Democratic Governor of New York
VIII Speak ut Banquet I'm State
Monday Night.

Gov Franklin ID. Roosevelt of New
York, will visit st. Paul Monday, April
Is. Governor Roosevelt. a leading
contender for the Democratic presi
Dental nomination, will speak at
jefferson day banquet in his first pub
lie address outside of his home state
in the present campaign.
A press report sent out from the
Democratic state headquarters has
the following to say about the Roose-
welt visit to MinnesOta's capital city:
1T will be the first time in history
that a leading presidential contender
has honOred the Northwest with his
initial public address and an invita-
tion has been extended to men and
women of all parties to be present
and hear him speak. Governor ROoSe-
velt's Notwithstanding visit was ar
ranged through the efforts and in
fluence of Joseph Wolf, Democratic

forum.
Hailed as the next president of
the United States by progressive
leaders, Governor Roosevelt has indi-
Gated he will talk politics and touch
upon issues vital to the Northwest
although his speech is intended chief
ly as a JeffersOnian address. AL
though not a sO-called keynote
speech, or campaign speech, because
most of the Northwest states have
already Endorsed him for the Demo-

looked upon as one of the most i'm
pOrtant of the Roosevelt campaign.

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Modern American talking films are
being shown in Norway in larger
numbers than pictures from all other
countries combined, but a good deal
of dissatisfaction finds expression in
the newspapers because it is felt that
these screen presentations give incor-
rect impressions of life and manners
in America; their dialog in the Eng
lish language contains, it is pointed
out, too many American slang i'm
purities, and the tone of quite a few
is too suggestive. Aside from all this,
the Norwegian press considers the
American "talkie" menacing compe-
tition to the film industry which is be-
ing developed in Norway itself, and
complaint is made that it is almost
impossible to market Norwegian films
in the United States.
Carl AntOnsen Dead.

New York-had made his home in
Chicago since 1890. Antonsen took a
prominent part in the activities of the
Danish-American association some
years ago; was secretary of the Dan

Word from their henchmen in the

effort to keep his campaign machine

over many incumbents with the re-
suit that they do not give full time

time despite a split in their ranks

|EARLY DECISIONS FIX
OPERATION ECONOMY
National Association of Real Es.
tate Boards Issue Bulletin on
Proper Costs.

Decisions made when present office
structures were still in the blue print
stage are now in a very large degree
determining the degree to which these
buildings may be operated with proper
economy.
This is one Of the facts brought out
in a bulletin on Office building man
agement policies recently issued by the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards. The bulletin, prepared by the
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT division of the
association as a special service to It's
members, lists practical details OF
method through which buildings may
show a satisfactory balance sheet under
present difficult conditions.
John B. Lear, Philadelphia; E. B,
Murray, Kansas City, and Leo j. Sher-
idan, Chicago, are the authorities whose
discussions are included in the brochure.
Here are some of the things listed by
Mr. Sheridan as practically valuable
in making a building rentable-things
which present experience shows should
be watched for at the time the building
Is built:
Once space should be well distributed
as to depth, between 20 and 80 feet In
proper proportions.
Studies made in several cities reveal
the rather surprising fact that the
average Office tenant occupies less than
/ 900 square feet of space. Accepting
this figure, the conclusion is that 40 to
As per cent of the space in a building
should be 20 feet in depth, 40 to As
per cent of the space rs feet in depth,
while the remaining 10 to 20 per cent
should be % to 80 feet in depth.

A brick base surmounted by a lime
stone sill extends around the house. A
combination of materials is used on the

The porch supports are of brick. The
window trim in the brick gable-end Is
stone. Stucco is used for the dining
room gable-end, with red brick lintels
and easement windows.
The house is rooted with slate or
shingle, preferably slate. In either case
the grayS should be warm. with plenty
of variation in burnt siennas sepias,
and blue grays to provide a suitable roof
texture.

the result of its rule and that the
Chinese Communist Party is today
the only organized political force in

A dispatch to the New York Times
from its Far Eastern correspondent,
Hallet Abend, states:
"All China faces the New Year
laundering in uncertainty. The
Kuomintang admittedly has lost the
large measurs of popular confidence
and support it once enjoyed, and the
great danger now is that no other
political party exists except the
secret Communist organization"
After geazs of the bloodiest terror
against the Chinese masses, the i'm
perialists are now forced to admit the
bankruptcy and failure of their Kou-
mintang tools. They are forced to
acknowledge the Communist move
ment as the only progressive and uni
flying force in China. They stand
aghast at the sweeping growth of the
influence of the Communist Party
and the anti-imperialist, anti-Kou-
mintang mass movement. They realize
that the only stable government in
China today is the Central Chinese
Soviet Government which controls an
increasing territory with present
population of over 100000. They
see the robber treaties and the SELL
outs negotiated through their Kuo-
mintang tools increasingly menaced
by the tremendous mass upsurge in
