The most alarming situation in the

?jjjfoW itself to the people of this city '
-9-eiay when upwards of 900.000 pupils
t.?? their studies in the public
under the most adverse condi?
tions that ever existed locally.
?\.3 a direct result o? the failure of
ta H* stration to provide
H* ?i-n?>?.'. A or adequately repair tho ;
,.;<* structures, nearly 100,000 children !
will be on part time in the elementary j
schools, while in the high schools the i
- will all be on part time. Not >
ine high school has been built in years. I
?n some of the most crowded dis- j
fj^tg : C children will be I
taaght in quardruple sessions. In one
of these schools -in Neptune Avenue,
foney l?':?i-':d-this condition follows
months of bickering between the Hylan
???{ministration and the Board of Edu?
cation over a new site. In this matter
the Hears* Hylan-Tammanji organiza
tJM recently was defeated in the Su?
preme Court, and the action of Mayor
Hv!a*7 sharply criticized in the opinion
handod down by Justice Cropsey as a
deliberate breach of faith.
12.000 in Unfinished Buildings
To meet the increase of more than
20,000 pupils in the elementary schools,
the belated building program of the
Hylan re::? mo will provide approxi?
mately 12,000 new seats. Even in this
?tase, however, the children attending
the new schools will do so while the
eoBtractors are still putting the fin?
ishing touches to their work. Only by j
the effort- of C. B. J. Snyder, Superin?
tendent of School Buildings, has the
work progressed as far as it has.
The problem confronting the teach
,ng staff is almost Beyond solution.
The force was severely overworked
last year because of the impossible i
conditions, this year matters are much
a-orse. It is free'-y predicted by edu?
cational authorities that only a
miracle will prevent a complete break?
down in the morale of the teaching
staff. This is tvT.e both of the ele-,
ir.entary and h ?.eh schools.
The Board of Education itself has -
:raposed ev ?n further handicaps upon j
the teachers by ruthlessly cutting
down the est:mates for the coming j
year ori salaries, the result of which i
will be a makeshift of education by |
the employment of substitute teachers, j
The latter will be deprived cf the j
(vantages that go to instructors j
in the public schools, both ?s regards
salary and pension possibilities.
For six months the budget commit?
tee of the Board of Education
struggled with the problem of esti?
mates for teacher's salaries. At the
conclusion of these sessions it was
decided to ask for $1,128,425.53, for
enO principals and teachers to care
for tie increased registration in Sep?
tember, and $596, 103.71 for 787 prin?
cipals and teachers for the 1922 in?
crease.
When the board went into special
executive session to consider the bud- i
get estimates, a drastic cut was made
in these, figures. Members emerged ,
?rom the meeting with estimates of :
?"752,01)0 for the September increase,
and $397.000 for the 1922 gain.
High School Teacliers Suffer
A similar situation exists in the
hi-jh school estimates. The budget
committee estimated that 137 new
teachers would be necessary for the
September increase, and that for this
purpose S3" 1.585 would be needed. For
the 1922 increase 205 new teachers
were asked for with an estimated sal?
ary cost of $337,124.04. (Payment of
salaries for new teachers in 1922 not
covering as many days as those ap?
pointed :.n September of this year.)
The Board of Education, although
?wed with the most extraordinary in?
crease In high school attendance in
years, cut these estimates down to
8221,056.67 for the September item, and
ta C24.749.36 for the 1922 teachers.
At the close of the last term the
average class had reached the un?
precedented proportion of forty pupils,
as compared to the maximum of thirty
8vt Bet rio'.vn by educational authori?
ses as the limit for one teacher. The
??esult of the slash in the estimates will
mean, together with the abnormal ad?
vance in the registration, that the size
of classes will be further increased.
This in turn will add to the teachers' ;
burden, reduce efficiency and hold back :
brilliant pupils, without aiding sub- j
Dermal ones.
In addition, in many parts of the
city pupils will be compelled to study j
in schools long since condemned. !
Many of the buildings are in wretched '?.
?anitary condition, and little or no ?
effort has been made to improve the ;
vtuation. Some are a daily menace to !
bcalth, others are fire traps. j

Wants Churches Opened
At Nights for Jobless
Pastor -Seeks to Make Changes
in Building to House at
Least Fifty Men
New York's churches should be thrown
opon at night as sleeping quarters for
the unemployed men now slumbering; in
the parks, in the opinion of the Rev. J.
H Lockwood, pastor of the South Third
Street Methodist Church, Brooklyn.
"It will he to the everlasting shame
of the churches and synagogues of this
groat city if they permit the men who
are without employment to suffer for a
place to sleep," he said in a sermon last
night.
"There may be some who think their
church buildings too sacred to be used
as temporary sleeping places for this
army of homeless men. In that case
let them provide their share of places
elsewhere. As for me, I would count it
an honor to see my church used to
shelter these homeless brothers of
ours.
"A pew cushion makes a more com?
fortable bed than a park bench, and I
am going to attempt to raise funds to
make some changes in this church nec?
essary to care for at least fifty men.

of Nazareth refuse Him a night's lodg?

