By Sophie Irene Loeb. ‘The 1-cent decrease in the price of ® quart of milk, beginning this month As announced by the milk corhpa- nies—an unprecedented move at this time of the year, when milk ordinarily is higher—présents a startling eitua- tion in’ the milk industry and threat- ths a milk shortage jn the future that ig fraught with great + n to the pedple. Word comes from up-State that farmers are selling their cows, worth three year ago $160 to $17) or more ® head, for as low as $35. ‘This depletion of herds, according to those who are close to the propos!- tion, will bring something closely akin to a milk famine before the win- ter is over. ‘The situation is this: On Oct. 1 the Milk Trusts an- nounced that they would purchase no more milk frém the farmers until further notified. This order was cause primartly because the warehouses of the Milk Trusts were overloaded With con- densed and evaporated and other finned milk, worth approximately ,000,000.. . ‘his was occasioned by the, great slump in foreign exchange and the grave condition of the fareign mar- kets. MILK COMPANIES TO BLAME, FIRST OF ALL. ap this milk in the Spring, when mille production was at its highest, and instead of letting the public have the loose milk at a low figure, they stored it im great tanks and then put tt into tin cans, the canned milk be- ing’ more profitable than .the loose milk. ‘There being no State Milk Com+ mission or other regulatory agency as has been urged by The Evening World, the mil companies, fore, were practically permitted to do os they pleased with the milk pro- duction of the State: the whole mat- ter being handled in the interest of the industry itself, and without any attempt anywhere to look to the fu- ture public welfare in forestalling any possible milk shortage: or in reduc- ing ,the price of milk. Thus, it was possible for the Milk ‘Trusts, with their bursting ware- houses, to say to the farmer: “We won't buy any more milk,” and the farme rto use the vernacular, was “stuck.” Phe average farmer, not equipped with the means 6r the methods of speedily turning bis milk into other channels euch as butter and cheese, except perhaps in @ sinall way, found himself crfppled, in effect, as to a ready place In which to market bis milk. As was shown in The Evening World investigation ast spring, when I made a tour of the State and interviewed the farmers, the farmer was very much discouraged, he re- ceiving only 7 cents for hig milk and the Milk Trusts selling it for 18 cents. Also he was unable to get help on the farm, and gradually he sought to tliminatg as much of the milk busi- uiess as possible, FARMERS DETERMINE To Quit DAIRY BUSINESS. ‘The new turn of affairs this fall, ‘na stated above, only accentuated his discouragement and made him more than ever resolved to quit the dairy business as scon as possible, which is being done new in no smail way. It is now coming to pass that New State, which has held first place jnmong the States in dalry produc ‘ton, Is rapidiy losin fu flouriehin industry, The herds being sold now and ft will take more than two or three years to replace them under favorable conditions, even if these conditions should warrant such placement, Dalry cows are becoming “a drug on the market," in view, of the low prices at which the farmer is forced | to sell them, ‘The chief causes for this gradual but sure decline in the production of milk in this State is summed up as follows: There is no way by which the farm- may be certain that ail the milk he produces will be properly ubsorbed in a continuous manner at a price to lim that will encourage his develop- Ing the Industry, The big Money is not made by the farmer-producer, but by the milk trusts, and the farmer sees no way by which a proper adjustment of this vital phase in the business can be made in his behalf, since there ts eno agency to remedy things except ie own ,organization, the Dairy- » which seemingly has Hloea unable to get a proper appor- | onment of profits. ‘The family of the farmer, finding re- ‘The milk corporations had bought! for this vital necessity of life, such | there- | _ MEANS APOSSIBLE FAMINE: ~ FARMERS SELL THER HERDS Detectives Find Auto StolenFrom Dominiek Henry Now — Everybody.

