Hubbard lives in several thousand of them. He has built his home at 3S27 Sixty-eighth avenue, using tomato tins for hollow tile. The Hubbard tin-can house has five room. Originally it was of frame and shingle construction.

But the owner decided to stucco It. At first he contemplated using hollow tile. Then an economical notion set to work and finally Hubbard evolved the idea of laying tiers of empty cans which he stuccoed so that the finish wall looks like stone.

P. C. A. Home Rome Considered as Site for Session in March; Franco-Italian Issue Now Looked on as Main Work GENEVA, Dec. 12 (A) With four lntcrnntional problems, Including the Polish-Lithuanian controversy, on the way to settlement as a result of its deliberations, the forty-eighth session of the council of the League of Nations adjourned this morning to meet In March.

To the very end. It is felt in league circles, a spirit of mutual concession by the governments In the interest of securing accords on the various profrlems dominated the deliberations of the council. Officials said that no arrangements to convene the March session at Rome have been made, although Koine has been suggested in sonic quarters as offering a way of bringing about a meeting of Foreign Minister Briand of France and Premier Mussolini without making it necessary for the French foreign minister to make a special Journey to Rome for the purpose of seeking an opportunity to adjust Franco-Italian relations. DANZIG-POLAND ISSUE The Polish depot problem will he regulated by a local conference at Danzig, both Poland and the free City informing the council that they will accept the result of this conference. Still another question which was liquidated was the indemnification of Bulgarians who left Greece for Bulgaria, the property affected totaling ahout Both Greece and Bulgaria Bgreed to accept the rulings of a mixed commission.

The French representatives here seem desirous of having the March session in Rome and it is possible tha conversations will take place jpmong the council members concerning this within the next month or two. DISPUTE LIQUIDATED The Polish-Lithuanian dispute Mas liquidated by an agreement of the two countries to enter into direct negotiations with each other for the settlement of their differences and it is likely that a conference soon will be held at Riga, Latvia. The ceaseless activities of two Latin American members of the council, Senor Urrutia of Colombia Mid Senor Vilegas of contributed to compromise settlement of two other vexing problems. These were the request of Greece to be freed from obligation to make full payment for the battle cruiser Halamis, contracted for in a German shipyard before the war, and the request of the free city of Dan-nig to have a Polish munitions depot there either removed altogether or placed undkr partial control of Danzig. The battle cruiser question was referred to a mixed arbitral body for solution with- the understanding that an advisory opinion may be asked of the world court of justice as to the question whether Germany is prevented from exporting war material contracted for before the war.

Greece maintains that Germany is so prevented and has refused to take possession of the battle cruiser. Today, however, Greece agreed to abide by the decision of the arbitrators. Consul Summoned In Mexico Inquiry WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.

12. Have you any idea how much out of the estimated six billion dollars spent annually by Americans at Christmas, you youcprfff spend on Christmas gifts? Edith Vyse knows. She is budget specialist for a big New York institution and to her desk five hundred people daily bring their financial problems. Until they begin to reckon up under her kindly questioning, the' average spenders seldom realize what proportion of their money goes into presents at this season. You spend a trifle more than one veek's pay.

In other words, you work a little more than one week-each year to provide yuletide joy for Uncle Harry and Sister Louise and the rest of 'em. This is the average expenditure. The average of joy depends on whether Sister Louise really craved the hand painted shoe horn, and whether Uncle trusts your taste in neckties. The average New Yorker's salary is $3000 a year and Christmas sets him back speaking in terms of finance rather than of joy $60. The proportion in other places is about Jhe same, though the figures are Smaller.

In New York, too, if you are earning a very little more than $3000 you own a car; and no matter how little you earn, you own a radio, BRIDE GETS BIGGER PAY Moreover, in New York, the bride-to-be generally gets a bigger salary than the prospective bridegroom. A girl worker receives a higher salary early In her business career than does a young man because even in these feministic days there are more young men than necessary looking for clerking jobs; a situation which leaves stenographic jobs chiefly to young women. A crackerjack stenographer is worth $30 to $35 a week; a crackerjack clerk may be worth it, but because of an oversupply of clerks he doesn't often get it. Still for there's always a catch when the average girl receives $30 or $35 a week, she stays there; while her young man who started as a clerk at around $20 is marching ahead to an executive job with his firm at mercy knows how much. If, by the way, you are wondering where your salary goes, you can set your mind at rest about the big things.

