Strolling down 10th Street

inspected an up-to-date corner
apartment. Available now are
several two-room, kitchen. Aoyer

range from $50 up.
TO SUB-LET 1900
NEWARK STREET:
Out in lovely Cleveland Park
I found an exquisitely furnished
house that is to be sublet for the
summer months. Not just an
ordinary house but a real home
in every sense Of the word. Sur
rounded by beautiful grounds
with a rose garden that will
bloom throughout the summer,
tall shade trees along with spa
cious porches where one can re-
lax after the days toil-tlis

bedrooms, living room, dining

In my tour Of the city in quest
Of interesting houses and apart

numerous listings which I will
be glad to submit for your ap.

EYE STREET
NEAR NORTH CAPITOL:
For all Of the Government
Printing Office employees who
would like to economic by
walking to work this would be
an ideal location. A lovely
front apartment of two rooms,
kitchen and bath, just newly
decorated throughout. Win
dews across the front Of the
apartment give a splendid view
Of the nations capitol and would
assure one Of cooling breezeS. I
am sure that this apartment
would make a very pleasant
home and can be rented for $50
including refrigeration on the
house current.
1000 BLOCK OF s STREET:
Right off Connecticut Avenue
on the corner Of goth and S st.
is a three-story bay front red
brick house and basement. This
house would be ideal of so many
things. When I saw it I thought
how nice it would be for a doc
tors or dentists office where
he could also provide a home
for his family. Nine rooms and
two baths, four of which are
bedrooms would also be ample
space for a large family. This
house could be converted into a
business property If tenant so
desired. The very reasonable
amount Of $500 is asked.

GRAVELY ILL

CALLANDER, Ont, June IA
UN.S0.-Mr Alzire Dionne, 25,
mother Of the 17-day-old quintu-
plet daughters, was still in a seri-
Gus condition today at the Dionne
farm home.
During the night she was rest
less, but the fever that caused
alarm in the Dionne household
yesterday, although still in evil
dence, was somewhat reduced.
MRS. Dionne'S temperature late
yesterday was reported at 101.
DR.. A. r. Dafoe, the country
doctor, who has kept life in the
small bodies Of the five tiny in
fantS, was not overly worried over
Mrs. Dionne's condition. He said
several days Of complete rest
would place the mother back on
the road to recovery.
According to the physician 1t
will probably be at least two
weeks before the young French
Canadian mother will again be
permitted to leave her bed for a

POLANDLOOK|NG
FOR PEACE

Or. Henry Shoskes, economist
and Journalist from Warsaw, who
was in Washington yesterday to
get some sideIghts on the New
Deal, said that the Polish govern
ment is not attending the arma-
ment race but rather is looking
forward to a peaceful settlement OF
international troubles.
Referring to the nonaggress1on
pact, recently negotiated with Ger
many, DR.. ShoSkeS stated:
I'VE believe that Germany Is
sincere In its nOnaggreSSiQn pact
but the scrap Of paper incident
Of 1924 Il still remembered"
Both the government and the
monetary system Of Poland are
stable, the latter being covered by
a 40 per cent gold backing, he
said. Wedged in between Commu-
nistic Russia and Hitlerist Ger
many, the Poles have maintained
q government which is truly Po-
lish, he stated.
There is a Fascist movement in
Poland known as the NARA
National Radicals-but this move
ment, directed against the Pill
sudski government and highly
anti-Semitic, has been practically
stamped out by the government,
the Polish economist said.

With this official notation, po

the torch death of Virginia John,
son, beautiful 22-year-old daugh'
ter of Charles G. johnson, State
treasurer and candidate for gov.
ernor.

