explained the situation TO them in their
own tongue, and so far as was human
" possible this effort has been pro-

realize the seriousness of the situa-
ton, for which they themselves are
not primarily responsible, and they
have honestly done their best not 10

mental to Fifth avs interests. The
aid of the police to keep the throng'
moving and the street passable has
been invoked again and again. Many
ether eXpedients have been tried, some
Of which have given temporary relief.
Yet the evil persisted, and as more
and more loft buildings entered the
section the congestion in the work
shops become more pronounced, the
MONDAY throngs in the street became
worse and the nuisance became greater
instead of less.
FINALLY. yesr or so ago, com
prchensive plan was formed by the as
ISOLATION for seeking corrective for
this unnatural condition OF affairs
through legislation. Principally
through the associations efforts,
State Factory Commission was ap'
pointed. Also on the associations ini-
tiative, a Fifth av. commission was
named by the Borough President of
Manhattan. The last named body. com
posed of leading architects, business
men and others of prominence who
we're active members of the assoela-
ton. made many important sugges-
tions as TO Fifth av. improvements,
and number of these recommenda-
tons have since been put into effect.

surfing Fifth avs permanent charm
and Of saving 10 from becoming
mere sunless canyon between ranks of
towering and gloomy factories.
"The State Factory Commission, after
holding many hearings and probing
factory conditions in all parts of the
state, finally recommended many new
laws and regulations as TO wider stair
ways in manufacturing plants, more
light. air and better sanitary condi-
tions, fewer operatives a floor, etc As
result of these new laws. some OF
which were proposed by the associa-
ton and aimed at abuses that had pre-
vailed in the retail part of the city,
and the expected restriction Of build
ing heights to normal limits, IL is con-
fidently believed the Fifth av. district
will soon have far fewer attractions
for garment and m scellaneOus manu-
facturers than has been the case in late
wears. UUder the new order OF things

part and parcel with the fight against

trict has been the constant warfare
waged by the association against the

For the purpose OF simple e1rlana-

mites, such as coronations, funerals,
etc. and places those entitled 70 attend
in their strict order of precedence.
This varies according 20 the occs-
sion. At royal wedding or funeral
the order Of precedence might, in GER
tain details, according TO circum-
stances. vary from that Of a corona

peerage possess two claims 10 prece-
dence, personal and an official one,
ne "a ranked according 10 whichever Of
these is the higher. There are, how
ever, exceptions even in such cases.
Suppose the son OF duke is summoned
10 the House of Lords in bsrony Of
his fathers, his rank forthwith inks
20 that of a baron, and he would be far
below the sons of dukes in the table Of
social precedence. Similarly, il an
Irish peer becomes a member Of Par
lament, IL would only be in the latter
capacity that ne will be summoned 20 a
coronation.
The position OF the children OF
living peer or bsronet furnishes an
other popularity OF precedence, for
they rank before their aunts and
uncles simply because they have prior
claim 10 succeed 20 the family title.
For this reason, too, the children OF
King George take precedence over all
other members of the royal family
styled royal highness. That is to say.
the Prince Of Wales comes before the
Duke Of Connsught, and the Princess
of Wales before his msjesty's sisters,
the Princess Royal and Princess Vic
