LOS ANGELES. Aug. 5.-Jackie
Coogan quoted the words of his dead

that Arthur l. Bernstein, manager Of

new Low INCOME
HOUSING NEEDED
National Health Survey in SO
Cities Reveals Insahitary
Conditions.

The prevalence Of congested and
insanitary living. conditions in the 80
cities covered by the National Health
Survey Of 1856 Is conclusive proof
of the vast need for new housing ac-
commodations, particularly for FAM
lilies OF medium and low income. Fed
eral Housing Administrator Stewart
Mcdonald said today.
Findings of the survey. published
recently by the United States Public
Health Service, show. Mr.. Mcdonald
said, that overcrowding is prevalent
in cities Of every size and in every
section of the country. While wide
variations were noted in the per-
centage of families living in over
crowded quarters, the survey demon
strates that the problem is common
to small cities as well as large metro
politan centers.
A similar conclusion can be drawn
from figures on the adequacy Of sani-
tary facilities, although large-city
families are in 4 somewhat more
favorable position than those living
in communities Of $4,000 or less.
Fewer Rooms Than Persons.
ut is estimated by the Public Health
Service that 100000 families in the
United States have fewer rooms in
their homes than there are persons;
100000 live in dwellings with more
than one and one-half times as many
persons as there are rooms; 100000
live in dwellings with at least twice as
many persons as there are rooms" the
administrator said.
80 far as the building industry H
concerned the most valuable informa-
ton to be derived from the survey is
that on the relative desirabiiity Of
living conditions Of families falling
in various income groups.
As was to be expected, crowded
Evening star., 1938-05-28

and insanitary conditions are most
prevalent in the large group Of fam
lilies receiving incomes of $1,000 or
less per annum, but even among the
more favorably situated families hv-
ing conditions often leave much to be
desired.
In many Of the smaller cities, for
example, large proportion Of the FAM
lilies receiving annual incomes Of 81, 900
to $4,000 live in quarters served by
inadequate sanitary installations. In
. number OF these smaller centers,

fact that the industry has neglected,
in large part. the group Of families
which form one Of the most fertile
markets for Its products. Unless the
condition is rectifed, We will continue
to have over building in some brackets
and unsatisfactory conditions in other
brackets"

TWO DRAWER CURES

Sticking drawers in dressers, ia
bles and other pieces of furniture
are due to swelling Of the sides and
bottoms. With the increased damp
ness Of the air, the wood Of the bot
toms and sides will expand and result
in too tight a fit.
Slight sticking of drawers can be
corrected by rubbing the edges Of
the drawers with parafnn. II the
defect is bad, they may be shaved
down with plane, filed or sand
papered. Rubbing both the edges
and the parts against which they
slide with parafdn should follow.
Evening star., 1938-05-28

even substantial number Of the fam
lilies in the $4,000 to $1,000 group live
IN houses which are inadequately pro-
vided with sanitary facilities.
1T must be remembered that the
group Of families In the fairly high
economic levels which the survey
finds to be housed adequately, in most
instances compose the market for
which the building industry has con-
sistently produced a supply Of rental
and for sale accommodations.

The argument over whether men or

The club reported that although IA
men drivers figure in accidents to one
