President Makes Home Plea
In Defeating Model Dwelling

devising new conveniences, of ex-
panding that understanding of domes-
tic science which must make for the
Improvement of American homes. We
have devoted much thought to the
Improvement in production, transpor-
tation and to a thousand things that
make for the advancement or clVlllza-
ton.
I'VE have too often overlooked the
fact that after all the greatest single
industry in America is the manage
ment of the American home. where
2O,OOO,OO0 women toll every day of the
wear: $4,000 900 of these women doing
their own work without help. There
is no other activity or industry COM
parable to this, in the numbers en-
ploved the effort devoted to it, or the
Importance of its products; nor. In
the Significance of the spiritual forces
that envelop it.
Aim of All Organizations.
THE home is at last not merely the
center, but truly the aim, the object.
and the purpose of all human organ
ization. We do not seek to improve
society in order that, from better
homes, we may bring forth better
servants of the state, more efflclent
cannon fodder for it's armed forces;
rather we seek to make better homes
in order that we may avoid the neces-
sity for conflict and turmoil, in our
world The home is the apex and the
aim, the end rather than the means
of our whole social system. So far as
this world knows or can vision, there
is no attainment more desirable than
the happy and contented home.
TT is only a few years ago that
this problem of deliberately develop
ing better homes received it's first
consideration in the establishment of
departments of home economics in
some of our universities. Since then
training in home making has become
a feature of our educational system,
The problem of better equipment of
the home, from the viewpoint of econ
omy in labor and effort, has received
all too little attention. We have at
tached Importance to making better
looking homes, to providing for home
ownership; but this movement is de-
signed to advance the creation of
homes which require less effort in
management, of homes equipped in
better taste, of homes which leave
to women who must manage them
a wider opportunity. a greater range
of privilege for social and spiritual
improvement.
Man of Yesterday a Serf.

a serf, peasant, bound to tasks whose
significance he did not know, and for
whose results he had small care. The

DRASTIC RUM RULE
FOR SHIPS DRAF TED
Treasury Department Pre-
pares to Put Regulations
Into Effect June 10.

The prohibition division of the in
ternal revenue bureau and the pub
lie health service today are making
every preparation to put into effect
the regulations issued yesterday by
the Treasury Department applying
to the letter the decision of the Su-
preme Court barring all beverage
liquors from territorial waters Of the
United States. The regulations take
effect after 1901 am. June 10.
Specifically the regulations pub
lished today apply the three-mffe
deadline to liquor carried for bev-
erage use on any United States or
foreign vessel as sea stores. 1t was
for liquor SO carried that Treasury
officials had hoped at first to avoid
conflict with foreign laws.
Besides the exemption granted
liquor for medicinal and sacramental
purposes, the only exceptions in the
wall thrown up against liquor trans
portation within the three-mile limit
are the usual immunity accorded dip
lomats and the privileges allowed
foreign vessels of war. Also vessels
forced by distress into an American
harbar and able to show that the
necessary refuge was grave. Will, II
they have liquor aboard, be permitted
to give bond for faithful observance
of the dry law.
Look for No Change.
The public health service officials
do not believe that it will be possible
for foreign nations to amend their
laws so as to permit of an excessive
amount of liquor aboard vessels for
purposes, or that the ma
tions will attempt any such amend
ments Nor do they look for any
effort to include as medicinal liquor
the liquor which some of the foreign
vessels now carry by law as part of
the rations for their crews.
Liquor as part of the ration is
no more medicine than is bread or
meat" one official said today.
However, in other quarters 1t has
been suggested that possibly foreign
nations might seek to have this liquor
ration regarded as medicinal" and
in that way avoid some of the diff
culties which are sure to arise over
the strict enforcement of the decision
of the Supreme Court against the
carrying of Liquor aboard vessels
within the three e-mile limit.
The decision by the federal court
in New York to the effect that Con-
gresS has no right under the prohibit
tion amendment to limit the amount
of liquor which physician may pre-

An appeal for better roads as a
means of developing trade and COM
merce and of obliterating remoteness
and the making of a better America
was made by President Harding to-
day in an address at the dedication of
the Zero Milestone. on the Ellipse i'm
mediately south of the White House,
this afternoon.
Mrs. Harding, Imperial Potentate
McCandless and hundreds of other
high officers of the Mystic Shrine and
the several thousand persons who
were on hand to witness the dedica-
tion of this stone, which from now on
is to mark the point of calculation of
all road distances in this country.
Our country has been more depend
ent upon the development of internal
highways" the President said. than
any other country in all history. De-
cause our vast continental area is so
i'll supplied with those arms of the
sea which have always kept the coun-
tries of western Europe in close touch
with that great universal and common
high road. the open ocean" The
President pointed proudly to the de-
Nelopment of highways in this country,
which accomplishment. he stated. has
been done in a most inconceivably
short time.
Progress Wonderful.
Touching upon what he termed the
wonders of the progress in road
building in America the President
said: "On the whole. we have made
a wonderful progress. as is attested
by the fact that our continent pos
sesses approximately half of the
worlds whole mileage of railroads
But in the matter of rural roads
tributary to these we have until very
recent years made a far less impress
sive advance. Within two decades,
however, marking the era of the mo-
tor age. our advance in this respect
has been phenomenal. making ii most
fitting that a recognized center of the
highway system should be set"
The executive paid high tribute TO

The Prcsidcnt's Address.
President Harding's address in fun
at the dedication of the zero milestone
follows:
MY Countrymen: In the old Ro-
man forum there was erected in the
days of Rome's greatness a golden
milestone. From it was measured
and marked the system of highways
which gridironed the Roman world
and bound the uttermost provinces
to the heart and center of the en-
pire.
I'VE are dedicating here another
golden milestone, to which we and
those after us will relate the wide
ranging units of the highway system
of this country. From the golden
zero stone of the Roman highway
system the soldiers, the adventurers,
the administrators and, later, the
missionaries Of Rome went out to

bambard an object at long or short
range and then slip quickly
beneath the waves. With her
great speed and gunpower. which
will surpass anything in her class
in the American Navy, she will be

LONDON. June 4.-Realizing the
possibility of new interallied consulta-
tions on reparations. the British gov
ernment has made a complete survey
of the plan Andrew Bonar Law pre-
sented to Premier Poincare last Janu-
airy. and is ready with new memoran-
dunn outlining substantial notifications
of the rBitish terms.
First, the French occupation of the
Ruhr as it affects Germany's ability
10 pay. and, second, the funding of the
British debt to the United States and
the consequent clearing of doubt as to
how much Great Britain must demand
from her allies and from Germany.
Great Britain is now able to explain
exactly what sums she must have an
nually from the debtor nations. Pos
sibly the total is smaller than was
laid down in the statement five months
ago.
Prime Minister Baldwin has sounded
out French, Belgian and italian opin-
ion in talks with the ambassadors of
those countries in London, and at the
same time has given them some idea
of Great Britain's new terms, which
will be more fully outlined If the way

hint from Great Britain. Germany

London to get information as to how
Prime Minister Baldwin felt about
the matter returned with a discour-
aging report Mr.. Baldwin and other
high British officials refused to see
them, and personages whom they did
see declared that 30,oOO.000,O00 gold
marks was insufficient.
However, Chancellor Cuno received
word from England day or two
ago" continues tie paper. that no
definite sum should be mentioned In
Germany's next note, and he IS act
ing upon this advice"
The note which will be sent to the
allies probably on wednesday or

guarantees Germany offers for rep
arations payments, the totaI OF
