PUT EVERY CITIZEN | IN HIS OWN HOME
Popular Movement on the Part of President of the
 United States
MAKES GOVERNMENT

President Hoover's plan for a home for every American family has caused much discussion among citizens in Waterbury. Like all other subjects, it has its two sides, or at least some look at it that way. People who own tenement property and cannot find tenants to occupy it and are living in con- stant dread of an advance in values which mean additional taxes fail to see the need of more homes, and claim that instead of talking about homes at this time, the presi- dent should be using his efforts to provide food for the starving mil- lions all over the country.
 That's one view of the case. The other is that this cost of building homes with any hope of ever own ing them deters many from doing anything in that direction, hence the reason why there Is such de- mand for a few rooms in depart ment blocks. Counting the inter- est on what it coses to build one family house, the taxes and up- keep, not to say anything about light and heat, people who have had experience in living conditions say 1t is cheaper to pay rent than own a home of your own. There is some truth in this, but who knows but the president may de- wise some plan whereby families will be put in possession of homes at @ lower price than ever before. If that be so, millions will be glad to quit tenements and occupy homes where they will not be sub- feet to a landlord. This feeling ex- ists in the minds of every man and woman, especially those who are looking forward to raising family of boys and girls, so that If John- ny and Jennie make pencil marks on the veranda the folks will not run chances of being ordered out.
 Anyway, the president touched a popular note when he said such songs as Home, Sweet Home were not written about people who lived in tenement blocks. =.
 What the president has said will help Mayor Quigley of New Brit ain in his campaign with a view to getting legislation which will bring some revenue besides looking to real estate for almost all the cost incident to the proper regu- lation of communities. The as- sessors in every city will tell you that if they could find all the dia- monds and other valuables in pos session of citizens that are never listed, there would be an appre- ciable reduction in the rate charg- ed home owners.

 "1t is said." MT Cochran con- tinued, "that while the board was organized to help the farmers, the latter are paying the grain corpor- ation brokerage fees through the stabilization corporation. This is being paid not only for the grain bought for the stabilization cor poration, but brokerage fees were paid for all the grain sold for the grain stabilization corporation, even where the sale was made at at a loss.

The seeding Is purely an experiment to prove the value of planes in this connec- tion. It is being watched closely by all stockmen.

the indictment of Count de Rivero,
president of Diario de la Marina, and
two of his brothers have no founda-

of encouraging sedition, were at stand
still.

ROUTE NO. | HELD
MOST UNS|GHTLY
Billboard Disagreement on
Main Highway Near Capital
Decried by Miss James.

Appearing at meeting sponsored by
the Neighborhood Garden Club, at the
Westinghouse High School, in Arling-
ton County, last night, Miss Harleau
James, executive secretary of the Amer
lean Civic Association, declared that
United States route No l, running
through Virginia, the District of Colum-
ola and Maryland, is the most unsightly
road in the vicinity of Washington, in
so far as billboards are concerned.
Referring to this road. Miss James
said: 1T would be hard to say whether
Virginia or Maryland would take the
prize for the most obstacles to the
view"
Cites District Contrast.
Miss James declared that Washington
is one OF the leading cities in the colln-
try in freedom from billboards, and that
as result Of this the contrast offered
by the lines of signs along the nearby
Virginia and Maryland roads offers a
more marked contrast than would or
dinarily be the case.
In this part of Virginia" she said.
you are fortunate in having an un-
usually lovely landscape, heritage that
should not be desecrated by the erec-
ton of billboards to hide the view
referring to the anti-billboard CAM
paign that has been in progress
throughout Washington and environs.
Miss James declared that she had not
heard single person defend the sign
boards nor has she attended a single
meeting where the vote against them
was not unanimous.
Urges Cooperative System.
Miss James recommended that each
garden club select a stretch of road
for Identification in the county. claim
ing that this seemed the most logical
method for general countrywide sign
board elimination.
The Neighborhood Garden Club has
already gone on record as opposing ali
manner of roadside signs, but sponsored
last nights mass meeting for the pur-
pose of creating general interest in the
campaign. On the program with Miss
James was j. P. Neal, recently ap-
pointed landscape engineer for the Viz
ginia State Highway Commission. who
made his first public appearance in Ar
hngton County in behalf of general
roadside Identification.
Both speakers pleaded for the clean
ing up Of all approaches to the Ma
tional Capital in time for the opening

with his audience, while he beckoned
to Mr. Sandoval to come forth from
the wings.
Incidentally, Mr.. Sandoval proved
himself-except in this lapse of eti-
quette - particularly sympathetic
assistant. Bolstering up the tenor
with rare good taste, he also played
skillfully for the other young artist,
Kathryn Newman. This lady, whose
voice indicates that she has a flu
ture well worth noting, sang the
difficult "Qui la Voce" from Bellini's
Il Puritani" with remarkable clarity
and brilliancy especially in the up
per range. Disregarding a tendency
crucial moments, Miss Newman
gave evidence that she is a colora-
tura who may very soon be climbing
to the heights, being part way there
already.
Mr.. Gigli's most popular number
was Neapolitan song in which he
brought particularly Carusian
touch. Other selections which the
audience made the most noise over
were Giordani's caro- Mo Ben" an
aria from Verdi's I'll Ballo in Mas
chera," and each and every encore
which he might still have bsen sing
ing If the dinner hour hadn't called
and Mr.. Gigli's voice hadn't begun
to feel the wear and tear.
A most enjoyable recital this. But

and not sung-even in spite of Miss
Newman'S faultless rendition.
