These artirlea are Intended as a guide in connection with the federal housing administration', home renoviring campaign. Perhaps the greatest interest shown in home modernization nowadays Is centered in the kitchen. Now. with the government offering to help you make easy loans for home repair and renovizing, you might consider the kitchen among the first features for improvement. One feature of a modern kitchen is to have all the utensils and supplies behind doors and out of sight, but within easy reach. The answer to this is wall cabinets. Another feature is a sink of ample size with large drain-board on both sides if possible. A useful combination with the sink is an electric dishwasher with a cover

After visiting Washington and Lafayette. the tourists will stay overnight at South Bend. The heavy rains yesterday make takeoffs and landings difficult and some of the planes came direct from Seymour to French Lick, without making the scheduled stops at North Vernon and Bloomington. A few minor accidents were reported. Making a forced landing at Seymour, the plane of Henry Churchman overturned, breaking the propeller. Repairs were made immediately and he rejoined the tour.

Gas, oil, and electric ranges are so made that the oven can be held at any desired temperature for any length of time. Coal ranges have been developed to throw less heat into the room. For a small house you can get a coal range that will also heat the house in winter either by hot air or by hot water. The arrangement of range, sink, cabinets, mechanical refrigerator will depend on the design of the room; the positions of doors and windows and the relation of the kitchen to the dining room. The walls and ceiling must be proof against damage from steam and spattered grease. Glazed tile is too costly, unless there is little wall space to cover. But there is a special grade of

Domestic Cares Assumed by Slain Boy’s Sister, 15

Mother Prostrated by Grief, Young Girl Bravely Accepts Burden. “Play in the kitchen and don’t bother mother.” With these words, 15-year-old Hazel Dillon, sister of DonaJd Dillon, 13, of 1871 Shelby street, whose murdered body was washed from a sewer into Pleasant Run creek yesterday morning, accepted the burden of the grief-stricken household. Hazel and her younger brothers, Le Roy. 12, and Harold, 6, were summoned from school to learn that their brother, missing since Sunday, had been found. He was found, not at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Mary Dillon. 2017 Brookside avenue, or in some boyish prank, as they had expected, but murdered, with his mouth stuffed with rags to stifle his cries for help. In a room opening off the narrow front porch Hazel’s mother, Mrs. Demmie Dillon, 34. lay unaware of the curious stares of her two remaining small sons, Harold, and Le Roy. Mother Is Grief-Stricken The mother's eyes opened widely at intervals, but there was no recognitiol in them of any of the people in the room. Her hands alternately opened and clutched at the folds of the coat which lay crumpled beneath her. It was the coat which she hurriedly had donned when she was called to identify the body of her murdered son. “She was like this two years ago. when another brother died.” Haze! said. “But he—well, he didn’t die this way! He had appendicitis. He looked like Donald, too.” Donald's absence at first caused no alarm. Hazel explained, because he was accustomed to go to the home of his grandmother for occasional visits. “That’s where mother thought he was when he didn't come home Sunday night.” Hazel explained. “She was washing dishes Sunday, and he said ‘I want to go to grandma's.’ She said. ’Oh. no. you don't,’ and he went out to play hide and seek with Harold and Le Roy in the back yard. Boy Usually at Home “When it came time for them to find him. they couldn’t. We thought he had gone to our grandmother’s. He sometimes went there to get show money; that was the only place he ever did go. He never played with any one except our brothers. He usually lay around and read. *or helped around the house when he was here.” Donald would have been 14 Sept. 19. just a week from the day that his body was discovered. He was to have entered the freshman class at Manual Training high school Monday, and when he did not come home yesterday morning his mother supposed that he had spent the night at his grandmothers, and entered school from there. When he did not return home last night his mother became alarmed, and notified police. CITY FOOD PRICES UP Increase Here Less Than Average in Other Cities, However. By Ttmr* Bprcinl WASHINGTON.

linoleum that makes an excellent finish, and there are substitutes for tile, made of thin cement sheets with the exposed surface enameled in color. Another good covering is varnished wallpaper which, after being hung and dry, is given a further coat of spar varnish. For a kitchen, a tile floor has the advantage of being cleaned easily, but, being hard, may not be easy on the feet. This can be overcome by providing mats of linoleum or rubber in front of the range, the sink and the work table. With all the electrical appliances that can be so useful in a kitchen, any plan for modernizing should include rewiring to provide plenty of outlets at convenient places. The wiring should be sufficiently heavy to permit the use of a number of appliances at one time. NEXT—Patching up cracks in walls.

