ARE TO RELIEVE
 HOUSE SHORTAGE

Rio De Janeiro, Sept. 7.-Both fed eral and muicipal governments are about to take action to relieve the shortage of houses here.
 In the Chamber of Deputies a bill has been introduced providing for special bond issue of $50,O0O,O0O for the construction of houses for work ing families. In the Municipal Coun- Gil a measure was presented provid ing that all workers houses built in the next two years be free from the usual municipal taxes.
 The federal bill proposes the con- struction, under the municipal admin istration, of 10000 houses in various districts of the capital wherever na- tional1y or municipally owned ground is available. It is intended that the houses shall be sold to heads of working families, payment being spread over a period of 20 years. In addition, the bill provides for the contraction of two huge apartment houses, for families and for bachel- ors, respectively, with common kitch- ems and other communal installations, the rent being placed at a very low figure.

ARE TO RAISE
 DIPLOMATS PAY

Mexico City, Sept. 7.-Because of the increased cost of living through out the world, the Mexican govern ment has decided to raise the salar- ies of its diplomatic representatives abroad 50 per cent. This increase will affect both legation and> consul lar employees.
 Hereafter diplomatic appointme will be signed by officials of the for eign office instead of by the presi- dent, heretofore. Jew appointees will be required to proceed to their respective posts within 30 days in stead of so days. This latter ref orm has been introduced, it is said because in the past many diplomats have shown a tendency to finger at home while they were drawing full pay.

SCIENCE STAFF
IN. ODD STRIKE
Boston Publication En-
ployes Literally Support
ed as Subscriptions Fall.

Boston. April 2e.--In some re-
spects the strike on the Christian
Science publications in this city is
one Of the most unique in history.
II Is not a strike for better wages
or shorter hours. 1t might be termed
a sympathetic strike. as the strikers
have struck to show their loyalty to
the church directors whose position
has not. so far. been sustained by
the courts
In ali, some .1s persons have
struck, including clerks, stenog-
raphers, editors, reporters, type
settlers, etc. and OF these about 100
have found satisfactory employ
ment.
But the others are not worrying
particularly, and that Is another
feature Of the strike that Is Jpecu-
liar. Every one of them Is being
cared for and getting at least two
thirds as much wages as they re-
ceived while at work A very large
sum has been voluntarily subscribed
for these strikers. and II being
added to every day. the subscrip-
tions coming from all over the
world to the employment committee
which was organized to care for the
strikers. rvs.
The trouble in the Christian
Science body has already resulted in
the loss OF thousands of subscribers
to the various publications. In fact,
Ii has taken a large clerical force
more than a month to record the
subscription cancellations, which
are also being received from all
over the world

probably the most pathetic and
tragic procession ever seen in the

For nearly three weeks sightless

en- route to hold meetings in vari-
Gus parts OF the country. They
have succeeded in stirring up wide

The object of their pilgrimage is
to call attention to the failure Of
the government to provide proper
legislation dealing adequately with
the problem of the blind. Some Of
the marchcrs were so exhausted
that they had to be helped along
the last stages OF the journey.
