Housing Shortage Put At Bridal Flats Door

Chicago, Aug. 2-Brides came in for stern chiding today at the hands of F. E. Davidson, President of the Illinois Society of Architects, who placed the blame for the present acute housing shortage squarely upon their slender shoulders.
 "A small apartment requires less work by the housekeeper,'' said MT. Davidson, ESQ she prefers it to a house of her own which can be real home for the family. Further reduc- ing effort, the modern housewife feeds her family from the neighboring deli catessen. She would rather have an automobile than a home.'
