 Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Ital- ian Premier Benit0 Muss0lini have agreed to the terms of the Axis Peace" with France.
 The terms are not specified but are expected to be harsh.
 Hitler and Mussolini left Mun- ich even as the French soldiers were told to keep on fighting until the armistice is actually signed.
 Canada, meanwhile, prepared to mobilize all of the Domini0n's manpower and resources to fling on the dawuing battle for Great Britain"
 Marshal Petain, new Premier of France, and Gen. Weygand made sudden unexplained moves late today, limiting at a collapse of peace efforts. Both Petain and Weygand appealed to the French forces to carry on the battle.
 The French have dynamited the four mile lone railroad tun- mel under Gold Mountain in Juras, close to the Swiss border. The tunnel Is used by the trans European express trains.

Large Windows
More Popular

Large window areas in homes
are now the rule rather than the
exception.
The modern trend is to larger
and more window openings. Like
so many other functional parts Of
modern house, windows today
have improved considerably in de-
sign and construction.
There was a time when archi-
tects and builders hesitated TO use
large window areas because OF the
great heat losses they caused. To-
day the trend is just the opposite,
because double glass, weather
stripping. and careful construction
where the window frame and the
wall join have largely eliminated
windows as sources Of excessive
heat losses.

Rent Increases Do
Not Worry Buyers

THE demand for rental houses
is rapidly increasing in the Taco
ma area, creating the likelihood Of
advancing rents in the near flu
ture," WAS the substance OF
statement made yesterday by
Morris Kleiner. president OF the
Model Lumber company.
1T is impossible for families
that are renting their homes to
know how much they will have TO
pay one or two years from now.
Increased governmental activities
In this area is certain TO step up
the demand for rental houses and
the law OF supply and demand will
force rents to a higher level
Families buying their own
homes on monthly payments. on
the other hand. are protected
against advancing costs" the
lumberman said. Their costs for
housing remain fixed, regardless
Of advancing prices.
Many Tacomans realize the
situation they are facing and are
inquiring about building sites. with
the view TO home ownership with
in the next few months. To assist
persons wishing to buy or sell
building lots, we are providing a
listing service in an effort to get
buyers and sellers together.
While We are not in the real
estate business and do not charge
for our listing service. we are glad
to provide this assistance to those
who wish to Use IT,"
The Model Lumber company has
a large file Of property listings
on hand and invited others who
have property for sale to send in
a description and price for inciu-
sion In the book Of building sites
available.

Should Check
On TaxRate

The tax rate and the assess
ments which will be levied upon
prospective home builders should
be carefully checked.
Unless taxes are to be reason
ably low. and unless it is certain
that large assessments will not be
required for streets and similar
items, another neighborhood
should be considered.
There are cases. however. when
it is perfectly sensible to buy in
a subdivision which is not fully
improved and the price OF the lot
is correspondingly lower than that
asked for in a fully improved
neighborhood.
II the property il to be i'm
proved, legal guarantees as to the
amount of special assessments
should be requested.

as something of a behavior clinic"

a ''psychiatric clinic" Judge Curran
emphasized it would not be a place

Instead, he said it should be
clinic where the physical, mental
and social background of persons
entangled with the law could be
studied to aid the court in weighing
their cases.
Judge Curran said, too, that pris-
oners should be sentenced not only
for punishment, but to rehabilitate
them and make them better men,
