New York. - Build your own" is
the slogan that is erecting a brand
new colony of homes in the north
eastern section of New York city.
Tired of crowded apartments and high
rents, scores of families are solving
the housing problem there in old-time
fashion. They are putting up their
homes by the toll of their hands and
the sweat of their brows. Everyone
from grandfather to youngest child is
lending hand. 1t is no novelty to see
the entire family at work on the bust
ness Of creating home.
One apartment house landlord is not
discouraged by any such Indications of
unrest on the part of tenants William
R. Smith, 10 East 125th street just be-
lieves in being perfectly frank and
reasonable and everything will be all
right. So the other day he notified his
tenants of a considerable increase in
rents. Ee explained the raise by two
facts; the block front has the smallest
death rate of any in the part of town;
and, even more to the point, he has
Just lost 100000 in stocks. Now, what
tenant could refuse to add 500 or so to
his monthly check in the face Of such
logic and such naivete as that?

Chinese plays continue to intrigue
the public interest. There seems to be
a dramatic lure in the very name of
Chinatown. So "The Poppy Cod,

Hudson theater made an instant ap-

and the terror that it would be sup
posed to have and is done with exceed
ing interest - both as to writing and
acting. Edna Hibbard plays a very
pretty Chinese girl, and Ruby Gordon
is the mission workers who almost
straightens things out.

ALABAMA WILL GET' NEW CONGRESSMAN UNDERCHANGEDLAW
Governor KiIby Will Probably Not Regard Extra Session as Necessary for Redistrict-
 ing Action
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age -Herald
 506 Davidson Buildipa

Washington, January 6.-tSpecial.) The reapportionment bill reported to- day by Nhe census committee of the House. increasing the membership to 4SS and giving Alabama an additional congressman will be enacted into law, it is admitted by leaders in both branches of Congress.
 The opposition which was based on fear that under the present system of increasing the membership with every census report the House would eveneu-. ally become body of 1000 members, is disspated by the bilrs provision submitting a constitutional amend ment making the House a body of an unvarying membership of 800.
 As it is not regarded by Alabam ians here as likely that Governor Xiii by will call an extra session for the Tedistricting of the state in order to take care of the additional congr sss- man to which Alabama will be anti tied, the probability is great that there will be congressman elected to rep resent the state at large until such a time as a new district can be prepared and the people therein express their choice. Alabama once had such a ~ep- Tesentative in the person of John w. .Abercrombie, who is presently super 1ntendent of education in Alabama.
 Regarding plans for redistricting, there seems to be an agreement on the part of all Alabamians here that the Seventh district should be so treated as further to reduce the republican strength thereof One suggestion is that Cullman county should be added to the Eighth district. Representative Almon of the Eighth has not expr ,ssed opposition to the suggestion.
 Another suggestion is that south Alabama, with Mobile as the predom- dnating center, should be favored With the congressman-at t-large, and should be considered in any plan respecting tedistricting,
