SOLVING THE HOUSING PROBLEM

The solving of the housing problem
is the aim of the Pittsburg chamber oil
commerce. The housing corporation OF
the chamber has for it's goal the erec-
ton Of two thousand houses for the
Pittsburg district within the next year
Cheap money, construction at about
one-haf the usual cost, and expert
supervision without cost are leading
features of the plan. 1t has SO APP
pealed to the public that scores of
building applications have been filed.
The movement is for civic better
ment, without profit to the corporation.
It's 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
for construction is available at the le-
gal rate of 6 per cent without bonus,
materials are being provided at a lit
tie more than cost. and some 1000 lots
have been listed as available sites for
dwellings.
The corporation has no money, nor
does it assume any obligations. On the
other hand. it insists that every house
1t helps in the financing.
This plan is primarily to help those
living on moderate salaries and in
comes who have been hardest hit by
the shortage of houses and the conse-
quent high rents" says A. w. Thomp-
sen, president of the corporation.
with this in mind. we have set out
to build modest, substantial and COM
Portable homes at low cost. These
houses viii have all the conveniences
and necessities. They will be good to
look upon, but they will not be snowy,
and best Of all they viii be worth ev-
cry cent invested in them.
1--WE are simply applying to the man
who wants a home the methods by
which mass production has been sue
cessful, and giving him the benefit of
the saving in costs"
Applications for houses are grouped
into blocks of ten or more, to get the
benefit of heavy buying and concen-
trated supervision.
The corporation has eleven basic
plans and viii build houses of four.
five. six and seven rooms, at a cost
of from $3.50 to $1,000 a room. From
these basic plans a limited number IF
other designs can be evolved The

Becaws they look alrite on him.
Sumtimes he crolles in a large base
voice
And luther times he is stunt.
His hind legs is delishus and very

And he never gifts mad or vilunt.
His food is bugs witch he spores with

And wun thing he don't do is choo.

PRESS COMMENT
Courtesy.

AOQTkGSys
Treating customer like a rich un
Gle, SO that you may extract his coin
is not courtesy-that's foresight.
Offering seat to a man who enters
your office is not courtesy-that's
duty.
Listening to the grumblins, growl-
ings and groanings of bore without
remonstrance is not courtesy-that's
forbearance.
Offering a companion a cigar when
you light one yourself is not courtesy
you'd be ill-bred if you didn't.
Helping pretty girl across the
street, holding her umbrella, carrying
her poodle-none of these is courtesy.
The first two are a pleasure and the
last is politeness.
Courtesy is doing that which moth
ing under the sun makes you do but
human kindness. Courtesy springs
from the heart; if the mind prompts
the action there is a reason; If there be
a reason, it is not courtesy; for cour-
tesy has no reason. Courtesy is good
will, and good will is prompted by the
heart full of love to be kind.
Only the generous man is truly
courteous-he gives freely without a
thought Of receiving anything in re-
turn. The generous man has developed
kindness to such an extent that he con-
siders everyone as good as himself
and treats others not as he should
like to be treated (for generosity asks
nothing) but as he ought to be treated.

A Wave of Murders.

There has been an unusually heavy
| budget of crime in the vicinity in the
past few days: the lives of several
have been taken away by their fellow
men, in haste, in anger, or from GU
pidity. 1t is enough to give us pause,
and to make us consider the causes,
and the possible remedies.
1t is one of the peculiarities of cap
ital crime that period of unusual
heat is nearly always accompanied by
an unusual number of killings. Police
experts over the country have COM
mented upon it often, and psychol-
ogists have advanced several explana-
tons for it.
The reason commonly given is that
intense heat has an effect of loosening
the self restraint of a man or woman,
causing them to give rein to their
impulses, without needing the counsel
of good sense and cool Judgment.
Extremes of any nature have a SINH
lar result. Protracted periods OF in
tense cold cause crime to increase; but
not so much as intense heat. 1t is
noteworthy that those peoples which
spend their existence beneath the trop-
ical sun are more hot tempered, pas
sionate and eager for violence than
those who live in a temperate cline.
Thus we have nature teaching us
that 1t Is by the golden mean, in CHI
mate ana temperature, as in other
things. that life is most encouraged.

Praise for smithwick.

