BRITISH SHIP
 YARDS HARD HIT
Yet Last Year It Was Building Near Half
 Worlds Tonnage

London - CUP) = The British shipping industry has been one of the hardest hit by the depression,
 vet at the end of 1893 it was build
 ing nearly half the worlds ton mage.
 In line with increases in other
 industries, ship building in Great
 Britain and Ireland, at the end of the December quarter, showed an increase of 27,779 tons in the work in hand. The total of 331,541 tons
 was 106,044 tons greater than the tonnage being built at the end of December, 1892.
 This tonnage, according to sta tistics issued by Lloyd's Register of Shipping. represents 43.8 per cent of total world construction.
 The next five countries were: Ja-
 pan, 106,760 tons; Frances. 90.656 tons; Sweden, 64,640 tons; Hol-
 land, 40,540 tons, and Spain, 35,- 724 tons.
 While British ship building
 staged a minor boom, tonnage un- der construction abroad declined | to the lowest foreign total sincee
 June. 1909. In December, 1t was | 425,735 tons, a drop of about 27,- | 900 tons compared with Septem- | Der.
 Much of the improvement in the British position was due to the governments promise to resume | construction of the giant Cunard liner, 534, intedned for the north | Atlantic service. Work was sus- pended on it in 1882 for lack of | funds.

HOUSING PLANS
 FOUND IN RUINS
Planning Programs Merely limitations of Ancient
 Romans

Philadelphia (UP)-City plan ming and housing programs, now being advocated as crying need of modern civilization, are merely limitations of the city planning pro- jects of the ancient Romans.
 Dr Jotham> Johnson, field di- rector of the University of Penn sylvania Museums expedition at Minturno, Italy, pointed out here recently that the planning of cities dates back as far as the Etruscans.
 He returned recently from Min turno, where his group made the first excavations permitted by a foreign expedition since 1912. The ancient site of the city which the expedition uncovered lies halfway between Rome and Naples. It was laid out by a band of military colonists who left Rome in 295 B. c.
 "The little group of Roman colonists and their wives carried definite drawings of the sort of city they were to build" Dr Johnson said. "They knew how large it was to be, how many people it must accommodate, where the wall would run and how the gates were to be placed
 Evident in all this designing is a sense of great civic responsi- bility, for although the city was to be laid out first of all as mili- tary outpost, every attention was paid to civilian convenience. There were to be wide streets, plenty of air and light, space for people to meet and carry on their business. Though military im- portance was paramount. it did not supersede civilian comfort" Dr Johnson believes that the Romans got their idea for city planning from some older culture, probably the Etruscans. Minturno, he said, was the fourth military outpost to be es- tablished in a program which was started at Rome about 355 B.C. Their plans were thwarted how ever, by the invasions of the Vandals, and subsequent inva- sions of the Lombards and Sara CenS.

 Mayor Bryce Smith and most of the present councilmen have been renominated by the democrats. A republican ticket also is expected to be a factor, though a majority of the local republican committee has pledged support to the fusion movement. Candidates for each post will be narrowed to two at a primary March 6.

WAGE DEMANDS
 CAUSE UNREST
Textile Workers Demand as High as 25%
 Increases


 New Haven, Conn, Feb 22-(PU) Demands of textile workers in eastern Connecticut for wage in- creases as high as 25 per cent caused uneasiness in the industry today.
 While only one strike was in progress, at Somersville, where 400 workers quit Monday, there was a feeling the demands might be fol- lowed up more vigorously after Saturday wheE organization meet ings will be held at several points.
 The Somersville Manufacturing company has refused to increase the wage scale on grounds the ex- isting rates are higher than at most New England plants.
 Other places where demands have been presented for increases include three firms at Stafford Springs; one at Broad Brook, the Glen Woolen Mill company, Nor wich; Middletown Silk company; Edward Bloom Silk company, New Haven, and the Assowaga company at Dayville.
 At Putnam and Rockville com panies reported no petitions had been received.
 At various places in the eastern part of the state union organizers have been busy during the last few weeks and several plants have been unionized. At Manchester the unionization went into effect last Saturday, over mild objections of company officials.
 George Sylvia, general organizer of the United Textile Workers of America, was said to have arranged a speaking tour of textile con- munities but his program has been upset by the storm. Manufacturers were said to look upon the demands as a means of opening negotiations.

Der of permits issued was larger than those given out here.
 Hartford led the state, with a total number of 59 permits and an estimated cost of $47,193. Bridge port came second with IS permits and an estimated cost of $44,6O5. There were nine permits issued here and the estimated cost of the building operations is $14,125. In New Haven IA permits wer issued but the estimated cost is only $10,- 645.
 In all four cities, judging by the number of permits issued and the figures on estimated cost of build ings, it is apparent that all con- struction work is of a minor na- ture. The state as whole fell be- hind many other states of the un- ion. The labor department made its survey in 768 cities of the coun- try having a population of 10000 or over.
 The survey showed that there was an increase of 13.6 per cent in the number of buildings but de- crease of 1924 per cent in the es- timated cost of buildings for which permits were issued during Janu- ary, 1884, as compared with De- cember, 1898. Comparing Janu- ary, 1884, with December, 1883, there was an increase of 9.7 per cent in the number, but a decrease of 39.6 per cent in the estimated cost of new residential buildings and the number of non-residential buildings increased 14.6 per cent and the value of these buildings decreased 24.1 per cent.
 Comparing last month with January of 1893, there was in the country a decrease of 27.6 per cent in the number and decrease of 1894 per cent in the estimated cost of new residential buildings. The new dwellings for which per- mits were issued in January, last, were to provide for 1,19S families, a decrease of 23.4 per cent as com pared with the number provided for in January, 1883.

Caesarian Operation
 Saved Tiny Chow Puppy

Columbus, o. (UP).-Five days before Lady Blue-Jack, thorough bred bule chow dog, was expected to give birth to a litter of puppies, she died on veterinarian's oper- ating table from injuries received when struck by an automobile.
 However, one of her three un- born puppies was saved when pr Carl V. Mckenzie, just eight weeks graduated from Ohio State Univer- sity's College of Veterinary Medi- cine, performed a caesarian section operation. Of the other two pup pies, one was already dead when Dr Mckenzie operated, and the other one was too badly injured to be saved.
 The doctors wife, graduate nurse, although veterinary books don't tell much about what one should do for premature pups, nursed the uninjured tiny chow through a cold which developed soon after the operation and threat ened to prove fatal to him.
