GARMENT STRIKE
 IS NOT SETTLED

Boston, March 1O--(UP)-Hope of early settlement of the Boston Gar. ment strike faded today with the collapse of negotiations between union officials and representatives of the Associated Dress Manufacturers Association of Boston.
 - A seven-hour conference adjourn ed early today with both factionA admitting that further sessions would be futile. Offlcials of the In- ternational Ladies Garment Work CTS Union said the next step would be to attempt negotiations with in- dividual manufacturers.
 Failure to place responsibility for alleged price-cutting and chiseling was blamed for collapse of nego- tiations with the Manufacturers As- sociation. Manufacturers and job- bers denied responsibility for con- ditions though union officials of fered evidence claiming to show that outside shops would be forced to close if Association members stopped sending them work.

The governments decision to mechanize the cavalry, substituting armored cars and light tanks for steeds, has brought loud walls from old army men who assert that many of the most glorious traditions of Britain's fighting forces will be shattered.
 Cars Steel Plated
 Eight of the nations famous ca- valry regiments will disappear and in their places will be units of steel plated, fast-traveling cars carrying lighting men who once rode proud 1y into battle on horseback, lances tilted and swords flashing.
 The revolutionary change did not come easily. The War Office ar- Eued for several years against the die-hards of the military service before winning them over to the idea that modern means of warfare have out-moded the cavalry.
 Nowadays an army in the field moves rapidly, with 70-mile-an- hour tanks in advance. Fast pro- tective reconnaissance is necessary faster than horse cavalry.
 Started Two Years Ago
 Substitution of gasoline for hay and oats as the mobile fuel of Brit ain's lancers actually began two years ago when two cavalry regi- Inonts were converted into armored car regiments. They were the llth Hussars, known as Prince Albert's Own" with the Duke of York as colonel-in-chief, and the 18th Roy al Lancers whose colonel-in-c chief was the Prince of Wales, now King Edward VIII.
 Many army officers thought the mechanization would stop there, but it was only the start of what one veteran warrior with military in- dignation described in a letter to The Times as downright horse stealing"
 The change-over from horse to motor strips romantic color from several cavalry regiments whose rich tradition extends back 250 years and through dozen or more biteer campaigns.
 Guards Date to 1885
 one of these is the First Kings Dragoon Guards commonly known as the "K.D.G.'s" who date back to 1895 and the days of the Duke of M9nmouth's rebellion. Every Brit ish school-boy has read and recit- cd of its valor in the battle of Sedgemoor and in Flanders under King William. It also served in the battle of Minden and in the Crimea before Sevastopol.
 The Queens Bays or Second Dra- g0cn Guards also organized in 1885 to fight under King William in the Irish and Flanders campaigns. A hundred years later the regiment gained the honor of "The Queens Boys" and every man was mount cd on Q long-tailed bay. It parti-

WELL WATER USED
IN COOLING HOUSES
Supply Is Factor in Giving Air.
Conditioning During
Summer Months.

Wherever q good supply OF well
water Is available. Summer air con-
ditioning Is possible. And it need not
be o very deep well, either. Water at
SIS degrees or even higher will give
good cooling and a certain amount Of
dehumidification.
All that Is necessary Is a well with
sufficient water at low enough tenn
perature, pump, coils, blower. a
duct or two, and an available supply
of electricity, and you can be as
cool as you like. The size and extent
OF the equipment will depend, Of
course. on the size of the house. the
available water supply, the relative
temperature, and-most important
the amount of insulation in the house.
The cost of installation will vary
with the extent of the work required
in drilling the we'll. But under nor
NAL conditions 1t should not be pro-
hibitive even for the average house Of
six or eight rooms. The cost Of oper-
alton, too, should be relatively small
for a reasonable lowering Of tempera-
ture and Standardization.
And the water need not be lost. 1t
is under pressure and may be used for
irrigation or may be sprinkied over
the roof, thus adding much to the
cooling process.

REALTOR ASSERTS
RENT RATIOS Low.
Proportion of Wages Paid
for Housing Declared
Smallest Since 1900.

American families are paying
smaller percentage Of their wages 1or
rent today than they have paid al
any time since the beginning OF the
century, Delbert S. Wenzlick, ST.
Louis realtor, writes in the January
publication of the Society Of Resi-
Dental Appraisers of the press this
week.
Answering the question. How are
people going to pay higher rents when
times are so bad for so many of
them this real-estate analyst points
out that the percentage of wages
that 60 for rent varies between wide
limits.
I'm 1918, which was the high point,
they paid "a per cent of their wages
for rent; in 1918, 81 per cent. and
two years later they were increased
to % per cent. They are 19 per cent
today" he writes.
He paints an optimistic picture of
the next several years in the matter
of income from properties, employ
ment in home building and increas-
ing demand for a whatever housing
space there is.
Undoubtedly, during the next few
years we are going to experience a
constantly increasing construction
volume which will reach its peak
probably in 1910 to 1912. peak that
we have every confidence will exceed
that Of 1926" he toresees. THE de-
mand for skilled labor will be greater
than it was then. The purchasing
power caused by that unemployment
will be greater. The credit imitation
following the demand for new con-
struction will cause a redistribution
Of wealth to equity holders that will
be largely spent for consumable
goods and create demand for every
thing that we use resulting In a
higher standard of living and pc
riod of prosperity such as we have
never seen before"

So you can see either of them from
Virginia to Florida and westward to
the Mississippi and as far north as
Indiana. Reports are that the range
is being extended.
The mother of the caterpillar is a
buxom grayish-brown hawk moth.
The body is large and heavy and the
wings are inches from tip to tip when
spread.
She has little sense Of independ-
ence, and instead Of laying her eggs
as all other proper hawk moth moth
erS do, she places hers in mass forma-
ton. Peep under the leaves and see
what a methodical lady she is. Use
your magnifying glass and see if you
can count the number of future leaf
consumers You could remove the
leaf, take it home and watch the
youngsters step out of their she'll This
would be doing your good turn and
add to your fund of information about
these folks.
Upon Matching, the. small caterpillars
keep close together. Four times the
catalpa hopefuls outgrow their tight
skins, and each time their markings
are different In the South there are
several generations each year. It
would be fun to see if you can become
so expert that you can tell what stage
they are going through.
All is not serene for the cater
pillars. A persistent foe, a four
winged, wasplike insect uses them as
carryalls and food supply for her off,

caterpillar objects to having its body
pierced with sharp needle You can
see how very much by the way the
victim rears its body. What it does
not know Is the dastardly trick that
has been played upon it.
In a short time the eggs that were
inserted when the stabbing took place
hatch. The maggotlike creatures
consume the poor caterpillar and even
cut an exit through its skin. Once
outside, the little pest spins a white

GAIN IT'S Per CENT
New Peak in 1886 Consumption
of Energy Predicted by
Morris L. Cooke.

An increase of approximately ITS
per cent in the number Of American
farms electrified during 1885, COM
pared with the previous year. was an
nounced today by Morris L. Cooke, ad-
ministrator of rural electrification.
Estimates point to a new peak in
rural electrification activity in 1896,
Mr.. Cooke said.
1t is estimated, on the basis of
figures submitted to r. z. A. by the
private utility industry. that in 1885
electric service was extended to ap-
proximately- $4,000 farms, compared
with 30,396 in 1884. This brings the
total of farms having central station
electric service to approximately 827,-
600 out of a total of more than $780, =
900 farms in the country.
THE sharp upswing in rural extern
sions in 1885 is the most encouraging
development In rural electrification in
years" Mr.. Cooke pointed out. 1--WE