Therefore somebody rode away in Dominick Henry's car. Four times within a few previous months had thieves stolen Dominick Henry's car, but each time they had abandoned it in a public place where, after a sult- able length of time, !t had attracted the attention of a policeman and been returned to the owner, . But this, time—the fifth time—tho thieves conclded to keep the car. All in yain did the command go forth ‘from Police Headquarters that Henry's car must be found. Meantime things kept happening to Dominick Henry, and to his car also, but the vigilance of the Detective Bu- | reau never relaxed. Perseverance was rewarded to-day when Detectives Hemrick, Hussey and Adams found in the garage of Julius jand John Meyers at No, 69 Third Btreet, Long Island City, a five-passen- ger Buick touring car which they Iden- tified by the engine number as the wandering vehicle of Dominick Henry. ‘Tho Meyerses admitted ownership of the car.

By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (Copyright, 1920).—Cabinet rumors fly thick and fast as President-elect Harding ap- proaches Washington. Two sets of | | opinions are encountered here, One is that Mr. Harding not only hasn't committed himself to anybody but hasn't discussed cabinet with any one in such concrete terma as to warrant any accurate speculation about pev- sonnel.» The other is that a half dozen of Mr.’ Harding’s friends have been and are canvassing the situation and conducting conferences in the hope Of lining up a list of cabinet eligibles. From the latter group comes all the information. And the ‘ast crop of idems wafted here conveys the {m- pression that a plan in nfoot to per quude Gov. Frank O, Lowden of lt Adin, to become Ambassador to Great Britain instead of becoming Secre- tary of the Treasury. ‘The suggestion is {nterwovep with another» concerning former Sunator Jobn W. Weeks of Massachusetts who has always been mentioned as the probable selection of Mr. Harding for Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Weeks is a graduate of the U. S, Naval Academy and While a member of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs showed great Interest in the develop- ment of the Aavy, Senator Weeks is a banker and was one of the group of Ropublicans who voted for the pres- ent Federal Reserve Act. WEEKS WOULD PREFER THE TREASURY POST. Although fie is represented as not anxious for any Cabinet post, there is @ sentiment among his friends that ho would be happler in the Secretaryship. of the Treasury than the’ Navy, par- ticularly because he is a banker by experience and tikes finance, Heretofore it has been supposed that Gov. Lowden, who won national atten- tion by his business administration in Ilinols, would become Secretary of the Treasury {f he wanted it. Unquestion- ably Mr. Lowden can have anything in the Cabinet he wants. -It {s sald that he himself 1s not eager to go to Wash- ington or anywhere else in public office, and that Mr. Harding will have too a great deal of persuading to get Mr. Lowden away from his farm In Illinois. 48 tor Secrstary of State, friends of Elihu Root insist that he will eventually Ye Mr, Harding's choice. It is an‘open secret that while some of the original Harding men cannot see how Mr. Root's views would fit in the Harding Administration they admit that Mr, Root has a prestige throughout the United States which would give the Harding Cabinet a good start with public opinion. _In other words, they admit that the Secretary of State will have to be the top-liner of the Cabinet this tIme be- cause of the prominence of © the League of Nations and foreign policy. SENATOR KNOX FIRST CHOICE OF HARDING MEN. Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvaia is of course first choice with most of the Harding men, who believe that Knox reflects better than anybody else the views of the Prest- dent-elect on foreign policy. But Mr. Knox's health ts the doubtful factor, Some say he does not want cabinet responsibilities and would prefer to stay in the Sen- ate. Others say he could be more useful as chairman of the * Senate Foreign Rel tions Committee if Sen- ator Lodge were to be taken Into the Cabinet, Some of those who want Mr. Lodre jto go Into the Cabinet are tink vexed qu of leadership t yublicars e. th Sen- ator Penrose ill, th ties of leader- ship would fall lureely on Mr, Ladge. And there isn't an ullorether har- monious feeling in the Senate aby ut Mr, Lodge, Everybody's good humor was more or less tested during the treaty fight of the last session of Congress and Mr. Lodge was between two millstones—the “reservationists” and the “irreconcilables.” Phere haa een some discuaston about new leadership ia the hope thar the sores of the treaty fight would be healed by an entirely new deal in the Senate. Such a plan contemplates the promotion of Senator Lodge to thi portfolio of Secretary of State, though it Is insisted, by friends of Mr. Lodge that he prefers to remain at the head of the Foreign Helations and steer the new administr: eign policy through Congress, pared TS Mother Dented Custody of Child.