To Supreme Court
Committee for Free Press
Announces Writ of Error
Has Been Granted in Fight
to Safeguard Newspapers
J. A. H. Hopkins, chairman of the
Committee for Free Presa in America,
15 East Fortieth Street, announced yes?
terday that a writ of error has been
granted to counsel for "The New York
Call," and that the decision of the
Court of Appeals against the Socialist
newspaper, giving the Postmaster Gen?
eral the power to bar newspapers from
the mails, will be appealed to the
United States Supreme Court.
"If the decision holds," said Mr.
Hopkins, "the life of any newspaper in
the United States is subject to the
whims of the Postmaster General.
While it is true that the present Post
office Department has shown a fair
minded and liberal attitude, neverthe?
less there is always the potential dan?
ger that for personal or political rea?
sons those in charge of our postoffice
may choose to exercise autocratic
powers.
"The first amendment to the Con?
stitution states clearly enough the
scrope of freedom of the press, and in
the opinion of the newspaper men who
belong to this committee the recent de?
cision of the District of Columbia
court is in direct violation of this
amendment.
"On the committee are a number cf
newspaper representatives whose poli?
cies are totally opposed to those of
'The New York Call.' They are serv?
ing because they believe that the rights
of a free press in this country are more
important than any political differ?
ences. Now that the organization work I
has been done, we shall commence im?
mediately upen a nation-wide campaign j
to enlist newspaper proprietors and ?
representatives of all shades of opin?
ion in this fight."
Among those who have accepted mem- |
bership on the committee, Mr. Hopkins !
said, are editors of important publica- j
tions in all parts of the country.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Sept. 11 ?
Radical leaders here are seeking to
stir up the foreign element among the
unemployed following the "slave market
auction" of jobless men which was ;
staged last night in imitation of a
similar demonstration in Boston.
They have been addressing meetings
of the unemployed, urging them to take
over and open up factories which have
been closed because of the business
depression.
The number of unemployed and the
proportion of aliens among them are
large and serious disturbances are
feared.

Improvement Is Slow but
Steady in Detroit Field
DETROIT, Sept. 11?The Detroit in
I dustrial field, from a labor standpoint,
! has seen slow but steady improvement
' in the last few months, but ?3 still far
from normal. Figures of March, 1920,
touched the high point, when more than
305,000 were employed. Soon after
began the decrease, pradual at first, but
in September of last year the figures ;
fell to about 75,000.
At present there are employed, ac- j
cording to a report from the Employ?
ers' Association, approximately 173,000
men. This is about 64 per cent of the j
number employed in March of last year,
and a close estimate of the number
still unemployed In Detroit is between
45,000 and 50,000. The automobile I
plants, of course, have been the city'3 I
salvation, and it ?3 these industries j
'that lead in slowly increasing their I
payrolls.
When the depression hit Detroit
i thousands of workmen left the city to
| seek employment elsewhere, and rela?
tively few of this number have re
I turned. A canvass of seventy-nine firms
| during the last week shows the actual
number of men employed in these in?
dustries to be 115,934, of whom 13,710
are on reduced schedules.
Manufacturers have no desire for the
return to Detroit of any unemployed
laborer. Ex-service men < old em?
ployees) with families are given pref?
erence in all plants, then married men
other than service men, the single men ?
next and the out-of towners last.

