TENEMENT AREA IN U. S. CITIES SEEN AS THREAT Architect Sees Danger Ahead Unless Changes Are Made Washington. Oct. 11 (U.R) Tenement areas In American cities must he completely rebuilt "if our | cities are to escape bankruptcy ; and the citizens freed from utter ; poverty and depravity," according to a statement by Henry K. Holeman of the American Institute of Architects, Holsman points out that during I the past decade practically no: homes were built whose rent | would be low enough for those whose salaries are under $2,000 a j year, a class which includes near-1 ly two-thirds of all American families. At the same time, he says, [ the building industry was employ- j ing nearly one-fourth of all wage earners. Philadelphia was chosen by Hols-; man as a typical example. He ■ cites figures to show that 51 peri cent of all lipusing built there dur-i ing the past 10 years was for the 11 per cent of the people with in i comes from $3,000 to $4,000 a year, j The incomes of 4S per cent of the \ people, he says, were so low t hat • they could not afford any of newly-1 built residences. “Consequently." he went on. "many low wage earners were encouraged to assume rent burdens; that were too heavy, with subsequent disaster to both the produc-| era and the users. “That means that half of Phil-1 adelphias population must live in! the old obsolete houses, many of: which are not tit for human hahi- 1 sli 10'i, DISCOUNT | ON YOUR ELECTRIC LIGHT BILLS BY PAYING ON OR BEFORE Oct. 20 POWER BILLS ARE ALSO DUE —AND—MUST BE PAID —BY—TWENTIETH OF MONTH AT CITY HALL ALL BILLS — in Madison and Monroe townships.

Activities of several mad dogs in Los Angeles last week inspired the announcer of a local radio station to make the year’s funniest mistake in pronunciation. “The State Health Department,” he bulletined, “has just issued a warning against a new outbreak of rabbis.” Then there was the suburban paper which recently told its readers that a certain movie star was appear at the local theatre aa “monster of ceremonies.” They’re still gaping over the incident at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Fifi Dorsay was walking towards the Marion Davies set. when she noticed everybody looking behind her and registering amazement. She turned around to discover Greta Garbo hurrying towards her.

The multimillionaire motor manufacturer: consistently has refused to recog- ■ nize the NRA in any’ way. declined | to sign the automobile code, and' his spokesmen in Detroit last night insisted that he had no. intention of dealing with the labor board in I any way. There seemed no question, however. but that the meeting today at the Edgewater assembly plant was arranged by the board, although its representative will not sit in the conference. Labor officials, pointing out they always esought first to adjust disputes by conciliation, viewed as a considerable victory the decision of the Ford Company to meet with the strikers. o GUARD AGAINST ILLICIT LIQUOR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) er with a virtual ban on legitimate foreign imports of liquor were ex- | pected to give Important protection to the American liquor industry which is preparing for full time operation after repeal. ing of foreign liquor from the American market was expected to result in increased employment and profits for the rapidly growing American liquor industry. Officials of the bureau of industrial alcohol said today they had turned down under instruction of the President applications for importation of approximately 3,000,000 gallons of distilled spirits, mostly Scotch ‘whisky. The government will lose nearly $20,000,000 in revenue because of this han. but American manufacturers will have an increased market for their products. Whisky has not been Imported ' legally into this country for many years and the only imports of distilled spirits have been a moderate . amount of brandy for medicinal purposes. This brandy and some ‘special wines had been uno Main-

You should have seen Gene Raymond when a beautiful girl—and a stranger too—came up to his tabla at the Fox commissary, leaned oyer and planted a kiss upon his lips.

QUICK GLIMPSES. Mae West and Travis Banton have been in heavy conference for two days and the reason, they’ll tell you, is a sensational gown which the star plans to wear to the premiere of “I’m No Angel.” Just to give you an advance tip, it’s to be of white beaded lace with yards of white fox fur.
