WORLD PROGRESS
SESSION PLANNED
General Motors Head In.
vites Scientist to Dinner.
for Discussion.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 19.-Has the world
reached the end Of q blind alley OF
progress, or is 1t just beginning to
climb toward ever higher standards
Of living?
Alfred p. Sloan, jr.. president Of
General Motors Corporation, asks the
question.
To answer it, he issued invitations
today to representative leaders OF
science and industry to attend din
ner here next Friday evening at
which several noted men will pre-
view the future of their especial
fields. The speakers include such
men as DR.. Arthur Compton, physi-
cist and Nobel Prize winner; Glenn
Frank, president Of the University OF
Wisconsin; Carl Gray, president Of
the Union Pacific Railroad, and
Charles F. Kettering. research vice
president of General Motors.
For some time past" said Sloan
in his invitation, II have been con-
cerned with the thinking of many
who believe that our progress in this
world is finished; that we must retro
gress; that there are no worthwhile
possibilities ahead; that We must live
merely by dividing up available jobs,
and that we must accept a lower
standard of living.
"Contrariwise, many believe that
the amount of available work can be
continually expanded, that progress
sively higher standards of living will
result through broadening the activi-
ties Of industry by developments Of
science and industrial research.
In my judgment this question is
exceedingly important at this time on
account of its influence in the de-
termination of many of our national
economic policies vitality affecting the
future OF us ALL"
He proposed Fridays dinner con-
ference, on the eve of the reopening
of q Century of Progress Exposition,
to present "a representative and
authoritative viewpoint" which, Sloan
said, he believes will show that in
dustry is ION the threshold of great
achievements"

SPURRED BY REPEAL
W. C. T. U. Cites Figures to Show
Pre-Prohibition Records Are
Broken.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
EVANSTON, ILL.,, May ia sur
vey of America since repeal of prohi-
bition, the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union an
nounced tonight has shown star
ting increases in drunkenness"
The w. c. T. u, in today's issue
of its Union Signal, said it had
gone to court records around the
country for signs of the effect of
repeal, and had found in most places
an increase in "unmistakable drunk
enness," breaking even pre-prohibi-
ton records.
Tabulated figures showing increases
as compared with early months of
1888 were given as follows: New
York City, 55.5 per cent: st. Louis,
23.5; Los Angeles, 95.5; Minneapolis,
1872; Boston, 21.4; Denver, 1855;
Portland, Greg, 1853; Duluth, 69.4;
Worcester, Mass, 54, and the town of
Roswell, N. Mex, tailed 149 reported
cases of intoxication during 1888
against So in 1882.
The increase in drunkenness in
Cincinnati" the w. c. T. U. said,
"since the first of the year has
caused the city officials grave con-
cern, according to press reports. The
records show that the city hospitals
admitted 218 patients suffering from
alcoholism during January and
February Of 1884, as compared with
12G such cases during the same
period last year.
"A most incredible increase in
drunkenness Is shown in the figures
from Philadelphia. Beginning with
the Christmas holidays following
repeal, when arrests mounted more
than 1000 per cent over the same
period of the preceding year, the in
crease in intoxication continues to
break even prohibition records" I"

A petition to collect signatures

United States congress by Con-

here this week.

Congressman Monaghan at Wash

signers "pledge ourselves and our
moral support to the furtherance
of your old age pension bill intro
duced in 1888. And we respectful
ly submit that you make the age
limit as low as possible and the
monthly payments as large as pos
sible in order to create a suitable
revolving fund"

coverings, wallpaper or paint, and
an expansion of the electrical sys-

moval of old ones often adds to the
utility of a house. If additional
closets are needed, they may be
built in corners. A large, unused
closet may be transformed into a
bathroom, bedroom, sewing room

be we'll utilized.
Examine Plumbing
Kitchens and bathrooms need
particular attention, especially
with regard to plumbing and con-
venience. Obsolete fixtures should
be replaced with modern sanitary
ones. The floors and walls may
be done over to harmonic with
the new fixtures. The kitchen
might offer greater convenience
if arranged differently. A big
kitchen, awkwardly planned, may
be made much more compact anC

space were given over to a break

wall space covered with shelves
and cupboards. Additional win

There are few houses that can
not be improved through some al
teration or repair job. The ave-
rage house could be made much
more livable by certain changes. In
many cases, serious damage can
be averted only by immediate re-
pairing.
The mere removal of ginger
bread often gives an entirely new
appearance to an old house. A
slight alteration in the roof line, a
new and more effective chimney,
an old porch converted into a con-
servatory, or a new wing to pro-
vide additional space, is often all
that is necessary to give the home
a modernized appearance.
Check Roof Metal
When the roof covering, flash
ings, cutters or downspouts fail

suits. They should be checked be-
fore winter weather makes ardu-
Gus demands upon them.
Insulation of side walls and ROOT
might also be done at this time
Windows and doors should b.
weather-stripped for added com
fort and fuel economy, and ineffic
lent windows and doors repaired
or replaced. Easement window
or French doors may add great,
to the aspect of both exterior AM
interior. Shutters often improv
the appearance of the exterior.

freezing weather. Some walls may
be greatly improved with a new
siding of clapboard, shingles or
masonry. Any cracks in masonry
side walls or foundations should
be sealed, and the foundations
made termite-proof with concrete
or metal.
Repair Porches
Repairs to porch floors, columns,
ratings, steps and supports will
minimize the danger of personal
injury and add to the exterior ap-
pearance. If the porch is out-of-
date, it may be altered, converted
into a room or removed. If mad
equate, it may be enlarged.
Partitions, preferably of fire
