Is headed back to the Clothier
properties on Lisianski Inlet at the
Apex Ell Nido mine.
Clothier said that further de-

awaits new parts for the shattered
compressor that broke several days

from New York as the machine in
volved cannot be duplicated in any
part of the Pacific Coast
The well-known mining men will
probably leave for Lisianski tomor-

United States, is dead. He was in
his 85th year.
More widely known perhaps for
his editorial and literary work, Ro-
bert Underwood Johnson led an &C
tive life in many lines of endeavor.
The success he attained in each of
these was sufficient to lift him
above the general class of promin-
ent persons of his day
During the years he was editor of
the Century Magazine the policies
he formulated for that publication
were designed to promote general
warfare, and in later years a num-
Der of them brought him honors in
Guiding decorations from several
foreign governments.
Peace Arbitration
He was strong advocate of peace
and arbitration and the union of
Christian effort; stood for the ma
tional spirit as against all forms of
sectionalism and vigorously opposed
lawlessness carried on under the
guise of support for various move
ments. Copyright reform and for
est conservation were subjects to
which he devoted much time and in
which he attained the objects for
which he worked.
Opposed Central Powers
From the beginning of the World
War, DR.. johnson was outspoken
in his attitude against the Central
Powers and during the war pub
lished many poems in praise OF the
different countries grouped in the
Allies and in appreciation of the
entry of the United States into the
conflict. He had displayed especial
interest in Italy and the people OF
that country and after the war his
appointment as American ambas-
sador to Rome was received with
general satisfaction throug out
Italy.

Seriousness Must Be Part
Played by Tenants of New
Government Housing Scheme
BY PRESTON GROVER
Second of two articles on the
Greenbelt Colony.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-If papa
is Joiner" and likes to spend
four evenings a week at the Elks
Club and a fifth at a meeting OF
colder boys" he may have trouble
getting his family into one of the
suburban resettlement projects such
as the one now opening near Wash
ington
Previously we mentioned the Re-
settlement administration search
ing examination into the private
lives of prospective tenants of the
three suburban projects inaugural
ed by Rex Tugwell before he left
the government to work for sugar
company.
This bit will give an idea of the
sort of communities the Resettle-
ment Administration tnow part of
the Farm administration hopes to
build up.
Greenbelt, IL miles out of Wash
ington, is now receiving tenants and
will be a pattern for the other two,
which are 10 per cent complete
and will become a haven to rent
ridden residents of Cincinnati and
Milwaukee in a few months.
INCOME LIMITS
OF course the Government has
had to substitute the dwellings. OF
the total cost of $14,227 900 for
Greenbelt, $500 900 was charged off
to work relief, land reserve and 9TH
er items. The result is that the
Government can offer rental rates
that curl the hair of local landlords.
For instance, a four room house at
Greenbelt, including electric refrig-
orator, range and bathroom CAD
gets, will be turned over to man,
wife and child for 500 to $31 a
month.
In Washington the same place
would cost at least three times that
amount. OF course, he explained
yesterday, there is hitch, for the
family to occupy the house must
fall within certain income limits.
If the income is less than 1000 a
year, Greenbelt doesn't want the
family Afterall, the rent must be
paid and the place can't be turned
into a charitable institution If
the income is more than 81 300, it
is too much, and the family must
be content with one room and bath
at $50 in Washington.
Some folks always saw an aura
of Communism around Tugwell, SO
the present Administration is care
full to explain that while it is seek
ing to help the lowly, it is certainly
not hankering for hive of Com
munism. 1t wants good-intentioned
families who will hold their jobs,
pay their bills, keep their children
clean and swat flies.
