CHAPTER F149 HOW MADGE TRIED TO SOLVE ONE VERY PRESSING . PROBLEM The doorway npon which I had stamDiea evidently was toe en trance to the kitchen of the jani tor's quarters, and a more immac ulate place I never hope to see. There was i cheeriness In Its homely comfort, also, which alas! docs not always accompany cra pulous cleanliness. Th Wood work was brave in yellow paint, the window . panes , were shining -and with : the handicap of city dust what , that meant in terms of constant care. I well knew and upon the sills, where they - could catch every bit of the scanty sun light, -were six scarlet geraniums, those hardiest soldiers of the in door gardens. The gas range glittered, with the high polish only hard, rubbing ould Eire Its surface, and the fan- cest of the sink might have been made of some precious metals. The floorboard were- scrubbed white. and on them lay a brightly-color ed'rug; A table covered with a td cloth stood ! against the wall, ' ana oesiae it in a rocung. cnair with scarlet cushions sat' the pre siding genius of the roonii whom I bad known only as the somewhat taciturn wife of the genial old janitor. .-She was a fat old woman with an - unwieldy . body, and a face etched with lines which, when I had first seen her, I had interpret- ed as those of pain. This surmise had been confirmed later by her garrulous husband, who did an oo caslonal bit of heavy cleaning for me, and who had bemoaned the "bad pains' from which his wife suffered. A Kindly Suggestion. , - , I had deduced rheumatism, and now J had proof of my diagnosis In her swollen feet. Cased in wool en stockings, the rested j on a cushion before her, while a pair of old-fashioned "carpet slippers", large enough for a man, lay be side her chair. ", V She greeted my unexpected ap pearance at her door with a smile which lit up her pain-twisted face. "Come in. Missis Graham, and please excuse me," she said, simp ly. "My feet aTe f ery bad today. I schust took my slippers off, for I couldn't stand on my feet any longer. Ton want Mr. Schwart? He must be arcand her some where. Sit down till he comes." 'Thank you," I said, promptly drawing, a chair nearer her and sitting down, for I saw she would be more at her ease with me seat ed. "I do want to see your hus band. He has promised to show me some apartments this morning for a relative ot mine. "Yes, I know." she interpolated. "He told me. Of course I should n't say anything, but it I were in your place, I would take the one on the same side ot the house as yea are. ' The woman who has that to rent she iss tery clean about her rooms, while the other one on the tfcer sldo veil I. mustn't say anytingv bat I can't Qelp having eyes. And I said to Schwartz, yon were too nice and. kind a lady to get Into a place that yon wouldn't like. But ot courts he has to show all the' places to anybody that asks, -that's his lob. you know." she added a bit wistfully. -. . . "What Was It Yon Wanted?" "Of course," I agreed heartily, "and I shall look at both ot them. But X am. sure I shall be very glad . to take your advice, and thank you tor giving me the hint." A flush came 'into her faded cheeks, and she looked at me with grateful eyes. I guessed that few callers came into her life, and she was making- the most of my visit. .. . , "It's no more than I ought to do," she said. "It's hard for a young thing like you, with no ex perience , to . know ' all about rooms like these."1 ' ' "Woman-like I felt my heart warm to her at the absurd com pliment. But I did not take time to contradict her. ; "It's awfully good of you to help me," I said humbly, Tve been wondering, since I saw your SiiSes American Interests Are ti i jecxmg I nemseives in European Real Estate In- American Interests are rapidly Injecting themselves into the Eur opean building and real estate sit uation, and both the continent and England hold great potential pos sibilities of development compar able to the present spectacular pro gress now going on in this country according to S. W. Straus, presi dent ot S. W. Strau Co., who has Just returned after nearly three months spent abroad studying the financial, building and real estate situations. "Notwithstanding the situation now existing In France and Italy, there is considerable real estate activity in the larger cities of both countries," Mr. Straus says. "The latter is In much better condition politically than France because of the strong hand of Mussolini. But Italy cannot become permanently and substantially prosperous until her French neighbors reach more propitious times. "It was my observation that real estate values in the larger cities of France and Italy, especially the resort cities, are rapidly increas- lovely kitchen, if I couldn't make some arrangement with you to help me out in another matter." She shot a sudden keen look at me, and I realized that she was as shrewd as she was kindly. "What is it you wanted?' she asked cautiously. "I have four people, relatives and friends, coming to visit me this evening," I explained. "There are reasons why I do not wish to take them to a restaurant, and you know I cannot manage much of a dinner on my gas-plate." "I could not get dinner for you," she Interrupted hastily. "It is all I 'can do to do my own cooking." "Oh! no!" I answered as hasti ly. "I didn't mean that. But I wondered if I couldn't rent your stove especially your oven for a few hours this afternoon?" lag and that much money is being spent in these places by visitors from North and South America. I "The financial situation in Eng land is sound, but industry there is lagging , and there la much un employment. These' ' conditions will adjust ' themselves twhen the continent reaches that basis ot sta bilization which is bound to come with the restoration ot the gold standard. The lowering'of the Bank of England's rediscount rate indicates that money 'there Is abundant and stable. The Eng lish are a wonderful- people and one is moved to profound admira tion for the manner in which they have faced all their grave post-war problems, maintaining throughout the stirring developments of recon struction years a firm faith in the destinies of the Empire, a respon sibility for the needs of humanity and. a veneration for the noblest traditions ot the British nation, v ' "Germany, at the present time, seems to be recovering from the effects ot the war more rapidly than any European nation. The restoration of the gold mark has been of untold value in affecting stabilization. Much building is going on in the principal German cities and they are becoming more and more Americanized in their types of construction. "This tendency to adopt Ameri can types of building, prevalent in many European cities including London, means that -our building and real estate interests are bound to be effected more and more by the European situation. From present appearances it would seem that as soon as France returns to a gold standard, you will see a great amount of new building in the leading French, Italian and English cities which will be ac companied by the introduction on a large scale of American methods of financing building operations and general real estate develop ment with American firms and in dividuals taking a very active Stayton 4- The parent-teacher association which was held in the high school auditorium here on Saturday of last week, proved a very interest ing and instructive meeting and was well attended by parents and teachers from many of the school districts in this end of the coun ty.

While splitting stove wood a few mornings recently "Jimmy" Arnold cut two fingers of his left hand quite severely. The forefin ger was completely severed from the hand and the index finger left hanging by a few shreds of flesh. The fingers were sewed back in place and it is thought probably they will come out all right, . The raw cold winds from the south and the general Inclemency of the weather Wednesday kept many people at home who other wise would have celebrated Armis tice day in Salem and other places where celebrations were held.
