KOREAN WOMEN NO LONGER SLAVES OF
 THEIR MEN FOLKS

SEOUL, Korea, May 13.--Korean women are no longer slaves of their husbands as in former days, but are ready to assert their rights. Many of them, no longer depend on their husbands for support as of old, but try to obtain their own living in var ious branches of industry. Some of the younger women have gone to Ja- pan of late to work in factories, and whenever invitations are issued by factories in large cities such as Seoul and Pyonyang for girls or wo- men. the applications invariably ex- ceed the number required. There is no doubt that this is largely due to the growing economic pressure felt by the Korean people but it is also partly due to the sense of iridepend- ence that their women-folk now en- certain.
 The time does not seem to be re- mote, when the Korean women will be as independent as their Japanese sisters.

SP0R I s

WASHINGTON, May 20. - With the establishment of a regular air plane mail service between Washing ton and New York, the Postoffice Department considers that the project is experimental only in the sense that a now familiar means of loco motion is to be put practically to a new use The war has demonstrat- ed effectively that the airplane as a conveyance is almost as dependable and safe as an automobile, so the only real obstacle in the way of sue cessfully operating the new air line lies is maintaining service under all kinds of weather conditions.
 The War Department has furnish ed twelve large training planes for use in the new service. Aviators have been detailed from the ranks of fighting airmen, as War Depart ment officials feel that the newly commissioned fliers will acquire val uable training in piloting the big mail carriers over long cross-country flights.
 The planes, each capable of a minimum speed of ninety miles an hour, are built along the lines of tie regulation bombing machine. They are one-seaters as a maximum of space is desired in the fuselage fer the storing of mail bags.
 The schedule provides for the de parture of one plane each day from both Washington and New York The machines leave promptly at 11:30 in the morning, and it is hoped to have the mail at the terminal not later than three hours time Starting from the Mall in Washing ton, near the Washington monument, the trip to Philadelphia, about 135 miles, is expected to be made in about an hour and twenty minutes. At the hangarS in North Philadelphia anOth CT machine will be waiting, ready to start the flight to New York as soon as the incoming plane lands and the transfer of mail bags is ac complished. The second leg of the journey from Philadelphia to Bel mont field, in the Long Island su burbs of New York. should be made in about an hour. The larger planes

Ot to Praeger, Second Assistant Post master General, who has charge of the service, believes that sufficient experience will be gained during the summer to make possible an effec- tive maintenance of the service dur ing the Winter. The great difficulty is in landing successfully in a heavy fog, rain or snOwstorm.
 As the present routes prove sue cessful, plans will be made for ex- the service next Spring to other parts of the country The first extension, MT. Praeger says, will be from New York to Boston. To eliminate delay ar are being worked out for the construction of large nets on the roofs of the central postoffices so that the bags may be dropped while the machine is in flight.

RABBI A SHIPBUILDER

Rabbi Stephen s. Wise Of the
Free synagogue, New York, who has
been working in the shipyards Of the
Luders Marine Construction company
at Stamford. Conn.,. was obliged to quit
his Job owing to pressure Of personal
business. During his last noon hour,
while still wearing his workman's
clothes, he gathered his fellow labor
ers In front Of a platform, made them
q patriotic speech, and gave his wages
to the local Red Cross.
Rabbi Wise in his leave-taking
speech said that aside from his desire
to help the government In turning out
ships he had been actuated by three
motives In working In the shipyards;
first, because he and his wife had been
urging their son to take such a place
and he wanted to set him good ex'
ample; second; he wanted to know the
workingman. and third he hoped that
his example would be followed by 9TH

