.SEEFREIGHT RELIEF
FOR D. c. IN USE Of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Possibilities of relief for Washing
tor and many other cities and centers
in the matter OF transportation OF
coal and heavy freight OF various
kinds are presented in river and in
land waterway transportation. in the
opinion Of many members OF Con-
gress. who are bestirring themselves
to have that transportation developed.
The coal famine of last winter and
this spring and the congestion in
freight which is hampering many
kinds OF business are reasons for
turning increased attention to the
waterways.
Strong efforts are being made by
Senators and House members to have
Secretary McAdOO, as Director ~
Railroads and head Of the transportA-
tion system. to take prompt steps to
establish on the rivers and inland
waterways Of the country an ade-
,quste system of barges and other
craft.
in part this would involve the res
toration to some OF the waterways of
the equivalent Of the craft taken over
by the Navy Department for use of
the Government at the outset OF the
Nar.
In part. it would involve the expansion
Of the facilities for inland waterway
transportation. To some extent trans
portatiOn along the coasts would be in
volved.

Announcement has been made in
London that Lady Randolph Churchill
is to be married shortly to Montague
Porch, an official of the government
Of Nigeria.
Lady Randolph Churchill, formerly
Miss Jennie Jerome. daughter Of the
late Leonard Jerome, OF New York. is
probably better known to the Ameri-
can public than any other Of the
many American women who have
married into the British aristocrRcy.
She is a politician, musician. an edi-
tor, a writer. an artist, and a notable
amateur actress, and has figured in the
careers OF both her husband and her
son, Winston Spencer Churchill. min
lister OF munitions
In 1874 she married Lord Randolph
Churchill, second son OF the seventh
Duke OF Marlborough, and the uncle
OF the duke who married Miss Con-
suelO' Vanderbilt, having met him in
France while on a trip around the
world on her fathers yacht. She was
one OF the first modern American
women to marry an English noble
man. Following her marriage, Lady
Churchill became much interested in
politics. and her husband was soon
one Of the most successful politicians
Of his dav. He continued to be a
leader in the House OF Commons until
shortly before his death. in 1926.
Five years after the death Of Lord
Churchill. his widow caused a sensa-
tiOn in London society by announcing
her engagement to Lieut. George
COrnwallis-West. son Of her former
dearest friend and a close friend Of
her son, Winston Churchill. In spite
OF the great difference in ages the
marriage was a happy one for severa!
years. but in 1914 Mrs. CORVALLIS

INDUSTRIAL HOUSING

The government is wise in making
provisions TO- house the vast number
Of laborers 1t will require in speeding
up its ship building program. Tho
problem OF properly housing employees
has reached such an acute stage that
it is one Of the biggest questions Of
the day. But il is not a new one: the
situation has simply grown more
tense. Last year, in one great fac
tory in the east. thirty thousand men
were employed TO keep up a payroll
Of ten thousand, The men would not
stay because Of poor living conditions.
This tremendous waste OF efficiency
could have been avoided through the
medium Of proper industrial housing
This instance IS characteristic OF con-
ditions in America today. Production
is greatly handicapped. not By a lack
NJ labor. as commonly supposed. but
BY an utter lack of decent accommOda-
tions and the. reluctant inability 10
hold labor
Houses for industrial worker. must
be provided at once. and In the fact
that this problem Is SO urgent there is
a real danger--the danger OF doing the
thing hurriedlv. planning for temper
airy relief only, creating conditions
that will be worse in few years than
they are at present. The large indus
trial organizations confronted with
a housing problem will wisely provide
Tor the future With the splendid ex-
amples Of garden city development in
England: as a guide. and the avoidance
of the parernalism and other errors
which characterized certain previous
housing enterprises in this country.
there is no reason why we should not
proceed on the frmess and most ad-
vanced basis.
Each industrial development pre-
sents an individual problem. 1t Is not
simply q matter of designing two or
three typical houses and setting them
down on a certain plot Of ground. The
factors involved call for not only a
thorough knowledge Of housing de-
Ye,opments the world over, but they
necessitate an Intimate study OF the
conditions affecting the industry which
contemplates plan for providing
homes for It's workers.
