Only two men went aboard the pilot boat from the Morro Cas- tle, he said. Miss Katherine Liebler. Melrose, N.

To add to the testimony that mem- bers of he crew fled the liner early— in lifeboats holding few passengers— came the story of a 16-year-old pas- senger, Lewis Perrine. He told newsmen that as he strug- gled to safety through the smoke, he thought he heard a shot, though he saw an officer standing nearby and a sailor lying on the deck. Acting Captain W. E.

Whit- man, famous housing expert, on the repair and modernization of the home. These articles are intended as a guide in connection with the Federal Housing Ad- ministration’s home renovizing campaign. By ROGER B. WHITMAN Written Especially for NEA Service and The Tribune Some friends of mine, who are al- tering their house on a thin budget, found that there was not enough money for guttersa nd leaders, as weil as for an awning for a terrace. Talking it over, it seemed to them that gutters and leaders would be a waste of money. They remembered hearing people talk of bills for re- painting and for rusted pipe, and that a friend had had trouble when ice formed and tore the gutters loose. I agreed that the awning would be a great addition, but said that, for -the good of the house, the Proper disposal of rainfall would be a better investment. x * ® CAN WORK THROUGH CRACKS A great quantity of water falls on @ roof in a heavy rain; if not taken care of, it runs down the walls.

John |C, Stevenson and Lewis B. Schwel- lenbach were running close, with Charles H. Leavy not too far behind. |The Republican contest was equally close between Reno Odlin and Ralph | A. Horr. Michigan's Democratic governor, William A. Comstock, was apparently renominated, though Arthur J. Lacy {was cutting down the Comstock lead rapidly on returns today from Detroit. The Republicans chose Frank D. Fitzgerald, turning down the bid of Former Governor Alex J. Groesbeck for the nomination. A vigorous “New Dealer,” Frank A Picard, received the Democratic nod for the United States senate. His op- ponent will be Senator Arthur H.

Checkers stationed at 379 points in the state made the check on num- bers of nger car, bus, truck and horse traffic in the state. Plodding Dobbins not only held their own against the automobile, but increased in use during the year, the report shows.
