ment has been appointed United States
consul to Batavia, in charge OF the

A light green wall is effective with
deep green linoleum, and salmon

now more practical than ever, because,

RENTAL PROPERTY
REPAIR IS URGED
F. II. A. Sponsored Program
Is Recognized by Owners
and leSSeeS.

A field of activity that is gaining
national property rehabilitation pro-
gram now going forward under the
leadership of the Federal Housing
Administration is that of the reno
vation of tenanted properties-both
residential and business.
Considered Of great potential bene-
fit to the building industry and its
allied businesses, the reconditioning
and modernization of this type struc-
lures would, II carried to the limit,
involve expenditures 100 per cent
greater than for owner-occupied
properties, some have estimated.
Property surveys in several cities
have shown instances where rented
homes and business places need re-
pairs in twice as many cases as do
owner-occupied properties. Rooming
and boarding houses, single and
double family-rented homes, apart
ments. stores, shops, ETC., are ex-
amples of the properties included in
this category.
BY Owner or Lessee.
In this connection, the Federal
Housing Administration points out
that loans made under its supervision
by private local lending agencies may
be used for repairing and modernizing
such structures, either by the owner
or tenant. In the case Of the owner,
the customary regulations prevail.
II the lessee of the property desires
to borrow to make improvements, 1t is
required that the lease imposes on
the lessee the duty to make alterations,
repairs and improvements In order
that the note may qualify for insur-
ance. Provision is made here, too, that
the nnal termination date of the lease
is at least six months later than the
date on which the final payment is
due on the note.

Living Room Feature.
Entrance to the home is made from
a small porch directly into a hall
which may be said to be portion of
the large living room. This living
room is one of the features of the
house. 1t is 81 feet long and Is feet
3 inches wide, considered unusually
roomy for a hmall home. 1t extends
the entire depth of the house, and
has windows overlooking the east,
north and west. A door leads from
the living room to the large north
porch, while between this entrance
and the north window is a large fire.

poslte the front entrance, leads to
the second-floor hall in the rear.
The master bed room on the south
east corner is Is feet by IL feet 3
inches in size and has windows over
looking the two directions A second
bed room of almost equal spacious
ness occupies the northeast corner,
with a smaller bed room directly be-
hind it. AL of the bed rooms have
specious closets. A large bath room
equipped with latest plumbing fix
lures is situated on the southwest
corner and opens on the large hall.
Assuming that the feminine head
OF the house would have to spend a
goodly portion of her time doing
chores in the basement, the designer
went to great length to make this
portion of the home attractive and
to tighten the burden of her work.
The structure is so set that the cellar
is flooded with light from windows
placed directly at the ground level.
These are similar to basement win
dows Of c >lonial houses. The outside
walls are tiled drained around the
footingS and tarred on the outside
to prevent dampness.
Trim Colonial wallpapers and light
ing fixtures are used throughout. The
house is heated with hot water and

pipes are used.

for Match
Tennis Pro Star Mentions
Plans to Come Back
in Summer.

Urefacing his appearance on the
Butler feldhouse courts tonight with
an informal tennis talk at Short
ridge high school yesterday, Big Bill
Tilden invaded indianapolis with
plans to put the Hoosier capital
city on theteennis map.
He chose this city or n of ten
sectional professional tennis meets
this summer, probably the last week
in June, and promised for compe-
tition such stars as Richards, Vines,
Barnes, Hans Nusselin, Karelin Ko-
zeluh, Henri Cochet and Martin
Plea.
Tilden will meet Ellsworth Vines
i ma professional match tonight in
Butler feldhouse. On the same pro-
gram Vincent Rihcards will play
Bruce Barnes, and Tilden and
Barnes will team together to meet
Vines andn Richards in a doubles
match.
. Tilden must win tonight to main
tain a slim margin over Vines. In
their seventeen contests during the
current tour Vines has won egiht
matches and Tilden nine. The trip
has carried them from coast to
coast.
A canvas court will be laid in
the Butler fieldhouse for the matches
tonight. 1t is green, with boundary
lines painted in white.
All children and high school stu
dents will be admitted to the
matches at half price.

