HOME PURCHASES
ARE LARGE ITEM
1870 of All InstaIIment
Buying Last Year Was
for Residences.

About 4S per cent of all the INSTALL
fnent buying which American families
did last year was for their homes
the house, the yard and the furnish
ines, and they obligated themselves
about sl00,000000 more for these
things than they did for their auto
mobiles the same year. This esti-
mate is given by the Home Building
and Home Owning Committee of the
United States Building and Loan
League, whose findings are based on
the Dun &, Bradstreet business trend
survey of installment selling and on
monthly repayment mortgage loans
by savings, building and loan asso-
Citations and by other lenders.
A total of some $2,327, 100000 of
monthly repayment credit was grant,

ing homes was distributed among
various types of banks. life insurance
companies and miscellaneous lenders
eligible to insure mortgages under
the National Housing Act.
The committee points out that
about fourth of all the retail sales
on the installment plan were for
things which became a part of the
home. More than so per cent of the
volume of such goods sold last year
was charged up to the customer on
installment contracts calling for pay

families still take their greatest pride
in the place they live rather than
in any other channel of material
possessions. Since installment sales

with the s2,327, 100000 debt of this
type incurred for houses and what

ready to live on wheels, committee
members point out.
Counting the furnishings and ap-
pliances which were paid for in cash,
as well as those on the installment
basis, the sum spent in 1887 was
equivalent to approximately $50 for
every family in the United States"

about sl00.000000 more than in 1896
and s40000o,00o more than in 1895.
The installment debt created by home

half billion dollars more this year

SCHOOL-CLIN|C SOUGHT HERE
TO HELP CRIPPLED CHILDREN

BY JAMES J. CULLINANE

BY JAMES j. COAAACNaENN
District and Federal officials
moved swiftly today to coordinate
plans for the establishment Of q
combination school and clinic at
Gallinger Hospital where crippled
children could obtain an education
now denied them.
Deputy WPA Administrator Ross
Haworth set aside other engage
ments to make q personal inSpec-
tion of the Gallinger clinic to de
termine how it could be expanded
TO provide educational facilities.
WPA TEACHERS
Later this afternoon Haworth
will confer with Health Depart
ment officials in charge Of the
crippled children'S service at Gal
linger to determine what use thy
can make of teachers and funds
which might be supplied by the
WPA.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle,
president Of the Board of Educa-
ton, will be asked to aid in formu-
lating tentative plans for the
school clinic, Haworth said.
Establishment of class rooms In
connection with the Gallinger Hos
pital clinic was first suggested last
week by the Patterson Newspapers
and met an enthusiastic reception
ct headquarters Of the local WPA.

administrator and former District
Commissioner, made it known ne

Federal funds in establishment OF

Need for additional education
facilities for crippled children was
emphasized in recent survey
made by the Crippled ChildrenS
Society which revealed that OF
the 800 crippled children Of school
age in washington not more tnan
400 are attending classes in the
Langdon and Anthony Bowen
Hayworth pointed out that
there are many technical details
which must be solved before the
facilities at Gallinger could De
made available for classroom pur'
poses, but he added:
"The obstacles facing us are
not insurmountable. I am con-
vinced there is a vital need here
for providing additional educa-
tional facilities for children so
crippled they are not able to at
tend public schools. We are
anxious to do everything we can
TO aid those youngsters who be
cause of their affliction are IN
greater need of an education
than their more fortunate tel'
lows"
NO VISITING TEACHERS
At present, the public schools
here do not provide visiting
teachers for children too crippled
or without means to attend Lang
don or Anthony Bowen schools,
and in the opinion OF Haworth,
"home instruction recommended
becomes an empty phrase.
"If we do not provide ade-
uuate education for hand1-
capped children" Haworth
pointed out, I'VE can be al
most certain that in latter life
these children will be a care
upon the community. When
their parents can no longer
care for them, they will be
forced to depend ON institu-
tions."
Some 35 children are treated
twice weekly at the Gallinger
clinic for rheumatic heart, bone
inflammation, the after effects Of
tuberculosis Of the bone and in

Residents Of the Broadmoor

line thrown around the premises.
At $50 a. M, 80 building serv-

Building Service Employees Union,
affiliated with the AFIs walked
out on strike against wage and

that they had been working IL to

Engineer on job
The walkout included most Ser7-
ice help, including janitorS. ele-
vator operators, charwomen, maids
and bellbovs.
In the boiler room of the apart
ment hotel only the chief engineer
was at his post attending the fires.
While the strikers said they
'had the place tied up tight" the
several hundred tenants were said
not to have been seriously incon-
venienced.
Both main elevators were in
operation by breakfast time when
Harry Bralove, owner Of the
Broadmoor, planned to confer
with the strikers. Telephone serv-

The strikers demand a six-day
week with an eight-hour working
day. They are also asking for
pay increases averaging $40 per
month.

Another demand of the strikers,
it is understood, is the discharge

u. S. TO EMPLOY
10000 WORKERS
ON 1910 CENSUS
Roper Hunts Building
For 5000 in Capital

The magnitude Of the 1910 CEN
sus was foreshadowed today in the
announcement Of a search by the
Department of Commerce for an
adequate building in Washington
for 5000 persons to be employed
in tabulating returns.
The department seeks to rent q
building containing not less than
100000 square feet Of usable floor
space, to be ready for occupancy
not later than July /, 1899, for q
period not to extend beyond De-
cember 81, 1912.
HARD TO FIND
Forms for q proposal for the
rental were completed today and
are available to interested persons
on inquiry at the office Of the ad,
ministrative assistant.
Malcolm Kerlin, administrative
assistant to the Secretary Of Com.
merce, said today that a prelimi.
nary survey of available office
space in Washington had failed
to discover a building whoh con-
tanned the amount Of floor space
and other facilities required for
efficient tabulation Of the census
returns.
He declared the apparent un.
availability Of desirable office
space may require that the sue
cessful bidder construct a building
to comply with the terms Of the
proposal.
"GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING"
approximately 100000 persons
will be employed in 1910 in taking
the inventory of human and
economic resources Of the
country" which Secretary Roper
has described as gigantic under.
taking" About 5000 Of that
number will be detailed to work
in Washington during the census
period to tabulate the information
collected by the $4,000 enumer.
ators in the field.
The census will cover popula4
ton. occupations, unemployment,
agriculture, irrigation, drainage,
manufactures, mines and quarries
and business. Certain additional
activities which are dependent for
their value upon enumerated vital
statistics are planned to present
new and more comprehensive data
for use in improving national
health, it was stated.
