ONE WAY OF HOUSING.

The city Of Bradford. England, has be-
come tired Of waiting for the housing sit
uation to adjust itself. II doesn It any long
er fancy seeing families without homes
and people crowded into lnsanitary quar-
tiers, while il waits for grandioSe schemes,
or the 'law Of supply and demand some
how or other to come t. the rescue.
So it decided on the rather novel IN
these days. plan Of actually building
housesl
The city plans at once building 260
dwellings. These are not to be built by
contract, but directly by the city itself,
under the direction of the city Surveyor.
The bricks will be furnished by the muni-
cipal brickyard which has been remodeled
and the machines Of which ore now all
electrically run. TO hasten the work large
wooden workshops have already been
erected in which fittings are TO be made anc
in which, also, in bad weat her the rein
forced concrete window sills doOrsteps
etc, will be manufactured

PRESS COMMENTS
FOR HARDING TO THINK OF.

The main purpose Of this association of
nations is TO promote international Co
operation and achieve international ponce
and sacurityn This IL strives for in two
ways When war actually threatens the
emergency ia dealt with by the upper
house, which seeks way for a settlernent
of the crisis through Investigation and ar
bitration.
TO remove the permanent causes OF war
the association Of nations seeks 10 establish
closer contact and corporation among
the nations for certain common purposes.
The association Of nations has already
taken up the following tasks among
others: Formulation of plan Of universal
disarmament, organization OF court of
international justice, already completed;
study of international finance, with which u
special conference dealt ut brussels last
September; organization OF an lnternatloh-
al health office, n bureau to fight exploita-
tion of opium and other drugs and q
bureau TO suppress tho International
white slave traffic; an international lahor
Office for dealing with tho welfare of the
workers; the registration and publication
of all treaties between nations; and super
vision over the administration of back
ward races living under colonial rule.
Among tho countries which are not Yet
members of this ASSOCIATION are the United
States, the former Central Powers and
Russia. Perhaps the leading question 10 be
decided at the meeting Of the associhtion
which begins next Monday Is the admis-
zion to membership of Germany and her
late allies. 1t is understood that Austria,
Bulgaria and hungary will probably be
! admitted. The admission Of Germany Is
| opposed by France and several OF her
minor allies Nevertheless II is under
stood that there is good chance OF WIN

s792. .l65 or about 80 per cent, with net
profits Of sl85,39 or about seven per
cent The interesting feature Of tins ex-
hibit, that will attract the consumer, is that
if 80 per cent or more profit is taken by the
manufacturer Of clothing and 30 more by
the retailer, he will readily compute that
