$l,2OO HOUSES
 NOW POSSIBLE
Minimum Requirements of Decent Living Provided
 in Home

Washington, D. O., May 2S.--ln the Federal Housing AdmlniStra- tion'S Technical Bulletin No. {, on Principles of Planning Small Homes, House A represents about the mini- mum in accommodations consistent with decent living.
 Tn pairing the house down to Q minimum, the relative importance of the various functions of living were carefully weighed and listed in tho order of their importance. It was decided that the most es- sential were the privacy and ade- quacy of sleeping accommodate Therefore, the bedrooms were given first consideration. They were de- signed for the needs of their occu- pants for cross-ventilation and closet room. The bathroom was so located that access to 1t from the bedrooms was through the small bedroom hall without passing through any other room. V
 It was decided that the functions l'of the living room, dining room, and kitchen could be combined into one space without violating the essen- tials of decent living. Therefore, one comparatively large room was designed for these purposes. It is not the intention of the federal housing administration to advocate this combination as desirable, but in seeking the lowest cost 1t is consid- cred permissible.
 The plan is 50 laid out that, if desired, Q partition could be built cutting this space in two. with the living room on the right and the combined kitchen and dining area on the left.
 Having decided upon the accom- modationS necessary, structural economies were studied. The plan rectangular plan, with intermediate partitions 50 placed as to allow standard lengths of lumber to be used with Q minimum of extra framing reduces waste to mini-
 nm. A variety of exterior treat U. hts are possible by the use of dif- ferent materials and by changing the direction of the ridge of the roof, which may run either from side to side or from front to rear.

DIAMOND TRADE IMPROVING

Cape Town (U.P.)-Continued improvement in the diamond trade has led to the belief that Kimberley will resume full production this year. The Dutoispan Diamond Mine is being reopened and possibly will start production on a normal scale soon. Another Kimberley diamond mine will be ready for re-opening before 1887.

ALI, IMPERIAL WALLPAPERS-even the softest finishes and most delicate pastels-can be washed with soap and water.
 Now you can laugh at dust and dirt and finger marks-even paste marks and grease-for, the new exclusive IMPERIAL process makes these papers easy and safe to clean. There is no change in ap- pearance, but the NEW IMPERIAL WALLPAPERS are like cloth in their washable and cleaning quail ites. Although when wet they darken-just like cloth-they dry out leaving the original smooth, puckered surface and fresh clear tones. You can clean them with anything you'd use to clean fine fabrics.

Excavators at ScLpi
Uncover Theater Ruins

Observation-Disclosures, carried
out under the supervision of DR..
Nickola Vulitch, of the Belgrade
university on the site of the Roman
Byzantine city of Scupi, just outside
modern Skoplye, in the south of
Yugoslavia, have reached an inn
portant stage.
Ancient Scupi was destroyed by
an earthquake in SIG A. D. A large
theater has been discovered of
which all important parts, such as
the stage, halls and corridors, were
traced. The stage was about $50
feet long, and the entire theater
measured 300 to 900 feet, offering
seats for about 5000 spectators.
The outer walls have been exca-
waited as well as part of the col
umns which served to support the
t'velarium," the canvas which pro-
tected the costlier seats from rain
and sun.
1t is expected that further exca-
vations will throw light on the dis
puted problem of the use of the
stage in Roman and Greek thea
tiers.
AS Scupi was the seat of bishop
from the Third to the Sixth CEN
turtles A. D., Doctor Vulitch hopes
to discover and excavate also i'm
portant ecclesiastical buildings of
the early Byzantine period.

"Alcoholic Badness" Held
Prohibition ''Hanpover''

Chicago.-"Alcoholic badness"
is becoming alarmingly prevalent
in the United States, "hangover"
from prohibition days, according to
Paul A. Thomas, hair and scalp
specialist.
"The majority of cases." Thorn
as says, "are just beginning to
show up, since it takes seven or
eight years to reach the badness
stage. During prohibition constant
drinking of bootleg gin and COM
pounded liquor containing raw or
impure alcohol frequently caused
a scalp condition known as
''hooch hair"
'The shattered nervous system
and over-stimulated blood circula-
ton dissipated and weakened the
scalp, stopped its normal function
and caused it to develop irrita-
tons. The hair became dry and
brittle. Badness now is the re-
suit in most of these cases. Scalp
specialists report that this type is
becoming more and more common,
and that the response to treatment
is slower than for many other scalp
ailments"

OLD DRIVER FINDS
HIS STAGE AT FAIR
Recalls Stories of Hectic Gold
Mining Days.

