LOCAL CREDIT.

Credit conditions here were
never better than at the present
time, according to Col. Stephen
H. Takes, secretary of the Asso-
ciated Retail Credit Men Of
Washington, which includes in its
membership representatives of
practically all large business or.
carnations.
General collections have been
better this month than at any
time in the past three or fc"-
years, according to records in the
office of Colonel Takes, and. in
the view of merchants and credit
men this indicates a new recog-
milton of responsibility on the
part of those seeking credit. 1t
also implies that general bust
ness is on the upgrade and that
fear of pay cuts and dismiSSalS
has vanished from the Govern
ment service.

association records Government

prompt in meeting current credit
obligations.

WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS NOW
IS A GOOD SIS HOUSE

The late Vice President Thomas r.
Marshall once lifted his office temporarily
from obscurity by announcing that what
the country needed most was a good five
cent cigar.
Now Writer Mark Granite comes for
ward in The Nation to remark that what
the country needs most of all is a good
$25 house.
That isn't quite as wild a demand as it
sounds. What Mr.. Granite means is a
new, modern, well-built house Of five or
six rooms which could be purchased for
$50 a month, covering interest charges,
taxes, upkeep, and payment on the prin-
cipal-a house, in other words, that would
cost not more than $4,000 to build, occupy
ing a $500 lot.
Even with these modificatio such a
goal looks very distant indeed. Yet with
all the recent talk about slum clearance
and some of il has been very fine talk-we
are going to have to approach some such
figure as this if our slum clearance is to
amount to anything.
The one outstanding fact about a slum
is that people live in it because they can't
afford to live anywhere else. The slum is
occupied by a low-wage group and in that
group $25 a month is just about tops, as
far as paying rent is concerned.
Several model slum clearance jobs have
already been begun. But in most cases
the rents will not be down in the brackets
which ordinary slums jewellers can touch.
We can rebuild our slums until dooms-
day, but if we don't replace them with
houses which cost no more in rent than
the old ones cost, we shall simply be chas-
ing our tails around in a circle, with new
slums arising automatically to replace the
ones that are destroyed.
Unless all signs fail, we are about to
pour huge additional sums into public
works. The bulk Of these will be more or
less unproductive, in the sense that new
housing is productive; that is, As Mr..
Granite says, "a road. a bridge, a dam, a
pile of concrete in a desert pays no taxes.
buys no furniture, solves no personal
human problems, houses no happy chill
dren, kindles no hearth fires, does not
warm the hearts of men,"
Why not pour some Of these projected
public works billions into low-cost nous
ing? If the money is to be spent any
way, why not put it where il would do the
most good?
We would then be solving a very great

AS the days passed Mrs. Vain.
wright became aware OF what she
called "a changed Valeria."
The restless girl who had opened
sleepy eyes about noon vas gone.
In her place was a freshly groomed
niece, ready for breakfast at the
conservative hour Of nine, prepared
to plunge with zest into her days
program.
The program itself amazed her
aunt even more. Valeria, who had
shirked similar tasks throughout
her girlhood, had volunteered to
aid in a half dozen worthy enter
prises. She had become actively
interested in her guilds welfare
work. She spent most OF the days
for one entire week collecting gar.
ments for tho needy. She had ac-
cepted the Craftsmanship OF a group
that was doing VACANT work in the
Community Chest drive. She had
inspired the sponsorship OF a new
free clinic for children. Her pic.
ture had appeared in the papers
frequently. but never in any studied
pose.
CHE had been caught by a pho
tol1apher among a group OF
children at the clinic. During the
drive she was photographed pinnins
a button on the coat OF a contribu-
tor. Another time. a two-column
picture appeared showing Valeria
entering a poverty-stricken home,
her arms filed with packages.
Mrs. Wainwright was amused ~
first, then puzzled. AS the days
passed, she was almost convinced
that az last Valeria lad decided to
give up her wild ways" and settle
down.
Valeria confirmed the idea one
morning. I'm fed up with parties"
she said pensively. II realize I've
wasted a lot OF time"

aunt said dryly. She added. be-
