Two Million Houses Short,

During 1918 everybody was busy
winning the war;. and construction
of houses fell off to about one-third of
the usual figure.
January, 1919, found us with these
four million men coming back into
civil life, the accumulated demand of
two or three years, came all at once
Three years supply of houses were
needed at once. Instead of having
them we are short 100000 homes
that would normally have been built
during 1917-18
Here we have an unusually large
demand and 100000 less houses than
the ordinary supply. The law of sup
ply and demand-the law that fixes
prices-has raised rents.
The only thing that can bring rents
down is the same basic law. If the
balance is to swing the other way-to
lower rates-we must build.
We are all here and we've got to live
somewhere, so there isn't much chance
OF cutting down the demand.
In spite of the high prices of things.
In spite of the almost impossibility Of
getting labor homes must be built,
And they are being built and planned

Leadership.

In the autobiography of man whose
distinction as a leader of men is all
anecdote that tells how he first recog-
nfzed and put into practice the princi-
@ple of leadership
He was the youngest of number CT
boys who used to gather to roost upon
fence while they talked over their
plans. After time he discovered that
whenever boy got down, from the
fence with an air of decision and said
Come on, fellows, the others invari-
ably followed. He determined to make
an experiment. One day, when he anC
his friends were assembled and sit
ting on the fence as usual. he slipped
down and said. Come along fellows
and without any dissent the Others
followed
The first principle Of leadership. as
the boy discovered, is to overcome
your own natural inertia, and not
wait for someone else to drive you out
Of IT,
The man who successfully and con-
sistently overcomes his own inertia is
usually able to rouse other people out
Of theirs.
A leader may be bad, or unscrupu-
lous, or dishonest, but he cannot be
lazy and remain a leader.
However, mere readiness to lead
although it may create following
will not hold it. Audacity, assertive-
ness, and the ability to overcome in
ertia must be supplemented with q
clear purpose and an ability to bring
it before people cogently and persua-
sively.

Campaign For
Safer Driving

The moral influence as we'll as the

thousand Elks in Oregon will be
thrown solidly behind the safety

duce to minimum automobile an.

resolution to be presented to the state
association here today meets with ap-
proval as it is expected that 1t will.
The resolution, which is presented
by the Portland delegation and which
is said to have the unanimous endorse
ment of that body, calls attention to
fhe numerous accidents many of them
fatal, which have been occurring in
Oregon, many of them due to careless
ness and recklessness. The move pro-
poses the appointment by the presi-
dent of the state association Of a COM
mittee to cooperate with the safety
committee of the Portland division OF
railroads in carrying on an education
al campaign for the prevention of ac-
cidents at railroad crossings and else
where. The committee would also be
instructed to see that committees of
local lodges be appointed to cooperate
with the state committee and the rail-
way safety committee in furthering
the Campaign to the uomost.
1t is expected that action on the
resolution will be taken by the state
association at its business sessions to-
day.

and then death--she resolved 10 get
away from the city, and to establish
new home somewhere away out on the
prairies of the big west. She had heard
how the children thrived and grew
when born and reared in the pure air
of the prairies. Her one aim was to
scrape enough money together to buy
the tickets to Wyoming. But how was
she to do it on half pay and her hus-
band out of work? Well, this is the
study of the play And it was upon
this theme that the play was devel-
oped. The wife stole broach which
was pawnedt get the money to buy
the tickets to Wyoming. To use her
own words: "Oh, Hiney, didn't steal
the money, it amt no crime what I've
done. I've only taken what I've earn
ed and they didn't pay me. When they
keeps us in house what's so bad that
no one can stay there long and live
I'll tell you the rents they collect is
blood money, and when they in the
name of charity employ me at half
pay, I'll tell you Hiney they're keepin

Jannet Young played the leading
role. She appeared as the young wife,
while Moroni Olsen took the part of
the. young husband. They were well
supported by an able cast.
Miss Young is a rising actress and
we predict that some day in the near
future she viii write her name high
among others of histrionic ability. Mr.
Olsen shared equally with her in ev-
cry way.
Four members of this company were
just before the chautauqua
season in the notable production Of

Please In Play

For the first time in the history of
the local chautauqua play was billed
to appear among other attractions in
the big brown tent. And while most
of the other attractions assembled
have been specialists in their line, no
one ever though that the players
would be of such superior quality as
they were.
1t is believed thatn one went from
the tent last night after hearing the
play "Kindling," feeling that the
Maurice Browne players are not equal
to many Of the very best companies
found in our larger cities. The gen.
eral comment after the performance
was: "Well. thatp lay was worth the
price of my chautauqua ticket" and
t"There was osmething in that play
that will preach sermon to me as
long as live"
A young couple walked from the
tent arm in arm in silence. Presently
the man spoke: SAY Anna, l think
we don't want to move to San Fran
cisco and bring up our little ones there
in the slums of the oyer-crowded city.
I'm for hunting up farm and living
as mother and dad did. Let's give our
kids the same chance for health and
good strong bodies that our folks gave
u.s."
The play was sympathetic study OF
the terrible poor who are found in the
tenament districts of our largo cities,
1t depicted them in their unsanitary
conditions visited and offered charity
by members of the terrible rich"
who 1t was discovered owned these
very tennaments and who kept them
in such an INSANITY condition that no
one could live there without contract
ing some disease.
The story centers around young
couple whose first child was about to
be born into these conditions. The
husband lost his pob through,'a strike,
and because he was a member of the
union could not work. The young wife
was driven into service. She was en-
ployed at half pay by the woman who
owned the tenement house in which
they lived. The wife knowing the fate
