Plans to Provide
War Workers With
Homes Discussed
Crowded Conditions at In.
dustrial Centres Taken Up
by Defence Council

WASHINGTON, Oct. I.-Crowded liy-
ing conditions which are hsmpering war
work in industrial centres were dis
cussed to-day by the National Defence
Councils Advisory Commission, with a
view to formulating some policy by
which quick relief may be afforded
either through actual government
financing Of community home building
or aiding private enterprise.
The situation is acute in many cities,
notably Bridgeport, Conn; Akron,
Ohio; Newport News and Norfolk, Va,
and in several New Jersey towns, the
commission was told by Philip Hiss, a
New York architect and chairman OF
the councils subcommittee on housing,
which has just visited the principal
Eastern and Middle Western industrial
centres.

Hunger and Privation.
From the Montgomery Advertise,

The Advertiser would emphasize the
piea OF the committee OF ladies, for aid for
destitute negroes living in the country as
MADE In saturdays Advertiser. The need
OF many negroes in the country is keen
and pressing; the Christmas spirit, at this
time and under conditions as they exist.
can md no worthier objects upon which
10 express itself than upon the cold and
hungry negroes, who are undergoing pri-
vations which negroes never knew before
In middle Alabama.
AS early as last August the Advertiser,
IN Its editorial columns, drew attention to
the inevitable results of the failure OF the
cotton crop. The landlords. without re-
turns from their farms and plantations,
Were themselves without resources. Any
number OF them in recent weeks have
haa; Tor ne first time to mortgage their
W families and TO prepare for a new
crop year. The advances made to the ne
groes Tor the CROP year Just closed were
gone for good; in general such advances
were complete losses. Perhaps some Of
the landlords wero generous enough and
able enough to feed and supply the ne
groes living on their places until next
But In most instances, with the farmer
and the planter no better off in q, finan-
cial way than the negro tenant. all the
mules, the hogs, the corn and whatever
RESOURCES there may have been were coll
lected, to meet pressing obligations. In
most Instances this years adversely has
completely stripped the negro. He and his
FAMILY know hunger which can not be sat
tyhed; they have come face to face with
the bitterest privation.
There is no sensationalism, no exagger-
atlon In this presentation of the case. In
the cabins on the farms and plantations,
the negroes are going hungry and cold.
Inere Is no hope among them OF having
ANYTHING for Christmas; they have now
not ever the expectation of being fed and
clothed warmly 80
So far, the only practical effort to re-
neVe the privation and destitution among
the unfortunate negroes Is represented In
the efforts OF a committee Of ladies' com
posed Of Mrs. A. b. Garland, Miss Nimmo
Green and Miss Estelle Mitchell. These
ladies' have already done much for some
or the unfortunates--but the need is so
general, the privation so pressing that il
oiIers q field for the aroused charity OF the
CITY. What has been done is only a be-
ElnnHg; the sufferings can not be re-
neVed IN any general way unless there Is
an awakening in the city to the repellant
tact that on the farms about the city hu-
man beings are experiencing the gnawing
bangs OF hunger and men, women and
children are facing freezing weather in a
Few rags.
Do you feel the impulse to help the hum
cry and the suffering? The time and the
opportunity are here.

The President Arises Early.
From the Louisville Courier-Journ

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
President Wilson has a well defined
schedule mapped out for his daily work
when in Washington. He sticks to this
schedule closely. 1t calls for his arising
at the early hour Of 5 o'clock. Then he
later. than $3.50 o'clock.
Usually The president is met in his
study by his s~tenographer, Charles
SVEN. Charlie" as he is known about
the White House, takes dicration until
. o'clock. which is the presidents
breakfast hour. Breakfast over, Mr..
Wilson is accustomed TO return to his
study to continue his morning debating.
or to study some matter which requires
his immediate attention, such as the
selection or a commission or the ap-
prevail or disapproval Of acts of con-
gress, when it is in session.
About $3.50 o'clock in the morning the
president receives a list Of appoint
ments which Secretary Tumulty has
made for him at the executive Offices.
These engagements ever begin until
10 o'clock. Few of them are for longer
than half an hour. These engagements
run up to about IL o'clock, the presi-
dent always leaving the office building
for the White House for luncheon not
later than ! o'clock.
Usually the presidents afternoons
have, been given over to recreation. OF
course, this was impossible for the two
weeks prior to the adjournment Of con-
gress, with the exception of short mo-
tor rides. The president played golf
but a few times during the railroad
crisis. He then only did so because
DIR. Grayson thought it advisable for
him to get a little outdoor exercise. On
the motor rides and at the golf matches
Mrs. Wilson was always his companion.
The motor trips are usually owe by
6 o'clock, so there is ample time to pre-
pare for 7 o'clock dinner. Most of the
presidents evenings have been devoted
to work.
For the last few months there has
been a great mystery about the White
House. 1t has to do with one OF the
means which tie president employees to
relax from his presidential duties. This
form of amusement is nothing more
thar the good old game of pool, or,
speaking in more polite terms, pocket
Billiards.
When the conditions are normal at
the White House the president has two
means Of relaxation other than playing
billiards. HeN takes great delight IN
reading poetry aloud. The other form
Of amusement is the reading of detec-
tive stories. There is a government
employe in Washington wins considers
II his especial duty to keep he presi-
lent supplied with the latest detective
stories.
President Wilson does not believe II
wise to keep the midnight oil burning
Therefore, the hour Of II O'Clock usu-
ally finds his in bed. More often it is
before II o'clock that he retires. This is
necessary because Of his early risings.
The following sign could properly be
posted upon the door Of the White
House offices:
"Office hours, 5 o'clock in the morn
ing until 1890 O'Clock at night"

