$3.50, 1000, 900 Irish housing scheme is not
to be allowed to drop. for active steps
are being taken to bring 1t under the
notice of public bodies in Ireland. ]. H.
Rice. secretary of the newly formed
National Development Company Of
Ireland. the head offices Of which are
in the Commercial Building, Dublin. has
addressed letter TO every council in
Ireland drawing attention to the scheme.
He says the company has entered
into contract with a powerful trust
composed of Irish. American and Scot
fish trustees and has succeeded in ar
ranging for an advance of $3.50, 000. 900
for housing In Ireland. This will be
advanced to the municipal, county,
urban and district councils which may
require its use and will be repayable at
per cent. in fifty years. when the
debt will be extinguished automatically.
Mr.. Rice adds that the money is now
available and will be forthcoming when
1t Is required by the councils. In an
interview Mr.. Rice said the magnitude
of the sum might cause doubts in the
minds Of some people. but the fact re-
manned that they actually could put
their hands on the $3.50, 900, 900. II will

Mr.. vought, averaged about 1,750 revo-

first man to return TO Roosevelt Field,
averaged 1880. A number OF these en-
gines in the DH-4s had been run for
from 100 to 40 hours without overhaul
ing, having been in planes which were
touring the country with Col Claggett's

which are never required OF an automo-

that an airplane engine is run without

THE race was of great value in
arousing interest in aviation in the
cities along the route. They have been
awakened to the necessity of having
large, well equipped. well lighted land

strated the reliability OF the airplane

and the percentage of safety certainly
may be counted on as much higher in

CABARETS IN BERLIN
OPEN NIGHT THROUGH
They Defy Order to Close to
Conserve Coal.
By ne Associated Press.

BERLIN, Aug. 30 (delayed) The res
taurant and cafe proprietors of Berlin
appealed to-day to the police authorities
for permission to keep open after the
present closing hour, IL 40 y. NJ. They
met with refusal ana with the state
ment that. on the other hand they were
likely to be still further restricted as to
business hours because of the shortage
OF coal.
The proprietors thereupon filed a pro-
test, asserting that scores of cabarets
and dance halls were ablaze all night in
defiance OF police orders. automobile par
ties being openly invited to enter by
electric signs which burned until morn
ing.
One explanation advanced for this
state of Affairs Is that attempts to force
the cabarets to obey the lighting law
and conform with the closing restrictions
have met with obstructive tactics from
the powerful walters organization, which
threatened to bring about a strike IL the
walters were denied the privilege of
serving drinking parties all night. II is
estimated that there are 100 night re-
sorts in the West End alone that keep
open until morning
With regard to coal conservation, the
LokdI Anset0er prints a letter suggest
ing that coal can be saved by eliminate
ing the two hour period in the middle
of the day during which the stores are
closed and have them shut up shop at
s p. NJ instead of p. NJ. The sugges-
ton seems of doubtful acceptance. how.

Coal experts conferred to-day with in
dustrial representatives and It was de-
cided that night shifts must be intro
duced in the mines IL sufficient coal is to
be produced. 1t was also determined
that 1t was necessary to increase the
electric lighting power Of Berlin for win

has put In storage a lot of canned goods
with the intention Of getting a specufa-
tive profit. We will ask the wholesalers
to promise that when this stuff comes
CIT they will sell It only at the fair
margins of profit which are to be fixed.
This will eliminate the hoarder's profit,
and then what use will there be for

Reports were submitted yesterday to
the Food Administrator indicating
general observance of the fair price
list" on groceries in stores situated
north of Central Park and running into
The Bronx, and also on the upper East
Side.
investigators who made the rounds
of butcher shops on Saturday night
found that the fair meat prices also
were being followed to q marked de-
gree.
They told me-" Mr.. Williams said,
speaking of the work Of his investiga-
tors. that a good many articles OF
groceries are being sold lower than the
fair prices. Many butchers are placing
signs in their windows calling attention
to the fact that certain of their cuts OF
meat now are below the fair list price
One butcher shop in East Fifty-ninth
street was advertising in this fashion
on Saturday night that he was selling
lamb chops at 2s cents a pound. The
official fair list price calls for Sc to 3S
cents. To my mind, this is perfectly
fine thing and indicates that the work Of
the campaign is bearing fruit"
Unless things go awry headquarters Of
the Fair Price Committee will be opened

There will be no sales Of army food
stuffs in the public schools to-day. The

CARRANZA DENIES

Mexican First Chief Says For
mer U. S. Agent Misrepre-
scented Himself.

DR.. Paul Bernardo Altendorfs de-
nunciations of Mexico, Mexicans and the
carranza Government has drawn fire
from the Mexican Ambassador in
Washington. For several weeks DR..
Altendorf, through the National Ascot
alton for the Protection Of American
Rights in Mexico. has branded Carranza
and all his military and political aids
as bandtti.
Altendorf, for fifteen months an opera
tive for the United States Army intel
ligepce service in Mexico, declared Car
ton a riot of chaos,
The Mexican Embassy retaliates with
the following statement:
"The American press published last
Sunday lengthy statement issued by
the National Association for the Pro-
lection OF American Rights in Mexico.
in which a DR.. Altendorf sets forth
numerous charges against the Mexican
Government, accusing It Of assisting
German conspirators.
"Dr. Altendorf states. among other
falsehoods, that President Carranza ap-
pointed him q Colonel in the Mexican
army that on several occasions he
served as intermediator between Presi-
dent Carransa and German Minister Won
Eckhardt: that he was sent to Sonora
IA command the proposed German-Mex-
lean expedition into the United states,
formed by $4,000 Carranzista' soldiers ;
and that this expedition was frustrated
owing to the termination Of the Euro
pean war
"rhe Mexican Embassy at Washing
ton is in receipt OF telegram from
President CarranZa denying categori-
calIv Altendo~f's statement. and adding
tbat Altendorf is unknown TO him"
In conclusion, the statement has II
that Carranza is of the opinion that
Altendorf's utterances suggest that the
latter is not wholly responsible for all

Of production unless a state of produce

'In modern industry the spirit Of CO.
operation has largely been lost; the
chasm between labor and control Is too
vast, the worker is too far from the
forces which rule his production. Men
cannot increase their productivity In a
system which bestows the profits nom a
