the clubs. The congestion of the city drove
them out In the first place, and now they are
delighted with the real JOY that living out Of
town gives them. The distance to the Office Is
no longer porblem For instance live three
miles from my Office, yet I can get down to
work In the morning In seven minutes Even if
I am caught in the heavy traffic, it scarcely
takes more than ten minutes.
A MOTHER thing that is creating the chang
ing philosophy with regard to the deSir-
ability OF living In the city is the restricted
immigration
Before the restriction of immigration more
than million immigrants came to America
during q single year. Now those jobs which
were formerly taken by the immigrants will be
taken by the boys from the country They
probably viii want to continue to live at home
and drive In to the city to their work.
Recently we were alarmed at the number of
workers displaced by new labor saving machines.
Undoubtedly this is something to be watched
anXiously. believe no one knows what imme-
date practical remedy we can apply, other than
to take care OF those who are temporarily re-
leased from their old occupations until they
can be provided with new ones.

Employers, too, have been quick to see the
danger I'm needlessly adding to unemployment
and reducing the purchasing power of our peo-
pie. The time 10 near-I believe it is here now
when the wise employer, before installing new
labor-saving machinery, will first plan new en-
ployment for the workers his machines are to
diSplace. He realizes now that every worker
dropped from the pay rolls is a customer de-
pr1ved OF purchasing power. We who invent
machines so rapidly win not be long in invent

0. K. CHEST PLANS
Two Incinerators and Pro-
posed Municipal Center Are
Given Approval.

Approving the plans and program OF
the Community Chest, the Mid-City
Citizens Association, which met last
night in the Thomson School Twelfth
and L streets, appropriated $50 for its
support. Theodore G.. Risley, solicitor
| for the Department of Labor, addressed
| the assembly on the chest.

incinerators, one in the southwest and
one in the southeast section, met with
approval of the association.

erected south of Pennsylvania avenue
was discussed and decided to be bene-
fetal project. A resolution favoring its
construction was Endorsed. Comment
ing on the design of new structures
which would eventually be constructed
in Washington. the association recon-
mended that all architectural plans for
proposed buildings be submitted to the
Fine Arts Commission and the Com
miSsioners.
The Simmons bill, which provides for
$10,000,000 building program for
schools was approved. 1t was said
that the appropriation would allow
school officials to proceed with the pro-
gram.
The section of the appropriation bill
for the District which provides for Selec-
ton of teachers from the graduating
classes of the various normal schools
in Washington was opposed. 1t was
said that the section had been passed
as a rider" on the appropriation bill
and Disseminated against students liv-
ing in this CITY, The bill provides that
IS pupils having the highest average
in their classes will be fitted for ap-
pointments to positions as teachers:
Those falling below that average would
be forced to take competitive eXami-
nations and would compete with students
from other sections of the United States
Members of the association said this
practice would leave too many loop
holes for the appointment of unfit
teachers.
Mrs. Helen Zellers, director of the
Thomson Dramatic Guild gave several
recitations.
Miss Edith Grosenor vice president
of the association, presided.
