Four Rooms for S2,00O Planned
 in FILA Booklet

WASHINGTON, June 16.-In the Federal Housing Administration S Technical Bulletin No 4, on Prin- ciples of Planning Small Homes, House B, with four rooms, repre- sents one step above the minimum in accommodations consistent with decent living. It has one more room than House A, which represents about the minimum. It can be built at a cost ranging between $1,650 and $2,000, according to estimates of the Housing Administration, de- pending upon conditions in the la bor and material markets in a given locality.
 Using the ordinary methods of construction, a four room house is about the largest that can be eco nomically built on one floor. This is particularly true when a cellar is to be installed.

ILL LUCK HITS
 RHODE PARTY ON INTERIOR TRIP

Similar to the misfortune which followed many a gold rusher over the trail of '98, the Rhode party which left here recently for a trip down the Yukon also has met with ill-luck, so bad that it may delay their expedition this summer.
 All the duffle of the Rhode party, which included c. J. Rhode, father of Clarence Rhode, Deputy Game Warden, Gene Rhode, his brother, and Cecil Rhode, his cousin, was burned up, including their guns and ammunition, according to a message to Warden Rhode today from DaW- son The accident happened at Sel- kirk when the party was camped for the night. A spark from their fire ignited their baggage when they were asleep and destroyed the en- tire lot, with loss of about $35O, they reported All they saved was their boat with which they proceed ed to Dawson.
 The party had made camp and removed their baggage under cliff. Then they had climbed up over the embankment distance of about 20 or 30 feet to sleep. They awoke to find themselves with only a boat.
 It was a tough-luck journey from the start. At Lake LeBarge, last month, the party was caught in the ice and held up for eight and a half days, They had believed the ice strong enough to cross and broken through with sled they had made and were forced to stay on their conveyance until the ice pushed them into the river.

CAPTAIN LANE GOES TO NOME
 FROM JUNEAU
Famous Whaler and Trader Visits Here Briefly
 After 10 Years

Capt. L. L. Gouie) Lane. accom- panied by his son, Allen K. Lane arrived on the Yukon, and left Jul neau for Faitbauks, enroute to Nome, aboard the PA Lockheed Electra plane this afternoon.
 Capt. Lane, famous whaling skip per and trader along the Arctic coast of Alaska and Siberia, is re- visiting Alaska for the first time since he commanded the auxiliary schooner Nanuk, used by the MGNl motion picture company to provide local color for a film depicting old time whaling operations in the Arc tic regions three years ago
 Capt. Lane is enroute to Nome to "straighten out" the affairs of the Big Hurrah mine in that dis trict, which has not been worked since 1907 as result of legal diff tulties. The mine is at present owned by the Lane Investment Com pany, Capt. Lanes parents estate. The mine is a large-scale quartz operation and contains high-grade ore, Capt. Lane I.id. It Mas been worked to depth of 265 feet.
 Neio Equipment
 Old, useless equipment, which has been in the mine since it was last worked, nearly 20 years ago, will be replaced with new modern equip ment, Capt Lane said. The mine has been allowed to fill with water, he reported, but pumping it out will be a simple operation.
 Capt. Lane expects to return to the States within a few weeks, leav- ing his son, Allen K. Lane, in charge of operations at the mine.
 First Trip Here
 His first trip to Juneau, Capt. Lane said, was in 1891, when he came here to visit a friend of his father who was engaged in mining in Silver Bow Basin. He was in command of the steamer Buford, carrying a tour party from the States which visited Southeast AL aska enroute to Nome and the Arc tic ocean about 10 years ago. His son Allen has accompanied him on most of his trips in recent years and was with him on the Nanuk.
 Capt. Lane has been for the last seven years Bar Pilot" at San Francisco. All registered ships en- tering San Francisco Bay are re- quired to take a pilot aboard out side the bar, he explained He pulled his shingle" and took a leave of absence from his duties as pilot at San Francisco to make the pres ent trip to Nome.

"DONT'S" FOR WRITERS

Most advice to writer's consists of
long lists of "don'ts." And if you ask us,
If we were really giving advice we would
embody it in one big don't" It would
be: Don't pay too much attention to lists
of "don'ts."
Obviously, writer should have a
working knowledge of the language, in
Guiding familiarity with the rules of SYM
tax, and at least nOdding acquaintance
with rhetoric, and some other phases of
the phrase-making art, the names of which
have for the moment escaped us.
The beginner should stick rather
closely to the rules, at least until he learns
how to break them effectively. Adher-
ence 10 severe style is safe course until
one really has something to say. Then, if
ever such thing happens, it is a good idea
to say it in the most direct and forceful
manner possible even though rule or two
gets smashed in the process.
On the other hand, rules should not
be broken merely for the sake of hearing
their bones crack If the thought can be
conveyed attractively and effectively by a
strict observance of all the, niceties, well
and good. But some writer's appear to be
more concerned with displaying their
knowledge of the rules than they are with
expressing the alleged idea they have in
mind. Consequently their productions
have about as much animation and warmth
as the text of chattel mortgage.
Language is primarily designed for
the expression Of thought, or the conceal
ment thereof In either case, rules are
means and not the end. The important
thing is to make plain what you are driv-
ing at, as we'll as that at which you are
driving.

is A POTATO A NUT?

Sir Hari Singh, the maharajah of
Kashmir, although conforming for policy's
sake to many of his native Hindu customs,
appears to be not only intolerant of much
of the superstition of India, but to have a
keen and practical sense of humor.
A writer tells of Sir Harris fast, per-
formed in Difference to Hindu custom,
after the death of his uncle and predeces-
sor. His fast was in connection with the
prescribed period of 13 days of mourning
and penitence, which required that each
evening he should walk barefoot to the
funeral pyre of his uncle and there sleep
on the ground. No food was to be taken
except nuts, eaten only after sunset or be-
fore sunrise.
After a few days on this scanty and
monotonous diet Sir Hari became des-
perate. Then he had an inspiration. Call
ing council of priests, he asked if the
potato was not a nut. The priests, being
diplomatic in their consideration of the
suggestion of the new ruler, after some
hesitation and grave deliberation solemn
ly decided that the potato was really a
nut So potatoes and sweet potatoes were
\ added to the maharajah's diet during the
temainder of the EAST
w The maharajah is some potatoes" in
his own country, but he is far from being
nut"
