Proposed Street Improvements
 Bring Figures High

The board of public works yester- day afternoon completed its budget for appropriations which will be recommended to the common coun- cil. The street department will ask for s3s6,157.00 as against $191,550 which was allowed last year. Sep arate appropriations which cover street lighting, sewer maintenance, state highway work, street sprink- ling, catch basin installation. street improvement which includes the proposed Arch street widening and permanent pavement amounts to s34O,9e7, comparing with .s1S3,500 allowed last year.
 Comparison of the budget with last years figures show several in creases. The appropriation asked for the care of trees amounted to s5,000, double the appropriation granted last year, and s40,00O is asked for the general repair of streets as against $30,000 allowed last year. An increase of sS,OoO to $1S.o0o is asked for permanent pavement re- pairs. Snow and ice removal will re- quire $10,0o0. double the amount granted last year. which is termed inadequate by the board. For new tools the department asks sS3,000, while only 3s,Soo was granted in 1926.

Build Cotton Market
 Far From SOuthlands

Chicago, Jan. 2S R-Pioneering days of the Chicago cotton market are over.
 Far from the blossoming fields of the southland, the local market, established in 1924, is hailed as be- yond the experimental stage by Samuel P. Arnot, chairman of the cotton committee of the Chicago Board of Trade.
 Using an index number placing June business at 35, Arnot declared that July business amounted to IFS, August 307, September 507, Octo- Der 1133, November 544 and Decem- Der BIO.
 Deliveries of cotton on Chicago contracts are at Houston and Gal weston. Total deliveries for 1926 on Chicago contracts were S5,050 bales, against e2.500 at New Or leans and 355, 400 at New York.

f. B. &. AMuSES AS
 DEBATE CHAIRMAN
Shaw Presides as Women Of
 Leisure Are Discussed

London, Jan. 2S R,-George Der nard Shaw had a new role when he acted as chairman of a debate Srl "The Menace of the Leisured Woman" last night. The audience which gathered at Kingsway Hall to hear the debate-between Gilbert K. Chesterton, and Lady Rhondda- were more tickled with the remarks of Shaw than in the actual debate.
 Formerly, Shaw said, woman had little leisure but nowadays that was changed by the service in flats and residential hotels, and a woman "can spend her time drinking cock tails, going to night clubs, dancing the Charleston and doing all the things many women seem to 1m- agine will i'll their lives gloriously."
 He did not know whether MT. Chesterton was going to defend the night clubs, but it was his opinion that if challenged to dance the Charleston with Lady Rhondda, MT. Chesterton could not do it.
 Lady Rhondda, who heads the list of high salaried British business women, declared that the existence of the leisured woman constituted a grave menace to civilization.
 'If we continue as we are today" she said. there is danger that this evil may wreck civilization"
 The clothes women wear she de- scribed as invented only for the leis- ured class and ''worn by the rest of us because the human animal Is a herd animal"
 MT. Chesterton defended the old tradition that the woman of the home should remain at home and occupy herself with the tremendous business of bringing up children.
 ''The home," he said, lis the only place left where there is any liberty and individuality and any possibil- ity of human personalities counting as such"

1t is much easier to avoid tan

both, comparing them with each
other, studying them both, and at

her to be proud of the friendship.
And it may be that each hopes in

Brownie Is not trusting to snap
