Mose Jackson called on the leading colored attorney of Darktown, to see what he could do about getting a divorce. The lawyer asked him all sorts of questions, but shook his head dubiously when it appeared that the wife had not really done anything to furnish him sufficient grounds for divorce, and Mose had simply "loss his taste fo' huh," as he so delicately put it. So the lawyer told him to come back the next day, and in the meantime he would delve deeper into the situation and see if he could find a loop-

"sunrhine House" at Treasure lsland

In the Homes and Gardens Section of Treasure Island is a charming, five-room bungalow set amid green lawns and shrubbery, and surrounded by a badminton court, a ping pong table, a barbecue pit, a sun court and a sand box for children. This bungalow is "sunshine House," a $6,000 model home.

Labor unions, trade associations, and firms in the construction field took cognizance of their common goals, and pulled together in a concerted effort to stimulate building activity.

The result was "Sunshine lIouse," the constrgction industries' own idea of what the ideal small California home should be-a model of good construction. It is expected to create a strong desire for new homes, to convince the prospective home owner that every dwelling should offer plenty of recreational facilities, and to create a greater "home consciousness" on the part of the thousands who visit the exhibit.

It was with tftese objectives in mind that labor donated the services of its finest skilled craftsmen, and material men do,nated the needed materials, manufacturers and distributors donated services and equipment, and, all working together under the guidance of the Construction Industries Section of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.

They had in mind, also, the education of visitors toward easier detection and appreciation of good construction. When visitors enter the house, they see small sections of the walls and floors cut away, featuring the quality construction. "Sunshi,ne House," after its promotional purpose has been served, will be given arvay.
