By the Associated Press. Public Works officials said today “a typical cross-section of America's wage earners” could be found in the tenant list at Techwood Homes, Atlanta, P. W. A’s first slum clearance project. Of 153 families already placed in | the housing project, they said the age less than $25 a week. ‘They represent about 80 trades— bell hops, mechanics, boilermakers, beauty operators, truck drivers, clerks, glass cutters, and a long list of others. The report on tenants disclosed clerks of various kinds outnumbered the other trades. Service men were second, followed in order by office helpers, salesmen and small business operators. P. W. A. limited the tenants to those whose incomes were as low as five times the apartment rental. The lowest rate for living quarters in the development is $16.40 a month. Leases have been signed by 194 families, less than one-third of the project’s capacity. Those certified as eligible for tenancy total 321. Housing officials said they intended to use experience at Techwood as the | basis for fixing rentals and regula- tions at 50 other low-rent housing and slum clearance projects in 35 cities. FOUNDATION.LACKING IN ANCIENT CHURCH Wet Clay and Chalk Support Lofty Arches of British Cathedral. LONDON (#).—Craftsmen of nine centuries ago have left a puzzle for modern architects here, with the rev- elation that the massive Norman structure of St. Albans Cathedral, in Hertfordshire, has no foundations at all. Nothing but wet clay and chalk support the lofty arches and huge buttresses of the north transept, it was disclosed when trenches were dug at the base of the walls in an attempt to find the source of water flowing into the church. The walls have stood since the twelfth century, with no signs of cracking. JOB OF COUIJTING SHEEP WON'T BE SO SOPORIFIC Arizona Forest Rangers Assigned Task of Counting Big Horns. TUCSON, Ariz. (#).— Counting sheep is usually considered a sleep producer, but forest rangers expect they will have to be very wide awake indeed if they succeed in the task assigned them in the Catalina Moun- tains, near here. They are attempting a count of wild big-horn sheep, which stay in the most inaccessible heights.

TWO JAWS DISLOCATED BETTER THAN ONLY ONE Thoroughness Is to Be Desired in Yawning Accidents, Doctor Holds. PASADENA, Calif. ®.—If you must dislocate you jaw while yawn- ing, it's better fo dislocate both sides than just one. Dr. E. A. Gummig evolved this dic- tum after treating two Pasadena citi= zens in as many days for dislocated jaws they acquired while yawning. For instance, Elmo Smalley, 27, dislocated both sides, and it was prac- tically no trick at all for Dr. Gummig to snap the Smalley jaw back in place at the Emergency Hospital, But the other yawner dislocated one side and had to be sent to the regular hos- pital.