"The usual person Isn't wildly extravagant as to clothes," said Miss Vyse today. "Nor as to food or rent. When the end of the week shows zero in the savings account, that zero is generally due to miscellaneous. It is due to the little trails: soda, candy, an extra theater or movie show, perhaps a taxi, but more likely to casually meeting a friend and taking the friend' to lunch or dinner. People fritter away their small surplus, or in some cases their large surplus and then wonder why they can't save." CAN LIVE ON $25 A WEEK The smallest sum on chich a self supporting girl can live wjth any degree of comfort in New York City is $25 a week, a minimum larger than that for other localities because in New York the rents are disproportionately high.

Yet, there is 'one professional woman who pays $65 a month for her apartment, earns $10,000 a year and has saved in two years exactly nothing. What she saves on rent she spends on fine clothes, fine restaurants and fine entertainment. On the other hand, there is one widower who supports himself and three children on $25 a week and saves money. His older b'oy is 14, but the father declines to take him out of school and put him to work. "I want him to haye a better education than I got." he says.

The family lives in an "unimproved" tenement; so unimproved that the rent for the two rooms, one of which is a kitchen, comes to $3.50 a week. A gas stove supplies the only heat and the gas Mtts amount to nearly as much as the rent, the two items together costingS weekly $6.70. Food for the four, including father's lunches, costs $12 a week; car fare '60 cents; clothes, the biggest item being children's shoes, an average of $5, which leaves 70 cents for the savings fund. The savings fund sneaks up into a yearly total of $36.40, or well on toward a week and a half's pay. It is Miss Vyse's observation that the general extravagance of post war years is dying out.

Her further observation is that high salaried people are less extravagant in proportion than low salaried people; the disproportion being due to the determination of low salaried people to possess as many as of the things with which high salaried people surrouna themselves.

(Thin in the iirst of three, articles explaining the present status of great controversy.) By HIRAM KKIjLY MODERWELL Special Correepondftnce of The Oakland TRIBUNE and the Chicago Daily News. ROME, Italy, Dec.

12. According to reliable reports, the Vatican and the Italian government have brought their Informal negotiations of the last three years to a point where the solution of the Roman question is, for the first time in fifty-seven years, a possibility of the near future. With this solution would doubtless come a concordat between the two powers residing in Rome, which would definitely regulate their future relations. The Roman question, frequently misunderstood abroad, is the question as to the juridical relations between the Roman Catholic church and the Italian state, which was raised in the year 1870, after some decades of hostility, by the capture of Rome by the armies of King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy. On September 20 of that year the king, Insisting that political sovereignty over Rome" ana adjacent territory was essential to the unity of Italy, and was in no way derogatory to the rightful spiritual sovereignty of the Pope, ordered his troops to bombard the walls of the Eternal City.

POPES NOW PRISONERS. The Pope ordered his troops not to surrender, but not to resist. The Italian artillery made a breach near the Porta Pia, and the army entered unopposed. Pope Pius IX pro testing that the forcible occupation was juridically and morally unjust. retired to the Vatican, whence neither he nor any subsequent Pope has ever emerged during his lifetime.

This "voluntary imprisonment" of the Pontiff symbolizes the Vati can's attitude toward, the juridical and moral aspects of' the situation thus created, an attitude that may be summed up as follows: I. The seizure of Rome by the Italians was not an act of war. since the church had never made nor acknowledged nor provoked war against the kingdom of Italy, DUt a simple act ot tbett. It was juridically unjustified, since theft is a crime. It was morally unjusti fied, since the Pope's spiritual authority rightfully claims and de serves tt twpect nM temporal rulers.

2. The emergence of the Pope from the Vatican would be equivalent to placing himself under the protection of the Italian state, and hence a tacit acknowledgment of its de facto sovereignty. THE MATERIAL CASE. The attitude of the Italian government may be summarized as follows: 1 In so far as the Pope claimed political sovereignty over certain territory, he placed himself on a level with any other temporal ruler and was subject to all the usual political vicissitudes, including war and spoliation of territory. The annexation of Rome to Italy was absolutely essential to the territorial unity of the nation and to the political welfare of the Italian people.

2. In so far as the Pope is a spiritual sovereign, his sovereignty is unimpaired by his loss of political functions. On the contrary, the vast majority of the Italian people con tinue with undiminished devotion to acknowledge him their spiritual ruler, and the Italian state, interpreting the people's will, guarantees every protection and aid to him in the exercise of that sovereignty. The two attitudes are obviously difficult to reconcile. Juridically tne situation might be stated thus: The Italian government made war; the Vatican has never made war; the Vatican lias never made peace.

Juridically, therefore, a state of war still continues. How. can it be ended? That is the Roman question. The very violent emotions which accompanied the events of 1870 have in the six succeeding decades been largely calmed. But the juridical question still remains unsolved.

The problem confronting statesmen of both sides is not the original terms of tire external conflict, but the conclusion of a legal treaty of peace.
