More than 5000 builders, con-

HOME BUILDING
IN D. C. FOR '36
SHOWS BIC CAIN

New homes built in Washington
during 1886 provided housing for
more people than the estimated
population gain for last year, &C.
cording to c. J. Ryan, vice preSi-
dent Of Investors Syndicate, of
Minneapolis. Residential building
in Washington, D. c., however,
from 1881 to 1886, inclusive, shell
tered only 49.4 per cent of the esti-
mated population gain during
that time.
This new housing situation in
Washington was brought about by
a gain of 71.3 per cent in new
homes over those Of 1885 and an
increase of AZ per cent in the
estimated population over the pre-
ceding year. Furthermore, there
were more new homes erected in
Washington last year than in any
one year in more than seven years.
The Capital ranked fifth among
the list Of AZ regions studied, in
point of persons provided with
new homes last year.
These statements by Mr.. Ryan
were based on a housing survey
by his company of 80 cities,
situated in Al States and the Dis
trict of Columbia, containing more
than a third Of the nations
population.

There are many factors which
affect the apparent size and ap-
pearance of a room. When a room
is too small, or the ceilings too
high or too low or the light not
good, there are many ways to i'm
prove the situation, if it is not
possible for financial or architec.
tural reasons, to actually correct it.
The height and type of a ceiling
affect the apparent size of the
room and the size and location of
electric fixtures influences its ap-
pearance. The color of the walls
and the finish of the floor may be
an aid or a detriment to the fin.

Intelligent Thinking
 Need Of World Today
Speakers Discuss Catholic Philosophy in Current
 Events at Rosary Society's Banquet Last Evening

Clear and intelligent thinking along the lines of Catholic philoso- phy can do much to aid the world, declared Rev. Raymond O'Calla- ghan, director of the New London office of the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service, in an address last night at the annual banquet of the Holy Rosary Confraternity of St. Margaret's church at The Elton. More than 175 women of the parish attended the banquet. The princi- pal speakers were Father O'Calla- ghan and Dr. Jane Dargan, vice. principal of Bulkeley High school, Hartford.
 Speaking on "The Catholic Mind" Father O'Callaghan urged the coordination of Catholic thought with the thought and phi 1osophy of the church. The good Catholic, he said, not only follows the church's rules and traditions, but does them with intelligent thought and understanding.
 Catholic Philosophy
 Dr. Dargan, discussing common sense philosophy of life, declared that years of study and reading could bring the Catholic woman no better philosophy than that which has the Ten Commandments and the truths of the catechism as It's foundation. The person who bases her philosophy on those solid bases,

she said, will have clear mental picture of her life and her actions.
 A string ensemble directed by Mrs. Mae Brt played number of selec- tions. Solos were sung by Miss Loretta Skelly and Mrs. Katherine Pape.
 Rev. J. Oliver Cronan, spiritual adviser of the confraternity, acted as toastmaster. Remarks were made by Rev. John Conlan, pastor of the church. Rev. Peter P. Daly of St. Margaret's church also attended.
 Committee
 Mrs. Thomas Horrigan was chairman of the committee in charge of the banquet, aided by Mrs. William w. Deadly, Mrs. John M. Joy, Mrs. James F. Martone, and Mrs. John Fruin.
 Officers of the society are: Pres ident, Mrs. James Coyle; vice president, Mrs. Margaret Greaney secretary, Mrs. George Deconinck; treasurer, Mrs. Bernard Scanlon.

Public Utilities Attacked for Attitude on Hitch-Ekng
Recent Public Appeal Stirs Waterburian To
 Defense of Plumbers
Claims Economic Conditions Compel Some Persons to Seek Free Rides Correspondent PrOpOunds Inter-
 esting Points as to Utilities Being PubIic-Minded

one alleged desperate who betrayed the favor of a motorist. A criminal who has such intentions will com- init such an act regardless of the method he must employ to his end. If such a bandit has held up a bank, a home or store, it is hard ly reasonable to believe that the utilities would be interested suf- ficiently to clamor for better pro- lection for the public.
 Because am an employe of a factory where men and women from outlying towns work, I am in po- sition to know that for some of them to resort to hitch-hiking means the difference of them having or not having little spending money to realize few of the small pleasures of life. Many of my &C., quaintances find use for the money saved in their home and 1t helps provide for their families.
 It may be true that this group speak of comprises only section of our hitch-hikers, but they are from all appearances, those against whom the article Preferred toy is directed for most of the other hitch mixers haven't the money to spend for travelling and so believe it un- fair for the companies are not in- terested in this group for obvious reasons.
 Surveying the entire situation one might not be too unfair in accusing those who operate public transporta- tion of coming before the court of public opinion with hands that are not entirely unsmirched with greed. It is far fairer and far more above to hold up their neck breaking schedules as tremendously more dangerous and detrimental to the welfare of the general public.
 For number of years many of the people of our state have ad- vocated the reduction of the Con- necticut Co. fare to five cents. It is believed that the increase of business resulting would more than compensate the company for the re- duction. Why don't the transporta- tion companies take such progress sive steps to protect their business instead of attempting narrow and coercive campaign against innocent hitch -hikerS.
 Respectfully yours,
 SAMUEL LEVINE.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-26

The campaign of traction com panies against the hitch-hiker is attacked by Samuel Levin of A Burton street, in a communication to The Democrat. Referring to a re- cent article in this newspaper ill which traction company executives urged motorists not to pick up those thumbing rides, MT. Levine suggests that traction concerns reduce their fares instead of campaigning against hitch-hikers.
 The writer says that residents oi nearby towns employed in local fac- tories, have to resort to hitch-hik- ing to have a little spending money He hints that the companies make their plea with hands that are not entirely unsmirked with greed" and hits at their meek breaking sched- ules."
 MT. Levine's letter follows:
 Waterbury, Conn.,,
 May 18th. Dear Sir:-
 Very recently the Waterbury Dem- ocrat published an article, the pur- pose of which, evidently was to de- coy the so-called hitch-hiker and to appeal to motorists to refrain from the infamuos practice of offering their aid to this dangerous specimen of human being.
 If the purpose of this appeal was motivated by concern for the public welfare, The Democrat is to be commended for performing that function which is the privilege and duty of newspaper.
 However, as it is also the duty of a newspaper to maintain an atti- tude on public questions which are unbiased and receptive to the opin- ions of its readers, this letter is re- spectfully submitted to be published. The aforementioned article, by all appearances, is a plea of the public utilities operating our transporta- tion lines. It is an appeal for fair ness in competition. If so. let me accuse them of vicious and under hand method of procedure.
 An effort is made by them to taint with shadows of criminality hitch- hikers in general by the use of one specific case of murder of a mo- torist by certain hitch-hiker. This unfair attempt to terrprize drivers dererves the contempt of every citi- zen interested in his fellow-man.
 Tn the first place they condemn an entire group for the actions of
