BEVERLY HILLS, NOV. 20.
(SpeciaD - Well, sir, here is
something I would like to see all
your cities and towns do. The
L A. Bar association put on a
pageant called 1.-The Making OF
the Constitution. (They say it
was originated in Kansas City9
Well, it IS a great thing. 1t shows
Benjamin Franklin, washington,
Madison, Hamilton and all those
old "Rope Wigs fighting dur
ing the making of our constitu-
ton. Young as we'll as the old
will profit by it and really enjoy
it.
Write and get your informa-
ton from the L. A. Bar associa-
ton. You can put it on for
some good charity or free ad-
mission. I am not press agent
for any bar association. I just
saw it and thought it was great
and it's a great thing to do at
this time.
1t IS not expensive to put on.
just the renting of the costumes
is all. Do this and you will
thank me some day.
Yours,

BETTER HOUSING
DRIVES SPREADING
Campaigns Are Being Or
ganized in 1000 Communi.
ties of Country.

Better housing campaigns are be-
ing organized by local committees
In nearly 1000 communities Of the
United States under sponsorship of
the Federal Housing Administration,
according to the latest information
from the Field Division of the r. H. A.
Rapidity with which these COM
mittees have been formed and have
started work has surprised and de-
lighted p. H. A. oficials, who attribute
this immediate response to the keen
interest Of communities In practically
every section Of the country in the
modernization program. This program
Is the first phase of the r. H. A. ef-
forts to rebuild America and to put
several million people back to work In
the building and allied industries.
Sssn 10 Be Under Way.
1t Is confidently expected by w. d.
Flanders. director of the Field Divi-
sion of the r. H. A.. which has super
vision Of all the regional and State di-
rectors, that several thousand better
housing campaigns win be under way
within the next few weeks.
Each one of these campaigns is
strictly . local affair under local
leadership and financed by local
funds. p. II. A. officials pointed out
In each instance only the temporary
chairman was appointed by the State
or regional F. H. A. director. From
then on, the local committee is in
full charge. with the F. H. A. director
ready to give advice or aid whenever
called upon, and with the liaison Of
f1cers actively cooperating Campaign
supplies, such as literature, posters
and buttons, are supplied by the Fed
eral Housing Administration.
Reason for Response.
One reason for the instanct re-
sponse to suggestion of q better hous-
ing campaign In 50 maty communi-
ties Is the indisputable fact that it
benefits the community directly by
stimulating all types Of business by
increasing employment. 1t reduces re-
lief expenditures because an entire
family can be taken on the relief
rolls for every building tradesman
put to work. It can improve the
value and appearance of real prop
erty in the community
Another reason is the success which

Is convenient to both bed rooms. Each
bed room has two closets, and there Is
q large linen closet in the hall. Stor-
age Is under the roof and Is reached
by . disappearing stair either IN the
kitchen or the rear hall.
The ideal location fer this house Is
on the west side OF north and south
street. This puts the service portion
to the north and east, giving the
kitchen steady north light during the
day. The living and dining rooms are
south and east, with the large porch
shading them in the hot Summer.
The bed rooms are to the southwest
and northwest, where they will catch
the prevailing southwest breezes Of
the Summer. The lot should be at
least 60 feet wide and practically
level.
Although definitely not "period"
house, it is somewhat reminiscent of
the Colonial cottages. built for COM
fort and not for style, and which
achieved beauty through their SIM
picity. As shown, it is built Of wood,
but could be built of masonry Just as
well, with only q small increase in
cost. The roof should be of wood
shingles for their beauty. Windows
are easements to provide . maximum
Of air circulation in Summer. The
house contains al $50 cubic feet.

are features not generally expected in

consisting of kitchen and boiler room,
are as small as modern usage de-
mands. The basement is eliminated
for economy. The service yard, sep
arated from the rest of the house with
an attractive high-latticework garden

Last EZRA Grant Is / Awarded City To-day
$5l,3 ,363 Allotted for December Expenditures
 Increase inLOcaI Quota Shown

Announcement of the final allot- ment of EZRA funds for the city was received to-day at the office of William M. Harris, local ad- ministrator, with no increase shown.
 The. allocation of $31,363 for EZRA expenditures for Decem Der, concludes the city's portion of a three month allotment announced early in the fall by Miss Eleanor Little, state administrator.
 Although the state quota was increased by $275,00O during the three month period and corres- pohding increases were granted to many co1munities during this time, the allotment for each month here remained approximately the same.
 MT Harris said to-day that 1t would be impossible to predict just what would be done in official circles. He was not prepared to say whether or not there might be an increase in the fund here.
 It is possible, in view of the gov- ernment's announced intention to revise the entire system of FERA relief, that an entirely new pro- gram will be put into effect throughout the country. State and local EZRA officials, in the mean time, are completely in the dark as to plans for the next few Tf1nnthc

POLICE WITNESSES
 IN $25,OOO SUIT
Testify as to Condition of Alleged Defective
 Sidewalk

Several policemen testified for the city of Waterbury in superior court today as trial of the $25,OOC civil action of Dora Deschinc against the city, was resumed be- fore Judge John A. Cornell and a jury. The officers testified they did not see defect in the sidewalk on, Giles street, over which the plaintiff claims she fell last Dec 18th to receive permanent injur- ies.
 The officers who testified are Sergeant Henry Johnson of the detective bureau, Thomas Luddy William Haggerty, Richard Kenny and Domenic Verrastro. All said they traversed the street many times during the time the sidewalk was said to have been marked by depression. Officers Kenny and Verrastro said they live in the vii cinity of Giles street and have tc walk over the sidewalk daily in duty.
 Attorneys Pasquale Decicco and Frank J. Mcdonald appear for the plaintiff. Corporation Counse, Charles S. O'Connor and Claims Attorney Vincent A. Scully repre-. sent the defendant.
 It is possible that the defendants side of the case will be completed by the time court adjourns htis afternoon at o'clock. If that should develop, arguments of counsel, the charge of Judge Cor nell and deliberation of the jury will bring the case to a close to- morrow afternoon.

ALTERATION WORK. HALTED BY POLICE
Safety of Passers-by Im-
 periIed = Question of Permit Raised

Workmen, engaged in altering the four-story building on Canal
 street recently purchased by the
 I. Dibner Co.,, who had dress making esta ablishment in the build ing when 1t was the scene of a disastrous blaze last June. were rudcly halted in their work this
 morning by police. acting on the
 request of the street department.
 The complaint was made that the safety of persons walking along the street was endangered as re- suit of falling bricks and wood,
 and that no permit had been ob- tained to close up any portion of
 Cnaal street to insure the safety of pedestrians.
 The alterat tion work was halted while the city ordinances were studied and it was then found that the owner of the structure had secured a permit from the office of the building inspector but had
 failed to get permit from the street department to close any
 portion of the street near where
 the work was going on. The permit
 was being secured later today and the work was slated to go on as usual.
 Patrolman Patrick McCabe or
 dered the work stopped this morn
 ing after he had received com.
