PLANS OF BUREAU
IN HOME BUILDING
Private Interests Given
Chance to Aid in Housing
War Workers.
CITIES TO COOPERATE

The housing bureau Of the Depart
ment of Labor Is receiving indica-
tions from a number OF war-congest-
cd cities that private interests in
those cities are willing to undertake
the building projects necessary to re-
lieve housing conditions.
Under the $6o.0o0.000 housing bill.
signed yesterday by the President.
the chief executive. through the
housing bureau. is authorized to lend
so per cent Of the cost of a project to
outsiders who are willing to do the
building.
omcials of the housing bureau hope
they will be able to make such an
arrangement in as many cities as pos
sible where houses for war workers
are needed. 1t was pointed out that
where the homes are to be OF per-
manent nature, this plan would he
community in which the building is
done.
Permanent Homes a Benefit.
Attention has been called to the fact
that since permanent homes will be
an improvement to the city, 1t is logi-
cal that interests in that city should
advance 20 per cent of the constru>-
ton cost. The sale of the houses or
the rental from them. it is pointed out.
can be used to pay of the so per cent
loan which the government advances.
The loans will run for fifteen years
at 5 per cent.
Officials of the housing bureau made
1t clear today that private investors
will not be permitted to make profit
off houses on which the government
lends 80 per cent of the construction
cost. Although homes built on t.lis
plan will be sold or rented by the in
terests which build them, these IN
terests will be strictly under the SUI
pervision of the housing bureau.
Rates to War Workers.
The bureau will not permit private
interests who build houses under this
plan to rent them to war workers for
more than 20 per cent of the workers
salary.
The housing bureau has not decided
whether the houses will be offered
for sale as soon as they are built
or after the war.
It is not likely that private capital
will take any part in the erection of
clerks in Washington. for which
Congress included 100000 in the
appropriation for housing. These
nature and will be on government
property The houses to be erected
in the southeast for navy yard and
steel plant employees, however, will
come out Of the $50.000.000 appropri-
ated for housing industrial workers
at war plants.
At war plants where local interests
make no offer to do the building with
an 80 per cent loan from the govern
ment the housing bureau will do the
building itself.

IN VICTORY PARADE

Girls and flags made up 50 per cent
of the parade that swfrled through
the streets of Columbia this after
noon in celebration of Germanys sur
render
Perhaps the men, autos and guns
made up more than per cent, but it
didn't seem that way to onlOokers.
Girls rode in autos, girls rode in
motor trucks, and girls marched with
the S. A. T. c. men. One soldier had
a girl on each arm.
Big American flags. little American
flags and medium-sizeN American
flags waved over shoulders and from
autos.
A few French flags appeared. An
auto bore banner made up of the
flags of all the Allies.
Proclamations printed in red ink
called on all stores to close in the

the sidewalks and streets along the
route of the parade.

Boggs, Dean ]. c. Jones, acting presi-
dent of the University. Major c. NJ
Gordon. and Captain Dr. Guy L. Moves,
in car driven by c. B. Bowling. left
the University campus at 2 o'clock.
A mounted marshal, bearing the flags
of the Allies, came next, followed by
the band.
A Red Cross ambulance, followed by
Red Cross stretcher, came next.
Other features of the parade were
Red Cross nurses, the Home Guards,
and r. o. T. c. men.
The parade marched down Eighth
street, up Broadway on the right past
Stephens College, and down Broadway
on the left to Tenth street, out past
Christian College, and back on Ninth
street.
Then it was supposed to disband.

One car bore the name of the City
Emergency Hospital, and was filled
with nurses.
Business houses sent out their mo-
tor trucks, which were quickly loaded
with girls. Soldiers, too, climbed
aboard until loads were far beyond
capacity. On an upgrade those at the
rear would jump off and push.
Red. white and blue paper hats of
all styles were popular.
