NEW HOMES IN VIEW.
FOR WAR WORKERS.
Contract Awarded for Dormi-
tories and Apartments at
23d and B Streets.
READY IN FOUR MONTHS

The housing bureau Of the Depart
ment of Labor estimated today that
1t will take four months, or until
about February 10, to complete the
dormitories and apartment houses to
be erected for war workers at 23d
and streets.
Contract for this project, which is
to consist of ten dormitories. twenty
eight apartment house buildings. one
infirmary and a combined cafeteria
and power building, was let yester-
day to Moss, Taylor & Crawford of
Philadelphia, on a lump-sum basis.
Waddy B. Wood, Washington archi-
tect, drew the plans. The project
will provide accommodations for 1902
persons. With this development added
to the dormitories now nearing COM
pletion on the Union station plaza,
the government will have erected ac-
commodation for approximately 5000
people.
Before the epidemic became SO seri-
Gus the government bureaus had
plans to bring about 1000 more peo-
pie here by the end of the year. If
this plan should be carried out the
houses at ODD and B streets would
not be ready in time to care for any
of that number.
May Retard Increase of Clerks.
The action of the Civil Service Com
mission, however. in urging all de-
partments to bring in as small a num-
Der of new employees as possible, for
the present, may postpone the arrival
OF majority of the additional 1000
workers until the houses at 23d and
streets are completed.
The United States home registration
service. 1414 H street, has nearly eX-
hausted it's efforts to place new work
ers in the private homes of the Dis
trict, which means that the bulk of
those who arrive during the balance
of this year must go into the houses
near Union station, which will be
completed about December /.
The dormitories at 23d and B streets
will be three stories high and will be
built in U-Shape. The cafeteria and
heating building will be in the center,
with five dormitories on either side.
The ten units will accommodate 1920
persons. Each room has clothes
closet, and is equipped with running
water, while each floor is amply pro-
vided with both shower and tub baths.
Each a Three-Story Building.
The twenty-eight apartment houses
are arranged around the three sides of
the residence hall group and face on
21st, 23d and c streets. Each of these
buildings is three stories high and
contains twelve very conveniently ar
ranged three-room apartments. This
makes a total of 336 apartments,
which will comfortably house 672 per-
sons even if such a low basis as two
persons to each family is used. Thus
the entire development will take care
of 2,292 war workers. The infirmary
will be built on the opposite side of G
street.
A simle style of colonial ar
chitecture will be used throughout.
The exterior walls are of airlock brick
with tapestry surface and roofs are
of slate. The cornices will be of wood
with tin cutters. All buildings will
be steam heated from the central
heating plant in the Administration
building.

Diving from n height of 1000 feet

An enemy submarine with two per-
iscopes and about 200 feet in length
was sighted by seaplane on patrol
duty. The seaplane descended $500
feet to height of 80 feet and dropped
two bombs as the German submerged.
One Of the bombs made a direct hit
just behind the coming tower. The
submarine turned upside down and
sank. Oil and wreckage later came
to the surface.

How Germans Destroyed
the Forests and Orchards
in Belgium and France

Apart from their cruelty to human
beings, one of the worst offenses per.
petrated by the Germans in Belgium
and that part of France which they
have overrun is the destruction Of
trees, notes the Indianapolis Star.
Wantonly to destroy orchards and for
est trees as they have done for the
purpose of making desert of the land
that had been like garden is crime
against civilization. In Belgium they
cut the forests, not as they cut their
own, where only q certain number Of
trees are allowed to be felied each
year. but sweepingly, leaving the land
denuded. A hundred years will be
needed to restore these forests, and
trees are needed for the welfare of
every land.
In this country we have been too
careless with our forests; they have
not been protected as they should be
since the pioneers first cleared enough
Of them away to make the farms. Now
we are beginning to realize their value
not only as direct source Of revenue,
but as an aid in conserving moisture
for cultivated lands and also as
source Of beauty. And If one wishes
to look at the matter. commercially,
beauty Of landscape is in these days
recognized as a distinct and valuable
asset. There is needed more trees
and a wider and better understanding
among the people as to what may and
should be done in the way Of planting
trees and improving forests.
1t Is among young people that this
interest in trees must be cultivated;
they must learn the Importance Of or
chards and forests and If love for
trees can be inculcated 1t will prove
itself in years to come by many tree
that is q glory to the land.

Efficient Lovemaking Man
Is One Favored by Majority
of Women, Asserts a Writer

To q woman the most interesting
thing about a man is his relation to
women. His manner of loving-or re-
fusing to love-is what really interests
her. According to writer In the New
York Mail. when woman. meets q
man she sizes him up, not as lawyer
or musician, or an actor, but as
lover. What sort Of a husband would
he make? ..
Says Miss Sydney Shields. once a
newspaper woman, now an actress: "A
certain physician, friend of mine,
once told me that, other things be-
ing equal, woman would in nine
cases. out Of ten choose man who had
loved many women in preference to
man who had loved none. Most scien-
lists agree with this"
I think 1t is Havelock Ellis who ex-
plains it in this wise: "Experience
with many women gives mans choice
greater value, and, secondly, the more
a man has sinned In this direction
the greater the woman's chance to
raise him to her own level. Every
woman will admit that she prefers the
man whom other women desire. AS
"Abe" Potash remarks, a woman looks
on every other woman as a competi-
tor. Even If other women don't really
desire the husband whom she loves,
she will still imagine they do, and
woman's imagination let loose Is
fearful and wonderful thing.
81 have discussed this subject with
different kinds of women. The con-
sensus of feminine opinion seems to
be that the wholly inexperienced Ro-
meo is a pill The man Of the world
knows how to make love, they say
and that's the all-important thing with
women. He makes the beautiful wom-
an think that she is intelligent, and
the intelligent woman think she is
beautiful; he is at all times the mas
ter Of the situation, and women, even
modern ones, adore a masterful man."

