PafaS May 5.-Many fashionable
women have offered their services to-
break the strike Of workmen which
began on May day and some Of them

and at other posts deherted by the
union workmen. ..{-f i3 w

omnibus chauffeur. declared she
found the work less sdifficult than
might be expected for woman.
IT was the most natural thing in
the world" she said. referring to her
efforts to help break the strike.
when men desert their. posts it is
necessary indeed for women to do the
best they can to make themselves
useful. In practice 1t proved less
difficult than it seemed in theory. The
cars were rather heavy and disposed
to skid at the turns on the more or
less smooth pavements, but with the
help of professional omnibus
chauffeur I managed to get over all
the bad spots."'
She said her relations with the
public were most. agreeable in the
Latin quarter and most difficult in
the populous Clichy and Batingholles
quarters where a''burly workmen rem
dered the task unpleasant"
Another fashionably dressed wom-
an who volunteered to punch tickets
at a subway station, stood all day at
her post smiling at the jibes of strik-
ers and the rough jokes of idlers
hanging about the station.
The civic union, which began re-
cruiting volunteers in view Of the
railroad strike, received applications
from a large number, of women who
professed their readiness to do any
railroad work, even to acting as en-
giheers on the locomotives. They
have not, however. been called upon.

In Sanity City {: Election
Result.
(special to The Herald.)

st. Paul, May 5.-Mayor Hodgson's
reelection over Mahoney. Socialist,
was a defeat for radicalism.
Hodgson, however; was at the
tainted with bossism, and his narrow
escape may be ascribed to this fact.
A strong candidate representing the
conservative sentiment as well as the
sentiment opposed to O'Connor, the
Democratic boss, would have inflicted
a much heavier defeat on the Town
ley -Mahoney combination.
This anti-O'Connor sentiment is
responsible for the election of three Of
The voters tried to make a clean
sweep of the old crowd. They elected
three soldiers, two conservative labor
men, and let Smith, radical, slip
through by narrow margin over
Peter.
The general result is not one out Of
which Townley can claim prestige.

revolving federal troops, also was
contained in the rebel advices.
Further indication that Torreon

in the report that General Dieguezs s

Another odious comparison. from

state tax for 1918 and that for 1918.

even after 100000 had been Topped
on the total amount, the 1919 taxes
amounted to $3,742,61s.os. This is
an increase over the past years taxes
OF over 100 per cent. or in other
words the 1913 taxes, after being re-

HOUSING SHORTAGE AND
HEALTH.

A scarcity CT housing facilities d.
rectly tends to lower quality and to
induce cheap and undesirable substi-
tutes. And these affect the social life,
comfort and health Of the family.
It may not have occurred TO the
average person, but it is true that there
are housing substitutes as there are
substitutes for food, leather and cloth
ing. Among the substitutes for proper
and adequate housing may be men
toned tents, shaeks and house boats,
and not forgetting either the doubling
up evil which means the housing of
two OF more families where space, light,
air and sanitary provisions are, wholly
inadequate.
Housing shortage also tends to lower
housing standards and unless watched
carefully, permanent deterioration in
the character comfort and safety of
home dwellings viii follow. In this
connection and giving almost at a
glance the housing situation, the follow
ing statistics compiled by Mr.. Wharton
Clay, showing the proportion of fami-
lies to dwelling houses from 1890 to
1920 are well worth study. Here they
are:
In 1915 there were 2O,263, O5l dwell
ings for %, 292, ss7 families; in 1917,
2O,672, o51 dwellings for o, 799, 275 fami-
lies; in 1918, 9O,SOs,562 dwellings for
24,3O5, 662 families; in 1919, POSES, O39
dwellings for 24,sS72,O5 families; and
for the year 1920 the proportions are
2O9O0oOO dwellings for 25,319,44s
families This means an existing short
age Of 4,41e,443 houses for family
dwellings, and on a basis of FIVE mem
bers 70 a family, 22,Os7,2 l5 persons in
this country today are not being prop |
erly or adequately housed.

who has eharted by years the housing
situation in this country. the shortage
in housing facilities has shown a sharp
and decided upward swing since 1917.
HE also is authority for the statement
that in 1918 only 10000 new houses
were built when there should have
been twenty times that number. Last
year showed some improvement with
little over 10000 houses completed.
according TO the estimates of the U.
is. Building Corporation. This slight
increase in building has by no means
kept pace with the increase of popu-
latiOn, which is far ahead of any
building program, until now it is esti-
mated that for every 100 existing
houses there are at least 121 families
to be provided for.
A situation like this means but one
thing and that is acute congestion,
which is certain to have a direct and
unfavorable influence on both the
health and morals of family life. In
order TO meet this evident and wide
spread shortage, the authority already
quoted, estimated that at least $780,
600 homes must be constructed by or
before 1926. And even this program
viii not insure return to pre-war con-
ditioDs by any means. To bring this
about $4,000 dwellings will have to
be built during the period named. This
would mean that in a town of $4,000
people, $50 homes must be built every
year for FIVE years. That this housing
situation as revealed by the facts and
figures given has an important bearing
on community life and health is quite
apparent. In fact If constitutes Sc
rious and ever present menace to
the public health and safety even |
under normal disease conditions. But
in the event of outbreaks of any of
the more dangerous types of com
munieable diseases, this menace then
would be greatly increased both as
sickness and death rates and
