does not hold good in Poland at the
beginning of 1882. In fact, the very
idea of progress becomes OF doubtful
value, at time when all talk Is OF mar
rowing the scope Of life, slowing down
the pace, limiting the output, returning
TO old methods in many fields Of activ-
1ty.
A horse costing 20 zloty (s220) as
driving power, and an oil lamp as
means of illumination, replacing the
motor car and the electric bulb, cheap
ness instead of extravagance-this is
seen as the only salvation IN the present
crisis by leading publicists here. and
these views are beginning to be shared
by the community at large.

the pressure Of public opinion will cut
down the budget and diminish expendi-

for the first time that Poland has levied
beyond her means since she became in
dependent. New roa0s, magnificent

Hence taxation is simply crushing the

TRADE WAR FACES
BRITISH AND IRISH
Macdonald and De Valera
Fail to Agree on Plan to
Settle Annuities.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, July 16-A bitter trade
Irish Free State and Great Britain to-
day following failure of President Eamon
de Valera of the Free State and Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald to agree
on a plan for settling the land an
nuities controversy.
De Valera and the prime minister
spent several hours in conference yes
terday in an effort to agree upon plan
broached by William Norton, president
OF the Free State Labor Party. But De
Valera returned to Dublin today, the
attempt unsuccessful.
Trade at StandstilI.
In the meantime the British special
tariff duties were being levied on i'm
ports from the Free State, with the re-
suit that trade was at standstill. The
Free States retaliatory tariff measure,
which passed the Dali Eirann yesterday,
Is ready to go to the Senate Monday.
Reports from Dublin said not a single
head of cattle was on sale yesterday at
st. SWithin'S fair at Garrick- -on Shan
non, for the first time within living
memory. The effect of the British
duties was reflected on cattle markets
offerings there were, were at con-
siderable reduction.
Based on Two Causes.
The controversy between the Free
State and Britain rests chiefly On two
causes. One is President De Valera S
insistence on abolishing the oath of
allegiance to the British crown and
the other is his refusal to pay SILL
C00,000 in land annuities which goes
chiefly to reimburse British land

THE attractiveness of this house
lies in its simplicity of line and
excellent adaptation OF wall
i space to window area. Under
lying this appeal is the fact that
this type of house came to us through
the architectural activity during the
Tudor period in England, which en-
bodied this simplicity
The special feature of this house Is
the octagonal entrance tower or bay
which carries the stair to the second

The end wall is blank purposely,
since it is the nearest to the adjoining

with a large fireplace which, with its

feature of the room.

MULTIPLE HOMES
IN FUTURE SEEN
E. J. Russell Believes Build
ina of Small Houses
Will Decline.

The problem of What should be done
with the blighted sections of large
cities is being given more study by
professional and civic leaders. ST.
LOUIS now is tackling the problem.
New York for a number OF years
has been endeavoring to solve the
problem of its slums and in Washing
ton years of study has been given to
the question of elimination of alley
dwellings.
Population Loss Predicted.
The next census probably will show
that ST. Louis has lost rather than
gained in population, according to
E J. Russell president of the American
Institute of Architects. He points out
that the last census indicated that
number of sections of the city had
fewer inhabitants than 10 years pre-
viously, and that this was not due to
changes in the use of property ,,,
Multiple dwellings in time will
house the greater number of St Louis
citizens. as comparatively few single
family houses will be built within the
city limits in the future" Mr.. Russell
declares. Studies now are being
made by the City Plan Commission OF
present and possible future blighted
districts
Mr.. Russell reported that a survey
of conditions in the lower East Side
of New York, made for number OF
banks trust companies and insurance
companies, revealed that values would
be regained only by demolition Of exist
ing structures and by new wholesale
housing. and that it would be necessary
to secure tenants who could aHord 10
pay twice as much rent.
In order to determine whether or
not this revolution can be satisfactorily
achieved a,great deal of research work
will be required, the results of which
would have to be carefully analyzed
estate, in investment and the other
branches that are vitally affected" he
said.
1T has been proved that where new
housing has been worked out on a
small scale, even though this scale was
that of an entire city block, it not only
has not been influential in improving
the neighborhood but has in time
receded to the level of its surround
lngS.
The problem in St. Louis is not
nearly so acute as it is in New York
and other large centers, but it is a
situation that should be met before
the deprecated values make the main
tenance of municipal and public utili-
ties a constantly increasing burden"

