be one OF the nationally important
figures to appear on the program of
the annual convention of the Ma
tional Paint, Varnish and Lacquer As
sociation, scheduled to meet in Wash
ington on Wednesday. Thursday and

In his new position Mr. Richberg
has taken over a ma jority of the duties
formerly assigned to Gen. Hugh S.
Johnson, and at present is engaged
in making new plans for the further
development of N. R. A. BY virtue
of his important position in the pres
ent administration, his address at the
general session of the paint conven-

already made reservations.
Announcement is also made that
Henry I. Hartman, president of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
will be the banquet speaker of the
convention at the Mayflower Hotel, in
Washington, Friday evening. Mr..

UNIT for occupancy. The excess num-
Der of families now doubling up in
row and detached dwellings is reported
1878, as against total vacant dwell
ings, not including the 1900 unfit
for occupancy, of only 6,2l6 houses.
Due to various causes, the report
states, the number Of excess families
is probably considerably larger than
the figure of 1878, which is regarded
as a minimum.
The report shows that there is no
surplus Of unoccupied single family
houses in the city over the normal
supply OF about per cent, and that
the supply of unoccupied detached
houses is only per cent.
