cheaper grades of beef are not so

Tenement House Industries
n the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The scant wages and long hours of the sweatshop workers and the insanitary conditions of tenement house industries that breed disease and cause suffering among New Yorks poor was the subject at the annual meeting of the Consumers league at the Ethical Culture school. There was an exhibition of goods made In tenement houses and stereopticon views illustrating the work actually going on. The photographs were taken last fall. The exhibits number 60 and show samples of work done. The wages the worker gets for his or her labor also are presented
 For mere pittance tired hands, spur red on by the gaunt specter of necessity, work from daybreak until night in rooms i'll lighted and poorly ventilated, One willow plume on exhibition contains 730C knots, the work of woman and her three children, for which they received s210 Thousands eke out an existence making artificial flowers for which they receive from 3 to 6 cents a gross. The average daily earning of worker is 30 cents. Children as young as years and men 90 years of age are shown working side by side. Crocheted bed slippers which find such a ready sale in the shops are made in the tenements and paid for at the rate of 40 cents dozen pair.
 Another luxury enjoyed by women of wealth and fashion is the chiffon gown. Few of the wearers Of these delicate lace creations realize that the lace Is a product of densely packed tenements of the Italian quarter. The Italians are ex- pert lace makers and one of the photo- graphic exhibits shows a boy of 12 em- broiderihg lace for chiffon gown.

Care-Free Bermudas
rom the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 Coral and palms and all-the-year flow- CTS make fairy playground for hustle Tagged Yankees, and Bermuda loves ot have them around They board in her hotels and drive in her livery hacks, automobiles being barred; they buy her souvenirs and drop shillingS for peeps at sea gardens and craystal caves. They sprinkle showers of half-pence upon laughingly clamorous brown urchins by the roadside, spend tons of pennies for postcards, and more tons for green stamps and send them over the seas. The one thing a Yankees money can not buy Is an island which, at first glance, seems piggish of Bermuda, see ing she has nice coral one for every day in the year. But she has her req son. If an American will accept her restrictions he may build himself a villa, and welcome, but he must not try to ignore Bermuda's rights. She likes Uncle Sam for a big chum, but she likes him to understand that when Ad- miral Sir George planted the British flag on the island it was there to stay.
 Bermuda is baby world, playing all by herself In the ocean. 600 miles from across the street. She is so joyously carefree that even her clocks do not bother about the time of day. Her mali comes in spasmodically and she doesn' in the least care when 1t goes out. She has no slums and her diseases are the old fashioned sort. Bermuda Is so guilelessly gay, so childishly extravagant with her sun shine and palms and scarlet blossoms. and so airily chummy with her Amer ican cousin across the blue. that soul above charts might mistake her for an innocent girl in a white frock and lowered sash. except for the British warships in her harbor and the cannon on her heights.
 In the sylvan greenery there are vistas of forts and garrisons. The Union Jack flares its crimson against the green of the palmfand cedar

Terminal Charges

From the survey.
 It is the transportation system that makes the modern city possible. and upon its design more than upon any other controllable factor of the city's physical mak the cost of living de- bends, since 1t greatly affects those chief items of the domestic budget rent and supplies. Leaving aside land rent, which in the city may be but an index of the difficulties and cost of transportation to more distant compet- tive land, very large percentage of the cost to the consumer for building materials. for food supplies, for fuel and even for clothing and other less bulky necessities, is represented by the cost of transportation and of the trans fers incidental to a complicated sys- tenn of transportation and distribution. The cost of the long rail haul and the long water haul have already been reduced to such degree that 1t is, as a matter of fact. the terminal charges and the cost of hauling and transfers within the city itself that seem to offer the greatest possibilities of fur ther economy.
 Neither the railroad mana gements nor the people seem yet to be educated quite Np to the point of undertaking fair and frank cooperative study of the plant, equipment methods and costs of railroad terminal facilities in city, and of the opportunities for in- creased economy and efficiency through better planning and better relation with local means of transportation by rail and by wagon: although a number of recent reports. notably that of the Metropolitan improvements commits sion of Boston. show a drift of opinion in that direction.