this case it is assumed to be under the
area covered by the dining room and
Kitchen
The upstairs has three bed rooms and
bath and small sewing room. which
might be a childs room. Ample space
and cross ventilation are planned for
all bed rooms.
Warm stucco forms the exterior. or
whitewashed brick could be used. The
roof is of slate or tile or wood Shingle,
all in warm tones of gray. The chimney
is of the same material as the walls.
All exterior woodwork is of natural
weathered chestnut or birch. The win
dows are easement type.
The house faces westward and could
go on a lot 60 by 125 feet; larger space
would be better. 1t is suitable to most
suburban sections in the United States.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN LOWER MARKET
Break in Auburn Auto Brings
Out Selling, but Losses
Are Reduced.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 23.-Unset-
tied by a wide-open break in Auburn
Auto, the stock market today showed
general reactionary tendencies, although
the early weakness was succeeded by
some recovery in the later trading.
The market opened lower all around
in continuation of the movement in
effect at the close on Saturday. The
feature of the first two hours was the
spectacular weakness in Auburn Auto.
The stock opened down a point and
then without intermediate recovery,
Slumped. sometimes a point between
sales, until it was off more than is
points on the day. At this stage sup
port was encountered and a feeble re-
covery ensued
Various reasons were ascribed for the
weakness in Auburn One was the gen.
eral falling off in motor car sales in
January as evidenced by the registra-
tion of new passenger cars. Another
was an impaired technical condition in
the stock. which has been repeatedly
bid up for no other reason than that it
was known to harbor a large short in
terest. Another story was that large
block of stock was being liquidated.
Whatever the cause, it unsettled the
general list
During this early weakness Peoples
Gas dropped below par for a loss Of
nearly 3 points. Allied Chemical, Con-
solldatcd Gas and American Telephone
were under mild pressure. In the rail-
way group Atchison and Union Pacific
sold of. Most OF these losses we're re-
covered after the market steadied and
all through the selling there was good
support for United States Steel, which
at midday was a shade higher on the
day. The oil stocks were noticeably
steady and the local fractions very
strong. Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit
and Manhattan Modified made new
highs for the year. responding to re-
ports that a satisfactory unihcation
plan would be agreed upon.
Trading was in small volume both on
the early recession and on the subse-
quent recovery. 1t did not look as
though there was much short selling,
but on the other hand there was no
sign of investment buying and the
market was left to the in-and-out
traders, with even these unwilling to
take position. In SO far as the cam
paign of the administration to combat
def1ation requires higher stock mar
ket support from banking interests may
be expected. If there was any such
support in today's market. it was in
the better grade of industrials.
Among the minor features we're a
new low for Hudson Motors and new
high for General Baking preferred.
Preferred stocks have been under quiet
accumulation for some time, moving
more with bonds than with the COM
mon shares.

PUBLIC PURCHASES
OF STOCKS INCREASE
Records Show Buying Has Con-
tinued at Greater Rate During
Bear Market.
BY J. r. BRACKET,
Written for the Associated Press

"AAttcA AOI bAc ASSoCldtcC EIeSS
NEW YORK, February 23.-Public
participation in stocks of American
corporations apparently increased in
1881 over 1880 in the face of declining
prices and a bear market, according
to an analysis by the Standard Statis-
tics Co.
An analysis of SO representative
stocks showed 1894 900 stockholders at
the end of 1881, as compared with S.
202, ,00G at the end of 1880 and 4,2O9 900
at the end of 1919.
BY percentages, 1891 stockholders in
these SO companies increased IS per
cent over 1880 and AZ per cent over
1929, the year of the bull market and
1880 increased IS per cent over 1929.
Figures are not now available to show
whether the total amount of stock out
standing of these companies has in
creased or decreased, but surface re-
search indicates the total number of
shares to be about the same as in 1929
and 1880.
Several reasons are advanced to ac-
count for the increase in sharehold-
ers and for the indication that the in
crease represents greater public par
ticipation.
Brokers have reported for some time
steady sale of small share lots for
cash, even as little as one share, by per-
sons obviously not intending to specu-
late either for few points rise or fall
in the market. Brokers believe these
sales are laying a foundation for an
extraordinary amount of stock buying
when the market shows relatively long
period of rising prices.
Some of the increase in participation
may De accounted Tor by employe stock
ownership. Employees purchased stock
on the easy payment plan, but until the
payments were completed the shares
remained listed with the issuing corpo-
ration. Payments were being completed
in 1880 and 1881 and ownership trans
ferred on that completion.
