The English startling first reached
this country in 1870. when a small
flock, imported from England, was
liberated near Worcester, Mass.
Little or nothing was heard from
these birds after being turned loose.
In 1890 another liberation of so
birds took place In Central park,
New York city, to be followed a
year later by 40 more pairs. Ten
years later 100 more were released
near Springfield, Mass. These lib
erations no doubt formed the
foundation stock for the myriads
Of starlings found in practically
every state east of the Mississippi
river.

MO REASONABLY honest OF
" intelligent man can refuse con-
siderable respect to the Christian
church. 1t has always taught NOR
atty with its religious doctrine. In
the home, in the nation, It has been,
} in a way, the custodian of good be-
havior. Parents, especially mothers,
are its sincerest advocates, and
mainly for moral reasons.
But nd intelligent man may hon
sstly say as much Of Communism.
At least, the founder of Christian
ity is called the Prince Of Peace ;
in his book may be. found the moral
teaching found In every other book
of enduring fame. lin 1t is found
the simple admonitiOn to give unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars.
The Bible advises US to do unto
others as we would have others do
unto US. and the advice Is found in
much older book. indicating that
In all times II has been found a de-
pendable and necessary human reg
ulatiOn for the greatest good Of the
greatest number.
But ii Is certainly true that Com
munism Is a doctrine of violence, Of
war; Of defiance OF morality.
In my long life have found moth
ing to substantiate the truth Of the
Christian dogma. but have never
denied that millions OF its followers
are good people. Most OF them only
know Of their doctrine that II

but / have never known a COmmu-
mist Of whom II might be truthfully
said he was an honest man.
The next time you sit down to
your newspaper. note the many men,
tons of policewOmen. actresses
club women. social workers, society
women. and the like. and the few
mentions of women who are good
cooks. Even in private life It Is
almost equal to starting a story"
on woman TO say she Is a
good cook.
One of the hest things to be said
about q woman Is that she is q
good cook: the real scandal Is the
meals that are prepared by the or
binary hired gil.

Hardest-Hit Town
In England Adopted

IONDON.-Surrey, relatively pros

Jarrow-on-Tyne, near Newcastle
which has 10000 inhabitants, Is the
object of Surveys philanthropy. With
IS per cent of its population unem-
ployed. Jarrow is considered tne
country's hardest-hit town.
Surray's plan of adoption has been
worked out by its high sheriff, Sir
John Jarvis, who started his scneme
rolling by posting an appeal 1or
funds to more than $4,000 housenoios'
500 churches and civic organizations
in his county.
Co-operation of other prosperous
counties also is being sought to guar
antee success for the Jarrow expert
ment as well as to extend 1t to other
British black spots" as the distressed
areas are called.
Under the scheme Surveys financial
aid is to be given in a variety OF ways.
Jarrow men will be expected. through
materials provided out of the Surrey
fund, to decorate the homes which
have been neglected during the un-
employment period.
Other funds are to pay Jarrow work.
ers for building a town swimming
pool, a new park, the equipping OF
children's Fairgrounds and the laying

outline story. and what has been done
and planned so far represents only
relief given to explosive pressures.
Housing authorities abound. They
range from plumbers and politicians
to bankers and bricklayers. But from
two sound quarters We may select sta
tistics and estimates which illuminate
the present situation.
Crowded Conditions.
A recent Architects Journal sur
vey shows that one in twenty persons
in Britain still live more than three to
room, and although authorities
differ on just what constitutes a
"slum dwelling" most agree that the
300, 900 figure of the national five-year
plan is a minimum one, and that the
number of dwellings needed to re-
place those actually worn out and un-
fit for human habitation approx
mate 100000.
Then The Economists statisti-
clans, using a mathematic currycomb,
conclude that merely to remove the
evils of overcrowding and lack of

minimum standard and Just keep
pace with decay processes Britain
needs to provide between 100000
and 100000 new houses during the
next two decades. This means 20
years Of building at rather more than
the existing boom" rate. Up to a
year ago the average Britisher would
have regarded the idea of construc-
ton on this level as moonshine. Now
ne is changing his ideas. So are the
| financial and technical men under the
impact of new conceptions, new meth
| DDS and a weight of money coming
into the field.
The younger men Of vision and en-
| terprise-men like Arundel Clarke
and Felix Goldsmith, who are apply
| ing the architectural ideas of tomor-
| row in the Mayfair zone of the capi-
tal-are adapting the ideas Of Cor
busier to modern big city conditions.
They believe the facilities, conven-
| fences and services now characteristic
Of luxury blocks can be brought on
| a mass basis within the reach of the
poorest wage-earning classes. They
have blueprints for a sort of radio city
of the worker class, a vast self-con-
tanned block with its own shops, play
grounds, services. creche and the rest,
and five-room apartments. But be-
fore these conceptions can be realized
costs will need to come down still
| further.
These lower costs will doubtless be
achieved, and the number of home
owners enormously increased thereby
Building societies, now lending more
than $500,00G,000 year to citizens
for home buying. have brought the
new low-coSt houses within the means
of the moderate wage and salary
earning classes. An extension of this
general movement through the appli-
cation of mass production principles
to housing would have the most i'm
portant repercussion throughout the
national economy. 1t would do more
than anything else to cure social un-
rest and insure a new and prolonged
era of prosperity.
In all, it looks as if the British
imagination, which has been not much
more than dormant in the housing
realm for generations, is beginning to
grasp the possibilities and the real
size of the housing problem, and the
potentialities in the economic as well
as the social sense of these compact
little shelters, warmed and lighted,
which men build on the earth's sur
face to contain their private lives and
call home"

Dual Trade Problem
Is Worrying Germany

BERLIN R.-With its right hand
the German government Is striving
to build up its foreign trade and with
its left to develop home industries so
raw materials from abroad will not
be needed.
Self-sufficiency long has been q
German ideal; now, however, Nazi
leaders are trying to decide whether
it's best to lean more heavily on trade
agreements or on plans to produce
needed products like oil and cloth at
home. expensive though 1t may be.
Government economists consider
the problem includes the necessity for

the principle Of "filtering up"-the idea
that the slum dwellers would gradually
move out of their little hells into the
new suburban houses built with the
aid OF the subsidy.
But the slum dwellers obstinately
refused to filter up" There were
three main reasons. One was an in
sufficiency of suitable new houses. A
second was too costly building, putting

was the factor of travelling expense
