he came TO his death from gunshot
wound self inflicted. In the case OF
Davis. The verdict was that he came TO
his death from poison, the nature OF

The Davis case was replete with eV-
element The Coroner's office disap-
proved Of physicians at the Delaware
Hospital performing an autipsy with
out his permission when they are
Coroner cases. Addressing DR.. Albert
J. Strikel, who was present at an .au-
tOpsy on Davis, Coroner Bullock said,
Il an Coroner Of New Castle county
and if any autopsies are to be per-
formed. will order them"

count Of the autopsy. stating acid was
found in his stomach, from which Is
sued a poisonous odor

think Davis died from acute indlges-
tion, but from poison he either drank
or inhaled. He said the acid taken from
the mans stomach would be sent to
the laboratory at Delaware College for
examination, as they did not have the
facilities to make the test at the hos

Americans. true TO the great principles
Of right and justice upon which our
government rcsts. Whatever a man
may be politically. let his first thought
be Of America. the land we love. This
is the guiding motive Of our splendid
police force.
Il have no thought OF commerclaliz-
ing this campaign It rises far above
any mercenary consideration in its
exalted purpose. But for those who
may be inclined to look at it from the
point Of view Of profit or loss. permit
me to say that the success OF the cam
paign will show our appreciation Of what
The force is doing for us. The strength
ening Of the Police Pension Fund is as
truly a matter Of personal interest to
ourselves as anything that enters into
our civic duties or that contributes TO
the safety of ourselves and our fami-
lies and the peace and happiness of
our community. Whatever we give
to the Police Pension Fund win ln-
doubtedly prove to be a profitable in
vestment."

HOUSE SCARCITY
CONTINUES ACUTE
No One Seems Able to
Prophesy When Supply
Will Catch Up
MILLIONS IAMMED
IN POOR DWELLINGS

WASHINGTON. Nov. i.-When Will
the supply Of houses catch up with the
increase In populationY
Nobody seems to know.
IL is known that from the increase in
into houses where they should not be.
It Is further known that not more
than 10000 houses were built In 1918,
when the normal building program TO
keep up with the establishing Of new
families would call for i09,53. This
estimate is based on figures obtained
from the United States Housing Cor
poration, which had control Of all
building during the war.
After the armistice building was re-
sumed for while with a vim, but two
months ago IL slackened up again.
Architects say that the builders had no
way OF knowing that they could COM
plete their structures before labor and
material advanced and they were un-
certain as 10 whether there would be
decline In prices little later on.
The kind OF flooring that used TO re-
tail for s22 per 400 feet Is now selling
wholesale, I. o. b. the mill, for from
$50 TO 800, and In the retail yards u
sells for sl05. The United STATES Hous-
ing Corporation estimates that the in
crease In the cost OF material has been
from 20 TO 75 per cent, so II the same
amount Of money was spent annually
now for housing, as was spent before
the war, Il would produce only half
the amount Of dwellings.
The increase in the population as II
relates 10 the housing problem has
nothing TO do with the babies born the
last two or three years. The ones who
established the new families were born
from 20 to 80 years ago.
The theory was advanced at the
Bureau OF Census that 90 to 80 years
hence fewer homes might be establish
ed, thus enabling the country to catch
up with housing, but II was soon shat
tered.
Indeed not" said Chief statlstl-
clan Hunt, who makes the figures on
population. more babies are Dorn
during and after the war than in nor
NAL times. That has been the exper-
fence OF all wars. In 90 or 80 years
from now we will need more than the
normal supply OF homes. And the war
stimulated the creation OF families.
The census will show an excess OF
25000,0O0 families, an increase Of % per
cent. over 1910"
The United states has not had more
houses than the people could use in
the last 40 years, and r. A. Cullock,
custodian Of The United States Housing
Corporation. said the shortage was
noticed In 1918 From the middle OF
1913 10 August. 1914. when the war
started, there was little building on
account Of a general lack Of prosperity.
with the prosperity brought on by the
war in Europe a demand for houses
was created, but the demand didn't
catch up with the supply. The acute
condition dates from the time the War
Industries Board stopped building. AZ
this time nobody vii venture TO state
when he thinks the number OF dwell
ing will get in speaking distance OF the
number OF families.
