HOME BUYERS ARE HELPLESS PAWNS OF FATE Man Takes What He Can Get and That Usually Is Bad, Says Magazine. Herr Is followun on the series of hlnr slorlfs carried last month in Thr Times published with nermiaaion of the mataaine Fortune: NEW YORK, April I.—From beginning to end of the building of a home, less organization and less control is shown than in a child’s game of marbles, says Fortune Magazine, in its April issue. The article is one of a series in which Fortune is pointing out the waste in home construction, due largely to the fact that’ the building industry is unorganized; that money rates are too high; that labor is too expensive; and that the selling cost of subdivisions is wholly out of reason. The article says: “The prospective home-owner appears with a few descriptive sentences, a maximum figure, and a photograph of a fireplace in Salem, Mass. On the basis of that information, and with the aid of a book of pictures of houses built in another country out of obsolete materials for people now dead, the architect "oncocts a plan. Just a Big Guess “The plan is submitted to four or five general contractors, whose chief kill consists of their ability to add up the bids of subcontractors, make a charge for their own overhead, and suomit—and the contract is awarded to the general contractor who guesses, rightly or wrongly, that he can build the house for the least money.” The magazine describes the position of the SIO,OOO-a-year man: "Ten thousand dollars is a considerable sum of money . . . When si 0,000 a year, a man is the heir of the ages—or at least of his own age. He rides in a Packard or a Buick. He enjoys the blessing of mechanical refrigeration. Music (or its opposite) is distilled from the light plug in his wall. “His wife goes out in a ropy of a sport suit by Chanel. His daughters look as sleek as any man's daughters. His food is better and considerably more digestible than Queen Victoria’s.

All Advantages His “He can talk to San Francisco and sleep at sixty miles an hour. Ur has a power of control over his life and a power of purchase for his needs which men, many times richer than he, would have envied a century ago. “Theoretically, therefore, the man with SIO,OOO a year has no share in the housing problem. Theoretically, he controls his home as he controls his food. “Actually, the housing problem is one of the major concerns of his life. He pays in New York a quarter of a third of his gross income for the privilege of hearing the radio In the next apartment honking and strangling morning, noon and night, and the only iesser privilege of sharing the six-foot bathroom with the youngest of the girls. “In Chicago or St. Louis or Los Angeles he stores his trunk and his fishing boots and his gun case back of his dress clothes in a close-built to balance the imitation fireplace next door, and goes to sit in the lobby of a hotel when his wife has people he doesn’t like for tea. Helpless With Houses “For the truth is that the man who can control life in its more transient aspects can do nothing about his houses. He may own a car of almost perfect mechanism and of excellent appearance—a car about ns good, in every fundamental way, as the best car to be purchased. "But he will house at an entirely different level. He will house like a billeted soldier in a crowded apartment or in a row of ready-built cottages on an ill-paved street. And if he attempts to secure in housing the same value he is accustomed to recurs in other fields, he merely will discover that he has stepped out of his income class; that good housing is not, like good clothing, a commodity of general price, but a luxury for the very well-to-do." Hard on Material Men Fortune details various reasons for high costs in home-building. For instance: “Due to a lack of co-ordination and planning, material men are forced to meet the whimsies of a thousand architects regardless of the inevitable cast. Fortune has pointed out previously that builders could make more money and building workers would be employed more steadily if wastes were eliminated and costs brought down to a point which would enable more people of moderate means to contract for their own homes. But. says the magazine: “The building industry, second industry in size in the greatest industrial country of the industrial age. is itself not industrialized.’’ How to Stop RHEUMATISM New Medicine Drives Rheumatic Poisons From Joints and Muscles.

OUIETLY, yet with great effect. the word is being passed to ! the right “boys” that Frederick Landis, Logansport editor and radio columnist, is to be the next Republican nominee for Governor. The dope is that both Senator Jim Watson and ex-Governor Jim Goodrich have agreed to give the erstwhile Bull Mooser the green light. Here is the yarn as it came to the column and it’s worthy of attention. The two Jims previously had agreed that a candidate with appeal to the ex-service men should be nominated, to combat the pull with that group which would be exerted by Paul V. McNutt, if nominated by the Democrats. First choice was Raymond Springer of Connersville, former state commander of the American legion j and former circuit judge. But when the trial balloon was sent up for him, it deflated rapidly —punctured by the fact that Springer had appeared as an attorney for Harry Rowbottom, former Ku-Klux Klan congressman from the old First district, who was convicted and served a sentence for selling postoffice appointments. a a a Goodrich then demanded the nomination for Landis, who had been his second choice, the first having been the late Emmett Branch. It is said that high Republican i officials in Washington also put on | the pressure for the runner-up in the 1928 Governor nomination fight. They pointed out that he is an able orator, classed as a “liberal,” I thus fitting the spirit of the times, 1 and a favorite with the war vet- ! erans. And, most important of all—it is absolutely vital that Hoover carry Indiana next November and the way Ito do it was by a strong appeal ticket. a a a Always bowing his head before I the storm, or rather at even the ! very appearance of a storm warn- : ing. Watson, it is said acquiesced. Besides, always looking out for himself, Jim must run for re-election for senator. Goodrich, of course, had been the instigator of the idea, it is reported, and so he naturally approved. The difficulty was to get the cooperation of a well-known Indiana Republican, who also is strong for j Hoover. It was worked quite simply for according, to the dope, he was promised the right to appoint the personnel of the public service commission. That’s the story they are telling— I Don’t blame the column if the reported plans go awry. DR. DUGAN IN M. E. POST Succeeds Dr. W. E. King as Chief Resident Physician at Hospital. Dr. William M. Dugan today became chief resident physician at the Methodist hospital, succeeding Dr. William E. King, whose resignation was announced Thursday by Dr. John G. Benson, superintendent. Dr. King will enter private practice.

MARY NOLAN'S CASEAPPEALED Charge All Wives Face Jail for Mate’s Debt. By United Prctt LOS ANGELES, April I—The appellate court today considered an appeal against conviction of Mary ; Nolan, actress, on charges of failure to pay wage claims on the ground it set a precedent which might make all wives responsible i for the business debts of their husbands. Pleading her case, Attorney Arthur S. Guerin said: “If Miss Nolan is required to pay debts contracted by her husband, every married woman in California will be criminally prosecuted, if her husband engaged in a community

business enterprise and failed to pay his debts.” The blond actress was sentenced to thirty days in jail after she and her husband were convicted of failing to pay wages to employes of their dress shop.
