Waverly Village became part of Baltimore in 1888. No slum, it is chiefly inhabited by middle-class families, has an average complement of stores, saloons, movie houses. Old York Road has some tumble-down clapboard houses, but Ellerslie Avenue's brick rows are more typical. The section chosen for the experiment comprises about 1,600 homes in 50 blocks, is bounded on one side by swank Guilford, on the other by Baltimore's Municipal Stadium. In cooperation with the Baltimore Housing Authority, HOLC will make a survey to find out "what is necessary to fortify and secure residential...

...Gertrud Hrdliczka, a comely Viennese who was conducting in Russia when she met Werner Hofmann, a U. S. engineer who was installing machinery for a Soviet oil refinery. Conductor Hrdliczka quickly became Mrs. Hofmann, settled down to live in a plain clapboard house in Larchmont, N. Y.

Here live or visit his five children, of whom Son Elliott was married last month. Here Mrs. Roosevelt, able, active and animated, runs the Val-Kill shops, where workmen make reproductions of early American furniture by hand. Here...
That night 100 sheriff's deputies and many a private citizen combed the nearby woods for the killer, but he had fled into the hills, vanished. Terrified, innocent Negroes trembled behind the thin walls of their clapboard cabins. The misdirected white man's fury which they feared was not long in arriving. Eleven suspects were jailed. They were comparatively lucky. At Irondale, 10 mi. from Birmingham, two whites shot two blacks from the top of a passing box car. One Negro died. In Birmingham, a Negro was dragged out of his home by two whites, led two blocks...
