FORT WAYNE. Indiana. Sept. Il
UP) Erection of majestic fl
cure of Christ as Light OF the
World" in the city of Washington
is the purpose Of a national anti
Communistic campa gn begun here
bv the Most Reverend John Francis
Noll. D. D., Bishop of Fort Wayne.
It is the purpose of Bishop Noll
to enlist the cooperation of both
Catholics and Protestants through
out the United States in this drive
which will be brought to climax
in the pulpits of the country Sun
day morning, october 25, the Feast
of Christ the King.
Associated with the Fort Wayne
bishop as members of a national
committee favoring the project
are: Senator Carter Glass, of Vir-
ginia, Senator David I. Walsh, OF
Massachusetts,. Senator William E
Borah of Idaho, Governor Pau
V. McNutt of Indiana, George N
Shuster, Editor of The Common
veal and many archbishops anc
bishops of the United States.
Arrangements are already under
way for the selection of the bes'
available site in the city of Wash
ington. Leading sculptors are
being asked to submit designs foi
a colossal figure of the most ar
tistic type to be had.
During the progress of the cam
paign Bishop Noll's Catholic Ac'
ton weekly is devoting its page
almost exclusively to news ant
editorials dealing with Commu
nism.
In commenting on the purpose o
the national drive, Bishop Mol
said
"It must be evident to all tha
i recent horrors in Spain clearl
show the frightful results OF Com
munistic progress.
American intelligence canno
ignore the fact that our religion
liberties are menaced. our busines
and commercial future jeopardize

CONSTRUCTION
OF NEW HOMES

Because of an unprecedented re-
vival of interest in new home con-
struction, refinancing of old prop
critics and purchase Of single fam
ily dwellings, California building
loan associations will shortly enter
the fourth quarter to wind up their
greatest business year since the
beginning of the depression.
This is manifested by the replies
to a general questionnaire received
from the home financing institu-
tions and complied by Neill Davis
secretary treasurer of the Califor-
mia Building-Loan League.
Decided Improvement both in the
number and volume of loans made
and investment funds received for
the year to date compared with
the corresponding period a year
ago was reported by associations
located in thirty-four Of the sixty
six cities from which replies were
received. Two revealed slight de-
creases due solely to unusual local
conditions, Davis stated.
Particularly significant, DAVIS
continued, lis the startling disclos-
ure in the compilation of the large
number of loans made for new
construction from practically al
areas of the State. Last year bus
iness was confined almost entirely
/ to refinancing operations.
THE number of loans in some
cases was reported as high as ter
times that of a year ago and more
than a dozen associations revealed
increases of more than three times
with loans for new construction
forming a great part of the total
in the matter of investment
funds received some association!
reported the turning down Of sew
eral large accounts while generally
Throughout all districts the insti
tutions have substantially increased
the number of their investmen
certificates and it was reported
that they were having no trouble
attracting savings funds"

COURT TO RECEIVE
BABY DERBY PLEAS
Six Toronto Mothers Will
Face Judge Tomorrow
in Prize Claims.
Hy the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
TORONTO, November Six To-
ronto mothers will ask an elderly On
tario justice tomorrow what the
chances are Of getting paid for their
10 years of childbearing.
Some of them have been living on
charity, even to the point of charity
disqualification during their almost
annual confinements. None has a
husband earning anywhere near
enough money to fall within the in
come tax brackets.
All have made claims for the money
Charles v. Millar bequeathed to en-
courage childbearing, and all are Won
dering how much their babies are
worth. 1t depends upon what Mr..
Justice Middleton decides.
Three Possible Rulings.
If he should rule that the six
mothers, each claiming nine eligible
offspring, are entitled to divide the
S5OO,OOO bequest, that would make
each child worth approximately $9,250
to its mother.
The justice also might rule that
Mrs. Lily Kenny, claiming IL eligible
babies, is the champion mother under
the will.
Or the court might decide that Mil
lar had no right to make such a
bizarre disposition of his fortune.
Distant relatives of the late lawyer
are another threat to the mothers
hopes. They are asking the court to
nullify the mothers clause and to
award the money to them.
Baby Still Expected.
Mrs. Grace Bagnato, who kept
everybody on pins and needles for the
final weeks of the mothers marathon
because she expected to have another
baby any minute" is still expecting
the baby. Unfortunately, the off,
spring cannot hope to get on the Mil
lar derby scoreboard, but Mrs. Bag
nato says she's got nine anyway.
though she lacks a couple of birth
certificates.
Mrs. Pauline Clarke, one of the top
six, is back from New York, non-
committal about reports that she is
being groomed for Hollywood. Mrs.
Clarke, young and red haired. has won
notice because five of her nine chill
dren were born after her separation

LONDON, November 5.-The tradi-
