TO 0UTDo MADISON SQUARE
Mammoth Affair-To Be Known
as "BroadWay Gardens"

New York-"Broadway Gardens" is

with business structures. Announce
ment has been made by the archi-
tects for the new arena that the COM

corporated next week with $1,500,000
capital.
The mammoth structure will oc-
cupy the entire block on Broadway
between Forty-seventh and Forty
eighth streets, and will extend back to
within 100 feet of Eighth avenue. In
every way it will be larger than Mad
ison Square Garden. The main en-

FEWER DIVORCES IN COUNTRY

theorizing on this divorce subject too
much already; you need practical
demonstration" he said. is hardly
necessary for me to tell you that this
is country crowd / want to call
your attention to the fact that through
out these grounds the farmers, as q
rule, are accompanied by their wives.
AS We walk over the place note II
everywhere. YOU will observe very
young couples, middle-aged couples,
old couples-they're paired off, man
and wife, looking at the cattle, sheep,
hogs, horses and poultry and discus
sing them together.
Just listen, If you please, while
that young farmers wife talks about
the individuality of that Hereford.
And don't fail to see that her hus-
band is listening I'll bet a 81 dog
that they have Herefords on their
place and that she knows as much
about the stock they are breeding as
he does.
Look all over the place. 1 don't
care where you go, you will find that
the one predominating fact in this
crowd is the mutual search of the
farmer and his wife for enlighten-
ment on the same subject-the farm
business. They are partners and the
wife is potent force in the firm.
You don't see any silk stockings nor
cIinging skirts here this morning. No,
these country people have something
besides physical attractions to occupy
their minds, and as have stated, the
farmers and their wives are partners
That is the reason you don't hear
much about divorce in the country"

HOMES ARE SCARCE
Lack of Cottages for Rising Gen.
GRAFTON Is Serious Problem.
Many Married Couples Are Forced
to Wait for Many Years for Habit
alton Engagements Last
Many Years.

London.-The Chelmsford laborer
who was forced into a workhouse be-
cause there Is no cottage procurable
is no isolated victim of the dearth
thing in the country for marriages to
be postponed for years solely owing
to want of houses.
Close to Dunmow is notorious
marriageless district, and in spite OF
a number of would-be village bene-
diets. In number of Hunting
donshire villages engagements OF
ten and fifteen years standing
are common. The couples either
wait indefinitely till cottage is
available or migrate to the towns or
emigrate. An observant motorist
through the eastern midlands could
soon reckon up hundred vanished
homesteads still traceable by either
ruins or rectangular foundations Gov
cred by the work of worms and moles.
Only wealthy landlords can afford
to build cottages. The duke of Bed
ford, in Cambridgeshire; the duke of
Buccleugh, in parts of Northampton
and Huntington; the university col
leges, and, best of all, the ecclesiasti-
cal commissioners have built many
good cottages for moderate rents; and
have done it in spite OF financial loss.
Some smaller landowners have done
their best to erect cheap cottages.
There is one notable and most sue
cessful example near Salisbury, where
the use of local concrete has solved
the problem; but in general every
other village in the remoter parts
of the country is short of cottages.
Here other local bodies have built,
but in almost all cases the rents are
more than laborers can pay.
Local bylaws prevent buildings.
They permit the folk to live in un-
healthy cottages; they permit over
crowding and ali sorts of insanitary
conditions, simply because they dare
not turn out the inhabitants. At the
same time they enforce the letter OF
absurd regulations upon anyone de-
string to build, and so discourage en-
terprise. Beyond all question the
rural birth rate is immensely dimin-
ished by the progressive want of cot
tages. A gardener with children finds
his services absolutely unsaleable,
and mo encumbrances" has become
cardinal virtue.
The only solution of the great ma
tional question is the cheap cottage.
A member of a leading firm of build
ers said to representative of this
journal that if cottages were stand
ardized they could easily build G120
cottages by means of concrete slabs,
but absolute standardization would be
necessary. Comfortable cottages have
recently been built in some OF the
new intensive gardens for ESQ. With
these French gardeners are delighted,
but the English workmen will not
accept home of wood and CORFU
gated iron.

HOW TO RUN TRAIN IN TUBE
Proposed English Scheme Is to Have
Cars Slow Down at Stations, but
Never Come to Stop.

Portsmouth, new system of tube
railways was explained to the en-
gineering section of the British asso-
citation. At first sight it seemed as If
the scheme unfouled by an American
engineer, Yarath Lewis, must have
some radical flaw in it, but when men
like Professor Coker, Captain Sankey,
Professor Dolby and Charles Howks-
ley discussed it seriously the interest
and Importance of the proposal be-
came evident.
Briefly, the idea is to have cars at
tached at short intervals to a screw
shaft running the whole length of the
line. On the shaft the thread is varied
between stations it is extended, at
stations it is compressed. The cars,
therefore, slow down when they reach
a station, but do not stop. At speed
of three miles an hour they pick up
passengers as they go along. No
brakes or signals are required.
The speed, it is estimated, would be
25 per cent. higher than in present
tube railways, the initial cost only
half as great, and the working ex-
penses smaller The shaft would he
worked by power stations at fairly fire.
quent intervals.
Mr.. Lewis pointed out that in Lon
don a street journey of two miles
could only be accomplished at a lit
tie more than double fast walking
pace, and added that evidently some
better system was required. The EN-
cheering advantages of the scheme
is that there is no dead stop" of en-
erby, since when Inc train halts at a
station the slowing up of the cars
helps to wind the screw and returns so
per cent. of the energy expended in
quickening up. The system, it was
mentioned, can be seen at work at
Messrs. Rsnsomes' works in Ipswich.
