Labor Bill Has Poor Chance.

The Nye bill providing for a 49,
hour week for women employees of
hotels and bringing them under the
rulings of the Industrial commission,
is having a checkered career due to
the persistence of the women lobby
lists for the measure. The bill was
calendared in the assembly last week,
but was withdrawn at the last minute
when it became evident its defeat was
certain. The oil has been amended
to b,ing women employees under the
control of the Industrial commission,
but limiting ie maximum hours to 55
iGurS each week. The women repre-
serdaIives of TIE various clubs are Op-
posed to the various amendments and
declare they would rather see the bill
defeated than to recognize n 55-hour
week. Assembly leaders are certain
the bill cannot pass as a 4S-hour meas
ure.

SPRING CLEANUP BACK TOCAVE men

A prominent physical instructor in
one of the great cities, who apparently
Graves publicity and whose name we
therefore conveniently forget, advises
his patients" to restore their youth
by returning to the habits of the cave
man, and he has considerable follow
ing of men whose position in the world
should enable them to know better
Such, at least, is the information we
CLEAN from the metropolitan press.
The advice is interesting, at least,
and if his patients" follow it minute
ly they will become even more inter
esting.
The cave man used neither knife nor
fork. He snatched a hunk of meat,
tore it with his teeth, and devoured it
until he could hold no more. The in
structor's patients, we presume, are
doing likewise
If the cave man had an enemy he
sma shed him on the head with club.
Possibly the patients are equally
ferocious.
When Mr. C. NJ wanted a wife he
simply swiped the first maiden who
pleased his fancy and bore her away
to his cave. The patients" no doubt,
"a 'e just pining for a similar experience
by return to the primitive
We pity the fool because he hasn't
brains enough to know better, but
when a supposedly intelligent man de-
scends to a level below that of the i'm
b .cile it must make God blush for some
of the creatures He creates.

IF YOU HAVE
THE MONEY

Build that needed house now. Paint
that dwelling, that church, that school.
Repair that fence and make the farm
look more tidy. Build that highway.
It is badly needed. Pave that street,
it will help your town. Improve the
water-works and extend the sewerage
system, for they will better the health
of your townsmen. Build that church,
that school, that courthouse, and go
ahead with everything that shows you
are a red-blooded American, with
faith in your country. Now is the
time for men-real men-to lead off
and do things. Cowards only are
slackers. The patriot can do as much
in this time of peace for his country
as he could do in war. Let's play ball!

COMMERCIAL
POTATOES

On April 1st, approximately 6,970
cars of potatoes, 26.9 per cent OF the

This compared with 1900 cars year
ago, 6,2 per cent Of the 1919 crop,
and $500 cars two years ago, 1877 per

Clean up or burn up, remove filth
or breed disease, which shall it be?
Do not bet your home or store
against few dollars worth of waste
paper or trash. There is always the
possibility of fire in incombustible
rubbish, it always helps to spread fire
increases the fire loss, and makes fire
fighting more difficult and more dan
ge~ous.
Gather up and remove all waste
paper, oily waste and rags, discarded
clothing, broken, useless furniture
leaves, boxes and other trash. They
are in your basement, in the attic, in
closets, in the back yard, in and
around your out-buildings, in fence
corners, and sidewalk gratings, in
wood boxes and other hooks, corners
and hiding places.
Be careful with rubbish fires and
watch small children so that their
dresses may not catch fire. Make sure
rubbish fires do not endanger build
ing. Leave no burning embers at
night; wind may come up to carry
them to your buildings.
A clean home, store, shop and town
should be your ambition and pride;
they are marks of good citizenship.
The defective, moss-covered single
roof, openings in walls, cracked CHM
neys, loose brick, rusted smokepipes.
defective electric wiring, should have
your attention.
Cleanliness is inexpensive, and a
little effort on the part of every citizen
will work wonders.
It is hoped all city mayors will pro-
claim some week, not later than the
first week of May, as "Clean-U Up
Week" and direct the local health of
fcers, firemen and street cleaners to
lead in this work.
Women's clubs, commercial clubs
and other civic bodies should lend
their active aid in this cleanup, and
the ever-ready help of school chill
dren and boy scouts should be utilized.
There must be no civic slackers.
Acting under authority of Section
927-p, city councils and village boards
often provide for the removal Of ashes
and rubbish at public expense. A
notice when city wagons will be sent
out should be published in advance
with direction to citizens to clean up
and place ashes and rubbish in piles
along the street or alley.
What has your city government
done in this matter
When "Clean-Up-Week" is past,
let every day be clean--up-day, and
keep your home, shop, and city clean
safe and sanitary.
Spring is the painting season, burn
up the waste and rags, used around
painting and vanishing jobs and ma
chinery; they are liable to ignite spon-
taneously at any time.

