De Valera Cables Charges to Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-(Special 1883 by Associated Press) )-Eamonn De Valera, Steel-fisted President of the Irish Free State, declares in a cable to the Associated Press that England is keeping Ireland within the British Commonwealth by threatening to employ force of arms.
 President De Valera asserted that but for this threat, the Irish people would be free within "A hours.
 While regulations between the two countries rest on basis of force, there can be no real under standing, no real friendship be- tween us and the British people. For 750 years Ireland has striven to win back independence. She will not cease now" declared de Valera in his cable.

SOU s SEE, Tanisia, Dec. B. Two persistent German soldiers, William Schultzky and Peter Boh- len, are charged with trying to steal, poison, buy, shoot and swim their way out of the Foreign Le- zion in one of the most cinematic French leaves on record.
 The harder they tried, it seems, the more of a jam they got into until their escapades took the form of a movie thriller.
 The two Legionnaires, no long CT fond of the life imposed by the French military regulations on the First Regiment stationed here, far from their native Berlin, decided to desert, the authorities charge. Flat broke in the way of money, their first thought was to over come that handicap.

 They are trying to raise money in Arabia for constructive state enterprises" and every Arab has been asked to give at least five cents.
 But to encourage more sub stantial returns, the semi official journal "Sawt Al-Hadjaz" suggests that titles should be conferred for large individual collections.
 Thus, any Arab who collects s5 would be given the title of pat riot; $750 would earn him "ac- tive patriot; s10, great patriot; and $20, super patriot"

ried out well by writer's who have been able to
combine a good story formerly supposed to be
the prime necessity in fiction but of late
scorned by some of the ultra -moderns) and the
outlines of the city's social history. The first
set in the series is Edith Wharton "Old New

senting some of her very best work in that type.
Succeeding sets are "Old New Orleans" by
Frances and Edward Tinker and "Old Phla-
delphia," by George Gibbs The author of the
Chicago series was born in Chicago and loves
it, in spite of its faults. She has studied city
records for the material Of each one of these
novelties, and each narrative is consistent
with the historical background Of the period.

Oscar B. Ryder, formerly of the

Ryder's salary with the COM
mission was $6,500, but subject to
the IS per cent cut, making the
net salary $5,525. The NRA
wanted to pay him $4,000 even

so.

DRESSMAKERS.
POORLY PAID

Behind the dainty children's
dresses bought enthusiastically by
mothers too often lies a tragic
story, it was revealed by report
Of the Women's Bureau to the
Labor Department on its survey in
the spring of 1882 of how these
garments are made in Texas.
The Lone Star State ranks next
to New York in the production of
infants dresses, census figures
show. Comparatively little of the
work is actually done inside fac
tory walls, most Of the garments
being given out to be made and
embroidered by workers in their
homes.
Based on definite statements
by the workers, fair estimate of
weekly earnings for lot women
showed that half earned less than
So, third from So to So, and
only one woman as much as SIS.
The hourly estimated earnings of
80 women ranged from l to 1112
cents, we'll over two-fifths earning
less than 4 cents.

a program designed to provide
living quarters for the poorer
classes at a reasonable cost.
Ring, who recently made an
inspection trip to various houses
on which complaints have been
made, said he found the property
to be badly deprecated, lacking
in sanitary facilities, and in many
cases unsafe for the tenants.
A report on all obsolete rented
property in the District will be
prepared by Ring. He will rec
ommend that the commission
transmit this report to the Ma
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission for use in a
slum elimination program.
Ring will urge that the COM
mission recommend strengthening
of the laws relating to condem-
nation of obsolete and depreci-
ated property.
He said there is an urgent
need here of a project to pro-
vide reasonably priced housing
facilities. The Park and Plan
ming Commission in cooperation
with the PWA is considering such

Farley Defends
Byrd Stamp
Regulation

Postmaster General James A.
Farley today explained the
Postoffice Departments unpre-
cedented action in making a
5O-cent service charge to carry
covers bearing the new Scent
Byrd stamp to Little America
and back.
In view of the fact, Farley
said, that the Postoffice De-
partment has no means of pro-
viding mail transportation to
Little America other than
through the facilities of the
Byrd 1888 Expedition, it is
necessary that the 50-cent
charge be made by the expedi-
ton. The Postmaster General
stated:
"It was through recognizing
the great historical, scientific
geographical possibilities to the
country of such an expedition,
that the Department issued this
commemorative stamp, and this
5O-cent service charge is in"
tended to cover the cost of car
rying mail to Little America.
