HOUSING PLAN
! BACKED BY
| PERKINS

Enactment Of the 876 million
dollar low-rent housing bill in
troduced by Senator Wagner CD
of New York was urged today by
Secretary of Labor Perkins, and
Langdon Post, chairman OF the
new York City Housing AL
t1ority.
restifying before the Senate
Labor Committee, they recon-
n1ended passage of the bill to
provide decent" housing to low
income groups and provide en-
pIoyment in the building trades
and allied industries.
Miss Perkins recommended
that the Federal government un-
dertake to stimulate housing for
persons who can afford to pay
rentals sufficient to make new
housing a profitable venture. and
persons whose needs cannot be
met by privately financed con-
struction.

uhted building program would re-
suit in marked increases in EN-
pIoyment in the manufacture OF
lumber, bricks, pumbling supplies,
heating apparatus and some 20
other industries that must look
I'd builders for their orders.
She further recommended that
a: :housing agency be established
within one of the permanent Fed
eral departments.
post said the construction Of
low-rent housing in New York city
has answered "the argument that
low-rent housing will not reach
the people for whom it Is in
tended"

District Court Thursday why an in

allegedly would permit the railroads
to enter the trucking business with
out complying with regulations i'm
posed upon the rest of the trucking
industry.
Involved in the case Is the So

the tariffs for which would include
charges for motor vehicle transporta-
ton from the consignor to the depot
and from the depot to the consignee,
in addition to the transportation by
rail.
Rates filed by the defendant car
fiers provide for a refund of or 10

The Injunction was asked by the
American Trucking Associations. Inc,

would be irreparably injured if the
proposed rates 60 into effect Novem-
ber 16, as scheduled. The plaintiff
told the court that thousands Of its
members are engaged in interstate
transportation and come under the
regulations provided in the motor car
rier act of 1885.
The plaintiff asked that the de-
fendant carriers be enjoined from
charging the proposed rates, and that
the I. c. c. be ordered to cancel
them.
Because the commission came to
the conclusion, after hearing, that
it was without authority to forbid the
proposed rates, the I. c. c. rescinded
a prior suspension of the schedule,
the trucking organization declared.

So, the greatest actor of his time, and
was buried in a churchyard at Shore
ditch, where in compliance with his
wish, his gravemarker was inscribed
simply, Exit Burbage."
He made Shakespeare famous, but
he is remembered today only because
he acted in Shakespere's plays. His
performances of tall, lean Hamlet,

March 16, 1751-James Madison was

nate occurrence, for Madison is re-
sponsible for the fact that the govern

ever in the matter of religion. He
wrote the religious liberty clause into
the Bill of Rights.
He, the fourth President, was the
first to wear long trousers. He lived
more than 20 years after retiring
from the white House. This year the
nation will observe the centennial
of his death.

parentage, destined to become one OF

There had been no important inn

years when Wood developed a plow
made entirely, except for the beam
and handles, of cast iron, with the
various parts cast separately, so that
any worn out part might be replaced,
BY endlessly carving wood and pota-
toes to get what he thought was the
exact curve, he produced the best

identical with that of a stubble or

to break down the superstition of
farmers that the iron would poison
their soil and to convince them that

Livestock Helps
Provide Food for
Families on Farm


College Station, Raleigh, March 16
Families on small farms, as we'll as
those on large ones, can provide much
of their food supply at low cost by
raising livestock.
Although some kinds of livestock
are not suited to small farms, said
Earl H. Hostetler, professor of ami
NAL husbandry at State College, there
are a number of animals and birds
that can be raised without a great
deal of trouble or expense.
Many families on small tracts get
their milk from a cow or two, eggs
from a small flock of chickens, and
meat from a few hogs.
Poultry, rabbits, hogs, cows, and
sometimes goats, are we'll suited to
conditions on the average small farm
of around three to five acres in area
A good dairy COX, he said, will sup
ply all the milk and cream and about
two-thirds of the butter needed by a
family of five during 10 or II months
of the year.
Eggs, milk, butter, and meat are i'm
portant articles of the diet, PrOfes-
sor Hostetler added, and should be
included with fresh vegetables and
fruit in the farm food supply.