SLUM JOB PAY ROLL TO TOTAL $600,000 Demolition of Buildings to Start Dec. 15. Pay rolls in the federal government’s Indianapolis slum clearance project will aggregate $600,000, according to estimates of Carl Ferguson, PWA representative here. Mr. Ferguson announced that demolition of the buildings in the area east of city hospital, where the government will erect twenty-five apartment units, will commence Dec. 15. Construction should begin about March 1, Mr. Ferguson said, and the entire project probably will be completed about March 1, 1936. Tentative figures given by Mr. Ferguson indicate that 400 laborers and mechanics will be given fulltime employment. Assurance that governmental units would lose no tax revenue on account of the construction of the apartment houses by the federal government was given by Mr. Ferguson. Service charges will be paid to the various taxing units, until title to the property is transferred to the advisory committee, whereupon the apartments will be restored to tax duplicates, Mr. Ferguson said.

gram were Governor Paul V. McNutt and Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, candidate for re-election to congress from the Sixth district. Astonished at Enthusiasm The meeting at the teachers’ college climaxed an all-day rally sponsored by Vigo county Democrats, who, although they made plenty of preparations for a huge turnout, were astonished at the enthusiasm with which Indiana Democracy flocked into Terre Haute. Nearly 1.000 persons attended the banquet preceding the meeting, overflowing the Hotel Deming dining rooms and causing extra tables to be assembled hastily. Richard Werneke, Vigo county's political boss and general chairman for the rally, acted as toastmaster. He introduced Omer S. Jackson. Democratic state chairman, who, in turn, presented local and state or-, ganization leaders, members of the state ticket, the Governor, Mr. Minton and Pleas Greenlee, secretary to the Governor. E. Kirk McKinney, Indiana head of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, and Mrs. A. P. Flynn, former state vice-chairman, also were introduced at the banquet. Touches on Fear Campaign Taking up the constitutional issues raised by Senator Arthur R. Robinson, his Republican opponent, Mr. Minton declared; “The Republican campaign always has been one of fear, but you can’t frighten people today about the loss of their constitutional rights, as if liberty were something apart from human happiness. You can’t frighten people today about the loss of their constitutional rights when they are struggling to live. You can't walk up to a hungry man and say, 'Here, have a Constitution.’ “You can’t say to labor that has had the tools of toil stricken from their hands, 'Here, have a Constitution and read what it says about the sacredness of property.’ “The Constitution lives and is made only to serve the people.” Mr. Minton spoke of the national administration plans for unemployment insurance and old age pensions and pointed out that great utilities companies set aside millions of dollars a year in depreciation and retirement reserves so that when machinery wears out, it can be junked. Thrown on Junkpile “Nothing has been set aside for the retirement of labor that is used for the best years of its life and then thrown on the junkpile of human derelicts with many good years ahead which it can not use,” Mr. Minton declared. “Provision must be made for the retirement of humans from industry the same as machinery. Business, labor and society in general must cooperate to the end that unemployment insurance and old age pensions be established when you turn a working man out because you no longer can use him and the future holds no protection for him.” Mr. Minton pointed out the Federal Land bank and the Home Owners Loan corporation and declared that his opponent, Senator Robinson. voted for them. “Yet the senator screams ‘we are on the road to Moscow’,” said Mr. Minton. “I say that the people of this state and of the nation believe we are on the road to recovery. Knows Most That “Ain’t So.” “No one else seems to know the road to Moscow. I never hear any one else taking about it.” Governor McNutt spoke briefly, referring to the Democratic victories in Maine with the assertion: “The critics may rave, but the man in the street makes known his verdict in no mistaken terms.” The Governor dismissed Senator Robinson’s attacks on the state administration with: “Day by day, he completely fills the picture painted by the New York Times, as the man who knows the most that ‘ain’t so.’ ” REPORTS JEWEL LOSS New York Woman Misses Purse on Arrival in City. A brooch set with twenty-eight diamonds, a ring with a two-and-a-half-karat diamond, another ring set with two diamonds and two emeralds and a wrist watch set with fifty-eight diamonds were among the contents of a pocketbook either lost by or stolen from Mrs. Harry Lewis, Graystone hotel.

The Coming American Boom BY MAJOR LAWRENCE L. B. ANGAS

(Continued From Page One)

