HOUSING SHORTAGE
| SLOWLY REDUCED
81 Cities Report Supply of
" Houses Now Equals
Demand.

The fact that the housing shortage
is gradually being overcome in most
parts of the United States is revealed
in figures assembled by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
which show that out of 20 cities
six1y-cne have met the situation IN
only thirty-one cities Is there an
acute shortage, while in the others
there is only a shortage in certain
kinds of houses. For the most part
conditions are much better III the
eastern states than elsewhere.
One interesting bit of information
~ that in the opinion of real estate
men in the various cities there ap-
pears little danger OF an over pro-
duction of homes. Apparently large
number OF cities have reached the
point of a balance of supply and de-
mand.
II is evident that rents have not
begun to drop I" any very great eX-
tent as vet. OF the cities reporting
E3 u.r cent declare that rents are
still advancing and So per cent say
rents are stationary, leaving only IL
per cent in which there ia down
ward trend
Market conditions are reported gen
orally az good. although in a small
number of towns sales are poor.
With respect to building. the re-
port generally is that there IS an
abundance of mortgage money to be
had at mostly from to per cent.
In ten cities reporting the rate is
higher than per cent and in IL Few
instances it is as high as II per cent.
More than half of the cities report
the labor market as good, with suth-
cient labor available under taVoraple
conditions serious shortage of
building labor is reported in 81 per
cent of the towns. The Inference is
that the trend of building wages i'll
most cities has reached the. peak, at
least for time.
Almost everywhere there appears
to be an increase in suburban build
ing especially in the larger cities.

Nanny knew that nothing would suit
him better than a fat Meadow Mouse
for his breakfast. Slowly he glided
along until he reached the bush in
which was the home that Nanny and
Danny had found so safe and COM
Portable. Mr.. Blacksnake looked up.
He saw that nest. He didn't know
whose nest that was. He hadn't hap
pened to see 1t before. He just took
1t for granted that IL was the nest
of bird. He looked all around for
owners of that nest, but, of course,
he saw none. 1t might be a deserted
nest. Then again it might be that
there were young birds in 1t, and
their parents were off hunting food
for them. Anyway, 1t was worth
looking into, for 1t wasS'S much of q
climb.
So Mr.. Blacksnake began to climb
up to that nest. 1t was just then
that Danny Meadow Mouse came r$p-
ming up behind Nanny. He saw at
once that Nanny was frightened. He
crept up close beside her.
What Is 1t. my DEAR" whispered
Danny
Nanny didn't say word. She just
pointed up At their home in the alder
bush. Danny looked. Then he, too.
almost stopped breathing, and cold
shivers ran all over him. from his
blunt little nose to his stubby little
tail Side by side they stood and
watched. keeping perfectly still, too
frightened to move.
Mr.. Blacksnake climbed slowly up
to that nest. They saw him raise his
head to look into 1t. and they shiv-
cred as they thought of what would
have happened had he found that
nest when Redwlng and Mrs. Red
wing had babies in it. They saw a
+ look of surprise as Mr.. Blacksnake
discovered that he couldn't look into
that nest. because there was a roof
on II. They saw him look it over
very carefully, and then put his
head in at their little round doorway
In moment he withdrew II. There
was disappointed look on his face

they thought of what a different look
he would have had had they been al
