JUNIOR CHAMBER TO SEEK SOLUTION OF
 STREET CAR PROBLEM

The Junior Chamber of Commerce has outlined a policy. which it pro- poses to pursue in the matter of the street railway problem in connection with the jitneys. car fare rates and the like.
 The chamber intends to carry the question into all parts of greater B,r- mingham through suburban chairmcn and committees. Some of the chair men have been tentatively selected.
 The general policy declared by the chamber is as follows:
 CD Proper solution of the trans portat tion problem must be reached.
 CD Suburbs have more at stake than any other section. both as to property values and transportation.
 (3) Economies instituted by the receiver of the company would have offset the losses of the company duo to the industrial depression if tine city commission had properly regu :. lated jitneys and kept them of street car tracks.
 (4) Jitneys ought to be made safe and at the same, time forced to pay their share of the cost of govern ment, just as the street car company must do.

Burruss to Advocate Proper Measures at Next Board
 Meeting

Adequate storm drainage for the business section of Birmingham will be the subject Commissioner H. F. Burruss will take up with the city commission at it's next meeting.
 T cannot see in matter of this kind" said MT. Burruss yesterday morning, how the board can De baked at expense when there is so much at stake. Twice in the past several months the business section has been subject to damage by this water menace. and many firms have suffered material loss through the flooding of cellars, the damage to goods, and the city has sustained some loss in injured paving.
 This work must be done sooner or later, and as 1t will furnish work now for people out of work, the pres- ent time is best for it's handling. What we need Is adequate main line and branch connection to the county sewer. The city engineer has been busy with the estimates for some time and if he has completed them I will do all within my power to see that this work is completed before the heavy rains of the late sum mer set in"

SHORE TOMATO PACK
MATERIALLY REDUCED
The Output for This Season
Will be the Least for Some
Time.

Saulsbury. Md. Aug. 2.--The out
hook In regard To the canning OF toma-
tvs IN wicomico county this year Is
Particularly discouraging both 10 the
grower and to the canncr. Not only
~ the same true of Talbot and Somer-
yet counties. as well as Wicomico. but
tn. same situation is said TO exist
throughout the Eastern shore.
The acrrsage i'm tomatoes last year
IN the county was somewhere be-
TWEEN $500 and 1000. white this year.
ne nearly as can he ascertained the
farmers have set out slightly upward
OF seo. In Talbot the acreage has
hcen reduced from 5000 last year To
$50 this. and in Somerset the reduc-
ton is from between six and seven
thousand to alout ESQ.
The pack ON the Eastern Shore at
large will b. only about per cent of
that canned last year. it is believed,
and the conservative estimate of one
cf the largest Gamers in the East
places the pack throughout the State
~ not more than 10 per cent. The
pack on the Eastern Shore. according
to this sanc authority will be the
shortest ever known since the pack
ing industry took its place among the
business enterprises Of the Peninsula.
In this county there are about n
canning factories. only six of which
will bc operated this season on tomn-
toes. The canncrs have tried to get
OF their hands the bulk of the toma-
toes put up last year. which will inn
prove the situation To certain de-
gree. Very few tomatoes have been
contracted for this year by the can
nlng house men. the prices of these

price was as high as 80 cents.

RUSS SCHOOLS ARE
SUFFERING UNDER
BOLSHEVIC RULE
Education Languishes Along With
the General Breakdown of
Institutions

Petrograd, Nov lily a STAFF
correspondent OF the Associated
Press - Russia : school system has
suffered in the general breakdown OF
The economic system. LunacharskY.
the Commissar of Education, is en-
deavoring to correct and preserve the
free schools by edic:s but it is a diff
ficult task.
A great majority of the schools in
the famine districts are not opening.
and it is extremely doubtful whether
they can be opened this year. Even
in the great cities like Moscow and
Petrograd, it is doubtful whether they
can continue unless reorganization
proceeds with great rapidity AMI
energy.
In an effort to keep the schools go
ing, parents have made contributions
to teachers in the way OF money and
food and the children have Cften car
ried wood daily to the schools to keep
warm. Books, paper, pencils and
ether supplies have been lacking.
Lunacharsky says in recent state
lment that the Cheka, or Commission
for the Prevention OF Counter Revo-
luton insists that the schools must bs
kept free OF parental influence. To
accomplish this he announces that
the government. will name committees
in each locality to take charge of the
schools and will empower these com
mittees to collect money from the
parents who are able to pay
This step is in line with the gem
oral decentralization policy which
the government is endeavoring To
carry out since it altered its economic
policy and went back to domestic
tree trade Fads which were intro
duced in many of the schools have
very largely disappeared. Many OF
the teachers were extreme idealists
in the earlier days OF the Soviet gov
eminent and endeavored to work
many innovations.

President Awaits Cortege -
Swinging around to the west en-

members of the cabinet, Bishop Brent
and many dignitaries awaited it.
The platform had been raised high
and the front was mass of flowers
as the casket bearers, followed by
the officers as honorary pail bearers,
moved slowly around the colonnade.
On a special stand, well to the front,
the narrow box was placed and Gen.

GERMANY NEEDS
MILLION HOUSES
in LARGE CITIES
Shortage Is Increased By Incrceas-
ing immigration of Russian
Refugees

Berlin, Nov. 11.-More than 1,0O0,-
coo dwellings, apartments. or rooms
are needed in Germany to relieve the
housing shortage which has been
steadily increasing for the last w'aiSX
months. especially in the eastern
cities which are crowded with Rus
sian refugees, an official statement OF
the housing office.
In Prussia alone $4,000 rooms are
in demand, an increase of $4,000 in
three months and reports from every
large city in the republic declare the
housing situation is growing serious
with the advance of the winter. The
need in 62 of the larger cities is de-
scribed as urgent
The government had indicated its
intention Of abandoning the ration
ing of rooms within a short time, but
the fact that building operations,
abandoned during the war, have not
caught up with the demands has
necessitated a continuance of control
of dwelling space. Families, as well
as individuals. are permitted to &C.
cupy only such rooms as are abso-
lutely essential.
This regulation has forced many
families with large houses to take in
lcdgers. In such cases the families
are permitted to choose their dodgers
fix the charges and make such iv
ing" regulations as are deemed es'
sen ial. The space, however, must bs
oct upied, and so it has come abou
that home-owners have invited rela
ftives, friends, or acquaintances t
share their houses, many being ad
verse to, give accommodations t
strangers@n
