Make the children welcome as well as healthy. Parents should, of course, do their share towards taming the .wild young things, and keeping them from cracking nuts with a hammer oa the porcelain bath fixtures. ... J,. It isn t to be expected that the hotels will ever welcome children hotels are no places for children anyway; but just as soon as possible American landlords should be offering houses and apartments without restricting the occupants to those of voting age or over. Let's build to keep the families together ; we are not ready for the soviet plan of raising the children and the hogs and cattle and chickens in a public yard at the general expense of the government. PARIS, July 7. Gradual improvement in France's coal production, shown in figures brought out in the Chamber of Deputies, is giving comfort to economists, but is not counted upon to relieve the chilliness of homes or markedly affect factories for some time. The mines dam aged by the German invasion are slowly being put in shape and it is expected that they will produce 250,000 tons monthly by the end of the year, if all goes well. This would be half of pre-war production. It was admitted the normal rate would not be reached for some years. Difficulties in pumping out flooded mines and repairing dynamited shafts have proved the chief obstacles. Orders for machinery are accepted only for de--livery in from four months to four years. Belgian firms finally have been engaged to aid in the reconstruction work after negotiations with Germans failed. An Hawaiian irrigation project, when completed, will penetrate five mountain ranges and deliver 50,000,000 gallons of water daily to plantations. GALLOWS FINALLY : V "v CLAIMS.

At least 25 Prot- FARM BUREAU FEDERATION MEETING IN CHICAGO (By The Associated Press.) CHICAGO, July 23 The farm bureau federation, comprising a membership of stant ministers are reported to have died t J'iJU'"w 1,1 states, opeiie.l a two day of starvation in England last year, an.l f ,'onferem'e to,,av 'onsider the advis- the parsons have now formed the Na tional Clerical Union for "establishment of a minimum living wage for the cler gy." While it is announced the union will follow the trend of trade unionism, the clergymen have declared they have no intention to strike to enforce their drmands. They will seek not only to establish a minimum wage, but also deal with provis ions for adequate retiring pensions, and pensions for widows and orphan of clergymen. fiev. C. H. Lloyd Evans, acting secre tary of the new movement, said few of the "inferior clergymen" earned more than 300 pounds a year and a great many earned less. The union will seek to en list the sympathy of the public ability of establishing one great fanner's grain market, where the products of the farm may be sold direct to the manufac turer or consumer. Speakers declared that grain brokers now charge the farmers $30,000,000 each year for handling their crops. Preliminary to today's meeting the jpeneral board of the National Board of Farmers Organizations met and plans were laid for raising a $1,500,000 fund for erecting the "temple of agriculture" at Washington. Several British merchant slnps are using a form of range finder., originally intended for military purposes, as an aid to navigation by employing it to deter mine distances from land. THE HOUSING PROBLEM A PERPLEXING ONE. The following from a Florida paper is of especial interest to women, who are affected in a peculiar way by the various housing problems. The article deals with the difficulty of families with chil dren securing homes. A recent visitor in Gastonia writes from a near by town that neither house nor rooms ean be found for a couple with children. She was com pelled to place her one littlo son with a friend until fall, when she will enter him in a school for small boys. By do ing this she was able to secure three rooms for light housekeeping. A mother of two small children says in the city iu which she lives neither houses nor boarding houses are available for families with small children. In the boarding house in which she lives are quite a number of parents who place their small children in a convenient boarding school in order to secure a place to live. The Florida paper comments as fol lows : A news story, coming out of Missouri, tells of the activities of a man, living in St. Joseph, who is building houses to rent to families with children. The idea is so unusual that the story is go ing the rounds of the newspapers, and the favorable comment would please the originator of the plan if he could see the way in which the editors are talk ing of him. We are going to add our word of praise to the project and hope that there will be some builders and owners in Florida to follow the good ex ample. The builder who advertises premises to rent to families "with children," is likely to know in advance that his profits are to be cut down by repairs. He can not expect to get any higher rates on account of the innovation he can ex pect to have larger bills for repairs and greater deterioration to the property. No wonder the story is passed around and commented upon. . Families with young children find great lifliculty in securing comfortable quarters in most cities and in many towns. The house and apartment builders do not ap pear to remember that the younger gen eration is an important factor in the economy of the country. They build for grown nps exclusively and decorate and tint and furnish un the niacin .in lelight the eye of the artist and fail to plan against the ' attacks of Young America . It would seem perfectly easy for plans to l made that- would make for struc ture less ornamental yet not unsightly. Strength and endurance could be consid ered, rather than too much that is fragile, and then say "come on, ye parents and those with big families of youngsters. Here's a place to make a home and it is strong enough to resist the boy with the tool chest, or the stair rail eliding propensities of the twins." America is the home of families, the i I V 8 i Let One it a 8 v V I I I BRUNSWICK Convince-.
