SMALL HOME NOW
ADVOCATED TO
END DEPRESSION

The very best thing to complete
the rout of the depression would be
a nationwide building program, add
Ing 50,000,O00 to 75,0O0.000 rooms to
American homes by use of private
capital. So said President Henry l.
Hartman of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce at Buffalo few
days ago. Such a program, he In
sisted, would do for business what
the automobile did a few years ago.
And this would be no sudden squirt,
for. In Mr.. Harriman's opinion, 1t
would take ten years to build merely
the houses necessary for q minimum
standard of decency and comfort. He
estimates the total cost of construc-
tion alone at close to $4,000, 000,0 600
And to that may be added more bill
lions for furnishings.
A survey conducted by the Ma
tIonal Association of Real Estate
Boards In 273 cities reveals short
age of single family houses In ~ per
cent of the cities. and shortage of
apartment space In the smaller cities.
The home shortage Is more pro-
nounced In the smaller cities and is
especially noticeable In New Eng
land, the Pacific coast, and the West
South Central section.
What this country needs, declared
the Southern Lumberman, Is not
model apartments but small indIvld-
ual homes. And by small homes 1t
does not mean houses costing around
S9,0O0-for which there Is. indeed
market-but houses costing In the
neighborhood of $1,000 or $4,000. For
these there is much greater de-
mand, and "the architects and build
ers and promoters seem to have for
gotten That there ever was that kind
OF a house."
The Southern Lumberman thinks
that II means could be found to
finance such building 1t would open
a very large untapped field OF activ-

There Is another message conveyed In
this model. namely the vogue for trim
ming touches OF velvet on the spring
cloth coat. In the coat pictured vel

wide single scarf end. There are also
velvet cordIngs at the waistline and
on the sleeves. The notable thing
about the other coat In the picture IL
that 1t carries rather boyIsh air. II
seems the younger clientele are hav
ing their coats fashioned somewhat
after the lines OF their brothers and
what's more they are topping their
boyish coats with felt hats which Bug

Note the self-fabric scarf. The sleeves
are interesting In that they gain their

In q general survey one Is brought
to realize that coats for girls In their
teens divide into two distinct classes.
On the one hand there are the very
sporty models and In contrast there
are the ladylike dressler types which
are emfnently refined and genteel
looking. For the former. ravishlng
tweeds are cited In colors which
gladden. the heart In their youthful
gaiety. When IT comes to monotone
tweeds there Is a grayed green which
Is the hit OF the season. Soldier blue,
which Is lighter than navy, Is also
proving a great favoriate. And Ii you
are wanting to look every inch voguish
you will choose a plaid wool for your
early spring coat. Plaids are all the
rage for suits as well. So also are
checks.

Clothes for Spring Are
Practical and Attractive

In general, spring clothes are con
servatlve and wearable. The two

of several years.
There are no extravagant changes.

In suits, a simple raglan shoulder. The

there is no doubt that lot OF mail Is

Questions Arise

What is stated In these IA points In

word OF every point has the authority
In one way or another Of the Presi-
dents spoken or written word-not In

measured discussion.
There is question as to the Con-
stitutlonal authority In some instances,
for example In the regulation OF GER
tain lines OF intrastate business. This
may be decided by the courts. II any
such decision should be adverse to
the administration program, an effort
will be made to amend the Constitu-
ton SO as to permit the national gov
eminent to go ahead. This was clear

wanted to add something. Such add

example, 1t was not desired to include
anything about which there could be

Half the persons to- whom the points

Brain Trust Active

For example. Prof. Raymond Moley
has not really passed out OF the pic
ture at all True. he resigned from
the State department after his row
with Secretary Hull, but he slips
down to the White House with surpris-
Ing frequency. Just recently the Pres
ident told the newspaper men that he
had read certain article of rays"
before 1t was published In his maya
zine.
If anyone thinks Felix Frankfurter,
OF the Harvard branch of the brain
trust, Is out of the picture, he Is badly
misinformed. His bright young men
are still carrying on In key positions.
Tugwell has not even suffered what
seemed to be temporary eclipse. He
has been In the sun all the time. Even
his row with George Peek, which so
intrigued most OF the forward looking
writer's. was just temporary affair.
They are working hand In hand again.
Which may or may not be connected
with the fact that Peek Is looming big
again In the administration picture.
But the Tugwell food and drug bill
is part and parcel Of the Roosevelt
scheme for shaping the lives and des-

Misrepresentation In advertising Of
foods or drugs, assuming that the mis-
representation merely takes the form
of overstatements or Measurements
about products which are not actually
harmful but merely do not represent
a wise purchase on the part OF the
customer, Is not SO wicked as peddling
securities which turn out to be worth
less In the eyes OF the administration.
