ARMS EMBARGO MAY BE WEAPON . AGAINSTMEXICO Indications That Washington Awaits Overt Act to Lift Ban. Eti United Press WASHINGTON, March 23.—Abrogation of the Mexican anti-smug-gling treaty by the United States reopened general discussion here today of possible lifting of the American arms embargo and consequent Civil war south of the Rio Grande. After March 28, this Government will be under no treaty obligation to prevent arms smuggling to Mexican counter-revolutionists, and the way is thus cleared for effective removal of the embargo. \ The United Press understands President Coolidge has no intention of acting immediately. But if and when Mexico commits an alleged overt act in the oil land law dispute by seizing American property, removal of the arms embargo in retaliation is considered probable. ißiiere are evidences that the Calles government is in a conciliatory mood and trying to avoid any such overt act. Mexican Ambassador Tellez today said he believed the disputes could be “settled by negotiation. President Coolidge.. and Sec-

retary Kellogg have expressed similar hopes. The President is described as much Impressed by the unanimous Senate vote favoring arbitration and by recent popular petitions opposing removal of the arms embargo. He does not consider retaliatory acts by this Government expedient, for the moment at least. But it can be stated authoritatively that some of the President’s highest advisers have urged a break. These advisers consider denunciation of the anti-smuggling treaty the first step in that direction.
ALLEY I>OG ENTERED FOR SHOW Boy, 14, Owner of ‘Steve,’ Recalls Heroism at Bank Robbery. Bn United Press CHICAGO, March 23.—An "alley dog” will have a place of honor with the bluebloods of the canine world when the twenty-sixth annual show of the Chicago Kennel Club opens Friday. The dog has been entered by 14-year-old Frank Brown, who proclaims the dog is "self-made.” The dog goes by the rather common name of “Steve.” Writing officials of the < show, asking permission to enter his dqg, the boy gave the following pedigree: Born —Don’t know. Ownership—Found by me in an alley in 1921 when he was homeless and hungry. Name —Steve. Parents —Don't know. Previous Shows Won beauty prize in unpedigreed show in 11)22; won special first prize in 1926 Kennel Club show. Special Qualifications —Was the hero in' stopping two robbers who attempted to rob the bank of .Park of S7OO. The dog chased one of the robbers and forced the bandit to drop the loot. Officials of the Kennel Club were puzzled whether to permit the dog to enter the show, but his young master’s youthful letter explaining that "Steve is part wonderful dog, and this year I'll fix his cage swell,’* won the dog the right to contest with the bluebloods of the dog world.

FINANCE HOUSES ON OWNERS’LOTS Prospects are unusually good for spring development of home building by the Civic Realty Company, according to Russell Rollins, president of the company, located at 136 N. Delaware St. s "With the advent of spring weather, thoughts of many newlyweds will turn to home-building, although many hours are now being spent in seeking to solve the problems of financig their ‘air-castles,’ ’’ he said. "Our company has played an important part in making dreams come true for persons who want to own their own homes. What young couples or older married couple has not yearned to live in their own home? With this basic view in mind the company launched its career three years ago to help solve building problems for some of these homeseeking folk.” The company will undertake to construct and finance the building of almost any type of home, taking into consideration the personal desires of those who want to own a home. Consultations are welcomed by the officers of the company and advice is given to those who desire it. "Our main line is building and financing homes for persons who have a clear lot, well-located, accepting the lot as the down payment and the balance at the rate of $1 a month per SIOO, which includes interest," explained Ralph R. Schledler, secretary of the company. “In -this way, a person may select the type of home they desire and build to suit their ideas in every detail, making it better than shopping aroUnd for a ready-built house and hoping to find the location, construction and design, with price and terms to suit them. We also take care of repair work, paid for on the Installment basis.”

of very attractive homes, many oP which have special building features In them, particularly attractive to women. GUTTER LEAHS DAMAGE HOMES Home owners should see that all tin guttering is earefully Inspected for leaks nn<l repaired In order to avoid dumage to buildings, Harry Eseol of Tho Ideal Heating Cos., 2437 Central Ave., pointed out. Dirt, old leaves, soot and dust which has accumulated in guttering may result In water hacking up In the eaves and cause rotting of timbers, he said. “It is a fine thing for home owners to have downspouts and guttering gone over each spring, and have replacements made where the metal has rusted through and have all exposed surfaces carefully repainted," he continued. “Tho careful home owner will not let his property become ’run down’ as we call It. lie will keep every part of It In good condition. I’alnt costs very little and If guttering is painted before it has rusted through It may he saved from total loss. “The Ice which may form In envrs or in downspouts often will burn open joints of the metal. If tho™ joints are resoldered tho metal work may be saved." The Ideal Heating Company does a largo amount of metal repair work. Many homo owners are having the metal work replaced by copper, and find that It has longer wearing qualities, Escol said.
