FIND ECONOMY IN
3-FAM|LY HOUSES
Tenement House Com
mittee of Charity Or
ganiZatiOn Joins Move
to Make Old Homes
Available.

Paul D. Cravath, as chairman Of
the Tenement House Committe of the
Charity Organization Society of New
York has announced the withdrawal Of
opposition to the three family house
movement.
Amendments to the Lawson bill,
which aims at re-establishing such
dwellings for the benefit of owners
and builders in many parts of the
Greater City. New York, has been ac-
cepted. They eliminate the unsanitary
features, which made the original
measure Objectionable.
'The typical three story house con-
verified into a three family tenement
under the proposed bill will doubtless
contain, as the lower of the three
apartments, an apartment consisting
of kitchen, dining room and bathroom
in the basement and bedrooms on the
first story, and there is, of course, an
objection to thus multiplying the
number of buildings containing base
ments thus used,' said Chairman
Cravath; "but the objection is not
deemed serious enough to outweigh
the probable advantages.
Behind all these lies the radical
question as to the wisdom of legisla-
ton intended to encourage the con-
version Of existing three-story and
basement residences into three family
apartments. There are many thou
sands of such residences in Greater
New York, chiefly in Brooklyn and in
the older portions Of Manhattan,
which are now of little value to their
owners and Of small service to the
community. Many are occupied as
unregulated boarding or lodging
houses and many others are vacant.
The existence Of these houses under
present conditions results in a very
considerable economic waste, which
should be avoided if this can be done
without sacrificing the health and
comfort of the people who would live
in the converted buildings.
THE leading citizens of Brooklyn
who are interested in the subject
both from the point Of view of hous-
ing reform and the interests Of the
community as a whole, including the
officers of the Brooklyn Bureau of
Charities, are practically unanimous
in their advocacy of the bill in its
amended form. and of the policy of
encouraging the conversion Of three
story dwellings into the three-family
tenements. Most Of these buildings
will continue to be used in some form.
They are now practically immune
from official regulation or inspection.
A majority of the committee believes
that it is to the interest of the COM
munity that it be made economically
possible to convert them into three
family tenement houses, provided with
fire. escapes and other essential safe
guards for the protection of life and
health, and subject to inspection and
regulation Of the Tenement House
Department.
There may be. and probably will
be. some gain in lowering rents.
There will be distinct gain in the
extent to which the conversion of
these dwellings into three family tene-
mcnts will lessen the erection of large
housing units, with the resulting con-
geStion.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The hest thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and is
soft. fresh looking. bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.-Adv.