She is convinced too that precious little 13 known of what New Yorkers have done, By, this Mrs, VAn Rensselaer means the simon-pure New Yorkers, those horn here, not the newcomers of the present generation, Further- more, it is her belief that New York- ers have never been adequately re- warded for wha® they have done, never been praperly recognized. And to strengthen her declaration ehe is ready to polnt out the fact that of the 383 statues which more or less adorn our city, only three have been Greoted to New Yorkers. Fortified by her beliefs and deter- mined that New York shall come into {ts own, If it be within her power and influence to achieve it, Mrs, Van Rensselaer last night brought to- gether at her home, No, 157 East 37th Street,! almost a hundred espectally invited New Yorkers, sitmon-pure ones, and there formed the Soclety of Patriotic New Yorkers. Through this organization, Mrs. Vat Rensselaer and those who formed it expect to teach the other dwellers of the Empire State just what New York really is, just what it means to the world and to the Unton, just what it and its sons and daugh- ters have accomplished since Peter Minuit started things by buying Manhattan Island on a finc May day in 1626 for the equivalent of twenty- four dollars, SOCIETY NOT NECESSARILY EX- CLUSIVE, SOCIALLY. The meeting was held at 8 o'clock in Mrdé, Van Rensselaer’s drawing room, a fit setting for such a gather- ing, ag the room 1s filled with historic relics of unquestioned rarity and value, There it was decided to in- corporate the society and to proceed at once with a programme which will eventually make the organization one of the moat noteworthy in the coun- try. “1 would Mke it well understood,” Mrs, Van Rensselaer said a short time before her guests began to ar- vive, “that this is not an exclualvely soclal soctety, It would have no pow- er if it were only exclusive, But, from the very qualifica:ions for mem- ership in it, It will bave a tincture of exclusiveness, and I use the word in ita proper sense, Furthermore, ny one asking to Join the society au- tomatically becomes Ineligible for membership, To become a member one must be invited to join*by two members and the candidate must be unanimously elected by the Hlectton Committee. That the financial re- iulrements are far from exacting Is evident from the fact that the initia- ton fee Is only $6, which includes the first year’s dues, and that tho latter hereafter are only 93. ELIGIBLE MEMBERS CONFINED TO FOUR CLASSES. “There are to be four classes of membership: ancestral, constructive, -egiatered’ and corresponding. The first requires that the family of the rember shall have been living in the State of New York since before the year 1776. ‘The second requires that the member shall have been born in the State, and the third that he shudll ave bad two or more ancestors who owned property in the State prior to 6. ‘The fourth class included mem- bers by snvitayjon who have beea| sho were Social Organization. asked to join fot the saxe of their knowledge of New York and the vaiu of communications they may make ts the society. “We will work with the H tures of great yalue and takes parties on tours of the oity for instructive Purposes.

The city had been burned from what is now the Battery to City Hall, only St. Paul's Church surviving. New York was almost dead. Other gities, Boston, Newport particularly, Bhiladelp ia, Peterboro, Va., and Charleston, 8.

That's one of the | things our society intends to study, to learn and reveal ne reason, The only reason that comes to me now is that New York was more liberal than any of the other colonies. New England was narrow and full of ‘isms;’ Penn- sylvania was Quaker. Perltaps the people there could not agree among themselves.. I don’t know. But the fact remains that New York was built and just see what it ‘has be- come! “But how many people Iving here reaily know anything about the city?

It was up this road, past the site of this house that the British marched after thelr victory on Long Island. This was Kip's Bay Road, and th British landed at the eastern end of this street and marched up to Mrs Murray's house at what is now Park Avenue. That's where the name Mur- ray Hill comes from.
