, city found
ed in 181 BE-, have just been exca-
waited. The founders Of this frontier
fortress took with them 5000 soldiers
and chose a site not far from the spot
where the Gaulish invaders had at
tempted to settle.
The discovery Of nearby gold mines
increased the Importance of the settle
ment, and 1t soon became a center of
trade and agriculture. Its importance
was further increased with the con-
struction of an imperial palace, in
which Diocletian and his successors re-
sided.
These baths must have been, II one
judges them by the fragments Of rare
ornamental friezesA mosaic pavements
and foundations, equal in richness and
beauty to those Of Rome. The plan Is
similar to those of Caracalla, and the
equally important baths of Timgad in
North Africa. The baths probably were
built before the second century.
Pavements Found Intact.
The structure is Of limestone blocks,
built with a plaster of lime and water
Seven pilasters Of the portico have been
found. Their preservation is due to the
fact that in later years these were used
for a wall, which ran from northwest
to southwest. Close to the base were

discovered sections Of decorative friezes,
which originally formed part Of the
portico. There Is one room In which q
mosaic pavement was found. It Is q
design Of black and white, surrounded
by black The design remains, though
the surface was damaged by the In
filtration Of water.
Identify Use Of Rooms.
After the fall of the Roman Empire
the baths were abandoned, probably
sacked, and part of it was used as q
cemetery. Wholesale plundering EVIL
IDENTIFY removed oil statues which stood
in the inches, and though there were
places for panels on the walls, none was
discovered with the exception OF some
fragments.
A pipe for the circulation Of hot air
was decorated with design Of palms,
while a cornice was covered with geo.
metrical figures and q fragment found
nearby was designed in brilliant, yell
low and green with the central motif
q grimm.
Fragments Of Panels.
This color scheme was the favorite
one used on jugs, used in the estab-
lishment. Fragments of panels we're
found, designed in different shades Of
green, fading to pale yellow. There
were punches Of grapes in yellow, and
birds OF colored plumage. The teSSerae
are in many cases combined with mar
Bile and colored stone squares.
The same love Of color marked this
work. One frieze was divided into Sec
tons by q band of red and green with
white at the bottom. In the center
was knotted branch with yellow and
red leaves. The curves around 1t also
are knotted. Evidently this had SYM
bolic meaning.

BLOOD OFFERED
To SAVE GIRL

More than a dozen persons
have offered to give part of
their blood today in order that
Elizabeth Carlo, 13, may have a
fighting chance for life.
Elizabeth has been bedridden
for more than two months at
Providence Hospital suffering
from a kidney and heart ailment
that has steadily grown worse
because her parents could not
afford a blood TRANSMISSION.
Hardly had the condition of
the child become known when
offers of blood began to come
into the hospital. Of those who
called at the institution and of
fered blood some were friends of
the family, while others were
strangers. From those calling
four were selected for the blood
test. One of these will be chosen
and the TRANSMISSION given today.
Elizabeth is next to the oldest
child of family of eight, the
youngest child being but two
months old. Her father is a
day laborer in the employ of
the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, and lives in
the TOO block Second st. N. E..
