STR0NGPLEAMAOE
FOR LIBRARY SITE
Board of Trade Committee
Cites Need and CostIi-
ness of Delay.

A strong plea for retention in the
1899 District supply bill OF the House
item designating a part of the Mu-
nicipal Center area as site for q
new main Public Library Building, to
be erected later when funds are
available, was presented to the Sen
ate subcommittee handling the meas
ure, yesterday afternoon, by the Pub
lie Library Committee of the Board Of
Trade.
The only money asked for in the
pending bill is 100000 for the prepara-
ton of plans. The subject was pre-
sented by Dorsey w. Hyde. jr.. and
Jesse c. Suter, members of the boards
Library Committee. of which B. M. Nc
Kelway is chairman. In indorsing the
proposal the committee made the fol-
lowing observations:
That We are convinced of the
urgent need of the Public Library for
new main building in order that
the library. may not be blocked in its
efforts to serve our rapidly increasing
population.
Program Is Stalled.
THAT the library is severly handi-
capped, in effect is prohibited, from
going forward with establishment of
more neighborhood branch libraries,
, though many sections need them, un-
til there is an adequate main library
to service such branch libraries.
That the designation of square
49l as a library site will altogether
avoid the immediate raising Of money
for the purchase of a site since the
actual erection Of the building may
go forward gradually as funds be-
come available.
Sees Higher Cost Later.
That failure to use this site Cor
part of iD for main library build
ing will postpone indefinitely relief
for the library and ultimately in
volve large amount for the purchase
OF site, the location of which may
not be nearly so advantageous to the
community.
That the use of square 491 Cor
part thereoD as library site will not
affect the use of reservation 80. also
owned by the District, as site for an
auditorium, for which the Board of
Trade has long been on record.
The Board of Trade strove for
the establishment of the Public Lii
brary, has through the intervening
years always urged increased funds
for library maintenance and extern
sion, The board would deplore a
failure to take this forward step in
library advancement"

BARONS
HERE TONIGHT

With the reSurn Of two old
familiar faces in this weeks cast,
Promoter Joe Turner will stage
the latest edition of the Burp-
ing Barons at his w Street Play
house tonight.
It's directly from Broadway
and just what the main stem re-
viewers have to say about their
performance is not known at
the present. But, somehow, they
always seem to click with the
local faithfuls, and it is ex-
pected that a fairly good sized
audience will be sitting in.
Yvon Robert, who plays the
leading role practically every
time he shows here, will again
have the spotlight focused his
way. The handsome French.
Canadian will, however, enter
the stage playing a co-feature
part with one John Katan, a
countryman of his, but it is more
than likely that before 10 min
utes goes by that Yvon will be
the main attraction all by him.
self. He's the hero, and a good
one at that, while Katan, who,
in two ShowingS the past weeks,
portrayed the william par-excel-
lence, will again be subjected to
such a part, and he can be
counted upon to do his good
bit. but he will not get the
plaudits of the gathering such
as will come Yvon's way.
On a look-in at the rehearsals
it should be a good performance.
and the lesser players will all
lend their best to make 1t a
grand success.
Rudy Dusek, who, due to q re-
cent illness, has been denoted
to a minor role, is returning
after a long absence and will be
assigned to aid the cause along
with Angelo Savoldi. Rudy will
act the part of sergeantat-arms.
and will see to it that Angelo
doesn't make too much of a dis
turbance. Hank Barber and Ed
Meske, two fair-haired boys, are
likely to go back a way and re-
minisce in a football way; Wal
ter Podolak, the strong man, has
been designated to be Chris
ZahariaS' partner, and he may
have to use his cave-man stuff
to make matters agreeable, while
Gino Red" Vagonne, a new.
conner to the cast, and Ed New
man, a pretty fair player at
that, will officially open the five
act melodrama with a series Of
tumbling and groaning bits.
Popular prices will prevail, and
a good nights entertainment is
anticipated, we hope.
The curtain goes up at $50

Radio Concerns
Give Pledges To
Stop Practices
Philco ond Zenith Promise
To Use More Truthful
Advertising

Washington, D. c. ILNS).-The
Philco Radio and Televison Corpora
ton, Of Philadelphia, and the Zenith
Radio Corporation, of Chicago, have
entered into stipulations with the Fed
eral Trade Commission to discontinue
certain representations in the sales of
their products which are declared to
be misleading.
Each company agrees to cease using
or placing in the hands Of retailers or
others for their use, without proper
qualifications, certain advertising mat
ter featuring purported price figure,
either independently or in connection
with a pictorial representation of or
any allusion to a radio, so as to imply
that the set to which such figure re-
fers can be obtained by purchaser
for the price designated, or that the
purchaser can obtain the benefit of
the featured price without additional
cost to him, when such is said not to
be fact.
According to the stipulation, the
advertised radio in each instance was
not ostainable at retail for the fea-
tured price alone, but the purchaser
was required to buy additional equip
ment at extra cost in order to obtain
the benefit Of such price. This fact
was not properly and conspicuously
disclosed in the advertising, according
to the stipulation.

claims filed with the Ohio Industrial
Commission during June were 451 less
than the previous month, while fatali-
ties in industrial mishaps dropped
from 50 to "A.
According to the report of Superin-

is a sharp reduction in number of
claims and fatalities over the same
month of 1897, when 20,50S claims
were filed, including 80 fatalities.
While this reduction in claims and
fatalities is in large measure due to
slack business conditions and de-
creased employment, improved safety

HOMES COST TOO MUCH
FOR LOW-W AGE WORKERS

Home ownership is continually
stressed as being the basic element in
contributing to good citizenship and
love Of country. But the analysis of
reports comprising the thirty-tirst
semi-annual market survey recently
completed by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards indicates that
the cost of homes is still far beyond
the financial ability of the hundreds
of thousands Of workers commonly
classified as the "low-income groups" J"
The reports revealed that new
houses costing less than $4,000 are
practically non-eXistent in three
fourths Of the major cities of the
country and in "a per cent of all cities,
including some in every population
group.
Many cities, the reports revealed,
still have very little to show in homes
costing less than $4,000, but dwellings
in that price class have constituted
nearly one-third Of the single-family
residential units constructed in the
nation this year. Although three out
of every ten Of the nations new homes
built this year have been in this lower
price range, this class Of home was
found to be erected less and less fre-
quently as the size of the reporting
cities increases.
