Marietta Park has been the
scene during the past several
years of phenomenal residential
growth, and it again scores in an
offering, by Boss and Phelps, of a
group of five new homes, built by
Max Sugar, located on First st.
N. w.. between Longfellow and
Madison StS., with a completed
home, numbered 5614 First st.
N. w.
The elevation is high and loca-
ton convenient to the Fourteenth
Street carline running through
Third Street. Schools, both Junior
high and elementary, are close
by, as well as shopping section.
Within sight, is a recently ac-
quired area of wooded ground
forming a United States Govern
ment Park, known as Fort Slocum
Park, the site Of an old Civil War
fort.
These homes certainly repre-
sent the highest degree of com
pleteness for the small family
and the buyer who wishes his say
ings to bring him the greatest
amount of satisfaction for the
modest sum invested. They are
built entirely of brick; the front
facade of deep rose toned tapestry
brick, with green shutterings and
a wide, covered. Colonial porch,
concrete floored, with solid brick
pillars and iron railings. Concrete
steps and walks lead to the street
walk, and the terraces are attrac-
lively walled with brick.
Features Club Room
Many people prefer an entrance
hallway adjoining the living room,
for it's privacy. 1t is nicely ar
ranged here, with two sets Of
doors between hallway and
kitchen, making a usable area at
-rst floor entrance, leading to the
club room below, and the furnace
room in rear. The club room
feature has found its way to ex-
treme popularity and is an excep-
tionally useful way to utilize
waste basement space for the
family pleasure.
And there is the kitchen, a gem
in real charm as well as utility.
A double drain-board porcelain
sink, Oxford cabinets built in
with space for every kitchen use;
a handsome, insulated cabinet
range; a late model electric refrig-
orator; colorful inlaid linoleum
and sanitaS covered walls.

open to the lower or double rear
porches. These porches are
roomy, fully screened and are
steel framed from bottom to top
The trim on both floors is of nat
ural wood; floors are oak through
out and both stair riSers and
treads are oak.
Three prettily papered bed
rooms, with the two rear rooms
opening to the screened sleeping
porch; a smart, up to the minute,
hallway bath, with shower and the
tiling done in delicate salmon

Homes of brick will have the
ageless trouble-free copper roofs,
while those of stone will boast
the luxury of impervious and eter-

roofs will last is question that

Delightful Setting
It is impossible to describe the
charm of Long Beach. but i'm
possible not to feel it. 1t is charm
compounded of so many ele-
ments. The beauty of the great
bay and tree-lined shores, the
clear sunshine and invigorating
air, the glorious blue of the sky
all these are a part of it, but yet
they hardly explain the glamol
and fascination of this great bay
shore community. A community
of inspiring beauty and delight
full summer pleasures, Long Beach
seems to have been designed by
nature for the perpetual pleasure
and refreshment of the good citi-
gems of the Nations Capital.
Long Beach is not a public re-
sort, but a summer home COM
munity where wise restrictions
prevent undesirable throngs of
weekend excursionists from en-
croaching upon the privacy, peace
and comfort of property owners
who crave quietness and peaceful
rest and recreation for them
selves and families.
Beach Bridge Parties
Many delightful events for the
summer are being planned by
the Long Beach management. The
first of these will be series of
bridge contests to begin Satur-
day, June "a and continue
practically every day throughout
the entire summer season under
the able leadership of the Wash

The door to the office room was
locked and marks show that it had
been pryed open. The door to the
library room has similar marks, but
nothing is missing from the library,
there being no cash kept there.
Though the robber or robbers left
marks of their activities inside the
building, there were no marks or
evidence as to how they entered the
building and this remains mys-
terry.
A check-up. of tools kept by the
janitor at the school showed a
heavy hammer, chisel and screw
driver missing and these were not
left in the building after the rob-
berry. The dial which was taken
off the safe has not been found.
The crime was committed with
evident skill and a knowledge OF
school conditions. Authorities are
without any clues to establish any
suspicion as to who the guilty party
or parties may be.
Mr.. Trisko was in the building
Sunday to look after the heating

Louis A. Johnson, national COM

judges as the man who has done
the most outstanding things for the

commander continued, that this
Legion of ours is the cradle of the
future of the United States" Com
mander Johnson paid tribute to
Duluth Legionaires for fostering
the Hall of Fame idea, and speaking
of Minnesota Legionaires general
ly, cited instances of the good work
being done by other Legion posts.
"The Legions of Minnesota is a
virile, active organization" he de-
clared. press reports show the
continuous service of its posts to
their communities. Their good
deeds are Minnesota's answer to
our critics. have a double hand
full of Minnesota clippings on my
desk at national headquarters tell
ing of thousands of baskets of food
being distributed, truck loads of
clothing gathered and repaired,
thousands Of children being made

clude those at Starbuck, Eveleth,
Winnebago. Moorhead, Willmar,
Springfield, Two Harbors, Sacred

fined to the Christmas season but
continues throughout the year. AS

Hotel NicOlIet, Minneapolis

It doesn't seem SO long since the
World war but already there are IA

on lived in Little Falls.
These past commanders have
formed an exclusive organization Of
their own which they call 1.-THE
King Tut Squad" indicative of their
former power and glory compos-
ed solely of former state Legion
chiefs, the aim being to keep them
actively interested in the organiza-
ton they once guided and to place
their experience and support at the
disposal of each incoming admins
tration.

ia department, being elected in 1919
and 1920, respectively.

Mr.. Arnoldy's first instructions to
the patrol were short.
"You are to follow the same rules
and policies which have governed
the patrol in the past" he said. BE
courteous under all circumstances,
and apply common sense to your
problems. Give every possible help
to motorists and tourists on our
highways. Obey the traffic rules of
the local community in which you
find yourself. We are a traffic or
ganiZation, not a state constabul-
airy, but if there is ever a question
of saving life or property, don't rest
on technicalities."
The new highway patrol chief is
a former agent of the U. S. Depart
ment of Justice and served as
member of the Minneapolis police
department and also as inspector
for the Hennepin county attorneys
office.

basketball fans have witnessed
some pretty nifty handlers of the
ball.
Monday evening the New York
Nationals, professionals, tarried in
the city to meet up with the Co. M
of this city.
Boy, there's basketball team for
you.
The Co. M lineup Monday even
ing would have acquitted them
selves with credit in mix with an
ordinary bunch of ball tossers from
the Sticks" They were allowed to
score now and thenAin fact they
accumulated 25 for the evening. The
visitors scored 35. They could
have had at least a dozen more
baskets if necessity required.
In the final quarter the Nationals
put on a little soiree of ball hand
ling which not only dazed the MEM
bers of Co. M, but the fair sized
audience as well. On several oc-
casions the big center was stand
ing close by the basket unguarded.
Instead of making a play for the
loop the ball was fired back to
one of his mates in the center of
the floor who with his teammate
passed it around, over and under
the locals at will.
OF all the visiting teams appear
ing on the Sank Centre floor the
New York Nationals play the
cleanest game ever witnessed in
these parts. They rarely even
touched one of the opposing
players.
Monday evenings game was the
4Srd they had played this season,
with nary defeat. Only five men
are carried besides the manager. If
one of the regulars are indisposed
the manager dons the uniform be-
cause "the show must go on"
Manager Beaumont has booked
several other high class profession
al teams to meet up with Co. M be-
fore the season closes. Among
them are the bewhiskered House of
David. It is possible that within
six weeks the New York Nationals
may return to meet the famous col
ored team which have played at
Alexandria and at st. Cloud this
season. They are a very snowy out
fit, tbs said. These teams have met
once this season when the colored
brothers were subdued.
