Carl Hubbell, Giant hurler, will attempt to win his third straight series opener, pitching against Yan- kee Gomez. Never, it appears, have two more complacent ball clubs met in a world series contest since the an- nual fall follies was inaugurated in 1903. Neither team is unduly ex- cited, but the series promises to be hard fought and exciting every foot of the way. Both teams are fit, and both teams confident that they hold a fistfull of aces. Today they are holding final workouts and tomorrow they meet on the battlefield. Indications are that the opening day attendance will not be much more than 50,000 fans. e Three Thousand | Appla_ud Petain PARIS, Oct. 5.—Three thousand American Legionnaires and French War Veterans today heard Marshal Petain acknowledge the justice of Gen.

Path to Heaven CHICAGO, Oct. 5.—Police Officers rchardt and Dean entered the alley with pistols drawn to in- vestigate complaints that a man lurked in the shadows Put up your hands,” they shout- ed when they spied a figure moving in the deepest shadows. Then they turned their flashlights on the man. There stood Paul Haradon, Chi- chago amateur astronomer, with his homemade telescope trained on the constellations. “I was just making some heavenly observations,” he stammered. “I had picked this alley so the street lights would not interfere with the light from the stars.” The policemen left him there - the first of Old St. “MNy's church at Bur- lington, N.

In Radio TONE’S THE THING The function of radio is accurate reproduction of broadcast pro- grams; the main thing to con- sider in buying a radio is tone. Many other things enter in, of course, like modern, beautiful cabinet design, easy, accurate tuning, and getting many sta- tions the world over clearly. For all these things, There Is Noth- ing Finer Than a Stromberg- Carlson. But what we emphasize is the glorious Natural Tone of a Stromberg-Carlson, made pos- sible by the Labyrinth.

Their functions are different. They do not conflict or overlap Both are designed to be perman- ent agencies of the Federal Gov- ernment. | The United States Housing Au- thority was created by Act of Con-| gress, commonly known as the Wag- ner-Steagall law, and approved by | President Roosevelt on September | 1, 1937. Its purpose, as defined in| the title of the Act, is to “provide financial assistance to the States the elimination of unsafe and in-| sanitary housing conditions, for the eradication of slums, for the pro- vision of decent, safe, and sanitary and for the reduction of unemploy- ment and the stimulation of busi- ness activity, to create a United | |States Housing Authority, and for adv. other purposes.” The United States Housing Au-| thority is designed primarily to pro- for whom private industry cannot’ provide suitable housing.

Ickes. The Federal Housing Administra- tion was established more than three years ago. The National Housing Act, creating the FHA, was signed by President Roosevelt on June 27, 1934. Its declared purpose is to en- courage improvement in housing standards and conditions and to establish a sound system of home financing. A distinctive feature of the FHA is that it makes no loans or grants of public money. It simply insures loans for home financing made by banks, savings, building and loan as- soclations and other private lend- ing institutions. The FHA is an independent agency of the Federal Government. It is headed by Stewart McDonald, whose title is Federal Housing Ad- ministrator. MRS.
