STANDS BY NOMINATION.
President VIII Not Withdraw Gold.
STEMS Name for Collector

WASHINGTON, May 6-In the face
Of increasing opposition, outspoken on
the part. Of the Democrats and privately
admitted by some Republicans. over the
Presidents appointment to office of Nat
Goldstein of st. Louis and other Missouri
politicians involved in the expenditure
Of large campaign funds of Frank o.
Lowden in that state in 1920, the. presi-
dent has no present intention of with
drawing the nominations.
When a question was asked at the
White House yesterday concerning Gold
stein, it was said that the President
never boasts of nor apologies for his
nominations That was all the com
ment, it was stated, that the executive
had to make on the matter.
There were indications yesterday that
some Republican leaders might ask the
President to withdraw the nomination
of Goldstein to be collector of internal
revenue Or the st. Louis district. The
was discussed briefly yester-
day in the senate finance committee and
there was talk of indefinite delay on the
matter.

The Governorship Situation.
lRarre Iimes.

Rcdfeld Proctor's announcement of
his candidacy for the Republican nOmi-
nation for governor of Vermont is ac-
C0mpauied by a dignified and fairly
complete las far as the situation per
mittedD statement of his position re
garding some of the things now prOmi-
nently before the people of the state
The two chief points of his statement of
position We're, perhaps. his declaration
that the agricultural life of Vermont
must be brought back to its best con-
ditiOna and that the young people of the
state must be encouraged to engage in
farming in Vermont and. secondly. that
he 1.-THE candidate for g0vernOr) is en-

ton, which is of more or less interest
To taxpayers of the state but which en-
braces matter that has been so gener-'
ally exploited heretofore that it has lost
its novelty, is Mr.. PrOctOTS expression
of belief that the state expenses have
Eeen mounting to an alarming rate and
that some method must be devised to
check that increase. even to retrench.
Mr.. rr0ctOr's suggestion in that connec-
ton that retrenchment can be brought
about by consolidation of some depart
ments of state activity arouSes some
what more than the mild curiosity
%
created. Yet the consolidation is not
new: it has been in the minds of many
people The new phase of it would be
to devise some practical means of con
solidation. Possibly Mr.. Proctor has
something tangible along that line to
suggest and maybe that suggestion Will
he forthcoming later.
Such a suggestion would most nat
urally come during the period of pro-
primary campaign which is now 'inevi-
table through the entry of two we'll
known Vermonters in the list for the
guberuatCrial nomination. As most
newspaper readers are aware. Lieuten-
ant Governor Abram W. FOote of Corn
wall had previously announced his can
didacy for the nomination. 1t IS by no
means certain that others will not be
come candidates i'm due season: but
there is a feeling that the lines defin-
itcly shaped thus early will be kept
throughout the contest and that MeSsrs.
Fcote and Proctor viii fight it out be
fore the citizens Of the state without
further entry of a candidate or candi-
dates. However. it is a trifle early for
Eermonters to make mp their minds as
fnality. So they will study the can
didates already i'm and their platforms
while leaving their minds open to con
.ideration of some other person if, by
any change in the expected program,
there should be another candidacy.

Primitive Nile Gauges.

NiIometers were among the most an
Cient water gauges. and were used by
the Egyptians many centuries b. G.
Stone wells were constructed on the
banks of the Nile. and water entered
these through underground bitches. This
water rose and fell in sympathy with
tho river, enabling river surveyors (gov-
eminent oficers) to foretell the hour of
inundation.
Marked columns on the sides of each
well indicated the maximum, minimum
and middle gauge; the inspectors pa
trolled the banks of the Nile and in
formed the people (by means of bulle-
tinsl in advance how high the Nile
would rise and when the stream would
probably overflow its banks"
Lake Moeris, in Lower Egypt. was
connected with the Nile in ancient DAYS
by one of the many canals for which the
ancient Babylonian and Egyptian engi-
neers are now famous. This canal was
equipped with sluiceS adj gauges, so that
the land around it was never flooded.
If the Nile rose all that happened was
tlTat the blue crystal mirror of the lake
rose. too. If the waters of the river
fell then the lake filed them up by
careful manipulation of its sluices and
its own waters.

DECREASE SHOWN
IN UNEMPLOYMENT
Nearly One Per Cent Increase In Mum
Der Employed by 1.42S Firms
Better Conditions.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Improved
industrial conditions which /. are gradu-
ally translating unemployment into EN-
ployment were noted yesterday in the
monthly report of the labor depart
ment 5 employment service. Out of 65
cities where studies have been main
tanned, the month of April showed 40 in
which more workers were given places
on payrolls, and only 25 in which EN-
ployment decreased.
Despite a few disquieting industrial
features, Director General Jones said,
America is surely righting herself.
April recorded an upward movement
with industrial lines broadening out
which will show increased activity in

iron and steel, automobile manufac-
turers, lumber, stone, clay and glass in
dustrIes were among those which took
on more men during April, as did build

tobacco and paper manufacturers showed
a lessened activity.
Employment decreases were greatest
in Lawrence, Mass. amounting to 500
Der cent; Memphis, 23.7, and Brockton,
Mass, l2.4 per cent. @
In all, the increase over the previous
month in the number of men employed
by 1923 firms which report to the de-

How to Own a Home.
bennington Banner.)