Do You Hike?
From the Outing Magazine.

tA~ OSNAAAo
Probably everybody knows that there
is an increased amount Of walking
lately in New York city because OF the
anemic but much advertised car strike
1t is needless 20 add more han ths
fact that as a whole, the descendants OF
Father Knickerbocker do not enjoy 1t
Regardless Of how we may feel about
walking on pavements, it is true that
hiking" Is growing in favor again
There is no better time for it than u
tumn. Summer dust is largely .gont
because Of the freshened and stiffel
winds Of the season, and the colors OF
fading trees and flowers are entrance
ing beyond description II one will only
keep his eyes away from his feet
Vistas are not so extensive as in spring
because Of the haze that shrouds the
hilltops and even the prairies, nor are
they SO green.
We are learning, however, hat the
far pastures are not always so attrac-
tive as distance and false teaching
have made them seem. The home
things and the simple things easily
within reach are the beN things after
all. Plain clothes Of simple make but
rough enough to withstand a few
briars IL VIZ wander from the beaten
way, heavy shoes for ~reStfulness. and q
camera instead Of rosemary for re-
membrance are the Goth century re-
quirements Of the Ponce de Leon who
wants the fountain Of youth.

Died to a Martial Air.

A battalion OF French chasseurs sta.
:ioned In the Vosges was attacked and
\ short but lively battle ensued. The
commander, favorably known for many
brave deeds in action, was riding be.
fore the front Of his battalion; by his
own example inspiring his men on to
greater valor. He was mortally
wounded. When It was discovered that
his case was hopeless and life was
ebbing away. he was asked II he had
any wish.
"Yes. let the buglers come" said the
dying officer. Sound the march OF
Sidi Brahim."
The buglers placed themselves
around the dying chief and sounded the
glorious march while life was going
out. n he died while the strains OF
he martial march were on the air.
The name Of sid Brahim" was
given to that march in commemoration
of the desperate defense offered by
three companies Of the chaussers Of
the Montagna column. attacked by
Add -el-Hader during the Algerian con-
quest on September 90 and 90, 1S45.
Most Of the little columnR was mas
sacred. Tbs survivors took refuge In
the mosque of Sidi Brahim. a nearby
village. where they held out. without
food or water. for two days and then
cut their way back TO the French camp.

"Winter weather diminishes greatly

and brings such a glow of warmth from
the body itself. If the pedestrian Ia
properly clad, especially in respect to
Keeping dryshod, all of the effects OF
winter walking should be beneficial.
With a little care and discretion such
exercise can be made as agreeable as 1t
Is wholesome. Rightly timed and kept
within bounds, winter walking Is O.
good ]precaution against the i'll effects
of sedentary life and too much indoor

II They Could Keep It Up.

There have been big men in Wall
street who did all the work themselves,
who attended to every minute item ;
who were from Missouri in regard to
every point I'm any proposition put up
to them. One of these marvels was
among the very greatest financiers the
country ever had; but he didn't last
long, and there have been few others
like him. Ii q man with the first or
der Of brains and ability could only
keep 1t up, there is nothing to pre-
vent his owning the United States. II
r. III. Hartman could have. kept on
Is or 20 years longer at the pace he
was going he would have gobbled up
all the railroads in sight, and he was
just getting a strange hold on the big
banks. He conquered every square
foot of territory as he went along.
There was no force on earth to stop
him except premature death-and now
he is almost forgotten.-A. w. Atwood

Trench Descriptions Vivid.

; The soldier is not usually a man of
words, but he can string them together
very effectualiyS at times, and some of
his SMILES would not disgrace our
American cousins, past masters though
they are in the art Of picturesque and
vivid phrasemaking. "He would pinch
the sugar from your tea while you were
stirring it," Is the description / heard
applied to one warrior with confused
ideas of ownerships, and Of another of
p~arsimoniOus habits 1t was said that
'he filings his money about like a maj
with no arms!"-London Chronicle.
