Mr. Taylor was still at work as a crane operator at an automoblle plant at $5 a day when Mrs. Taylor was making an unsuccessful attempt to pitch the tent against the high wind. A week earlier, their total wealth amount- ing to $20, they had put $10 on a lot, assumed & $90 note payable in 30 days to complete the down payment, and cast covetous eyes on a four-room house standing on an adjacent lot. This “tremendous” transaction left the Taylors with just $7. Pay day was two weeks distant, the $90 note loomed large before them, but modern Mrs. Taylor, age 24, had made the family plans. They would live on their hold- ings, in & shaky tent, until they could buy the house so “we would have a suitable home fcr our children. Made Good Note on Lot. “We made good our note on the lot, bought a $5 option on the house, paid $125 on it in July and moved in on July 15, writes Mrs. Taylor in the National Association of Real Estate Board's con- test for the best letters on “How I Got My Home.” In the meantime they lived in the tent.

In line with President Hoover's recent declarations that a resumption of home building would greatly aid in returning pmsg:rn.y by circulating money and putting unemployed building trades workers and manufacturers to work, the Real Estate Association has attempted through its contest to show thepublic that people ordinarily called poor can have homes if they want them.

She saw,. with a little nervous shrink- ing, that it was Ethan, but when he turned to greet her there was none of the covert antagonism she had always felt under his manner. and friendliness he had half hidden or held out and snatched back before were here now, with no hiding. Perhaps it was because he was in his own house. As friendly, as human and simple as his mother had been, he looked at her, the curious long gray eyes narrowing into a friend's smile. “You are better? I am so glad.” ‘The words were commonplace enough, actuality that Helen accepted with a feeling of peace. -At least this trouble was gone. Perhaps Ethan felt a sympathy for anybody who had been jilted. . . . No, she wouldn’t think about that all the time! She smiled back at him unconsciously on her side, without any affectation of the stage flapper. “I feel like a cool million. I don't know when I've had such a rest. I love your grandmother’s room—wasn't it?” “'Yes, it was. You'd either like it or hate it. Her personality is so strong in it still that I believe peo?le who sleep there might almost be calling on grand- mother. He spoke as to some one who would understand his language. Yes, they were friends. He was taking her in as one of his own kind. “I felt as if I were bick home." She gave him back friendship for friend- ship in those simple spoken words. They ‘were not antagonists, suddenly. “Did_you?" His voice was interes “Yes. You would.” He looked at hel suddenly, as if he had not seen her lil this before, as if he were secing some thing new. She wondered why; so far as she knew she was just the same. ‘Then she realized that she had seen some one different in him, though the proud, easy figure, the strong grace and the gray eyes were not changed. They were on common ground. They loved and knew the same things. The Ethan whose grandmother had owned the same green cloth set of George Eliot and put her feet on the same Brussels has- socks that Helen's grandmother had. the Ethan .whose great-grandparents had been simple and heroic and senti- mental about the same Civil War, and Who had told the same jokes about President Willlam Henry Harrison as Helen's was more than her friend.

ROME, February 7.—Michele Schirru, arrested Tuesday night for possession of firearms and explosives, confessed yesterday, police said, that he had plan- ned an attempt on the life of Premier Mussolini. He had brought two high-explosive bombs here for that purpose, police said he had told them. Schirru was arrested after a gun fight with police and there were rumors at the time that he had planned an at- tempt on Mussolini's life, but these were denied by the authorities. The police said Schirru drew a re- volver while he was being searched at the police station, wounded three po- licemen and attempted suicide, inflict- ing a serious wound in the head. In the rooms which he occupied at two hotels police said they found two bombs so constructed as to be used either with time or percussion fuses. ‘The man was born in Sardinia, but | had traveled extensively. In his alleged confession Schirru was reported to have said he had been an anarchist for years, but began thinking of plans to assasinate Mussolini last Summer while he was in Paris. He went to Belgium and got the materials with which he made the bombs. Then, the police s he came to Rome resolved to kill the premier and began plotting the best way to do it before he fell afoul of the authorities. He is recovering from his self-inflicted wound and will be tried by a special tri- bunal under the defense of the state act, which provides a death penalty for the crimes of which he is accused.

REAL ESTATE. LLOYD GEORGE HOLDS MORE POWER THAN RIVAL LEADERS War-Time Premier Has Fate of Government Within His Grasp. Surpasses Both Baldwin and MacDonald Through Small Liberal Group. : By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, February 7.—More than | Ramsay MacDonald, more than Stanley | Baldwin, or any other of a dozen Brit- | ish political leaders, one man, David | Lloyd George, Britain’s wartime pre- muer, today holds the fate of British politics in his hands. Leader of a small coterie of Liberals in the House of Commons, he has been | able to throw enough votes tothe Labor | government to keep it in office—but— and it is like the sword of Damocles over the head of Prime Minister Mac- Donald—he could ¥ he wished at any sitting of the Commons turn the votes to the opposition and turn the min- istry out. Unmoved at the most scathing criti- cism of his wielding of the balance of power, Mr. Lloyd George continues to criticize both ministry and the Con- servative opposition, but in return for some of the things he wants—such as the electoral reform measure now be- fore the Commons—he is keeping the government in office.

I am consoled, however, by the fact that these gang- ster treaties, under which third parties are to be bumped off or taken for a | ride. rarely ever last. st few years have seen a great change in Lloyd George. Once the crit- icism was made of him that he was slovenly and untidy. Now he is dapper and immaculate. His snow-white ir, which reaches almost to his shoulders, is brushed carefully back' from his high forehead. Formal morning dress of impeccable cut is his favorite wear and as the final touch of distinction the broad black ribbon of his pince-nez hangs like & band of some order across his _chest. No one, not even Winston Churchill, attracts the House of Commons as an orator as does Lloyd George. He be- | gins a speech quietly and speaks for the first few minutes in the hypnotic, | almost sing-song cadence of his race. | As he warms to his theme and speaks | more rapidly metaphors of supreme aptness creep into his discourse.

NEW YORK, February 7.—The hint of impending indictments hung over the investigation of the suspended Bank of United Stafes yesterda: Max D. Steuer, in his capacity as as- sistant district attorney, is expected to 80 before the county grand jury with a mass of evidence which, he intimated yesterday, showed that $250,000 was stolen from the bank in transactions with its subsidiaries. Referring to loans totaling $875.000 to the Abenad Realty Corporation, a subsidiary of the bankrupt Bancus Cor- poration, Steuer asked of Isidor J. Kre- sel, a director of the bank, whether and the ‘“stealing of §250,000" had not been involved in those deals. Kresel replied that the sum was “in compensation for services” rendered by Abe N. Adelson, president of the com- pany. “You would regard it as reprehensi- ble if there had been any personal profit out of the losses to the bank?” Steuer pressed. “Of course, if that were’ true,” was the reply. “But if the $250,000 was stolen from the bank—what about that?” was the next question. “I didn’t stand guard over the bank's vault,” Kresel answered. The lengthy session was filled with acrimonious exchanges. At one point Kresel accused Steuer of threatening him and at another Steuer said he did not intend to be browbeaten. It ended with Kresel promising to co-operate with Steuer in publishing a complete list of judges and officials who borrowed money from the bank. More than 3,000 radio telephone calls were made between the Nether- lands and the Netherland East Indies last year.
