ever end you choose.
1t is not at all necessary to build cellar
the length of the house. With the new in
sulation materials, the ground flooring can
be perfectly dry and warm over an air space,
and the cellar only as big as needed. And the I
advantages of an L-shaped house are many.
For instance, if you decide on Georgian
house, on the garden side at the back you
can put in as big or as many windows as you /
choose, and give the interior two modern
advantages: uncluttered space and wall-sized
windows that bring outdoors indoors!
AS I've said, you have not left me very
much to tell you except to remind you not
to forget the very biggest hall closet you can
manage to squeeze into the plan. Don't forget
downstairs lavatory. Don't forget park
ing place for the baby-carriage. Don't forget
a place for log wood within reasonable dis
tance of the living room fireplace.
Don't forget to put in at least twice as
many electric outlets as you think you will
need. 1t is much simpler not to use those
you don't need than to rewire the house.

Don't forget to decide where and how your

And lastly, don't forget plenty of closets -
and plenty of storage space somewhere. Re-

that makes house perfect to live in, half so
much as plenty of space to put the endless
things away that we use only at times.

You haven't asked me to do plan, know

the l. and screened from the street.
A long, shallow, L-shaped house almost
plans itself: Entrance into small square hall
with rear space divided into ample coat
closet and avatory, big living room with
windows on three sides, the long ones looking
on the street and on the garden.
The dining room on the other side of hall,
also has north windows on street and south
windows on garden. The kitchen comes next at
corner of street, with windows north and east
on the street, none on garden. Selma's room

day in a transient camp 80 miles
west of Rapid City, s. OAK, were
showed in today at Rapid City by a
raging blizzard, according to tele-
gram received here from Albert H.
Cohen, father Of the boy.
The father arrived yesterday after
noon at the field office of the G-men
In Aberdeen, S. Oak, where he learned
weather conditions will prevent the
agents from taking the youth to Alb
erdeen until tomorrow or later.
The 17-yearold student, who dis
appeared last May under circum-
stances giving rise to suspicious of
abduction, was found in good con-
dition," the father wired. The reason
for his disappearance remains a mys-
terry.
The agents located young Cohen
in a relief camp near Rockford, S.
OAK, the postmaster of which rec
ognized him from a photograph and
description sent throughout the Pacific
Northwest by the F. B. I.
The father notified Mrs. Cohen at
her home, in Lyon Park. early today
that Robert had told the agents he
was anxious to go back East"
Mrs Cohen visited the Federal
Bureau of Investigation this morning
to express her appreciation to the
bureau for its intensive efforts to
find her boy. j. Edgar Hoover, di-
rector of the bureau. had taken a
personal interest in the case after
fervent pleas for aid from the parents,
who believed their son had met with
foul play.

NEW YORK, February 18.-Ogden
L. Mills, former Secretary of the
Treasury, says in his book Lib
eralism Fights On" to be published
today, that "all the elements Of a
great explosion" have been gathered
together in this country.
He lists these elements as "con-
slant expension of credit through
Government borrowing, enormous
excess reserves available for further
expansion, and an anticipated busi-
ness recovery ready to give the initial
stages Of an inflationary boom the
appearance Of legitimate business ex-
pansion."
Balancing the Federal budget, he
insists, "is Of overwhelming impor-
tance to the welfare of the Nation. I"
He advocates, among other things,
cheaper production "by the ruthless
scrapping Of plant and machinery
before 1t is worn out in favor of new
and better machinery" the encour-
agement of saving, the encouragement
Of small business. "the strictest i'm
migration laws" to protect the labor

In 1929, when the name Pantages
had become known the world around,

him when he refused to book" her
act.
He was tried for criminal attack and
found innocent. Miss Pringle then
brought a $4,000 damage suit. This
was settled out of court for an unan-
nounced sum.
Pantages got his start from what he
called "a honky-tonk show" in a Daw-
son. Y. T., dance hall.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID. February 18.-The lead
ers of Spains Left, virtually assured
of victory from Sundays elections and
a chance to form a new government,
appealed to their followers to avoid
violence today, and quiet was restored
under a nationwide state of alarm.
Authoritative sources said former
Premier Manuel AZana, whose Leftist
government was the first under the
present Spanish Republic, probably
would be encharged with forming a
Left Republican ministry before the
end of the week to replace Premier
Manuel Portela Valladares.
Persistent rumors circulated that
President Niceto Alcala Zamore in
tended to resign, but that the govern
ment was counseling him to await
complete returns from the parlia-
mentary elections.
Semi official returns indicated the
Left coalition of Socialists, Republic
ans, Communists and Syndicalists de-
feated the union of the government
Center and the Right, taking from
260 to 270 of the 473 seats in the new
Parliament.
Police and Troops on Guard.
Coupled with the Leftist appeal for
peace, the governments state of alarm
put police and military forces on guard
against any recurrence of the elec-
tions disorders, in which persons died
and 10 were injured seriously.
The latest death was that of Left
Republican youth, killed at Bilboa
yesterday by a guard who became in
volved in a political dispute with a
group of Leftists.
Prisoners at the San Miguel de los
Reyes jail in Valencia, who launched
an uprising yesterday, during which
one guard was killed and three
wounded, did not surrender imme-
diately. They took refuge in the
uppermost rooms of the institution.
holding three prison employees as
hostages.
All prisons. holding nearly 10000
teftists in connection with the revolt
of October, 1884, were guarded, how
ever, and the nation generally became
tranquil.
The centers of the most serious
disorders, in the Provinces of Alicante,
Zaragoza and Valencia, were under
martial law.
Strike at Zaragoza.
Zaragoza workers called a general
strike, closing theaters and inter-
rupting communications.
With the official election tabulation
expected to be far enough advanced
by tomorrow to confirm Leftist VIC
tory some sources said the new gov
ernment might not be constituted until
the state of alarm is lifted, seven days
hence.
Former Premier Azano, however,
was quoted as saying he had mo OBJ
jections' to being named to the post
again, and would attempt to COM
plete formation of his cabinet as
quickly as possible"
Premier Portela offered to resign
yesterday, in the face of the ap-
parent Leftist victory, informed sources
said, but was persuaded to remain
in office until the official returns were
available.
The Socialists would not enter into
the new regime Immediately, it was
understood, preferring to take time to
compromise differences within their
own ranks before participating in pow
er. but they would lend their support
to a leftist government formed by
Azana.
