NO FUTURE WARS

 terials, Calder Says

No industrial war in Europe wlIl ever be fought again for dynasty, according to Professor John Calder of Springfield college who spoke at the meeting of the Rotary club at the Burritt hotel today. Basis for Professor Calder's statement was the fact that he recently spent more than q year in Europe studying m- dustrial conditions there. He said the war of the future will be fought on the basis of material and markets.
 Defining democracy he said it is the development of the individual ism on one hand and voluntary pub lie service on the other. Referring to industrial democracy he saiu the worker today demands no profit sharing basis, asks no voice in con- trol. but he wants steady job and an adequate living wage. The speaker called attention to a familiar advertisement Milk from contented COWS" He said there are
 
 America is d land of health discon- tent. The need today is the substi- tuition of ethics of national demo- cracy in place of the master and servant ethics, he told his hearers.

 Professor Calder was introduced by Roy Noren.
 Among those who were present at the meeting was l.. G. Pauly or Melbourne. Australia. and Scott Ben jamin of New York.

BerkoVitz Protests Against Con. ditions Along Willow Brook

| 1sadore Bcrkovitz of 53 Lyons 1 discontinued work on clearing out 1 Willow Brook in the vicinity of Mon-
 roe street yesterday. resumed his | objection 10 the city's methods to-
 day. declaring that the construction of a culvert is necessary to remedy | conditions properly. He described
 Brooklawn and nearby territory as the "stepchild Of the city" In statement to the press Mir.
 Berkovitz said:
 ''I wish ii to be understood that I have no desire to interfere with the board Of public works in it's pro-
 gram of construction and repair. merely object to the city's method in improving sorrowful situation
 which has existed for several years in neighborhood in which I have
 been a resident and property owner
 tor over 10 years.
 'As I understand it the city merely wishes to repeat its perform ance of the past year. namely, to eXcavate little deeper and let it
 go at that. This is not a construc- tive program; it is merely stalling
 on an issue whit . must sooner or
 later be solved.
 This neishborhood is the step-
 child of the city. and the open brook is its eyesore, particularly the brook
 running diasonally across Brooklawn street. thereby ma.:ing traffic through Brooklawn stree; to Mon- about o50 residents on Brooklawn street who arc ilconvcnienced by this situation and arc guired to make detour in order to arrive at the center Of the city. We have in he Vance school
 one of the best schools in the city.
 A few feet away from the play
 ground of this school there is an open brook which becomes stag nant in the summe,, thereby en- dansering the health of the chil-
 dren.
 'I am not alone in my objection to the city's present project. I can
 safely say that l am supp orted by a majority of the residents in the neighborhood.
 "I have been a ~ed by many residents in the vicinity of this brook that they would sign a petition
 to the common council demanding
 the following:
 "1-Thc construction of culvort
 along this brook in order to make further floods impossible. and make
 Brooklawn street passa ble. '2--To require the American
 Hardware Corporation to tear down the dam at the i"tCrSot c of Arch
 street and shuttle Meadow avenue. This dam serves no useful purpose an : rs lily the chief cause of the past floods.
 II am advised by my attorney that
 a resolution for the removal of this
 dam is already before the board Of public works for consideration, and tha. that board is to report back to the common council in two months. l have instrL ted my attorney 10 p pare a petition asking for these Improvements. and when the same is prepared and signed by residents
 Of this section I will r. the council members Of this sec I to present it 10 the common council"
