Great Britain Filled Need.
BY Associated Press.
New York, Sept. 3--The acute
housing shortage faced by many
cities in the United States today
brought from the Guaranty Trust
Company description by its foreign
trade bureau Of how Great Britain
was injecting similar situation.
THE program of the British Min
istry Of Health+-complete rehousing
in three years--is about one year be-
hind and is costing more than double

port. ~

leftsin charge of the work unless they
Fail to show results. In which cases
the business Is turned over to the
office of works.
+ What is keeping back housing at
Ethe present time is the fact that
there are mot enough skilled men to
do even a quarter of the work want
ed. The trades unions will not allow
the number to be increased from
the outside.
1.-THE government is using a sort
OF indirect compulsion by prohibiting
luxury and unessential building so
that if a man will not build cottages
he is not allowed to build anything.
There are housing bond campaigns
all over the country. In London,
subscriptions to the six percent
bonds are coming in at the rate of
about 100000 day. While the To-
cal governments are issuing six per

Puntout After Goa, Abo,i.h.a

FOOTBALL paraphernalia In the sporting
goods houses. Already the Young

ciaily open until about the middle Of
tne month when the Missouri Valley
Conference will start.
Football this year Will be very LITTLE
different from the past three or four
seasons. The rulemakers at their an
nual meeting last winter made hut
two important changes. One ia the
adjustment Of the puntout after a
touchdown. Under the new rules the
team making the touchdown can take
the ball out to any place they desire
on the field for the try at goal.
1t is expected that this rule will
prove more equitable in that II
places the team that forces over a
touchdown In corner Of a field. the
same chance, to make the seventh
point as the team which gets away
with long run and plants the ball
directly behind the goal posts.
The other change In rules deals
with the tackling Of a forward passef
and clipping a player who is not IN
play. The change makes it a penalty
to rough the passer and should hefp
improve that part of the game as II
will give him more time to make his
throw.
