girls to live comfortably and at the

idea how you could do it: On Ken

nished apartment that rents for
$500. It is completely furnished
and is so equipped as to have sleep

There is a nice living room for

will adequately take care Of all
your needs. Now, if four girls
should occupy it, the approximate
share per person would be around
$40. Where could you live and
have as much as this proposition
offers. Located near the 18th

DETROIT, Mich, July II.
Steve O'Neill and Carl Fischer
almost came to blows in Cleveland
yesterday. According. to those
who were present, Fischer was
talking to Johnny Mihalic, when
O'Neill passed him. There never
was anything but bad blood be-
tween these men, and when
Fischer said something in an I'M
dertone, and laughed, O'Neill took
it for granted that Fischer had
made some remark about him.
O'Neill charged at Fischer, who
allowed himself to be pressed into
the Washington dressing room.
There was beliowing back and
forth, but it was O'Neill who
charged, and he went right
into the Griff dressing room. He
was restrained by eight or nine
men in there and no blood was
let. But O'Neill roared defiance
in the loudeSt tones.

you observed in two very brief

Investors in Projects Urged
to Aim at Moderate
Income Groups.

Potential investors In rental housing
projects have expectancy OF more
stable return through business cycles
both good and bad in aiming their
building plans ut the vast group of
moderate income families than in
constructing dwellings OF the type
termed luxurious.
This fact has been revealed through
an analysis by the Federal Housing
Administration Of statistics on in
comes Of the Nations families, their
ability to pay rentals in various price
ranges and ratios of vacancies, fore
closures and refinancing between mod
crate rental and upper bracket rental
accommodations in times of stress,
according to Miles L. Colean, deputy
administrator.
With adjustments for different COM
munities of varying populations, CEN
sus figures for 1880 show that about
56 per cent Of all urban families live
in rented homes. OF these, Colean
points out, about 46 per cent paid $50
or less in rentals. about 81 per cent
paid $50 to $50, about IS per cent paid
$50 to SIS and only about per cent
