TO BUILD 800
WORKERS HOMES

Plans are nearing completion today
for the construction of 800 six-room
houses in southeast Washington by
the Navy Department for its employees
here at the Navy Yard. The houses
will cover fve blocks, and are be-
lieved to be the largest construction
job of its kind ever proposed in Wash
ington.
A local concern, waggaman & Ray,
architects, are drawing, the plans for
the work. They expect to turn the
plans over to the Bureau of Industrial
Housing the latter part of this week.
The location of the proposed project
is bounded by East Capitol street and
Massachusetts avenue on the north
and south and Seventeenth to Nine
teenth streets on the east and west
The houses win be modern and well
equipped with conveniences. An esti-
mate of the cost. of construction has
not yet been given.
Since war was declared large struc-
lures for the Government have sprung
up here with mushroom-like rapidity,
but this project of building 800 houses
has finger marks of being one OF the
greatest architectural feats in this
city. -.

BIG CROP MIRAGE
DELUDES AUSTRIA

BASLE, Aug. 1s.-The official cor
respondence bureau of Vienna is
again sending out crop reports OF the
most roseate hue. says the Basic Ma
tional Zeitung. The bureau, in Joyful
exultation, predicts a record crop. and
its elation knows no bounds when II
points to the fact that harvesting is
to begin two weeks earlier than last
year.
This exultation caused by a gain
Of two paltry weeks shows the hor-
ribIe state of famine and distress in
all its nakednesS II the masses OF
the Austrian people were not suffer-
ing the pangs of hunger it would not
be necessary to crow about two
weeks, for whether two weeks earlier
or not they will not alter the volume
of the crop.
However. in former years OF the
war there were heard the same
roseate crop reports. They were the
same every year. And later It was
found the roseate hue of the crop re-
ports had been made TO order. The
longer the telegraph line the more
roseate these reports would become.

COMING TO HELP
GIRL WAR WORKERS.

Mrs. John D. ockefeller. jr., whose

Washington several months ago re-
suited in the y. W. C. A. plan for
building a hotel on Union Station
plaza for girl war workers, is COM
ing to Washington this week to again
take up the housing problem.
1t Is thought that Mrs. Rockefeller,
who has given up social activities TO
help girl war workers solve their
tramp for rooms" has something
new up her sleeve this time.
The last time she was in Washing
ton she devoted her time to plans for
construction of the Hotel Petro-
grad" which is to be used by women
and girls who come here to work
while they are seeking permanent
Quarters
This enterprise of one of the
worlds wealthiest women has at
tracted much interest in social cir
cles. The hotel will be modelled like
the Hotel Petrograd in Paris. II
will be three or four stories in height
and will accommodate from 300 to
400 girls. Double and single rooms
will be offered The price of room
and board will range from $35 to $40
a month.
