the more prominent must suffice.
Burbank was born Mar. I, 1919 in
Lancaster, Mass, and as small
child his unusual love for flowers
was noticeable. The $50 which
brought him west in 1875 t. settle
In Santa Rasa was obtained from
the sale of the Burbank potato, dis
covery which years ago was esti-
mated as having added $17,G00,000
to the nations productivity. The
Shasta daisy, many varieties of pop
pics, Gala lilies, the single dahlia,
tEornless blackberry and spjneless
edible cactus are also valuable re-
salts of his genius. California does
veil to honor him Gy observing
Arbor Day on his birthday and by

particularly with the manner in which
this growth is being controlled along

This visit of Pennsylvania realtors
was largely inspired by reports of an

Home Owners Institute. Inc.

There are other phases Of home
owning wherein the unadvised man
and woman may go astray; not the
least important Of these is in the Sc
lection of the site for the future
home. Both the community which is
chosen and the particular site upon
which the home is to be erected
should be subjected to careful in
spection.
A good home locality will rate high
on the following points:
1. A residential community. not con-
gested; occupied by people OF similar
social position.
2. Property values steadily improv-
ing.
8. Taxes fairly apportioned.
4. Transportation facilities by rail-
road and motor route easily accessi-
BILE.
5. Schools. churches, ETC., within
reasonable distances.
6. Reasonable restrictions imposed
for protection of all.
Z. Public improvements already in
and paid for; these should include
paved streets and sidewalks, water,
sewer. etc.
8. Conveniences such as gas, cleo
tricity and telephone accessible.
8. The building plot should have
frontage at least double that of the
proposed house.
10. A clear title to the property is
most important.
Undesirable features should receive
frank consideration. Any locality will
prove a poor investment if it's condi-

LIGHTING AT ENTRANCES
HELD RECENT ADOPTION
Scheme for Home Illumination
Only in Use Past 10 or
20 Years.

1t has only been within the last
10 or 20 years that light at the en-
trance has been incorporated into the
lighting scheme of the home. In days
of gas lighting, except in the most pre-
tentious of homes, no provision was
made for it, yet today even the most
modest little dwelling does not over
look this need.
While porch lights are usual today,
a vast number of them are incorrectly
placed for best results. Yet with fore
thought given this, light may be had
where it will be most effective. In
dividuality need not be sacrificed. and
every home entrance may express the
man who dwels there in spite of the
fact that all entrances may be classi-
fled into three types and lighted &C

BrOWder to Tell Of
Chinese Revolution
In Chicago Lecture

CHICAGO, July 27. Earl R.
Browder, editor of Labor Unity, has
Just returned after spending six
months in China during which he
travelled through the Nationalist
territory, visiting 40 large and small
cities, interviewing several hundred
leaders of trade unions, peasants
unions, Kuomintang, Communist Par
ty, student leagues, merchants asso-
Citations and every phase of the Chi
nese Nationalist revolution. He was
at the headquarters of the National
list government during the split with
Chang Kai-shek and in close touch
with the leaders of the left Kuomin-
tang and Communist Party.
He consulted with such men as
Borodin, adviser of the Nationalist
government, Tan Ping Shen, minister
of labor and head of the All-China La
Dor Federation, and others. In addi-
ton to all these personal contacts and
the direct information he has gather
ed, Browder secured access to a vast
quantity of English TRANSACTIONS OF
reports of the trade unions and peas
ant unions covering the past two
years of their tremendous expansion
from a few hundred thousand mem
bers to their present status of thirteen
million.
PROVIDERS lecture will deal not only
with the large political factors of the
Chinese situation but will also give
an intimate picture of the mass or
CARNATIONS of the Chinese toilers in
the midst of their struggle.
At the close of his six months trip
in China, Browder was representa-
tive of the T. U. E. l.. at the Pan
Pacific Trade Union Conference in
Hankow, China, where the delegates
from eight countries and fourteen
million workers gathered in the first
meeting of its kind in labor history.
Browder was elected as secretary of
the permanent organization formed
there, the Pan-Pacific Union Secre-
tariat. He will also report briefly on
this historic conference.

Hitchcock was kidnapped from his

guns who intimidated his wife and

Traction Workers May
Still Strike in New York
lcontinned from. Page Onel

Continued from Page One)
he was reported to have said that the
matter stands just as it did on Tues
day night.
Union Not Recognized.
Although the threatened strike had
for its objective the recognition Of
the union this important point still
remains unsettled as far as the Anal
gamated officials are concerned.
Yesterday another batch Of strike
breakers pulled into town and joined
the thousands of scabs already quar-
tered at the barracks at 145th street
and Lenox avenue. Some of them
shouted lingo war song: eve Don't
Want To Go Home" The strike
breakers haye not been paid off yet
but it is expected that they will be
sent away in a day or so.
Tammany Deal.
At Tammany Hall and at the City
Hall it was stated that the "settle-
ment" was decided victory. 1t was
not said for whom.
Former Mayor Hylan when inter
viewed said that the "truce" had all
the earmarks of a deal between Tam
many and the I. r. T. with the Anal
gamated coming in as close second
in the victory"
Later in the day the Amalgamated
officials stated that they are inten-
styling their efforts to organize the
traction workers. J. H. Coleman said,
"The way we interpret the mayors
statement we have a perfect right to
organize the /. r. 7. employees and
we shall continue to do So" He
claimed that three hundred and eight
cen men were signed up at the "vic-
tory" meeting and that his organiza-
ton is now using the largest force of
organizers the Amalgamated has
ever used.
Turnout the day the discredited
Amalgamated officials kept whistling
in the dark by asserting that they had
sent out a corps of men to keep alive
the strike atmosphere which was so
prevalent prior to the sell-out.
Men May Strike.
When Coleman was informed late
in the day that the I. r. T. vigorously
denied that the Amalgamated was to
be allowed to organize the traction
workers, he said, "If the agreement
doesn't mean that, then we can call
a strike any time we feel like it, and
we'll probably feel like it."
Late on Tuesday when there APP
peared to be some confusion as to the
of the terms of the "set-
Element" James Quackenbush barked,
This agreement does not open the
door to the Amalgamated. If there is
that partakes of construc-
ton of that sort, I'll take care of that
mighty quick. If the Amalgamated
tries to continue to break contracts
between the l. R. T. Brotherhood and
the company then there will be re-
newal of the situation"
The contract between the l. R. T.
and the members of it's brotherhood
specifies that no traction worker shall
join any labor organization other than
the brotherhood. 1t bars the Amalga-
mated and mentions it by name.
