Just a Good Start

Events to come are vastly more
significant than those whose
shadows already have material
ized. The three billion dollars
poured out by the Home Owners
Loan Corporation to saYe a mil

more released for new construc-
ton through the operations of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board,
the Reconstruction Finance Cor

Administration; the hundred or
more large or small-scale housing
projects sponsored by the Public
Works Administration, the Re
settlement Administration and the
emergency relief agencies; the
others initiated by private agen-
cies or individuals but financed
by the Governmental these are
only a start.
Here's the way Washington
looks at it:
/. To meet minimum stand
ards of comfort and convent
ence and maintain family occu-
pancy standards on the basis of
1880, not less than 13 million
additional dwelling units are
needed in the United States
now. And that is but one phase
of the problem.

from rural housing, the farmer
likewise is entitled to whatever
assistance is required to meet

The secret of making good coffee
is TO bring the freshly boiling water
in contact with the ground coffee
just long enough to extract the full
flavor. Prolonged cooking develops
bitterness. That is what learned
the other day In a talk with Miss
Doris II. Tisdale of the Chase &
Sanborn Institute, who knows her
coffee"
With this principle In mind, any
OF the three general methods OF
preparation can be used success
fully, she told me: the drip method.

boiling water varies with individual
taste. one heaping tablespoon OF
