But others, who )mow the mining towns, say that the squalor is the consequence of the miners' own habits, and that if they were provided with tiled bathroom marble basins, and other equipment of a fine home. they would soon have everything so blackened and misused that the quarters would be mistaken- for a stable. There is evidently room for a great deal of "uplift" work in connection with the miners' home life, and surroundings, but no "up- lift" city on this continent has yet' solved the problems of "foreigner slums," and most of the miners are foreigners, and many of them not the better class of laborer. The facts regarding the miners' hours and pay have .been officially ascertained by the Washington De- partment of Labor. For hand - miners, over a half -month period that was taken as a period of inves- tigation, the average was 4.7 hours a day, or 60 hours for the month. Their actual earnings for the two- week period averaged. $47,11. With full time, their earnings would have been More than ..$80. That is, the. pay averaged $23 a week, and could have been $40 a week on. full time. This shows either that the com- panies are not operating as much as they should, or that the miners are not working enough.- Seven hours a day may be regarded as a fair day in a coal mine, and it -seems hardly possible that only four and a fraction should be worked over a whole half -month period. The Washington bureau makes no attempt to place the responsibility, beyond pointing out that in the bituminous fields of Pen- nsylvania, the mines were kept in operation 79 per cent. of the full time, while the hand miners worked only 76 per cent. Machine miners worked harder, being on the job 93 per cent. of the 79 per cent. mine operating time. During the war the wages of the- bituminous miners have been raised 43 per cent., while the SINCE 11870 30 MCOUGHS immix Rests, Refreshes, Ssothcs; a!!E Beals ---Keep Your Eyes Strong and Healthy.

The average earnings per hour are 78 cents' an hour, compared with anthracite miners' average of 82 cents. The principal demands of the miners' leaders were for a six -hour day, and 60 per cent. increase in wages. It seems that, on the aver- age, the_ miners work less than the minimum now stipulated, while the 60 per cent. iitcrease would) make their pay $1.25 an hour. These de- mands could not be granted without increasing the. price Of bituminous coal several dollars a ton. What the impartial outsider would like to dis- cover is how the coal operators ac- tually fare, in the matter of profits,' • and whether they have any under-. standing relating to the keeping down of output. The war demands of the United States and this country caused an enormous expansion ,of bituminous production, but since the war ended, a large proportion of the Russians, Scandinavians, Austrians, Bulgarians, Italians, and others in the mines have gone back to Europe, leaving the -mines short-handed. The general demand for rough labor, at high wages, also handicapped the coal mine production, But no class of rough labor is getting more than a dollar an hour now, and the crax of the bituminous strike question seems to be why the miners do not make a better wage by working harder, - In most of the mining towns, the houses are owned by the operating, companies. The houses ' are rented to the miners at ten to twenty-five dollars a month, but the latter class of house, is comparatively speaking, de luxe. The companies have stores also, and sell at cost, or on a close margin. . Open fields usually sur- rounding the towns are used by the families of the miners for vegetable growing. Their living expenses are, therefore, comparatively low far low- er than the city mechanic who draws his dollar an hour, and pays hold-up prices. Notwithstanding this, six and eight miners to a room, is frequently found. And :loose furniture has a habit of disappearing. A philanthro- pist in -Pittsburg some years ago had the idea that he would improve the lot of , the miner -folk. He .built a model ,.tenement, with baths and other conveniences. Two months after, he visited his tenants, to discover the baths filled with coal, the sewage sys- tem • slogged with garbage and run- bish, and parts of the plumbing torn• out and sold to a junk dealer. Not all miner's are like this, of course. In one field a Belgian settlement is composed. of pretty, substantial houses and has stores, a dairy; and many other community facilities owned and operated by the Belgian women. One thing that keeps these miner communities poor is the remittance system. Every month, about half of the wages paid out goes into the bank to await remittance to the old folks at home, or is remitted without - delay. During the war, the cutting off of a large part of the remittances led to remarkable accumulations in the banks, and many of these ac- cumulations were then taken home personally. Generalizations are dan- gerous to fairness, however, . and accusations along this line, in ex- tenuation of the squalor and filth that marks so ni.uch mining town' life, do not always hit the mark. It is improbable that these foreign Finers, who so promptly .-.imbibed Bolshevist ideas, will go back ,to work until they have to, but their general conditions • leads to the pros- pect that the "have to" stage will not be long delayed. ENGLAND'S DISPUTE ABOUT FRAME HOUSES The prejudice being exhibited. in England toward frame houses seems curious to the Canadian mind. Not many frame houses are built now in the larger Canadian cities. because fire regulations and the high cost of lumber stand in the way. The sever- ity c1f the winters makes brick or stone more substantial. But England has a climate that resembles the British Columbia coast, and in Van- couver, Victoria and other coast cities the frame residence is the • regular • thing. And in the hands . of British Columbia builders, who are so fam- iliar with timber and woodwork, they become things of beauty. The attempt to introduce frame dwell- ings in England does not rise from an excess of lumber, or cheapness of it, but simply because the Ma- terials for a