New York, Feb..26.—Enrico Caruso, just awake after a refreshing sleep in his apartment at the Hotel Vander- bilt, invited me to draw a chair close to his bed. es ¢ “Two greet moments stand out in my life,” said the tenor, smiling. “The first was in 1894, when I made my debut at the Nuovo theater; Naples. in I'Amico Francesco, an@ after four performances old Verginie, the direc- tor, Said J was underpaid because all they gave me was a pair of shoes, a pair of tights, a necker-chief and one hundred francs. i. “And again, the other day, when the doctors said I would get well, ~ “You see,” he continued, “I fooled the doctors. “Pouf! ‘Caruso isn't ready to sing to the angels yet!

Perhaps the chief reason for this has been the economic factor, Houses which cost three or four times as much to build as before the war, can not obviously let or sell at prewar figures. Neveztheless, gecording to govern- ment statistics, some 60,000 new houses were started in 1920 and the number contracted for has risen during the ; year from 10,400 (0 133,301. One striking feature ot the effort to provide“houses is a housing scheme conducted by-the office. of works, which was empowered to spend §30,- 000,000 spread over eighteen months. | Its operations started in Camberwell, a. South London borough, An ar- rangement was made by which the office of works supplied the plans, ma- | terial and supervision, while the local | Federation of Trades unions supplied the labor and the borough council as- sumed respofsibility for the finances. | The plan worked smoothly. andhouses were built for $3,900 apiece, !a saving | of at least $1,000, making a total sav- | ing to tax of $2,000,000. This | scheme may become the embryo of a | state building department, The financial. difficulties connected with the housing problem have been responsible for the creation by local authorities of interest-bearing “hous- ing bonds,” which are in some locali- tles a fairly popular investment. In the north of England, concrete | houses have become popular, as ma- their erection. In some parts of Lon- don, too, such_houses have been built recently, owing to the ‘shortage of bricks, the high rate of wages and other difficulties, DESERTS.

Keller, bookkeeper for the Drake mill, which resulted in an anti- climax because Mr. Paddock’s own witness admitted that the item had not been posted.at the time that the audit was made and that the only memoranda regarding it was the voucher which Mr, Aultman had al- ready testified. Mr. Aultman maintained through- out the examination that he had been unable to get the records necessary to coyiplete the audit and therefore was not able to make a complete re- port.
