Co. E Reported Enroute

That the members of Compay E
and other state contingents are now
enroute to the United States from
France is the opinion of relatives of
the men who have been receiving
letters during the past several days.
On January 10th according to let
ter received from Private Robert F.
Stevenson, the North Dakota men
were standing by awaiting the
completion of the reorganization pro.
ram before entraining for the de-
barkation point. At that time the
contingents had been delayed more
than a day and they expected to
leave for port city at any time.
No word has been received to in
dicate that the men were not en-.
trained after January 10 and relatives
and friends here are expecting to hear
daily of their arrival in America.
Had the men been entrained on Janu-
ary 18th or soon after, their arrival
New York should be within the next
few days, allowing ample time for
the usual amount of "red tape" to
be carried out in the transfer of the
troops.

The first half ended with the Model

When the whistle blew of the second
half both teams set about their work
with determination that bordered on
roughness. The star of the game
was Cook playing center for the

BUILDING BOOM
STARTED IN CITY
700 Families to Be Provided for
After Operations in West and
North Sections Are Finished
SPECULAT0RS ARE HARD HIT

A building boom has started in West
Philadelphia and the northeastern sec
tion Of the city.
Operations in both sections when COM
pleted will provide accommodations for
at least 700 families.
Resumption of activities by the build
ers and the exodus of hundreds of fam
lilies to the suburbs, it is believed, will
go a long way toward relieving the
shortage of houses and put an end to
real estate speculation on such whole
sale lines.
In West Philadelphia there is every
indication that the building boom will
continue for some time, regardless of
the persistent rumors of high cost of
materials.
Twoscore Of two story dwellings are
being erected at Sixty second and sixty
third, streets and Usage avenue. Just
two blocks away the neighborhood of
Sixtieth and Locust streets Is the center
OF much activity. Four apartment
houses and stores are going up on the
west side of Sixtieth street at this
point.
On the east side of Sixtieth street
from Chancellor to Locust six stores
and three story apartments are being
erected and six more stores and apart
ments are In course of construction in
the block from Locust to Irving streets.
On Sixtieth street below Spruce, one
block below, four more three story
apartments and stores are being erect
ed. Eleven apartments and stores are
in course of construction on Sixtieth
:. street below Pine and at Sixtieth and
hardwood avenue, short distance
away, six more apartments and stores
are going up.
In the northeast several hundred
houses are in course of construction il
Logan. Lawndale and along the Roose
velt Boulevard. In addition to these
activities, builders are planning to erect
several hundred homes on a tract ir
Overlook beginning in August.
One builder in the northeast section
has several hundred homes which ht
declares he will neither rent nor sci
until September.
In West Philadelphia. where specu
lation resulted in the election of hun
dreds of tenants from their homes, q
big change has been brought about.
Several spectators who bought prop
critics on "shoe string investments
have come to grief and the homes were
returned to the original owner.
