a study Of housing conditions which
reflects the extent TO which Ameri-
cans are house dWellers- The report
which he has just made does not
show how many American families
are home owners, bit It does Indicate
that many live in homes as distin-
Eished from flats. tenements ana
hotels The Investigator, who Is a
graduate engineer, says that living
in a house is a good step toward
owning one and that owning one ties
a citizen to his community and
makes a citizen out Of him better
than anything else can do.
II the present rate Of population
increase continues and If houses are
built in no greater quantities during
the next five years than they have
been built during 1913 and 1890 there
viii be 1895 families TO every 100

port, OF In other words there viii
be two families in every fourth
