Own a Home,

The Chicago real estate board has
decided to launch an effort to enc0ur-
age home ownership throughout the
city, that Chicago may regain Its title
of '"rhe City of Homes"
The department of labor at WASH
ington is engaged In national CAM
raign to encourage the construction Of
homes for the purpose of avoiding any
disarrangement Of our business fabric,
because of the dlscOntlnuance of war
work, and to provide employment for
our boys returning from the army.
The idea has been tried with astound-
ing success In many cities. The ad-
vantage to the city as whole, from
the standpoint Of better citizenship
alone, is so great as to more than Jus
t;fy all the efforts that may be ex-
pended.

POSTAL SERVICE WILL COLLAPSE SAY EMPL0YES
Representatives of Men Tell Committee Burleson Has
 Injured Efficiency.

Washington, Aug. 26-Collapse of the postoff1ce system of the country as the result of Postmaster General 1 Burleson's policy was pr adicted before the House Committee on Expenditures in the Postoffice Department today in hearing on a bill introduced by Rep- resantative Zihlman, Of Maryland, providing pay increases for postal em- ployes. IneffiCiency and brutality in the administration of the mail ser vice also were charged. Among the principal points made by | spokesmen of various organizations of l postal employees were l. That it is MT. Burleson's policy to decrease the number of postal em- ployes and to resist wage increases in | spite of the steadily increasing volume of mail handled.
 Trained EmpIoyes Lost. 2. That the efficiency of the service
 has been greatly lowered by the resig-
 nation or forcing from the service of
 thousands of trained employees be-
 cause of insufficient wages or intoler- | ance of MT. Burleson toward union | ization.
 3. That labor officials have been dis
 missed for trying to obtain more
 
 | by direct appeal to Congress. 4. That while the volume of mail handled has increased 6S per cent since MT. Burleson became Postmaster General. the number of employees has been reduced II per cent. 5. That mall has been falsely post
 marked to cover up delays in distribu- ton.
 Among the witnesses who testified today were E. J. Ryan, president of l the Association of Railway Mail | Clerks; Gilbert F. Hyde. president
 and Thomas F. Flaherty. secretary treasurer of the National Federation | of Postoff1ce Employees. Postmaster General Burleson's idea of granting relief to the employees
 when the mail service was so heavy 1 last winter was to send down his | Chinese cook and coachman to work in the Washington postoffice," said MT l F'laherty.
 ''In six years" MT. F1aherty told the committee, mot a single constructive
 recomm endation for betterment of the postal employees has been made Their
 wages have been reduced and laws for
 their protection nu1lifed, so that the
 department can no longer get men to
 work"

 BACON SALE IN SOUTH NORWALK

With no official photographer pres ent to snap him as he opened the government sale of food. Mayor Jere- miah Donovan, of NOrwalk, yesterday afternoon declared war on the high cost of living and turned loose to the citizens of his town 15,OOO pounds of bacon which sold for 32 cents q pound.
 Despite statements in other cities and particularly in Bridgeport, where Mayor Wilson refused to handle ba- con. the government variety furnished in NorwaIk has been found very sat isfactory and the demand for it was such that a large corps of workers was kept busy quite late last night meeting the wants of the continuous stream of people f1ocking to the city hall.
 The sale was decidedly well man. aged and lacking the features that marked a food sale in Bridgeport in which firemen and policemen excluded the public, it met with hearty ap- proval of all who made purchases.

 ARE IN FAVOR OF LEAGUE PACT
Vote Taken By Economic League Shows Nearly All
 States in Line.

A vote has just been taken by the National Economic League purportinE to show that three out of four of the thinking men of this country are in favor of the ratification of the Peace Treaty and League of Nations Coven- ant.
 The Leagues resolution is worded as follows: Resolved, that the United States should ratify the Treaty with
 Germany, including the League ot Nations Covenant, without complicat- ing, delaying, or invalidating reserva- tions." A footnote explains that this
 is not to be construed as excluding
 such interpretations of the Treaty and
 Covenant as may be thought neces-
 sary to clarify the American position,
 provided no danger is thereby created
 of delay or of furnishing gronnd for
 Germany, or other signatory to de-
 clare that the ratification by the
 United States is not complete and
 binding. Out of a total of 6S5 votes, 51a
 members are recorded as favoring and 166 as opposing this resolution. In addition to this the National l Economic League has taken pains to | compile the votes from each State and also to print the name and record | the vote of each member. It is shown that from New York State, for eX- ample, so votes were received, 61 of which were for and 19 against the | resolutions: California voted 16 in fla
 vor as against 3 opposed; Illinois | shows 32 favoring and : opposing; | Massa chusetts 37 for and II against; Alabama. Arkansas, Mississippi.
