UNREST TEARS AT HEART OF BRITAIN

By MARY HENKE. LONDON, Nov. 2. The war has been ended a year and in that time England has made almost no visible progress toward settling its many problems of readjustment. The nation stands almost where it did when the armistice was signed last November. The delay in action which has been most criticized is that relating to hous- j ing. Almost no houses have been built during the last year and the demand for homes has increased daily. The situation has become so desperate that returned service men have found themselves in many cases unable to house themselves and their families. Labor candidates made the housing situation their main Issue in the London municipal elections, and it was shown to have a strong effect on the votes cast. The vascillating attitude toward the use of wooden houses is partially responsible for the small amount of building. Sufficient wooden houses could have ben imported from America to solve the problem it is claimed, but instead such a proposal is still only in the state of argument. The government has been spending a great deal of money this year, but as yet, no means has been devised for making up the deficit. Higher taxation and prize bonds, and even a national lottery, which would give the Englishman his opportunity of indulging In a "sporting chance" have been proposed, but nothing has been acted upon. In the recent debate in parliament on the financial situation, Lloyd George and the finance ministers succeeded in convincing the public that the situation was not quite so black as it was painted last August, but the fact stands that . there has been waste in government expenditures and that little has been done to check it. Soldiers Slighted. The care of returned service men has been imperfect. While many busformer employes into service, there remains a great army of ex-soldiers who went into the army as untrained youths, and are coming out without a job or a trade. The unemployment problem promises to be serious this winter, with more men being discharged from the service daily. Many industries seem to have found readjustment difficult and are taking a long time to get back to their old production output. French automobile factories are getting back to a prewar basis much more rapidly than the English. The latter are running out only a small proportion of the cars in demand, and the prices of these are mounting monthly, putting the automobiles almost beyond the reach of the average purchaser. The labor situation, which just now seems less serious than it does in the United States is only temporarily setiled and promises still further difficulties. There is the demand for nationalization of miners still pending and the settlement with the railroad men is only tentative. One question, that of the "open shop" which has been the cause of so much labor difficulty in America, does not have to be met with here. Trade unions and collective bargaining have long been recognized by British employers, and the main source of labor agitation here has been the wage increase and hour questions. The employment of wom en has usually been a sore point with the British workingman. He is willing that woman have political rights, but when it comes to admitting her 1o industry, even in a capacity in which she is peculiarly fitted, he enters strong and if occasion demands, drastice opposition. U. S. is Feared. The trade prosperity of the United States and the comparative ease with which the country is recovering from the effects of the war are closely watched by the British press and public. The shipping enterprises of America receive especial attention, and an Englishman who recently returned from the state declared that England could easily compete with America in trade, pointing that American shippers spent three times as much to fit up a tramp steamer as a British company did. It is recognized that the United States will have the edge on European nations for some time to come, because of its ready wealth, and there are sometimes individual expressions of envy in contrasting the position of England and the United States. The general tone, however, of both press and public, is very friendly to America and appreciative of the military and financial service the nation has rendered. FRANCE MAY COLLECT LETTERS FROM BATTLE FRONT (By Associated Press) PARIS, Nov. 24. The state is asked, in a bill that has been introduced in ihe French senate, to collect some of the most striking letters written by French soldiers during the war. The purpose is to form a permanent record of every part of the battle-front and every phase of the fighting. The minute a stout figure is properly fitted in a "YOUTHLINE" Reduso Corset, that minute it Is a different figure; a thinner woman a younger woman a lighter appearing woman, and more than all a SATISFIED woman. "YOUTHLINE" Reduso cor sets accomplish all this; a different silhouette is shown; Do tightness; no pressure but comfortable, stylish corsets, at a most moderate price.

Allied Command to Settle Disputes With R. R. Men (By Associated Press) COBLENZ, Nov. 24 The Allied High Command has modified the regulations controlling German railroad employes in the occupied territory in an effort to restore satisfactory relations between the military and civil authorities and the railroad employes. A general strike was threatened last week on the railroads and there were labor disturbances in the Saar basin, in the Palatinate and in the region of Trier. Under the new rules uniformed agents of the civil service and railroad employes will not be required to salute allied officers. Railroad employes may organize committees of workmen and employes as provided by the German law of Jan. 18, 1919. Representatives of the railway workmen will be received by the Inter-Allied Railway commission from time to time for the discussion of any misunderstandings. The High command also agreed to study the coal and food situation as affecting the railroad men with a view of relieving the high cost of living.

