reads:
Whereas an order has been issued
by me dated August 5. 1914. declaring
that all radiO-StatiOnS within the
jurisdiction of the United States of
America were prohibited from trans
mitting or receiving for delivery
messages of an unneutral nature and
from in any way renderino to any one
Of the belligerents any unneutral
service; and,
Whereas it is desirable to take
precautions to insure the enforcement
Of said order insofar as it relates to
the transmission Of code and cipher
messages by high powered stations
capable of transatlantic communica-
| ton:
Now, therefore. it is ordered b vir-
tue of authority vested in me by the
| radio act of August 13, 1912, that one
| or more high-OpWered radio stations
within the jurisdiction of the United
! States and capable of trans Atlantic

] the government of the United States
and used or controlled by it to the
| exclusion of any other control G. use
for the purpose of carrying on com
munication with land stations in Eu

| THE enforcement of this order and
the preparation of regulations there
fore is hereby delegated to the Secre-
tary of the Navy, who is authorized
and directed to take such action in the
premises as to him may appear neceS-
sary.
This order shall take effect from
and after this date, September S

other is a cottage that represents
tho average type OF cottage seen to-
day, although some mills are branch
ing out from the usual style and
are erecting better houses than this.
The old house Is still standing in
the village at Long Island which was
erected twenty-five years ago. The
house Is occupied by an old couple.
There are only Il few of these houses
now In existence, and even in the
older mills they are being replaced
by new and more up-to-date cottages,
as Is the case in Long Island. The
houses then were seldom ceiled or
plastered. and the families who came

With the cottages the mills have

Five years ago 1t was unusual to see

Of the mills have placed them in at

money wasted unless the people
really want them. as there are q

screen doors propped open. Another
story is told Of another mill man who
attempted to start a welfare work be-

it. He placed screens in every cot

there were two or three families liv-

Wonderful Changes.

is wonderful to note the changes

to the mills at that time moved from