sufficient number of brick or stone houses cannot be obtained. . Army huts, • tents, river boats and shacks are occupied. by hundreds of thousands of people waiting for more houses. The Government housing plan contemplates the erection of at least 300.000 more dwellings, but like most Government plans, the scheme gets great advertising with little re- sult. Dr, Addison. Minister of -Health, recently stated that in England :00,000' houses were required. Hous- ing schemes provided for 40,000, and of these about 8,000 were being erect- ed. It may be mentioned that in -1919 Toronto alone is building 2,500 new houses. Such slowness creates a de- mand for a substitute. The editor of the Spectator, .J. St. Leo Strachey, advocates cottages of rammed earth, technically known as "pise en terre." Others are booming hollow -concrete blocks. But the wooden house is'rnost favored. and the newspapers have been conducting an educational campaign. Wooden houses are rare, but not un- known. In Kent and Essex, "weather- board" houses have stood the test of a hundred years. The economic ar- gument for thein seems unanswerable. A "mill -cut" cottage can be erected at a cost of about $1,400, against $2,000 required for a small brick or stone house. In larger houses the cost would be from two-thirds to one-half that, of. brick houses. Dr. Addison objects b the scheme, however, be- cause., e- cause, he says. the "mill -cut" houses are only four walls with a roof clap- ped on. He figures they are, in the end, only six per cent. ,cheaper than substantial brick houses, and claims that the damp climate is against them, But British Columbia has.' a damp climate, , and so has Norway, Where frame houses abound. The fire risk is met there• by having detached dwel- lings, located in the small towns and villages in such a way• that risk is kept to a minimum. A very substantial difficulty in the way is the obstruction offered by the local ordinances or "by-laws" in most districts. The requirements imposed by these by-laws are often absolutely prohibitive of the erection of any wooden houses. But the Ministry of Health has the power to supersede them ° by general regulations of its own, and it was announced a few days ago that steps are to be taken in this direction. The Ministry declares et- self eager to investigate the . whole question, and to that end it has ac- cepted the offer of the Agent -General for British Columbia to send over a sample ' house, which is to be placed on public view, so that its advantages and disadvantages may be impar- tially weighed, In contrast with this is the offer of William F. Regan, once well known in the mining world, who undertakes to deliver in various . English ports 60,000 Ameri- can wooden houses within one year, at the rate of 5,000 every 3 weeks, from: a given date, at prises ranging front £250 to £750' each. These, he says, will not be disreputable, cast- off, worn-out army, huts, but artistic residences, furniture saving, labor sav- ing, warm in winter, cool in summer, and fit for any man to occupy, be he a workingman or a capitalist. As the situation isto-day, the ques- tion of the comparative merits of the wooden and the brick house is rapid- ly becoming irrelevant. The wooden house may be cheaper or dearer than the brick house; it may be less dur- able urable or more; it may run greater risks of being burned down or it may not; it may or may not be as comfortable as the house in which the Englishman has hitherto been accustomed to live. The great thing is that the wooden house is a house. Every other con- sideration is nowadays beside the point. • It is no longer a question o£ the ideal place to live in. There are tens of thousands of people in Eng- land just now who would jump at the chance of getting a _ house of any kind or pattern. At the Manchester City Council last week it was declar- edif thebuilding that ui bng of municipal houses ptoceeded only at the present rate it would be twenty years before the local building scheme was com- pleted. The shortage affects the middle and working classes alike, and it extends all. over the country.

David Jlarum Continued from Page 7 dilemas, but in a moment of inadver- tence had left the shoe question to him, with the result that he had put on one russet shoe and one black one, and had laced them up before dis- covering the discrepancy." "I don't see anything. very difficult in that situation," remer ked John. "Don't you?" she said scornfully. "Ne, I suppose not, but it was .quite enough for Julius, and .more than enough for my sister and me: His first notion was to take off both shoes and begin. all over again, and per-. haps if he had been allowed to carry It out he would have been all right; but Alice was silly enough to sug- gest the obvious thing to him—to take off one, and put on the mate to the other—and then the trouble began. First he was in favor of the black shoes as being thicker in the sole, and then he reflected that they hadn't been blackened since corning on board. It seemed. to him that the russets were more appropriate anyway, but the blacks were easier to lace. ' Had' I noticed wheedler the men on board were wearing russet or black as -a reale, and did Alice remember whether it was one of the russets or one of the blacks that he was saying the other day pinched his toe? He didn't quite like the looks- of a russet shoe. with dark trousers, and called us to witness that those he had on were dark; but he thought he rembered that it was the black she which pinched him. He supposed he could change his trousers —and so n, and so on, al fine, de capo, ,ad lib., s iclung out first one foot and then the dither, lifting them alternately to his knee for scrutiny, appealing now to Alice and now to nee, and getting rnore hopelessly bewildered all the time. It went on that way for, it. seemed to me,. at least half an hour, and at last I said, `Oh, come now, Julius, take off the brown shoe—it's too thin, .and doesn't go -with your dark trousers; and pinches your toe, and none of 'the men are wearing them —and just put off on the other black 'one, and come along.