PEACE CONGRESS HAILED BY DANIELS Envoy to Mexico Envisages It as Spur. to Better Americai Feeling. (This is the twelfth of a series of articles on the “New Pan-Amer- icanism” and the forthcoming Peace Congress at Buenos Aires.) BY BRENT DOW ALLINSON. Josephus Danlels, United States Am- bassador to Mexico, on the occasion of a recent visit to this country lauded the peace congress to be held at Buenos Alres this Fall as a spur to better feel- ing among nations of the Western Hemisphere and to world peace. “I am glad,” said Mr. Daniels, “that ‘The Star is taking a proper interest in this notable projected gathering of the American nations at Buenos Aires. In view of alarming events abroad, this meeting of American minds in the ‘Western Hemisphere may be the most important international event in many years. Indeed, long shadows are being cast before the event by the light of the rising pan-American ideal, and the leaders and principal journals of Mexico and Central America are look- ing toward it with an expectancy of hope and interest which promises much for world peace and more for the peace of the 21 affiliated American republics. Suggestion Accepted Promptly. “The best augury that out of the Buenos Aires Conference there will develop measures of closer co-operation and surer guarantees of peace is seen in the prompt acceptance by the heads of the 21 nations of President Roose- velt's suggestion of that conference. In his invitation to the heads of gov- ernments, departing from the custom- ary diplomatic processes, President Roosevelt said: ‘I cherish the sincere conviction that the moment has now arrived when the American republics, through their designated representa- tives seated at a common council table, should seize the favorable opportunity | to consider their joint responsibility and common need of rendering less - tilities between them, and, by so doing. serve in an eminently practical man- this Western continent.” He expressed the belief that the conference would ‘advance the cause of world peace.’ “President Cardenas voiced the spirit accepting the invitation to participate, he said that he views with favor the opportunity to discuss pan-American problems ‘on an elevated plane of serenity and on a basis of absolute equality for all countries’ and he | therefore determined ‘to offer the most enthusiastic co-operation for the reali- zation of your noble idea.’ Castillo to Head Mexicans. “You do well to seek out the views | of some of my diplomatic colleagues | from Latin America, like Dr. Castillo Mexican delegation at the conference | at Buenos Aires and who sp-aks for a remarkable nation of more than 16,000,000 souls, whom the forces of history have made our nearest Span- ish-speaking neighbor, and whom the skill and vision of American states- manship ought to bind close to us in .unbroken democratic fellowship in perpetuity. “Unfortunately, we know less about our Mexican neighbors than we ought to, and often fail to appreciate the wonderful beauty, the undeveloped natural resources and noble cultural heritage of the Mexican people. It is the hope of people on both sides of the Rio Grande, which is in many places s0 narrow and shallow that it can be waded across at some sea- river bed, now jointly undertaken by Mexico and the United States, will prevent floods and create a permanent, settled boundary that will unite rather than divide the two countries. “The American investment of around a billion dollars is a large stake in Mexico and a binding tie, as is the presence of over 12,000 citizens of the United States who reside and work there, seeking commercial op- portunities along many lines, from turpentine groves to industrial plants, as well as mines of minerals and pe- troleum. There is a steady and grati- fying growth of trade between us and Mexico, both of imports and exports. Merchandise exported from the United States to Mexico in 1934 amounted to $55,061,282—and increased to $65,- 576,275 in 1935, an increase of $10,- 514,993—in the course of one year. This march of increase is continuing in 1936; the first five months of this year show an increase of $3,156,000 over the corresponding period of 1935. This is at the rate of about $631,200 a month, and serves to indicate the high potentialities of foreign trade as a factor in economic recovery. “Our merchandise imports from Mexico have similarly increased from about $35.495,000 in 1934, to $42,325,~ 000 in 1935, and the increase has cone tinued in the first five months of the present year at a rate of $686,600 a month. 151,655 Reported Jobless. “I am told that today there are only 151,655 men recorded on the list of the unemployed in Mexico. 1 am not prepared to vouch for the ac- curacy of the figure but very little is heard of the unemployment situation. ‘The Mexican government is giving employment to a large number on its big road construction programs and other public works. More building is going on in Mexico City, according to recent American visitors, than in any city of like population in the United States. An increased production of oil and silver ‘has contributed to in- creased employment; and and in- crease of wages of about 16 per cent, due to payment for one day of rest, has brought an increased demand for goods and resulted in larger retail and wholesale movement. The production of the principal metals in 1935 showed s substantial increase over 1934, with the exception of copper. Gold and silver production likewise increased, ADULTS, 40c CHILDREN, 25¢ Includes Towel and Locker INSTRUCTION- 6 Lessons, $5.00 Individual Instruction LILLIAN CANNO English Channel Swimmer AMBASSADOR SWIMMING POOL SOCIETY. (21,223 kilograms | produced in 1935); al- an increase of oil production due in part to the opening of new flelds. “Progress has been made in impor- tant agreements between the United States and Mexico in the past three years of my service as Ambassador. Among the more important may be mentioned the treaty covering the settlement en bloc of the special claims presented by our Government, upon which $1,000,000 has been paid to us by Mexico, & protocol relative to claims under the General Claims Commission, a treaty providing for assistance of vessels and salvage and & treaty for the protection of migra- tory birds and game mammals. “Mexico’s foreign trade balance is most favorable. Her exports jumped from 464,000,000 pesos in 1930 to 750,- 000,000 pesos in 1935. Her imports were 350,000,000 pesos in the former year and 406,000,000 pesos in the lat- ter. Bank deposits doubled, approxi- mately, in the same period. Mexico ranked as our best merchandise cus- tomer in the Western Hemisphere below the Rio Grande in 1935 and purchased from us in that year almost as much as Italy. Indeed, Mexico and Cuba together, our nearest Latin American neighbors, purchased more merchandise from us in 1935 than Italy, France or Germany. In speak- ing of Mexico’s foreign trade balance it is interesting to note that in 1935 American tourists and border crossers spent approximately $35,000,000 in Mexico, which was about 53 per cent of the value of merchandise purchases made by Mexico from the United States during that year. “Great strides have been made in liquidating illiteracy by the estab- lishment of thousands of rural schools and the construction of several thou- sand miles of good roads, including the wonderful highway from the | Texad border to the capital city of Mexico, which was dedicated July 1-4 last with appropriate ceremonies. This is an important section of the grandiose project of the Pan-Ameri- can Highway, which signalizes the gradual development of the American continent and its growing intercom- | munication. “All of these facts and forces pro- vide a happy augury for the work of | the coming political conference of the | American peoples at Buenos Aires and | their eloser consolidation in the in- | terest of peace.” Marriage Licenses.

Adult patients at Tuberculosis Hose pital, an institution conducted by the Rehabilitation Service of the Tubers culosis Association of Washington, have entered their second half year of free vocational training. Officials of the hospital have urged patients to regard their hospitaliza- tion period as a challenge to prepare for a saf. job suitable to their physical and mental abilities after the disease has “een arrested. The special train- ing courses have been conducted by Joseph McGroary, whose report was released yesterday by Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, managing director of the ase sociation. Mrs. Grant pointed out that 72 patients were aided by the hospital during the past six months, classified as follows: Employment obtained, 18; financial aid, 14; special medical 4reatment, 6; child placement, 14; X-ray examinations, 6; hospitalization of family members, 2; clothing, 1. “Since offering this service,” the re- port said, “there have been requests for assistance, other than those in training, from 40 patients or ex- patients resident in our own and other sanatoria.” Mrs. Grant said that “little ate tention was paid until quite recently to the sad fact that in a large num- ber of instances tuberculosis sufferers who after careful sanatorium treat ment have been pronounced by physicians as arrested cases, have ex- perienced relapses into dangerous and fatal stages of the disease due to their re-entry into the field of in- dustry with improperly selected jobs and bad working conditions. “These numerous relapsed cases thus thrown back on the community for care and hospitalization do in- volve a huge sum of money which the public must pay in the form of taxa- tion or otherwise.” O’NEILL’S SON EDITS COLLEGE NEWSPAPER Active Also in Athletics and The- atricals at Florida Mili- tary Academy. | By the Associated Press.

More than 50 pounds of dynamite were required at Ince, England, to bring down Britain’s tallest chimney, which weighed 5,000 tons and contain= ed 1,000,000 bricks, and which was de= stroyed because the ironworks it once served had been abandoned.
