Not by her own sex. Mrs. Mildred Manly Easton, president and founder of the Life as a Fine Art Club, lectured the other day on the mod- ern “perfect woman," and she waar't a bit ike Griselda, Yet there is Alex- ander Harvey, one of the. editors of Current Literature, to whose mind the ct n” has remained un- since the days of Solomon. what each of them said in inter- views for The Evening World.

URGE STANDARDIZATION AS A! CURE FOR-RISING TAXES. Standardization of salaries and sup: | ply contracts throughout the Greater City is the main aim of those who are trying to reduce municipal expendi- tures. ‘They belleve that at least $20,- 000,000 ought to be saved on the salary Account of $80,000,000 a year and as much more on supply contracts. Such organizations as the Realty League and Bureau of Municipal Re- search are conducting investigations privately and the statistics which th are gathering will be submitted for use in the general ‘novement of standard- {zation. In the mean time, there is a lively fight to force the Board of Es- timate to make the needed appropria: tion of $240,000 for carrying on th city's work in connection with stand- ardization, Realty leaders are eager for this appropriation, although they oppose other additions to the budget. | They believe that the standardization movement will save many e ear for taxpayers if it c: onstrate just where and how be reduced 4 | | | | —best.
