THE HOUSING PROBLRM

It Is often asked why there are n. {
houses enough for the worlds popu-
lation at time when the worlds
population has been reduced by war.
A part Of the answer is that the num-
Der Of mating young persons who
want houses of their own every wear
Is greater than the number Of per-
sons who were sent by the war into
another world. The remainder Of the
answer-and this is the real difficulty
is that the cost Of construction is
now SO great that the amount Of
building undertaken and completed
inevitably falls far below the need.
In many cases even when building is
projected under the spur Of urgent
need plans are abandoned after the
estimates have shown staggering
costs. There is a widespread DISPOSE
tion to wait for better times, md thus
the housing problem, long @ serious
one, becomes steadily more acute.
The United States Housing Cor
poration estimates that 70.OO0 houses
were built in the United States last
year. Though this was a gain over
the previous year. it is little more
than a beginning, hundreds of thou.
sands of houses being needed. The re-.
ports indicate that this years building
will fail utterly to meet the existing
need. Under conditions of advancing
cost in both labor and material con-
tractors hesitate to offer fixed price
and when they do their figures are so
high that home seekers are staggered.
In some cities the problem is being
made community matter with a view
to decrease in cost by doing the work
wholesale, SO to speak, and this would
appear to be the only chance of any
thing like relief. 1t is manifest that
unusual effort is imperative. Fire
loss, decay, and population increase
demand that building operations shall
continue steadily in progress if the
people are to have shelter.

FUTURE or AUDITORIUM
IN GREAT DOUBT

The rufnor that the Auditorium In
New Brunswick avenue this fall and
winter will not be the meeting place
OF thousands of basketball and box
ing fans, because it is to be changed
into an automobile service station.
will certainly be a hard blow to pro-
~fessional basketball, but 1t will also
slip the knockout to the boxing
game in this city.
The Auditorium boasts OF one OF
the best basketball courts in the
state. and when used for staging
boxing bouts, It also compares
~favorably with other clubs in this
state. Where professional basket
ball or boxing could be staged IL the
Auditorium experiences another
change, Is hard to tell, but it IL
hoped that the owners will continue
to have their hall used as the sport
ing center OF the city.

GENE TUNNEY

Two forced postponements of en-
gagements to do battle with Martin
Burke of New Orleans has causet
Gene Tunney to be criticised, but h
maintains that nature must take it
course. Once he broke a knuckl'
and the second time it was ptomain
poisoning. He says:
"Of course It is possible that
Burke may object to coming
east q third time to meet me. I
couldn't very well censure him
for that, even though it was no
intentional fault of mine that
our two matches fell through.
Natures laws must be obeyed.
The first time I broke a knuckle
and the second time / had pto-
maine poisoning. / would much
prefer having the affair staged
In the east. However, III Burke
feels that he cannot make an
other trip, 1 will be willing to
box him I'm New Orleans for the
