CHICAGO HAS GREATEST
HOME FAMINE IN HISTORY
BY United Press.


Chicago, March 24.-Chicago faces
the greatest home famine in its his
tory according ito Robert Bertlett
Jr., manager of real estate con.
Germ here.
Practically every available space
for sub-dividing has been sold" Bart
lett said. 1T isn't the land question
that's worrying real estate dealers
rs the building question.
There arc mose families in Chi
cago now than il has room for.
Builders are unable to erect houses
because of the high price and scare
ity of material. Material can't be
touched regardless of the money the
contractor is able to pay. Where
the material goes l cannot say defi-
nitely. The only plausible reason |
can find for the shortage is the large
number of factories under construc-
tion. Dealers seem to give this class
of trade preference to the home
builder II drastic means are not
adopted soon to cope with the situ-
alton, Chicago will lose a great num-
Der of its populace because of the
inability to house them.
The situation is so pressing that
many people are moving into unfin-
or unheated. There are many build !
ings in Chicago now under construc- |
tion with little hope of immediate !
completion.
Because of the building shortage
many families of three to five per-
sons are required to live in a single
rented room where they are forced
to pay unheard of rent"

The branc is the part OF the body YOU

the more YOU think, ana the smaller II IS
the more YOU think y0u think. The
easiest way to tell if person has a big
brane is to look how high their formed IS,
men with bald hcds not counting.
There are meny IMPRESSIONS about
hrancs mecning a persin hasent got mutch
sents. some Of them being as follows
l. Haven't you cny branes? Meening
Haven't YOU mony branes?
> HAY, your branes must be IN your
feet. Meeuing there don't seem TO be eny
IN your head.
3. You haven't got the branes you were
born with Meening wen YOU was born
YOU had more braneS than wat you got
now.
Some branes are better at some things
than wat they are at Others. 4 persin

Boys think they have more branes
than gerls, and vlsa virtue Boys says
gerls have long hair insted OF having more
branes, but gerls say they have long hair
besides having more branes. Both may
be rite IN some cases.
Animals have branes but they don't
know the reason. Animals think because
they cant help il and not because they
wunt to and know its q fine thing to do.
Horses and dogs have the most branes of
all the animals, and eats and insecks have
the least
