Textile Activity
Up l6 Per Cent
From 1885 Level
special Dispatch To The Star.


NEW YORK, October 15.-Textile
mill activity during the first eight
months Of 1885 was 16 per cent above
that for the same period Of 1885, ac-
cording to the Textile World Analyst
in the October issue.
"As demand. and consequently pro-
duction, are continuing at high rate,
the total for this year is sure to be
well above last year.
Mill activity in August alone-the
last month for which full statistics
are available at this writing-was "a
per cent above that Of the 1924-1931
average for this month. Along with
this continued increase in production
has been a steady improvement in
manufacturing margins, and therefore
in profit possibilities.
Although most prices rose slightly
in September, the movement was not
sufficient to cause any change in
Textile Worlds price index numbers,
and, with the exception of raw silk,
which lost point, August figures were
duplicated all along the line"

Home Modernization
New Type of Fan Combines Circulation of Air
With Illumination of Room.

Another ingenious person has
brought out q fan that you can stick
your hand into and not hurt yourself.
It will prove to be q boon to people
who have always wanted to put theF
hands in fans and have never quite
dared to do 1t. On the other hand,
it does present q pleasing appearance,
compared with the old-fashioned types
with the wire cages built around the
outside.
These fans have blades made Of
flexible rubber shaped in such q man
ner they produce q large movement
of air with a minimum Of noise. They
can be placed in reach Of children and
you can be relatively sure that they
aren't going to have their small hands
and fingers chopped to pieces. Even
the best of us have had narrow escapes
and occasional accidents with the old
type fans, particularly when searching
for the switch with which to turn
them on or OF in dark room. These
fans will eliminate that hazard.
II you want to use some sort Of fan
to get the maximum amount Of COM
fort at the lowest cost this Summer

BY LAWRENCE CRoLIUs.

The season for violent tanning Is
close at hand. 80 possibly you will
be interested In a new fan lamp which
has just been put on the market.
This isn't just an ordinary device
that blows a blast Of air in your face
or across a table. throwing things into
a general state of confusion. On the
contrary, it creates q gentle breeze
that is hardly noticeable at first, but
soon after it is started you begin to
feel the circulation Of air around the
room.
The fan mechanism Is contained
in the top part Of a floor lamp with
an attractive shade and good-looking
base. The shade completely hides
the fan and motor, so that for all in
tents and purposes it is q handsome
piece of lighting equipment and SEEM
ingly not an efficient air-moving de-
vice as well.
In addition to the fan located un-
der the shade there is large socket
which will accommodate q 600-watt
ultra violet or infra-red bulb. Or,
If you prefer, you can use q large IN
direct-lighting bulb, casting light upon
the ceiling. from whence 1t is reflected
down to you.
When the outfit Is being used as
health-ray machine you pivot the
, head of the lamp sideways 80 the
ultra violet rays are directed down
on you.
1t also is possible to use the device
as an ordinary lamp, there being two
sockets for ordinary light bulbs down
below the main part. where the fan
and high-power light reside.
You can well imagine this little
unit in full swing, the ultra violet
lamp tanning you to nice, healthy
color and warming you besides, then
the fan gently circulating air about
the room and the lamps supplying
light for a comfortable session with
book. 1t would be almost like TAX
ing a short vacation every time you
turned in on.

to move the entire air contents OF the
house in a few minutes. yet they can
be moved around to different parts of
the house as desired. The sizable
motor is mounted in a rigid frame
covered on all sides, but the front with

IN HOUSING FIELD
-,
Architect Declares Private
Enterprise Sidesteps
Problem.

Private enterprise has sidestepped
the housing problem by sponsoring
programs stuffed with red herrings,
Frederick L. Ackerman Of New York,
fellow Of the American Institute OF
Architects, charged in a statement
made public at the sixty-eighth con-
vention of the institute, held this week
at Williamsburg, Va.
In the work OF financing and pro-
ducing habitations, private enterprise
Is forced to treat more than two-thirds
of the population as non-existent,"
declared Ackerman, a member OF the
institutes COMMITTEES on Housing.
"This is how the matter has been
handled in the past; there seems to be
no help for it within the framework
Of the price system.
"The adoption of any Of the pro-
grams sponsored by private enterprise
would serve to increase our rising bal
ance Of ever more obsolete structures.
The programs recently sponsored by
private enterprise offer nothing what
soever toward the solution OF the
. housing problem; they serve to docu-
ment the breakdown of our economy.
Sees Challenge in Situation.
/ The market" for the new habita =
tions is at present limited to less than
one-third of the total population
Ackerman pointed out. The growing
discrepancy between what the 'ex-
plotted group is able to pay and the
lowest cost-of-use which may be nae
through financing and constructor
under private enterprise constitutes
n challenge which sponsors of oui
debt economy have sought to eVaoe
by programs stuffed with red her
rings" he continued.
Housing has become a mucr
broader question than that OF provid'
ing habitations for the poor or the
lower income groups or the under
privileged or the exploited which
ever term one prefers to employ.
Private enterprise now lays claim
to the work of financing, producing
selling or operating habitations fol
100 per cent of our population; ane
at the same time proposes that tht
housing problem be considered a!
solved even though two-thirds o.
more Of the total population live II
second, third, and nth-hand houses.

Get up as to the rate of production o.

1T should be noted that. with diff
ferential distribution Of income as II
, 1929, the market for new habitations
financed and sponsored by private en-
terprise, was confined, approximately
to one-third Of our total population
At present the market is limited to
much smaller fraction. Total popu
lation is still growing: all habitation

suficient number of new units pro

In order to maintain, through time
one living unit for each family Of ou
total population, private enterplSs
must produce, per unit of time, NOR
than three times as many units a
would be required to maintain tn
same one-to-one relationship withil
