FOR SELF-ASSERTION
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Feb. 27.—
Members of the graduating class of

dent Wilson be so amended as to
make a definite demand for the inde
pendence of Porto Rico are now fear
ful that their action will result in re
fusal to appoint them teachers in the
public schools.
The commissioner, of education,
Paul G. Miller, has sent to the dean
of the university a letter in which the
commissioner said that his attention
had been called to the action of the
students, and added:
“Since this request is made by per
sons who are American citizens and
at a time when the nation has been
exceedingly careful to scrutinize the
loyalty of all its citizens, you are here
by directed to furnish me with a list
of any members of the graduating
class of the normal school who may
desire to enter teaching service. 1
shall not appoint or approve the nomi
nations by school boards of persons
whose loyalty to the United States of
America there may be any doubt.
Please let me have the list.”

GOVERNMENT SHOULD AID
IN BUILDING HOMES
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.—Neglect
of housing by the United States gov
ernment is shameful, declared Robert
D. Kohn, architect and former United
States shipping board official, in an
address he delivered before the Oc
tavia Hill association.
“Why, even little Cuba appropriated
several millions for this purpose be
fore the war,” declared Mr. Kohn.
"Why have we been so remiss? Prob
ably because we have a naive belief
in the all-efficiency of private initia
tive. People make most money out of
building expensive houses. Conse
sequently no houses are built for the
man who receives low wages, and he
has to live in houses no one else
would have.”
Mr. Kohn approved the plan of
Massachusetts, where, he said, the
State loans money at a low rate of in
terest so that low-cost houses can be
built.
“In England,” continued Mr. Kohn,
“Premier Lloyd George already has.
announced a colossal housing pro
gram, one hundred millions, I believe.
It is part of their reconstruction pro
gram, and supplementary to their war
time efforts in that direction.”

Quite a stir was caused in MEN’S TRADE during January by
some manufacturers announcing a reduction of prices in some
lines. The result was that the merchants became puzzled as to what
course they should pursue with stocks on hand which were bought
at high prices. *
The reasons for this are now very plain. Some merchants
had been speculating, others were long on certain lines which
they wished to turn into cash. With very few exceptions the mar
ket on woolen and cotton goods continues very firm.
One of the above exceptions is Denim, which is used in the
manufacture of OVERALLS, and we are glad to announce the
following changes in our Overall prices:
Fink’s Tan Jumper, $3.00; new. price ... $2.25
Fink’s Best Blue Jumper, $3.00; new price .. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Bib Overall, $3.00; new price. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Waist Overall, $2.25; new price. 2.00
Everwear Blue Bib Overall, special . 2.00
We also have a few EXTRA SPECIALS which are well j
worth your inspection. i
One lot of Gray'Wool Sox, 75c; new price, 50c;

and $4.00; now $2.75.