San Diego, Cal.-Henry Stone,
seventy-eight, who drove a stage
coach out of San Diego when he was
seventeen, recalled tales of the hec-
tic gold-mining days of the South
west when he discovered the coach
he piloted over the treacherous
mountain trails in 1875 on exhibition
at the worlds fair here.
Stone was brought to the expo
sition by Mrs. G. E. Ashby, super
visor of a WPA historical writer's
project at Santa Ana, Cal. He had
been living at Artesia, Cal.
Even before he drove the stage
between San Diego and Yuma,
Ariz., Stone rode with the pony
express over the same route, pass
ing gold-mining settlements en-
route, where he picked up mail and
changed horses.
"Our schedule on the Yuma road
was from here to Armo, Potrero,
Campo and Mountain Springs"
Stone said. "We'd change horses
in each of those settlements. A
boy would run out with a fresh
horse, grab the single line for that
animal and hand us the new line.
The company never let us get down
to get a drink. But we'd get that,
anyhow.
Altogether, we had lot of fun
in those days. I don't know wheth-
er it was because times were diff
ferent, or because we were young.
Maybe it was that. It's awful good
to be young"
Stone examined the old vehicle
carefully, and said it was Gin al
most as good shape" as when he
drove it.
Fright up there near the left
side lamp" he said, you'll find
the initials M. r. That was Mag
gle Rorke, whose daddy lived up at
Campo for a while. I often Won
dered what became of Maggie. She
sure was fine girl"
Trouble was not frequent, said
Stone, but he admitted it did be-
come a "bit wild" at times.
''The most trouble I ever saw on
a run over the mountains was
right soon after I began, driving
coach instead of riding for the ex-
press.
Cup at Campo some Mexican
bandits started to rob Gaskell S
store, but Gas had been laying
for them. I guess he had a gun
behind every flour barrel in the
station. AS the bandits came up
to the door, he began to let fly. He
shot Is of them and they piled up
right there on the stoop. Only one
got away. Gas always was sore
because he missed that last one
when a gun damned"

Washington Built, Tavern
Next Door to Conpres,

Washington.-Just east of where
the Capitol now stands there was
once an Indian village, and the first
Europeans to use the neighbor-
hood, probably, were companions
of Capt. John Smith, who sailed up
the Potomac in 1908.
DR.. Charles o. Paullin, historian,
has uncovered the early lore about
Capitol Hill in tracing land grants
of the section from the Seventeenth
century.
George Washington once bought
a parcel of land in the area for
$66.66. He was associated with a
group of men who built on the hall
the earliest tavern for the accommo-
dalton of members of congress.
In later years the neighborhood
included the residence of Daniel
Webster, Abraham Lincoln and
William Jennings Bryan.

Chinese Generals Found
to Prefer Simple Fare

Peiping.-The Lib Pao, a widely
read Chinese tabloid, assigned a
reporter to find out what Chinese
political leaders like to eat.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek,
new premier, was found to have
no preference for any special dish.
More exotic is the taste of Gen.
Chen Chi-Tang, dictator of Canton
and the South, who likes snake
cooked with fox meat.
The Christian Gen. Feng Yuhs-
ing carries his simplicity to the
dinner table, preferring cabbage
soup and the common steam bread
eaten by the poorer classes. The
favorite of Marshal Yen Shi-Shan,
powerful overload of Shansi prov
ince, consists of ten kinds of vege-
tables and meat cooked with a
paste of bean curd.

Dentists Patients
Use "Stop-Go" Signs

London.-A "stop," Caution"
ego" apparatus, by which pa
tents can reveal to the dentist
exactly how they feel, is the
latest device for banishing fear
of dental surgery being used in
Britain.
The patient holds the control
switch in his hand while his
teeth are being drilled. A box
containing the red, amber, and
green lights attached to a collar
placed on the shoulder of the
patient shows the dentist instant
ly if he should stop, 60 cautious
ly, or go ahead with the oper-
alton.
The lights first were suggested
to the inventor as a joke. He per-
fected the apparatus and found
that its psychological effect was
tremendous. 1t usually gives pa
tients so much confidence that
they do not signal "stop" at all.

LEAVES WEALTH TO
ASSIST POOR BOYS
Rich Oil Operator Creates
"Mercy Foundation"

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Ever conscious
throughout life of his struggles in
his rise to financial heights as one
of the nations wealthiest oil OPP
orators, Addison H. Gibson,
moved in death to insure youths of
another generation against similar
hardships.
In his will filed for probate here
he left more than 81, 900 of his
$4,000, 900 estate to the poor for
medical care and to needy young
men for college education.
Dies in Oklahoma.
The seventy-five-year-old Pitts
burgher, who started life as the son
of an Armstrong county storekeeper,
died recently in Tulsa, Okla. In
creating by his will the Addison
H. Gibson Foundation, he declared:
81 have throughout life been i'm
pressed by the misfortune OF per-
sons in dire need of medical and
hospital assistance, but unable to
obtain the same because of pow
erty and limited means. Also by
the fact that worthy children of
parents who are poor or of limited
means cannot obtain the higher
education which they crave and
which, if they could obtain, might
greatly increase their happiness
and their usefulness.
He ordered 100000 be held in
trust for his sister, Annie A. Nc
Chesney, of Oak Park, ILL.,, and
her daughter, Martha G. McChes-
ney. Upon their death the mon
ey will be returned to the founda-
ton.

pico.
He urged that his money be CIV
EN- only to western Pennsylvanians.
In addition, he remembered his
associates in the oil industry.
He specified:
81 want them to make loans to
worthy young men desiring to OBJ
tain a college education. want
loans to be made to such individu-
ais at a low rate of interest, or,
if my trustees see fit, without in
terest. l realize such individuals
will not be able to give security
for their loans.

jority of the boys so given as
sistance will repay their loans"
