There Is no reward in the world Of

sin against beauty. for It deprives a
woman of the privilege Of dressing as

Immense Population Overflow
Cannot Wait for Slow
Work on the Subways.

Real estate operators are getting ready
for another big overflow OF population
into new home sections.
Old centres are being crowded worse
than ever with the return OF the masses
that spend the winter In town. The
capacity Of Manhattan and the nearer
suburban districts Is taxed close to the
limit Transit ines are carrying all Of
the passengers that they can handle
comfortably.
Congestion IL growing every week IN
ell parts Of the older city. In Harlem the
home population 10 being crowded be-
POND all former density. Nearly . MIL
lion persons live in the district boteen
One Hundredth street and Harlem river.
Even he district courts are swamped
and vert calling for help this week to
clear their rapidly increasing business.
Indications point to q continuance Of
swift growth in both business and home
sections. Competition for housing &C.
~commodations everywhere promises to
hold rents firmly at prevailing high
levels and to raise them sharply In the
more desirable localities during the COM
ing few years.
CANNOT WAIT FOR CITY TO
BUILD TRANSIT LINES.
In view of tho threatened new con.
restion taxpayers In all parts Of the
Greater City have beer In conferences
this week over . new demonstration
for adequate rapid-transit construction.
IL II recognized that pending subway
, projects will not meet the urgent needs
OF metropolitan expansion. Mayor Gay
nor stated yesterday that the city would
not IN 70 the capital available to nnish
| the subway schemes within probably
less than fifteen years. This IL because
the city mas undertaken TO hnance 500. .

J s35 900, 100 10 be contributed from outside
sources.
Taxpayers believe that the subway
system should be completed within Ave
In order TO prevent the develop.
ment Of serious congestion. Yot they
do not want the city to put Its owr
/ money into such big work. mainly be
cause tie city has not the legal priv
iiese Of raising such . sum within the
required lime and partly because II car
make use Of outside capital for prac'
tcaIly all Of the subway construction.
Representatives Of taxpayers In chs
Bronx, Queens. Brooklyn and RlchmonJ
are uniting IN the new movement. The
boards Of brokers In those sections and
civic bodies are ready to exert their In
huence to get h rapid transit situation
into more definite shape.
Most Of them realise that current
pIans for municipal construction may be
held up indefinitely because It has been
proven that the city q assessed the
values Of its real estate about ~ per
cent. higher than ruling market prices.
This was used for the purpose Of Sivins

Heroic
Action In Saving Little Tots
; From Death
(Mt. Gilead SentineD

| The lives of four children were
jeopardized when the house located
about four miles southwest of Den
mark, the last house In Morrow Coun-
ty, just this side of the county line
was destroyed by fire last Wednesday
evening about 8 o'clock.
Charles Ruhlman owned the build.
ing but II was occupied by f. M. Ault,
wife and nine children. The parents
and older children had gone to church
leaving the four youngest ones at
home alone. After the children aged
2 and had been put to bed the other
two, the oldest of whom was only IL,
heard cracking noise and upon go
ing to investigate found the kitchen in
blaze. Each one snatched one of the
little ones from the bed without wait.
ing to put any thing around them,
without getting their own wraps or ev-
en- putting on their shoes they ran to
the house of the nearest neighbor, w.
IL. Miller and wife, about an eighth of
mile away.
The alarm soon became general and
a strenuous effort was made to save
the house but only the summer house
was left, The furniture out of the
front room and few other pieces
were saved.
There was no fire left in the kitchen
stove and II Is thought 1t had been
smouldering for some time as the
blaze started from defective fiue.
There was 5000 insurance on the
building and $500 on the furniture
which does not cover the loss To-
either.
