Rather than endang5r the dis
Cussions by any early clash with
the So;iets over that issue. the
American delegation is likely 10

unless someone else brings it up.
However. the American position

lions. large and small.
Hull is going TO emphasize that
the Willingness of the American
people TO support this country's
participation in "A world security
system will depend on whether
they approve the foreign policies
pursued by the other major Allied
powers.
H. TO-. example Russia should at
tempt to dominate the political fu-
ture Of Europe or otherwise pursue
foreign policy that shocked the
American people. Secretary Hull is
likely to point out there would be
little hope Of Congress supporting
Americas participation in mutual
defens- pact that helped protect
the Soviet Union.
II. On the other hand the Soviet
government agrees TO accept the
American rules of conduct for a
sane society OF nations, Hull Will
assure the Russians they can
count on L. S. support for world
security system regardless OF what

Old Homes Can Be Turned
Into MuItifamiIy Units

In every town there are many
old homes which are lneconomical
to maintain ror single family. but
which can be. converted into multi
family residences with compare
lively little cost. One such home
has been made into three revenue
producing apartments. The only
exterior alterations were a few
changes in window locations.
The rear of the house was made
into four-room apartment. with
kitchen and dining room on the
first floor and bedroom and bath
on the second floor. The front part
oil the house on each floor became
a three-room apartment. The
major changes were converting the
halls on each floor into a bath and
adding the necessary plHH}bing.

take into consideration in making
comparisons, the size of Detroit
then and now. To Substantiate my

limits for sos per acre and sub
divided IT into fve-acre parcels
that sold out completely at from
$500 to $3.50 per acre in less than
30 days. During the past year we
sold 100 acres in parcels of from
four TO 10 acres. within two miles
of where we sold in 1915. at a
price of from SIS 10 $500 per acre.
And for l. years or more the city
