BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, June 10.
The once magic name of Owen
Moore was added today to Holly
woods list of film great whose lives
ended tragically.
Mr.. Moore. 50, first husband of
Mary Pickford, apparently had been
dead two days when his wife, Actress
Kathryn Perry, yesterday found his
body, fully clothed, sprawled across
bed in their home.
An autopsy was ordered to fix offi
cially the cause of death. but his wife,
who had stood by him for 18 years,
told sorrowfully of his heavy drink
Ing and said: '"The hopeless belief
that he was all through was too
much for him"
The suave, dark-haired Irishman
began his screen career in 1910, the
year Mary Pickford became known
as Americas sweetheart. The next
year he married her. Star of MANY
pictures, he and his brother actors,
Matt and Tom. we're amassing for
tunes. Then something happened
to his romance with Miss Pickford
She divorced him in 1920 to marry
Douglas Fairbanks. A year later
Owen married Miss Perry.
A time came when he could no
longer play juveniles. He tried
character roles, then bit parts. His
last was in Mae Vests She Done
Him Wrong in 1888. He grew
gloomy and introspective. Two years
ago he was sent to the county hos
pital psychopathic ward. His wife
now working as movie extra. said
he had threatened to kill her and
had slashed his wrist with knife
He was held sane at hearing.
Yesterday she went to tidy his
upstairs room so she could show the
house to prospective renters anc
found him dead.
Owen started drinking on Moth
er's Day. May a." she said. "ano
when he was on a binge' we livec
separately, I occupied the down.
stairs portion of the house and
Owen remained upstairs"
Tearfully she told how time anc
again she had tried to "straighter
him out" but said it was his owr
! state of mind that had brought his
end.
Mr.. Moore was born in Count,
Meath. Ireland. December IL. 1886
came TO the United States with hi.
family in 1898 and received his earl,
education in Toledo. Ohio. He playec

While we haven't run any poll
on the subject we believe that we
can safely say that a large num-
ber of people in the country would
like to have shower baths installed
in their homes. Those people have
been worrying along with the old
fashioned bathtubS because they
either thought they couldn't afford
a nice shower or possibly figured
it would cost bit more to run a
modern bath of that sort.
Shower bath skeptics will open
their eyes wide when they see a
fine new device which has recently
been introduced however. This out
fit is an easily-installed arrange
ment which combines number of
truly interesting features. For in
stance, many of you object to the
hairWetting process which takes
place in the average shower. Well,
this shower has its head on the end
of an adjustable arm so that it can
be raised or lowered according to
whether it is being used by a dwarf
or a giant.
Then again, many of you would
probably have had showers before
if you could have found one which
would enable you to sit down dur
ing the bathing procedure. Sure
enough, this little shower bends its
adjustable head down so that you
cannot only loll about in a tub of

water, but can also enjoy a pleasant
spray Of clean, fresh water as you 60.
Because of the fact that no parts
are hidden in the wall the installa-
ton is greatly simplified, and you
don't have to worry about thick
nesses of tile, plaster, or other wall
materials. The rough valves are in
stalled with adjustable flanges, and
the polished chromium plated trim
is put on after everything else has
been taken care of. This should
help the initial expense problem
to great extent and keep the cost
down to reasonable level.
IT you want to dash off a small
shampoo with this shower it is
merely necessary to pull the head
down to a convenient place and
the business can be taken care of
without wetting the rest of the
body. A small knob on the shower
head need only be twisted if solid
stream is desired for filling the tub.
Various models of this shower are
available for both new homes and
remodeling, as we'll as various spe-

Monthly Sales Mark
Set in April
ByH. Ole.
Federal Agency
Reports Disposal Of
1854 Properties

Evidence that spring real estate
sales are reaching expected proper
tions was offered today in the an
nouncement by the Home Owners
Loan Corp. that it had disposed of
1874 properties in April, the largest
number sold in any single month
since the corporations establish
ment. The previous record was g.
444 sales in June, 1888.
An overwhelming majority of the
sales made by the corporation to date
have been of lower priced homes,
80 per cent being under $4,000 and
more than SO per cent under $4,000,
according to Charles A. Jones, gen.
eral manager.
21 Per Cent $1,000 to $4,000.
There is no question where the
demand for homes lies" said Mr.
Jones. About 81 per cent of our
sales have been in the price range
from $1,000 to $4,000 and about %
per cent from $4,000 to $4,000"
The H. o. L. c. has hold 42,747
properties, representing 5O2S2 living
units, through March 81, according
to Mr.. Jones. Representing capital
value of S179856.549. they sold for
$149 ,613,2 ,266, or at a loss of $780,
243,283, about $707 per property.
Costs Bring Up Loss.
"It should be understood that this
loss is not based on the original
loans" said Mr.. Jones. I'VE esti-
mate that $1,000 costs are included
in the average sale. The average
interest and tax delinquency of fore
closed borrowers is about S610. Fore
closure costs average about $140 and
we have found it necessary to expend
about $3.50 to put the average prop
erty in a marketable condition.
ut is significant that the loss
percentage on loans averaging
around $4,000 is as high as 80 per
cent in some areas, while it has
been as low as II per cent and 13
per cent where the loans averaged
under $1,000"
The H. o. L. G. thus far has ex-
pended more than $48,OOO,OOO for
the improvement of acquired prop
critics, according to Mr.. Jones. AS
of March 81, it held 9389 properties
for sale; of those available to yield
income, almost 80 per cent were
rented, Mr.. Jones said.

 The call for assistance came about 7:30 am. and was responded to by the fire truck with Chief Pusich and several firemen followed by the Jensen truck with some additional hose and another load Of firemen.
 Most of the efforts of the local de- partment was expended in saving the Juneau Paint Store building, the Valentine building and other adjoining structures from burning At one time some of them had a good start and only the presence of Douglas firemen prevented the flames from gaining headway.

 Boosting prices won't work he adds, pointing out that whi.e labor income increased during l936-37 purchases of consumer goods did not increase correspondinglv.

He cites rail wage scales as obsolete. assert ing that they discourage railroad managers from running faster, lighter trains.
 Railroads further are troubled, he said. by small blocs of security holders who hinder needed capital congratulations. (There are moves afoot in Congress aimed at remedy ing that)
 His analysis also puts the bee on government to help encourage busl- ness. He advocates completion of utility industry reform, fairer rules of competition between public and private utility enterprises, and tax reforms.
 Most important he places reduc- ton in costs of housing. Manufac- turers of automobiles. radios and furniture have lowered prices sharp ly in 10 years, while vastly improv- ing the product. But housing costs, he says, have increased sharply.
 He estimated an annual expendi- ture of s14OO0, 100000 on capital goods and housing might reasonably be developed in two three or four years-with consequent full time new employment for 8,000,000 men at good wages.
