thirty prominent women of Wash

Nations Association" with head
quarters at 729 Fourteenth street

Next week a corps of speakers
under the direction OF Clara Sears
Taylor. chairman of the speakers
committee, will address citizens
fsom public squares in various sec
tions Of the city, taking one article
Of the league each night for a text.
The audience will be invited to
ask questions concerning the league
and the speakers will answer TO the
best of their ability. AS the or
Eanization is nonpartisan, all ques-
tions about politics or any other
subject except the league OF ma
tions will be barred.
The sole object of the association,
it is asserted, is to overcome the
misunderstanding which now eX-

in regard to the covenant and the
articles of the league and to pre-

In the Limelight
By George Perry Morris

Minneapolis, Oct. 1.-One Of the
most interesting and significant Of
the younger men Of Minneapolis is
Maurice !. Flagg. He has just car
ried through with brilliant success
fine arts exhibit and competition
at the State Fair. where cash prizes
amounting to $3.50 were awarded to
Minnesota seulptors, painters, pho
tographers and art students. Mr.
FJagg formerly was head of the
state Fine Arts Commission. Now
he Is serving as sales manager, pub
licity director and editor of The
Bulletin of the Architects Small
House Service Bureau Of Minnesota.
There is no more admirable or
suggestive solution of the housing
problem of the nation now before
the public than this Minnesota pro-
ject presents: and IT is attracting so
much attention nationally and get
ting such hearty cooperative sup
port from the producers of building
materials that it will not be at all
surprising IL Washington becomes
the administrative center for ma
tional operations.
Mr.. Flaggs present corps OF CO.
operators in the Architects Small
House Service Bureau. includes we'll
known professional designers of Of
fees in st. Paul, Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Grand Forks. n. ID. They
have worked together to provide all
builders of small homes with plans
designed especially to insure true
economy and safe and sound invest
ment. For a small sum prospective
fications and working drawings OF
six Cor less) room houses. The
architects who share in this service
are first grade. The president OF
the bureau is the professor Of ar.
chitecture in the University OF
Minnesota, Prof. Frederick NJ. Mann
The general plan under which the
bureau operates has been approved
and adopted by the American In.
stltute Of Architects. and is to bt
made operative in all the States a,
far as possible.
The East has much to learn from
this region in popUlarizing ideals
OF art. To use a State Fair as Mime.
sofa uses hers shows a social vision
that puts great agency in line for
aesthetics as well as for economics
The Minneapolis Art Museum works
admirably with the schools ana tnc
library Of the Qity. The State Uni.
Nersity, though not as well equipped
for teaching aesthetics as IL is for
teaching Engineering. is reachinE
out in cultural activities. Last. but
not least. the States best archi.
tects have shown a way in which
the national profession may serve
democracy.

DECLARES EXPLOSIVES
MENACE ELLIS ISLAND

Thousands of immigrants at Ellis
Island are in constant danger of
death from vast quantities of ex-
plosives now being handled at near
by wharves, according to a state
ment yesterday by Louis F. Post,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.
AN explosion which would cost
many more lives than the explosion
in Wall street is, possible at any
time" Post declared
The menace presents a double
aspect; first, from the vessels loaded
with explosives in the harbor, and
second. from shipments of explosives
at nearby docks.
The attention of Congress has
been called to this condition by the
Secretary of Labor" said Mr.. Post,
but it has failed to act"

front door stating that the apart

Lanham and abandoned by Mrs.

On September 4, Maj. Graham de-
cIarcs, during his absence Lanham
entered the apartment unIawfully
accompanied by several unknown
persons. Afterward, Graham states.
he inquired the reason for the note
under the door and was told, nc

would enter the apartment on Oc-

He now alleges the defendants are
attempting to sell the apartment
and unlawfully eject him.
BENEFITS of Lease Not Apparent.
His election and the forced move

prevented by the injunction.
While several other tenants state
they have received notices that they
will be moved. nothing definite has
been heard by theim as to the fur
