Homes In a Treeless Land.

When wood as building material
is exhausted to the point Of extreme
scarcity, as it promises to be in
America before the new houses Of to-
day begin to look old, what will be
the effect on American housing? One
thing is certain-old buildings will
be cherished as never peIore. Even
now old dwellings are rebuilt or
mended that woulN have been con-
demned three years ago.
Brick, cement and stone will OF
course enter more largely into build
ing OF dwellings. Also the average
detached dwelling will De smaller.
People will have to learn to live more
out Of doors and to huddle .peaceab1y
when at home.
The detached dwelling will be the
first unit in housing to wane. The
multiple home will became permanent
and dominant. Nor will apartment
buildings be torn down as they fall
into decay. Mending will lengthen
their days; and slums will get re-
newed lease Of life.
If one would see our housing after

DIDN'T BUY OF ARGENTINA.
United States Made No Purchase Of
South American Sugar.


South American Sugar.
Washington, June 24.-The United
States government had no connec-
ton with the recent purchase Of a.
900 tons Of Argentine sugar beyond
lending It's influence to- have export
restrictions removed. Howard Figg,
special assistant to the attorney
general, announced today. First re-
port that this was a government
purchase, Mr.. Flgg said, "has caused
considerable confusion in the public
mind as we'll as in official circles"
American interests who purchased
the sugar have since co-operatea
with the department of justice in
working out a plan for distributing
it to the essential Industries. It was
estimated that $4,000 tons will be
sufficient to supply those industries
for sixty days and thereby releas,
other sugar stocks for distribution
among housewives during the ap-
preaching canning season.
The Argentine sugar, said Mr..
Figg, is expected to arrive between
July and September 1.

RUIN CHARGE DENIED

The fight over the proposed park
in the center of Louisiana avenue
northwest between Ninth and Tenth
streets will be aired this morning
before Justice Gould in the District
Supreme Court.
The District Commissioners filed
their answer yesterday to the rule
to show cause why they should not
be enjoined from constructing the
park. The answer denies fatty that
the proposed improvement will
work the ruin as alleged by the
thirty-four merchants who comprise
wholesale Row"
Says Park VIII Aid Business.
The Commissioners declare that
it is not their intention to hurt the
business of these merchants in or
der to beautify that section of the
city. Corporation Counsel Francis
II. Stephens, who filed the answer,
declares that the proposed improve
ment win aid business in that To-
cality rather than hurt it.
The Commissioners also take is
