LONDON PACKS 'EM
AS CLOSE AS D. c.

England's capital is facing a hous-
ing shortage as acute as that felt in
Washington. Thousands of new peo-
pie are arriving in London daily and
are experiencing the same difficulties
Of the Washington war worker in OBJ
tanning adequate housing facilities.
The London Evening News gives in
sight into the English situation IN
an interesting article under the head
ing. lone Million Persons Too Many
in London"
10000 Clerks.
The Evening News says: THE cre-
alton of government departments and
bureaus for war work has brought
thousands OF people into London.
There are approximately 10000 peo-
pie employed in clerical work relating
to the war, and 900 buildings have
been taken over by the government in
which to house them. These build
fngs, in the main, have been large
hotels, which has caused added con-
gestion to the hotels not affected.
ain a good many instances theSs
war workers have brought their fami.
lies with them, causing quite de-
mand for small fats and houses and
resulting in congestion and insanita-
ton"
"The housing of the transient or
floating population. made up OF SOL
diers and sailors on leave, is one OF
the chief factors which Is causing
concern"
'It is estimated that 100000 new
houses are needed in London alone.
During the war 1900 houses have
been condemned as unsanitary and
should not have been used, but under
the circumstances they had to be oc-
cupied."
VIII Erect Quarters.
THE London county council has 1o6
acres on which houses are to be built
at once, which can accommodate
1900 persons. It Is proposed TO
spend $1T,O32, $50 on this program.
Other councils in greater London
have made application to erect houses
on 0O,OOo acres. The local govern
msnt board has a scheme for erecting
3OO.O 900 houses, but the procuring OF
the material required Is great prob
lem. Six thousand million bricks,
"a 600 600 cubic feet Of timber. $500
600 windows, and 1000 0C0 doors will
be needed for these houses"

Other authorities in touch with the
building industry assert that present
prices will prevail for several years
and some so so far as TO assert that
we need not expect material prices
ever to revert to pre-war levels. For
a year or two, at least, the Euro
pean demand, plus the fact that
American production was materially
cut down in many lines during the
war, will tend to maintain material
prices at their present level.
Many contractors are anxious to
get construction work under way that
they may avail of the present labor
market and avoid the delays which
will be incident to the labor short
age which some assert is bound to
develop in a few months when indus
tries have finished readjustments to
peace production. This was an i'm
portant factor in bringing Buffalo to
a decision to start municipal con-
struCtion at once.
Seek Aid For LOans.
Representatives of the building and
loan associations Of the country re-
port to the division of public works
and construction development a gen.
eral disposition throughout the coun-
try to go in for dwelling construc-
tion. One embarrassment is the ina
bility of the prospective buyer to
obtain loans. The building and loan
interests now have representative
in Washington, X V. Haymakcr, OF
Detroit, Mich, who is working in
conjunction. with the Department OF
Labor in an effort to get such Federal
legislation as will make liquid the
$4,000, 900 asets of the building and
loan associations to the end that more
money may be released for. loans on
homes.
Whether or not this legislation i'm
mediately is had. II is apparent that
home building is getting under way,
and will show a marked increase
throughout the country during the
next few months.

BUREAU OF STANDARDS
ASKS FOR MORE LAND

A supplementary request has been
made to the House to appropriate an
other S25. 900 to complete the purchase
of land needed by the Bureau Of
Standards.
The request came from Acting Sec
retary r. r. Sweet, OF the Department
of Commerce He stated that the ad-
ditiOnal appropriation is now requir-
ed in order that the entire price may
be had in the fiscal year during
which the original $4,000 was appro-
priated.
Mr Sweet explains that the land
which IL is intended to purchase cuts
off the main site OF the Bureau Of
Standards from the streets TO the
north and east OF the site.

Private builders in the District are
now working on plans for several
big building enterprises. The Dis
trict itself is temporarily halted by
lack Of funds, but several needed
and many other contemplated enter
prises will be begun as quickly as
funds are made available by Con-
gress.
One Of the most notable public i'm
proysments on this years schedule
is the Massachusetts, Avenue Bridge,
near Anacostias Park.

private, approximating $2o,oOO,oOO in
values, coming to the attention Of the
United States Department Of Labor
this week. Indicate the rapid return
of confidence in the building indus
try. OF these, less than $1,000 900
are represented by Government con-
struction, the remainder being mu-
nicipal work or private building prof.
ects.
The building revival does not ap-
pear to be restricted to any particu-
lar district. but Is quite general as
far west as the Mississippi river, and
Is especially marked in Ohio where
in six cities of moderate size. the
residential building projects under
way or planned for immediate con-
struction, totals more than $l25.0oo.
Banks Are Building.
It is held to be significant that
several banking institutions are go
ing in for construction work. The
most conspicuous instance being the
Wisconsin National Bank. in NIL
U'aukee, which Is getting under way
with a one million dollar building
project
1t is evident that many building
authorities DO not believe material
prices will be lowered soon. Charles

CANARY
IS ARIZONA INDUSTRY

In Arizona a plant has been estab-
lished for the commercial demolition
of the ancient and respected burro.
This placed and benign animal appa-
.rently has outlived his usefulness.
Railroads and buzz-wagons have to
a great extent supplanted him as a
burden bearer over what was a desert
but which is so no longer. Machinery
has taken his place to a large extent
in the mining operations Of the great
Southwest. The day of the primitive
prospector has passed.
The burro is not valued for beauty
OF person. and his singing voice no
longer is In demand for photograph
records. Although once hailed as the
Washoe county canary. the present
generation demands something still
more jazzier or more dulcet, SO the
happy medium furnished by the throb-
bing larnyx of the burro is no longer
desired. All these considerations now
leave him friendless and alone. There
is almost none to yield him praise
and as a pioneer Of Tonopah he does
not ever get a monument. says ths
Bonanza.
Captains Of industry vote the burrt
a nuisance. On the range he is eatinf
