The Hague.-ln every town of any
Importance in Holland movements for
the better housing of the work people
are on foot, and this year has seen the
initiation of plan for providing their
homes with good, solid and graceful
furniture-"furni with a soul" as
1t has been expressed.
In a beautiful part OF the province
Of Utrecht, overlooking undulat!ng for
est and heathland, a furniture factory
has been opened. The capital for the
enterprise-about 2000 900 forms $780,
O00) has been subscribed in shares
of 80 forms t$20). and in smaller
shares of only ten forms -four dollars)

from joining Skilled designers, car,
penters and furniture makers have
been engaged and have all taken
shares in the business. The net profits
are to be divided as follows: five per
cent. to the shareholders and 40 per

comfort and practicability, and the fur

ship and education Of Austria Hungary,
is now on visit to this country in
the interest of international peace. He
has come to deliver series of lee

problem In Europe and to urge this
country to become the worlds leader

not his first visit to the United States.
He came here In 1904 to attend the
peace conference held at st. Louis. He
has been active In the cause of tie

Walter L. Fisher of Chicago, vice
president OF the National Conserva-
ton Association. was appointed in
Ballingef's stead.
The retirement of Mr. Ballinger
brings 10 close the most sensation
al incident thus far of the Taft adj
ministrltion. 1t began with a diff
ference N conception of policy to-
ward The treatment of public lands,
especially the forest preserves, be-
TWEEN Mr.. Ballinger and Clifford Pin
chot then chief forester of the
United States. Open warfare broke
out when charges relating to Mr..
Ballinser's administration of public
lands. specially TO the treatment by
the general land office of the so-called
Cunningham coal lands claims in
Alaska were filed with the president
by l.. r. CLAWS, then a field agent
Of the land office. AS a result OF
these charges, CLAWS was dismissed
from the service by order of the
president. Mr. Pinchot later espOused
CLAWS cause, and he too was dis
missed by the secretary of agricul-
ture. likewise under orders from the
president. From that time on the
battle RACED with increased heat aud
finally eliminated in a congressional
investigation, in which the majority
found for Ballinger and the minority
found him guilty as charged. This
report was never acted upon by
COngress.

tains, but 1t is the aim of the company
to reduce these hours as much as shall
be proved practicable by experience.
1t can be inferred from the system of
profit sharing that in the course of
time the whole business may become
the property Of the men employed
therein.
Several useful rules regarding per-
sonal cleanliness and the cleanliness Of
houses and workshops have been laid
down. The fines imposed for noncom-
piance go to swell the sick benefit
fund. Although a goodly proportion
of the furniture is hand made, there
is plenty of machine work as well, for
large quantities OF pieces are already
being turned out and there is an in
creasing demand for these articles. A
large house on the road to Utrecht has
been fitted up for show rooms, where
every apartment is filled with complete
sets OF furniture for all sorts of houses
and for all sorts and conditions OF
men,"
The factory does not confine itself
exclusively to the less expensive grades
of furniture. Other exquisite articles
are also turned out, for, as the man
agement remarks: 1T would not do to
be too one-sided, for then the men
would lose that ambition in their work
which plenty of variety brings" So
every employee may now and then de-
sign and make as fine a piece of furni-
ture as he can imagine

IMPRISONED FOR SMUGGLING

To defraud the government Of the
United States of its customs coming

darling wish of many women ever
since Americans have been able to In
dulge In the luxury OF an ocean voy-
age. Miss Multimillionaire. secure IN
her social position. did not like to be
held up on the dock and made to pay
large sums for being caught trying to
swindle the government But when
she is caught finally she chafes under
her treatment. but society stands by
her and that encourages others to fol-
low her example.
To remove this prop from the fash
ionable woman the authorities have
decided to Jail those caught in de-
frauding Uncle Sam Of his dues. This
penalty, 1t Is thought. will prevent rep
