A chest injury suffered by Bill
Tackett as the result of a motor
crash two years ago will prevent the
valley fight referee from taking on
Pete Buzukos in the feature wrest-
ling bout announced on the program

under any condition take on this

ious complications. For this reason,
and this alone, Bill is forced to turn
down the invitation.

NO" Owen said, the law of sup

MODERNIZING IN OLD

Association Can Curb Rush

CHICAGO, January 13-Placing a
conservative estimate of $500 each on
the modernization and repairs which
some 100000 American homes need to-
day. Philip Lieber of Shreveport. La,
president of the United States Build
ing and Loan League. champions the
cause of home moderniZation in an
article in the current issue of American
Building Association News.
"A carefully thought-out campaign
in each community under which the
majority of houses in any certain 10
acre tract, may be improved through
modernization, can result in such sec
ton being re-made into practically a
new subdivision retaining the home
owners therein" the article states
Thus we could prevent in large
measure the overwhelming competition
of new outlying subdivisions which lure
with super modernistic and futuristic
home types. Why not put these touches
in the old homes to which sentiment
has added a real value?
"A wonderful opportunity presents
itself to the building and loan aSso-
Citations of this country to take the
lead in a repairs and modernization
campaign to be extended all over the
country with the immediate object of
employment in the building crafts
Associations which are members ofSthe

Expenditures for building for the

LIGHT is NECESSITY
FOR HOUSE PLANTS
Horticulturist Advises Caution in
Selection to Save Dis
appointment.

Sufficient light and moisture in the
air are essential to health and growth
of the average house plant, according
to Walter r. Ballard, horticulturist for
the University of Maryland Extension
Service, who points out that few people
realize the importance of these two
factors in development of plant life.
Only through sunlight and the way it
acts upon the green coloring matter in
the leaves is the plant able to manufac-
ture sugars starches and other chemi-
cal compounds from the water and
chemical salts taken up by the roots
and the carbon dioxide absorbed from
the air he states.
Plants, according to Ballard, vary
greatly in their ability to function with
limited supplies of light This fact
should be taken into consideration when
selecting house plant for the Winter
months, as the days are much shorter
at this time of the year and the inten-
sity of light, correspondingly less. Fol
this reason, while ferns and begonias
can get along with a minimum supply
of light. it is explained that the gera-
mum should have all the light it is
possible TO give it and even then the
plants should be kept more or less pot
bound to secure satisfactory bloom.

McKeoWn's bill was not designed

in a refinancing arrangement, he can
not forecloSe unless a court order Is
issued. On the other hand, the dis

given recourse to the courts to obtain

after bonds have been refused.
