N. '. FACING ACUTE
 HOUSING PROBLEM;
 NEED MANY HOMES

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-New York City faces a housing situation this fall no less acute than that which last spring caused an army of tenants to march on Albany demanding new rent laws.
 Last spring the immediate problem which faced legislators was passage of measures which would protect tenants, in city where every apartment was at premium. from grasping landlords. Next fall the problem which is expected to engage attention of state law makers is the encouragement of apartment house building.
 The housing shortage this summer has been the cause for sundry hearings by state and municipal bodies. At each was heard the cry: We must have more apartments :" But so far there be met. t~ s%HsgE#
 Experts have given it as their opinion that next fall, instead of having more flats, New Yorl1's meager supply will be depleted by several hundred. The reason, they said, was that demand for office space. especially on Manhattan. had caused many property owners to rage old apartments for construction of commercial establishments which they could rent at higher prices. Some ex- perts asserted that rent laws passed last spring, designed to check the meteorlC rise or rents, had tended 10 check building of apartment houses.
 The building trend was well illus trated last month when plans for new structures filed in Manhattan showed to what little extent property owners were going toward filling the need for 160,000 additional apartments. Con- struction of only one apartment house and one single dwelling were filed. whereas five theaters, 115 garages and three loft structures are contemplated. ;. | Normal construction in this city, ac- cording to Tenement House Commis- sioner Mann, is 2S GOO apartments a | year, in addition to two family houses and hotel apartments. Four thousand a year has been the average, however, for the last four years.
 Various plans have been suggested l for encouragement of home building, l including cooperative ventures and use of the citys sinking fund for loans on bonds or mortgages. The latter plan | has been advocated by Mayor Hy1an, who is seeking to establish the legality l of such action.

A Miracle Explained

It is doubtful if the performance could ever be successfully repeated but here is the little trick if you want to try it.
 An office girl lolled indolently out of an upper window of a down-tow building and munched chocolate drops. It was about as exciting diversion as one could wish for on hot afternoon. Wandering down the street with all the awe of ruralite paying his first visit to the city a bronzed lad of about 20 summers, winters, springs and falls came to a spot directly beneath the window wherein sat the maiden, and stopped. He gazed about him at the three and four story skyscrapers with out seeming to realize the attraction above.
 The office girl gazed down upon the lad. His face was upturned. The girl took a chocolate drop from the box, poised it for a second and let the chocolate drop. It landed squarely be- tween the two rows of wide parted teeth beneath her. The girl lodged. The country boy looked up and saw nothing but the empty window. As he spat the lump of chocolate from his mouth he was heard to mutter:
 Huh, guess it must rain mud around these here parts"

You Can't Fool All the People All the
 TiFna

me
 When a short time ago the Southern Pacific was detouring tourists in large numbers over the Roosevelt road, the Apache Trail. the automobile stage drivers not only displayed before them some of the grandest scenery in the universe but threw in many thrills by descriptions of Indian fights and other horrible adventures along the way that seemed so peaceful. There was no other trail in the land invested with so much that was historical and tragic.
 What does that post signify 2" asked a tourist one day, indicating one of the mile posts along the road be- tween Mesa and Roosevelt. These posts bear two sets of figures, one showing the distance from Roosevelt and the other the distance from Mesa. The driver had not thought of it be- fore The question opened up a new i lead. He immediately converted the mile posts into memorials of fierce en- counters between the federal troops and the Indians. That he said, Ifs the place where there was a mighty hot fight. You notice them figures above, 24, and them below, 36. That means that they was 36 'Paches bit the dust and they was 24 soldiers killed"
 So it was at every mile post along the trail It seemed not to have oc- cured to the tourists, if they noticed 1t at all, that the fatal casualties on both sides always aggregated 60. Nor did they notice as they came this way that federal casualties were increasing while those of the Indians were grow ing less.
 These posts always indicate exact miles except in one instance. At one point, on account of the configuration of the ground, a post could not be ex- actly located at the mile point. Be sides, the reclamation service, always looking to the future, foresaw that sometime there would be a trail lead ing from the road at a point between the forty ninth and fiftieth mile from Roosevelt to a gold mine that Jim Simpson was going to find IS years hence, or rather, thence. It was there fore decided to put the post at this point of future divergence from the trail, 49% miles from Roosevelt and 10A miles from Mesa
 When the stage reached this post the driver was puzzled. He was never good at fraction anyhow. He began to tell what tragedy had been enacted there, and stopped to stutter.
 "Go ahead, young man." said a grouchy old customer who had been listening to the Iliad all the way with out comment. "Go ahead and tell us all about it. There must have been a good deal of savage mutilation attend ing the engagement here. But notice that the whites got the worst of it

He Had to Have a Ticket

Although the dollar has decreased in value, it remained for Phoenix dairy man to actually spurn nickels and dimes as to trivial to bother with. The dairyman in question is just establish ing himself in business and in an effort to build up a route cut the price of milk down to 15 cents a quart. How ever, he insisted that every customer purchase at least 20 tickets.
 One day the dairyman found that Is cents had been left in the empty milk bottle in place of a ticket. He called for an explanation. The customer said he had run out of tickets and did not have sufficient change in the house to purchase a new strip.
 Well, I can't Iceve the mil'-, then, the dairyman replied. T certainly can't be bothered picking nickels and dimes out of milk bottles," and he drove away.