Mr.. johnson disputed the police
verdict. He maintained his daugh.
ter had been slain by fiend and
he demanded further investiga.
tion.
Private funeral services were to
be conducted today.
While criminologists and county
officers previously doubted that
the zestful titian-haired Scra,
ment society girl could have in,
flicted on herself the torture of
the CHASTITY pyre, a note and the

templated suicide.
A few hours before the fantastic
suicide, the girl told her sister,

"hear the noise of angels wings
flapping in her head"
Saw Suicide Note
Mrs. Fitzgerald revealed that
she had seen her sister writing a
suicide note just before Virginia
left the johnson home Monday

charred body was found in a pri

DROUTH BRINGS
DOLLAR WHEAT

CHICAGO, May 80 QN.S).
Dollar wheat was a reality again
as the disastrous drought con-
tinued unbroken today in the asst
central States area.
While wheat futures nudged at
the dollar mark on the board of
trade here, May and July wheat
went over the dollar line on the
Minneapolis exchange. In the last
two days the price Of wheat has
risen 6 cents.
Worst In History
It is the worst spring drought
on record, crop experts and Off
cials of the weather bureau here
agree. While the utter lack Of
rainfall has spread destruction
through the wheat belt, oats, hay,
and other feed crops have Jared
even worse under the suns parch-
ing rays.
One remaining hope is the corn
crop of the Middle West. Album
dant rainfall in the months Of
June, July, and August will assure
a good late crop of corn. But
weather forecasters here remained
pessimistic in their predictions Of
summer precipitation.
The absence of rain has reduced
the fertile fields of the Dakotas
and other sections Of the agricul-
tural northwest to vast fields of
dusty desert. Livestock is starving
for want Of pasture.
Hay Crops Withered
The hay crop has withered al
most beyond salvation in most Sec
tionS.
In the II middle western States
stricken by the drought hapless
farmers are looking toward Fed
eral and state relief for susie
nance in the coming months.
The bumper crop of chinch bugs
and grasshoppers induced by the
hot weather is increasing to
alarming proportions, a survey
showed.

SOVIET SEEKS
j HUGE LOAN
FROM U.s..
Moscow Demands Cash as
Price of Willingness to Pay
Debts to America
By KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright. 1884, Universal
Service, Inc.)

Soviet Russia wants the United
States Government to grant 1t a
cash loan running into millions
of dollars as the price for its
willingness to pay up American
debt and damage claims, it was
learned today.
This proposal, on which Mos
cow is insistent, threatens to
cause a complete breakdown Of
the debt negotiations. They now
are virtually at a standstill as a
result of it.
Demand Absurd
This Government has informed
Moscow that it is absurd to ex-
pect the United States to make
cash loan to the Soviet govern
ment at present.
The Soviets have been notified
further that even if this Govern
ment was prepared to grant such
loan, it is highly unlikely Con-
gress would sanction it.
Disclosure of the amount the
Soviets seek was being withheld,
but it was understood to run into
millions of dollars.
In the hope Of effecting a
quick settlement of the debt and
damage claim issue, American
negotiators we're willing to accept
considerably less than half the
damage claims filed, totalling
around $4OO,O0O,000, and also to
slash debts owed this Govern
ment by former Russian regimes
in line with reductions granted
other European nations.
Kerensky Debt Cut
This would effect consider
able reduction in the $187 900, 900
Kerensky debt.
Efforts are still being made
to get Moscow to abandon the
idea of a loan and agree to a
quick settlement of the debt and
damage claim issue, but the fact
the Soviets have held out for it
despite notification it was lab
surd" has led to dwindling hope
of an early settlement.

Fruit Brandy
Industry
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
International News Service
Fruit brandy distillation, .
minor domestic industry before
prohibition, has developed today
into one of the most important
phases Of liquor manufacture,
and is rapidly increasing in out
put.
So far the Federal Alcohol
Control Administration has is
sued $50 permits for brandy dis
tillers. Permits are being issued
every day as the grape brandy
industry in California is de-
veloping rapidly, while there is
a wide gain in the experimental
use Of other fruits for this
product.
Also in California distillers
are conducting important re-
search into the use Of plums,
pears, pineapples and small
fruits for brandy making pur-
poses. Normally in the United
States brandy is produced from
grape, apples, apricots and
peaches. Even the distillation
of these fruits was of little con-
sequence in pre-war days.

ALLEN To SEEK
RELIEF FUND .

That there is no change in the
emergency relief needs of the
District of Columbia was revealed
in the announcement last night

is substantially the amount ex-
pended for the present month.
All relief and welfare officials
will gather at the District Build

Of public welfare. On the follow
