The Housing Problem

1T has at length dawned upon the people Of
the United States that this Nation. as well as
Canada and Europe, has a housing problem"
says the Christian Science Monitor 1T has, in
deed, become plainly apparent that the improve
ment and large increase of housing accommoda-
lions should, from this time on, be regarded as
one of the foremost concerns of the period of re-
construction and readjustment. Incidentally, it
will do no harm for Americans to be mindful of
the fact, for it is fact that at the present time
this republic is behind some of the other nations
in graphing, in any systematic and comprehens-
i've way, with the housing problem. Much has, of
course, been heard about the inadequacy of liv-
ing quarters of all grades in some of the con-
spicuous centers, notably Washington and New
York, while various other large cities, especially
in the east have for several years been aware
that in their midst question of this kind was
steadily growing more pressing. The expectation
seems to have been common that the building
situation would present simpler aspect after
the close of the war, but this expectation has
not yet been realized. Thus far, nobody seems to
have come forward with any proposition that
promises solution of the problem, and there is
daily increasing evidence that the legislatures Of
several of the states, including New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts, and Louisiana, will be
called upon to devise and provide relief Signs of
increasing interest and promise of helpful activ-
ity are to be found in the discussion of the SUBJ
ject and the appointment of committees of in
quiry by city and town governments, as well as
by private organizations. At the present stage
people generally appear to be puzzled over the
conditions found and by the outlook. But it is
wholly reasonable to believe that this state of af
fairs may be accounted for by the fact that things
are different from what they have been, and be-
cause people, as rule have only begun to give
serious attention to the question Of ways and
means in the new circumstances.
Probably the situation in New York City is
the most striking since the experience in Wash
ington, which reached its climax during and
largely because of, the war The New York posi-
ton involves, besides great insufficiency of hab-
itations, alleged profiteering the part of many
owners of houses and apartment buildings. Three
different official agencies are dealing with New
York's problem, the Mayors committee, the
State Reconstruction Commission, and a joint
legislative committee. A pleasant note is to be
found in the utterance of the chairman Of the
Mayors committee, who says that the majority

Fair and Warmer

These are the days of fair and warmer prog
nostications from the gay guesser of the weather
bureau says the Dayton Journal "These are
the days of glorious blue skies and warm, golden
sunshine. These are the days of fragrant dew
in the morning, of green grass in the yards and
fields, of gorgeous flowers bursting into bloom,
of soft evenings and STARTLED skies at night.
These are days of luscious fruits and ripening
vegetables. These are the days Of fullness and
plenty This is the garden period of the year, the
season Of greatest production and greatest con-
tentment.
Does your heart sing in keeping with the
season? Are you genuinely happy? Do you arise
each morning, with the sunlight just creeping in
to the room, with song upon your lips and joy
in your heart at the very pleasure of being alive?
Do you have pleasant word of warm friendship
for those whom you meet through the day. and
leave behind you flowers of kindness and seeds of
good will Do you try to do your part in the
world by contributing to the happiness and well
fare of all with whom you into touch? Do
you make life fair and warmer with love for all
whose tasks bring them into touch with you?"

approaching hostile territory they
must needs be very careful to avoid

Auction of Souls" t ODE presented
at the Royal Theatre next Monday is
a record of fact. 1t pictures the
story of Aurora Mardiganian. sole sur
vivor of 100000 young Armenian
girls who were killed during the< pc
Rod of terror created by the Turks
in 1915 when it was decided to de-
port the Armenians and annihilate
them as a nation.
The picture is based upon Miss
Mardiganian's own story of her
amazing escape after two years OF
terrors. Every accusation of barbar-
ism she charges against the Turks is
officially verified by Viscount James
Bryce, former British ambassador to
the United States, who headed a COM
mission which was sent into Armenia
to report the facts, and by Henry
Morganthau, American ambassador to
Turkey in 1916.
While the interest centers around
the experiences of the sole surviving
Armenian girl, international charac-
ters are figures. One of the pictured
events shows a meeting between the
Sultan of Turkey, a weak old man,

cruel military dictator. the German

THE DEADLY PToMAINE GERM.

Alaska needs a sanitary commits
sion appointed, believes the Valdez
Miner. whose duties would be to ex-
anime shipments of canned goods
coming from the States into Alaska.
Inconceivable as it may appear,
there are many firms in the States
which make a business of unloading
spoiled or old canned goods on the
Alaskan trade. During the past few
months an epidemic Of deaths have
occurred in many parts of the
Northland from eating this aged and
stale food. 1t is bad to eat such
stuff in the States where physician
is instantly available, but it is Grim
inal to ship it to Alaska, where the
sick man may be a hundred miles
from medical treatment and have
no idea of what to do for ptomaine
poisoning:
Several years ago, says the Miner.
a Seattle wholesaler was seen re-
labelling a shipment. of canned goods
destined for Alaska. Many instances
in Valdez have occurred where cans
of meat have been opened and the
contents found to be a small hard
lump of moldy refuse. A store
keeper here recently opened num-
Der of cans of shrimp and found
them all spoiled Were these goods
inspected, or could there be a law
passed compelling Gamers to label
the date of the pack, much Of the
danger Of ptonlaine germs would be
eliminated. The merchants are help
less. as the cans arrive in Alaska
with nice fresh labels on them; but
the contents show they have been
canned for years.

at HunEer creek from eating canned
foods show that the danger is real.

country is drifting along pathway

sums of money have been squan-

that vast sums of money have been

ipulators without any returns what

TRACK WORKERS
MOVE STEADILY
NORTH OF TOWN

The work of laying steel on the
Nenana-Fairbanks line is moving
along steadily, under the direction
of Foreman T. 4. Blakey, notwith-
standing the fact that railroad con-
struction on the north side of the
river is handicapped by lack of
equipment and scarcity of gravel.
Progress also has been somewhat de-
layed by stretch of swamp over
which the rails are now being laid,
the roadbed requiring considerable
preparation in the way Of log work,
such as found necessary on the D
line, TO the south of town, last sum-
mer.
The swamp in question is about
three miles and half from the river
and is about half a mile wide. The
rails have been laid about halfway
across and should reach the solid
grade on the north side by the end
/ of this week, after which the rails
will move forward much more rapid

of putting in a log foundation, which
