HOUSING CONDITIONS IN
ENGLAND VERY BAD
S. w. Straus Tells Of Study He
Made Abroad.

S. w. Straus, Of 8. w. .Straus G. Co.,
who has just returned from Europe
where he has made q study OF housing
conditions, sums up his opinions as fol-
lows: !.
THE German people are practicing eff
ficiency and thrift to the utmost OF their
ability They are working hard to come
back. The political and financial situa-
tions In Germany are bad. but there Is
much new building going on throughout
the country. The Government Is COM
pelling families which have more room
than they need to share their living &C.
commodations with others.
Housing conditions In England and
France are very bad. particularly In the
ment has built a great many small homes
for working people, but It has failed to
inspire any substantial home building
activities based on private Initiative.
Outside of certain devastated areas in
France there is very little new building.
Rents are proportionately higher In the
European cities than here.
THE great lesson which America can
learn from Eunope's experience Is that
the best way to help the housing situa-
ton in this country Is to encourage
private enterprise. The Government can
inspire and encourage home building and
home owning movements, but II should
not attempt to go into the housing busi-
ness"

PREPARING FOR 1922
HOME EXPOSITION

Plans are already under way for the
Fourth Annual "own Your Home" Ex-
position. to be held In the sixty-ninth
Regiment Armory. Lexington avenue
and Twenty-ffth street, from April %
to 30. 1922. This exposition and others
held In the larger cities throughout the
United States are the annual practical
demonstrations OF the Own Your Own
Home Movement which was organized
by the United States Department OF
Labor and sponsored by prominent citi-
zens of these centres and leading repre-
sentatives Of each trade allied to home
building and coupling.
Robert II. Sexton. director OF the
New York Exposition and authority on
the housing situation, said yesterday at
the exposition headquarters:
Tn 1921 almost double the contracts
for housing construction have been let
over tho figures for 1920 In New York
city and there has been erected, or Is
In the process of erection. 4,61s small
dwellings which are to cost $4,000, 900.
The construction under way to date will
house 1900 families which means that
building Is practically back TO what was
considered normal before the war. In
1920 but 5000 families were provided
for. These figures show clearly the
trend OF the public mind towards the
question OF home building. believe
that many people are taking advantage
OF the tax exemption law and the con-
siderable decline In the costs OF building
materials.
"rhe own Your Own Home move
ment is not organized TO wage a vicious
war against the landlords but to show
the public during these expositions. In n
graphic way, that IL is possible to build
homes and how 10 do e." The Chicago
"own Your Home" Exposition will be
held In the Coliseum there from March
rs to April 1, 1922.

val authorities have expressed tho
belief today that the only hope for
the safety Of Chief Quartermaster
G. K. Wilkinson and four student
pilots, missing from the naval air
station here since they took the
air in a free balloon Tuesday night
Is that some vessel in the Gulf OF
Mexico may have rescued them.
Scores OF naval air and surface
craft took up anew the search for
the free balloon today from the
naval air station here which was
reported adrift az sea yesterday
with five men aboard. The last
heard from the balloon yesterday
was that 1t was then off St. An
drew's bay, drifting toward the
open sea and only about one hun
dred feet above the water. Two
messages brought IN by carrier
pigeons told the plight Of the bal
loonists. The last said all the bal
