BOOM FOR VACANT
OFFICE SPACE SEEN
Industrial Recovery Program
Expected to Bring Organ
izationS Here.

Speedy absorption of much of Wash
ington's available downtown Office space
will result from the putting into opera
ton of the Administrators industrial
recovery machinery, in the opinion OF
Morton j. Luchs, vice president of
Shannon & Luchs, Inc. realtors.
The Public Buildings Commission, Mr..
LuchS points out in support of this
view, has already found it necessary to
shift number of governmental units
so that quarters may be available to
the first of these emergency agencies.
More than half hundred national
trade organizations which have in
dorsed the Government business plan
Of action may establish Offices in the
Capital to keep in constant touch with
the Government operations, he be-
lieves.
Some Already Located Here.
"a few Of these organizations, Mr..
Luchs points cut, already have Of
fees here, but they are small legisla-
tive contact bureaus functioning only
when Congress Is In session. Among
organizations which doubtless will find
1t advantageous to establish Offices
here are lumber, cement, tile, brick
and other construction material IN
terests. The plumbing and heating sup
ply trades and the Structural Steel
Manufacturers Association have not
yet voted on the matter, but have ex-
pressed their intention OF going along
with the new set-up.
The original organization of the
Joint industries and public works de-
partment will of course, be limited, but
both plans briStle with intricate prob
lens and this will doubtless compel
early establishment of branch bureaus
and the employment of a small army
of high-clasS personnel.
The Glass -Steagall bank act will
quite likely make necessary the estab-
hShment here of contact forces from
each Of the regional districts. The
farm relief. home loan, forest conser-
yations and railroad administration
programs are still to be developed, al
though several have been functioning
for long time. All must eventually
add to their STATS, to the direct benefit
Of the local housing market and busi-
ness conditions generally"
Not Believed Overbuilt.
The city is not overbuilt as regards
modern commercial accommodations,
according to Mr. Luchs.
Washington, however, Is now, and
long has been, overbuilt in outmoded
and decadent structures, both of the
business and residential types" he
adds. This impending demand for
modern space of both classes, coming
as it will at q time which, in normal
years, would be regarded as the be-
ginning Of the dull rental season, puts
Washington in a favored position over
other cities of its class, and 1t should
give boost to the moderniZation move
ment already well begun. Anyway,
these large additions to the Federal
pay roll in washington will far offset
any curtailments made under the
budget-cutting program and materially
increase the buying power of the local
consuming public in spite of the tenn
porary IS per cent pay cut imposed
upon sixty-odd thousand old-time Gov
eminent employees"

Sunproof Draperies Advised.

"Insist on sunproof draperies for
Summer rooms" is a warning every
home-maker should heed. Nothing Is
more discouraging than to spend time
and money carefully furnishing color

Luneska and everything that
goes with her!" was the brazen
answer. "If you represent her,
I do not mind in the least tell
ing you exactly what she is.
She is a plain common"
The sentence was never fin
ished. Lucky Cavanaugh's fist,
hard and solid as a rock,
smashed against Kruger's teeth.
1t was not a hard blow, yet the
man collapsed under the i'm
pact and SpraWled shapelessly
on the floor.
Slowly he began to pull him
self up into a sitting position.
One hand grasped the edge of
the table. Without any haste
he attained his feet by degrees.
For an instant his right hand
was hidden from Cavanaugh's
gaze. When it reappeared it
held the glittering shape of a
cheap revolver.
Cavanaugh'S eyes moved SLOW
1y from the menacing revolver
to Kruger'S face. Curiously
enough he did not read his fate
in the burning eyes of the other
but in the twisted lips drawn
back over saffron teeth. It
was a mouth reeking with
murderouS hate.

spoke. It was significant that

rights and I'm going to stay

not afraid of you-I'm not
afraid of anybody! You can
beat me but you cannot silence
me unless you kill me-"
Cavanaugh's eyes were steel.
What Karl Kruger had said
was the exact truth. Only
murder would guarantee his
silence. Deliberate murder was
something that Cavanaugh was
not prepared to administer.
Its your own life you're
gambling with, Kruger" he said
evenly. Nobody has said any
thing about numbering you, but
you're not going to stay around
here and humiliate Miss LII
neska. Furthermore, you're not
going to spill your rotten story
about her to anybody. You can
be silenced so quickly it would
make your head swim"
Kruger'S narrow lips drew
back over yellow teeth. Perhaps
the grimace was meant for a
smile. The flanges of his thin
nostrils widened as he drew in
breath with a weedy whistling
sound.

At the same instant in the
adjoining office, three men
crouched around the black bulk
of the theater safe. One of
them held a small, feeble flash
light. For what they were
about to do not much light
was required.
The safe was prepared with
technical perfection for its ex-
plosion. They were so silent
they could hear their watch
ticking off the few remaining
seconds. The forehead and
hair of one was wet with sweat.
The other two, who were older,
breathed evenly with only a
slight acceleration of their
pulses. Kruger's voice from
the next room was family
audible.

them guys next door?" whiS-
pered the sweating one.
"Shut up!"
"It amt so good having
people next door," insisted the
worried voice that rustled like
a dry leaf. Maybe they're
coppers waiting to swarm in on
us. How do we know?"

to forget the whole business.
It was not a pleasant thing to
get mixed up in. Nevertheless,
the knob turned under his

Karl Kruger stared at him
belligerently from the depth of
an diversified leather chair. In
this room of soft lights and
theatrical luxury the murky-

defiance.

harshly, land bring that filthy

which are not to be transferred
but instead cut out and used
for patterns. This method is
much easier for quilt making
than transferring, for too many
