Drive by Jackson
Heights Residents
To Improve Club
Arrange Entertainments to
Get Funds to- Beautify
Building Given to Them
for Social Gatherings

Residents Of jackson Heights,
Queens, where the majority of apart
ments are run under the tenant owner
ship plan, have undertaken TO raise
$4,000 to beautify the clubhouse re-
Gently turned over to them by the
Greensboro Corporation. The plan de-
ylsed by special committee, headed
by W. j. Justice. is to give a series Of
fourteen entertainments.
Judging from the attendance at the
TWO entertainments already given, the
plans of the house committee bid fair
to be big success. The first consisted
OF musical given by professional and
local talent, followed by a mock trial
depicting the first public session of the
jackson Heights police court" before
which residents Of the community were
brought on charges that evoked much
merrlment from the audience.
Judge Rumhauser" Lenient
Colonel Alsop brought before "Judpe
Rumhauser" on the charge Of makino
beer in his apartment, testified that he
had only twenty-three bottles, which in
the opinion of the court did not make
case" Jack Justice, William Siebs
and Perce Kaufman, members of the
Scientific Research Club" Saturday
night poker club, denied the charge of
being common gamblers on the ground
that their chief occupation was study
ing the sunrise.
The second entertainment of the
series, given last night at the club
house, consisted Of Il conibinat ton rnu-
sicale, card party and dance. The next
VIII be given under the auspices of the
Committee of Thirteen, an oreaniza-
ton of the men OF the Heights. the
chief aim Of which is to promote the
community idea. Other entertainments
later on will be given by other activi-
Ties at the Heights, including the Cath
ohc Church, the Community Nj. E.
Church, "The Players" and the golf
club.
The community clubhouse is a capa
cious structure which will readily
adapt itself to the improvements CON
templated by the house committee.
These include the installation of pool
and billiard tables, new furniture for
the dining room. reception hall, ladies'
room, mems smoking room and the
building in of q big fireplace at one
end of the dining hall, the interior Of
which will be altered under the SUPER
vision of local authorities on interior
decoration.
The plans of the Jackson Heights
Golf Club for the coming season indi-
cate that the members will have
much better course to play on this
year than last. Because of an increase
in the annual dues to $50 the govern
ing committee will be able to carry out
an AMBITIOUS Improvement program,

The Canadian Pacific Railroad now
has a terminal" in New York City.
Located only few hundred feet away
from the terminus of the New York
Central lines, over the tracks of which
the trains of the great road of the
North operate under a reciprocal agree
ment, the thousands and thousands of
feet of space in the giant building
underway at the corner of Madison
Avenue and Forty-fourth Street, &C
quired under lease, literally may be
accepted as the American terminal of
the great road of the Maple Leaf Coun-
try, our neighbor to the North.
As time progresses this will become
an actuality because the big railroad
OF Canada has not only leased the
store basement and part of the second
floor. in the building, but has actually
become part owner of the $8500.O00
structure, which means that it has OBJ
tanned the right TO additional prem
ises if it needs more space. IN view
Of plans of the company for widening
its scope over land and sea it is not
beyond reason to say that the company
will very likely need more space in the
building before many years have
passed.

Great Construction
Program About TO
Stavt ifo II. S.

A great building program is pre-
dicted by S. Marshall Evans, presi-
dent of the National Paint, Oil and
Varnish Association, He has reached
this conclusion from his own OBJ
servations and from reports which
have come TO him. He says in
Printers Ink:
Reports coming to me from paint
manufacturers all over the country
show that in the first seven days
agents have been on the road returns
were larger than the first fifteen
days the last time they were out.
The great building program that is
about to start shows that the banks
are working with the real estate peo-
pie and that investments along this
line are urged. Through the North
west and Southwest great strides in
the way of proposed building opera
tions have already been made"

 US. Farmers Must Meet New Problem
lRepubIiean A. P. Leased wlre1

DlaS MONIES, Iowa. Dec 1s- Agricuiture in the United States is lacing whole series of entirely ne,0 proplems arising in part from forces set m motion by the late war and in Part from developments that were reaching their elimination before the war, Secretary of Agriculture H. c. Wallace told the Iowa Fair Man agers' association in a speech here touay- Solution of these problems. the secretary said, will demand better nuslness methods than American farmers hitherto practiced, coupled with study of markets and organiza- tion for marketing control.
 Tt will never again be possible fin this country for farmers to take steady losses on their annual opera t1ons in the hope of eventual reim- bursement from rise in land values. ? Mr. Wallace asserted. He said the easily tillable land had practically all been occupied before the war and had passed it's initial period of rapid aug mentation in value. This truth, tenn porarily obscured by the imitation ir 1918 and 1919, he declared, is now be- ing forced on the attention of farmers in painful manner It brings farm CTS face to face with the inexorab ble necessity, he said, of faithfully and regularly meeting current expenses out of current income Capital farm values, he foretold, will not auto matica1ly increase in the future as they have done in the past.

OPPOSES ECONOMY
 WHICH WILL LOWER
 SCHOOL STANDARDS

Declaring that schools should be conducted as economically as possible but that to have first class schools money must be expended, John D. Loper. city superintendent of schools, discussed school conditions at the Woman's club yesterday.
 Mir. Loper did not ignore the fact that the schools had come in for crit icism because of the amount being expended in educating the future citizen. He said that he had been ap- preached on the matter and that complaints had been lodged by those who claimed that too much money i was being used for education Rem edies that had been suggested to him, he said, would dispense with domestic science and kindergarten work. The superintendent held that nc more should be spent than absolutely necessary, but that at the same time the standard of schools should not be lowered.
 MT Loper explained the method adopted by the state in wedding oui 1 inefficient teachers and predicted ! that the state board of education would select the state superintendent | after 1925 instead of the office being elective.
 The entire program given at tn club yesterday under the auspices O | the civics education department, Mrs | Grace Yarwood. chairman, was de
 voted to schools.
 1 Miss Jean Thompson of the Adam school spoke of the practical trainini
 in civics education of the pupils O her school. Each room. she said, ha' fits mayor and five commissioners an works out it's form of government By this method of study, she asserted the children are more interested Il their school work.
