less than that of 1925, the year
of maximum output, and II per
cent less than that of 1921. The
total value of the calcined and un.
calcined gypsum sold by pro,
ducerS was $2O,801 ,357, a decrease
of $6,250,127, or % per cent, com
pared with 1880.
New York continues to be the
largest producer Of gypsum. The
production of crude gypsum in
that State in 1881 was 744,6l3
tons, decrease of 18 per cent
from that of 1880. This was 20
per cent of the entire quantity
mined in the United States

and heating firm of j. C. Flood
Company, of 14O5 V st. N. w., re-
port a satisfactory volume of busi'
ness, and the addition of some
new equipment to handle the in
creased demands upon them.
Specialists in all kinds of plumb,

pride themselves on the service
they have been able to render to
builders and property owners. They
have been in business here for
over Is years and base their con
sistent growth upon the quality
and service they have given their
customers. In a recent statement
Mr.. Flood said:
"The reason for the success
in our line of endeavOr and the
demand for our service can only
be because it is based upon the
pillars that will bring success
to any business, namely, prompt
service, quality of materials, ex-
pert workmanship, and a guar
antee which has proven it's
merits. We are very happy and
grateful when year after year,
the same customers, who have
really made our business, con-
tinue to call for our service"
One of the service trucks used
by this firm is especially de,
signed and equipped for work to
be done right at the customers
door. The truck has a special
type body with a false bottom for
tools and other equipment. This
leaves the entire top of the truck
body free to load other materials
when necessary.

IRELAND FACING
/. CRISIS IN VOTE
FOR Dali POSTS
Friday Election Clear Cut
Issue Between Valera
and CoSgrave.
By NEA serrice

! Dy " Il OtfEfC6
LONDON, Feb. 15.-What well
may be the most important cleo
ton ever held in the Irish Free
State will take place Tuesday, when
the Irish voters will be called upon
to choose new members of the dali,
the lower house of their parliament,
which decides who shall be the
head of the state and name the
cabinet.
The battle is a clear-cut one be-
tween President w. T. Cosgrave,
who has been head of the govern
ment for ten successful, fruitful
years, and his old opponent, Ea-
mon de Valera.
The two leaders are as different
in personality as they are opposed
in policy and it will be fight to
the finish.
Men Opposites
Cosgrave is slight, of sanguine
hue, and fair hair, beginning to
get sprinkled with gray. Valera is
tall, gangly, black OF hair and SAL
low of skin.
Cosgrave smiles easily. Valera
rarely smiles. Cosgrave is a plain
speaker. Valera is a rhetorical ora
tor. Cosgrave looks to the future.
Valera dwells upon dark and sor-
rowful past in Ireland.
Cnc0T@o va ho1ioVyoc iy, +Ia 11auy ayo
of close friendship and commerce
with England. Valera still looks
upon England as the traditional
enemy.
Cosgrave pursues government as a
business to be conducted as a bust
ness. Valera rides off on a high
horse as visionary, willing to take
chance with doubtful experiments.
Expect Close Vote
The two men represent two diff
ferent schools of thought. Cosgrave
is satisfied with the Irish Free
State constitution, which gives the
country the status of a self-govern-
! ing dominion in the British empire;
a voice in empire affairs, equal to
that of England and the other
dominions; and the advantage of
benefting from any preferred posi-
ton England will give the domin-
ionSS.
Valera is republican. He chafes
at any connection of any kind be-
tween Ireland and England. He
wants to remove from the consti-
tuition the taking of an oath of al
legiance to the king.
AS Ireland has proportional vot-
ing, the result of the election may
not be known definitely for several
days. 1t also is probable that neither
side will attain very large ma
jority.

NEGRO ADMITS
GIRLS MURDER
Fear of God Questioning
Breaks CompoSure.

