Stevenson, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, heads the list of speakers scheduled for the seventh district conference of the United States Building and Loan | League in Chicago next Saturday.

Cary D. Landis, attorney general for Florida, recently decided that a deed conveying real estate for public use is subject to the Florida stamp tax. He said, in part: “In my opinion, master's deed-con- veying property to a municipality for delinquent taxes due said municipality is required to have the documentary stamp provided by chapter 15787, acts of 1931, regardless of whether the mu- nicipality pays such tax. The act in itself makes no exception in favor of municipalities and, under authority of the case of City of Lakeland et al. vs. Amos, recently decided, and City of Palm Beach vs. Amos, 130 So. 710, it is my opinion that a municipality is not exempt from the payment of such An UNUSUAL HOME on $350 CASH 3604 QUE Chevy Ch: —By Gina Kaus— (COPYRIGHT, 1033, BY GINA KAUA) INSTALLMENT XXVIIL P to the late evening hours the Columbia was in almost con- tinuous wireless communication with New York and Berlin. Kohler, the wireless operator, had to be in continual communication in regard to inquiries about the quota- tions of German Shipping, Ltd. Trau- gott was standing with a chalk in his hand beside his blackboard in the ar- cade among curious people who were watching how the shares were rising point by point. 130—turned up at 6 o'clock. ‘The other shops in the arcade did not close as they were accustomed to do at this time of day. They kept open while the rich women and men whd were standing about inactively were buying from their winnings in thou- sands whatever met their eye first. “Stephanson will pay for it al satd Judge Pyrker, and bought his wife an evening wrap of undyed broadtail. “Stephanson will pay for it all,” said her most intimate friend, Seraphine Himmelreich of Dortmund, and she bought herself the marvelous ermine stole with the first money she had ever earned for herself in her life. “Stephanson will pay for it all” so the rumor ran from mouth to mouth. Mr. Traugott took his chalk, wiped away 130 and wrote down 150. During this period Mr. Exl sold most half of his stock and the dress- makers, Hartwich & Graf, most of their models. The women presented each other with Chinese vases and lizard- skin handbags, and the men bought endless flowers for the women. This mad turmoil of buying lasted up to dinner, and then nearly everybody drank champagne. When at 9 o'clock the great costume ball began, everybody from the very beginning was in a mad mood. As a result it happened that when Stephanson entered the ball room he was met by a many-voiced, spon- taneous “Hurrah.” The jazz orchestra, infested by the general enthusiasm, plaved a special flourish of trumpets. Stephanson did not apply this tribute to himself. He imagined that it was on Friederike’s account, and, actually, it was true, at least among the men, that many of them cried “Hurrah” and rose up because Friederike this night was so indescribably beautiful. She wore the black shawl of gossamer silk wrapped tightly around her body; her arms and shoulders were bare, without flaw, like her divine, pale face, over which the slender silver sickle of a new moon hovered. The captain, old Great,” and she opened the ceremony. They danced a waltz, not particularly well, but, because everybody was in a good humor, they got abundant ap- plause. A few moments later everybody was daneing—really everybody. There was a general spontaneous relaxation. The costumes lent greater freedom to the women and many even wore masks. “I want a dance, too” said Luise Clemens to Thomas, and it didn't help him at all that he insisted he was a bad dancer. When old “Frederick the Great” took his lady away from him he worked his way with difficulty back to his table among the dancing couples. e brushed a bare shoulder, excused himself, and the mouth beneath a heavy mask said, “No matter.” A moment later dancing men and women were be- tween him and this shoulder, which he seemed to recognize—Sybil! He tried to force his way through toward it, when suddenly the music stopped, and from the platform “Frederick the Great” announced: “The famous soprano, Mme.

He felt lonely. “Bravo!” The arla was at an end. Wild applause. Luise bowed. There was no end to the clapping of hands. “‘Tosca,’” Luise cried over her shoulder to Viadimir.

There was elan in it, and a certain dreami- ness. One could easily understand why a woman should adore him for his own sake, even if she had no debt-ridden father and no incurable brother. One must be just, and admit that the divine order of the world would not be shaken because the most beautiful woman in it belonged to Stephanson. “Bravo!” The aria was at an end. Wild applause. Luise bowed. She wanted Viadimir to take his share of the Applause, but he refused. Then Francis Hansom went on the platform and improvised a little interview which he was going to wireless to his paper in the morning. As a result, a couple of dozen newspaper men would be wait- ing at the pier for Luise. She told him very fluently about her high artistic position in Germany, and that for the last six years she had been eager to get on the theater stage; also that she might have married a prince of the @ house of Hohenzollern if she had been willing to give up the stage. Then she asked Hansom if he wouldn't be good enough to write something about Viad- imir also, one of the greatest geniuses among the young European composers. ‘What was more, he was a real Russian prince, and had almost been killed by the bolsheviks. Meanwhile people had begun to dance once more. to the bar. He kissed Luise’s hand.

That’s why it's such a help to the youngsters if you set aside a section of your home as & study room. If you would do your utmost to foster those nigh grades on report cards, however, your next job is to make that room just as attractive as you possibly can so that it will be pleasant work there. 1It’s wise to select a color for the walls that is restful to the eyes and yet pleas- antly stimulating—a soft blue-green, a light creamy yellow or a warm buff.
