Washingtons dwelling units do not
use gas or electricity for cooking as
compared with 26.5 per cent for the
"a cities.
There are also in Washington Is ,536
or 1873 per cent of the total dwelling
units that do not have central heating
plants, which is a smaller percentage
than most of the Federal survey cities.
Regarding plumbing equipment, IA
493 or 10.4 per cent of Washington's
dwelling units do not have private in
door water closets as compared with an
average of Ill for the 81 cities. Run
ming water is not provided in 4,571 or
3.3 per cent of the units as compared
with an average of 81 in the Nation
wide survey.
Cities Below Standard.
While these comparisons on facili-
ties show Washington as being better
off than the average for the "a cities
included in the survey the reverse is
true when compared with cities of
comparable size. To mention few
Cleveland, Ohio; Minneapolis. Mimi;
Providence, R. l., and Syracuse. N. Y,
all have smaller percentage of dwell
ing units lacking these facilities. The
inclusion of many smaller cities in the
Federal survey tends to increase the
average percentage of dwelling units
that do not have these facilities.
Washington on the whole compares
very favorably with cities Of COM
parable size with respect to the over
crowded condition of its dwelling
units. Only 1878 or So per cent Of
the homes in Washington reported
more than one and one-haf persons
per room. Twelve and one-tenth per
cent report one to one and one-half
persons per room.
One extra family was reported in
each of 8,722 of the dwelling units
and two or more were reported in
1889 units. There is also the proba-
bility that a certain amount of over
crowding exists in many rooming
houses in the city, but no data are
available as these types Of units were
not included in the survey.

until they mature, stage which may
be easily detected by the yellowing of
the foliage. The leaves are now busily
engaged in the manufacture of foods
for the bulbs. One reason why cro-
cuSes disappear from the lawn Is the
failure to withhold the cutting of the
foliage.
When the temperature dropped to
26 degrees in the suburbs recently,
many gardeners wondered about the
reaction of their daffodils, young rose

to have come through safely, although
it is truly marvellous that this tender
appearing foliage should be so truly
sturdy.
Nicotine sprays will keep dogs away
from the evergreens and shrubs and,
If applied at recommended strength,
will do no harm and actually benefit

oNHGEIT. the young gentleman was in
thoughtful mood. He reflected - and
with excellent reason - that he had
been born, but never made.
The odds had been against him from the
start. Long before he was conscious of such
things as inhibitions, his parents christened
him Cyril and within five years thereafter it
became apparent that he was destined to
justify their pessimism.
He survived a boring boyhood, negotiated
four pallid years at Harvard. graduated as
mere name in long list, moved sadly away
from the banks of the placid Charles, bought
himself new sports roadster and journeyed
to Florida in search of something which
neither came in books. nor was addicted to
them.
The natives liked him. They averred that
he wasn't a so-and-so, like most of these
rich guys. And the Chief of Police, in par
tic,llar, swore vehemently that he would never
forget the time when his mother was stricken
and Cyril Cramer "a gent and perfect
stranger - had rented plane to get him
there in time.
And that was the keynote of Cyril's life -
up to his twenty-fourth year. Occasionally, he
helped something to happen to somebody
else, but nothing ever happened to him. He
was always just another guest at the party,
another passenger on the liner, another dinner
jacket at the dance.
Here he was. alone in Florida - under
semi-tropic moon - with plenty of money,
an ABB. degree, and nagging loneliness. He
was considering life from all angles, and won
dering whether anything would ever happen
to him. Anything which was not exclusively
mental He had taken out his long, powerful
blue car and had rolled along the Florida
