U. s. SUCKER
 COMES BACK,
 CRIES "M0RE''
It Seems that Little Eel. low Can't Get Wise
 to Stock Market
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Appar- antly you can't scare the great American sucker.
 After the punishment the stock market has passed out to tsp arti- cipans in recent days, it would seem that the small gird with his few hundred dollars of sock-money would stay out until the trouble blew over. Not so.
 The Securities and Excl ng e Commission has been keeping a daily tabulation on the doings of the little fellow in the stock market. His buyings and sellings are kind ly described by the busy traders as odd lots" deals in which less than 100 shares are involved.
 The Exchang began keeping that report daily on June '. With the exception of two days, the courageous little fellows on the out side continued to pour in theii money in steadily greater volume than they took out right through the hectic week ending July Il. IT that week there were repeated slumps that recalled 1929.
 But did the lttle fellows panic muscles tighten? Not so that i was especially noticrable. It is true that after the earliest sharI break of September T, the little fellows seemed to feel some alarm The following day their efforts tt get out of the market brought sale to 389,528 shares while they bough in only 387,778.

HAWKING. Sept. 28-Dimitri Bog omoloff, Soviet Ambassador to China. left suddenly for Moscow this morning by plane on what 1t be- lieved here to be a vital mission af- fecting Russia's position in the Sino Japanese war.

 Bogomoloff left after Japanese raiding planes had been driven off by Chinese pursuit planes before they could do damage to military objectives.
 Thirty Japanese planes bombed the military airdrome on the out- skirts of the city for 10 minutes be- fore the Chinese craft rose to att tack.
 In an apparent reaction to foreign protests against bombardments of civilians, the Japanese avoided the thickly populated areas. Twelve Chinese planes cut out an lequal number of Japanese planes and for more than an hour the planes fought series of dog fights high in the air. The battle ended i in draw. %

GARBAGE CAN IS MADE INTO IRON
 LUNG BY DOCTOR
Cofey Makes Unique De- vice to Combat Par
 alysis Threat

A garbage can, transformed by the inspiration of a physician, became an iron lung today as Dr. Robert M. Coffey enlisted aid of invention to combat the dangers of infantile paralysis which now hold Juneau under a two week health ban.
 Although never having seen a manufactured iron lung nor stu died how one is made, Dr. Coffey never -the-less has been able to con- struct from an ordinary garbage can. a lung -pressure-suction device which causes the subject to inhale and exhale at the rate of 26 times per minute.
 Dr. Coffey first realized proba- bility of need for such an apparatus during the illness of Roy McMath, who passed away this month from infantile paralysis. Knowing of the expense of commercial iron lungs and of the demand which greatly surpasses the total output Dr. Cof- fey thought of the possibility of manufacturing one himself. A week ago he started work on a small model, assisted by Kenyon Mclean machinist.
 The model was completed a few days ago and worked satisfactorily at the rate of 26 respiration move ments per minute. However, wher Jackie Mcclure contracted infan- tile paralysis Sunday, work on the large piece of apparatus had moi been started, and the model was found to be four inches too short. Work was begun immediately or the larger device, but difficulties were encountered despite the all night efforts of the several em- ployed. By today when the appara- tus was finally perfected, it wal found that the Mcclure child wal progressing so well that at present at least, he will not require the as- sistance of the automatic lung However, it is ready for use upor moments notice.
 Now that the apparatus ha' proved practicable, pr. Coffey ane MT. Mclean have decided to star work on still larger lung devic' which will be of sufficient size t. accommodate an adult.

EARTH ROCKS
 IN THIS CITY
 LAST EVENING
For Slxty-tive Seconds There Was a Peculiar
 Movement, All Its Own

Juneau was shaken for 65 seconds late yesterday afternoon. There were two very distinct shocks and several lighter ones.
 The shocks began at 5:29A o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 Housewives moved unsteadily on their feet, hanging things swung, dishes rattled and pictures became askew on the walls.
 In downtown hotels and stores, individuals wondered why one foot wanted to step on the other.
 Bowling balls rolling down the alleys took on queer directions and players looked for a glass of water, or something.
 Out on the channel the water suddenly became choppy, then sev- eral miniature tidal waves rolled up
 Twas a funny sensation to those who felt the movement.
 The last time a shock was felt here was November 29, 1884, about o'clock in the evening

What It Means, This Counting Of United States Unemployed
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Sep. 28.-You'n soon be hearing a lot about the forthcoming census" of the unem- ployed, but you'll need a compass to work your way through the maze of technical pros and cons.
 1. The count will not be census in the commonly accepted meaning of that word. It will be rather an official registration of the citizens who want, or are willing, to classify themselves as unemployed.
 2. The poll will mark the first experiment by the United States government in this kind of census taking.
 3. The so-called census is an ex- cellent example of how the voice of the American public can make itself heard between national elec- tions.
 | For it was a recruiting public outcry that brought both parties into the open on the question of an unemployment census. So widely varying were the estimates of un- employment that people began to wonder, and ask, why the federal government didn't find out how many people actually were unem- ployed Newspaper editorials on this subject were appearing at the rate of five or six week last Janu- ary. By the time the leaves were budding, the rate was 50 week I

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 10.
Ingenious use of glass blocks,
among the latest developments in
building materials, was made by
a local resident who desired to
establish a recreation room in the
basement of his home.
Finding the cellar space large
but clammy and poorly lighted,
the home owner determined to
provide as much sunlight as pos
SibIe in the basement, even though
only part of it was above ground
level.
To solve the difficulty, he hired
a builder to remove portion Of
one wall, placing in the hole a
large window" of glass brick.
Now the recreation room has sun
light, and besides is thoroughly
insulated against cold through

sulation properties of the glass

First of the 'Low-Cost
Houses Designed
BY SAKE

. What is believed to represent
a new era in home building is
portrayed in a residence now
nearing completion at 800 Lin
coin ST., Bethesda. Md. Con-
structed at a cost of 10 cents a
cubic foot, this building is the
first of a series of experimental
houses designed for Robert Yaf-
fey, by Alexander T. SAKE, archi-
tect.
working on the theory that q
great deal can still be done with
conventional methods Of con.
struction and building entirely
of stock materials and equip
ment, SAKE offers. in this house,
a challenge to the exponents OF
prefabricated structures, as well
as others interested in various
types and methods of low-cost
housing.
While this house does not pre-
tend to offer a complete solution
to the basic problems involved In
low-rent housing, it attempts to
GO well beyond minimum stand
ards of living and enters into the
bracket of better class living.
without the usual attendant ex-
pense. .
This house is situated on a good
sized lot, 80 feet by 100 feet
within easy committing distance Of
washington, in the development
known as Huntington Terrace. 1t
should be observed that the long
dimension Of the house runs
across the lot, parallel to the
street, thereby giving considerable
disable space in the rear OF the
lot, as well as lawn in front.
The lot is comparatively level, pro
viding easy access to the attached
garage, and the entire home costs
but $4,000.
The architectural style Of the
house is Colonial in character and
is of a somewhat conventional
"salt-box" type popular in New
England for the past 200 years.
The plan was conceived to allow
for a complete living unit on the
first floor with finished stair.

second floor space. .-.--.---