Probable District Changes.

Members of the legislature are dis
cussing probable changes to be made
in the assembly and senatorial dis
trictS by the reapportionment bill,
which will be passed at this session.
The opinion prevails that at least
eleven senatorial districts must under
go radical changes. The number of
assembly districts to be changed will
also be large. Assembly districts will
be based on a population of 800
Senatorial districts must have a pOpu-
latiOn of $4,000, while congressional
districts, providing the membership in
the lower house of congress remains
the same, will be approximately 1885,
coo. Milwaukee will be a gamer in
representation. One additional assem-
blyman, making 20 in all, will repre-
sent Milwaukee county in the lower
house, while the number of senators
will be increased from five to six. Mil
Waukee county will keep its two con-
greSSiOnal districts and a third one will
have to cross the county line and take
Few OF the wards. Racine county
Will become a single senatorial dis
trict. Winnebago county, now a single
senatorial district, failed to increase
ana another county will be added.
Farmer representation on the board
may be reduced. Industrial centers
will get larger representation and
farming communities smaller numbers.
The census was taken at the wrong
time for the farming communities,
Senator Oscar Olson said. THE farm
workers had left the country for high
wages in the cities. Now the trend Is
the other way, but it is too late to
count "

A PLAIN STATEMENT

0Y (11C <AONSAOAAOOA
On next Tuesday, June 2Sth, at noon, in the
Exchange Salesroom, No. ID Vesey ST.,
will sell all the many valuable and most ad-
vantageously looted New York City prop
critics belonging to the Estates of the late
Courtlandt Palmer and Mary A. p. Draper.
I will sell these properties, separately, by
order of the Supreme Court, and at Execu-
tors Sale, at Absolute Auction.
There positively have not been enough in
quiries on most of these properties to sell
them for than song The abso-
lutte, frank facts as follows:
ONE-BROADWAY & 14th ST, on account
of its strategic subway location, has had
quite few inquiries s-rnore than all the rest
of the other properties put together twice
again-but that is not saying much.
The reason why there has not been many in
quries for these valuable lots is the condi-
ton of "Wall Street." A lot of people who
might be attracted to these strategic proper
ties out of the market to-day because of
having to protect their Wall Street holdings.
But then-Can't you see that this situation
makes it an absolute BARGAIN SALE for
those who have the money and the time to
attend the sale and BUY?
This property must be sold in order that the
proceeds may be divided up among the bene-
hcaries, including some of our largest pub
lie institutions
At Broadway & 18th ST. the old Churchill
Hotel and Union Square Theatre have an in
come OF almost 100000 year, on old
buildings, and Ninety Day Cancellation
Clauses in the leases Think what "long
term" leases would pay!
TWO-At 18TH st. & Union Square, the old Union
Square Hotel also has very cheap rent
($15ooo) with Ninety Day Cancellation
Clause in the lease. We have not had more
than dozen inquiries for this well-knowm
landmark"
THREE-35th goth ST. and Eighth Avenue, for
the past generation and at present occupied
by Ludwig Baunann as Furniture Sales
room There has been very little interest
shown in this fine speculative property; in
fact, the Zone Committee in the last two
weeks, in spite of our protests, have declared
that the southerly half of this parcel can
only be used for lofts, and no manufac-
turing; but surely this property will 60 cheap
enough for anybody with little money, or
for operator to buy it and retail it, if
necessary in single stores for the many ten
ants in that location who would like to own
their own IS rs Ioo-foot business home.
FOUR-4oth St. & Madison Ave. has had very few
inquiries-less than half dozen in fact, in
spite of all the advertising.
FIVE-Lots at First Avenue, the East River,
I25th, I26th and I27th Streets, although
have had quite few inquiries for then be-
Heve will go for mere song because they
suitable for factories, and no one is think
ing to-day of building factory garage.
SUMMARY: Surely there must be some in
vestor, some operator, some man with
little spare money who could with profit
carefully investigate these properties and
purchase any all of them at the abso-
lutte auction sale to be held.
