ALL SHOULD OWN HOME, PREX THINKS
Hoover Tells Building Confer
 enCe How to Aid Citizens

Washington, Sept 25 P1Presi dent Hoover yesterday told the ini- tial meeting of the planning com- mittee Of his conference on home building and home ownership that it should be possible in our coun- try for anybody of sound character and industrious habits to provide himself with adequate housing and preferably to buy his own home"
 The committee held it's first ses- sion at the White House. It was get up at the suggestion of Mir Hoover to study the problem of home ownership with a view to mak- ing it easier for the average citizen to own house.
 The president told the committee the financing of home building. es- pecially through second mortgages, is the most backward segment of our whole credit system.' He added it was easier to borrow 1855 per cent on an automobile and repay it on the installment plan than to buy a home on that basis-and generally a house requires a higher interest rate"
 "I will say at once that we have a large proportion of adequate hous- ing than any country in the world, but we still lag far behind our ma tional ideals for homes for all our people," the president said. Sub stantial advances have been made in some parts of the country; great experience has been gained and it has been the wish of many of these groups that there should be q thor ough national inquiry with view to a summation of this experience. the mobilization of existing movements and the possible development from it of a new state of thought and ac- tion."

RELIEF FROM CURSE
 OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Creek physician says. Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Or derles has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the sys- tenn into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon.
 The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle, thor ough, natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose.
 Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a ReXall Orderlie at night. Next day bright. Get A for 25c to- day at the nearest Liggett or Rexall Drug Store.

CHINESE LINER RESCUES
 S5 STRANDED KANAKAS
Castaways Had Lived On Raw Fish and Birds Blood for
 Month.

Brisbane, Australia, Sept. 25 R = For more than month S5 Kanakas, men, women and children, lived on Bird Island an inhospitable outcrop of rock in the Banda Sea. Their sole food was raw fish and their only drink was seabirds' blood.
 The party had been crossing the Banda sea when their big war canoe was wrecked on the island upon which there is no grass and no liv- ing creatures except myriads of sea news.
 The Kanakas, almost deranged by their terrible privations, were res- cued by the China Australian liner Taiping which had been blown out of her course.

country, then served as military attache

gradually rising in rank until he be-
came the ranking general Of the finest
and most efficiently organized army In
South America.
Not much is popularity known Of the
boyhood of Uriburu. but the fragmen-

recall reveal that even as a lad he was

and conservative Of Speech-al the

One of his classmates said: You

those early years when we were in school
here together in BuenoS Aires, but there
seems to be little to remember. He was
not outstanding. He did not attract
much attention. He was a very quiet
fellow; had little to say. I always
thought he was unusually serious for
his age, and he kept his own counsel

SUE CAROL IN
PICTURESBY
A RUSE

How Sue Carol was coaxed
into taking a test before the
motion picture camera and how
she was almost dragged into
the studio has often been told,
but recently Miss Carol con-
fessed that she was acting all
the time and completely fooled
Nick Stuart and a certain cast
ing director.
Miss Carol secretly made up
her mind to try for a screen
career and, being an intelligent
young woman, made highly
original plans. She had seen
others fail to crash the studio
gates, so she decided to compel
the studio gates to crash her,
so to speak.
Pretending she did not want
to take the test and declaring
she would never consent to act
in motion pictures, the more
she talked the more her friends
insisted and finally she con-
sented to emote before the
camera, "just to please them"
This bit Of acting was, per-
haps, equal to anything she
has ever done in pictures. At
any rate, it was convincing and
she became a screen actress,
while her friends gave them
selves credit for everything.
Sue had. until she was given
her role in this Zane Grey pic
ture. been enacting "flapper"
roles. Now she plays the part
of a sweet and unsophisticated
girl. Possibly this circumstance
influenced her change Of heart.
