statement. But with our long expe-
rience In the building and loan field
where many man with an average
family has been able to own a $2,500
house on a salary Of $1,000 to $1,000
a year, paying for it by installments,
we see every reason why the building
of new houses should be directed
toward the market of the lower
income groups which can pay for the
houses and are ambitious to live In
more modern places than their present
ones. Then, as the Housing Com
mittee's report suggests, the older and
less modernly- equipped quarters which
these families vacate can be used to
house the former slum- jewellers, with
the aid of the local relief money.
Geography Vital Factor.
"We stress the local angle Of the
suggested rental subsidy because we
hold it fundamental fallacy to as
sumo that since family with less
than $1,000 a year income "a New
York City may not be able to afford
a decent place to live. a family with
the same kind of income in a fourth
class city in some other section is in
the same need. 1t is indeed time
that the thinking along the lines of
new residential building and slum
abolition be governed by knowledge
of the conditions all over the coun-
try rather than in handful of con-
gested areas.
THE differences in the cost of
building the same kind of home vary
so greatly from town to town that it
is indeed difficult to set any minimum
nationally upon the income family
must have in order to live decentiy
without some means of help on the
budget. The Federal Home Loan
Bank Board during the past two
months has put out studies on the

Well, lads and lasSies, our par

concerned with a grand opening.
1t marks the debut of Washing
tons winter night club season, if
you'll permit, and should form
one of the years outstanding en-
tertainment evenings.
We refer you, of course, to the
opening tomorrow night of the
Carlton Hotels new supper dance
room, Ell Patio. Doors swing wide
at 10 p. m, and the gentleman
and milady will be greeted by the
image of typical Mexican patio.
The romance and loveliness Of old
Spain reflects in the starlit cell

plete the picture attired in Mexi-

Attendance will be limited to

transmission-the idea being to
insure complete congeniality in a
cosmopolitan gathering.
Sande Williams orchestra, late

pleasing tenor soloist.
And, midst our loudest blaring
Of trumpets, let us not forget a
highlight of festivities at the Carl

will headline bar activities, and
patrons are asked to sample them.

F. c. Lynch, 6 feet inches in

was in the limelight. He played
in the backfield for a while, and
once he got under way he ran

Perhaps they'll teach that young

Bill Ingram, son of Capt. Jonas
Ingram, is out this year again.
A hard luck kid is young Ingram,
but he packs a lot Of football
under his jersey. Last year he
was injured and was neld out Of
action for many days that should
have added minutes to his play

Whiteside Prospect
G. A. Whiteside, a red-headed
kid who pulls a potent blade in
Navy's crews, is another good
looking candidate for honors. He
is a lineman, and we watched him
toss in many hefty block in the
course of the afternoon.
J. S. Schmidt, one of the slick.
est backs Navy has had in long
time, is back in full stride. Funny
thing about Schmidt. He has mas
tered the knack Of picking up
ground after he is hit. That's
what added to the value of Tuffy

Antrim, whose play last year
won frequent notice from critics,
was an active runner. He smacked
the blocking bags with might and
main and called for more than
the usual comment by the coaches
=. Rankin, Ferrara, Sloan and
Morrell were hard workers.
The attack of Navy as worked
out at this time will include all
the elements of modern football.
Naturally your agent can disclose
nothing that developed along these
lines. It may be said that the
open game of Navy bids fair to
be thrilling. The boys handle that
ball the way a major league ball
clubs handles a baseball, but the
color and verve of this game adds
ever so much more to the occa-
sion.
Right now Navy hopes to get
by the first couple of games in
which they will show as little as
possible. But for the game with
Yale they are prepared to shoot
the works. and they will shoot
the works. The Bulldog has not
been down here in 35 years or
thereabouts. BY the time these
teams take the field they will be
in good condition, with a well
rounded attack, and a defensive
system well plotted.

one day Groves suggested to Gal
lagher they'd better sign a con-
tract, the better to get out-of-town
fights under commissions who in
sisted fighters and managers pro-
duce signed agreements Of their

Marty couldn't see a contract
with Groves and this affiliation
went on the rocks, like so many
previous fighter-manager unions to
which Gallagher had been part.
McNamara Steps In
Jim Mcnamara, former George

director of the Jewish Community
Center, then popped into the pic

Gallagher's ring affairs. To Jim's
everlasting credit, he taught Marty
how to come out fighting and keep
fighting.

auspicious start with his new
charge, Marty dropping 1O-round

Mcnamara thought he detected
some vulnerable spots in Galento,
and he also observed some i'm
provementS that Marty might ef-

of Gallagher's adherentS, Marty
was rematched with Galento. This
time for IS rounds.
McNamara's logic was correct.

