Domestic Science
Dept. Ladies Cheer
Sanatarium Patients

About 30 ladies OF the Domestic
Science department of the Water
vile Woman's Club went to the Cen
trail Maine Sanitorium at Fairfield
Monday afternoon to give an enter
tainment for the patients there. also
to take them gifts and books and
make them all. and especially the
children, little happier for at least
one afternoon
The party went in automobiles
and were received by Miss Lucy
Clare Findiey. medical social service
director Each lady took something
for the patients in the way Of flow
ers, fruit. magazines. toys and pic
ture books for the children, all OF
which were most gratefully received
A large table was heaped high with
gifts which were distributed among
patients and brought them much
happiness.
The assembly room was filled with
those who were well enough to at
tend the entertainment which
opened with an overture by an Or
chestra, of three pieces consisting Of
Dana Charles of New Hampshire, a
pupil of Max Cimbollek, as violinist:
Miss Adelaide Maroon with the cello
and Mrs. Charles Pooler at the
piano. This was followed by a read
ing by Mrs. Walter Hood of Sum-
mer street. who studied elocution In
Portland under the best teachers and
whose reading was a delight to all:
q vocal solo by Mrs. Lillian Small of
Dexter, who is the guest of Mrs.
George johnson of Heath street, the
latter being president of the Domes-
tic Science department
Mrs. Otto Larsen in a character
dance of bad boy. highly amused
the children. Of whom there are q
in the establishment, the youngest
four years old. The program was
interspersed at intervals with music
by the orchestra. The afternoon was
whit more so by the people of the
sanitorium than by the ladies them
selves
There are four ex-seryice men in
the sanitorium. who were gassed
overseas and are seeking a return to
health. These the ladies went to
visit particularly. The papers of
one Of them, Daniel Devine of Fort
Fairfield. have in some. unaccount-
able way been lost and the govern
ment has been able to do nothing for
him since he came-out of the service.
Mr. Devine Is particularly fond Of
flowers and to him went a bouquet
yesterday. much to his happiness
The other service men there are
Herbert Johnson of HaIloweli, W.T.
ter Stevens of Unity and Norman
Jewett of'Portland. all of whom were
in the great world war and are sick
and suffering as a consequence.
This will probably not be the last
time these ladies will visit the sani-
forum, for by giving happiness to
others they were made happy them
selves

In letter TO w. A. Hager OF this
city. II. r. Durham of California,
formerly resided here. describes the
housing conditions in Los Angeles,
Cal. which are found to be far worse
as winter approaches. Mr.. Durham
asked Mr.. Hager to pass the word
along SO that those who are planning
a trip to California may make sure
Of a habitation before starting from
their homes.
Mr.. Durham WHITES: With many
thousand more tourists in the city
than were here twelve months ago.
and with other thousands expected,
Ids Angeles is face to face with a
most serious housing problem.
According to the housing bureau
attaches. they are besieged daily by
newcomers in search of homes. but
cannot accommodate or satisfy half
the applicants. Not only is the
number of applicants much larger
this year than heretofore, but many
of those referred to houses or apart
ments listed with the bureau frankly
admit the prices quoted are prohib-
tive.
One OF the results of the inability
of ~ehe newcomers to obtain quarters
is an increasingly serious congestion
in the freight warehouses. where fur
niture is being held, and the tying up
ON many freight cars, thus inte0
fering with commerce. Many other
new arrivals have placed their house,
hold effects in storage in the hope of
finding homes at some future time.
So great has become the demand
on the housing bureau, that scores
Of applicants are being referred to
the beaches and suburbs for accom-
modations. Because Of the unpreced-
ented condition, the bureau, more
over. is giving practically all its aid
10 newcomers. Permanent residents
of Los Angeles, who are deluging the
bureau with requests for apartments
or homes, are told that because of
tourists unfaniliarity with the city
and conditions here. first consider
alton must be given them
The chief demand. il is stated at
the bureau. is for houses or apart
ments at $40 or s45 a month, and
there is great scarcity OF such
quarters The bureau finds little diff
fcutly in accommodating tourists able
and willing 10 pay from $50 to $500
month. as many of the apartment
pouses in Los Angeles have exactly
doubled their prices since last year.
Applicants say they were attracted
10 Los Angeles by stories of the city's
WONDERFUL growth and they natural
ly supposed this growth included
proper housing facilities for new
corners. Many Of them are not at all
bashfui or sensitive. about confessine
their financial inability to pay high
rents, Some of them. notably wom-
en-. openly express their criticism be-
cause OF the scarcity of houses and
disproportionate rents.
