POPE TO BLESS
EUCHARIST|C
CONGRESS

MANILA, P. l., Feb. 6 0.NS.O
The four-day Eucharistic Congress
worked magnificently toward a
close here today, as preparations
were made to receive the Papal
blessing direct by radio from the
Vatican.
The blessing will be received to.
night after a parade of 100000
faithful through the streets. The
parade will be led by flag bearers
of all nations represented.
Eighty thousand school children,
clad in white dresses, attended
mass this morning as part of the
EuchariStic celebration. The chill
dren sang hymns and prepared to
join in the parade.
Last night the congress was
urged by Monsignor Silvestre San
cho, rector of the Manila Univer-
sity of San Tomas, to pray for the
victory of the Spanish insurgents
in the civil war now raging in
Spain. He said;
Communism is clashing with
the children of Christ in the
Spanish civil war. 1t is a bitter
fight to death between the Eu-
charist, which is the living Jesus,
and Atheism, disguised under
the cloak of COmmuSism."

MICHIGAN PARK HOUSE:

MICHIGAN PARK HOUSE:
Don't let anything stop you from
seeing this six room house, that
is, of course, if you're considering
buying at once. Unusually well
constructed, with all the necessary
equipment, this home can be
financed by the Federal Housing,
bringing the monthly payments
down to as low as $500 which
includes taxes, interest and cur
tailments. Three of the rooms
are good size bedrooms. and the
bath. which contains a shower, is
easily accessible from all three.
Meal preparations will be most
enjoyable in this extremely we'll
appointed kitchen. for the clever
builder has constructed it in a
most efficient manner. For con-
venience, there is servants toilet
and laundry trays in the base
ment. In this limited space, can
not do justice to its many out
standing qualities, but I feel sure
you will be satisfied in every way,
if your choice should fall here.
ORCHID ST.-WEST OF
18th St. N. W.:
If beauty, construction and value
are essential to you in your quest
of a permanent home. then your
problem is answered here. Built
with the finest materials, the
builder has also taken a great in
tereSt in making this house out
standing in its originality. and
presents an interior that is, to
say the least, pleasing and un-
usual The ground floor contains
a living room beautifully done in
Colonial style, a small study and
den, with lavatory adjoining a
dining room, off Of which is
screened in porch and a kitchen
all done in gliStening white.
Years ago we generally skipped
over the cellar, for they were so
dark and gloomy, but this one is
revelation. To be different,
the recreation room is moderniStiC.
the coloring is black and silver,
the lighting indirect, and the fire
place of stone. Also down in this
basement is a laundry room and
tWoCar garage. The sleeping
quarters on the second floor con
sist of three bedrooms and two
baths, and, to prepare for the ex-
pansion of the family, there is a
complete finished bedroom and
space for another bath on the
third. If interested in a worthwhile
home, call my office and will be
glad to submit location and price.

ICKES AWARDS
STEEL BID ON
ARIZ0NADAM
International News Service

Denouncing the continued prac-
tice of identical bidding" on Gov.
ernment jobs, Secretary of the In
terror ICkeS today awarded a con-
tract to the Sheffield Steel Cor
poration of Kansas City, Mo, for
reinforcing steel to be used in con.
Struction of Bartlett Dam, Arizona,
on a bid of $280,99l.84.
The Sheffield Company and the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation sub
mitted identical bids, but they
were lower than other bids opened
November 80 by the Bureau of
Reclamation.
The award was made to the Shef-
field Corporation, ICkeS said:
Because its shipping point
was further removed from the
point of delivery than that of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation
and, because while no advantage
in cost was obtained, additional
employment will result by reason
that the transportation distance
is greater"
The Bethlehem Corporation
would ship from Los Angeles.
Former Comptroller General
John R. McCarl, before he retired
last June, ruled against Ickes' prac.
tise of awarding contracts on iden-
tical bids to the shipper furthest
from the point of delivery. Ickes
commented:
Protest that this rule oper-
ateS, especially in the case of the
contract by the Bureau of Rec
lamatiOn, against those bidders
in the West who generally are
comparatively near the point of
destination, can best be answered
by the reply that the practise of
submitting identical bids defeats
the purpose of the Government
in advertising its work for free
and open competition"

TIME EXODUS
AT BUILDING

Less than seven minutes would
be required for the 5000 capacity
population to evacuate the new
South Building of the Interior De-
partment via it's II stairways run
ming from basement to penthouse,
Interior statisticians estimated to-
day.
If the 20 high-speed elevators
we're used, the same number of
persons could leave the building
in less than 10 minutes.
A new wrinkle in Government
building transportation will be
provided by four escalators run
ming between the basement and
the first two floors. These can
carry $4,000 persons per hour
without crowding," the depart
ment asserts.

american University Park:
A house of personality and charm;
one that will equal the pride you
will take in it. It has six rooms,
recreation room and is fully in
sulated and screened throughout.
A beautifully constructed home
located in delightful American
University Park; one that will be
a real sacrifice at $4,000, which
is far below its actual value. The
recreation room, which has a real
wood-burning fireplace in it, pro
vides charming place to lounge

terror. l feel justified in asking
you to reserve your final decision
until you have visited this home.
MANNING DRIVE:
There is real comfort in today's
new homes. Here is one that is
not only substantially built, but
is unusually low in price. The
detached house which has six
rooms, two baths, sells for $3.50,
is located on lot 60x130, and
can be purchased on most attrac-
tive terms. The kitchen. ostensibly
the province Of woman. seems
to hold a special fascination for
the builder of today. Every con-
CeiVable feature necessary to the
culinary art is included and so
well placed as to give additional
working space This house has
been furnished for your inspec-

crete idea of how lovely a home
you could have. Drive out today.
HOME ON LEGATION ST.:
Here's a home that will enhance
in value rapidly as time marches
on, a home of rare personality
and one that will house a growing
family with ease. This home is
built on that ever popular center
hall type with a huge living and
dining room, opening off the hall.
You have space enough to turn
it into a ball room. There are
four large bedrooms with two
complete baths, a modern kitchen
with all the appointments.
breakfast room, sun parlor, and
large screenedin porch. The ser
want problem would be an easy
one here, for there are ample
quarters in the basement to take
care of them. This is an oppor-
tunity for real home, at an ex-
Ceptional low cost.
