MUST PREPARE
 HOUSING FOR UNDERWOOD HELP

With the announcement made yes- terday that the Underwood plant would employ about 2,000 persons after it had got under way in this city and people on the streets and other places giving 1t a lot of talk last night the chief concern expressed was whether housing conditions of the city would be adequate to pro- vide homes for workers that come here from out of town. It is expect ed that the majority of the working force that will be installed in the new concern will be local people but a certain amount will be brought here from Hartford to get things in run ming order.
 After conference with Stanley H. Bullard late yesterday Afternoon it was announced by the Underwood of ficials that partial operation at the plant would begin the first of next month. By that time it is expected that alterations to the building will have been completed and the Bu1lard office force which is still in the build ing will have moved to the new Bull lard plant in Fairfield
 A number of former employees of the Yost Typewriter Works which re- ing, Long Island, greeted the an- nouncement that the Underwood Company would come here with joy as they see a chance to return to work at the various lines of trade connected with the manufacture of typewriters. When the Yost plant moved to Long Island after the Graphophone Company had bought the property of that factory on Rail road avenue quite few of the Yost employees moved to Flushing with the Yost concern but later returned when they became dissatisfied with condi- tions as they existed in the Long Island factory, according to a mum Der of them seen last night by a Times representative

In fact, it marks the upward trend in modern burlesque, an achievement which has been the aim of MT. Howe since the advent into this particular field of endeavor. Besides supplying a cast second to none MT. Howe brings forward a trio of funmakers, comedians and 1augh-getters seldom mustered in one particular aggrega ton.

preservers of Law and Order In Cana

"Back on the Job"

The Royal Northwest mounted
police, resolute preservers of law
and order in Canada's western prov
inces, are back on the job. During
the war the organization practically
went out of business. They made
splendid soldiers, and very many of
them we're killed in action. A large
number won decorations, and a still
larger number lived to return to the
reorganized force. Hundreds of
other returned men also have donned
the red coats and blue breechees of
the mounted police since the armis-
tice When the sRoyal Northwests"
was organized in 1878, it consisted
Of 300 men who soon established
reputation for getting lawbreakers,

them. The title 'Royal" was con-
ferred on the force in 1903 at the
suggestion of Lord Mimic, the gov
ernor general at that time, in recog-
milton of its excellent work. Only
unmarried men, twenty-five to thirty
years old, of fine physique ard good
character, are eligible. The force
has expanded to about 5000 men.

ol,vE CULTURE IN AMERICA
,,,.r,Ia Easily the Greatest Pro
ca'' ,,.;,o stste-Mission Variety
the Most in Demand.

The ancient scrap between Min
AVA who gave the olive, and Apollo
s s.ho bestowed the horse upon man
t | was decided, as will be remem-
s lsna in favor of the lady-the dis
m vuts being as to which Of the two
p;fs was the more valuable.
TO understand the reason for this
decision, one ought to live in the
Mediterranean region, where the
alive is vital factor in the lives Of
tbe people. They could much more
sasiiy spare the equine quadruped.
Olive culture has already assumed
great Importance in our own coun-
fry. In 1916 (the latest year for
which figures are available) there
we're in California 834,938 olive
trees in bearing, and 515,221 not
vet old enough to yield fruit. The
states production in that year was
Ooo,OOO,0OO gallons Of olive oil and
100000 gallons Of picked olives.
The olive tree was introduced in
California by Spanish priests, the
first grove being planted in San
Diego in 1869. From those trees is
descended what is today the most
popular variety, the so-called Mis-
sion olive.

Periodic Bilious ATTACKS.

Persons subject to bilious at
tacks at regular intervals know
about when to expect an attack.
They find that they have no de-
sire for food when an attack is
due but usually eat because it is
meal time. Skip one meal and
take three Of Chamberlain s Tab
lets and you may be able to avoid
the attack. Persons subject to
periodic bilious attacks should
not drink coffee or tea at any
time.
