Roumanian Peasants More Contented
Since Reform Act Went Into Effect.

Jassy, Rumania, Oct. 6.-Rumania'i

acres of state, institutional and pri
vate lands to the peasants, has beer

about a degree of content and salts,

Rumania's history the peasants have
been given outright ownership of land
King Ferdinand was the first to give
up a part of his large land holdings To
the people
The appropriation of large private
estates by the government did not
please the proprietor of classes, but it
has had a steadying influence upon
the temper and spirit OF the people,
who now have little sympathy for
bolshevist doctrines Nearly SIS per
cent OF the people of Rumania are sup
ported by agriculture and under their
ownership the land, during the last
year, has yielded larger and better
crops than ever before.
Fiye-sixths of the population of Ru.
manian consists of the peasantry, who
combine thrift with industry. In fact,
the peasant class constitutes the real

try is bound up in it, A large percent

highly stratifed societies where people

The bulk of the Rumanian nation
still lives in dirt foored huts made of
woven branches and plastered with
mud. These novels usually are window
less and sleeveless. The people sleep
upon the floor or upon benches with
their day clothes on, often six TO 10
of them in one miserable low-eeiled
room, 10 feet square. In many cases
the poultry, pigs and cattle occupy the
same room.
While Rumanian cities have made
decided progress during the last 25

AUTO INSURANCE
RATES DECREASED
Big Companies Remove Theft

Losses
POLICE WORK IS PRAISED

blg insurance companies. by agree
ment. nave removed the theft penalty
rates for automobile protection in philn
delphia. The action is retroactive 70
April Ii and will amount to rcduc
ton in premiums averaging SIS n ear.
Inc move IS a consequence of in
creased efficiency Of the police depart
ment IN the last three months in an
prehending motor thieves and the cf
iectlVeneSS of the no wstatc motor laws.
ienalty charges for Philadelphia have
been IN effect since 1918. when insur.
hnrc companies added the theft pcn
atty to premiums on ears in the dis.
frict because of the great number of
automobile thefts. Philadelphia motor
lists were paying an average of 81 more
on 500 than New York owners or
others in eastern cities.
Superintendent Mills. Of the police
department, said today that reduction
IN the motor theftS Is due to n sppcpl
drive his department has been making
against motor thieves.
"Ihe thcfts have been falling of con
stantly.' he said. "Thcy are fewer
each week. We cannot divulgc the
method by which we are accomplish
ing this reduction. because il would ONLY
tlp of those who have been stealing
cars. We will continue our campaign
until the motor thefts in Philadelphia
is at The lowest figure possible"
THE insurance companies are acting
largely, on faith in the new administra-
ton and the new motor laws" an auto
mobile department manager Of one Of
the big companies said today. The
burden of responsibility for the deter
mination Of future rates in Philadplphia
tests with the automobile owners them
selves. the police and the courts
I'VE are willing to admit that auto
mobile thrfts have fallen OF in this
city during the first three months of
the year. But. it remains to he seen
whether this was due entirely to po-
lice protection or poor weather con
