Suspicious, Paula hesitated,

She said, Its q date"
Bill jerks was on time. Paula
stepped into the blue coupe,
her heart beating fast. Was she

now she didn't trust the impulse
that had led her to accept the In

il she could learn more about
the League, how deeply Chris

to help him.
They drove out the main high

1t was still light enough to see

II took six years to assemble

In 1896, however, the army was
ready to 60 ahead and il was
able to get from Congress a
preliminary appropriation of

out as to what was going on, for
the secret was too big to hide.
In the first place, there was no

Upper-Story Offices
Show Rental Premium

The average business tenant likes

sequently q stronger demand for
upper story space in ONCE buildings
and 1t will command a proportion
ately higher rental rate.
This is one of several factors that
are involved in the scientific valu-
alton of rental area in the modern
skyscraper. Just how this works out
so that practical appraisal methods
supersede "rule of thumb" In the
business building industry was ex-
planned this week at q territorial
meeting" of building owners and
managers, held at Lynchburg, Va,
by Maynard Hokanson of Indian

Along with elevation above street

But the most interesting feature
of space valuation, as Mr.. Hokanson

Sowdust Cure Advised
For Filling Floor Cracks

Because crack-fllling materials
often work out of floors. the filler
itself may not necessarily be at
fault. AS floors made out of oak
and other hard woods are usually
WaXed, the cracks oftentimes hold
more or less wax as we'll which
prevents the filling material from
adhering to the sides of the cracks.
The same result may also be caused
when varnish or shellac trickles
into the cracks.
To prevent such trouble, clean the
cracks out thoroughly by scraping
and remove all dust. For a salts
factory filling, use sifted saWdust
made from the same wood as the
floor. Enough sawdust for crack
filler can be procured quickly by
saving some of the wood. Mix
the sawdust to a paste with a fairly
strong solution of glue or casein.
BY adding coloring matter to the
mixture it may be darkened to
match the color of the wood. AS
soon as the filler is pressed we'll
into the crack, smooth it down and
clean the surplus away before the
fller has time to harden.

Suggestions for Keeping
Furniture Up 10 Date

Keeping your old furniture up to
date in appearance is almost as i'm
portant as keeping it busted Many
Of us have chairs, tables. beds and
similar pieces whose only draw
back is that they are dated"
The beds made of iron tubing and
painted white, which today look
like a hospital bed, may be made
over into a most useful and attrac-
tive piece with a little effort and
ingenuity The foot of the bed may
be cut off with a hacksaw Just
above the spring. The head of the
bed may be covered in a gay-flow-
cred chintz which is fitted very
smoothly and finished with a bind
ing like slip cover. A pleated
ruff1e all the way around the bed to
match the head will finish the whole
thing and give it a modern fashion,
able appearance.
An upholstered chair with funny
legs or strange proportions which
make 1t appear old fashioned may
be helped with slip cover with a
scalloped and fringed valance
around the bottom. and if done in
the color scheme Of the room will
appear to have been an important
part of the original plan.
An old chest OF drawers with
standard mirror may have the mir
ror hung on the wall. the decora-
tiorf and gingerbread" removed
from the chest so that its outline
lis simplifed and with coat of
paint look as though 1t belonged
to this generation. An attractive
draped dressing table may be made
by attaching a shelf to the wall
tacking a skirt around it. placing
a glass over decorative fabric on
the top and hanging mirror above
1t.
It's not the value of the furnish
ings Of your house, It is the way you
use them that makes the difference
Keep a weather eve out for the new
and original things you may do to
your house to make it your own.

A survivors description of the SUBJ
marine that sank the Robin Moor
indicated today that it was medi-
um 517-ton type commissioned by
Germany in 1888 and 1899, although
others of the same type may have
been subsequently constructed.
The class has no particular name,
but includes at least 81 craft, num-
bered U-45 to U-55, U-69 to U-76,
U-83 to U-87 and U-93 to U-99,
inclusive.
These are the only submarines
pictured in James Fighting Ships,
authoritative naval publication,
which answer the description given
at Capetown by Robert Taylor, Sec
ond mate of the Robin Moor, of q
submarine with "a coming tower
higher than it was long"
These submarines also tally with
Mr.. Taylor's description in another
detail all mounting 3.5-inch gun
forward and 1-pound anti-aircraft
gun aft.
Submarines of this group carry a
normal complement of IS officers
and men. They are 213A feet long,
have a beam of 1929 feet and draft
of 13 feet In addition to deck guns,
the armament includes five 21-inch
torpedo tubes-four in the bow and
one astern. Their rated speed h

Niles Trammell president of the

today the Federal Communications
Commission sought domination" of
network broadcasting through re-
cently-issued anti-monopoly regula-
tions.
"The worst domination that could
be visited upon public opinion is
domination by political commits

The N. B. C. head testified at a

the radio chain to dispose of its

petroleum industry will gather here
tomorrow, at Mr.. Ickes' invitation.
In announcing the prospective in
crease in East Coast supply, Mr..
Ickes said:
The diversion of these tankers to
the Gulf to East Coast routes in
wolves a sacrifice by the two COM
panies concerned, and will also cause
them considerable inconvenience
and financial loss.
However. they have agreed to
the arrangement as temporary
measure in the interests of national
defense, and, as petroleum CO.
ordinator, I wish to express my ap-
probation of their cooperation in
lessening, to some extent, the pros
pective East Coast shortage" o.
The oil company officials partici-
pating in the conferences preceding
Mr.. Ickes' announcement were j.
Howard Pew, president, and Arthur
E. Pew. jr., vice president, OF Sun
Oil, and j. L. Hanna, vice president
of Standard of California.
Survey of Idle Oil Cars.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Ickes had under
consideration a survey of available
oil tank cars that may be used to
supply the East.
Spokesman said Mr.. Ickes is con-
sidering calling a conference to ex-
plore the possibilities of using the
idle cars to meet refined products
for East Coast consumption needs.
Early this week it was declared
that at least 10000 idle tankers are
available for carrying petroleum.
j. Pelley. president of the Asso-
citation of American Railroads. yes
terday reaffirmed his statement that
this rolling stock was available,
adding that this figure represented
cars owned by tank corporations,
oil companies and the railroads.
The $4,000 tank cars reported idle
could handle at least 200 900 barrels
of oil daily, Mr.. Pelley said, adding
that this figure could be increased
to 5000, 900 barrels a month if the
cars were operated seven days a
week.
1000 Idle Cars Estimated.
John w. Frey, associate director of
the Interior Departments Division
of Petroleum Conservation, said fig
ures given him by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the
American Railway Car Institute
listed 147,038 tank cars on hand.
AS most of these cars are not
under the ownership of the railroads,
the I. c. c. has no definite check
on the number of idle tankers.
However, he said. his information
indicated there were approximately
1000 in this category.
I. c. c. officials supplemented
this statement in pointing out that
the estimate of 1000 idle tankers
was based only on reports of cars
actually on railroad tracks and not
in repair shops or on private spur
lines.
