SPEEDY DRIVERS
 GIVEN WARNINGS
Many Stopped Last Night; East Side Club Plans
 Another Dance
EAST END NEWS

Speeding motorists were sur prised last night especially at the intersection of Wolcott and East Main street when Motor Patrolman Charles Caffrey inaugurated a one-man crusade against motorists with intentions of using the new ly paved street as a speedtrack. Since the street has been finished motorists have been coming down East Main street three abreast which handicaps pedestrians in crossing the street. Last night more than a dozen cars were stopped; with a warning that the next time they were caught trying to make East Main street an 'Avon Speedway, they would not be let off so easily. Motor Patrolman Caffrey stated upon questioning that he would continue this cru sade until motorists of the city realize that the city has a speed limit which is 25 miles per hour, and until motorists realize that, he will continue curbing the speed- sters. More than five accidents have taken place already since con- struction work has been completed on the street.

Noel Brailsford. New York: Co.
vici-Friede.
MR.. BRAILSFORD, author and
AA journalist. formerly connected
with the Manchester Guardian, and
Laborite in politics. represents in this
book the English Liberal Socialist
point of view. He sees the temptation
to both fascism and communism in
the present world economic situation,
on the part of those who rush will
ingly into any change when they are
dissatisfied, without considering seri-
ously where the change is likely to
lead them, but for his own part sees
the necessity of neither. Mr.. Brails-
fordS thesis here is that on account
of quarrels over property the world
plunges itself into war-and more war.
THE machine has made poverty an
anachronism." yet poverty Continues,
when there is in existence "the where
withal to fill empty larders and ward
robes with all they lack" He dis
cuSses the problem of economic mud
ding versus economic planning, which
is now becoming hackneyed, without
apparently approaching a solution.
In times of stress democracy must
pass certain tests, says Mr.. Brallsford.
Can it help us to realize our po-
tential wealth? Can it be adapted to
the needs of a society compelled to
carry through a rapid process OF
transformation? Can 1t bring order
to our economic chaoS?" Democracy
goes down when there is no true
peace between nations and when the
class struggle, the wrangle over the
power to distribute a diminishing in
come, becomes intolerably acute" In
these facts are to be found the rea-
sons Of the misfortuneS OF democracy
in Russia, Italy and Germany. A
cvnic is inclined to believe that a
country might be peacefully governed
by any party, any class whatever, II
| only every inhabitant were provided
with all the necessities Of life and
| some of the luxuries. Civil liberty,
in all its forms, probably means less
TO the average man than comfort
able home, three good meals a day
and a low-priced car. To the man
above the average. however, freedom
of speech and of the press mean much
and these have suffered in Russia,
Italy and Germany. Mr.. Brailsford
gives three good reasons for freedom
! Of the press: Firstly. any act of sup
preston. whether against parties or
newspapers, would be a signal for
civil war. Secondly we should our
selves degenerate if We came to fear
/ criticism, even rabid and disingenuous
criticism. Thirdly. suppression grows
! progressively easier" Mr. Brailsford S

conditions are THE War of Steel and
Gold" Socialism for Today" and
How the Soviet Works"

Added to these funds are petty

Technology Press.

THE Technology Press is one of the
latest of the college presses to be
portant publishing field calls for con-
graduation, not only to one of the
foremost educational institutions OF
the country, but to that selective sec
ton of the public to which its volumes
will appeal The college presses per-
form a great service by publishing
works of scholarship in various classi-
fications, which have intensive rather
than extensive value, and are likely
to become leading authorities immedi-
ately on publication. The Evolving
House" series is the first large pub
fishing endeavor of the Technology
Press. exclusive of technical BOOKS.
The first volume, "A History OF the
Home by Mr.. BemiS in collaboration
with John Burchard, I'd, is the story
of the evolution of the home and OF
the social and economic forces which
have influenced its development. The
present volume discusses important
aspects of housing economics and at
tempts to point the way to better
homes at less cost. The third volume
will give an engineering rationaliZa-
ton of house construction and Sug-
sested solution. Mr.. Bemis. a promi-
nent business man, has been a student

perience has included housing in
Great Britain and France following
the World War. industrial housing in
southern textile centers, college dor
mitories and many experimental
houses. He is president of Bemis In
dustries, Inc. and The Housing Co.
The Economics of Shelter" is a
very practical book, exhaustive in de-
tail but never merely theoretical. The
individual may here learn what are
the desiderata for his home. even a
very modest one - the number of
rooms, construction materials, plumb
ing heating, lighting, location as re-
CARDS transportation facilities. He
also learns about costs as they are
and costs as they ought to be if the
problem of housing we're intelligently
handled. He is told how best to go
to work to finance his home. If he is
going to buy; how much his rent ought
to buy in the housing market if he
is going to become a tenant. The ex-
pert advice here given should help
him to secure all the value he is en-
titled to, also not to see only his own
side Of the question and expect every
thing for nothing. The national
value of good housing. recognition of
which has resulted in government in
tervention in housing problems, dis
abilities in the housing industry, the
organization of the building industry
and its relative efficiency, are some
phases of the question which are
broader than the individual. Seventy
five charts. 81 tables and 29 ap-
pendixes supply statistical material,
explanatory and elaborative of the
text. The book is a most valuable
economic study.

Banditry Flourishes
Still i'm ManchukuO

HARBIN, Manchukuo.-B has
always been a recognized profession in
Manchuria, as it is in China proper
This is true no less today since the
founding of the new Manchukuo en-
pire than it was when Marshal Chang
Tso-lin was overlord of these regions
Chang himself often boasted that he
was originally a bandit
In Gen. Honjo's military headquar-
ters in Mukden in 1892 American cor
respondents were frequently shown q
map of Manchuria with the bandit re-
gions distinctly herringboned over it.
Their leaders and the number of men
serving under them were we'll tabulated
though one sometimes questioned how
such fluctuating figures could be SC
accurately arrived at.
Today there is another map, but il
is in the japanese embassy at Hahn
king. The 1892 figures were, roughly
100000 bandits under arms. The 1934
figures have reduced these to about
$4,000, a greater gain being shown
during August and September, which
are the kaoliang months, bandits using
the tall growth of this cornlike crop
as shelter.
