+ WONEN INVITE NSS. ROBERTSON AS SUPAT NAL Congresswoman Asked to Dedication To-Morrow of Home at Washington. MANY NEW _ YORKERS. Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer Will Preside at Ceremonies on Capitol Hill. WASHINGTON, May 20.—Hun- reds of prominent women have ar- rived for the dedication of the new home of the National Woman's Party on Capitol Hill to-morrow. Miss Alice Paul, the active leader of the movement to give women tn- terested in politics a permanent head- quarters at Washington, has made a bid for the friendship of Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma, the lone woman in Congress, by Inviting her to the ceremonies. It was announced that Miss Rob- ertson would be honored by the Woman's Party with the offer of a seat next to President Harding, not- withstanding her caustic remarks about Woman Suffrage since she came to Congre This solicitous- ness is taken as a gentle slap at the National League of Women Voters, which failed to Invite her to meet Lady Astor, or take part in the re- cent Pan-American Conference at Baltimore. Miss Robertson. however, will not attend the meeting, for reasons of her own. “I do not indorse the fitty-fitty rights programme of the National Woman's Party,” said she to-day, “although Iam in sympathy with those exercises in honor of woman's new position. I'm a woman myself, but an old-fashioned, conservative woman who likes to stay at home on Sunday. That's why I'll not attend the ceremonies, but I'll send greet- ings to be put on the cornerstone."” Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, titular head of the party; Mrs. H. O. Have- meyer, who will preside over the meeting to-morrow, and scores of other New Yorkers have arrived. The New York City delegates are: Mrs, John Winters Brannan, Hon- orary Chairman, New York Branch, “Woman's Party; Mrs. Marcus M, Marks, Chairman Executive Commit. tee, New York City Branch, Woman's Party; Mrs. Adelaide Johnson (artist), Mrs. Mary L.

By R. R. Batson. There have been many m careers in the history of racing, but none that quite ap- proaches the swift uprush to the pinnacle of racing fame Benjamin Block, owner of the sensational Moryich, has achieved Up to a year ago Block did not own a horse, nor d he ever raced a horse, To-day, he is the most discussed man in the racing Block on Racing Pinnacle MRS we ke Wordhitis career again demon- * .

His business 1 was unable to fully ate stud farm, Block's interest in rac- ing was confined to watching orse> run, and to infrequently have a small wager on the result. He had notegiven serious thought to establishing a stable it was Block's good fortune to see Morvich run in the Greenfleld Ning kes on May 6 of last when as a 50 to 1 shot he galloped in a winner by ten lengths. But Block was not much impressed by the perform- ance that he was seized with a desire to own the horse. As a matter of fact, Morvich became a little lame after the race and the wise “rail-birds’ were loud in the prediction that his ugly forelegs would prohibit him from having a successful racing career Two days after the running of the Greenfield Selling Stakes, the Runnymede-Hymir colt was pur chased by Max Hirsch from Spreckles for $4,500. Hirsch ad mittedly took the colt as a gam. ble. Meantime, Fred Burlew, who d also seen the colt run in the Greenfield Stakes, had been doing some serious thinking, He looked Morvich over and came to the conclusion that those twisted fore- legs might, after all, stand the terrific strain of pounding on a hard track, and that the horse possibly could be developed into a fairly consistent winner. He im. parted his conclusions to Block— but let the latter tell the story ‘Credit for my good fortune in becoming the owner of Morvich must be given to Fred Burlew. He, of course, knew that f was a devotee of racing and ulso knew that I could become tempted to buy a colt: whos seemed to be promising and whose price was what I considered right. Bur lew recommended the purchase of Morvieh.

Speculative builders are looking with more favor on ten-dollar-a- room-a-month apartments, Six houses, in which three and four room suites will rent at $30 to $40 @ month, were started to-day in Brook. lyn at Prospect Avenue and Bighth Street by Walter Kraslow as Presl- dent of Kraslow Building Company. He has been active in putting up high _ - class dwellings and apartments in , various sections of that borougtrdt ing the last twenty years. The rstructures were designedéand planned by ‘Maxwell A. Cant/, an architect who his, studied thé current housing problem ¥gom all aagles, “Extortion nts for living as- commodatic apartment houses are not being obtained now as easily as a year ago,” said the builder to- day. “Throughout the metropolitan district there is a decided trend down- ward in rentals of multi-family build- ings. The high rents are not being reduced as a result of a surplus of new apartments but rather becatise homeseekers have found it econofni- ally impossible to pay the rentals demanded. In many cases owners of buildings erected under recent high costs have found it advisable to re- duce rents rather than permit thelr houses to remain unoccupied for am indefinite period MUST USE ECONOMY TO CUT COST AND RENTALS, “This is why builders are begin~ ning to recognize the necessity for | planning along mere economical lines, ‘They must produce what cam be paid for readily by the masses of tenants. It is not impossible to con- struct houses with rooms renting at $10 a month. The profiteering tana= lord of war times was an important factor in the fump of rents from $8 ‘or $10 @ room a month to $24 and $86 for the same quarters, Now we aré learning that buildings with good- sized rooms can be put up in good residential neighborhoods, with ampie closets, steam heat, hot water and electric light at $10 a room @ moath and probably less. “Our first unit to be started consists of four-story apartments on the cot ner, with five three-story structures adjoining on the avenue. The corner, 91x88, will contain four apartments on each floor. Two suites on first floor will contain three rooms each: the other two, four rooms each —all with large baths. Upper floors will be divided into four-room units. The three-story houses, each 20x82, will provide for six families apiece, all In four-room suites, with baths. The living rooms will contain 150 to 168 square feet; the dining rooms, 150. Kitchens are 9x13; bedrooms average 10x12.6. “Between the three-story houses will be double interior courts, 81.8x22) assuring natural light and ventilation. ‘The fronts will be of face brick and stone, designed in excellent taste but without costly ornamentation. Con- struction throughout will be of the highest standard, but costly fixtures and finishings, which have formed’ the basis for much of the high rental demands, are to be replaced with leas elaborate but equally satisfactory de- vices. FAIR PROFIT FOR BUILDERS; MORE PROJECTS PLANNED. Economic planning and elimina- _ tion of items which add to cost but do not increase comfort of tenants fiake $10-a-room apartments possi- ble. There is to be nothing wastéd im our buildings. We can Bgure a fair margin of profit, and It is our inten- tion to continue similar operations in the same neighborhood. We feel it will help many families to get back to a basis of correct economic living.” Delay in starting the $9-a-room apartments for which the Metropoli+ tan Life Insurance Company obtained special legislation at the last session — was reported to-day as due to the necessity for revising the plans in order to put more rooms on the same site and within the same walls, The original plans called for 1,240 rooms to the block, housing 300 families, ‘The new plans are for 1,150 rooms and 465 families on the same plot~ tage.
