4INXTW LZLZZ''2! F!
BY o. 8. JOYFUL

A realtor explains the housing short age this way:
 1-The more houses built the greater demand for building material and the higher price, which in turn makes for higher rents.
 2-The fewer houses built the great CT demand for houses and the higher the rents.
 The lad who had. to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea was fortunate individual, wasn't he?
 It is just barely possible that this has something to do with the housing shortage:
 MT. and Mrs. Gotdough. without child to their name live in a town a summer cottage of 46 rooms during the summer.
 Mir and Mrs Littlecash. with eight children, live in four-room flat dur ing the winter, and in a four-room flat during the summer.
 There, too, is to be noted the Colonel House shortage at the national execu- tive mansion. And there's a dire White House shortage staring a flock of statesmen square in the face.
 But the most serious thing in all the world is a home shortage. Ask any l down and-outer. 1 And why is it. do you suppose that | the family living in the stuffy down town tenement spend so much time at home, when the family dwelling in the cool and comfy suburban home must i close up the place for the summer to 'get away from the awful heat? Yes, you guessed it, the right answer 1 is $$sss Squire Abner Harpington says there aren't enough houses for people to live in because so many people are living in automobiles. The squire also expresses the opinion 1 that there'd be lower cost of living if there were more chicken houses in l dwelling houses backwards.
 But there is ray of sunshine hiding back of every cloud, even the housing shortage. All one needs do is huSa for it.
 Tom Duff found one: "The fewer houses the fewer lawns to mow in hot weather and the fewer furnaces To l tend in cold weather"