bloody battle in the second Ga

Johnny Carvelas, who was a tile
settlers assistant. Dick Arnold was
an elevator boy in the new House
Office Building.
Two lads were bouncers In
local restaurants. They were Leo
KatalinaS and Wayne Ambrose,
the latter a younger brother of
a former c. U. grid captain.
Speck Foley worked in the Dis
trict Surveyors office. A few of
the lads prevailed upon Bill Carr,
custodian OF the campus grounds,
for summer jobs. These players
were Max Brinkman and Sully
Greco.
AnthOnavage Life Guard
Joe Anthonavage was a life

Open Drills

By GARRETT WATERS


A letter from Herman Littman,
Of the coaching staff at Roose-
Velt High School, is interesting
today. He informs that he'll be
in town in person next Monday
to direct early football activities
at Roosevelt and will continue
coaching the Rough Riders until
Lyn Woodworth, head mentor,
returns from Europe.
Writes Littman-
Gust a line to say hello
and to inform you the Rose
welt football squad will be
called out for training on Mon
day, September IA, at 10 a. m.
The boys are to report in regu.
lar gymnasium suits and will
meet each morning at the same
hour"
The opening Of activities for
the Rough Riders will complete
the early training business for
the five local high school eleVens.
Tech, Central Set Pace
Tech and Central set the pace
by beginning last week. Eastern
and western took up the cry yes
terday with initial drills. And
now Roosevelt's scheduled opener.
The Eastern, Western sessions
yesterday were only of the eleI.
mentary type. Coaches Artle
Boyd and Dan Ahern spent the
best part of the day counting
noses and getting a line on the
experience, if any, of new candl-
dates.
Eastern's biggest problem this
fall will be it's line. The Parkers
have a well-balanced backfield
crew, including Russ Kendrick,
AL Kidwell, Roy Michael and
Charlie Digulian. But only ape
Cohen is a holdover from the
1885 forward wall.
Must Build Backfield
Western must develop both its
backfield and line. A fair nucleus
is on hand in the persons OF Nor
ris Snead and Blacky Brewer,
backs. and Bucky Morse and Cliff
Oliphant, linemen. The remainder
of the squad is composed OF jun
ior high youngsters whom Coach
Ahern hopes to develop before
the interhigh series commences.
Nothing new in the report from
the Tech and Central camps. Both
squads are being speeded in their
drills after a full week Of elemen-
tary work, and it should not be
long before the bump and push
of ScrimmageS are heard.

,LANDON IN LAST REPORT

e
AS the 1886 presidential campaign
sweeps into the home-stretch, Frank
lin D. Roosevelt has substantially
increased his lead over Alfred M.
Landon in the latest complete ma
tionwide poll of the Institute OF
Public Opinion which was published
in the daily newspapers last Sunday.
In the dramatic two-week up
swing which pulled four states out
of the Republican column, the Pres
ident's popular majority has climbed
to 81 per cent of the major vote-a
gain of nearly one pint since the last
complete poll October 4.
The new reading of the national
political barometer gives Roosevelt
800 electoral votes, gain of "a in
two weeks, against 141 for Governor
Landon. It takes 266 to elect. The
84-vote gain came from New York,
New Jersey. Indiana and Nebraska,
which switched sides to join the
Roosevelt column.
Clearly, if election were held to-
morrow, Roosevelt would win. But

Chairman Urges
Party to Work Hard
Says a Lot Of Republican Money
Coming From Somewhere;
Plans Speaking Over NC.

RALEIGH, Oct. 2O.-There will be
around 1000 Democratic speeches
made in North Carolina on the night
of Thursday, October %, according
to plans of the State Democratic
headquarters.
The night has been designated as
Precinct Speaking Night. and eve
ry county chairman has been asked
to provide a good speaker for the
voters of every precinct. In the rural
sections each precinct will have its
own speaker while in the cities and
towns, where the precincts are small
in area, there will be a Democratic
meeting in easy reach of every vot-
er, whether the meeting be held in
his precinct or not.
Reports from every county of the
state indicate that at least 43 of the
100 counties the Democratic vote
will be greater than it was in 1882,
the banner year of Democracy in
North Carolina. On the other hand,
the surveys show that unless great
deal of work is done during the
last two weeks the vote in 81 coun-
ties will be less than in 1882. The
situation in the remaining So coun-
ties caused observers to forecast a
vote about equal to that of four
years ago.
If these surveys are reports prove
accurate, the total Democratic vote
S.sould 60 above the half million
mark. However, Chairman Winborne
pointed out that this year the Re-
publicans as well as the Democrats
are doing more work than usual.
"And there is an awful lot of Re-
publican money from somewhere
being turned loose in the State" he
added. "It is of the utmost import
ance that we keep driving ahead un-
til shutdown November 8"
