on his shoulder, walk to the wagon
and toss it in. Immediately behind hin!
came Magda, an ola on her head and
a half-flled sack in her hand. She
also placed her load in the wagon and
returned to the barn. By the time Don
Francisco emerged with two chairs
and an armful of smaller things, Ruth
was we'll on her way.
"Why are you putting your things
in the wagon?" she called to Alfredo
who came out of the barn carrying a
copper tub as she approached.
The young man placed the .ub n
the wagon, regarded Ruth with i
shrug and remained silent, his fingers
smoothing his 1nustache.
Snavely was standing just inside $he
door.
what did you say to .hem?' d.
manded Ruth.
"Well, I fred them, that's what I
did! Do you think I'm goin' 70 have
a lyin', undependable bunch OF rash
like that on this place? They tell me
they won't work an are hxin' Q
leave; then you come down here an
they let on they will work-what can
you do with people like that?"
Ruth did not reply, but she went 70
Magda and taking her arm pointed 70
the ranch house. Come, Magda."
The Mexican girls eyes questioned
her. Ruth smiled and led Magda To-
ward the house. The three men $ol-
lowed.
At the kitchen door, Ruth turned
and addressed Snavely. "You men will
have to stay out here" she smiled
81 want to talk to Magda with Ann S
help-it's going to be purely iemi-
nine conversation. Excuse us, please.
Snavely took a step forward, then
stopped.
"Ann," said Ruth when she had led
Magda into the kitchen, task her is Il
not true that she loves Alfredo. Don't
embarrass her-1nake it just between
us girls"
But Magda was very mitch embar-
rassed. She drew her mantilla about
her face and twisted one foot. But
she nodded.
"Goodl Now, Ann, you tell her that
if she and her people stay and are
good workmen, that I'll help her and
Alfredo build little house, and that
I'll give them ten acres of land which
is not included in the partnership but
is part of some that I own. Tell her
that she and Alfredo and her father
can have this land forever. And tell
her that they are working for me, not
sor. Mr.. Snayely."
Magda was trahsfxed with joy and
embarrassment when Ann ceased to
speak. The girl took an uncertain
step toward Ruth. Suddenly, she curt
sled almost to the floor and kissed her
hand, as though she were great
queen.
WELL" said Ann, 81 CANT tell you
what she said cause l doan know III
fancy words in English-anyhow she
thinks you're powerful good, But she
says she CANT tell Alfredo nothin'

Several reasons have been ad-
vanced for the diminution In the

were alarmed as result OF o
series of sensational hold-ups at

ASKS FEDERAL AID
FOR HOME REPAIRS
E. L. Gilbert Urges Billion
Dollar Fund for Resi-.
denceS.

Ninety per cent of the residential
properties in the United States today
need minor or major repairs, altera-
tions or modernization, according to
E. L. Gilbert of the American Builder,
who urges "a billion dollars in Fed
eral mortgage money for self -hquidat-
ing loans on residential property"
5 Calling attention to the fact that
property depreciates at the rate of 2
per cent per annum, Mr.. Gilbert il
lustrates his plea for modernization
with charts of work needed" and
work done" Homes that have stood
for years without a protective coating
OF paint or needed repair work de-
preciate even more rapidly, 1t is point
ed out. Because of inactivity during
l930-3l-32, Mr.. Gilbert sees a need
for nearly 13 billions of work in the
residential field. At least half of this
great need for housing must fall with
In the classification of modernization
and home repairs
Private capital, Mr.. Gilbert believes,
will be heartened If Federal funds
are made available to home owners
and prospective home owners for mod
ern1zation, home repairs and new
home building. A leader is always re-
quired during uncertain times and
there Is no more effective and infiu-
ent1al leadership than can be fur
nished by the Government of the
United States"
II Congress does direct such action,
Mr.. Gilbert sees far-reaching benefits
"in the prompt decline in applications
for relief by building mechanics, in
the certain improvement of local
trade, in the stimulation Of capital
goods industries. Every dollar of
money so expended will be in the form
OF self-liquidating loan on the finest
security any government might wish
the homes of its citizens"

SURVEY REVEALS
JUMP IN BUILDING
Indiana Limestone Corpora
tion Reports $226, 6,139, ,536
Increase in January.

CHICAGO, February II. - New
building construction in America for
the first month Of this year amounted
to s226,139,536, according to a survey
today by the Indiana Limestone
Corporation.
This compares with S90,858, Gao for
January, 1888, and with S507. 1854, 900
for January, 1926, the year the ad-
min1stration uses as rejecting q nor
NAL commodity price level.
The building construction industry
has begun the year with somewhat
better feeling" said President A. z.
Dickinson.
There is a definite dependence on
the stimulus Of Federal aid, however.
The effect of public construction ef-
forts has been slow in gaining mo-
mentum. The Governments building
construction program, as distinguished
from the public works program, has
not gone forward as originally entic-
ipated and SO has not increased en-
ployment as hoped in the building
construction industry.
Signs of renewed activity in home
pu1lo1ng are present in some sections
of the country. A residential shortage
has assumed important proportions in
the Southwest.
Taking the country by sections,
building permits in January in the
Chicago district showed the largest
dollar volume since 1881, despite resi-
Dental construction here being under
normal requirements.
Building operations in New York
are restricted. In New England con-
tracts are running well ahead Of the
last two years, although red tape is
reported holding up many Govern
ment projects.
Building construction contracts in
the Cleveland section last month were
eight times as large as in the same
period in 1898. Some recession is
noted in the Northwest, while on the
Pacific Coast improvement Is shown.
In the Atlanta area, construction
activity Is the heaviest of any like
period in the last three years. Other
parts of the South, with Dallas as the
pivotal point, report considerable in
crease in activity. especially in the
largest cities"
