-HE Tennessee Valley Authority, which
IS in charge of the development of
the power and other resources OF
the Tennessee Valley since the
passing of the famous Muscle Shoals
DILL, is giving the meek householder
one of his first breaks in history.
Whether the average man tries to build
house for himself, whether he mortgages his
future to buy already built. whether he
rents a place in which to live, he is at the
mercy Of architects and contractors and his
own inability to demand the kind OF house
he would like to have
Seldom does the average housewife have the
opportunity that came to one woman whose
husband suddenly came into enough money to
build q house according to her plans For
years she had lived with her five children in
tiny house lacking closets and an attic; every
thing the family had had been stored in trunks
and boxes that were always under foot. When
the new house was built she doegedly insisted
on having the whole side Of one large room
filled with drawers shallow as those IN an
architects Office.
I'm never again going to have 70 lift even
one single tabieclotn to f1nd another, she said
grimly.
The Tennessee Valley Authority appreciates
how that woman felt In building the town
of Norris, where the workers on the great
Clinch Greek Dam and its allied businesses
going to live it has gone to the future
inhabitants themselves to find out what kind
of houses are needed to satisfy their needs and
desires.
DEOPLE down there are going to live In
I the kind of houses that they want, strange
as it may seem.
When Congress created the Authority 1t
gave it a mandate to plan for the future we'll

resources.
The dam is the first large enterprise 10 be
undertaken.
When any Iarge-scaled project is under con-
struction one of the first problems of those in
employees to live. The usual solution is the
running up OF q series of unpainted barracks
and Shacks.
While construction is in progress spectators
are buying up all adjacent land and putting
up jerry-built houses to catch the people who
are pouring in to run the finished project and
allied Developments These people have TO find
places to live, and they have to take what they
can get-at prices that have been made Is
high as the traffic will bear
After the town s in existence for q while
every taxpayer and resident reaches q realiSa-

HOUND
SAFE At HOME

The power of the press is greater
than the perfidy of man and thanks
to that fact Glngginggoofus' is safe
and sound again." said Fred Nebel-
Thau, exalted ruler of the Elks, in
announcing today that that which
was lost had been found and great
was the JOY and jubilation in the
camp of the antlered herd.
That is, all are happy except the
culprit who shanghaied 'Gingging-
goofus' and caused all this conster-
nation and conversation" con-
tinued the exalted ruler.
Our suspicious were correct and
the Elks' joy is slightly tainted by
the fact that one of their number
must bear the brand of 'dognaper.
THE Press was hardly on the
street last nigtt with the article
about Gingginggoofus, accompanied
by his picture, when gumshoed and
disguised Elks took up the trail and
followed it to the home of Judge
Lee Nuffer where it was found that
his eldest son had a stranglehold
on Gingginggoofus.' The dog was
pried loose just as the judge came
up whistling and calling the Eound.
Seeing that his nefarious work
had at last been uncovered, he
quaked like the aspen tree in the
wind, paled as does the flapper
when she powders her face, hung
his head and dug his toe into the
ground as he confessed that he
alone pilfered the purp.
81 cannot tell a lie, I'm Just like
George Washington he said, May
be I dognap and do a few other
things but I'm an honest man when
it comes to the truth, tie whole
truth and nothing but the truth.
Take your purp and I'll take the
consequences.
The consequences, according to
the exalted ruler, came last night
at the lodge meeting when the
judge, instead Of being behind tie
bar (of justice) was before it and
was fined for his dastardly deed.
"'Gingginggoofus' will be at the
Elks charity ball tomorrow night,
in Veterans Memorial hail." the ex-
alted ruler said, land all is well
once more with the Elks."
That's his story Authentic ru-
NOR states there is to be a knock
down and drag-out scrap at the
Elks over division of that one thou
sand bucks reward which the ex-
alted ruler SO gayly promised yester-
day.
Asked about that, Mr.. Nebel-Thau
merely said, II must have been mis-

20. W.P) = Out of sight of land for
the first time since he boarded tie
Exilona at Smyrna. Samuel insult,
returning to the United States to
face prosecution on fraud charges,
proved himself a good sailor today.
The Mediterranean was choppy,
as the ship steamed along the north
African coast, but insult ate heartily
and maintained his good spirits.
He still was wearing pajamas and
slippers today, because, for fear Of
escape, he has been denied laces
for lis shoes.
After a walk on deck this morn
ing he began reading the book "The
House of Morgan" but he soon dis
carded it with the comment:
