Specal Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, September 15.—Nearly 60,000 Baltimore families will move this year and it will cost them approximately $1,200,000, according to analysis of fig- ures obtained from the Consolidated Gas, Electric Light and Power Company and officials of the Van Owners’ Association. In the first seven months of 1923 the gas company has had 71,911 orders fer starting gas or electric services, of which 18,597 are for new meters. This means 120,000 such orders during the year, If the pace is kept up. Di- vided by’ two, as the service Is double, this gives a fair idea of the number of moves or changes. $20 Average Cont Each move averages $20 in cost, trans- fer men say. They predict their busi- ness will run at least 10 per cent heavier than last year. The family moving busi- ness here has increased 100 per cent in ten years. As revealed by an investigation the principal reasons for moving are: High rents compel changes to lower- priced flats or houses, or induce families 10 buy homes. 2 Persons move into new homes built during_building boom, which has par- i tially “relieved the house shortage. Well-to-do _persons leave big houses or apartments because they cannot get servants. Persons in downtown flats during the war shortage of houses are moving back to_the suburbs. Long-distance moving, to and from other citles, has become much easier. Restless Spirit of War. The restless spirit induced by the war makes changing homes much easier and than ten vears ago. Booming expansion and unprecedented nomadic wandering among Baltimore in- nts are shown by the following ompany figures: six months of last year per- inquiries d all orders for changes or allations of service num- bered 80,707. Same figures correspond- ing period in 1923 are 100,269. Bullding department reports 26.5 per cent of its orders represent actual new customers never before served by thé company. A _check of 7,122 orders in July shows first-time customers and in Jul; t of 6,323 orders, 1,453 were from new customers, Rates charged by van owners within the city limits are for a 400 cubic foot van, one load, $12: for a 600-foot van, $18, and for an 800-foot van, $24. For each floor furniture must be carried up i there is a small additional charge. Most families are within the $12 clas next most numerous are the $18 class, but many families have two loa more and total charges run up to re _has been no change in rates n the last year. There is a slight bility of increase this fall or next spring. PLAN COLUMBUS FETE. FLORENC!

Appointment of a supervision prin- cipal for the third division to succeed Robert L. Haycock, who will become assistant superintendent of schools on October 1, succeeding Stephen E. Kramer, newly elected principal of Central High School, may be made at the next meeting of the board of education, on September 19. There is a possibility, however, it was Intimated today by Supt. Frank W. Ballou, that Mr. Haycock's posi- tion may not be filled, as a plan is under consideration for regrouping the schools in the third division. If satisfactory arrangements can be made at this time for placing the schools in the third division under the supervision of the supervising | principals whose boundaries are con- tiguous to those of Mr. Haycock'sedi- vision, this scheme probably will be approved, eliminating the need of a successor to Mr. Haycock. A definite decision as to which plan to adopt probably will be reached by the su- perintendent at conferences he pro- poses to hold in the near future with the supervising principals.

TRAGEDY IS AVERTED BY TIMELY SYMPATHY Travelers’ Aid Society Reunites Homeless Mother With Parents, Who Discarded Her. Another human tragedy has been lessened through the interference of humanitarian institutions in Wash- ington. A few days ago a seventeen- year-old girl with an infant in her arms applied at the Travelers’ Aid booth in the Union station to be di- rected to a place where she could take her baby and find work. She was an unmarried mother and had been driven from home by her father and mother. The girl was in mental and physical distress, and the Trav- elers’ Ald workers laid the case be- fore the St. Ann's Infant Asylum. That institution readily assented to co-operate, and the giri and her baby remained there for several days. Then the Travele Ald appealed to the parents, with the vesult family truce was fixed up and the young mother and her babe have been returned to their home. WOMAN KILLED IN AUTO.

ATENS, Ga., September 15.—Negro migration to northern ‘states was likened to the “first pale rays of the dawn of a better day” for the south, by Judge Blanton Fortson, western Georgia judicial circuit, in an ad- dress prepared for . delivery before members of the eighth and ninth con- gressional district press associations, in joint session here vesterday. ‘The reason for negro migration was attributed by the jurist to restriction on southern Buropean immigration, the latter causing, he said, a labor shortage in all Industrial centers. Strong. efforts are being made to raise the restrictions on these immi- grants, he added. “I ask you, gentlemen, not only"to oppose these steps, but to urge even more_restrictions.
