anticipates that any such gather
ing, promoted by Hoover and his
friends, would be to considerable
extent dominated by the former
president. The sitting Republicans
in Congress fear the same thing,
and they do not relish the idea
especially on the eve of their own
battles for reelection.
DENIAL is MILD
They suspect, rightly or wrongly,
that the former President has his
eye on the 1910 nomination, and
this suspicion was not obliterated
by Hoover's mild disclaimer in his
Boston Speech last night. Hoover
said "he did not want any public
office" but such a declaration is
far from taking him out OF con-
sideration. He did not, like Gen.
VIM. T. Sherman, say he would
mot accept if nominated. nor
serve if elected"
In that respect, the Hoover dis
claimer was compared here today
to Calvin Coolidge's enigmatic 81

In any event, it was apparent
today that neither Landon, a week

moved himself from presidential
consideration in 1QAn

The Hoover speech followed by
one week a similar, though differ
ent, speech made by Ex-Gov. ALI
M. Landon, the 1885 standard
bearer. The speeches were similar
in that they both flayed the New
Deal from stem to stern, and
called for a reawakened Republi-
can party.
DIFFERENT VIEWS
They were different in that
Hoover proposed positive steps in
the form of a mid-term Republi-
can convention next year to draft
a program of principles, to which
Landon has been cool if not hos.
tile, and which he ignored in his
own speech a week ago.
The former President has been
perSiStently promoting the mid
term convention for some months,
and is reported to have a major.
ity of the national committee,
which meets in Chicago next
week, favorably committed to it.
The project has been opposed,
either actively or quietly, by Ian
don'S friends, and by most of the
Republicans in Senate and House
who are up for reelection next
year.

UNITE new DEAL
FOES, is PLEA OF
HOOVER TO COP.
Warns Party Not to Seek
To use Mistakes"

BOSTON, Oct. 27 Q.N.SO.- A
call for the Republican party to
draft a new declaration of princi.
pies that would unite all foes of
the Roosevelt Administration was
sounded today by former President
Herbert Hoover.
Asserting he wants no public Of
flee for himself, he urged in a
nationally broadcast address last
night that the proposed new draft
Of party policy be submitted at a
1898 mid-term convention.
LANDON APPROVES
simultaneously, in Topeka, Kan,
Alfred M. Landon, G. o. P. presi-
Dental candidate in 1885, indi-
Gated he would consider favor
ably such a convention. Plans for
the conclave will be made at a
national committee meeting in
Chicago November 5.
Calling for IAN honest, coura'
geous declaration Of convictions,
of positive principles for forward
action" Hoover warned Republi-
cans against trying to win cleo
lions by "joyriding on mistakes"
and added:
Regarding talk Of fusion and
coalition, let me say this is a re-
suit devoutly to be wished for.
But the people fuse or coalesce
around ideas and ideals, not
around political bargains or
stratagems.
Hoover declared gradual col
lectivism called planned economy
is creeping upon u.s."
OUTLINES ISSUES
He listed the following cate
gories of present national issues:
1, Issues of moral integrity in
government.
2, Issues of personal liberty
and its safeguards.
3. Financial and economic
policies which affect standards
of living.
4. Issues of security and aid
for the less fortunate.
S. Relations to other nations.
discussing the first issue, Hoover
sharply denounced the New Deal
in a series of questions attribut-
ing q lack of moral integrity to
governing officials. One query
was:
us 1t moral for high Govern
ment officials to stir hate OF
group against group, of work
man against workman"
WOULD AID POOR
He declared the Republican
party must see to it that justice
was done to the great economic
middle Glass;" which now en-
braced the truly forgotten men"
Policies that harry" them are
fatal to the very poor, he added.
Discussing reports of his per
sonal ambition to run again for
the presidency, Hoover said in
part:
mot that it Is Of any i'm
portance but just to keep the air
clean, let me repeat once again
that I do not want any public
office. I shall keep on fighting
for those things vital to the
American people"

BOOK CA[LEDA|D
T0HOME BUILDERS
Authors of "Designed for
Living" Offer Volume
of Advice.