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS CAUSES SHORTAGE OF CARS IN MEXICO By Associated Press) HOUSTON, Tex., Nev. 24. Railroads of Mexico are unable to handle the increased business brought on by the recent harvesting of large crops and a general revival of business, according to Senor Freddrico J. De Moyas, assistant director general of Mexican railroads, here recently on official business. "Were the transportation facilities doubles," said Senor de Moyas, "they still would be adequate to meet the increased demands. We have been unable to obtain parts and rails and rolling stock to put the roads in serviceable condition; however, 90 per cent of the employes now are at work in the shops and trackage department, where heretofore fifty to sixty per cent were employed, and In a short time we expect to be working at full c&pscity." While in the United States, Senor De Moyas will negotiate for through sleeping-car service from St. Louis and other cities in this county to Mexico City. EIGHTEEN THOUGHT TO HAVE LOST LIVES IN SUPERIOR i SATJLT STE. MARIE, Mich., Nov. 24. Eighteen persons, comprising the : crew of the steamer Myron, are be- j lieved today to have been added to the victims of Lake Superior's fury of the past two weeks. Caught in a terrific northwester, the Myron found-: ered a mile and a half off Whiteftsh : Point last night and early today sank t in four fathoms of water. Futile efforts were made by two I steamers to throw lirs to the men ; clinging to the cabin. So wild was the sea, however, that the men could not hold the lines, and for their own safety, the two steamers were compelled , to leave the scene. I MOSLEM HEAD APPROVES AMERICA'S "DRY" LAW (By Associated Press') CONSTANTINOPLE, Saturday. Nor. 15. Gratification over the amendment to the United States constitution forbidding the sale of liquor was expressed by Abraham Effendi, Sihek-Ul-Islam spiritual head of the Moslem church, in a conversation with the correspondent today. 'Drink is the mother of all evil," he said, "and no abstention from it wrought our downfall. I am delighted to observe that America is realizing God's command as Epoken to our prophet. It is stransfe that after thirteen and a half centuries a new nation should adopt prohibition, while w whose prophet commanded it. should again begin an effort to enforce abstinance." "BUCKHORN" COLLECTION OF HORNS SENT TO CUBA SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 24 A collection of horns that for many years preceeding the prohibition era decorated the walls of a prominent San Antonio saloon, has been packed in preparation for shipment to Cuba, where they are again to be displayed on the walls of a saloon. The collection Is valued at $90,000. The display includes the head and horns of a Kadu (African Antelope), which were presented to W. H. Keilman, owner of j the collection, by the late Colonel Roosevelt, after his African hunt. TRUNK, WITH $35 000 WORTH OF JEWELRY, DISAPPEARS (By Associated Press) TOPEKA, Kans., Nov. 24.

JAPAN TO MAKE NEW EFFORTS AGAINST REDS

(By Associated JVess) TOKIO. Thursday, Nov. 20. The opinion is growing in Japanese army circles that the retreat of Admiral Kolchak and the increasing ascendancy of the Bolshevik! in Siberia are so menacing that Japan can not remain indifferent, the Jiji Sbimpo says. Therefore Japan, adds the newspaper, may make a new proposal to the powers regarding the Siberian problem and likewise strengthen the Japanese forces In Siberia. The American government has replied to Japan's recent answer to the American note concerning co-operation as regards the operation of the Transsiberian Railway. The American reply noes with satisfaction Japan's willingness to co-operate, but points out the futility of bringing forward concrete instances of any lack of cooperation in the past. The conciliatory nature of the American reply is such as to give the impression here that a further exchange of notes will be unnecessary and that the incident is considered closed. Dancing Splits Lagro Into Two Factions WABASH, Ind., Nov. 24.

on. Now, however, those In favor of dancing have a leader and the fight promises to grow warmer. The Lagro Reviewer, a weekly newspaper, in the town, which is east of here, has become the champion of the dancers and the issue of this week was devoted almost exclusively to the dance question. Both sides were given.

LATE HOURS, MORE EGGS, IS CLAIMED FOR BIDDY (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 24. Electric lights used to keep hens awake at night increase egg production 60 per cent, according to the testimony of U. R. Fishel, a poultry expert of Hope, Indiana, at a hearing conducted by the Indiana Public Service Commission on a petition of an electric lighting company of Hope ta abandon service. Mr. Fishel appeared in opposition to the petition. He explained that he had invested approximately $10,000 in electrical equipment for his poultry farm, comprising elaborate lighting systems for his hen houses. "It has been demonstrated," Mr. Fishel asserted, "that hens by being kept awake by artificial light until 10 o'clock at night and aroused again at 4 a. m. will increase egg production 50 per cent."

State Farm League Heads Elated Over Showing INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Nov. 24. Officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Association, with headquarters in this city are highly elated over the result of the first annual convention of the organization held during the last week. The enthusiasm and loyalty expressed by the delegates from all parts of the state, along with the spirit of cooperation manifested, was such that the leaders of the Federation have tackled the job of making Indiana 100 per cent organized with renewed vigor and energy. It also is a source of pride on the part of members of the Federation that their organization is the first in the United States to become affiliated with the new national federation of farmers known as the american farm bureau Federation. Indiana farmers had a prominent part in drafting the constitution of this organization at the Chicago meeting two weeks ago, and as a tribute of their work the Indiana convention ratified the national constitution and voted to Join in by unanimous action.

In 1914 the United States had six dye-stuff factories. Now there are fifty.

Corn and Butter Go Up; Goody, Garlic's Cheap Butter, both creamery and country, moved up another notch. Monday. Richmond grocers ask 87 cents a pound for creamery butter and 75 cents for country. Dealers look for no decrease until spring as the farmers will be forced to feed cattle high priced feed. Grain dealers expect corn to reach the $1.75 level per bushel for new corn by January 1. Monday's retail price was $1.50 a bushel. The buying price was $1.25. One consolation remains. The price for the best brand of garlic prices showed a decrease of 25 cents a pound Monday. The new price is 75 cents. Bananas sold for 12 cents a pound Monday, retail price while Saturday they brought 15 cents. Eggs remained stationary.

We have private dressing room and many customers leave their extra garments continually in our care. We do all our pressing by hand. employing the most skilled Tailors, (no apprentices.
