Start Movement
To Provide 1000
Pittsburgh Homes
Commerce Chamber to Erect
Houses With Rooms Cost.
ing $50 to $1,000 Each
for Moderate Incomes

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 13.-Two thou
sand new houses for the Pittsburgh
district within the next year is the ain,
Of the housing corporation of the
Pittsburgh Chamber OF Commerce
formed to better the acute rent and
home situation here.
Cheap money, construction at about
one-half the usual cost and expert su-
pervision without charge are leading
features of the plan. 1t has so ap-
pealed to the public that scores of
building applications have been filed.
The movement is for civic better
ment, without profit to the corporation.
Its officers are giving their time and
business experience without hope of
financial reward. Bankers, builders
and material dealers have fallen into
line. The result has been that money
lega! rate of per cent without bonus,
materials are being provided at little
more than cost and some 1000 lots have
been listed as available sites for dwell,
ings.
The corporation has no money, nor
does it assume any obligations. On
the other hand, it insists that everv
house be financed before work is start
ed, but it helps in the financing.
1t demands that each prospective
builder shall have not less than 20
per. cent of the total cost. Then it
tells him where he can get a first mort.
gage for 60 per cent, and if necessary
1t puts him in touch with an institu-
ton that will take a second mortgage
tor the remaining 20 per cent.
This plan is primarily to help those
ilvlng on moderate salaries and in
comes who have been hardest hit by
the shortage Of houses and the con.
sequent high rents" A. W. Thompson
president Of the corporation, says.
ith this in mind we have set out
70 nulld modest, substantial and com
fortable homes at low cost. These
houses will have all the conveniencss
ana necessities. They will be good to
look upon, but they will not be show,
and best of all, they will be with ever

Cotton Reports
Of Consumption
Depress Prices
Scattering Liquidation and
Short Selling Send Quota
tions Off as much as Four
Points; Lowest at Close

The report of the Census Bureau
showing domestic consumption of onlv
4lo,12o bales of cotton for July, com
pared with 461,6 the previous month
and 525,48S for the same month last
year, was evidently a disappointment
to come of the local cotton traders ves-
terday. At any rate, there was scat
tering liquidation, which, with moder-
ate selling for short account, caused
declines from opening advances and
gave the market q barely steady tone
in the late trading. Last prices were
the lowest Of the day, ruling net un-
changed to 4 points lower on all months
except July, which was points higher.
The market opened steady at an ad
vanceo to 10 points on bullish re-
ports from the goods trade, covering
and trade buying The latter was be-
lieved to be largely for French ac-
count, although other Continental
points were also reported buyers.
Liverpool sold a little cotton here,
over the week end, and the initial buv-
ing orders seemed to be pretty we'll
supplied around the opening figures.
Prices then turned easier and the low
est levels of the day were reached in
the late trading, when offerings were
not heavy, but there appeared to be
very few buyers around the ring.
The news from the goods market wa;
considered particularly encouraging
Sales in Fall River for the week were
estimated at 10000 pieces, and there
seemed to be feeling that a larger
business would have been done had
manufacturers been willing to accept
orders freely for delivery beyond Sep
tember. As it is, mill activity is in
creasing. More favorable reports re-
gardng mill operation are also being
received from some parts of the South.
London cable advices reported con-
tinued depression of trade in Ian
cashire, but comment upon the favora
BILE monsoon in India as likely to bring
in an improved demand from that
source. There was no change in the
generally bullish character of crop ad-
vices, and only passing comment on the
weekend figures, which indicated large
spinners' takings and pointed to con-
tinued full exports as compared with
last season. The amount on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the close of the
week was 81 900 bales, against $4,000
last year.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and points lower at 13.20c for
middling. No sales were reported.

rect route with the mainland The
board adopted a resolution providing
for three methods for paying for this
Improvement, for which President

entire ten years of his administra-
ton.
President Connolly suggested that
Go per cent of the cost be borne by the
city at large. Is per cent by the entire
borough, and 20 per cent by the 5th
Ward, Borough of Queens

Of Estimate, suggested tnar the CITY

per cent, Brooklyn 10 per cent. Queens
Is per cent and the 5th Ward of the
Borough of Queens so per cent. A
suggestion that the entire citv nav
for the whole of the improvement was
made a part Of the resolution. The
three plans will be discussed at the
public hearing.
The plan provides for two bridges
that will cost S364,00O. span Of
nifty feet clearance is to be at Pump

HEALTH Is PROFITABLE.

While people are dwelling on high
taxes and low incomes, it is a good time
to drive home the economic value of
health. Probably half the national loss
incidental to the present business depres-
sion could be made up in a year by the
simple plan of everybody paying more
heed to his own health and other peo-
pies.
\ statistician figures out that $780,
100000 is lost in wages alone in this
country every year through illness. Add
the probable loss in salaries. Add the
loss to employers and to the community
during the seven days a year that the
workman is producing nothing. Add all
the bills for doctors, nurses, hospitals and
undertakers. Add the loss in working
power that follows in so many cases from
what seems at the time a trivial illness.
Add the contributory loss suffered by
relatives and associates whose own time
is taken and whose own affairs are inter
fered with by sickness The total will
run into billions. Perhaps it will equal
the entire income tax over which the
public is making such a fuss.
And most of this enormous sick bill is
unnecessary. Most of it comes from
men and women not taking as good care
Of themselves as they know, or ought to
know, how to- take-care in their eating
and drinking and working and exercising
and sleeping, and in exposing themselves
to cases of contagious or infectious dis
ease. y large part of it comes from care
lessly distributing ones own ailments
among relatives and friends, through
coughing, sneezing, etc.
1t isn't fair to yammer so much about
taxes until people cut down their own
sickness tax.
