Citizens to Appeal
To Congress.

A direct and earnest appeal will be
made to Congress to retain the half

Der of Commerce, the Federation of

tion and other civic bodies, called the

Congress to forego the passage of
the amendment eliminating the half
and-half and any other radical leg
islatlon until the Congressional COM
mittees on the District Of Columbia

The members of the executive
committee, Henry F. B. Macfarland,
A. s. Worthington, Corcoran Thorn,
Theodore w. Noyes. d. ]. Callahan

to Congress in their appeal that the
organic act of 1878 was framed by
the committees on the District of
Columbia; that amendments of that
act are general legislation, and
therefore, under the rules. should be
considered by the committees on
the District of Columbia.

appropriations for the District of
Columbia in the usual manner un-
der the organic act and that. the
question of the abolition of the

able to be out in the daytime with
their father. He pointed out the
great saving in coal. and said the

Discourages Home Builder.

at is to be regretted that home
building activities are not keeping
pace with other forms of new con-
struction. Home ownership is one of
the best types of thrift and fills an
important place in allaying social I'M
rest. The general uncertainties of
the labor market, however, and the
constantly advancing costs of con-
struction work have had discourage
ing effects on the individual home
builder.
Numerous proposed public plans
for the encouragement of immediate
home building have not resulted in
any appreciable amount of increased
housing facilities throughout the
country. With the winter season now
approaching there is every indication
that the housing shortage will con-
tinue to grow more acute, while the

be a strong inquiry for capital for

"The general trend of building costs
continues upward, largely as a result
of the high cost of labor. with the