Why—why- 1 believe I'd better not go out this morning, don't You?" "And then?" said John after a pause. "Oh," she replied, I looked at Alice and she shook her head as much to say, `It's no use for the present,' and I fled the place." "M'm!" muttered John. "He must have been a nice traveling companion, Has it been like that .all the time?" "Most of it," she said, "but not quite all, and this morning was rather an exaggeration of the regular thing. But getting started on a journey was usually pretty awful. Once we quite missed our train because he couldn't make up 'his mind whether to put on a light overcoat ora heavy one. I finally settled the question for him, but we were just too late." "You must be a very amiable per- son," remarked John. "Indeed, I am not," she declared,` "but Julius is, and- it's almost impos- sible to be really put out with him, particularly in his condition. I have come to believe that he can not help it, and he submits to my bullying with such sweetness that even my. impatience gives way." "Have you three people been alone together all the time ?" John asked. "Yes," she replied, "except for four or five weeks. We visited some Amer- ican friends in Berlin, the Nollises, for a fortnight, and after our visit to them they traveled with us for three weeks through South Germany and Switzerland. We parted with them at Metz only about three weeks since." "How did Mr. Carling seem while you were all together ?" asked John, looking keenly...at her. . "Oh," sheer;rplied, "he war, more like hi iself4 i , I have seen him for a long ti°tnet-`-since he began' to break down, in fact. . He turfied hfs eyes from her ,face as she looked •up at him, and as he did not speak she said suggestively, "You are thinking - something you , don't quite like to say, But I think I know pretty nearly what- it is." "Yes?" said John, with a'query. "You think he has had too much feminine companionship, or had it too exclusively, Is that it? You need not be afraid to say so." "Well," said John, "if you put it too exclusively,' I will admit that there was -something of that sort in my mind, and," he added, "if you will let me say so, it must at times have been rather hard for him to be in- terested or amused—that it must have —that is to say " "Oh, say it" she exclaimed. "It must have been very dull for him. Is that it?" " `Father,' " said . John with a gri- mace, " `i can not tell a lie!' " "Oh," she said, laughing, "your hatchet isn't very sharp. I forgive you.. But really," she added, "I know it has been. You will laugh when I tell you the one particular resource' we fell back upon." "Bid me to laugh, and I will laugh," said John. .

"Ohl" she cried, with an expression of loathing, "may I never, never, never see a card again as long as I live!'] John laughed without re- straint, and after a petulant -little moue she joined them. "May I light up icily pipet" he said, "I will get to Ieeward." "1 shall not mind in the least," she assented. "By the way," he asked, "does Mr. Carling smoke?" "He used' to," she replied; "and while we were with the Nollises he smoked every day, but after we left them be fell back into the notion that it was . bad for him." John filled and lighted his pipe in silence, and after a satisfactory puff or two said: "Will Mr. Curling go in to dinner to -night?" "Yes," she replied, "I think he will if it is no rougher than at present." "It will probably be smoother," said John, "You must introduce me to him " "Oh," she interrupted, "of;,course, but it will hardly be necessary, as Alice and I have spoken so often to him of you- ,-d' _ "I was going to say," John resum- ed, "that he may possibly let rile take him off your hands a little, and after dinner will be the best time. I think if I can get him into the smoking room that a cigar and—and—something hot with a bit of lemon peel and so forth later on may induce him to visit with me for a while, and pass the evening, or part of it." - "You want to be an angel!" she ex- claimed. "Oh, I—we—shall be so obliged. I );now it's just what he ,wants=• -some men to take - him in hand." "I'm in no hurry to be an angel," said John, laughing, and, with a bow, "It's better sometimes to be near the rose than to be the rose, and you are proposing to overpay me quite. I shall enjoy doing what I proposed, if it be possible." Their talk then drifted off into var- iuus channels as topics suggested themselves until the ship's bell sound- ed the luncheon hour. Mass Blake went to join her sister and brother-in- law, but John had some bread and cheese and beer in the smoking room. It appeared that the ladies had better success than in the morning, for he saw them later on in their steamer chairs with Mr. Carling, who was huddled in many wraps, with the flaps of his cap down over his ears. All the chairs were full;—his own