Bedtime Stories
Black Pussy Makes a Discovery
By Thornton W. Burgess
Of jealousy it is the fat?
To lead to bitter, lasting hate.
?Old Mother Nature.
Black Pussy dearly loves to hunt.
It was born in her. The love of
hunting is born in all Cats. She
doesn't have to hunt. Oh my, no.
She never has to look for food. No
one could be better fed than Black
Pussy.
She doesn't have to hunt the little
people of the Old Orchard and the
Green Meadows. Certainly not. She
does it because she loves to hunt.
It is fun for her. But it isn't fun
for those she hunts.
So Black Pussy is hated by all the
little people of the Old Orchard, the
Green Meadows and the Green For?
est. There isn't one who doesn't hato !
her. Were she obliged to catch them
for food in order to live, as is the !
case with Eeddy Fox and most of
the others who hunt those smaller j
than themselves, the feeling would j
be very different. These other hunt-?
ers hunt because they have to. Black
Pussy hunts because she want3 to.
Black Pussy has a way of following
Farmer Brown's Boy about when he,
doesn't go too far from the dooryard.
She is very fond of Farmer Brown's
Boy, and he is very fond pi her, al- \
though it troubles him greatly to hye
her hunt his little friends. He al?
ways sends her home when he sus?
pects her of hunting.
Black Pussy hud seen her master
go down along the edge of the Old |
Orchard for several mornings. He
never was gone very long and when
he returned he looked as if he had !
had a particularly pleasant time.
"I wonder what he does and why he !
goes," thought Black Puss.**. "I'll ?
follow him next time and see what I
can sec."
So the next morning when Farmer !
Brown's Boy started along the path
between the trees of the Old Orchard
and the old stone wall Black Pussy
wan just a little way behind him. ::
He didn't know it. No, sir, he didn't!
know it. She took good care of that.
Had he known that she was following
he would have sent her back in a
hurry Black Pussy suspected this,
and so whenever he turned his head
she crouched fiat in the grass beside '??
the path.
Half way along the path Fanner j
Brown's Boy sat down on the ground !
a** '- ?'mi. i'di "
Black Pussy's tail twitched with
eagerness
and began to take things from one of
his pockets. And then as if by magic
appeared Striped Chipmunk. Where
he came from Black Pussy didn't see.
One instant he wasn't there and the
next he was.
Black Pussy's tail twitched with
eagerness. Many times had she
tried to catch Striped Chipmunk, but
always he had been too smart for her,
whisking out of sight between the
stones of the old wall, where she
could not follow. Many, many hours
had she wasted waiting for him to
come out again where he had gone
in. only to have him pop up some?
where else. Now here he was out in
the open path! If only she could
surprise him out there she would
catch him.
And then her yellow eyes turned
almost green with jealousy. Yes, sir,
that is what they did?turned almost
green with jealousy! Striped Chip?
munk was running all over Farmer
Brown's Boy, climbing to his shoul?
der, peeping in his pockets, sitting
on his knee and stuffing the pockets
in his cheeks with things Farmer
Brown's Boy was giving him. Black
Pussy's tail twitched more than ever,
but now it was with anger. It was
jealous anger. She had made a dis?
covery, and she meant that Striped
Chipmunk should pay dearly for it.

crease of 1.5 per cent in the number!
at work in August as compared with !
July 81. A similar report for July!
showed an increase of 2.5 per cent as I
compared with Juno 30.
The report made by the committee on
labor relations of the Chamber of Com
mereo shows that the food products
group and tho textile groups hav?
shown continuous improvement since
the first of tho year. There has been
an increase of 27.8 per cent in the
number on the pay rolls of food prod?
ucts concerns in Cleveland, and an in?
crease of 20.6 per cent in the textile
concerns.
The chemicals group, including paint,
oil and chemical concerns, shows a de?
crease of 3.9 per cent for August as
comDarrd with July. Metal working'
concerns, other than iron and steel,
also show a steady decrease from the i
first of the year. The decrease for
August is 2.4 per cent and for the year:
ending August 81 21.4 per cent.
The automobile industry increased I
its personnel 73.5 per cent between !
January 31 and May 31. From May 31
to July 31 there was a decrease of
27.6 per cent. August shows an i
crease of 2.9 per cent. Some plants
are running on full time and most of
them have increased business. The
drop from May 31 to July 31 was partly
due to seasonal depression and partly
to the present general business leth?
argy.
In general, local business is appar?
ently more optimistic. In many quar?
ters increased inquiries and increased
business are reported.
The number employed in the ninety
nine firms surveyed was 55,547 in July
and 56,383 in August. In June it was
54,165.
Illinois Reports Decrease
In Applications for Jobs
Special Dispatch to Ths Tribune
CHICAGO, Sept, 11.?Atlhough no
figures as to the number of idle men in
Chicago arc available, the Illinois Free
Employment Bureau, which is main?
tained by the state, reports a slight
decrease in the number of unemployed
during the last two weeks. This con?
clusion is reached by the number of
applicants for jobs. In August there
were four men applying for each job
available. During the first ten days of
September the ratio was reduced to
three men for each job.
The situation in Chicago is inore
acute than in the smaller cities down
state. In the smaller cities when fac?
tories closed the jobless men imme?
diately started for Chicago in the hope
of landing some kind of a job.
In South Chicago, where the steel in?
dustry is the source of income for a
majority of the workers, there has been
an improvement. The Wisconsin Steel
Company, which had been working with
a reduced force for several months,
started up two furnaces this week.
This gave employment to approximately
1.000 men. The Standard Steel Car
Company, which has a plant in South
Chicago, will begin operations on a
more extended scale soon. The com?
pany recently contracted to repair 3,000
freight cars for an Eastern road. It
was said to-day that probably 200 extra
men would be added to the payroll.
It had been predicted that building
operations would be resumed on a large
scale following the fixing of a wage
scale by Judge Landis. But for the
present the situation is mixed. The
workers declare they will not accept
the award. A3 a rule, however, union
leaders predict that the reduction will
be accepted and that thousands of men
previously idle will be employed in the
industry.
Unemployed in Baltimore
Reach a Total of 29,000
BALTIMORE, Sept. 11.?Baltimore's

