OIner organizations having the same
general interests There was within
their reach only one organization
with sufficient power to get just
treatment for its members, and that
was the American Federation of La
Dor, from which organization the
Federation of Men Teachers holds it's
charter.
This federation desires to disabuse
the public mind of prejudice against
the labor movement in general and of
the relations of this organization to
it in particular. 1t feels obligated to
undertake this great task because of
the superior opportunity for clear
vision enjoyed by its members and
also because of a certain protest
which has arisen against the idea of
the teaching profession allying itself
with thing so low as mere labor.
Many people, not few teachers,
still believe the teacher should hold
himself aloof from the practical
world, content to take his pay largely
in glory-to be accorded to him here
after. In the eyes of those who hold
this position, the teaching profession,
is de-spiritualized and degraded if its
members take any part in the irre-
pressible conflict between the pro-
ducers of value and the mere takers
thereof
This position is based on the logic |
of monasticism, which is, that the !
way to save wicked world is to get |
out of it. Again, the holder of such a !
position sees in this conflict only a |
struggle for the material evidence of |
wealth. In reality the struggle is one
for greater freedom from material |
things, so the spiritual side of human
nature may have fighting chance.
By the very fact that we have to |
live with our bodies, all spiritual de-
velopment of the masses waits upon
the equitable distribution of wealth.

PROBLEM TO ESTABLISH
LINEN INDUSTRY IN U. S.
Artificial Method Of Preparing Flax
for Spinner, and Market
Must Be Found.

Two problems must be solved before
It is possible to establish a real linen
industry In the United States, which IS
the greatest consumer Of linen in the
world. says the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce.
One Is to find some artificial method
Of preparing the fax straw for the
spinner, thus relieving the max grower
Of this task. and the other is to con-
vince the American public that Amer
lean made linen is as good as any
other.
In the United States fax has been
raised almost entirely for the seed.
which is used to make the we'll known
lfnseed oil so necessary for the pro-
duction of good paints and varnishes.
OF some 10000 900 acres of fax raised
in this country in 1915, the Department
Of Agriculture estimates that only
1000 acres were devoted to fax for
hber. The bulk Of the straw from the
seed bearing plants is burned and used
for fertilizer. 1t should be borne in
mind, however, that fax growing for
seed and fax growing for fiber are
separate and distinct industries. Some
fax is grown for both seed and fiber,
but a decision must be made as to
which is to be the more important
product, Just as the sheep raiser must
decide whether mutton or wool is to
be the primary consideration.

Homeseekers- New Features.

a new high record for sizes and rentals
of apartments in the National Capital.
An outstanding feature of the pres
ent building operations Is the lack Of
desirable apartments within the means
of the small rent payer. A few four
room fats have been built, renting for
SIS and SIS month. but they are I'M
heated and have no janitor service. In
other cities modern apartments of
three. four and FIVE rooms may be found
for as low a rental as IS and Sc per
room. The fact that Washington is

responsible for the failure of realty
operators to provide cheaper apart

range of income. That there is de-
mand for apartments here at lower
rentals is evidenced by the quick rent
ing of all the $40 and s22 suites of two
rooms IN a building completed this
summer. There are eighteen such
apartments in the building, all rented,
while number of the larger and high
er priced suites have never been occu-
pied. A row Of two-story houses erect
ed in Mount Pleasant last year which
contain three and four room apart
nlents and rent for $3.50 to $3.50 have
also proved an attractive proposition.
Except that the roof of one new
building will be utilized as an ice-skat-
ing rink IN winter. and that the pam
tries of some of the expensive apart
ments contain huilt-in ice cream freeZ-
ers. there are few innovations or frills
this year that have not previously been
introduced. Concrete construction

ally fire and sound proof. is a feature
that has been more largely adopted. A
feature that has been adopted extern
sively Is the pantry between the kitch-
ems and dining rooms of small as well
as large apartments.
Open fireplaces will be found in some
of the four-room suites renting for $40,
as well as in the larger apartments.

At no time in the history of building
operations in the National Capital have
so many new apartments been provided
at one time as will be ready for oc-
cupancy when the annual moving day.
October /. comes around this year.
With thirty-five apartment buildings,
containing an aggregate of 1000 suites,
nearing completion, the Washington
homeseeker has a larger number and
wider variety of new accommodations
to choose from this season than ever
before. Including more than 800 suites
completed during the spring and sum-
mer and those that will not be finished
until the end of the year, the number
of apartments provided during 1915
bids fair to approximate a total OF
1900. This unprecedented activity in
apartment house construction has been
carried on entirely in the northwest
section of the city.
The apartments range from mansion
like accommodations having twenty
rooms and five baths, which may be
leased at a rental equaling a cabinet
officers salary, to the single room and
married Office worker. Three and four
room apartments provided this season
exceed in number any other size suite.
All Of the thirty new buildings, but
seven, contain three and four room
apartments in addition to suites of
other sizes. while eight of the build
ings contain apartments of the three
and four room type exclusively The
number of apartments having four
rooms or less is larger than the num-
or more. OF the thirty new buildings
hve contain total of 2S7 one and two
room apartments
For the bachelor maid or single man
are one-room suites in the new buildings
for as low rental as $3.50 and for
high as $50 per month The rentals of
the two-room ents-one room
and kitchen or two-room non-house

These bungalows. which were built
by H. l. Thornton. contain from five
to seven rooms and bath. with ample
air space under the roofs and with
plenty of basement room. All floors
and trim are of hardwoods and the
bungalows are heated with modern
misunderstanding plants. All OF the
houses are lighted electrically. The
bungalows were built to meet the re-
quirements of families Of moderate
size and moderate income. It is under
stood that while the present operation
of six bungalows Is completed. the
builder plans to erect other California
bungalow homes in the Takoma Park,
