Needs
Sees Shortage of
10000 Low.Cost
Homes Here.

= PEAKING to members of the De-
partment OF Government and
~ Economic Welfare of the D. c.
League Of Women Voters. John
Ihlder, administrator of the Alley
Dwelling Authority, said yesterday esti-
mates indicated the need fo7 10000
houses for low-income families Of
Washington during the next few years.
"One-third of the population means
10000 to $4,000 families" Mr.. Ihlder
explained. The real property inven-
tory showed that at least 10000 houses
would be demolished or have major
repairs. The method OF the Alley
Dwelling Authority in providing low
rent housing means an investment in
stead of mere spending, because its
rents cover amortization and city
taxes as we'll as cost of operation"
The talk was given at a tea at the
home of Mrs. David Cushman Coyle,
l7l9 H street NV. following a field
trip when about 20 members Of the
department made study of the alley
dwellings of the city. Mr.. Ihlder and
his assistant. James Ring directed the
trip for Ahich arrangements were
made by Mrs Robert Randall and Mrs
Colin Whitaker. Mrs. Jack Levin and
a committee were in charge of the ar
rangements for the tea.
Mrs. Coyle, chairman of the depart
ment, announced yesterday the skit,
In the shadow of the Capitol" writ
ten by Mrs. Dorothy Calhoun and
based on recent findings by the COM
mittee, would be given April S, at 10
pm, over Station WRC.
She also announced a luncheon
meeting Of the department on April 4,
at 1915 at the American Association
OF University Women. Mrs. A. B.
Hawes will give a report OF the sub
committee on housing at this time.

The reorganization bill. now pending
in Congress, is second in importance
only to the Supreme Court bill, ac-
cording to Miss Clara McQuown, news
commentator. who spoke yesterday at
the study group meeting held by the
League Of Republican Women at the
headquarters, 1901 Seventeenth street
NV.
Miss McQuown pointed out that the
two bills. introduced at about the
same time. complimented each other.
Summarizing the provisions OF the
reorganization measure, she spoke
brif1y OF the increased presidential
powers, which she was careful to
point out would continue under any
administration: the diminished powers
of Congress which would give one
third Of the legislators control over
the majority; the post audit system
which would replace the Controller
Generals Office and the absorption
of the bipartisan boards and COM
missions by departments under parti-
san influence. .s

Dorothy Dix Says
Here Is One of the Tragedies in
Life, in Which No One Can Helm.

and empty and loveless life. And
nobody but God can help them.
nEAR DOROTHY DIX: am a
freshman in college, II years old.
Am not wild or flighty. Am not
crazy about girls and I don't imagine
that l am in love, or think I am
old enough to marry. or any such fool
ishness. So I can't understand my
parents attitude toward me- If / 20
out at night they sit up until I come
home and then complain about losing
their sleep. And If I go out with
girl they begin TO pick her to pieces.
They find fault with everything she
does and wears and says. They do
the same way about my boy friends.
haven't friend that they have not
discussed, weighed and found wanting.
Worst Of all, they force me to break
dates with every girl I 60 with, so
that 1t makes the girl mad and she
drops me. What's the reason of this
and what can I do about it?
HENRY.
Answer-Your parents attitude is
really inspired by nothing but jeal-
ousy. They are possessive and they
can't bear to share you with anybody
else, or for you to be interested in any
one but themselves.
Also. they still regard you as
mere infant in arms and feel that
they must hold you by the hand and
that If they let loose you will get lost
on the streets and not know enough
to ask policeman to guide you home
Many fathers and mothers go through
this phase of not being able to recon-
cile themselves to their children grow
Ing up, and it is mighty unpleasant
for them and mighty unpleasant for
the children.
All girls have time of it when they
have their first dates. Their fathers
IN particular simply throw fits and
are ready to murder the harmless little
boy who has come to take Janey to q
party. And they feel the same way
about the boys when they begin to step
out. But they get over it after q time,
so you will just have to be patient with
them. But don't let them separate you
from all your young friends. You
need them.
nEAR MISS DIX-Do you think 1t
would be advisable for a boy and
girl to get married If the boy is max
ing only $12 q week; that is, if they
are very. very much in love and both
perfectly willing to work hard and
make the necessary sacrifices?
ANXIOUS.
Answer-It is not only inadvisable
for young couple to try to live on $12
week; it is virtually impossible. So
don't attempt it. Not only for your
own sake, but for that of your parents.
There is nothing more unfair than for
boy and girl to marry when they we'll
know that their poor old father and
mother will have to support them.
OF course, now you think you can
live on bread and cheese and kisses,
but you will find that after marriage
you are just as hungry as you were
before. Wait until you get into bet
ter financial condition before yeu
marry. DOROTHY DIX.

EAR MISS DIX: Very often
we read in your column Of
the gold-digger women who

- the gold-digger women who
use their arts and wiles to
pry middle -aged husbands away from
their wives and their pockethooks.
Also we read about the weak, selfish
women who fall in love with married
men and, because they feel they have
q right to give in to their emotions,
cause another divorce and the break
ing UP of another home and misery
for all concerned. But what about
the woman who refuses to take her
happiness at the price Of q sister
woman's and who keeps the husband
faithful to the wife he no longer loves?
What about the woman who, fright
fully unhappy in her own married life
through no cause Of her own, still
thinks of his wife and her rights and
shuts the door on love and happiness
for herself? What about the woman
who stiles the love-hunger that is
in every woman's heart, who fills her
days with work and through sheer
will power silently tries to bear her
burden? I am one OF these women
and there are so many Of us.
so UNHAPPY.
Answer-I think there are no nobler,
finer women in the world than those
who. starving for affection, refuse to
reach out their hands and take it be-
cause they cannot do it without hurt
ing others. They deserve to have
hero's medals pinned upon their
breasts far more than any soldier for
their deeds of valor are not committed
in the heat and turmoil of battle with
flags flying and bands playing and a
world looking on to applaud. It is the
cold courage that keeps them faithful
to their ideals with none to see and
none to cheer them on and only the
knowledge that they have kept the
faith for their reward.
There are no tragedies more hope
less or more bitter than those that
occur when q married man falls in
love with q woman and she with him.
We make q mock or scandal Of them.
We have . contempt for the husband
and father who turns philanderer.
And we shed gobs Of tears over the
poor wife who is forsaken.
But not every married man who
falls in love with woman other
than his wife is villain. Often and
often he Is . fine and noble man who
Is unhappily married to wife who
is shrew and nagger who has never
done single thing to try to make
him happy or even comfortable. He
is heart-hungry. starved for sympathy
and understanding, and he meets up
with some woman great Of heart and
mind and soul who gives him the
love and appreciation and tenderness
Of which he has dreamed, but never
had. They love each other. They
need each other. They know that they
could make life paradise for each
other. But there is the mans wife.
And there are the children standing
before the door that leads to happiness
for them. And often and often It Is
