N HONES BT ON SUBURBAN LOTS Movement ol Owners Is Toward Ontskirts New York, Sept. 7 (M—America is rebullding the hastily constructed homes of a rapidly growing coun- try, building them more substan- tially atd away from the crowde city streets. % Construction during the first half of this year broke all records, en- gineering and building cantracts reaching a total in excess of $3,500,- 000,000. The cause of this activity is not to be found in the interrup- tion of building during the war, for any statistically demonstrable build- ing shortage thus caused has been more than recouped for some time, Recent construction has been largely in the replacement of old and worn-out structures, During America’s period of heavy immi- gration and rapid growth, houses and tenements were built hastily with little consideration for per- manancy or comfort. Replacement has forged ahead during the past few yeara. In the first half of this year residential construction totaled more than $1,500,000,000 and was 17 per cent greater than in the like period of last year. ‘ Another marked tendency has been a shift from urban to rural districts. While total figures for the halt year period showed an in- crease of about 8 per cent, the 25 cities reporting the most activity, taken as a separate group, show a total increase of only 5 per cent and include the extraordinary activity in New York city, where the in- crease was about 14 per cent. More than half of the six months’ building was in the east, but the middle west showed the most strik- ing increase. GOLFERS FINDING 18TH HOLE ToUGH Final Hole May Prove Bane of Entries in Cbampionship Play Newton, Mass.,, Sept. 7 UP—he 18th hole at Brae Burn, where the national amateur championship golf tournament will be staged next week, is the toughest one on the difficult course, according to a ma- Jjority of the entries who are on the seene practicing to dethrone Bobby Jones, The concensus is that the hole calls for too much final of a tee shot and an extra ldrge supply of accuracy. About everyone except Jones has, ryined an otherwise good round by gettifig into serious trou- hle on the last lap. ‘The, hole 1s a 437-yarder with a phr of ¢." Bven a long- driver, and the drive must carry 212 yards to avoid troyble, can run into plenty of sorrow. He must avoid rough and trees on both sides of the course and a brook 208 yards from the tee. Al- though the green and pin are in full view on the second shot, they are guarded by traps in fromt, a vough grass depression at the left and & sand trap on the right. Mhny of the 156 entries have played one or more practice rounds and most of the other starters were expected fo arrive today. Major Charles C. Hezlet of the British Walker Cup team, registered here yesterday and reported that the other Englishmen would be here in time to get in a practice round this afternoon. The amateur champion has yet to play 18 countable holes. Since his arrival here, he has been playing several balls on each hole. George Von Elm, of Detroit, considered Jones' strongest challenger, did not fare very well on his firg trip around the course yesterday. He picked up at least three times and, after running into trouble, especially on the long 14th hole, sank his putt for a score that was well in the 80a. Von Elm hit what he considered one of his best drivers and saw it land barely over the far bank of the brook on the 18th fairway. He then predicted that not more then 10 per cent of the field would be able to make the carry. Club offi- cials, however, claim that the ama- teurs have been intimidated by thc ill-repute of the hole and have been pressing their drives. The best practice round to date was by Dave Martin of Los Angeles, who got a 71, stroke under par. Maurice McCarthy, the Georgetown golfer, had a 73. Freddy Wright, the Massachusetts amateur titlist, came back with a 74 after missing three short putts. Bobby Jones was expected to be out trying this afternoon and, with many newcomers on the scene, it was likely that several real low 70s or even under would be chalked up before night. Wall Street Workers Eat Less in Mid-Week © New York, Sept. 7 ()—Wall Street is hungriest on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Why That's what the restaurant proprietors would like to know. Monday is a hard day in the Street, what with the need of re- covering front the week-end ,and food may offer solace. The prox- imity of Thursday and Friday to pay day may explain the increased consumption as far as they are con- cerned. . Saturday is a half-holiday, and few are expected to eat—on the job, at least. But the “meal brok- ars” can't understand the indiffer- ence to nourishment on Tuesday and Wednesday. MARYS MEET Crawfordsville, Ind., Sept. 7.

E. Depny, re- segrch director of the Boice Thomp- son Institute at Yonkers, believes it poasible to produce two crops a sea- son. Dr. Denny tald members of the society of chemical industry that chemical treatment of certain plants during the annual dormancy, or “rest period,” had almest the ef- fect of an alarm clock upon a sleep- ing person. The plants, he said, were thus awakened almest imme- diately to vigorous growth during the several months nature had set aside as time for their complete relaxation. By placing lilacs in a room filled with chemical vapors for 24 to 48 hours he had caused them to bloom before Christmas, he said, some- thing they had never done before in this part of the country. He ex- pected this season to produce a sec- ond crop of Irish potatoes from the seed potatoes of the first crop. Dr. Denny asserted that if these methods proved worthy of general adoption it- would mean material gain for the farmer through two crops in a season, would enable the horticulturist to meet the Christmas demand for gertain flowers not now obtainable at that season and pro- vide more liberal supplies of food and flowers for the public. Potatoes, he said could be treat- 4d for 5 to 10 cents & bushel and plants for ope to five cents a plant. . o Moaey in Bills said To Belong To Revenue ‘Agent Who i Arrestod In Counnection With Extartion. New York, Sept. 7 UM—Ten thou- sand dollars in bills which authori- ties described as the first installment of a $35,000 extortion fee was found in the straw hat of an internal rev- enue agent, and today he and a fel- low agent were under arrest. The agents were Edward F. Brown and Elmer F. Andrews, who were accused by Reginald W. Rag- land, cpunsel for an unnamed Wall Street ‘toncern, to have agreed to approve the firm's claim for & $250,000 tax reduction if they were paid $35,000. agland notified revenue authori- ties' of the proposal, and investiga- tors listened in on conferences be- tween the agents and the attorney. Brown and Andrews were arrested yesterday as they left Bagland's of- fice where authorities said the two men were paid $10,000 ‘on ac- count.” Andrews said he had no idea how | the $10,000 in bills ranging from $50 to $500 got in his hat. “Some- body must have slipped it there,” he said. Both men were held under bail for hearing Wednesday after they were arranged before a federal commissioner, By the treaty of Paris closing the Spanish-American war the United States agreed to admit, for a period of ten years, Spanish ships and mer- chandise to the Philippine islands on the same terms as American ships and mefchandhle‘ .THE NEW FRIGIDAIRE Greater New Britain Tel. 3600 2217 beauty Greater convenience Greater ice freezing power with ' ' .

Under the grouping of seeded players, announced by the United States Golf association, Bobby Jones, thrice a holder of the title and the defending champion this year, is = oe————— 14 seeded in the lower bracket of the draw, while in the upper half will be George Von Eim, Chick Evans and Watts Gunn, all of whom Bob- by has met in the final round of previous national championships. In the brackett with Jones are seedgd Francis Ouimet, defeated by Jones 11 and 10 in the semi-final round last year; Frank Dolp, the western champion, and Harrison (Jimmy) Johnston, who lost to Bobby, 10 and 9, in the third round of the 1927 tournament. Interest has developed in the pos- sibility of a meeting between Von Elm and Sweetser in one of the rounds before the final. These two have never met in the championship and may not this time. First they need to qualify and then they face the danger of being put out by some other early round opponent. On present form, Jones and Von Elm are strong favorites to reach the final round just as they did in 1924 and 1926.
