Sept. 3 (AP) -Great Britain diss gold in South Africa to pay her war debt to America, and America buries tbe precious metal again so that it will not in terfere with the economic -life of the ! United States, Pethick Law rence, labor member of parlia ment, told an audience recently t the-Independent Labor Party Sun. mer School at Cloughton, near Scarborough. "It la almost comic," said Mr. Lawrence, "that we employ people to di& the gold from under the earth and send it to those who bury it under the earth." The speaker, who is one of, the intellectuals of the British, labor movement, referred to the, annual payment Great Britain makes to the .United States in settlement of the enormous' debt left over from the war. He said that ! events of the last decade had destroyed con fidence In the gold basis, and that a paper basis for currency must be established, i Phone 1507. Country Work Promptly i Attended to L'. D.

Announcement at' the Navy Department: that the battle ship Florida would be placed: "in reserve," and j that the propos ed .winner cruise to Australia might be abandoned, has again brought to thej front In service cir cles the serious consequences of curtailed funds for upkeep of the ships. ; , fj Already working under general orders which limit repairs to 70 percent of recommended pro grams, bureau Ichjefs.

Arrangements have been made with the "American Builder," the leading building magazine of the Unite.d States, to run stories and cuts of plans appearing in their "Blue Ribbon Homes" section, particularly those stressing per manent home1 construction or adapted to the use of permanent materials. ' The Salem Brick & the shortage of funds. Accu mulating deterioration" is the nightmare which haunts grey old seados:s who love' their -ships. In the intimacies; of -club and office they -are making mathematical computations to show that" ship would be only ,49: percent efficient after a second visit to her home yard, and 35 percent upon the third departure. ' i Curtailed repairs are declared by members j of -.the engineering staff already to be apparent In the operation of the fleet, one 'esti mate J being that $15,000,000 would be required to bring, that force to its proper rating. A radio dispatch bearing on the subject was recently sent to all ships and stations'. Calling atten tion to the "inadequacy of funds," the department announced that "no alterations will be undertaken upon any ship . until further in structions," unless a bureau had made provisions for them from & special appropriation. "Alterations under way will be discontinued," the orders added "unless too far advanced to make stoppage uneconomical." While a limit of 70 per cent ap parently has been laid upon repair work, instances are cited in which ships have been withdrawn from their ways .with only 30 or 40 per cent of the scheduled work com pleted. Further additions to the reserve list are . declared to be in prospect . as the fiscal year grows older. : i .', WEEKLY Ll'MUEU HE VIEW ' ' i 1 X LOANS On Modern Homes 5b Semi-Annual Interest 5 1 Yesur Loan Wffl Loan Up to 50 of Value !

The plan? appearing today is of a beautiful and spacious bunga low which appears in the ! July Spanish style clay tile roof, and is made particularly attractive by the partially closed porch, the broken roof lines and the tile roof and chimney caps- The value of a hollow" tile home in this section of the coun try lies not only in the fact that it is fire-resistive, especially in- l&ofar a3 communicated fires are summer j: days, and warm and cozy during our coldest winter weather.' Not only is the summer heat keiit on the outside, but the furnace or fire place heat is also retained wijthirt during the cold winter days. This latter feature results In a material saying of iuel. by permitting" a greater ef ficiency in the distribution ot-the r ' i V i -i 4 - i ( I J ( f the Blind School's new eonnnory, and the rarrish Junior High School.

There are six rooms on the first floor, while in the second floor of the gabled section in the cen ter there is space for' a dormitory or play-room, and also for $ spare bedroom. The bungalow over all is 53 feet wide and 40 feet deep. The recessed porch provides the main entrance to the living room In the center of the building. Connected with it Is the dining concerned, but also that it can be constructed damp proof, and that it is a particularly fozy home at all seasons. The I hollow clay 1uildlng- tila are subjected to an intense heat in tho course of manufacture, - the ; temperature ranging from 2100 degrees F to 2300 degrees "F during the heavy fires when the final stages of In cipient vitrification are in pro cess. Homes constructed of burn ed clay hollow building tile are therefore highly resistive to com municated fires. The hollow spac- heat within the house -none of the heat ; is transmitted , to the outside and there dissipated, for burned clay Is the most efficient non-conductor of heat of all buildin? , materials. ' Particular attention should be called. "to jhe attractiveness of the burned 'clay-roofing' tile which Is manufactured fn shapes adapted from Spanish and Italian styles While tht'se tile require particu larly strong construction to carry them, the owner is more than compensated for the beauty and of loss of freshness- And tlcy make a more attractive roof thn flatter or partially rolled roofing materials. f : The use of permanent materials is coming morel and more into fa vor for home construction. While In homes-so built the first cost is greater, thei safety, low insari ance, low. upkeep, and extremely low rato ot depreciation means a cheaper home fin l the long rrfn. And another ppint in their far is that they can be adapted to as many beautiful designs as ally building materials.