includ- ed (as happens to easy -tempered' menj • —and he had only a brief colloquy with the party. He noticed; however, that Mr. Carling had on the russet shoes, and 'wondered if they pinched him. In fact, though he couldn't have said exactly why, he rather hoped 'that they did. He had just that symp- athy for the nerves of - two -and -fifty which is to be expected•from those of five-and-twenty—that is, very little. When he went in to dinner the 'Carlings and Miss, Blake had been at table some 'minutes; There had been the usual controversy about what Mr. Carling would drink with his dinner, and he had decided upon Apollinaris water. But Miss Blake, with an idea of her own, had given an order for champagne, and was exhibiting some consternation, real or assumed, at the fact of having a -bottle brought in with the cork extracted—a customary trick at sea. "I hope you will help me out," she said to John as he bowed and seated himself. " 'Sonia one has blundered,' and here is a whole bottle of cham- pagne which must be drunk to save it. Are you prepared to help turn my, or somebody's blunder into hospital- ity?" "I am ;prepared to make any sacri- fice," said John, laughing, "in the sacred cause." , "No less than I expected of you," she said. "Noblesse oblige! Please fill your glass," "Thanks," said John. "Permit me," and he filled her own as well. As the meal proceeded there was some desultory talk about the weather, the ship's run, and so on; but Mrs. Carling was almost silent, and her husband said but little more. Even Miss Blake- seemed to have .something on her mind, and contributed but little to the conversation. Presently Mr. Carling said, "Mary, do you think a mouthful of wine would hurt me?" "Certainly not," was the reply. "It will do you good," reaching over for his glass and pouring the wine. "That's enough, that's enough!" he protested as the foam came up to the rim of the glass. She proceeded to fill it up to the brim and put it be- side him, and later, as she had op- portunity, " kept it replenished. As the dinner concluded, John ,said to Mr. Carling. "Won't you go up to the smoking room with me for coffee? I like a bit of tobacco with mine, and I have some really good cigars and some cigarettes—if you prefer them— that I can vouch for." .As usual, when the unexpected was presented to his mind, Mr. Carling passed the perplexity on to his women folk. At this time, however, his din- ner iiiner and the two glasses of wine which Miss Blake had contrived that he should swallow had braced him up, and John's suggestion was so warmly seconded by the ladies that, after some feeble protests and misgivings, he yielded, and John carried him off. "I hope it won't upset Julius," said Mrs. Carling doubtfully. "It won't do anything of the sort," her sister replied. "He will get through the evening without worry- ing himself and you into fits, and, if Mr. ` Lenox succeeds, you won't see anything of him till ten • o'clock or after, and not then, I hope. Mind, you're to be sound asleep when he conies in—snore a'little if necessary —and let him get to bed without any talk at all." "Why do you say 'if Mr. Lenox suc- ceeds'?" asked Mrs. Carling. "It was his suggestion," Miss Blake answered. "We had been talking a- bout Julius, and he finally told me he thought he would' be the better of an occasional interval of masculine soci- ety, and I quite agreed with him. You know how much he enjoyed being with George Nollis, and how much like himself he appeared." "That is true," .said Mrs. Carling. "And you know that just as soon as he got alone again with us two women he began backing and filling as badly as ever. I believe Mr. Lenox is right, and that Julius is just pet- ticoated to death between us." "Did Mr. Lenox say that?" asked Mrs. Carling iiicredulously. "No," said her sister, laughing, "he didn't make use of precisely that figure, but that was what he thought plainly enough." What do you think pi Mr. Lenox?", said Mrs. Carling irrelevantly. "Do you like him? I thought that he look- ed at you. very admiringly once er • twice to -night," she ' added, with her eyes on her sister's face. I "Well," said Mary, with a petulant toss of the head, "except that I've had about an , hour's talk with him, and that I knew him when we; were children—at least when 1 was a child, he is a perfect stranger to me, and I do wish," she added in a tone of annoyance, "that you would give ues that fad of yours, t ont every man n who comes alongisgongto-to be a nuisance." "Ile seems very pleasant," said Mrs.. Carling, meekly ignoring her sister's: reproach. "Oh, yes,' she replied indifferently, "he's pleasant enough. Let us go etee and have a. walk on deck. I want you to be sound asleep when Julius comes in." (COntinued next week). What COMFORT LYE 3 1 1 1 Comfort Lys is a very powerful cleanser.
