JOHN PRICE JACKSON
On Overcoming High Rents

THE only way to head off the tendency for
L a greater rise of rents and to start them
on the downward course is to actually start
building. according to John Price Jackson,
vice chairman of the Industrial Relations
Committee Of the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Jackson was formerly Commissioner of
Labor and Industry in Pennsylvania and
during the war served the Government
abroad, making special studies Of people and
conditions.
There is n reasonably uniform consensus
of opinion that the dominant influence upon
rents is the law of supply and demand, the
actual intrinsic cost Of building construc-
ton, high taxes and the like being con-
tributng factors,'' Mr.. Jackson said.
1T is quite certain, therefore, that rents
will not return to their pre-war relation
ship3 with other costs Of living until tho
pre-war ratio of buildings and people has
been reached by the construction OF new
buildings,

gram would have been of material help.
Not only has this activity failed to ma
terialize, but on May the instability of the
building situation was magnifed by a long
drawn out disagreement between builders
and their labor, which took the form of
union labor in the building trades going on
strike SO long as this strike remains in
progress the construction Of buildings will be
held up. This situation will dominate SO
long as it continues, irrespective Of the
other elements entering into the construction
business.
Strike Adds to Difficulty
"If the strike is not ended very shortly,
the result will be the killing of any con-
siderable amount Of construction for the en-
tire season, resulting in lack of work for
labor in the building trades and lack Of
business for contractors and builders.
"If, on the other hand, the strike is ended
within the next couple of weeks. and ut the
same time bankers, contractors and ma
terials men will join in the absolutely eS-
sential CO. ordinate move to revive tho build
ing industry upon reasonably debated basis
along all lines, experienced builders say that
part of the seasons program can be saved
and n material amount Of construction will
have been completed before the winter.
Recent construction bids and a tendency
for more money to become available for
real estate purposes-largely by reason OF
the safety Of the investments and the nd-
vantage gained by promoting local activity

book in which were listed names and
addresses OF more than 100 prominent
Chicagoans.
At about the same hour liquor
worth $685. and cigars and cigarettes
valued at $4,000 were confiscated by
detectives. who had discovered the
hiding place OF a gang Of freight car
robbers and raided II. Five men were

CREW Of ICE BOUND
SEAP[ANE RESCUED
Seven Men Had Been Gripped in
Pack at Report, N. J.
Since Monday.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Chilled by
gale and weak from hunger, seven
of the crew OF the flying boat Ponce
de Leon, which has been grippcd m
an ice pack at Keyport, N. j., since
Monday afternoon, were rescued yes
terday after motorboats had made
several Intellectual attempts to get
them to the shore. 500 yards away.
The flying boat is still fast, but 1t
is expected will be free today. AT
0 o'clock Monday morning she rose
for a test fight with c. J. thinner
man as pilot, F. Sanborn assistant
pilot and five mechanics, At noon
they descended to make adjustments.
The wind blew chunks of ice in
huge quantities into the area arouBi
the plane and between the craft and
shore. When the crew attempted to
make shore they found the flyiGg
boat was hemmed in. A motor craft
was transferred by truck seven miles
down the shore and from that point
approached the airmen from the open
water and at 3 o'clock in the morn
ing effected their rescue.

new PARIS STOCKINGS
CALLED EYE OPENERS
They're Radiant and Trimmed
With Varied Decorations.

LONDON. Jan. 26. - Radiant"
stockings. announced from Paris,
have not yet startled promenaders in
London, though footwear fashions of
the moment in England could by no
means be called conservative in con-
ception and design.
One of the mildest designs Is the
spider and fly design. the web, in
delicate silk tracery. is designed to
come just above the strap of an
ankle-band shoe. Birds. wreaths of
flowers and fruit, animals and swas-
tika signs, which. appearing on mi
lady's veil, used to have the effect of
decorating the tip of her nose, have
been transferred to the gossamer
stockings.
A slim golden or silver anklet.
worked in the silk of the stocking,
is one idea which gives an Eastern
effect to an otherwise Western toilet.
Tiny sprigs of oldfashioned flow
ers worked in the correct colors on
the front of a pair of stockings were
seen in wear in Bond street.

cording to revised audit OF 1913 tax

quires that the details such returns

The bureau, it is said, can make no
accurate compilation of the total
number of American millionaires who
paid income tax in 1918. Officials ex-
planned that many in that class
showed varying incomes. Some re-
puted milliOnaires reported net in
comes, for example, as low as sums
ranging from 100000 to 100000.
Altogether there were 243 officially

New Mexico Senator Is now soJourh-
ing on the Indian river housepost'
where he went at the earnest solei-
tation OF the President.
IL is generally felt by Senator HARD
ing and a number OF prominent ne
publicans In the Senate that there
should be one sitting Senator CHOSEN
for a Cabinet post. They believe IL
would do much toward promoting a
cordial relationship between the Whlte
House and the Capitol TO have the
Senate represented"
One OF the things. II has been
pointed out, that made the Wilson Ad-
ministration experience tough sled
ding with the Capitol at times was
the fact that there was very little
personal relatiopship between MT.
Wilson and his Advisers and the SEN
ators on the Hiii. IL is the desire OF
the Republicans TO prevent any such
recurrence by having some representa-
ton at the other end of the Avenue.
CALLS FOR WESTERN MAN.
Senator Harding is known TO be
having difficulty in choosing a man
for the jon as Secretary OF the In
terror. Logically the post calls for a
Western man. familiar with the con-
ditions and needs OF the West. and II
ia in connection, with this portfolio
that Senator FAN IL reported to have
been summoned to join the houseboat
party. ...''
Fall has spent most of his life in
the West; ne knows intimately the
natural needs OF the country and
aside from all this he is an acknow-
lodged authority on Mexico. In the
Cabinet he would be in an excellent
position to give the President much
valuable advice on the formation OF a
new Mexican policy. --r
Falls appointment would kill an
other of Harding's worries. The ten
tative Cabinet states 20 far reported
have failed to include a far Western
representative. and this fact has been
the cause of some dissatisfaction on
the part of far westerners who feel
they are being sighted. Fall is a
far westerner.
FALL Is POPULAR.
Washington gossip has connected
Fan's name with the State and De-
partment of Justice portfolios also,
but it is not believed he will be found
in either of these after March 4.
Republican Senators generally
would greet the New Mexican's ap-
pointment with well nigh unanimuos
approval. They would feel that they
had some direct representation In the
executive branch of the Government
to whom, by reason of long years of
working in the same harness, they
could go and talk freely.
The Republican Senators feel that
this would materially lessen the
bumps of friction which frequently
arise between the executive and legis-
lative ends of Pennsylvania avenue.
