BETTER HOMES
MADE POSSIBLE
BY STREET CARS
Cheap, Fast Rail Service
Serves to Eliminate
Need for SIumS.
BY ]. ]. BEDLOW

Many OF the more serious prob
lens Of city life directly are con-
nected with means of transporta-
ton. When these are inadequate
or too expensive, the poorer people
Of the community are compelled to
live near their work.
In practically every case, as cities
have been built in this country, this
means living in what generally is
considered a factory district, and
therefore results in slums.
While people forced to live in
slums may have high ideals origi-
nally, the conditions of living tend
to result in degeneration of ideals
and morale. The wretchednesS of
existence warps men and women.
1t confuses their judgment, and
with some measure of justice on
their side makes them rebels
against the existing order.
Such sporadic manifestations of
disorders as show themselves from
time to time in city life arise fire.
quently from unpleasant living con-
ditionS.
Build Self Respect
The remedy, naturally, is the pro-
vision of better homes, homes that
build up self-respect and a better
idea of the maintenance Of property
rights. Give a man opportunity to
better himself, supply him with a
sufficient incentive to realize some
of these ideals, and he is a citizen
worth having.
Better homes are not possible I'M
less the means of transportation To
and from these homes is provided
at a cost that can be borne without
deprivation. Given such a system,
dependable and inexpensive, and the
American family will gravitate to-
ward the outskirts Of the city, where
home life can be enjoyed to the ut
most.
Nor is this limited to families of
American origin. The ownership of
a parcel of land is bred into the
very existence of most European i'm
migrants. Once located on their
own property, they become Ameri-
canized. Allowed to live in slums,
there is no love of nation, no desire
to become a part of the community
life.
Buses Substituted
So far, the best possible means
of transportation for the people of
a community is the street railway.
What the future may bring forth is
uncertain. In some places BUSES
have taken the place of the street
cars advantageously from the
financial standpoint, but perhaps not
so from either comfort or cultural
value.
Probably the cities, in the course
of their rapid growth, will "muddle
through" But it would seem that in
a problem of the amplitude of city
transportation there is demand for
constructive thinking, for fair treat
ment of existing institutions, and
perhaps, for the community good,
of greater inducement to make the
home in the suburbs more attrac-
tive to the people who can not
afford other means of trarSporta-
ton.

the beauty and strength with which

Bryan, historian of Tammany Hall,

of the beginnings of the philosophy
which led to Communism, has been
thinking of the same problem and
communicates his findings:
"Most of the artists who find

them take refuge in the intellectual
ease of the Catholic Church or it's
schismatic branches. or else find
stimulation in the activity of the
Communist party. To take only two
recent examples, T. S. Eliot has
found it expedient to join the Anglo
Catholics, and Edmund Wilson is
flirting with the Communist party.

PAY ON FRIDAY
CARR|ESC GUT

Rumors to the effect that Fri
day would be just another Friday
and not the first July pay day
caused considerable worry among
District employees today until they
were set at rest by statement
from the office of District Auditor
Daniel j. Donovan.
It was announced that the pay
roll has been prepared with an
8.3 per cent reduction and would
be so administered unless con.
trary orders were received.
AS to employees who have had
leave since July /, and there are
few of these, their pay may be
deducted for the leave taken plus
the 83 per cent reduction. This
problem will not be settled until
President Hoover decides whether
a five-day week will be adopted
or cumulative leave may be taken
under the furlough plan.

DELAY REV|vES
HOPE. AGAINST
5-DAY WEEK
Government Workers Believe
President May Work Out
Some New Method

President Hoover's delay in
deciding whether Government
Departments shall operate this
fiscal year on five-day week
in order to work off the "a
day furlough provided in the
economy bill, is causing new
hope among Federal employees
that a less drastic method is
being worked out at the White
House. ,
This belief was strengthened
by the knowledge that the sub
ject was discussed at yesterdays
Cabinet meeting, at which more
than one Department head indi-
Gated the impracticability of the
5-day week.
Expected Yesterday
The executive order, climaxing

troller General of major legisla-
tive phases of the economy bill

was expected from the White
House yesterday, but did not
come.
The first pay day affected by
the 8.3 per cent salary reduction
will be Friday, and the next day
will be the first opportunity avail
able for beginning the Saturday
full-holiday plan if that is or
dained. Hence, the decisions of
the President are expected before
Friday.
The Presidents deliberations
and delay have encouraged many
individual and group petitions to
him against the 5-day week
plan, while high departmental of.
ficials, only some of whom wished
to be directly quoted, have come
out openly declaring the Satur-
day holiday plan would not be
practicable in their departments.
Stagger Plan Favored
Some say a staggered system
might work out; some say a few
bureaus might get along on five
days week but others must
work six or seven; and all have
admitted that unfairness and dis
elimination will inevitably result
if the five-day plan is instituted,
Meanwhile, much Federal EN-
ploye interest today centered on
the matter of uniform sick leave,
recommendations for which were
made this week by the Board
of Simplified Office Procedure
headed by Brig. Gen. James F.
Mckinley of the Adjutant Gen
erals office, War Department.
Also Up to Hoover
Section 215 of the Congress
sional appropriation act, en-
powers this board to work out a
plan for making sick leave in all
Departments and independent
offices uniform. Such recon-
mendations as made have been
passed through the Federal Co
ordinating Service, thence to the
Bureau of the Budget, and thence
to President Hoover.
1t is considered possible today
that the Presidents executive
order on the furlough plan will
include details of the uniform
sick leave available.
