The iniallible wisdom of RoOse-
welt for which Sinclair shoves so
hard, was such that the winter
of 1884 was the most trying the
American people have ever
known. The MIRA system
while permitting retail prices to
increase without restriction, also
brought its inevitable cOnse-
quenccs. The workers were I'M
able to buy what they had pro
duCed and production began an
other swift decline. The only
remedy was initiation. -. The eff
feet Of initiation was to render the
minimum wage program mean
inglcss, because a continual rise
in prices meant IA continual cut
ting OF real wages" Up. 1920 g.

Roosevelt, the NRA, Sinclair and
EPIC. Bigger doses of wage cuts,

Sinclair's prescription.
A host of charges remain that
could be made against Sinclair

that his cooperative" farms

The conditions of the pulp cut

any other branch of the lumber
industry. Ninety-five per cent
of them are on relief. The men,
after working for two or three
years, haven't been able to pro-

day after day during the rainy

The women and children of

erty, many OF the women as well

These cutters receive $l9j for

Scientific Kitchen Ensemble
Links Refrigerator and Sink

Science has entered the kitchen.
In the planning and arrangement OF
that part of the home in which the
housewife spends so much of her time,
architects and home economists have
accomplished much In recent years,
with the saving of time and steps as
their objective.
The poorly located sink or refrig-
orator may add two or three steps
for the housewife each time she uses
them, or the lack of cupboard and
work space at certain points in the
kitchen might easily double the labor
entailed in the preparation of single
meal. In one year this would be COM
parable to preparing and clearing
some 1000 meals instead Of the
average 1895.
The best planned kitchens have the
three major pieces Of equipment
refrigerator, sink and range-so ar
ranged with work space, that steps
are reduced to a minimum.
Entering the kitchen from the out
side, the refrigerator should be first,
than a work space with the sink and
drip board next in line. Another work
space should separate this from the
range, and it might be good plan

Long-Term Borrowing at 5 Per
Cent Finds Appeal In Crowded
Areas.

A number OF leaders in the Wash
ington real estate world prophesied
today that the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration's construction and mort
gage proposals will furnish the spark
plug needed to send the Capitals
long ng-slumbering building business
down the road to recovery.
They stated that what the Gov
ernment has offered the home pur-
chasing public so far in the way Of
means TO make easier mortgage
money and more favorable terms
could not have fitted the Washington
situation better II it had been de-
signed especially as local measure.
The real estate business in the city
has shown tremendous improvement
during the present year over 1888.
Although new building has been in
creasing by leaps and bounds it has
not by any means kept pace with
rentals. Consequently there is a
shortage in the Capital of both apart
ments and single family dwellings.
Shortage Due to Crowding.
This shortage, it is pointed out in
realty circles, is due to the crowding
into already available space by per-
sons who desire their own living
quarters but are reluctant to at
tempt to carry the necessary financial
burden because Of rather unfavor-
able terms offered, as well as to the
large increase in Government per-
sonnel.