British Airmen Calmly Drop Bombs

LOndOn.--Under a heavy attack from
three German submarines and three
German destroyers, British seaplane
recently persisted In her efforts
against another enemy U-boat and sue
ceeded in sinking 1t before being dam
aged by the fire of the other enemy
warships.
The seaplane was on patrol duty at
$50 o'clock in the morning when n
submarine was sighted on the surface
with a man standing forward by the
gun. Increasing her speed, the sea-
plane dropped to an altitude of 600
feet and released bomb.
AS she swoOped around to repeat the
attack shell from the U-boat burst
In the air 80 feet from the propeller.
1t was seen that the bomb had made
a direct hit, a big. rent being visible
In the deck Of the submarine. Just
then out Of the mist ahead three more
enemy submarines, followed close by
three destroyers, appeared.
Attacked by Six Vessels.
All six vessels maintained a hot fire
against the seaplane. However, a sec

boat. 1t exploded 10 feet ahead Of
the bow Of the submarine. The whole
craft shook and then sank quickly in

Seaplanes also have accounted for

Rest Rooms For
Rural Women

Rest rooms have been established in
more than 200 counties in the United
States to meet the needs of the coun-
try woman in town on business. They
provide place, says the United States
department of agriculture, where the
farm woman has right, without ask
ing any favors, to the use of facilities
for rest and refreshment. They have
been established by women's rural or
ganizations in cooperation with other
focal organizations, with individuals,
and with village, town, or county au-
thorities; by business corporations
operating private city markets, and
by individual merchants. Where farm
womens organizations have been in
terested in establishing rest rooms. To-
cal farm women's clubs have been able
to arouse the necessary community in
terest in the need for rest rooms to In
sure their financial support. This has
been done through cooperating with
other local farm wOmen's clubs, with
organizations of women in town, with
civic leagues, with chambers of COM
,uerce, and with county agents.
In cooperating with other clubs In
establishing rest room, any local
farm woman's club may take the ini-
tiative. Opportunity is-given at club
meetings for discussing the need for
n rest room, and other local clubs may
be asked to arrange similar discus
sions. Such cooperation is facilitated
in rural communities where local clubs
meet together for joint sessions three
or four times year.
Through their organizations town
and country women have cO-operated
in providing rest rooms near railroad
stations, where the waiting-rOom fa-
cilities at the stations were made
,auate. They have co-operated in estab-
fishing libraries which provide conve-
nfent and adequate rest rooms for town
and country women. Aroused commu-
nifty interset frequently results in Sc
curing a vacant room in the town hall,
county courthouse, public market, or
other public building.
Frequently the county agent, as the
representative Of the rural interests OF
i, county, will take the initiative and
secure the cooperation Of the cham
ber Of commerce or the county commits
sioners.
Frequently rest rooms are provided
in dry goods stores and in grocery
stores. A rest rom ut Kalamazoo.
Mich, has been in use since 1887, and
has become the common meeting place
for country people living In different
directions from the city. The number
of country women dealing with these
bushes houses warranted the estab.
iishment of rest rooms by the proprie-
tors to meet the needs OF their Gus
toners.

For the Temporary Repair
OF Broken Spectacle Lens

Those who are so unfortunate a.
to have to wear glasses know vha,
inconvenience and discomfort are
caused by breaking lens and hav.
ing to wait for new one. Matters
are helped some II a repair can be
effected, states an authority. This Is
not always possible but II the break
Is a simple fracture, the following
method produces good repair:
Soften gum shellac In alcohol and
apply It to the edges to be cemented.
Press the edges firmly together and
hold In position for few minutes.
Then lay the lens on pad Of cotton
or soft cloth for an hour or two, SO
that the shellac may harden enough
to stand usage. Note that the shellac
is not to be dissolved in the alcohol
just soften until It can be spread
on the edges Of the glass.

! BACK YARD POULTRY

Uncle Sam expects you to keep hens
and raise chickens, even though you
do reside In town or city.
Two hens In the back yard for each
person In the house will keep a fam
lily in fresh eggs.
The smallest back yard has room
for flock large enough to supply the
house with eggs. The cost of main.
tanning such a flock Is small.
Table and kitchen waste provides
much of the feed for the hens and
they require but little attention.
An interested child, old enough to
take little responsibility, can care
for a few fowls as well as q grown
person.
Every back yard should contribute
its share to a bumper crop" of poul-
try and eggs in 1918. Perhaps not
all will find 1t profitable to raise
chicks in town, but nearly everyone
can well keep few hens. The OBJ
lection to the Growing Of the cock"
can be overcome by keeping no cock.
This will not affect egg production in
the least.
The house for the backyard flock
should be inexpensive. A piano box
or other large box may readily be
converted into suitable residence for
the hens, and the runs may b5 very
small.
Good hens, well cared for. viii pro
dnce from ten to fifteen dozen eggs
annually.
In time Of peace the backyard flock
may be regarded as a profitable rec
rtatiou; In time of war; patriotic
duty.
Buy few hens ard start In at once.
All hena are laying now or will be
soon.
