On Columbia Road.

For many years persons have been desir-
GUS of purchasing the valuable property
known as the Lansburgh tract, situated on
Columbia road and running through to 10Th
street between the Dean property and the
Quackenbush property, and said to contain
nearly 114,OO0 square feet. The desire to
purchase is owing to the great improve
ment in Washington Heights and also to the
desirability of the property, having 'front.'
age both on Columbia road and 18th street.
A litigation, which has been in progress for
many years, has heretofore prevented a
sale, but this no longer effects the title, as
it was brought to a close by the Equity
Courts appointing William Hitz, Clarence
r. Wilson, Alexander Wolf and Henry g..
Mathews as trustees, for the purpose OF
selling the property. The trustees have the
power to offer 1t at private sale. No doubt
the property will be speedily sold and a
large modern building erected on the site.

form"
at is very desirable that married
women should not work in factories
THE prime duty of the woman is
to be the mother, the housewife
THE question of being a good Ameri'
a has nothing to do with a mans
birthplace, any more than it has to dc
with his creed
Wage workers have an entire
right to organize; they have under nc
circumstances the right to commit
violence on those with whom they are
at Odds"
Our voice has spoken for peace, and
it is so because We are not afraid OF
war"
The steady aim of this nation
should be to strive to bring ever near
er the day when there shall prevail
throughout the world the peace OF
justice"
mo Christian or civilized com
munity can afford a happy-go-lucky
lack of concern for the youth OF TO
day"
III a race does not have children in
plenty, or II the children do not grow
up, or II when they grow up they are
unhealthy in body or stunted or VI