4. To raising the value of banking assets, mainly by causing a market rise in bonds. 5. To reduce the real burden of monetary debt by raising prices-in-general to about the 1926 level. 6. To restore profit margins in industry by getting prices back above costs. 7. To increase the flow of money, and the volume of trade and employment. 8. To raise farm prices. 9. To balance the budget. Action was needed. His plan was as follows: First anil foremost, to reflate prices up to about the 1926 level so that (1) the “real” burden of farm mongage and fixed money debts no longer ate up the whole profits of industry, and *2 so that on the revival in profits the bonds of the railways, etc., held by the banks would become better covered, and by rising in price would once more restore the proper balance as between assets and liabilities of banks, insurance companies, etc. ana PRICE reflation was, in fact, an essential in order to avoid a continuance of the banking crisis and farm mortgage foreclosures, for although in the spring of 1933 the total of American internal debts was just ns big in dollar values as in 1929, the total of the assets had shrunk in dollar values, because of credit deflation and monetary hoarding, to below that of the debts. The choice thus lay between a prolonged epidemic of bankruptcies and foreclosures or increasing the values of property of all kinds of reflation. Reflation was naturally decided upon because it would: • (a) Correct the recent injustice of deflation. (b) Readjust the assets of the banks. (c) Put an end to the social strife that was already growing because of mortgage foreclosures and unemployment. The first half of the President’s monetary policy consisted therefore of bringing back the price level to that point at which, on the average, existing debts were contracted. The second half was subsequently to stabilize that price level when at last it had been reached, and thus to provide the nation with a ‘sound” dollar which would not change its purchasing and debt-paying power during the succeeding generation. Roosevelt's monetary plan, in brief, was “Reflate, then stabilize” and thus to correct one wrong without creating another. There remained, however, the psychological question of confidence, which it was clearly necessary to restore as soon as possible. Confidence, however, is a troublesome word, which has, as it happens, several meanings. First of all there is the confidence due to people possessing faith in their government. Efficiency, justice. sound policy and finance are what create and maintain such confidence. But a government may cause “lack of confidence” in itself, either by inaction, on the one hand, or by a flood of economic and social legislation on the other. At times it may cause lack of confidence in itself and in the industrial outlook by overtaxing; at others by overexpenditure, or inadequate taxation. nan BUT those who talk glibly about governments either destroying or creating “Confidence” should clear their minds as to what they really mean. Do they refer to confidence in the currency, confidence in the banks, confidence in the government, or business confidence? When Roosevelt came into power there was certainly no confidence whatever in the banks, and the fact that people were cashing their deposits and drawing money out forced many banks to close. Confidence in banking institutions, however, i. e., in the places where people keep their money, is not the same thing as confidence in American money, although confidence in the places where people keep their money is essential to continued prosperity: it is obvious that an important part of the President’s work was to recreate confidence in the banks. Confidence in the dollar, i. e., in American money, as distinct from American banking institutions, is quite another matter; and incidentally it is not the same thing as business confidence. Confidence in the dollar as such implies the belief that if one invests in it will not depreciate, but preferably appreciate. Confidence in the money of a country is largely brought about by a deflation, and ruined by inflation. Business confidence, however, is quite a different thing. Business confidence requires the belief that profits will be made, i. e., that commodities will not depreciate and that money will not appreciate. Indeed, assuming that confidence in the banks exists, business confidence is largely engendered by causing lack of confidence in money. This latter point is not generally realized and tends to give rise to much confused talk. . In respect of confidence Mr. Roosevelt's plan had to be a mixed one: (i) To restore public confidence in monetary institutions, i. e., the banks; (ii) To give capitalists some confidence in American money and above all in bond values—which was carried out in the main by providing the currency with a huge and convincing gold reserve; and (iii) Simultaneously to foster business confidence by a policy of credit inflation in order to secure higher prices.

Now. as already said, the President's monetary plan was to reflate the price level so as ti) to restore the asset position of the banks, and iii) to correct the injustice of the previous deflation. The actual operation of this plan, however, would itself be a powerful stimulus to business. The point Is that the mere expectation of rising prices causes consumers to buy in advance of the rise, and this eats in to middlemen's stocks; while middlemen themselves, who in the course of a deflation habitually let stocks run off to below normal for fear of inventory losses, tend to restockup again to normal, thereby giving increased orders to makers, who, in their turn, pay out additional incomes to workers and thus increase the general scale of employment end consumption. nan THE President knew, of course, that by pure inflation he could positively increase the total quantity of note currency, and thus rapidly set in motion an era of advancing prices. Both the German experience of the early 1920 s doubtless made him loath to inflate the note currency if he could possibly avoid it. He knew, moreover, since there existed in the country even .more gold than in the 192% boom, when prices and trade were 100 per cent higher, that if by psychological methods he could make the public •believe” that higher prices were coming, he could thereby restore confidence and make the powerful “latent” refiationary influence effective. He therefore planned to make maximum use of every possible psychological stratagem. His first psychological maneuver was to obtain powers from congress to devalue the gold dollar by 50 per cent, and to spend 3,000 million of inflationary government money on public wtorks and relief. He rightly guessed that the mere obtaining of these powers would create anew psychology of prices and thus improve industry. Secondly, observing that the belief was generally held (though it is theoretically unsound) that going off gold is itself inflation, he deliberately took America off gold even though her gold holdings were superabundant and her foreign trade balance was active. These two devices met with success, and business at once began to revive. The revival continued until November, 1933, although the currency was not quantitatively inflated one iota. Indeed, it is interesting to note that, whereas England obtained her revival by saying nothing and inflating her deposit currency by 18 per cent, Roosevelt obtained hts initial results (up to 1934) by much talk and little action. Indeed, bank credit or notes were not inflated at all until early in 1934.
