The prefabricated house must be
put on the market at q cost Of not
more than $4,5o0 with land If 1t Is to
prove a success. according to survey
by Clyde Z. Rogers in the current issue
Of the Annalist. To date none of the
manufacturers Of prefabricated houses
has more than touched this market.
Houses Of this type must be sold
among those whose income Is less than
$4,000 a year. The higher income
groups are already well supplied by
predepression construction. The great
market that will make possible the
economies Of mass production must be
found among those who now pay $50
o month rental or less.
obviously, according to Mr.. Rogers,
the ultimate saving from the use Of
the prefabricated house depends not
only on the reduction Of labor on the
lot, but also to the extent to which
mass-production methods In the fac.
tory succeed in reducing the costs of
factory fabrication. Each Of the houses
thus far erected has, Of course, cost
many times It's nominal price. The
attempt to transfer field operations to
the factory can be successful only II
the manufacturer Is able to sell o
large number of units. The question
Of prime Importance, then, In attempt
ing to appraise the economic signifi-
canoe Of pre-fabricated structures, Is
whether or not the public will buy
houses such as those recently shown
In suficient quantity to make factory
fabrication economical.
Estimates Difficult.
1T is extremely difficult to obtain
accurate estimates Of the total ac-
cumulated demand for new residential
construction. The most widely accepted
try is around one and one-half million
dwellings; in rural sections the poten.
tial market is probably somewhat less.
A total demand of 2,5o0, 900 units does
not appear improbable. The current
demand for new houses may be con-
servatively estimated at 100000 units
annually. Thus, If We are to bring
housing conditions back to any where
near normal during the coming 10
years, we shall have to build roughly
1000 900 new homes each year. The
shortage is almost entirely in accom-
modations for the lower-income
groups; there is still o surplus Of the
types Of property demanded by FAM
lilies having incomes Of $4,000 or over.
What, then, must be the goal OF
companies seeking to reach this low
cost market? The housing survey

It is within the power of the gov

this situation. The remedy is simple,
but the results would be tremendous,
and would spell the difference be-

TODAY,s YESTERDAYS

Sept. 10. 1783-Hhe worlds first air
passengers took off in balloon from
Versailles, near Paris, before gap
ing crowd of $4,000 They rose 14OC
feet and drifted two miles, landing
eight minutes later in a wood.
Not one word could the first air
passengers say of their epochal ad-
venture. For they were shep.
cock and a duck!
Joseph Montgolfier, 43, and his
brother Etienne, 38, chose them to
test the first balloon capable of bear
ing weight. 1t was of Waterprooted
linen, 46 feet in diameter, given bouy-
ancy by smoke from straw and shaw
ings burning beneath it.
Sept. 10, 1S59-Dixie, anthem of
the South. was first sung in min
strel at Bryants Theatre in New
York.
Three different songs with this
title were popular in the days of the
War Between the States!
One was a ballad composed by T.
M. Cooley, northerner. Another was
written by Albert Pike, southerner.
It was the one composed by Daniel
Decatur Emmett, ID, of Mount Yer
non, O., that was appropriated by tho
Confederacy as a war song after it
was played by chance by a military
band at the Inauguration of Jeffer-
son Davis in Montgomery, Ala.
It was written in one day, on short
notice, to fill a spot in the show in
which Emmett was appearing, and
he himself was first to sing it.
Sept. 10, 1880-The first boycott
was declared 1t took it's name be-
cause this species of organized ostra-
cism formulated by Charles Stewart
Parnell, rish political leader, was first
declared on this date against Charles
Cunningham Boycott, 48, agent for
the Earl of Erne in County Mayo.
The agent had refused to accept rents
at the figures fixed by the tenants
after the Earl had refused to lower
them.
Boycott's servants were compelled
to leave him, his fences were torn
down and cattle let loose, his letters
intercepted and food supplies stopped
his figure burned in effigy and his
life threatened. It took 900 Ulster
Orangemen to protect him.
Attention given the success of the
first boycott caused it to be adopted
the world over.
Sept 19, 189O-John D. Rockefeller
Sr., 81, began giving away his wealth
in large chunks. He bestowed ST.
100000 on the University of Chicago.
Since then his benefactions have
amounted to more than $500,OOO,000!

it produces about one-third of all the

6. The cnarter for the "town of

at one thousand yards from the de-

railroad. There was one proviso in
the charter, that was "the town

Passing the Buck to Grandpa was
originated by the psychologists, pri-
marily for their own edif1cation. When
confronted by problems in human
behavior they investigated the heredity
and early environment of the persons
concerned, and usually succeeded in
tracing the trouble back to some trivial
incident In the dim, dead past.
They did this to prove theories of
their own. Later the psychoanalysts
adopted the same system in catering
to their clients. When you got yourself
in q jam and appealed to pyscho-
analyst for consolation and advice, he
was able to prove that it wasn't your
fault at all; it was the fault Of some
older person who warped your sensitive
spirit when you were too young to
realize it. (According to the psyche

There are no whipping boys today.
Their modern equivalents are the an

For the most part, these ancestors
