Local Committee Unable to Learn Rea-
son for Cancellation of Car
bon County Dates.

The Jones Chautauqua System,
which sent an advance agent here a
short time ago to arrange for a three
days chautauqua course, has evidently
got its wires crossed somewhere, as the
advertised troupes of musicians and
other performers have failed to appear
on h dates given out. The chautau-
qua was to have included afternoon
and evening performances on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
The local committee arranged for the
use of the Jensen hall for these per-
formances, and is now 'holding the
sack" for that expense. \ large num-
Der of people had purchased season
tickets andsthis money is in the hands
of the committee and will be returned
to n purchasers as soon as all I'M
sold tickets have been turned in and
accounted for.
The same troupes advertised to APP
pear here were also billed for Hanna.

"Ischi" Is a Bug,
But Welcome Guest
of Sugar Planters

Honolulu, T. H, Aug. 11.-Ischio-
genus is only. about quarter of an
inch in length, moreover he is black
and pugnosed, but he has been
adopted by the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters association as one Of its
pet children.
"Ischi" is a bug. He is British
by birth, having appeared original
ly in Australia, but he is fast be-
coming naturalized wholesale in Ha-
waii. He is being imported in job
lots by the planters to wage war on
their enemy and his, Syagrius Fulvi-
tarsis
"Sy" is a scale-armored insect
that ruins the sadleria fern on the
mountain sides of the islands. Since
the ferns are necessary to preserve
the watersheds and water is neces-
sary to the sugar plantations, Ischio-
genus is proving a valuable ally of
the planters, according to scientists
of the planters association expert
ment station.

Plan 1000 New
Houses in Pittsburg
Within Next Year

Pittsburgh. Aug, 1.-Two thou
sand new houses for the Pittsburgh
district within the next year is the
aim of the housing corporation OF
the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce
formed to better the acute rent and
home situation here.
Cheap money, construction at
about one-half the usual cost and
expert supervision without charge
are leading features of tho plan. It
has so appealed to the public that
scores of building applications have
been filed.
The movement is for civic better
ment. without profit to the corpora
ton. Its officers are giving their
time and business experience with
out hope of financial reward. Bank
ers, builders and material dealers
have fallen into line. The result
has been that money for construc-
ton is available at the legal rate of
six per cent. without bonus, materi-
ais are being provided at little more
than cost. and some 1000 lots have
been listed as available sites for
dwellings.
The corporation has no money.
nor does it assume any obligations.
On the other hand it insists that ev-
cry house be financed before work
is started, but it helps in the finan-
cling.
1t demands that each prospective
builder shall have not less than 20 per
cent. of the total cost. Then it tells
him where he can get a first mort
gage for 60 per cent. and If neces-
sary it ruts him in touch with an
institution that will take a second
mortgage for the remaining 20 per
cent.
This plan is primarily to help
those living on moderate salaries
and incomes who have been hard
est hit by the shortage of houses
and the consequent high rents" A.
w. Thompson, president of the cor
poration. says.
with this in mind we have set
out to build modest, substantial and
comfortable homes at low cost.
These houses will have, ALI the con-
veniences and necessities. They will
be good to look upon. but they will
not be SNOWY. and best of all they
will be worth every cent invested in
them.
We are simply applying to the
man who wants home the meth
DDS by which mass production has
been successful, and giving him the
benefit of the saving in costs"
Applications for houses are group
ed into blocks of ten or more. to
get the benefit of heavy buying and
concentrated supervision
The corporation has eleven basic
plans and will build houses of four.
five, six and seven rooms. at a cost
of from $3.50 to 81 600 room From
these basic plans a limited mum Der
or other designs can be evolved. The
plans are regarded as the best pos
sible for this community.
Employees of leading newspaper
soon filled club and decided to To-
cate their colony in the South Hills
district, while a large party of Uni
Nersity of Pittsburgh professors
TOOK up the question of building on
land rear the University. Neighbors
living in flats and apartments in the
conGcsted residence sections have
also approved the plan by forming
nelghborhood clubs. A mum Der of
manufacturing companies have tax
en- up with the corporation the idea
OF providing houses to sell to their
employees at cost.
