are being constructed with cafeteras,
central auditoriums and small recrea-
ton halls. Apartment houses, group
dwellings,, semi detached houses and
cottages, both for skilled and unskiled
labor, are in process Of construction
Two great questions were before the
commission when it began to plan for
the spending of this fund and for the
still larger funds which it is conf
IDENTIFY expected will shortly have to be
placed at its disposal. The first was as
to the character of construction
whether it should be temporary or per
manent. The second was whether the
money should be loaned in part or in
whole to local agencies, or whether the
whole thing should be kept under gov
crnment control.
The first question has not been
brought to any general conclusion. The
small amount of money available as
compared to the needs and the time
necessary to construct permanent
buildings gives a decided tendency tow
ard the rushing Of temporary work.

laughed.
All Of which illustrates this point:
Modern naval warfare no LONGER
reckons upon "invisibility" as a dcfen
slVe factor in ship camouflage against
enemy submarine attacks. All that sor+
OF thing is an exploded fallacy. In.
deed, authorities finally have arrived
at the conclusion generally that paint
itself, being dependent upon light. will
not overcome shadows. AS a matter Of
fact, the cid masters discovered that
truth many centuries ago.
And the young man to whom we have
alluded as Tom happened on the above
occasion TO know what he was talking
about. He afterward explained that a
friend OF his was a famous artist who
was an expert camouheur in the service
Of the camouflage department of tho

There Are ESQ
Ways Of Doing 1t.

Many ard brave have been the at
tempts to house the workingman. For
merely manufacturer wishing to
house his employees hired local builder
and went ahead. Mill villages" de-
pressing rows of detached houses, were
the result.
Some go housing developments
good, bad and Indifferent, including
employers enterprises and model hous-
ing schemes, exist to-day. American
architects are just now beginning to
realize the advantages of the group
house which has been used with sue
cess in England for many generations
Those who look favorably upon it say
that it is easy to heat. that it costs
less to build and that because Of its
better proportions better designs may
be used III its construction.
Those who cling to the dctached
house associate the group house with
the terrace" as it is called in the
Middle West, long row Of stereotyped
and monotonous houses. But it is
rather question of taste and intelli-
gence on the part Of the builder than
that either one type of house or the
other should be in the majority. Group
houses may be varied. Detached houses
may nave the monotony of the mill
village"
1t is not the intention of the govern
ment in the person of the housing ad
ministration to foist any pet scheme
of housing upon the public. Certain
standard types of houses for permanent
construction, however, have been
evolved by the Industrial Housing Bu-
rcau.
Nine types OF houses are provided

Difficulty of
Choosing a Policy

The corporation has finally decided
against making loans to cities or firms
for housing purposes, after having
trled IN vain to work out a suitable
method of doing this. 1t proved i'm
possible to reach any general or salts
factory agreement with those seeking
the loans as to terms and the propor-
ton of funds to be furnished bv each
sac TO the agreement. The negotia-
tons took up considerable time and
showed no sign of reaching a con-
clusion, and so were abandoned
different policy has been pursued
by the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
which has the administration of the
second $50,00O,0O0 fund. It's division
OF housing and transportation controls
the disbursement for transportation
and living accommodations in and
about the shipyards. Its policy is to
make appropriations from its fund as
loans to the subsidiary corporations,
which build the properties according to
their own estimates of the need of per
manency. The corporations are thcn
owners of the properties, and. Of
course, responsible for the invest
ments. The Fleet Corporation, how
ever, retains control of sales. renting
and restrictions on the property for six
months after the war. 1t also must
approve the selection of architects. en-
C'neers, contractors and so forth. and
determines the amount of compensa-
tion for each.
One of the questions which enters
most seriously into the matter of the
permanency -of the construction is
that of the possible increase of the
land values. This, Of course. will be
great If the plant around which the
houses arc built remains in opcrat;on
