Yankee Gills Housing-
Bluff Made on Homes
For British Workmen
London, Dec. 12. A Yankee has
bailed Great Britain's housing bluff.
Kor exactlv one vear British min
isters have talked housing:, promis
ing 500,000 of them. Not 1,000 have
been . built. Those projected will
cost $3,000 each and upward. Being
designed (or workingmen, the work
men can't afford to rent them unless
subsidized by the state. Now a tax
paying, flareback has arisen against
subsidized workmen's cottages.
So one American-born E. F.
.Regan, representing American con
tractors, offered the British govern
ment or anyone else 5,000 wooden,
factory sawn houses monthly at a
cost of less than $800 each. lt also
offered to accept one-half the pur
chase nrice on delivery, taking a
mortgage on the rest at & per cent
interest. The gofernment pays-more
than that on war loans.
Regan' pertinently inquires of the
British press whether Dr. Chris
topher, minister of health, in charge
of the housing programme,1 is asleep.
; A plant of which a Brazilian state
produces 100,000 tons a year has
been found to yield a cellulose suit
able for the manufacture of linen
paper and fibers from which imita
tion cotton can be made.
Believes That 3,000-Gallon
Friesian Cow Is Possible
London, Dec. 12. Enthusiasts of
the Friesian cow are now talking of
the possibility of developing a 3,000
gallon cow, now that the 2,000-gal-lon
annual production mark has
been surpassed by a number of bo
vines of this breed.
, When Eske Hetty, first of all 2,00
galloners, gave 2,413 gallons lasi
year, critics considered the perform
ance a freak. Now Eske Hetty has
a rival Friesian, Southill Countess,
owned by Messers. Wallace, of
Knebworth, whose yield has reached
2,106 gallons in 320 days, while six
more of the breed, with different
owners, are on the way to top the
2,000-gallon mark before this year
ends, v
Scientific breeding has produced
silk worms from which silk of 18
fast colors has been obtained in
stead of only three as normally.
Detroit Pawnbrokers' - -Business
Shows Big' Gain
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 12. The
amount of goods pawned in Detrolf
has increased 25 percent during the
last four months police records
show. An average of 200 suits, 165
overcoats and 100 rings are placed
in pawn each day. Through the
co-operation of tlie pawnbrokers,
who make out daily reports of all
material taken iu, police recovered
during October goods valued at
$2,500 most of which was in
jewelry.
Persian Shah's Greatest
Regret: Too Fat to Dance
Paris, Dec. 12. The one regret
of the young Shah of Persia, he
explained to the French woman he
met .at tea the other day is that
he cannot dance because h is to
fat.
"What do you do here in Franca
to keep yourselves' slender?" asked
the shah. "I seem to be getting fat
ter every day."
"We dance late and get up early,
in the morning," answered his com-"
panton.
"Welt, I might dance late, but I
could never get up early in the
morning," said the young .Persian
ruler with a laugh. "I'll have, to
find another remedy.'
