Running the trains for all the
Sammies In France is some job,
but, railroad men say, one man
big enough for 1t is the one Uncle
Sam has picked, William w. At
terbury, vice president of the
Pennsylvania lines.
He will be director general of
transportation of the United
States expeditionary forces in
France. Atterbury began his
railroad career as an apprentice
in the shops. He has been work
ing under General Pershing since
August, getting troops and sup
plies from seaports to the Ameri-
can camp.

The houses are of the best
frame construction, on stone foun-
dations, each with cellar, electric
light, modern fixtures, and above
all plenty OF spacious porches and
windows. Wide lawns surrounds
them.
They rent at from $14 to SIC a

Some contain four rooms and
some six.
Sells Them, Too.
My judgment is that the same
type of house in the same kind OF
suburb in the average American
city rents-if II can be rented
for from $40 to $50 a month.
The company is willing to sell
any workman a house at actual
cost. The prices of the houses
and lots run from $500 to $4,000.
The workman who buys pays
nothing down. The house which
contains two four-room flats can
be bought with a payment of SAL
month, from which $14 can be
deducted for the rental of one
apartment, bringing the monthly
payment down to $27. The others
run in proportion, the highest
monthly payment being $29. The
fire insurance is paid for three
years in advance, the taxes until
November, 1918.
Insures Buyers.
The company insures the life Of
every man who buys house, for
$500, gratis. Men who have pur-
chased from the company are
placed on a preferred list-they
will be the last men to be dis
charged in case of a let-down In
plant production.
"Then you have solved the
housing problem!" I suggested.
II should say not!" said Quaint
ance. 1.-The company is putting up
a new half-million-dollar addition

men to live. / don't know"
And there, Mr.. and Mrs. Tacoma
Times Reader is the situation In
a typical town where the employer
has invested a big sum of money
to try to meet the pressure for
more and cheaper houses.
Such investment does not solve
the problem; it does help--a little.
I must delve deeper to find the
rest of the answer.