By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Is. - His
pious hopes of heaven and his fear
of hell caused Willie Brown, To-
year-old Negro, to confess the
brutal attack and murder of 7
year-old Dorothy Lutz, police an
nounced today.
The accused boy today awaited
arraignment on murder charges
after thirty-six hours of continu-
Gus grilling, varied by cajolery and
hattery. When all other methods
failed, one detective questioned the
Negro about religion.
You're never going to get to
heaven" the detective told Willie.
You have a sin on your soul that
is going to make you burn forever.
You'll never get to heaven unless
you confess it.
Now, before God who will judge
you, did you kill this little grip"
YES" he is reported to have said,
81 killed her"
The initiated ring found near
Dorothy's body was his, Willie adj
mitted. But the ring had not been
used to lure Dorothy into the va
can't house where the mutilated
body was found after she had been
missing four days.
The treasure that lured her was a
jumping rope, prepared days ahead,
police said.
"She seemed frightened" the
Negro told detectives, when she
saw the rope on the floor of the
bedroom. She picked it up and
started to run from the house and
I grabbed her"

An interesting study Of housing
conditions in greater Indianapolis
was made by telephone company
engineers in 1923. The survey is
fairly applicable to the present.
The study revealed that of the
98,485 families checked, 1892 per
cent lived in houses or apartments
classified as fair. Houses in this
classification ranged in estimated
value from $4,000 to $4,000, and
rented for from $40 to $42 a month.
In number, they totaled 40,842.
Classified as poor we're 1892
units, valued at less than S2,400,
and renting for less than $40 a
month, equal to 1896 per cent of
the total.
Classify All Houses
There were 1877 houses included
in the high class rating, worth moro
than $4,000 and renting for $125
or more a month. These constituted
lib per cent of the total.
The next lowest classification was
good" ranging in value from $4,000
to $4,000 and renting for from SIS
to SIPS month. There we're 1924
houses in this group, or 1907 per
cent.
Second greatest in number in the
group were medium houses, worth
from $4,000 to $4,000, and renting
from $42 to $75 a month. These
numbered 28,562, or 1852 per cent
Chart 1850 Plan
An interesting phase of the study
was the companys estimate of con-
ditions by 1880
The 1850 estimate is based on
162,360 families with greater In
dianapolis population of approx
mately 100000.
1t reveals the company's eXpecta-
ton of improved housing condi-
tons, with a larger percentage of
houses in the high class and good
groups, and a substantial decrease
in poor houses.
The percentage figures were:
High class, 941 per cent; good,
1877; medium, 1886; fair, 3739,
and poor, DAT.
Prepare for Building
Realizing the trend of the public,
including even the poorest classes,
to demand better housing condi-
tons, realtors and builders here,
who are watching conditions closely
are preparing to engage in home
building on an extensive scale
within a short time, in anticipation
of improved economic conditions.
Reduced cost of building mate
rails and labor also is responsible
for plans being developed to re-
model and modernize many present
homes.
The city building commissioner in
1881 issued 1852 permits for con-
structiOn of new houses at an aver
age cost of $500 each Of the
total, 223 permits were for one-story
single houses.
The same year 1894 permits we're
issued for repairs and alterations,
valued at $754,051.

carried a restriction that no part Of ii
could be used for purchase Of a pas
senger-c carrying automobile. He said he
was successful in persuading the Senate
to remove this restriction, but did not
know whether the House would do So
Fearing that the House might not con-
sent to its removal and that the 1882
appropriation would lapse, leaving the
department with no car at all. he said
1t was decided to purchase the small
car Then, when the House consented
the larger car was purchased, but the
department was left with the smaller
one also on its hands.
Insisting there was no extravaganza
in the purchase of the two expensive
cars. however, Mr.. Brown told the
committee:
These cars, as all of you know, are
used by the wives of the heads of the
department in making their offcial
calls and performing their official duties
which, while they may not seem i'm
portant, are very considerable. There Is
not any automobile that Is In service
every day. It cannot be kept in service
every day, because it must be serviced,
creased, the valves must be ground, and
there are always some minor repairs 70
be made. My opinion Is that In our de-
partment 1t Is economical to have two
good cars to perform the service that Is
demanded Of them. think there Is
substantial economy in having high
grade cars. which will stand up and
perform service. ! believe you will find
that you will save money by IT, instead
OF trying to operate cheap cars"
