Orders Continuing
WPA Work Issued
Only Cessation Is Where
Materials Are Needed

ASHEVILLE, July 1.-Orders
to continue work on all WPA
projects where it was not neces-
sary to Immediately purchase ma.
terials were received yesterday by
w. f. Breese, 9Th district WPA
administrator, from state head
quarters at Raleigh. The WPA
fiscal year ended last night.
Mr.. Breese was informed in a
telegram that an additional $144,-
600 had been placed to the credit
of the district and that it was
"part" of the July allotment.
Only a few projects over the
district will be forced to shut
down today, according to Mr..
Breese. 1t was his expectation
that work on them could be begun
again in a short time.
The WPA, Mr.. Breese, said, is
now employing approximately g.
900 persons in the 13 Western
North Carolina counties in the
district. At one time it had near
ly 5000 at work.
Many formerly cared for by the
WPA have obtained seasonal en-
ployment, others prefer to tend
their gardens and do odd jobs,
and some have secured permanent
private employment.
With the return Of the winter
months, however, it is probable
that the WPA rolls again will rise.
At least such has been the trend
during the past three winters.

Iowa. Commune
Proves Failure;
Goes Capitalstic
Only True Group Of Com
munists in Nation Civ
ing up Ideals
BY LEONARD CASTLE

AMES, Ia, July 1.-(UP)-
Several hundred members of
Iowa's seven Amanite colonies,
only true communistic group in
the nation, slowly are loosening
the iron grip of tradition and CIV
ing way to a modified capitalistic
mode of life.
The black-bonneted women of
the colonies were confronted last
night with new problems of home
management. For the first time
since the original colonists came
here from Germany late in the
last century, the women are pre-
pairing their meals in their own
homes. This change is one of the
first steps in breaking up the Gus
toms that have made the Amana
colonies almost self-sustaining.
Until the village rulers decided
home-life would be better served
and perpetuated by returning to
the family dinner-table, the col
onists had eaten in a large ban
ouet hall and the meals have been
prepared in large kitchens by the
! women.
Women in five of the seven
colonies are now studying 9
course in the business side OF
home-making un d er Florence
Schuerman, home demonstration
agent, and a more extensive Sc.
ries of courses in the study OF
family nutrition is being planned
next fall.
Young people of the settle
ments, many of whom have at
tended the University of Iowa anc
Iowa State college, are largely re-
sponsible for the changes.
They rebelled against the PLAIN
homespun black dresses and bon
nets of their mothers, and the
blue denim overalls of their ia,
theirs. They also relaxed the strict
! religious ideals of their parents
which decreed they must attend
church twice a day, every day OF
the year.
Money, which in years past was
rarely seen or used, is beginning
to take its place in the economic
scheme. Until recently, each colo
mist took his produce to the COM
mon storehouse, where it either
was redistributed to serve the in
dividual needs of the families, OF
exchanged for outside merchan-
disc. Money was of little use.
Now the goods still are brought
to the community store house but
are sold for cash and the money
parcelled out to the families. In
effect, each person is working on
a salary.
The Amanites came to Iowa
from Germany before the turn OF
the century, determined to estab'
lish their own plan of life in q
free country, through the years
they kept largely to themselves
operating their own schools, gov

pointed member of the Federal
Reserve board, and Aubrey Will
liams, deputy WPA administrator.
Insisting that the drouth is
growing worse as it spreads over
adjoining states, Wallace said an
other three weeks of dry weather
in the corn belt would necessitate
expenditure of at least S3O,0OO,-
600 for the handling of cattle
alone. He declined to estimate the
ultimate cost of the scourge but
pointed out that in 1884 the gov
eminent called for and received
from congress an appropriation
of $50O,OOO,000 to aid sufferers.
President Roosevelt conceded
the seriousness of the situation at
his press conference. He said re-
ports to federal bureaus indicated
an almost complete failure of
crops in certain sections of North
Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and
ruined crops in northern Tennes-
see, southern Kentucky, eastern
Oklahoma and western Arkansas.
The situation now affects be-
tween $4,000 to 100000 families,
the president said, adding that he
was keeping in close touch with
all developments.
Wallace appeared worried earli-
er in the day about availability of
money to finance aid to drouth
victims but Mr.. Roosevelt said it
would be obtained. He pointed
out that in addition surplus COM
modify corporation funds could
be used for the purchase and pro-
cessing of livestock for use in re-
lief work as was done before.

He was protesting volubly at

Thursday, July 30th, 1896.

late last week, at which time sew
eral safety measures were under
discussion. The most interesting
part of the meeting, however, was
a resume of the work accomplished
this year, and while the Safety
Council does not wish to take any
undue credit, still 1t appears quite
evident that 1t is entitled to most,
IL not all, of the credit for the in
stallation of the electric warning
sign at Third and Main Streets,
and also the safety signals now be-
ing installed upon the Great Nor
thern and Northern Pacific rail-
road crossings upon the paved
highway in the western part of the
city.
With the completion of these
two railway signs there will have
been expended sum Of several
thousand dollars, enough to dupli-
cate one of the sizable local brick
store buildings. It is hard to realize
that these signs cost so much, and
still the expenditure of many times
this sum would not equal the value
of the lives already lost on these
crossings. 1t is almost certain that
these excellent railway signs will
cut down mortality at these cross
ings, and one life saved, or one
serious accident averted, will GER
tainly justify the expenditure. Both
the railway signs and the addition
al sign or warning at Third and
Main are projects which were TAX
en- up by the Safety Council last
January. The latter sign was not
contemplated at that time but the
Council put it up to the State High
way Department to make some
change at Third and Main which
would cut down speed and render
the corner safer. That it has been
a dangerous crossing is admitted
by all who have been familiar with
the traffic at that point. 1t Is very
fortunate that no serious accident
has occurred at that point for
years. The flasher is very effective,
in fact it is readily discernible
many blocks away in every direc-
ton, even in bright day light.
The Council feels that its ac-
complishments on the above mat
ters have been full justification
for its existence.-Contr.
