Each purchaser must put to a nest-egof ?f00 under a contract requiring amortization over a period of 20 years. The Ilightstown project can perhaps be called a demonstration in industrial decentralization, although It has merely created another producing trait financed by noncommercial Interests. It differs from all other home-iteaprojects for white collar and industrial workers In that they are located near cities or Industrial plants where the residents of the new garwhere, needle Circle g ds homes are normally employed.

The point is he hopes very much that the whole need for relief will have passed by Christmas, but that he knows no one can really tell what it will be, say In 1 ... Reduces the Pull The answer of the congressional objectors is very simple, also, and very logical though it would not appeal so strongly to the country as the President's logic. But in effect this power, granted to the President, would go a long way toward curtailing the individual Influence of members of the house and senate. It would mean that their decisions and their votes on public buildings, for example, would be much less important. It gets back to the old question of the Public Works administration. Under normal circumstances, if a new post office is put up in Squedunk by the federal government, it results frcm a bill passed through the house and senate. The congressman from the Squedunk district can claim to the voters of Squedunk and suburbs that it was his untiring efforts which resulted in putting the measure through the house. Usually he claims that it was his Influence which put the measure through the senate also. Sometimes, of course, the senators from the state claim a share of that credit, but these claims really do not conflict politically. No one is done any particular harm by them. The senators and the congressmen usually manage to capitalize them quite satisfactorily. For example, the claims of a Repub lican member of the house from the Norfolk (Va.) district a few years back did not bother either of the Demo cratic senators from the state, except that naturally they wanted a Democrat elected from that district. But If the newspapers print copious articles about the fact that after duly weighing the merits 'of a proposal the administrator of public works, Secretary Ickes, has decided to build this or that in a given city, there Is much more difficulty on the part of the sen ators and members of the house In convincing their constituents that they were really responsible, and that therefore they are men who deserve so the Interests of that community will continue to be served I Didn't Want Landis President Roosevelt will certainly have the laugh on the conservatives In the senate who voted for a separate commission instead of the Federal Trade commission to regulate the stock exchange, If he appoints James Landis at the head of the new Because while the motive inspiring Rpnntor Carter Glass in proposing the separate commission was entirely dif ferent, most senators voting for a separate commission did so to get this regulation away from the "Felix Frankfurter boys," of whom Landis is, to their minds, perhaps the most pernicious. thought the The conservatives stock exchange should be regulated with a more kindly atti tude toward business In general and the stock exchange in particular than la nnltP ereneral in the Frankfurter camp.

This story was told me in illustraof a tion of the charming man of letters there was, I may add, no piece of bacon under the sideboard when they looked for It but to me It bears a different interpretation. On this occasion I do not think he was absent-minde- d at all. I think he was wrestling with the devil that habitually enters into some common object of the household and whisks it away Into space. It Is a devil that beats us all; and I have no difficulty in believing that the piece of bacon really leaped from his plate and shot under the sideboard and then disappeared. No one who has possessed a pair of scissors or spectacles, a pencil, or a knife, or a piece of India rubber, or an ear trumpet Is In a position to doubt his assertion.

JZL Pro-oesa- ed PROTECTED THIS MOTOR FOR OVER FOUR THOUSAND MILES! Low Consumption and Motor Protection proved in the most daring and convinc- ing Motor Oil Test ever made . . WHEN New and Improved Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil was perfected, it had lubrication values so great that a mere statement of them would seem absurd. Could you believe that any strictly stock motor could run 4,729 miles on just five quarts of oil before wrecking itself? It did and Conoco proved it in competition with five widely known, nationally advertised, quality brands of motor oil!

After the cars were broken in for 2,500 miles, they were drained, examined and a fresh fill of five quarts put in each cran!:-casNo more oil was added. Then the crankcases were sealed by an AAA official. The real test began. It was ordered that they be driven at an average of 500 miles adayat50milesan hour until their motors failed to operate. Oil No. 4 was first to e. at 1,713.2 miles. Oil No. 6 failed at 1,764.4 miles. Oil No. 5 ruined its motor at 1,815.9 miles; three of them were out fail of the running. The next day Oil No. 1 failed to lubricate and, its motor wrecked, stopped at 2,266.8 miles. Two cars two oils still left in the test. Oil No. 3, after a remarkable run of 3,318.8 miles, came to a shuddering stop, and the last competitor of New and Improved Conoco Germ Processed Oil, was out The lone car, witn this tremendously vital oil, labeled No. 2, went on and on.
