The old cash register I hear.
It brings new rhythm to my ear.
It's chattering overwhelms the rhyme
Of pigs who squealed at feeding time;
The "giddap" ti1at would send the hoss
Flowing the fertile field across.
That old cash register will stand
A soloist that beats the band.

At the same time, IckeS called

Cheap rents in the new apart

basing rentals on only SIS per cent
of the cost of projects, IckeS ex.
planned.
The Government has decided to
make an outright gift of the first

rentals will then be calculated on
3 per cent of the remaining SIS
per cent-representing interest on
a mythical mortgage-plus amor
tization Of the SIS per cent over a

and operation.

WHITE HOUSE
SERVANTS TO
GET CHAIRS

In all the White House, with
it's hundreds of chairs, the cooks
and the buffers and the kitchen
help for years haven't had a
place to sit down when they had
a half-hour off.
Mrs. Roosevelt made this dis
covery, she revealed today, when
plans were in the formative state
for the remodeling Of the lower
part of the White House now in
progress.
Up to the present, she said, the
various members Of the kitchen
staff hung their clothes on any
hook they could find-any place
they could find one.
"TOOk Turns" at Table
There was one small dining
room in the entire basement for
the kitchen sstaff-and that room
just had enough room for a table
and the chairs. And sometimes.
the help had to eat in double
shifts, Mrs. Roosevelt said, add.
ing:
II was amazed to find that in
the entire basement there was no
place where, If a man or woman
had a half hour off, he or she
could sit down."
Now there will be locker rooms
with lockers that really loci"
and a room with chairs and a
table and magazines and books,
where the help my relax.
Mrs. Roosevelt stated 1t is her
belief that Governors houses and
particularly the White House
should set an example in provid-
ing decent living conditions for
the members of their households.
Repairs Were Necessary
She also declared that the re-
pairs now being made were or
dered not because anybody
wanted them but because they
were an absolute necessity"
The wiring has been declared
to be unsafe, she said, and was
frequently patched up, but always
the matter of putting in a good
system of wiring was put off be-
cause it was felt to "be such a
terrible job" Now the current
has been changed from direct to
alternating.
In addition, Mrs. Roosevelt
said, while the wiring changes
were made, it was discovered that
the pipes for the plumbing were
rusted and clogged up.

lcollegiate subjects in education
such as any school teacher must
to obtain a teaching certificate.
The majority Of So-called teach
ers have been trained in the old
school, and accept such state
ments with reservations that hide
behind the general term Of
foundation" They cannot seem
to catch the idea that "founda-
ton" will be acquired much
faster and certainly in a more
enjoyable manner by applying
the common sense methods Of
modern education as applied to
music education.
For the sake of the happiness
of thousands of the younger gen.
Grafton of Washington, for their
better enjoyment Of music, for
their better physical and nervous
condition, we sincerely hope that

/. HIDES WHILE
SHOES RISE

CHICAGO, Oct. 80 U.sJ
When the Government started
buying drought cattle and having
them canned for the unemployed
the packers we're at first allowed
to retain the hides.
Then, later, the contract was
changed to give the Government
ownership of the hides.
Under this scheme some 1000,
900 hides and skins were accumu
. lated, and promptly stored in ware
, houses where they still repoSe and
are deteriorating daily.
Expert leather men are agreed
that at the present rate of spoil
age these hides will become prac
tically worthless in a comparative
1y short time, resulting not only in
, q loss of many millions of dollars
to the Government but in adding
through scarcity, to the workers
living costs more than $100, 900 ,000
without a corresponding increase
in wages.
Prices Must Go Up
This picture, according to the
trade, is an Illuminating example
of how the professional formula
of creating prosperity out Of
scarcity works in practical opera
ton.
If these hides should be re-
leased at once and before they
are spoiled the manufacturers,
despite other mounting taxes on
every side, probably could get
through the winter without being
forced to mark up the low-priced
shoes. Otherwise, the price will
go up if present payrollS are to
be maintained.
There is considerable specula-
tion as to the theory on which
the Government is helping to
'bull" the hide market. One
explanation is that indirectly this
will further aid the stock raisers
in keeping up the price Of pro-
ceSsed meat.
This, according to shoe men,
Is a proved fallacy. The price
of meat, they say, has nothing
at all to do with the price of
leather, which is determined
solely by the demand for shoes
and the supply Of hides. The
market price for fat steers might
be very low and the price Of
shoes at the same time increase
due to a shortage of hides.
Trade Distressed
What is distressing the trade,
1t was learned today, is that
with a constantly increasing
price of leather, the Government
still holds on to the 100000
hides. ~
Since September /, 1898, the
price of packer heavies has al
most doubled. The quotation
was then IL CENTS A POUND.
Today the quotation is % CENTS
A POUND. And yet the Govern
ment, the shoe men point out,
keeps the paddock on its 100000
hides.
Last year approximately $685.
100000 pairs of shoes were
marketed in the United States.
With an increase of so cents a
pair in the retail price the total
boost to the ultimate con-
Sumer" in the medium priced
class alone, it is estimated, would
be between $110,000,0O0 and
$150,OOO,OOO.
