"Battleweary soldiers and sail

and good food waiting for them
in the countless American Red
Cross Clubs in both England
and France. l found the club
in Cherbourg, France, particu-
larly popular. There men and
women of the Armed Forces
stood in never-ending line for
coffee and doughnuts outside
the doors of the ARC Club. Our
ship took a sizeable group Of
Red Cross girls, both colored
and white, across the Channel
to France. All Of them came
from good homes, had good edu-
cations. yet they slept on cots in
the hold Of the ship and ate c
rationS without complaint. Those
girls later set up clubs which
made life little brighter for

STATE Finance

to be Regulated

LANSING, March 2 - (H1 =
Legislation to impose the first

the Senate soon, State Treasurer
d. Hale Brake said today.
Brake said he had suggested
to the Senate banking commit
tee that since it was sponsoring
bill to shift control of the fl
nance ompanies from the treas
ury department to the banking
department, it also should plug
long existing loop-holes in the
control of such companies.
There never has been any
ceiling on the rates finance
companies might charge" Brake
said, land l am informed Il It in
isolated cases rates have run to
40 or so per cent. Several OF the
larger companies have attempt
ed to get the others to unite on a
model bill but have been unsuc-
cessful in the past"
Brake said the initial draft of
the proposed bill would not fix
rates but would give the bank
ing commissioner power to do
after conducting hearings into
company finances. He said the
legislature might oppose that
grant of authority, however.
Regulatory provisions will in
clude one forbidding kick
backs" to dealers who sell fl
nance paper to the companies,
he said.
Brake said the bill also would
transfer supervision Of invest
ment trusts to the State Corpor-

ton. :,
The committee, at its first meet
ing yesterday in the Biltmore hotel,
began action to obtain both tempo
rary and permanent housing facil-
tiles. Richard H. Smith, committee
chairman, said an executive COM
mittee will be named to study the
current shortage.
A check will be made with mill
tary authorities to learn the avail
ability of any existing housing fa-
cilities "on or connected with mill
tary establishments" that could be
used for temporary relief.
Smith said the executive COM
mittee will be appointed at once
and will meet several times within
the next ten days to start work on
the housing shortage. Proposals
submitted at yesterdays commit
tee meeting will be studied by the
executive group.
Other suggestions receiving ma

included:
Effort to provide facilities for
training of apprentices in building
trades. This is pointed to as an aid
in relieving the shortage of needed
labor.
Investigate possible use Of pre-
fabricated structures in large
quantities.
Study of large-scale housing
development which could be car
ried out through combined efforts
of Dayton builders.
Check with county officials or
the availability of building sites
which could be connected with
utility facilities but which may be
on delinquent tax lists.

 Details of the Shrine event last week in the First City were dis closed here today by J. W. Leivers, local Shrine Club Secretary, who was in Ketchikan during the fes- tivities.
 An Indian Community House, at Mud Eight, 10 miles north of Ket- chikan, furnished a background of totem poles and tribal lore con- trasting the colorful robes of the Shriners for the first section of the work on seven of the candi- dates. A pictured record of the unique rite was made by the talk ing of a number of movie and still shots of the scene, MT. Leivers said. The remainder of the work was given in the Ketchikan Masonic Temple that same evening, pre- ceded by a vivid parade headed by the Ketchikan Shrine band.
 The Divan of Officers from Nile Temple, Seattle, together with Im- perial Potentate Alfred C.. Arvold, came to Ketchikan to hold the ceremonial inducting the 29 can- didates. The party from the States remained in Ketchikan one week, returning to Seattle last Saturday aboard the Princess Louise. Fifty Shriners and wives made up the group.
 The week was filled for the visit ors with fishing. sightseeing, Shrine rites and was climaxed by the Po- tentate's dinner and dance, Friday evening.