Every growing town in the United
States is having serious trouble to pro
vide housing for the people who would
like to live i'm that particular town. The
cost of building for several years has
been so high that practically very few
tenement houses have been built except
that few buildings erected for other
purposes have been changed over into
apartments to partially supply the de
mand
In a town of 10000 people or upward
under present costs it Is practically i'm
possible to build even the most modest
sort of cottage for less than $1,000 and
d two tenement house such as are com
mon in smaller industrial towns costs
from $4,000 to $1,000 to build, This
means that the owner of a new single
house must get from $50 to $40 per
month for rental and a tenement in u dou-
bic house cannot be provided for less
than $50 to $50 per month.
These rates of rental are too high for
the reduced wage scales that are ncces-
sary to keep business going and the ques-
ton arises whether it Is possible to pro-
vide cheaper homes The problem has
been met in several places by organizing
house building clubs with from six to l.
members.
In most lines of trade the hours of
labor are not over Is per week and the
members of these building clubs have
used the extra hours of daylight in
building their own houses. With a little
practice these amateur carpenters and
Iaasons have been able to do all the rough
work and have employed carpenters only
for the more difficult portions.
Under this plan it has been possible to
build comfortable homes at from 81 200 to
s., 400 each depending on the amount Of
work, on the size, and the cost of lumber.
which varies greatly in different sections
of the country. In southern towns. where
cellars are not required, comfortable cot
tages have been built at a cost as low as
5000 each.
This plan is nothing new but is simply
going back to the old New England syS-
tenn when each family provided mostly for
its own wants and when job appeared
that required extra labor. such as rails
ing barn or other building bee" was
held and the neighbOrs turned out and
helped to do the work. Most of the essen
tialS of life are fundamental anyway and
have come down to Us from past ages. So
called new things are merely variations
from the old.

ffectives and delinquents on business
lines;
3. Good roads by commonsense meth
ods-good foundations, adequate drain-
age, without bond issue;
.. frequent recurrence TO prlncipies
OF state constitution one of which Is
frugality.
The Herald approves these principles
most sincerely, presuming, meanwhile,
that Mr.. Proctor will elaborate them
somewhat as the campaign progresses.
They are, in fact principles rather than
details OF fixed program and they bear
the same relation to a definite IeglSl"-
tive and administrative plan as the con
stitution bears to the statutes.
The principles set up are sound and
comprehensive; they give abundant play
to fuller developments and explanation
as the campaign opens up. They are
sound and conservative and yet offer
plenty of foundation for a structure. or
state policy of the most important and
constructive character.
1t will be seen from the outline sketch
OF Redheld Proctor's activities that he
has had valuable experience in practical
business as well as public service. 1t
may be said further that during hrs
membership in three legislatures most of
his attention was given to matters of
finance, revenue and state expense. In
fact, as chairman of the house committee
on appropriations in 1915 and chairman
of the senate committee on finance in
1917 he was recognized as an authority
in such matters.
As representative and senator, Red
field Proctor gave careful, studious at
tention to his duties; he was always
ready with the full facts when informa-
tion about state finance was called for;
he frequently called attention to the
tendency TO appropriate money beyonSdi
the states means; he was very well
thought of by those who came in con-
tact with his work
Personally, the ex-senator Is of a
modest disposition, but is credited with
commonsense. shrewdness. business abil-
ity and high personal character. He
stands well in his home community, his
county and elsewhere in Vermont where
best known.
Altogether he seems excellent and
promising material for the governorship
and win attract public favor as time
goes on. Rutland county will support
him pretty generally

Elsewhere The Herald gives consider
able space to the announcement of Red
field Proctor as a candidate for COVER
nor, an announcement that has been an
ticipated in some quarters with consider
able interest, if not apprehension.
Mr.. Proctor does not presume to of
fer any sensational or radical plan for
the administration of Vermont's state
government during the next biennial
period. His modest announcement, how
ever, points definitely TO the following:
l. Less concentration of government
i'm state and federal administrations:
,. Arrest of continual increase in cost
of government and reduction of state eX-
penseS without loss of efficiency;
3. Encoura cement of agriculture
through access to scientific knowledge:
protection of plants and animals against
injurious disease; encouragement of re-
fOrestatiOn;

And YOU can all play ball;
Go driving in your flivyer
Or make a social call.
There are very few restrictions,
Most all can have their way;
And the numbers growing smaller

You all may go a fishing
And have all sorts of fun;
Engage in most all kinds of sport
And even shoot a gun.
Perhaps you pillow your garden
Or maybe cut your hay;
Or lay a rod of stone wall
Upon the Sabbath Day.
The old Mosaic law
Has fairly stood the test;
And that's six days of work
And then day of rest.

Would sanction all the things we do
