terday afternoon. Among his Sc
lections were group of his own
compositions, headed by the noted
sharp minor prelude" which identi-

Equally interesting, but not SO we'll
known, were the 'Humoresque, "Ro-
NANCE" The Lilac" and Polka de
W. r." They were all as different
as the names would indicate and dis
played the versatility of the com
poser. The theme of the Polka de
w. r. was a fascinating melody
which won a burst of applause from
the audience,

Rachmaninoff is an excellent in

the left maintains the waltz time.
The last and heaviest number was

Rachmaninoff's splendid physique

power and enable him to play the

ease. This ability. coupled with good

DENIES STUDENTS TEACH
AS REGULAR SUBSTITUTES
Supt. Thurston Says Advanced
Eighth-Grade Pupils Have Taught
Lower Grades for Few Hours.

Allegations that pupils OF the high
er school grades whose ages are
stated to be not moro than thirteen
or fourteen years, are teaching as
regular substitutes in tho public
schools OF the District were declared
untrue today by Ernest l. Thurston'
superintendent Of schools.
In some cases it has been found
advisable to place an advanced eighth
grade student in charge of primary
class or a first grade glass for a few
hours during temporary absence of
the regular teacher, the superin-
tendent said, but that in no case, as
| far as he knows has such substitu-
ton lasted for any considerable Pc
| riod of time.
/ "The present emergency caused by
| the resignation of SO many teachers
| from the schools has forced school Of
| Ificers to take steps to remedy condi-
! tions which normally never would
lhave appeared" said Mr.. Thurston to-
Iday, LAS to the general use of eighth

Saws the Packers Dominate.

'Tt is perfectly obvious" he told
the convention, that the packers ap-
solutely dominate the meat industry
of the country.
With all the interests involved and
under the circumstances which sur
round the business it would be DIM
cult for them to do otherwise than 70
work in unison, and it is scarcely
necessary, it seems to me, to attempt
to prove that the packers agents meet
daily or weekly or monthly to deter
mine prices. 1t is only necessary to
point out that their common inter
est would naturally tend to make
them act in common way. II, as
they claim, all abuses have been dis
continued they ought to JOIN hands
with us now in securing legislation
that will prevent the resumption OF
the unfair practices.

HOUSES NEEDED
IN ALL STATES
Shortage of Dwellings Is
General Throughout
Country.

A growing shortage of dwellings
is indicated by reports from all sec
tions of the country. Considerable
construction work was begun in
many parts of the country during
the present summer, but as the
greater number of these are not
yet completed the demand for hous-
ing accommodations remains un-
satisfied.
Typical of conditions everywhere
are the following: Portland, Ne,
reports a shortage in dwelling and
tenement houses; Haverhill, Lfw-
renee and Salem. Mass. report a
demand for dwellings and tene-
ments; Albany needs flats; Manhat-
tan needs office, dwelling and stor-
age buildings; Rochester needs
dwellings and mercantile buildings
Atlantic City. East Orange and
Elizabeth, N. J.. are short in dwell
ings and apartments, ard almost
all the towns in Pennsylvania re-
port a deficiency OF residences.
Shortage General
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois show a
shortage in dwellings, with an oc-
casional report on demands for
schools and factories. The major
percentage OF shortage in Colorado,
Utah, Washington and California is
in dwellings. In the South and
Southwest there is a demand for
business buildings, this being espe-
cially noticeable in Texas and Lou
isiana-
Scranton and wilkesbarre. Pa.
Newark, Ohio; Wheeling. W. Va,
and Bloomington and Danville, nj,
report no demand for buildings, in
dicating present facilities are ade-
quate to current needs.
Tacoma. Wash. was the only
city reporting no delay on account
of wages, material prices, interest
rates and available capital. Ia
ccma's obstacle was inclement
weather, and subsequent reports
from the State OF Washington in
dicate preparations for unusual
building activity for the spring
season.
High Wages a Faetor.
A majority of the cities assert
that high wages are a factor in
holding back building There Is
almost unanimous concurrence in
the opinion that high prices of ma
terials are determined obstacles.
! There is not much complaint about
interest rates. but fourteen cities
report builders are having diff
Guilty in obtaining capital to an
ance projects.
This latter obstacle appears not to
be a sectional matter. but rather one
growing out of local conditions in
widely separate territory. Cambridge,
Mass; New Haven, Albany, Philadel-
phia, Terre Haute, Wheeling and Au-
rora. Ill. are among the cities re-
porting difficulty in borrowing capital
for building work.
Wherever building industry organi-
Zations have gone into the subject.
the conclusion has prevailed that no
decrease in labor wages may be ex-
peCted for some time to come-not un-
til the general price level on living
necessities drops. Economists of the
Department of Labor, headed by Prof
Irving Fisher. OF Yale University, sup
port this contention.
