standard of housing facilities than
is a renter.
Data supporting the survey of the
labor department upon which the
study was based We're obtained
from n family out of every ten
in Chicago. Regarding this data, the
Review said:
I'm reviewing any statistical sur
vey, allowance must always be
made for the economic conditions
which prevailed at the time of the
study. Considering the fact that
this survey as undertaken during
1886, it is quite likely that were
a similar study to be completed at
the present time the balance would
swing farther in the direction of
home ownership.
THE index of housing rentals is
nc considerably above the levels OF
those years and would thereby add
to the, rental value of owned prop
critics, andd thus increase the non
money income. Second, there have
been innumerable changes in the
home mortgage field with regard to
interest rates and the methods of fl.
nancing. These have had. the effect
of reducing interest charges and
again the imputed income of mort
gagged properties would be increas-
ed.
These facts are significant:
81. This report confirms the fact
that the greatest portion of our
families are in the earning levels
under $1,000 even in a metropolis
like Chicago.
%. The greatest urge for home
ownership is found in the income
groups between $4,000 and $4,000
although home ownership is most
prevalent among those with incomes
above $1,000.
SO. Wage earners when provided
with sufficient income prove to be
the greatest home buyers.
"a. Home ownership offers a lam
ily in a given income group a high
er standard of housing than car De
afforded by renting families in the
same income bracket.
"5. Home ownership returns an
economic addition to income suffi-
Client to increase the total family
earnings of the median family ap-
proximately 10 per cent"

The importance of surprise cannot

WITH BRITISH FORCES IN
THE LIBYAN OFFENSIVE, Dec. 49,
The British offensive entered its
10th day today with Italian forces
swept out of Egypt and several more
divisions imperiled by an ever
tightening pincer movement around
Bardia, Italys main Libyan border
base.
Armored units, many of which
had been in combat almost in
cessantly since the campaign opened
with surprise attack on the Egyp-
tian outpost of Nibeiwa, dominated
desert stretches west of Bardia and
thousands of fresh troops drawn
from Egyptian desert camps rolled
across the Libyan frontier to occupy
positions near Bardia on the east,

out by night.
In summoning correspondents to
tell them of the drive just opened,
Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell, Near
East commander, said that not more
than six of his staff officers knew
anything about it.
Soldiers who lay concealed in the
desert outside Nibeiwa before the
dawn attack spent the cold night
on the sands without even the
solace of cigarette, for fear of
being spotted by the Italians.
The Italians fought valiantly at
many places-some remaining be-
hind machine guns after all hope
of repulsing the British had gone.
In these cases it was almost suicide.
But often this resistance broke at
the last minute, the British said.

K. Dazey, testifying at his wife
murder trial, says she never has
been satisfied with the first explana-
ton Of her daughters death October
8, 1935-an inquest report that Mrs.
Doris Dazey committed suicide.
Both of Mrs. Dazey's parents. DR..
and Mrs. Walter B. Schwuchow,
have testified for the State which is
seeking to prove that DR.. Dazey,
distrusting his wife and doubling the
legitimacy Of her son, rendered Mrs.
Dazey unconscious and left her body
IN a garage filled with automobile
fumes.
Both DR.. and Mrs. Schwuchow
admitted they had custody of the
Dazel child, Walter, now nearly S,
for much of the time after their
daughters death. When DR.. Dazey
took the child away from them a
year ago they started a suit for its
custody.
Mrs. Schwuchow said that, dis
satisfied with the conclusion that
her daughter had committed suicide,
she began three years ago a search
for witnesses which ended with DR..
Dazey's indictment.
