 necessary for these organizations to store belongings of poor families, evicted from their homes and to maintain these families, including children in furnished rooms in so- called hotels or rooming houses,
 Disgraceful!
 This situation is diSgraceful and should bring bluesh of shame to every citizen who claims to have one | iota of interest in this community. l maintain that the working people of this city, the people who make the wheels go round In these great in- | dustries of ours are entitled to de- cent, adequate housing at price that they can afford, Even the most hide-bound reactionary, If he has any capacity whatsoever for think ing must admit that slum housing such as we have on Canal street. Chatfield avenue, Railroad Hill street, Lafayette street and many other sections of the city has proven an economic loss, It is a poor invest ment from bothI the business and so- scial viewpoint. It Is wasteful of values, both economic and human,
 And Churches
 lind myself out of patience with those people who build beautiful churches and city halls and schools for the children of their city and shut their eyes to the devastating toll of child destruction that Is talk ing place in those Slum novels that are unfit for decent habitation. What do you think the slum children think when they sing that beauti- full song of Katherine Lee Bates Thine alabaster cities shine, un- dimmed by human tears" That was Miss Bates dream and hope for American cities. And what do these children think when they sing Land of the free" What kind of land and what poor excuse for freedom are we offering the slum child, And don't think for minute that the children who occupy the beautiful mansions on the hill are safeguard ed from the disease and crime that fiourishes in those areas in which we permit thousands of our fellow. citizens to be born and reared. No one Is safe from tho disease and squalor that prevails among the oc- cupants of these novels that make up our slum areas,
 Housing Problem
 This brings me to the subject of my address, What are we going to do about our housing conditions?"
 In his inaugural message, Presi- dent Roosevelt said, T see one- third of the nation ill-housed, ill., clad, and ill-nourished." In answer to part of that indictment, both houses of congress, just before they ' adjourned, passed the Wagner Steagall housing bill. The bill is in- tended as Q loW-rent measure for families with incomes under Si,000 per year and 1t is hoped 1t will re- lieve the congested situations that exist in our large cities, where living conditions are unsafe, unsanitary and unSa satisfactory. Just as the Home owners Corporation has saved over 2000, 900 homes from foreclosure, so this bill hopes to provide homes for millions Of OUT citizens whose earn ing power will not enable them to pay the cost of building and operat' ing decent living quarters.
 The bill recognizes the fact that there can be no slum clearance un- less the occupants of these blighted areas can secure rents low enough to come within the reach Of their

MayOr
 question is at stake. l am sure the Rotary through its vast membership will be found in the front ranks of those who march forward in this great crusade for better housing for the low income tenant.
 Tn my estimation, this is the most important question facing the peo- pie of the municipality. We cannot look to private enterprise for an answer as they cannot afford to build low-cost housing projects at 8 price that these people can af- ford to pay. The government alone can solve the problem of housing the under-privileged. Sums will continue to exist so long as they continue to be occupied. To elimi- nate slum conditions, one must tear them down and remove them alto gether. hope you will agree with me that this form of federal aid Is necessary and important.
 Sanitary Homes
 I was never more serious about any social question than l am about the need of taking the people from our slum areas out into Gods blessed fresh air where each family will have a safe and sanitary home healthful surroundings, ample and pure running water inside the house modern and sanitary toilet conven- fences, for Its exclusive use, located inside the building, reasonable fire protection, privacy, rooms of suffic- lent size and number to decently house the members of the family freedom from dampness, prompt and adequate collection of waste material.
 In conclusion, let me point out that If we take advantage of the Wagner -Steagall act, 1t |, will be Q local project and will be managed solely by e local housingn authority. It should not be confused with other efforts of the federal government to produce low cost housing. We know through the best local advice that comfortable homes can be produced at $4000 per house. have enough faith in the type of men know that the mayor would appoints as well as their ability and integrity to believe that we can reconstruct the housing facilities of this city eliminating our slum areas and pro- ducing e city of homes in which the poorest of our citizenry will be ade- quately housed.

BuIging hips and a rowing
waistline were never designed for
the 1887 spring styles, however.
and it takes emergency measures
to perform miracles within 80
days. OF all exercises the most
effective are the rolling type
which massage hips, incorporated,
while twisting and stretching the
waist, such as the following:
Exercise
POSitiOn-Sittirg on floor, knees
bent outward. soles of feet to-
gether, hands braced at sides.
MOvement-Rock from right to
left. resting first the right thigh,
then buttocks, then the left thigh
flat on the floor. Continue for
Is counts, rocking vigorously and
holding the feet in the same po-
sitlon. This exercise gets all the
bulges along the thigh and across
the buttockS.
Exercise II
Position: Sitting on floor, knees
bent, legs together and feet drawn
up close to body.
Movement: Keeping the legs to-
gether, roll over on the side Of one
thigh, then roll back SO that the
other thigh is resting on floor.
Roll 10 times, later 20. This roll
gets the pincushions of fat at the
sides of the thighs.
Exercise III
Here is a pippin for Slimming the
Waistline:
