He is greatly puzzled over the
reticence of some of the realtors
as to how they will make the trip,
and he needs to know because the
railroad company must arrange
accommodations.
Without mentioning any Names,
Mr.. Donohoe'S assistants on rhe
committee say that several real
tors will assay the trip by motor
and still larger number viii
travel by rail.
There still remain quite a few
who have declared they will be
there when the session starts
Fbut they steadfast1y refrain from
revealing the transportation they
will use.
Certainly, say the real estate
wise crackers, these latter gentle
men could not travel by airplane
due to the expenSe-and it is
hardly likely that they could
even travel by train. So it is
suggested that they are prepar-
ing to do a little modest hitch
hiking.

Chairman Morton Luchs was
too busy with a Chevy Chase de-

SO President A. C. Houghton pre-.

It was the consensus of the
group that business is as good as
could be expected and it didn't
take them very long to reach the
conclusion.

back from the bankers convention

Smithy's well-oiled organization
ran smoothly in his absence. and
he returned to find things hum

He reports-as do other realtors
who engage largely in property
management-that rentals are ap-
proximating the 100 per cent mark
these days, but the situation as
regards housing has not quite
reached the acute stage.
Which all goes to show that

it Is the law of supply and demand

II don't want strike. Who
ever wants a strike, all right
let them strike. But my huS-
band wants to wOrk-not
strike"
Mrs. Stella Glass, steel work
er's wife, uttered these words to-
day with sort of a desperate
finality as she sat on the back
porch of her little home in the
steel town" of Campbell, for
merly East Youngstown.
She wore a lowered wrapper
which she had made herself out
OF goods she had bought for 20
cents yard.
20 Years in Mills
By her side sat her hard
working husband, Frank Glass, a
bald-headed little man of about
SO, with no eyebrows and the
little finger missing from his left
hand. This man has been a
steel worker for the past % years.
He shook his head in agreement
when his wife declared:
I'VE want no strike. WHY,
things are just beginning to
get good. Up to a few months
ago my husband couldn't get
hardly anything to do. He'd
work a day or two a week and
was glad to get it. Some weeks
he'd get nothing to do.
"But now he's working five
and six days a week and we're
paying off old bilIs-the gro
Gerry bill, and that bill when he
was laid up for q month in the
hospital with his appendicitis
operation.
"Why do they have to talk
strike now when things are
gOOd?"
There was something brave
about this woman who came over
from Poland and married her man
ID years ago as she earnestly ex-
planned that all she and her hus-
band wanted was to just keep 60
ing, keep paying off their home
and to take care Of their two chill
.dren-1rene, II, and Stella, S. It
costs a lot to dress Stella and keep
her in school.
Times Good Now
A contented expression spread
over Mrs. Glass round face and
her brown eyes frightened as she
discussed economies:
Back in 1929, when times
were good, my husband was get
ting So cents an hour as a die
setter. That's was $3.50 a day
for 1O-hOur day. Usually work.
ing four days a week he'd bring
home $22.6O a week, or there.
abOutS.
But now, things are even
better. Franks a pipe cutter
now. He averages about SIS a
week, sometimes better. You
see, times are so good he's work
ing six days a week. He gets
paid every two weeks and brings
home $50 and $780,"
It costs about $12 to SIS to run
the house" each week, not count
ing clothes. How many suits of
clothes does her husband buy a
year? She laughed and said:
Some years, one suit. We're
not sports"
AS for herself, she makes all
her own clothes, and her chill
dren's clothes. She tries to "save
a little" No, they have no money
in the bank. She enjoys making
clothes and she puts up" peaches,
apricots and other goodies for her
husband and children. From the
back porch, Mr.. and Mrs. Glass
could see the smoke belching from
a score of chimneys at the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube
plants just across the railroad
tracks. The housewife seemed to
appreciate that as something i'm
portant. Watching the smoke 81

While the storm tore through
the city yesterday in its mad
cap folly, leaving the trees
glistening with raindrops, I was
down by the Lincoln Memorial.
1t certainly was glorious sight.
Dark storm clouds, driving rain,

CHAPLIN STREET:
In an apartment not far from
downtown there are two unfur-
nished rooms which can be
rented reasonably. Whoever
rents the room S ~ll have
kitchen privileges and also the
use of the side porch. This
apartment is bright and airy
and the rental of $500 includes
gas, electricity and heat. 1t will
make very comfortable home.

Interior Department employees
who wish to have an extra hour
of sleep in the morning, here's
the answer to that problem .
an apartment of one room,
kitchen, dinette, bath and sun
porch is offered at a very rea-
sonable rental. You would like
the kitchen; it was done in
pale green, even to the new
stove and clever little cupboards
dividing the dinette. A Murphy
bed in a large dressing closet
was a special feature and the
bath was large and had a full
size window in it. This location
can't be beat, for it is in the
heart of the city, within walking
distance of almost anywhere.
The building offers hotel service
and switchboard and elevator
service. The rental asked is
$3.50.

attractive house. The gracious
owner has a clever little room
in the basement of her house
with private bath and shower,
which could be used as a studio,
or, perhaps, some one who
wishes to have a quiet room
where they could study or write.
The rental is more than reason
able as they are asking only SIS

would make a delightful, as we'll
as unusual, home for someone.

CONNECTICUT AVENUE:
Here's an extremely nice one
=. first it is situated on Con-
necticut Avenue which is an
ideal location; second it is beau
tifully and sensibly furnished:
third it is very reasonable, so
there is little left to say; how
ever, it is composed of two
rooms, pullman kitchen and

studio couch which can be made

1900 BLOCK OF
ONTARIO ROAD:
Keeping the building in the
best possible condition at all
times and doing everything for
the comfort and convenience OF
it's tenants is just one OF the
reasons why this apartment
building in the 1900 block of On
tario Road is one of the most
popular in the city and seldom
has a vacancy. This building,
which is modern and up-to-date
in every respect is located near
Rock Greek Park and is conven-
lent to the car lines serving this
section of the city. The apart
ment consists of two bedrooms,
living room, dinette, kitchen and
bath. The kitchen is equipped
with one of the new model
ranges and electric refrigeration
is on the house current. For a
family with children this place
is ideal as there is plenty OF out.

goes against Perry in the semi finals.
Playing on the center court before
packed galleries and under a blazing
sun, Shields rallied after being down
two sets TO blast the firing Austin OF

final round.
The news came from the nearby
No. l court that Lott had bowed TO
Perry, leader Of the English cup team,
while Shields and Austin were playing
their fourth set, and Shields gave his
slender rival no mercy as he drove
over his fast service and rushed to
the net behind it to smash out win

courageous duel and but for a bad

exhausted by his efforts, he was unable
to put over the finishing game and
fioun6ered helplessly around the courts

After reaching SIS in the third

what appeared from the stand to be

his service at love. He then made
little effort to carry the argument
