TIME HOME buyer and his problems
was the topic of the speech deliv-
cred at the banquet OF the New
York State Association OF Real Estate
Boards in the Hotel Ten Eyck. Albany,
OH October 20. by John NJ. Cries. chief OF
the division of housing of the United
States Department of Commerce. He
said in part:
Surveying the country from coast TO

find housing conditions spotted. Here

cities, in which there are many more
houses than Jobs. The leaders in the
upbuilding of those towns or cities failed
to forecast clearly their future. On the
other hand we find cities In which tho
planning was inadequate. the forecast
was faulty and the builders were unable
TO meet the demand for new houses.
AS long as two or more families must

people must live in unsanitary houses,
there is housing shortage that should
be remedled. Some one may say that
there Is no housing shortage In his city.
This may be true. II may also be true

for several ten, twelve and fourteen

For longer wave lengths the bank
wound coil is used to reduce the dis
tributed capacity in winding multi
layer inductances. Fig. 4 shows how

inductances are arranged.

In a "duo-lateral" winding the con-

not parallel as they are in the bank

capacity are most efficient for short
wave tuning while duo-lateral wound
coils of large diameter, with a small
amount Of shunted capacity for tun-
ing, are most efficient for long wave
