Tho appeal a&s that South Bend itU-n3 oien their homes to Uitx-e ra-n, many of whom arc yi)ur.0' and wlio uro jut beginning their ti-re-rs. Müht of th-m are from good fanillk-H and are well bred. Tlu industries and Chan:.her of Commerce, want every family in tho Uty that can jHJ:ably du ho, to rent innmn to th'so young men. Th" families doing thLs are assured of a reasonable remuneration for their florts to aid the city in mvetirw the housing problem. ha h family that an spare a room for rental i.s asked to list it with the industrial plaiU3 or with tho Chamber of Commerce, and in turn the? institutions oiler to send only roomers whoe characters ha.vo Leon investigated and found to meet with approval IiisLamt of lYoiiU'criiiir. The families are a.s;ed not to charge an unreasonable rental for their rooms. An instance of where overcharging droo one man who would undoubtedly hao become a iubHtantlal citizen of the comnwwnity frnn the city is cited. The appeal recites how a man brought his lamily here. He was succ-sful ia lirulin? a haute, but soon had to vacate tho house because it had been sold. This potential citizen was prevented by circumstances from leaving the city at once. Ho was forced to seek accommodations, and finally succeeded in rentin.; a furnished room ia tho home of on of the city's wealthy families. The rent charged for thla room was a week, or flOO a month. He occupied the furnished room for one month. Then he left tiouth Bend for another city. Ho wm an executive in a outh Bend concern, well bred and public spirited, and ho would have made South Bend his permanent home had he not bec-n driven away by circumstances greatly mitigated by a. roim prohteer who did not need the money. Many Instances of a liko nature are cited, but it l.s not believed by tho city's industrial heads or tho othcials of the Chamber of Commerce that the Krtat majority of South Bend families are inclined to tak? advantage of a deplorable situation to proiitetT.

'Clarence99 With Capable Cadt is Splendid Comedy

Booth Tarkington's convly sucrs "Clarence." which h.is been dehs'hting crow. in In Chicago and New York simultaneously give pleasure to two audhncs at tho Oliver Saturday. The n.atineo performanr which was th" first to b given here for some tirr. the others having b- ea preven d by railroad delays, drew a, capacity crowd. If current reports are accptej, Fouth Knd lost nothing by seeing the Chicago company. Indeed, report ntd not be relied upon, for those who saw Saturday's ofrering are nrr-j-arc-l to vouch for the excellence of th" cast. Th re was Itobert Adams, for Instance, as "Clarence," an rnsacinir and aruu'.ing chap in a iiniU role into which he put hi-is-lf with evident enjoyment: and On-L-ory JClly many remember him in "Seventeen" duplicating his success In

th former Tarklr.jrton piece In a pomewhat similar character; and liuth Gordon playirg alongside him In a character equally excruciating and corcp'-tent support for all. Crorge C. Tyi'-r has provided an excellent production and there Is no dc act of Tarkingtors sure-handed-

rifs In evolving a ral American comrdy with an artistic precision j whkh runs true to life in all par-;

tlculars. One Clarence" is worth a hundred bedroom farcc-3 and somehow th" producers s.-ern to be coming rcund to this view.
