This has been predicted before—that, at least in cities, everybody event- ually will live in big apartment houses run like hotels, with the housework done by maids, cooks, porters and laun- dresses employed by the hotel-home. This would be an application, to housework, of the co- operative principles we alraedy use in government. However, our jazz era may have a reaction in the form of a general desire to get back to nature and the simple life Airplanes could make this possible, people living far out in the country, father flying several hundred miles to work. In which case, there’d be mere housework for ma than there is now—and Professor Groves would be all wrong in his pre- diction. Groves expresses this interesting size-up of the woman “In spite of all this so-called freedom, women | are still drudges and slaves to their homes. They are 80 busy with housekeeping that they have no time to instruct their‘children properly, and no time to be companions as well as housekeepers to their husbands. When 40 comes, they feel that life has gone from them.” True in many cases, undoubtedly. But when a wife really loves her husband, and has children, housework is not drudg- ery and slavery in the long run, though mighty monotonous at. times. Mother gets infinite joy toiling to make her famliy happy. That’s one reason no sacrifice is too great for her. Science, of course, is unable to comprehend this. Science is baffled by anything it can’t measure in kilowatt hours. CHEAP FUEL Hdison backs Steinmetz in predicting that we are close to the day when coal—instead of being shipped to consum- ers at great transportation cost and effort — will be con- verted into electricity at the mines. The coal would run big engines, which in turn would oper ate generators of current to be sent over high-tension wires to a country on an electrical basis. That would make life easier—simply turning the switch for cooking and heating. Not so easy, really to get such a system into operation at a price that would put the coal dealer out of business. A different solution of the coal problem was predicted recently by Floyd W. Parsons, making a speech to gas man- ufacturers. Parsons thinks this:' “Eventually every ton of coal mined in the United States will have all heat units converted into gas, which will be distributed through pipes to homes, mills and factories.” We may pass through a Gas Age before we reach the Electric Age. Already there are more than nine million gas meters (perpetual motion machines, according to Rodger Dolan) in America. In the last 12 months, gas companies added 400,000 customers to their books. There is difference of opinion, as to whether coal at the mines should be converted into gas or electricity. But it’s almost unanimously agreed by economists and other experts, that shipment of coal to consumers is too costly. A startling change is coming here. Our generation may live to see it. NIGHT LIFE ON WANE There won’t be a cabaret on Broadway two years from now, predicts Sanford H. Cohen, resigning as United States district attorney in New York City. Cohen closed a lot of the famous night-life resorts himself, for selling hooch. | Less encouraging to the prohibitionist is the story from Log Angeles: N woman reports to federal agents that a boot- leggers rang her bell, gave her a card and told her just to hang it in the window when she wanted a case of firewater. It weighs as much as ice, but doesn’t seem as heavy to handle. i AFTER AUTUMN WINTER Summer is gone, autumn almost, winter coming. Soon Thanksgiving, then wonderful Christmas presents to give, what New Year resolutions to make. First of the month, | bills'due. And so on, year after year, generation after gen- eration, same old routine. : You can foresee nine-tenths of the future without cross- ing silver over the palm of a fortune teller. Life is pretty thuch a clockwork proposition. Actors and costumes change, but the plot of life is much the same in all generations. }. THEATRICAL ART Strange things are happening to theatrical art, which remained virtually unchanged for many centuries. We have movies, where the audience sees a play without actually seeing or hearing the actors. | Also we have radio-drama, the audience hearing the ac- tors without seeing them. ia y ~The two—movies and radio-drama—might be combined into)a novel sort of entertainment. Maybe this will be the eventual “talking movie.” © : CARS IN EAST . . Japan had only 12,500 licensed autos before the earth- quake. Inadequate roads.

Wheat came to market in somewhet more than normal quantities because the esti- mated wheat crop of this year is but per cent of that of a year ago, whereas September receipts of wheat this year were 71 per cent of a year ago. “There has been no difficulty in obtaining railroad equipment this year for the purpose of shipping grain . Therefore market’ conditions can more easily influence shipments than in\recent years. The move- nient of corn has been «negligible owing to the fact that farm stocks were practically exhausted this year, and new corn had not begun to move during September. Livestock Run Big “The fall run of livestock is well under way with receipts at South St. Paul much larger in the case of hogs and sheep and,slightly smaller in the case of cattle and calves 1 compared with a year ago. The total run of all livestock measured Sy number of head is about 15 per cent Greater than last September and prices show mixed tendencies, in- creases being shown only in the case of hogs as ‘compared with the pre- cedin month. “Business activity in the cities of this district during September as reflected by individual debits at banks increased slightly os compared with August but the increase was only, ofé-thita” of whlt should’ nbr- mally take place at this time-of the ‘year. In fact, the total volume reac’- ~ ed the lowest point shown in avy September during the last five years except September, 1921. This’ slowing down in urban business was brought about largely by the slump in fiour milling production ‘due to a smaller wheat crop to be milled, as well 1s a decline in mining output, and a lesy than seasonal increase in fetaii trade in the cities, smaller shipments hy- lumber manufacturers and mixed conditions in wholesale trade. How- ever, there was a very satisfactory inerease in the shipments of linseed products owing to the very large a i volume of flax moving at this time.“ “The member banks in this district as wellas this Federal Reserve Bank experienced a loan expansion which is seasonal for September. The de- mand was not so great, however, as to make any substantial increase in interest rates charged customers by member banks.” North Coast Limited 4 The Barber “North Coart Limited”, ‘The North Coast Limited” * is one of America’s , ’ Finest Trains Ly.