according to a statement issued by the
Merchants' and Manufacturers' Asso- ?
ciation to-day through its secretary, A. j
S. Goldsborough.
Some Baltimore factories are trying ;
to give big groups of jobless men a i
chance by working their forces on a

New Income Returns Demanded
Over Use of Inflated Values
From The Tribune's Washinaton Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.?Taxpayers j
who used appreciateei and inflated val
ues in determining invested capital in
their returns for 1917 and subsequent!
years were called upon to-day by the ?
Bureau of Internal Revenue to file new
returns by November 24 under penalty
of an additional assessment of 50 per
cent on the first year and 25 per cent'
on returns for the remaining years.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue has i
held consistently that the use of ap- !
preciated or inflated values in deter-j
mining invested capital is not permis-j
sible. This ruling has been sustained
by the United States Supreme Court in
the case of the Labelle Iron Works vs.

smartest of the fall fabrics favored for the
tailleur, is largely responsible for the ex?
ceptional charm of this exquisitely tailored
model.
The natural caracul fur used for the coat's
proudly upstanding collar and the border finish?
ing its side panels?which find themselves used
as pockets?strikes a chic note of contrast with
the material.
Following the straightest of lines this little
tailleur permits its coat to extend only to the
knee line and lines it in satin.
It may be chosen in three of the smartest
street colors?black, brown or navy blue.

Almost every family regards a
Grandfather's clock as the best heir?
loom that can be left to the children.
|
A good clock, properly made and well
? taken care of, can easily be kept going
| from generation to generation.
We have that kind of clock, and at the
present time, in combining two sections
of our business, we have a few more
than we have room to properly place.
This is fortunate for some people
who are just opening their houses after
the summer vacation, and who wish to
I make them look new and bright and can
I do so with a Grandfather's clock.
The musical voice of a good big clock
] in the corner seems like good company
; always in the house.
Hardly any piece of silver, picture or
j any other article could make such a
i friendly impression in the home as the
i chiming of a Grandfather's clock.
The few clocks that we have to sell
| will soon go.
They range in price from $45 to
j $1050.
A year ago none of them was less
than $78 and some as high as $1688.
The chiming clock costs more than the dock that strikes the hour
half hour.
The sizes of these clocks are so varied that one will be found to fit
room or hall, whether in a small apartment or a large house.
The cases are mostly of mahogany, a few of oak, and a few in lacquer.
The chimes ar? Westminster, Whittington and Canterbury.

The "Ampico" Makes
Our Dreams Come True
It stands in the corner of the room??
a shadowy something that pours out un?
aided the music that nearly every one
has in his soul, but that few are able to
produce themselves.
It plays as the master musician plays
?it reproduces exactly, by means of a
roll, the classical and popular music that
the famous pianists of the world play in
concert or recital.
As the Ampico plays?in our own
home?we look through the open window
into the sunlight and find?that our
dreams have come true.
Every Home Yearns for Music
?and the Ampico is the good fairy that
answers the call.
The Ampico is the foremost reproduc?
ing piano of the day?and the playing
mechanism is built within the great
pianos, forming:
The Chickering Ampico
The Schomacker Ampico
The Knabe Ampico
ALSO
The Marshall & Wendell Ampico
The Haines Ampico