The Babe is a few cubic inches
short of Napoleonic in his wisdom,
but the lineup he fixed ended the
losing streak and started the club
on a winning squirt. uncle Wilbert's
comment was: you've got too much
brains to be an outfelder. You
ought to be a manager"
The grandeur that was Brooklyn
began to fade when Uncle Wilbert
was replaced by the square-jawed
matter-of-fact Max Carey, a very
estimable gentleman in many re-
spects. but unhappily cast as a Flat
bush leader. He brought system to
a situation that cried for artistic
freedom.
Mr.. Casey Stengel is much better
equipped for the job. He has a high
sense of the ridiculous, a b%oiSterous
nature. and-well, I doubt that he
can even spell system. SO bring him
on as the Brooklyn manager. He is

United Press Stan correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-Qulte
out of keeping with the spirit of
brotherly love which is said to
characterize this city, two young
gentlemen today laid plans to sepa-
rate n another from their reSpec-
tive heads.
One was Max Schmeling who, in
his time, has been called the Teuton
Schlager, the Black Uhlan, the
Fatherland Flailer, and, by at least
one imaginative genius, the Rhine
Rooster.
The other was Steve Hamas.
Steve, to our knowledge, never has
had a nom de guerre. 1 shall REM
edy this handicap at once by nam
ing him the Penn State PlaSterer,
the Quaker City QuiXote, and, with
out knowing whether he ever saw
a lump of coal in his life, the An
thracite Assassin. I add the last
title purely to keep in good standing
in the sportSWriters' guild, which
body demand sthat a fighter from
Pennsylvania automatically be con-
nected with anthracite.
The Rhine Rooster and the An
thracite assassin meet tonight fol
ten rounds in Convention hall, in
what is said to be a tremendously
important prize fight. I have il
on good authority that unless the
Rhine Rooster wins, and wins i'm
p%ressively, he might just as vel
catch a boat for Germany and re-
turn to his beauteouS cinemactress
wife, Amy Ondra.
I have seen pictures of Miss On

dra, and you can take it from me
that you need not feel sorry for
Max if he loses. In fact, If 1 were
Schmeling I'd make it a point to
get whammed in the first minute OF
the first round and catch a plane.
Just what effect a defeat will
have on Hamas has not been made
quite clear. Having no Amy On
dra, he can't catch a boat. Even
if he did, I doubt if he's got enough
money to book passage. You see,
Hamas is just another fighter right
now, so a defeat will leave him
Just where he is, which point is,
roughly speaking, nowhere. Now a
victory would be something else.
Schmeling is no wonder, as Max
Baer proved that fateful night last
June, but he's an ex-champion of
the world of fairly recent vintage,
and licking him would, to coin a
phrase, place Mamas squarely in
the heavyweight picture.
If Schmeling wins, he'll probably
be granted a shot a Primo Camera
and a chance to become the first
heavyweight champion to regain
his title. Baer is the natural choice
for Camera, but as the Marquis of
Queensbury rules forbid a fighter
taking six or seven blond honeys
into the ring with him, Baer is
probably out. King Levinsky also
rated ahead of Schmeling until the
other night when Madison Square
Garden made the mistake of put
ting him on exhibition. Levinsky,
in direct contrast to little children,

NEW YORK. Feb. l3.-The re-
~ port that Mr.. Casey Stengel
may replace Mr.. Max Carey as
manager OF the Brooklyn Dodgers
is too good to be true.

Just as apparently there is no

there is any beginning to his astute-
ness, and for that reason / am not
at all optimistic that plain logic will
prevail.

The score of 48 to Sc in favor of
the Northwestern university swim
team over the HooSier Athletic Club
squad Saturday night does not in
dicate the keen competition Every
race, with the exception of two, fin
ished with only a slight lead to the
winner.
The event was held in the H. A.
c. pool and a capacity attendance
was on hand. Ned Tilman of H. A.
c., forced Don Horn, national
records holder, to break the pool
mark by two seconds in the 100-yard
breast stroke. The time Of LOIS
was only two seconds behind the
worlds record.
Buster Dietz, Southport high
school lad, swimming for the H. A.
G. squad, pulled a sprint on the
last 100 yards Of the quater mile to
defeat Hahn of Northwestern by
twenty feet. Dietz covered the dis
lance in SIG, which is five seconds
faster than the time he made to win
the mid-states event a month ago.
Fred Robinson, Shortridge high
school boy, annexed the back stroke
race by several feet, swimming the
100 yards in 1903. The collegiate
champions were not sure of winning
the meet until the next to the last
event on the program was COM
pleted.
Tom Robinson, veteran North
western coach, said it was one Of
the most interesting meets he yer
had witnessed and extended an in
vitation to Bud Swain, H. A. c..
coach, to bring his squad to Evans
ton next season. Every H. A. c. pool
record, except one, was broken Sun
day.
Northwestern, national %intercol-
legiate champions, scored a grand