TTdiS6 TOT oT1iIHWlCk'
Hon. H. J. Drane, congressman from
the first Florida district, is at home
for a short stay. On the occasion of a
visit to the Tribune he incidentally re-
marked that Florida does not realize
what an able willing. popular con-
gresham it has in Hon. John Harris
Smithwick, democrat, of Pensacola.
He says Mr.. Smithwick has become
known as one of the ablest of the
southern short term of service con-
gressmen, and that his circle of friends
is perhaps larger for the time he has
been in Washington, than any other
man can boast. The reasons for this
reputation and popularity, said Con-
gresham Drane, are his fitness for
the place and his cheerful willingness
to serve the people.
The Tribune has long known that
Congressman SmithwicS is an able
man. 1t has watched with pleasure his
growing popularity. 1t took real pride
in his reelection last time The Tri-
bune hoped before the election that the
Third district of Florida would realize
the Importance of returning a good
man at least often enough for the dis
trict to have some influence in con-
gress. The habit of West Florida has
been to change congressman every
term. 1t appears there are so many
politicians and so much congressional
timber in that part of the state, that
in order to make the rotation easy they
would not let man stay in more than
one term. Some of them, even, have
resigned before their term was out.
But when they elected this red-headed,
,freckie faced, more than half Irishman
of brains, and knowledge of how to use
Them they put in man who is going
to be hard to beat from now on. His
re- election was a sumner to the po-
litical ring. The fact that he is be-
coming strong in Washington brings
real pleasure and reinsurance to his
friends. 1t means that If the Third
Florida district knows what is good
for it, there will not be the usual BIZ
ennial changes in congressional repre-
sentativeship from now on.
Mr. Smithwick is a representative
of all Florida, and strongly so of his
district. The Tribune is glad Mr..
Drane, the congressman from the First
district, has spoken of him as he did.
Worth recognizes worth. 1t takes big
man to publicly acknowledge that there
is another man as big as he is in the
same line of business; but that's the
kind of man Herbert j. Drane is. TAX
ing it as a whole there are few states
which have as strong a representation
in congress, the house and senate, as
has Florida--Tampa Tribune.

The National Game.


There is a woman in New Jersey
who says she now knows why the jur-
list who decided her case in court is
called the wce-chancellor. And here's
why:
The vice chancellor decided that a
child of five years may go to a Sunday
ball game in defiance of his mothers
wishes. The woman in the case is
the mother.
The decision was not exactly in the
words quoted, but it's effect works
out that way. The child belonged to a
divorced couple and in the decree of
separation it was stipulated that the
boy should be with the father on Sum
day afternoons.
The male parent was a genuine fan
and as soon as he got the boy he
would head for the bleachers, where
the two would have a pleasant after
noon watching the game and eating
peanuts.
But the mother objected to the I'M
cody program and went to court
about it. She asked that the husband
be refused the right to take his Off
spring to the Sunday ball game. But
the jurist declined to amend the de-
cree and held that the father can
take the child within the debauching
environment of the dimond if he in
sists on this program ard the mother
shall not stay his hand.
And here we have a new angle of the
Sunday enforcement agitation.-St.
Petersburg Times.

Must Cut Taxes.

Senator Borah is right in one thing.
II the republican congress does not
find way to tighten the tax burdens
of the country the political complex
ion of the next house will be quite diff
ferent. Excuses will not suffice. Every
body knows that if expenses are kept
up to the present standard the tax
rate must keep up also. And it may be
true that all. or most, OF the public
money is spent for worthy purposes.
But the people do not want to invest
it that way.
The man who has to work steadily
and has trouble keeping ends together
in his economic affairs simply doesn't
want to buy stock in battleships at this
time. He would rather do. with less Of
the good things for which the govern
ment spends the cash, and keep the
cash at home to assist his family.
II statemen cannot get that point of
view. they may as well prepare for a
fall II they think they can pile on
four or five billions Of taxes, at time
when everything else is coming down,
and not incur the wrath of the people
they have another guess coming

A Story With Two Heroes.

A Story With Two Heroes.
When Elmer Mowdy returned from
France, he brought with his an ugly
shrapne1 scar received on one of the
four battIefronts where he saw action.
1t was an honorable mark of service,
that scar but it had it's disadvantages.
10 was valueless as meal ticket. So
when Elmer Mowdy was wandering
about Kenosha, Wis, one day recently,
tired, hungry, out of work, he took the
meal question quite literally into his
own hands. 1t was early in the day,
and the bottles of matutinal milk that
adorned Kenosha's porches beckoned
another kind of bottle might have held
for another kind of man. Elmer Mowdy
took one and called it breakfast.
Unfortunately, our legal codes call 1t
something worse than that. AS q Sc
queI therefore, Elmer Mowdy appeared
in court to answer to the charge of
stealing. He answered readily enough.
I'm not begging for anything. 1 was
hungry and starving to death. I came
here from Rock Island, looking for
work I couldn't find it. I couldn't
starve, and I'm guilty of the charge
of taking the milk"
Then the judge-his name is James
E. Tully-.-did a queer thing. He called
a self confessed milk thief mister. Mr..
Mowdy," he said, II want to thank you
for the service you rendered the Uni
ted States during her time of need.
You did your share, and if the gov
eminent has been forgetful, as repub-
lies are, it is to her discredit. cannot
sit here on the bench and pronounce
sentence against you. You may con-
slider, yourself discharged. May God
bless you and give you more prosper
