FURNITURE PRICE
TO REMAIN HIGH

GRAND RArIDS, Mich, Oct. 16--
There can be no immediate reduction
in the price of furniture, and when
prices are cut the movement will be
so gradual as to be hardly noticeable
according 10 John l.. Young. Cleve-
lanr, Ohio, president OF the Retail
Furniture Tsalers association Of the
United State + who spoke at the final
conference C the executive commic
te OF that or IMITATION with the Ma
ton Council 4 Furniture Associa-
lions.
The repor that have been circul-
ated recently throughout the coun-
try that furniture is due for an i'm
mediate drop in price led the asso-
citation to instruct its president and
executive committee to come to
Grand Rapids to thoroughly investi-
gate the situation.
Following this investigation and a
conference with furniture manufac-
turers. President Young authorized
the statement that there have been
no changes affecting the cost Of fur
niture generally that would indicate
any material reduction could take
place In the immediate future with
out seriously affecting the wages and
steady employment Of the men en-
gagged in furniture manufacturing.
1T has been determined that there
have been no changes affecting the
cost of furniture generally that would
indicate that any material reduction

ture without affecting seriously the
wages and steady employment Of tho
men engaged in furniture manufac-
turing" the resolution adopted at
the meeting reads.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Mai. Besson Tells How D. C.
May Clear So Cents
a Ton.

A plan has been worked out by
Maj. F. S. Besson, assistant engineer
commissioner. under which the Dis
trict government could dispose of the
citys garbage at profit of So cents
per ton, as compared with loss of
6 cents Der ton with the present
equipment at Cherry Hill, Va.
The proposal would require the in
sta1iation OF $4,000 worth Of addi-
tional equipment at Cherry Hill. but
would, in Maj. Besson's opinion. be
more economical than the construc-
tioi Of an entirely new plant or a
change to the hog-feeding method of
garbage disposal
: According to survey made, the
lowest estimate for a new plant ade-
quate to meet Washington's needs
would be 100000.

DiliQeNce,

Our word, diligence, is from the La
tin, "dilgencia." 1t means the quality
of being diligent; interested and per-
severing application; devoted and
painstaking effort to accomplish what
is undertaken; assiduous industry J;
careful attention. Industry has the
wider sense of the two words, imply
ing an habitual devotion to labor for
some valuable end, as knowledge or
property. Diligence denotes earnest
application to some specific object or
pursuit which more or less directly
has a strong hold on ones interest or
feelings.

rat ranch was to be started near
the cat ranch, with 100000 rats.
And how were the rats themselves
to be fed? Very simple, on the

They have some 200 trucks in op-

These trucks. piloted by west
African natives pillow their way
over the jungle trails. maintaining
regular schedules over the routes
stretching several hundred miles in
land. The natives are attired pretty
much as they were born and drive
with the most cheerful abandon.
Many OF them are fuu-hedged
chaufeurs within three or four
weeks from the time they see their
first motor vehicle. That the trucks
can keep going at all under such
conditions is a tribute 10 their re-
liability.