Declaring the desire to build a
home as 1nsistent as the desire for
marriage, Elizabeth Gordon and
Dorothy Ducas, authors of The Stars
Designed for Living" column, have
written book to aid new home build
ers and have entitled it More House
for Your Money" The book has just
been published.
Publishers commend the book as a
practical aid, claiming that its use
will make possible an average saving
of at least $3.50 to the new home
builder, through avoidance of errors
In planning and the selection of ma
terials for building.
You cannot build better home
until you know what makes home
better" the authors write in the in
PRODUCTION.
"A house must fit the family and
It's purse.
Forget styles, forget trimmings for
the nonce, and design a house from
the inside out instead of the outside
IN. The exterior will shape itself
about the rooms. Mostly it can be
made any style and the inside will
not have been moulded to fit artificial
boundaries"
Advising employment of a con-
tractor and an architect who in
splre confidence, the writer's deal first
with adequate house plans, then with
how much to spend for home and how
to finance it. Methods of construc-
ton and decision on materials to use
for wall construction of the house is
next important.
Taking into consideration the fact
that costs of building materials fuc-
tuate constantly, they offer "ConStruc-
ton Recipes" to show that walls may
be built of masonry just as economic
ally as walls of less permanent materi-
ais. Figures provided by a Brooklyn
contractor, who used the grades of
material he considered adequate, give
comparative costs for a square foot
Of wall, as follows
Concrete block g inches thick
painted with portland cement paint,
80 cents; wood framing, sheathing and
clap boards, so cents; wood framing,
sheathing and cement stucco, So
cents; concrete block g inches thick
and stucco, IS cents; concrete block
az inches thick and stucco, rs
cents; monolithic concrete, painted, rs
cents; hollow tile g inches thick and
stucco, 78 cents; wood framing and
sheathing and brick veneer, 81 cents;
solid brick g inches thick, 81 cents;
concrete block g inches) and brick
veneer, 81 cents; hollow tile g inches)
and brick veneer, s108, and solid
brick az inches thick, sl15.
The writer's express wonder that
concrete, 'the cheapest material in
many parts of the country" has had
such slow acceptance and venture the
opinion that early concrete block was
made ito look like natural ragged
stone instead of what it was-man-
made, poured stone" to account for
1t. Today, they add, concrete is very
much in the ascendancy.

Wait IS Minutes
To Put Out Fire.

Hopkins fire-call contract
had not been signed the Hopkins
fire department last week could not 60
to work for As minutes after receiving a
fire alarm. Consequently, roof blaze
at the F. A. Huttner home Glen Lake
was not extinguished until damages ex-
ceeding $1,000 had been caused. An
alarm was telephoned to the Hopkins
fire department, but because OF the
guarantee contract" regulation the fire
chief was unable to order out the equip
ment. The department can answer calls
outside the village limits only when the
property owner has agreed to pay for
the call on an hourly basis. The fire
chief Immediately telephoned Mrs
Huttner in Minneapolis who gave hin,
the name of the insurance company
covering the house. Informed that the
house was already burning, that it prob
ably would burn to the ground if the
flames were left and that chances were
good for the Hopkins firemen to stop
the blaze, the company verbally guar
anteed payment. A truck and company
of firemen were then dispatched i'm
mediately to the scene of the fire. While
the fire chief rushed through the series
of telephone calls, a hastily formed
brigade of employees from nearby Glen
Lake Sanatorium had kept the flames
from running wild.

at 10 o'clock, when THE House That
Anne Built" was shown under the di-
rection of the Johns Manville Com
pany through their local headquarters
the McMahan Lumber Co., home of the
Ely Housing Guild.
The feature of the production was the
remarkable transformation of a de-
lapidated shanty into handsome home
and the striking interiors designed by
Laurelle v. A. Guild, prominent indus
trial designer.
The plot involved family divided
as to whether they should build a new
house or remodel fathers old home

decide on new home and take va
cation in the South while it is being
built. During their absence, the
daughter, Anne, arranges to have the
dilapidated, old house, modernized also
and at the same time, falls in love with
the young architect who designs both
jobs. The problem of having two
houses on their hands is solved when
the young people announce they are to
be married and the modernized home
stead is presented to them as we'd
ding gift.
