3 Low Cost Housing
Projects Authorized
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Surveys and negotiations for options
on proposed sites for low-cost housing
projects are under way in two Ohio
cities, which have received authority
to proceed from State and Federal
Housing Authorities.
Options have been secured by the
Cleveland Metropolitan Authority on
sites where two of three low-cost
housing projects contemplated by the
Authority will be launched in the near
future.
Maturity of the two projects is de-
pendent on completion of the site pur-
chases. One project will probably be
located in the Starkweather Avenue
and West Seventh Street area, and the
other between East goth and 34th
Streets and st. Clair and Superior
Avenues.
Members Of the Canton Metropolitan
Housing Authority are to be appointed
at once following approval Of a con-
templated low-cost housing project for
Canton and Massillon, including ten
townships in Stark county, by the
state housing Authority.
An apartment building containing
22S suites Of 3, and rooms is con-
templated by a Cleveland syndicate,
with maturity of the project dependent
on final FILA approval. The building
would be constructed on South More
land Boulevard, Shaker Heights, at an
estimated cost of S1,7O0,0OO.
Construction Of a building with pro-
visions for theater and storerooms
is contemplated by three Cleveland
business men, to be located on Lake
Shore Boulevard between 216th and
2l6th Streets. Cost of construction is
estimated at S175OO0.
Three construction projects costing
approximately s777,272 were reported
last week as the largest building con-
templated in cooperation with PWA.
A municipal garage, to be located
on the Cincinnati workhouse grounds
has been approved by the PWA, which
has allocated 1921 ,136 to the city as
grant of 45 per cent of the s513.636
construction cost.
Bids for the construction of a mems
dormitory at Bowling Green State
University will be asked soon, accord
ing to reports. Cost Of construction
is estimated at s163,636. A requested
PWA grant has been approved.
An addition to the Reading School
Cincinnati, will be started soon with
PWA assistance, according to reports
Cost of the addition is estimated at
100000

DON'T JUMP TO
CONCLUSIONS
FRANCES DUNLAP HERON

What did you want, Mother?" Six
year-old Jimmy had come promptly at
his mothers call.
81 just noticed that my begonia had
been knocked off the front porch. Do
you know how it happened?"
"No, don't, Mother Say! that's too
bad. | know it was all right when /
was out there while ago."
"All right, Son, just wanted to
know. Now run on and play"
Aunt Beatty Baxter, who was visit
ing, had overheard the conversation
and was unable to refrain from COM
ment.
"My sakes, Clara, you don't intend
to let that child get off like that, do
you? You know very we'll he knocked
that pot off while he was jumping from
the porch steps. Why, it wasn't more
than ten minutes ago that he was out
there"
"a thousand things can happen in
ten minutes" Clara Allen replied.
"1ve found that children are almost
certain to be truthful and honest if
they know you trust them. | never
question Jimmy's statements when he
is called on for definite reply. He
knows I will not punish him for an
out-and-out admission of an accident
or misdemeanor. Consequently, he has
no motive for hiding things"
Aunt Betty looked doubtful. "But
how do you explain that broken be-
gonia ,"
an city like this, Aunt Betty, a
hundred persons may walk past your
house in ten minutes. They walk into
your yard, even come up on your porch
steps sometimes. Boys run and jump
through your premises. Dogs are al
ways bobbing in. People come onto
the porch to leave circulars. Can't you
see the possibilities Of accidents or
even deliberate pranks? I'm positive
Jimmy did not knock that plant off.
''You see, made terrible mistake
with Jimmy once when he was three
years old. | had set bowl of candy
on the dining table, explained to jim
my that it was for company, and told
him he was not to disturb it. | went
upstairs to dress and returned a few
minutes later to find some of the candy
gone. accused him and pleaded with
him to admit his guilt, but he refused.
took him to his room and told him
to stay there till he could tell me the
| truth.
"As | mused in perplexity at the
! head Of the stairs before starting
down, | heard an unfamiliar sound on
| the first floor. Aware that | might be
on the verge of revelation, removed
+ my slippers and padded softly down
to the dining room.
"Too late, Trixie, the dog, perceived
me, jerked her head out of the candy
bowl, and darted out into the yard,
leaving a bulge in the screen door
where she struck it in her haste.
Never before had she disobeyed
rules and entered the house, even when
| the screens were down. In far cor
ner Of the lot she hung her head in
shame, but | was so thrilled at learn
ing she was the culprit that | let her
| off without even a scolding. | ran up
stairs to Jimmy, and you can imagine
how ashamed | felt. Now you see,
Aunt Betty, why don't jump to con-
! cluSions."

RAILROAD EMPLOYMENT
IN SMALL ADVANCE

Washington, D. c. GLNS). Rail
road employment at the middle of
August showed LOS per cent over that
of the middle of July-but 1922 per
cent lower than the figures for the
same month lin 1887.
The month covered has shown a
slight upturn in the two railroad oc-
cupations which fare the worst, even
in good times. Maintenance of way
and structures men were 2.31 per cent
more numerous than the month before
and maintenance of equipment and
stores workers were 1.91 per cent
thicker. Even so, the way men were
24.36 per cent and the equipment and
stores people were 26.55 per cent few
er than year ago.

THE DOOM OF DEMOCRACY

If it is established in the Mexican
instance that a Latin American Gov
ernment can arbitrarily confscate the
property of American companies and
American investors without paying
for it fully and promptly, this will
give collectivists in those countries
such a powerful weapon that col
lectivist policies, whether fascist or
communistic, will become almost gen
eral throughout Latin America. And
that will mean economic retrogression
of a kind and to an extent that will
affect the prosperity of the entire
Western Hemisphere and even of the
Old World. Moreover, it will spell
the doom of democracy in many

look of two who instinctively drew together, yet in the final resolution were left always apart.
 Miss Miller's low even voice said something else that Tran did not catch, and Dr. Sargent an- swered almost bitterly, "Yes, and even surgeons are sometimes hu- man beings, Katherine You wouldn't like that, would you? You like flesh and blood machines, always tuned to the highest effi- ciency. I often wonder"
 It was then that the rending crash came. A splintered bulk of tree trunk and wet leaves hurled through the heavy window pane, and shattered glass fell in every direction.
 Miss Miller cried out in a voice not her own. Stephen - your arm"
 Dr. Sargent just stood, his left hand clasped above his right el- bow, while blood spurted from a deep cut below.
 After that first shocked outcry Miss Miller went into action with her usual swift, sure boise, her voice low and even in command her face smooth mask of quiet self-assured competence, her slim hands working faultlessly as she applied tourniquet and dis patched Tran to summon doctor.
 Meantime, Stephen Sargent sat with face like granite, his eyes on the fingers of that right hand which had performed so many daring miracles fingers that now hung lax and helpless. and would not move, no matter how hard he tried to flex them.
