nature of NJ. s. Milan, 'Presidente Municipal or Mayor"
 / A letter to the National Better Business Bureau from the Mexican Affairs Division of U. s. Depart ment of State says: "The vice con sul 'stated he had been informed by the registrar of deeds, Saltii- To, that page 167 volume 83 of does not contain the purported stated further than the Coahuila Lloyd are not known to the regis trar, to the office where mining taxes are collected in Saltillo, or to Senor Alfredo Monsivais who; is and was on July 25, 1884. the 'Presidente Municipal (Mayor) of Saltillo. With reference to one of the, signatures appearing on tho purported court decree, the vice consul stated that there appears never to have been a presiderfte municipal of Saitillo named NJ. s. Millin Cor Millan)."
 Another Denial
 The Anglo Persian company, through its New York attorneys, Messrs Sullivan and Cromwell, has informed this bureau that it "bas not purchased, acquired, optioned, or in any way obtained from either the Coahuila Oil & Gas company or any one by the name of A. D. Lloyd any oil rights. grants, fran chises, lands, or any kind of prop erty of any nature whatsoever, To- cated in Mexico or otherwise, nor has 1t carried on any negotiations with the parties named above"

 Gee! That's still another field where the government is stepping in and doing the banking, eh ?"' John, Jr, commented. HELPS HOME OWNERS
 "I don't know just how sound this home loan business is from a banking point of view, but it's cer- tainly a great thing for people, isn't it? After all. we want this to bB a country of home owners-you and I know, dad. that they're bet ter customers.
 And I guess you and mad feel pretty strange if somebody came along and made you move out of here tomorrow, wouldn't your"
 Pa and Ma Jones exchanged glances that told much more about the Home Owners Loan Corpora ton than a volume of statistics. Nevertheless, only figures can show the vast, extent to which the gov- ernment has gone into the home real estate business.
 $50, ,OOO HOMES SAVED
 The homes of 650,000 families have been saved from foreclosure by the HOLC, which has advanced nearly two billion dollars to do this.
 Its bonds, for which the govern ment has made itself responsible, have been issued for about that amount. The bonds are held by the insurance companies and private mortgage holders whose mortgages have been taken over by the gov ernment.
 It is expected that by the time the HOLC stops loaning this win ter a million home owners will owe their security (and their mortgage interest and prinoipaD to the government.

The Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, through its investisa- tions department, announces re- ceipt to-day of a bulletin from the National Better Business Bureau reporting that Dr A. D. Lloyd, con- victed last spring of using the mails to defraud, is now attempt ing to get stockholders of his Tex as oil promotions to send him. money on a promise to- return $20 for every $1.00 advanced. The bureau states that inquirers report receipt of Lloyd's communications by railway express and that money is to be sent to him by telegraph. The bureau observes this method of communication without the ser vices of the mails is interesting in view of the attention which the United States postoffice department has paid to Lloyd's earlier promo tional activities.
 Lloyd claims that a Mexican property. in which his old stock holders are supposed to have an interest, has been bought by the Anglo o-Persian Company, large British combine, and that $40O,00O has been deposited in bank for the purchase. Mexican laws, he says, require tax to be paid before the funds can be released. Those who send him funds to accumulate the tax money are to share the $400,- 900.
 Written in English
 The bulletin says in part: "In support of his representations, Lloyd encloses wha. purports to be a photostatic copy of a court decree dated July 25, 1894, at Sal tillo, Coahuilla, Mexico. This docu- ment which, oddly enough. is in the English language, reads in part: This is the first copy taken from the original which appears at page 167.

Many Out=Of-State Cars
 Pass Through City for Yale-Harvard Game

The influx of Yale-Harvard game auto traffic to-day found police ready to handle the situation, with the heaviest traffic flow expected from noon till the middle of the afternoon, and from end of game time until early tonight Extra policemen were on duty along South Main street, on East Main street, and on. Hamilton avenue, approach to the new Waterbury New Haven highway through Cheshire.
 Many pre-gaine festivities were held in and near Waterbury last night, this city being selected by many because of it's close proximi- ty to the scene of the classic. Hotels reported that many plan- ming to attend the game to-day stayed in this city over night.
 Tonight after the game, parties and dinner dances will be in order at many places in Waterbury and surrounding towns, as the after noon's rivals get together in an atmosphere of friendiiness.
 Tho early flow Of traffic for the game was notably lighter than it has been in recent years, partly be- cause . record-slzc crowd is not expected and partly because tho opening Of the new road through Prospect has lightaned the traffic burdens Of the other main roads 10 New Haven. approached from East Main street and South Main street.

A, shadow fell across the wall in front of him and John Gresham looked up. The. man who'd just moved into the white house up the lane was coming up the walk. A neighborly first call. Gresham thought. He got to his feet. lay ing the trowel beside. the rosebush he had been working oh. N.
 The man came on deliberately, with an air of decision. There was something familiar about him but Gresham couldn't place him. He experienced the elative thrill that is sometimes the precursor of rec ognition. Gs

 The man had stopped two or three paces away. He asked the question softly as if he disliked to disturb the quiet. of the late morning. He stared with peculiar fixed intensity.
