DECENT HOUSING URGED
100000 Families Held Unable
to Pay for Comfort.

Prof. G. E. A. Winslow, director Of
the School of Public Health of Yale
University, has said there are 6,oOo,-
600 families in this country that must
be housed by the Government because
their income is SO low that they are
unable to purchase decent housing
Prof. Winslow declares that the hous-
ing of these people is at level lower
than that which obtains in the lead
ing countries of Europe, and inferior
to that used by cattle.
The idea that housing should be left
10 private enterprise he called a
romantic dream which had so far pre-
vented us meeting the problem and
providing the needed housing. In a
recent broadcast he charged to bad
housing immortality, delinquency and
inferior personalities.

Storm Windows for Home.

1t is not too late to install storm
windows on your house. If the rest
of your house is in good condition. free
from cracks and leaks. and if the
heating plant is in good shape, these
will decrease heat losses about 80 per

itself in fuel savings in short time.

that contributes but little to the jaypee discus

the parties responsible for the continuation OF the

+ In it's report to the assembled lawyers the COM

constitutional sanction for the omnibus Jaypee bills

suggested that holders Of such commissions might
be ousted by quo warranto proceedings. That ad-
mission is important, it seems to US, for two rea-
sons First, it puts the lawyermembers of the leg

bar responsibility fod launching quo warranto pro-

WASHINGTON - The amusing

Despite the fact that DR.. Town

no particular boom in the North
Dakota congressman's stock.
One reason is that it appears to
be manifeStly impossible to de

presidential candidate this year.
Townsend's hold on his followers
is none too firm. When the inn

IA further tipcoff' is that the

MUSICAL BACKGROUNDS
To- A woman who was on the pro-

a history. She told the history. 1t

desire to hear the poem. 1t is
good philosophy to preface read
ing of that kind that way.

the woman, "to play musical
background suitable for this beau

, Miss Dillon played and the wo-
man recited. But Miss Dillon
played so loudly that no one could
hear what the woman recited.

musical backgrounds. Just why

BEHIND THE SCENES

BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

of what cynical politicians call the
nut vote" and nobody really
knows how big that vote is.
YOU may have noticed an inter-
esting story about the night
flight of an army transport plane
to Jasper, Ala, to get bill passed
in the closing days of Congress to
Speaker William Bankhead for
signature
. Then the plane took off to
Uvalde, Tex, where Vice PreSi-
dent Garner also signed the meas
ure. The bill was supposed to be
a rather inconsequential enc.
overlooked in the last-minute rush
on Capitol Hill.
The inside story is this: In the
closing days the administration
pushed through a bill providing
tina congressional committees
might take recalcitrant witnesses
to court on contempt charges in
the summer and fall as well as
when Congress was in session.
The bill passed House and Sem
ate without amendment. But
someone. ON the Senate side wrote
on it "passed with amendments"
If that had cbeen correct, the bill
couldn't have become law, as
the House had no time to pass on
any Senate, amendments.
The bin went on the wrong pile
and considerable mixup resulted.
Finally everything was straight
ened out and the bill was saved by
the quick flight to Jasper and
Uvalde.
Significance Of the episode is
that important Senate investigat-
ing committees will be able to
make things Immediately hot for
witnesses who refuse to answer
their questions, instead Of being
compelled to wait until after cleo
tion-and until Congress recon-
venes in January-to be able to
start prosecutions

NEW BUILDING
URGENT, SAYS
DR.. BALL0U

CONGESTION in local schools
makes construction of a junior
senior high school in the Manor
Park section an immediate neces-
Sity.
This statement was made by DR..
Frank w. Ballou, Superintendent
of Schools, at a meeting of the
finance committee of the Board
of Education, at a special meeting
attended by all board members
yesterday to draw up plans for
o five-year Schoolhouse conStruc-
ton program.
Pointing out that the Powell,
Paul and Mcfarland Junior High
Schools in the Northwest section
are now each crowded by ESQ
pupils beyond their capacity, the
school superintendent declared
that a junior-senior high school
unit to the north of this area is
urgently needed. re said:
"The congestion in these
three schools will be twice as
great three years from now. We
must expand the juniOr-SeniOr
high school program in this
area. If we were to start con-
structiOn of a school in Manor
Park today, it would be filled to
capacity the day it was COM
pleted."
The school heads suggestion
that a new administration build
ing be built to replace the Frank
lin Administration Building was
met with objection by Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle. president of the
board, and originator of the five
year schoolhouSe construction pro-
gram, on the ground that the
needs of "our $4,000 school chill
dren whom we must educate un-
der the compulsory school attend
ance laws" should be the primary
concern of the board.
Children Come First
Mrs. Doyle told the committee:
81 feel very strongly that the
children should be taken care
Of first. We have been told
nu1NCEUuS WAAuCS kA@w 0OAAS
schools are OvercrOwded and un-
sanitary and that some build
ings, recommended for abandon
ment, are still in use. Eastern
High School is a firetrap. Other
schools are terribly crowded.
"a new administration build
ing is a fine idea. I believe we
should have one, but our pri-
mary concern must be the chill
dren."
Development of junior colleges
at public expense was recon-
mended by DR.. Ballou, who de-
clared, however, that this was not
the time to seek them when other
needs are more pressing.
Picks New Site
The school head suggested the
feasibility of school development
on the site now occupied by the
tuberculosis hospital, Thirteenth
and UpShur SITS. N. w., on which
could be constructed a new teach
ers college to replace the Wilson
Teachers College, and a new vo-
cational school to replace the
Dennison Vocational School.
The meeting of the finance COM
mittee followed special session of
the Board of Education called to
make appointments for the new
semester. The board appointed
Miss R. M. Stauffer, Mckinley
High School teacher, to be head of
the department of English, to sue
coed Miss S. E. SimonS, who is
retiring. The appointment takes
effect February /.
Some agitation had been ex-
pected because of a statement re-
Gently by DR.. Ballou that no quail
fled person could be found in the
local school system, with the ex-
pectltion that he would name an
outsider" Several board mem
bers had opposed such plan.
