new GREENBELT
HOME SEEKERS
Applicants Hope They
Are LUCKY" Choice

Q.NS). More than 5000 fam
lilies, most of them in Washington
are having the filters wondering
whether they will be among the
1913 lucky" ones to be chosen
within the next week to live in the
Governments S14,0OO,00 m d e !
town of "Greenbelt, in nearby
Maryland.
All of them can't be lucky, for
there are only 1856 residences in
the town, besides Is small farm
homes, which will be restricted to
use of practical farmers.
QUALIFICATIONS CITED
Chief qualifications have been
met by more than $500 of the
more than $4,000 original inquiries,
while some $500 more do not know
as yet whether they meet these re-
quirements.
They are, chiefly, that the
family income must be between
$1,000 and $4,000 a year, although
a few exceptions will be made. For
some single persons, or married
couples without children, whose
net incomes are lower than $1,000,
there will be a place. For a few
select families of five or six per-
sons, whose income is above
$4,000, but less than $4,000, there
will be homes.
USE SMALL FAMILIES
But for no family of more than
six will there be a place in Green
belt, because, in the opinion of the
governments experts in the Farm
Security Administration, successor
to the resettlement administration,
none of the homes-the largest
will be seven rooms-will be COM
modious enough for families of
more than six.
The question of selecting the
''lucky" families is being decided
by family visitors" and other
experts of the administration.
Scores Of women. hoping they will
be chosen, are visiting the model
town daily.
FEW OWN CARS
Questionnaires were sent out to
all inquirerS to determine what
size of houses would be most in
demand, and what facilities were
desirable. More than $4,000 of
these inquiries went out-and
formed the basis for the layout of
tie town in one to six-room homes
apartment buildings with one
room and kitchenette to. three
rooms, and row houses, with two
to six rooms. A few seven-room
houses were added later.
The missionaries revealed
that only about half of the in
quirers owned automobiles - so
halt Of the homes will have
garages. The garages are arranged
in groups, however, so that they
will be available for those who
wart them-and not in the way
of those who don't.

CHURCH MISSING

One question on the original
QUESTIONABLE was what church
if any, the family attends. There
were answers from persons in all
sects and creeds-and as a result,
no church has been built. Green
belt is a town without a church.
AS to choice of homes the first
families selected will have the
first choice-within the room 1im1-
tation applicable to their families.
Thus families with four children
will have the choice on the six
and seven room houses; with two
or three children, on the five and
four room houses; with one child
on the three-room homes or apart
mentS, or two rooms if they de-
sire. The married couples will
have choice on the one-room and
kitchenette apartments, or two
room row-house homes.

set yet. But it's promised for the
first week of October.

WHY DIPHTHERIA?

Whenever child dies of diphtheria
in the present era it is a reflection upon
the community in which such death oc-
ours. For more than ten years preventive
measures against this terrible disease have
been proved to afford practically 100 per
cent protection
A striking illustration of what may be
accomplished by the adoption of modern
scientific methods in the prevention of
diphtheria is seen in the record of Man
chester, n. H., a city of some $4,000 i'll
habltants, which has not had single case
of that dreaded disease in five years.
But that this record, admirable as it
is, should have sufficient news value to be
featured by the Associated Press is sad
commentary on the rest of the country, in
which there were approximately $4,000
cases and many thousands of deaths from
diphtheria last year.
Immunization against this disease
passed the experimental stage years ago,
and the medical profession accepts it as
almost wholly effective. The immuniza-
ton technique employed in Manchester is
also followed in most of the larger cities.
No civilized community need tolerate the
existence of the disease, which strangles
helpless children to death.
It's ravages are not so spectacular as
those of kidnap murderers, but its effects
are just as horrible, and many thousand
times more frequent.
1t requires no laws, no Omen, no
courts, to prevent this wanton destruction
sof innocents. It requires only negligible
expenditure of funds and strict vigilance
to stamp it out =

NAMING A WAR

Although it is more than II years
since Lee surrendered to Grant at Apo
mattox, no name for the war which that
historic event terminated has been pro
posed upon which all Americans can agree
The term Civil War" which is most
generally used, is not liked by certain ele
ments in the South, as is pointed out by
the Columbia State, while War of Seces-
sion" and War of the Rebellion are en-
tireiy obn9xious to the people of Dixie
For many years the United Daugh
tiers of the Confederacy have sponsored
the term War Between the States" and
have made some Roadway in securing its
adoption The. term is criticized as being
unwieldy, indescriptive and INGRAM
NAUTICAL.
Whatever objection may be made by
individuals or groups, it now seems that
the tragic struggle of the sixties will be
generally known to history as the Civil
War, a short name unmistakable in its
meaning and implying no reflection on
either North or South
Anyway, the name is not especially
important. A war by any name is just as
horrible.

ToASTING INSECTS

Among the new inventions which
promise relief to suffering humanity is the
electric light insect exterminator, said to
have been perfected by scientists of the
University of California, and which may
take its place among such well-known ap-
planes as the electric toaster, the cleo
tric iron and the electric razor
:. !; According to the United Fress, the
invention consists of bulb which may be
attached to any ordinary electric light
socket. Among the uses to which it al
ready has been put with success are:
- In front of theaters to keep insects
from annoying patrons at the box office
at fillfnglstations for the same purpose
over outdoor swimming pools and in il
Illuminated gardens; on Fairgrounds and
athletic fields, and so on
The same process is being employed
in chicken and turkey pens; the turkeys
especially showing great appreciation of
having their food electrocuted before their
eyes and then having the choice morsel
dropped right before their beaks.
The light, which was invented es-
pecially as protection against mosqui-
toes, has received so much attention that
requests have come from as far as India
and Africa for full information on its
manufacture and use.
There are a number of people in Key
West who possess these devices, of whom
the writer is one, and he finds it indis-
pensable in the only purpose he has used
it thus far, to exterminate inquisitive and
pestiferous mosquitoes.
