HOW MANCHESTER DOES IT ENGLISH workmen cngied fn the building trades have perfected an ingenious plan for assisting in solving the housing problem in Manchester. There is immediate need for i!0,000 new houses In the city and oO.OOO will he needed lu the near future. There Is labor cno'ugh to build them, but the con tracting builders have no capital nud find it difficult to raise it. The munici pal corporation, however, has power under the law to build houses and to luise money to pay for them. Th nlnil now tn ntmmttmi nrovlrlc t)nt. the men engaged In the building trades should form a building guild and should contract with the municipal cor poration to put up houses at a price ni to tl. . i t .,, 10 . cnt ITno 10 pi.r cent , ,.,,,, for not , n profit to prov,je working capital with which to buy wheelbarrow, scaf folding and other material necesnry for carrjitiR on building operations, and aNo to provide a fund out of which wages are to be paid to outside workmen during the time when they are prc.eiited by weather conditions from workinc. A are making to let contracts for a much larger number The advocates the plun maintain that it Is likely to solve a most perplex- lug labor problem, for It insures to the woi-Kera six uays worn a ween wini pay and it relieves them from dependence on an employer, as each member of the I building guild Is his own employer. I Stripped of all complications, the plan I Is in its essentials a system of co- group of carpenters, plumbers nnd , build a ship or operate a mine or run a street railway sj stem. It will be several months before it will appear whether the plan can be made to work out successfully. Theoretically it sounds interesting. It is not adapted, however, to conditions that prevail here, for the city has no power to invest money in housing operations and there is a strong sentiment against permitting the city to engage in sucn enterprises. The problem here is how to find the ! capital and how to induce thc city to co-operate with the builders by laying 1 sewers iiml water mains in the new I streets on which new houses must be bull,.

Hoover's Chances tor Presidency Lessened bg the Facf That Tie Has Convictions Gospel of Force' TTIi I to IS harder for a man of convictions be nominated for President than It Is for a camel to gr through the eye of a needle. That Is the trouble with Mr. Hooter. He is the best qualified man In sight for the presidency. A large number of people of both par tie want him. Yet nothing short of a miracle will cause his nomination by either party. Why? Iteeausc he has convictions which make him suspect. Two years ago he had the conviction the President should have a Democratic Congress to get the peace the country wanted. He was rfght. as the mess we are In over the treaty indicates. Hnd Mr. Wilson had Congress he would not have had his way entirely, hut he would have got through the treaty with reservations that merely inter preted It. Kor this conviction the He publicans will have none of Mr. Hoover. q i i THE Democrats need very badly a candidate who can win. In this emergency It was thought that they would turn to Mr. Hoover. Hut again Mr. Hoover has a convic tion, namely, that rather than have peace unaccomplished the President ought to have taken the treaty with the Lodge reservations. For this conviction the Democrats will have none of Air. Hoover. It is the hnbit of having convictions that mnkes Mr. Hoover so eminently tit for the presidency, and it is precisclj this hnbit which makes his nomination nearly impossible. We must make another black mark against our political system. We make public life unnttractive to men of character and solid parts. We have a most elaborate system for keeping .him out of public life when he presents' himself for it. And if he does cet In, we put him In the presidency and thus make him un available for public uses for more, at the most, than eight years. I I 0 AND why not compulsory school spirit? A normal school in Knusas has re sorted to force to procure loyalty nnd enthusiasm, ducking in a lake the dtu dents and professors who failed to np par early when called upon to build a running track. We have had compulsory patriotism during the war. The man who did not subscribe to Liberty Ilnnds, in some small communi ties, was ducked in n pond or ridden on n rail. Uverywhere there is a belief in force to make people think along certain lines or rPb,,,0nd to certain enthusiasms. fn nr(, runnjng for tl(. presidential IlomIinti()l) t0(jay u.jtM xrear support because they embody the idea if elected they will be the boys to put the punch in Americanism. Why, then, should not the schoolboys at a "pep" meeting resolve to throw in a pond any one who showed weakuess In school spirit? It is a much shorter and simpler way than working up enthusiasm through or S,.t.or,i with the spirit of thc moment ganized cheering, and besides, more in fl q q Wf.

Llsteu to this from the circular ot the National City Bank of New York, known as the Foreign Trade Record : "Present indications are that the quantity of hides and skins imported iu the fiscal year ending with June, lti-'O, will approximate 850,000,000 pounds, against the former high record of 7-M,-000,000 hi 1010, and the value In the vicinity of $400,000,000, as against the high record of $210,000,000 iu 1917.

"AW, COME JUST GOSSIP ABOVT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Tells of Aftcr-Eastcr Parties Thc Cast for Mask and Wig Well Chor.cn A Sidelight on thc Shoiv T HEAR that the George Cuthbert Gil- lesples. of Moorestown, have decided to rIvc a party over here at the Acorn Club on Friday afternoon, April !E, for their daughter, Katherine. It's to bo a tea with dancing. Katherine is a cousin of Elizabeth L. Boyd, the daughter of Dr. .and Mrs. Doyd, not the Elizabeth who Is to be married next month. As they have the same name and were both debutantes of the last season It was possible to "mix tho-e chlldien up," you know, so now cery one says "Elizabeth Boyd, not the doctor's daughter, but the one who Is going to marry George Reed next month," or else, ns in tills case, "Elizabeth Boyd, the doctor's daughter." To return to the Glllespics., Katherine made her debut nt the same tea as Elizabeth and lias been coming over for various balls, because, though some nf us are , apt to think Moorestown is "soiucvvheie over in New .lersey." us a matter of fact, It is only a short distance outside ot Camden, if I nm uot mis taken. I know it is not far at all, and an awfully pretty little town. I guess before we kuow it there'll bo quite 11 number of parties upon us once the Enster hells ring out the Lenten season. And that will be less than a week off. WELL, the cast for the Mask and Wig is out nt last and the princi pals are certainly good. Til say, from all I have heard of them. ' I felt ipiite at home when I saw they had one man, B. B. Brause, taking two parts, that of Beppe nnd a guard. It seemed nlmost ns if Atidisio, of operu fame, was "at it again." Hnve you noticed how faithfully that little soul works through nenrly every perform ance of the Metropolitan, oftentimes being two persons, nnd nlso ofteu doesn't even get a mention in the re views? And yet. if hc was not ttyere at just thc right mom'.ni. with bis little voice announcing "The cnrrlage awaits." or "They arc about to hum jour mother up," the point might be gone out of the whole story. For my part the first person's name I look for on the opeia progrnm is Atidisio, And, would you believe it, they are nctually planning tn cive tomorrow's performance without him ! bl: L'T as that is neither heie nor there, Wig. Did I tell you that Edward Ln viuo wrote the bonk and designed the costumes? 1 think it's great how these men who were the one-time actors of Mask and Wig fame themselves, always tuke an interest iu the club and write the book 8, words and music, and direct the acting nnd dancing themselves. I told you before, I think, that Clinrlie Gilpin has written fifteen oilgiual num bers this .venr.mil, of i nurse, the di rection of the production and tile dancing is under the skillful bauds, I almost said feet, of Charlie Morgan.
