PROMOTER DEFENDS
MODEL TENE MENTS.
official Declares Them a
Paying Investment.

New York, May 6.-There is nc
frmer friend of model tenementg in
New York than DR.. E. r. L. Gould
former city chamberlain, now head OF
a prominent realty and suburban
homes company. This concern, VIII tn
builds model tenements as an invest
ment, has just decided to extend its
activities to Brooklyn and has ac-
CURED title to the frontage of an
entire block facing City park and ex-
tending from Raymond street to st.
Edwards place, formerly Canton street.
An expenditure of 100000 will be
made, work to begin at once, although
1t Will take three years to complete
the entire block on account of the
number of unexpired leases.
Defending the model tenement prop
osition from a business point of view,
DR.. Gould, in addressing the members
of the First Presbyterian church in
Brooklyn recently, said:
Il am not radical, but a very
conservative of the conservatives, and
l believe thoroughly in the rights of
the indiidual and in the rights of
private property. But unless indiid-
uals right wrongs they will not be
righted. One of the greatest needs
Tor social reform is better homes fo.
the poor. In my concern we did a
business of $69O,0OO, and our losses
We're not one-fourth OF one per cent.
That answers the Islander that people
don't want better homes, and that
if you give them decent accomomda-
lions they will not pay and will mis-
use good property
The problem is to afford to the less
favored sections of society decent
homes where they can live decent,
well-ordered lives at a reasonable rem
tai.
1t is the duty of the individual to
take an active interest in the solution
of the problem by which through phil
anthrop.c investment it is possible
both to do good and to get the ordi-
nary return upon the money invested.
This is Christian business. This is
the one problem in the sphere of So
cial action, the solution of which is
easy, it is possible to do good to pee
pie with personal profit. This is the
fundamental proposition, to improve
the home life of people.
Scarcely an effort at model hous-
ing las failed to be a financial sue
cess. London has $10,OO0,OC0 in
vested in improved tcnements, whio9
pay from 4 to per cent. Out of $17O,-
100000 invested in such enterprises
there is {. record Of only three per
cent. of failures.
One of the easiest things in the
world is to invest so as to get a nor
NAL return, and at the same time do
good. This I call double-barreled
philanthropy, and l can find no term
to substitute for it.
About three hundred apartments
will be provided in the Brooklyn model
tenements. 1t is proposed to rent
the rooms at $1.O5 a week, or about
SIS a month for a four-room apart
ment. Four rooms in new law tene-
ments in the neigkIborhood are about
1922.

Congressional AppOrtiOnments.

It will be seen that under the ap-
portionment of 1910 ten fen were cut
off from the total number and it was
not until 1860 that the number in
creased to its former figure. The fig
ures for the various states show some
remarkable ups and downs. Thus, Ala
bama increased until 1860, when she
lost one, but ten years later gained
two; Georgia started with two, reached
nine in 1880, lost one in 1910, and
another in 1860, but got bac kto nine
in 1870, to ten in 1880, and ito eleven
in 1880. Kentucky had two in 1890,
increased to thirteen in 1880, lost thr.e
in 1910, another in 1860, regafned one
in 1870, and now has two less than
in 1880.
Virginia has shown the greatest
changes of any state. In 1890 She
had the largest delegation of any
Of the states. This she increased IN
til she reached % in 1910. In 1920
She had p, in 1880 u, in 1910 IL,
in 1850 10, in 1860 Il, in 1910 8; b 1t
In 1889 she gained one, and she has
since stood at 10. 1t is true that 4
part OF her loss since 1860 has been
occasioned by the separation of West
virginia, but by adding the five OF
'nat state to her ten, she would stu
nave four less than she had up n
l'90' and less than she had 200 years
ago.

Comparison of Forces.

/ The thing that irritates most is that
France, who by her own energy and
enterprise and the courage of her
pilots has led the world for so long
in the conquest of the air by aeropIane
has now allowed Germany so to out
distance her in military aeronautics.
The German superiority applies not
only to dirigibles, but to hangers. ia
citit es, for repair, the supply of hy-
drogen, the training of aerial crews
and all that will go to make for sue
cess in the possible war in the air"
Of the future
The French army has at present on
ly three dirigibles-the Vile de Paris.
the Colonel Renard and La Liberte.
But none of them is in a condition to
take the field, or the air, tomorrow.
Against this Germany has her fifteen
dirigibles ready to cross the frontier.
France has two military hangers,
one at Verdun and the other at Chalais
Meudon, but they are too small to
take the latest type of aerial dread
nougLrs and at present the balloon
must be built to fit the hangar. or, as
Senator Raymond said, the horse
must be measured to fit tn estable."
And on the other hand Germany has
a line of twenty-three hangers dis
posed along the frontier, ready TO re,
ce've any one of the fifteen dfrigible
would immed ately rush up TIE
balloons now in service. which are in
turn ready to act as scouts for the
army of 100000 men which Germany
frontier should war threaten.
Disaster Stopped Progress.
Moreover, France has no means of
producing hydrogen cheapIy, no rail
way wagons for its transport, no
searchlights suitable for discovering
attacking dir.gibles at night, and no
system of wireless telegraphy applied
to dirigibles. All these things Ger
many has
The state of the French army in aero
nautics is described by sober newspa-
pers as "deplorable," and startling"
and this opinion for once is not inspf--
ed by political differences. France
feels that she wants some more tangi-
Bile returns for the money and the lives
she has spent in the air.
Since the disaster to the La Repub-
lique when the crew Of four were
instantly killed, the progress of the
dirigible seems to have stopped in the
French army.
The present agitation only shows
how far opinion has Ieaped forward
in the last twelve months or so, dur
ing which time man has begun to
fly about over the earth. France ever
gazing across the frontier at the d.
ings of her great armed rival, feels
that some day before very long h3r
very existence may be threatened byI
an aerial invasion across the frontier
acting in concert with Germany's le-
gions on the ground And it is signi-
ficant that in this latest comparis II
of military strength England is nev5r
even mentioned.
