3,OOO,OOO Homes
 Need Repairing
Offer Large Potential Field
 for Employment

A total of probably c,000,00( homes in the United States require repair and offer large potential field for the employment -stimulat. ing activities of the presidents committee on reconditioning. re. modelling and modern.zation, ac- cording to estimates of the Copper & Brass Research Association. The above total Is based on the assump- ton that a progressing 10 per cent of the country's 21.000,000 homes requires attention yearly and that the normal number is increased at present because of repair work postponed because of general bus mess conditions
 Successful promotion of recon- ditioning work by the presidents s committee would speed expendi- ture in various industries at the rate of $500. 100000 a year, which is q federal estimate of the normal annual outlay for home repairs and maintenance.
 one indication of the beneficial effect on industries in general. should the home reconditioning movement bdIU ID IuI nished by potential copper re- quirements for repair work es- timated by the Copper x Brass Re- imately 270,000,000 pounds.
 Repairs to roofing and roof drainage systems are of outstand- ing importance In the maintennce of home. The association assumes nR h. .t.st,a asx reconditioning need attention to metal parts of their roofs. such as fiashings, gutters and downspouts, because some materials used for these parts last only limited number of years. If on only one- fifth of the total, or 600,00O homes, replacement of such parts were made with copper. the amount of the metal consumed in this work would approximate 250 pounds per house or total of 10000, 900 pounds.
 Water piping is another impor- tant installation which. If not rust proof, requires repair or replace ment after varying terms of serv- ice. 1t is considered reasonable to assume that in almost all of the IiOuBtb iH It- quired. the water piping needs at- tention. If in n fifth of the total number, replacement work were done with brass or copper. the copper requirements would be not less than 200 pounds per house or a total of 120, ,000 900 pounds.
 Rewiring. replacement of cor- roded hardware with brass or bronze hardware. and replacement of broken screens with copper or bronze screens would add conaid erabiy to the total copper com sumption.
 Tn other directions. carpenter work. painting. and paperiDg are undoubtedly necessary in most Oi the estimated total of 3,0OO, ,OOO houses requiring recDndItl0ning. Stimulation Of such work obvious. ly would have n wide reaction in improving industrial conditions and bringing the country nearer t0 the return of normal conditions.

WATERBURY MAN . IN FEDERAL COURT
Cancellation of Citizenship Reserved By Judge
 Carroll C. Hincks
IN NEW HAVEN

Judge Carroll c. Hincks of the United States District Court in New Haven reserved decision yes- terday on the petition of Assistant District Attorney Cohen for can- cellation of the citizenship of An- dry Harbaunk of Waterbury. The latter served in the American army and was honorably discharged. He applied for citizenship in the Wal terbury Court of Common Pleas where his application was denied, but later reopened and granted in 1929. The petition asking for the cancellation argued that Harbaunk had been admitted to citizenship after the date mentioned in the special Act of Congress concerning naturalization of former service men and also that the former service man had been discharged as a neutral alien, classification not eligible for citizenship under the Special Act of Congress of May 26, 1928. MT Cohen pointed out that while the sympathies of the court might be with the applicant since MT Cohen and Judge Hincks were also former service men, tech- nically his citizenship had not been legally acquired.

 London, Noy 17.-(UPD-. Ma. hatma Gandhi demanded before the federal structure committee oi the Indian round table conference to-day that the British army in India be disbanded or placed un- der Indian control.
 He said he hoped to infect the British with ne necessary love for India to enable India to stand alone. If. necessary he said, the Indian national congress would wander in the wilderness for cen- tury through terrible and fiery ordeal, through storm, distress, and misrepresentation, and if necessary and If God wills. through shower of bullets"
 Lord Sankey, chairman of the committee, said he did not think 1t would be in the interests of In- dia to comply with the immediate request to withdraw the army. He emphasized he did not mean with drawal necessarily, but transfer of India's defense to Indian control.
 The Mahatma admitted that per- haps he was speaking foolishly. You should understand that the Indian congress had thousands and tens of thousands of foolish men and foolish women, like me-" Gandhi said with a grin.
 q very respectfully claim in behalf of the congress complete control over the army, defense forces, and external affairs" Gandhi said, reiterating the de- mands adopted by the congress at it's meeting last year.
 Every Indian child knows that the British army, including the In- dian army. Is there for defense of British interests, for avoiding and resisting foreign aggression. to re. press rebellion against constituted Gandhi said.

The quickest way to handle stock valuable is for the company to pursue diligent development work and strike ore, says tn Denver Min ing Record The market for the shares will then take care of itself and the shareholders are in line for stock market profits and dividends. Continued development work fol- lowing out the recommendations of some qualified engineer, is the first goal of every new company.
 Treasury shares of the company are old to carry on the work and the successful company spends as great 8 part as possible of every dollar invested in carrying on this underground development work.
