Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden, former
belle Of the New York-Newport set,
has returned from England and taken
up her residence in East Sixty-first
street, much to the delight of her old
set. Now it is known, too, that she
will be mistress Of her mothers villa
at Newport this coming season. Her
mother, the famous Mrs. Burke-Roche,
is going abroad to join her son for the
summer

We get to thinking 80 much of our
own crowded little Island that we
don't realize how much the one-time
rural districts Of Greater New York
have grown. l was amazed to learn
the other day Queens, Long Island,
has doubled its population in the past
ten years, shows 200 per cent gain in
new buildings in that time, and that
its factories have grown in numbers
from I'll to 1900. That sounds like a
fair little city all by itself, doesn't it?
The Long Island railroad reflects this
suburban growth by having carried
SO0OO,OO0 passengers in 1921.

Mckinley Held Poor
Judge Of Shoals Plan
Farm Bureau Representative
Says Senator'S Utility Associa-
tions influence Him

WASHINGTON, Sept 10.--0pposi-
tion by Senator Mckinley, Republican,
Of Illinois, to Henry Ford's offer for
the development of the Muscle Shoals
Federal power project was declared to-
day by Gray Silver, Washington repre-
sentative of the American Farm Blu
reau Federation, to be founded on 20
lifelong association" with the develop
ment of public utilities, from which he
had been unable to divorce his mind.
Mr.. Silver's statement was contained in
letter to the Senator in reply to the
latter's expression on the Muscle Shoals
question made public early in August
Policies advocated by the Senator re-
fected his former association with the
public service corporations, the letter
said, and were based not on a program
of furnishing cheaper power, but on
one of obtaining for the Muscle Shoals
power "all that the public is able to
pay"
Senator McKinIey's plan of selling
the power at the dam would mean un-
questionably that it would be turned
over to the Alabama Power Company.
the letter asserted, and added that such
an arrangement would not be helpful
to anybody except = the distributing
company and the financial interests,
"who would make enormous profits on
this basis" The letter advanced the
argument also that if the Mckinley
proposals were carried out no fertilizer
would be manufactured because Of the
high price of the power.

Henry R. Linville, president of the

tive in school work and its results
The study will be made from the view

and says that before this has been
completed the teachers will have or
ganized for their study Of the school

These studies are connected with
the actual work done by the schools. y
Mr. Linville says. "The public must

Bulk of Cities in U. s.
Show Employment Gain
August Report Favorable, in
Spite of Effect of Coal and
Rail Strikes

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.-0f sixty
seven leading cities in the United States
thirty-nine reported increased employ
ment during August, as compared with
July, while only twenty-eight recorded
decreases, according to the Industrial
analysis for last month, issued to-day
by the Department of Labor.
The soundness of business, it was
said, was reflected in the employment
increase in many industries, surmount-
ing the reaction of the rail and fuel
situation. Of LAPS firms usually en-
ploying more than 500 workers, or n
total of 100000, considered in the
analysis, the August 81 reports showed
a decrease of only 1881 from the num-
Der of July 81, and this drop was at
tributed chiefly to the normal labor
turnover.
Denver was first among the cities
reporting increased employment. with
New Orleans second. Lowell and Law
renee, Mass, also reflected the i'm
provement in textile conditions, while
Buffalo showed gains in iron, steel and
vehicle activities.
Building activities in some sections
were retarded by transportation diff
culties, but operations generally were
improving satisfactorily.

The Port of New York Authority has
declined to act as umpire between the
City of Newark and the Central Rail-

Bay Bridge, running from Elizabeth
port to Bayonne, as proposed by the
War Departments, on the ground thai

yesterday
"ln our judgment" the Port Author

any event, it could hardly avoid the
appearance of passing over state body
specially charged with the supervision
of such matters within the state"

permission for construction of bridge

Cottons

Light trading characterized the cot
ton goods market most Of the week.
The further downward course of raw
atton at the opening of the market,
blowing the holiday, upset the goods
.yade to some extent. A reaction later
lid not dispel all of this uncertainty.
Primary goods in the gray or unfin-
shed state held firm, despite the fiuctu-
alton in raw cotton.
In finished goods trade continued
fairly light, with buyers inclined to
take goods that they required only in
the near future. Percales and mapped
goods are among the most active
fabrics. In some quarters fairly heavy
business on ratines for spring use is
reported. Export demand is slightly
better, according to some houses.

Better grade jewelry demand is in
creasing. Retailers reported a falling
off in popular-priced jewelry sales, and
in some cases, a noticeable increase in
demand for the higher class goods.
Jobbers report that all sections Of the
country are represented in the better
buying movement. The settlement of
the coal strike and the possible early
settlement Of the rail strike were re-
tiected in better collections last week.
Popular priced demand has settled
around four classes of goods-rings
bracelets, sautoirs and earrings. In
both earrings and bracelets emerald
and diamond combinations in platinum
mountings are popular. In earrings
the gem trend is for sapphires and
semi precious colored stones. Pearl
necklaces and beaded bags were good
sellers in the higher-priced lines. Dia-
monds continued firm. Scores of cheap
and low grade diamonds are now being
sold in Russia. Some of the local cut
ters warned retail jewelers. to be on

Upper leather was quiet. Apparently

The demand for plump weight calfskins
continues and tanners are still hoping
the anticipated popularity for boots
will be reflected in improved light calf
skin business. Tannery operations are
still hampered by the coal situation, and
this applies also to shoe factories in
the northern part of the state. The