Is a ready market for income-produe-
ing property, and in sections where
ground values are high the multiple
dwelling provides a much more lucra-
tive Investment than the detached
house.
Floor Plan Important.
In order to make the small apart
ment building a distinct success, the
most important thing to consider Is the
floor plan Of the apartments. An
elaborate elevation is entirely unneces-
sary and only adds to the cost of the
building, but when It comes to the
floor plan no Idea should be overlooked
which win economlze space or save
housework. 1t costs no more to build
from a good plan than It does from q
poor one. In fact. poor layouts are
often more expensive.
In building for industrial purposes
1t is absolutely necessary to keep the
building costs down as low as possible.
whether the apartments are to be rent
ed or sold outright. The average work.
man is a man with a family Of from
three to FIVE, consequently maximum
sleeping accommodations must be pro.
vided without materially increasing tho
cost Of the building. In carrying out
the modern ideas Of efficiency, all UNI
necessary rooms must be dispensed
with entirely.
The accompanying floor plans are for
buildings for four or six families each
depending on whether two or three
stories high. and the striking feature
Of each building Is the vast saving Of
space effected by eliminating bed
rooms.
Plan No. ! Is for building only 81
feet wide and Al feet long. and can be-
built on a lot only 40 feet wide, yet
there are two apartments on each floor
each apartment having sleeping accom-
modations for four people. These are
really the Old-style five-room apart-
ments "bolled down." so to speak, to
the modern efficiency" apartments Of
three rooms. The two bedrooms Of
the flve-room apartment are completes
ly eliminated by concealed beds, which
convert the living and dining rooms
into sleeping rooms at night. During
the day we have the same living room.
dining room and kitchen as the old,
style five-room apartment. At night we
have a kitchen and two large, airy
sleeping rooms. Each room has a pri-
yate access to the bathroom. This
plan is used successfully In many sec.
lions of the country and is much more
efficient than the old plan of eliminat.
ing the dining room, compelling tha
housewife to serve meals In the kitchen.
Sometimes It Is advisable to have at
least one regular bedroom. In such
instances plan such as No. 2 is used.
This plan Is for a building "a feet by

six-room apartment with two bedrooms
eliminated. reducing 1t to four rooms.
In addition to the living room. dining

after careful survey Of the situation
the large Industrial institutions
throughout the country are rapidly
awakening to the fact that the null
tiple dwelling or apartment building
possesses many advantages over the
single house.
In the multiple dwelling q number
Of families are housed under one roof.
The number Of apartments In each
building varies to meet conditions.
Some communities find the four-famIly
house more successful, some the six
family and others find the larger build
ings, housing from eight to twenty-four
families, best suited to their needs.
At this time we will discuss the small
er buildings containing four to six
apartments each. The advantages Of
this type Of building are worthy Of
much consideration.
Construction Costs Reduced.
First Of all. construction costs are
greatly reduced by housing a number
of families under one roof. On &C
count Of the party walls. less material
Il required and big saving Ia also af-
fected in plumbing. roofing. painting
and excavating.
Next comes the saving Of ground. BY
building multiple dwellings more fami-
lies can be accommodated on a given
ground space, thereby overcoming any
lack Of transportation, as more con-
centration Is made possible and II Is
not necessary to spread the industrial
cities over so much territory.
From a purely investment point Of
view, the multiple dwelling Is very at
tractive. The apartments are in great
demand by people who do not wish to
assume the responsibility Of owning
their own home and the rent derived
provides a very good income on the
money invested BY the builder.
1t Is customary at the present time
to encourage the workmen to purchase
their homes on the deferred payment
plan. making the payments out Of their
savings. This phn encourages thrift
and Is undoubtedly very good one,
but the same scheme has been car
RED out with the multiple dwelling
with far greater success because IL
enables the thrifty Workman to become
landlord.

REFUSED TO Be DEFEATED

Maj. Gen. Robert Lee Billiard,
now commanding the Second corps, Is
believed to be the American officer
who refused to accept even temporary
defeat when the Germans crossed the
Marne July 10. he launched coun-
ter-attack contrary to the advice Of the
French commanding general and
smashed the kaiser's forces in the
bend Of the river east Of Chateau
Thierry, so upsetting their plan to
seize the plateau south Of the Marne.
General Billiard was born In
Youngsboro. Ala. January Is 1851.
and was graduated from West Point
In 1885. In the Spanish-American war
he was major of an independent bat

possible. When the last draft law
was put into operation there was
more or less opposition and in many
communities efforts were made to
evade the law, not so much by the
men who were subject to the draft as
by those who were really opposed to
carrying on the war and who shared
the idea, which was once fostered to
a large extent by certain people In
this country. that the government had
no right to draft men to fight on for
eign soil. All that has been settled
so far as legal questions are involved.
and there Is no reason why everybody
should not periodically endeavor 20
help the government to carry out the
new draft law with energy and effec-
tiveness.
