All interested in modern home construction, design and decoration are cordially invited by The Star and the Operative Builders' Association, which are co-operating in the home demon- stration, to visit this house today or during its month of exhibition. Last Sunday a veritable stream of wvisitors, estimated at about 3,000, passed through the first of the series of Star model homes, located on Kennedy drive in Kenwood, Md., and prepara- tions have been made to recsive a great throng at the Leland home today. Four other model homes of the series will be opened during succeeding weeks and each will be open for a period of a month. Easy Access to Home. The Leland dwelling, especially de- signed and built for the demonstration by the firm of M. & R. B. Warren, is easily accessible by automobile and street car. The house is reached by driving out Connecticut avenue to Leland street, left on Leland to Forty- sixth street, then right on Forty-sixth to Elm street. The house faces this intersection. The home also may be reached by driving out Wisconsin avenue to Leland street, right one block to Forty-sixth street and then left one block to Elm street. Visitors may also take either the ‘Wisconsin avenue or Connecticut ave- nue street cars to Leland street. ‘The Leland model home, a six-room detached dwelling, has all the familiar appeal of the simple dignity of its Colo- nial type. It is the smallest and least expensive of the several detached houses included in the 1929 series of Star model homes. Unpretentious in size, it was designed by Harry L. Edwards with an eye to comfort and convenience and with special attention to structural appearance.

WILL OBSERVE FIRST ; ENGINE CENTENNIAL Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. HONESDALE, Pa., June 1.—Citizens of Honesdale are planning a celebra- tion here on August 8, 9 and 10 to com- memorate the centennial of the first successful operation of a steam-driven locomotive on the Western Hemisphere. The locomotive was the Stourbridge Lion. It was built in England and shij to this country in February, 1829, as the property of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Co., and on August 8 it was put into operation on a three- , mile stretch of track near the scene of the company’s operations at Hones- dale. ‘The first trial run of the locomotive demonstrated conclusively that steam was practical and that the Lion would operate, but officials of the company found that the wooden ralls, covered with a thin strip of iron, could not stand heavy duty and the Lion was never used for practical work. After a second trial the Lion was re- moved from the ralls and stored until 1849, when it was ly dismantled and its boiler used in the company’s shop at Carbondale. * * * Forty years later it became the property of the firm of Lindsay & Early, in Carbondale, and they deposited it in the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington. Several other of the locomotive have been collected and it is now partly restored. At the celebration in August a monu- ment to the locomotive will be dedicated and & transportation parade, depicting all modes of travel from the pioneer settlers’ ox carts to aircraft, will. be held. The ceremonies will be under the direction of the Honesdale Cham- ber of Commerce. CHICKENS GET APARTMENT Coyotes and Thieves Force Farmer to Protect Fowls. HIAWATHA, Kans.

A military band in the castle grounds plays his favorite airs. It was officially stated tonight that he had passed a good day and that his condition con- tinues satisfactory. His physicians vis- ited him for half an hour and one of them explained that the abscess in his chest had developed and broken as an ordinary gum boil might do and that it continues to drain naturally. ‘Thanksgiving services for the recovery of the King, scheduled for June 16, have been indefinitely postponed use, although no complications were looked for, recovery of his majesty will prob- ably require some time. It was stated, however, that the monarch was fully able to attend to such important state duties as may result from the compli- cated poltical situation. ‘The Duke and Duchess of York, after lunching with Queen Mary today, vis- ited and chatted with the King.

SEND FOR BOOKMAP PRODUCTION GAIN Daily Average for April 2,- 670,000 Barrels, 11 Per Cent Over 1928. Production of crude petroleum in the United States continues to increase, de- spite efforts in some quarters to con- trol it, statistics made public today by the Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce, reveal. Output in April reached a total of 80,110,000 barrels or a daily average of 2,670,000. This was a slight increase over the average in March, and an increase of 11 per cent over April, 1928. ‘While Oklahoma showed & small in- crease in daily average production over March, both Texas and California fell | off slightly. Production in Kansas in- | creased sharply. Output in the Texas Gulf Coast area increased due to deeper drilling and extensions which have met with considerable success. Daily average production in Texas, however, fell off to some extent as the increase in out- put of the Salt Flat Fleld was insuffi- cient to balance the decline in West Texas. California Stock Increases. Crude petroleum stocks east of Cali- fornia increased over 1,000,000 barrels in April, compared with an increase of 2,700,000 in March. This increase was entirely in refinery stocks, however, tank-farm stocks decreasing for the first time since November, 1928. Stocks of light crude in California continued to increase, but stocks of heavy crude and fuel oil fell off slightly. Stocks of all oils increased 6,087,000 barrels during April and reached a new high level of 649,617,000 barrels, over half of this increase being in gas oil and fuel stocks held east of California. New High in Refined. A new high level was reached in April in refined products, the daily av- erage run to stills of crude petroleum amounting to 2,682,000 barrels, an in- crease over March, 1929, of 3 per cent, and over April, 1928, of 10 per cent. Daily average gasoline production in April amounted to 1,155,000 barrels, also a new record, an increase over April, 1928, of i8 per cent being attained. Gasoline imports were 822,000 barrels, the highest since October, 1926. Stocks of gasoline on April 30 were 47,015,000 barrels, a decrease from the March revised figure of more than 1,000,000.
