iELpSe
FOR "THE CITY BEAUTIFUL"
Writer Has Some Things to Say
Which Should Appeal to All Lovers
of Their Town.

In an interesting article in the
Ladies' Home Journal recently Jane
Leslie Kift made the following peril
nent remarks:
1.-The number of hopelessly shabby
little towns is appalling. Almost every
town, be it large or small. has a wO-
mans club, and the women of these
organizations set the standards, and
the rest of the community make a
more or less successful effort to live
I'D to them. So it is to the club wom-
EN- of America that l make the appeal
that they exert every effort to further
The City Beautiful movement.
1.-The word city is used in it's broad
est sense and embraces all towns, IT.
respective of their acres or the number
of their inhabitants. Each community
has it's own problems that must be
worked out along individual lines. and
this thought has been kept in mind
when the plan presented on this page
was made While it is definite, it Is
| sufficiently elastic to admit Of the nee
essary changes to make it adaptable
| to any community.
"All clubs, such as new century ant
civic clubs, have garden committee
| This committee should be given thu
work of managing the campaign fol
The City Beautiful; and the re
mainder Of the club should lend it thei
whOle-hearted support. The size O
the committee is not Of paramount i'm
pOrtance, but a committee Of tweiv
makes a good working number. To-
many members cause confusion, ant
too few means that some will be over
worked"

Garden Cities for England.

London is trying to work out its
housing crisis by building little gar
den cities about 20 miles outside its
limits. These experiments in whole
sale home construction are being car
ried on by the enterprise Of private
capital backed up with the generous
government subsidy that is being given
70 all bone construction projects
The profits of the promoting COM
pany will be limited to seven per cent
OF the investment, the proceeds over
and above this amount going back into
town improvements.
The ideal house so much talked OF
in England, that resulted from the
Daily MAJ, competition, will be given
practical tryout in this new city
The name of the place when completed
will be Weiwyn Garden City.

Price of Milk Is Cut a Cent
AS Wage Increases Are Denied

A board Of arbitration, headed by
Federal Judge Edwin L. Garvin, yes
terday decided that no increase of
wages should be granted to employees
Of milk distributors in the metropoli-
tan district, because living costs are
on decline.
Following this decision: closing a
three months controversy, Borden's
Farm Products Company announced,
through Patrick D. Fox, president, that
the wage settlement and the farmers
recent reduction of Ia cents quart,
effective February /, would make pos
sble reduction of about l cent to
the consumer. This reduction is ex-
pected to be general. Mr.. Fox said that
any price reduction by the producer r
would be passed on to the consumer.
The decision Of the arbitration board,
which has had protracted meetings in
Judge Garvin's Offices in the Federal
Building Brooklyn, affects milk com.
pany employees in greater New York.

ings the employees were represented
by George W. Briggs and Walter

ference Board spoke for the employers.
IN st}tement yesterday the arbi-
tratlon board announced: During the
hearings the chairman was called upon
to make two rulings of great i'm
portance. The first was whether the
board had the power, as the employers
claimed, to make an award which would
fix wage scale at a lower rate than
under the existing contract.
THE second, which was necessitated
because of the first ruling, was whether
the board would be warranted in ac-
cordance with the request of the EN-
ployers, in fixing q rate which should
be binding for one year, with the op-
tion to ther party to reopen the
award after six months and to have a
new award made by the board of any
character, should the then economic
conditions warrant q change
"The chairman rendered decision
upon each question, deciding both in
favor of the employees, and holding,
first, that the only question to be arbi-
trated was whether there should be an
increase Of wages or renewal at the
present scale, and, second, that the con
tract must run for one year after No

Erie Puts All Workers
On the Five-Day Week
Action Declared Necessary, Af.
ter Wage Cut, to Effect
Eurther Economy

The Erie Railroad, which recently re-
duced its pay roll. put practically all
its working force on the five-day week
yesterday in order to effect further
economy. "Revonue is not coming in
sufficiently to carry the present load,"
the announcement said. The announce
mont, which was sent to all depart
ments by Robert S. Parsons, general
manager, follows:
"A further reduction in pay rolls
shall be made by working all office
yard, station and other forces five days
week, except where the safety o.
property is involved. This is done as
being more humane way Of meeting
the situation than to lay off any more
employees, which all concerned should
readily appreciate. Revenue is not
coming in sufficient to carry the pres
'ent load and we must all contribute to
the fund. This reduction is to be put
into effect at once"

LONDON, Jan. 22.-British submarine
40, Commander John A. Gaines. was
lost with all hands Thursday at the
approaches(to the English Channel. the
Admiralty announced this afternoon,
The number of persons lost was not
given, but vessels of this class carry
approximately six officers and ffty
men.
The disaster occurred 100 miles off
Lands End. The submarine, the an
noVncement said, had q full compile
ment of officers and men on board.
The K .class of submarines is the
latest type of British suhmersibles, the
vessels being 338 feet in length, with
a surface speed of "a knots and a speed
submerged of knots. They carry
eight torpedo tubes, one four-inch gun
and one three-inch gun.
The cause Of the disaster to the e
is not known. 1t Is said that while she
was practicing with four other sub
marines Of the X class she submerged
and never rose to the surface again.
The four other "K" boats have been
ordered to proceed to Vigo, Spain, where
an inquiry iy to be held.
The submarine flotilla formed part of
the Atlantic fleet, which left early in
the week for special cruise to Spanish
ports and Gibraltar. The submarines
were proceeding down the Channel from
Portsmouth, when they encountered a
gale and took refuge in Tor Bay, on the
Devonshire coast, until Wednesday.
Available naval manuals do not re-
veal the tonnage Of the X class Of
submarines, which were vessels of war
construction, details of the building of
which were not given out. They are
however, what is known as fleet sub
marines, displacing some 1,700 tons
when on the surface. They were built
especially for cruising at sea with the
Grand Fleet.
Naval records show three other sub
marines Of the K class as having met
with disaster. Submarine K-4 and XIII
were both rammed and sunk acci
dentally by larger British warships
Submarine K-13 foundered while un-
dergoing her trials. She was raised to
the surface, but the salvaging craft
were forced by heavy weather to cast
off from her. She was again raised,
however, and ultimately repaired, be-
ing remembered K-22
These craft are known as submarine
cruisers and 1t is claimed by British
naval writer's that they were in service
before any of the German cruising
submarines had even been begun.

$500 Suicides in Year.
Are Worrying Hungary
5000 of Them Women and
10000 Attempts at Sef-De-

BUDAPEST, Jan. 22.-Thirty- two
hundred women and 2,10O men COM
mitted suicide in Hungary in 1920,
police reports for the year show. In
addition, there were more than 10000
unsuccessful attempts at suicide.
The tremendous increase is causing
much worry, lnasmuch as the pre-
war figures were from SO to 60 suicides
yearly. The situation is attributed to
the gradual deterioration in living con-
ditions and the fact that the war had
the effecttof making human life much
cheaper.
Government, society and church
circles, realizing the grave danger TO
the country, have begun a campaign
against self-destruction. Sermons on
the subject are being preached in all
the churches and special police force
has been organized to keep strict
watch and prevent suicides. In num-
ber of cases where the police inter
vered in time the persons attempting
suicide protested against what they
termed the tyrahhous oppression Of
the authorities.
