PRESIDENT SENDS
GOODWILL NOTE
Cites Harmonious Relations
With Canada in Message
to Park Ceremony.

Bespeaking the hope that the rela-
tions between this country and Canada
will continue as an example to the
world, President Roosevelt yesterday
sent greetings to the ceremony mark
ing the formal dedication OF Glacier
Waterton international Peace Park in
the Rockies which span the Montana
Alberta boundary line.
The message was presented by Harry
3. Mitchell, president of the Civil
Service Commission, who was instru-
mental in establishing the park. 1t
read:
Please convey to those participating
in the Glacier Waterton International
Peace Park ceremonies my regret that
cannot be present with them on July
4, so that I might personally ex-
press to them my interest in the prof.
ect they have been furthering.
The international relations exist
ing and which have existed for so
many years between the United States
and Canada, are an ever-preSent eW-
dence of the harmony and good will
that may be enjoyed when two peoples
on different sides of national bound
ary are both inclined toward friend
ship and understanding
Therefore the creation of a COM
mon playground covering territory in
both countries is something more than
a gesture toward the ideal. 1t is evil
dence to the world that each of us is
pround of our relations toward the
other; and pledge that it is the sin
cere wish of all the people of both
countries that these pleasant relations
shall continue"
The international peace park had its
origin in a meeting of Rotarians Of
Montana and Alberta in Waterton
Lakes Park, July 4, 1881. and commit
tees were named from both coun-
tries to push the project. In 1882
Congress passed bill to carry the idea
into effect, and similar measure went
through the Canadian Parliament
This year road was built across the
boundary to link the joint park, and
at the ceremonies yesterday marker
was placed there.
Mitchell, Montanan, headed the
United States committee of Rotarians
who worked for the park.

Over u. S.

Great Britain is considerably ahead
of the United States in new housing
construction, according to the current
issue Of News and Opinion, the bulle-
tin Of the Building Trades Employer
Association
The recent report Of the minister
Of health showed 1,406, ,725 homes
completed in England and Wales for
the five-year period up to the end of
1885, the bulletin pointed out. This
total is about four times the >Amri-

ing the Building Trades Employers
Association.
On the basis Of Department Of
Labor statistics for 257 cities during
the five-year period and 800 cities re-
porting during the past three years,
the association estimates that the i've
year record for this country shows the
completion Of 2S3.OOO single family
dwellings, $4,000 two-family houses
and $500 multi-family buildings. In
all Of these houses about 450, 900 are
accommodated, as compared to nearly
10000 for England and Wales.
100000 Homes Since War.
Taking the period since the World
War, from November. 1918, to Septem-
Der 80, 1885. about 3,000,0 900 homes
have been added in Britain" the bull
letin points out. I'm the United States
during that period about the same
number Of houses for one and two
families have been provided, plus
multi-family accommodations for
about 1,500,0 900 families.
"Considering the relative popula-
tions Of Great Britain and the United
States, it would seem that England
has accomplished more in housing
since the war than we have. In the
six-month period ending March 81.
1886, England has added 174,609
houses, the largest number ever built
in half q year. This rate Is now being
maintained.
ut is generally assumed that State
aid has been responsible in a large
measure for England's intensive hous-
ing effort. The figures, however, Of
the minister Of public health do not so
indicate, for, Of the total Of 1,500, 900

There is great deal Of property in
our cities which Is not in proper con-

half of our so-called tenement ac-
commodation Is fit only for destruc-

'aThe other half Is sound, and by
the thoughtful expenditure Of reason

I'm all the above figures In England,
the tabulations represent houses only
and not families provided. In this
connection 1t Is worthy Of note that
an overwhelming proportion Of the
houses built since the war, both
through subsidy and by private capt.

the cottage type, usually two-story
group houses. In many cases two
families occupy Q house, which would

"The reliance which Government

The traditional blessing by the Pope

ORIGIN OF ODD PRICES

We are so accustomed to articles in
stores priced at SO cents, $1.49, and other
odd-penny amounts that few persons give
any thought to what once was considered
a freakish idea of price-making.
But G. H. Cilley, well-known store
advertising manager, tells in recent ar
ticle that the custom arose from the solu-
ton of a very practical problem by a
shrewd merchant.
When Captain Roland II. Macy got
tired of sailing the briny deep as sea cap
tain and started store in New York, there
were no cash registers or other means for
checking up his clerks. Money received
for purchases was put in an old-fashioned
cash drawer which made no records, and
the practice of "knocking down." a
euphemism for plain stealing by clerks,
was quite prevalent.
Macy changed all prices to odd-cent
amounts, established cashiers to make the
required change, and kept close watch
on the cashiers. His advertisements of
these odd prices seemed to strike the pub
lie eye favorably, and he got great re-
pedient to keep from being robbed de
veloped into a potent psychological appeal
to his customers
Thus the odd-price has survived many
years after the original reason for its
adoption ceased to exist
