af1iliated body, the Home Builders
Institute. The agency will have Of
fees in Washington.
A fear Is apparent among builders
here that the Government may re-
strict them In supplying housing for
defense as well as for the civilian
population not engaged in emer-
gency work. One prominent build
er said he expected the Government
to take over most defense building
and to provide it by direct subsidy.
He said that unless this situation is
cleared up Immediately by the Gov
ernment 1t will have the effect of
restricting greatly efforts of private
industry in supplying badly needed
housing.
A dark picture of the future, both
as to increasing living costs and
taxation, was painted by Harold G.
Moulton of Washington. president
of the Brookings Institution. He
said 1t appears certain that rates
will again be increased in the next
tax bill. with perhaps lower levels
of exemption. The purchasing pow
er of some 10000 900 people having
incomes Of from 5000 to $4,000 a
year will be reduced by Is per cent
in the coming year. he predicted.
Sees Spiraling Costs.
With regard to increased cost Of
living, DR.. Moulton said: I'VE are
now definitely on the spiral Of rising
prices, rising costs, and again rising
prices. 1t should be noted in this
connection that next spring the
farmer will have to pay substan-
TALLY higher prices for everything
that he buys. thereby making it
necessary-in the interest of par
ity-to raise agricultural prices still
more In the ensuing year. Since
price parity involves a relationship
between the prices of the things
which farmers buy and the prices
of the crops which they sell, we
shall be in the process Of chasing
ourselves round and round-on an
escalator, as it were. That is to
say. this will be the case unless the
present farm policy is modified"
The Home Builders Institute Is
asking that increased building costs
be reflected more equitably than is
at present the case in F. H. A. valua-
tions. Curt c. Mack, Washington
F. H. A. director of underwriting,
indicated that the primary issue
with his agency is how long present
increased costs may be expected to
hold. The consistent policy OF
F. H. A., he said, has been and is
that it's valuations for mortage loan
insurance will not reflect increased
construction costs unless such costs
are clearly stabilized. F. H. A. has a
long term position, he said, and must
consider probable future cost and
value trends. Temporary increases
in costs. therefore. cannot be carried
over into valuations. he added.
Hugh Potter OF Houston, former
national association head. urged that
the entire housing effort of the
Nation in the emergency period be
put in charge of one man with au-
thority to act. He pointed out that
divided authority Of Government
housing agencies in Washington is
causing the defense housing program
to move too slowly.

Army Typhoid Vaccine
Given 10 All Americas

Output of typhoid vaccine for the
armed forces has increased eight
fold over last year. the War De-
partment announced yesterday. with
the result that other nations in the
Western Hemisphere are being sup
piled, in furtherance of the good
neighbor policy.
A total of $500 gallons of the
vaccine was made at the Army Med =
ical School in Washington for the
incubation of soldiers. Vaccine
also was supplied to the Navy, Pub
lie Health Service. the Civilian Con-
servation Corps. the Puerto Rican
government and many other
agencies.
1t Is estimated that by making
itS own vaccine the Government
has saved sl,540000 over the cost
OF purchase. Thousands of gallons
are being made from a typhoid cul-
ture obtained from the Panama
Canal Zone. The cultures are pre-
served in glass tubes by a special
process of freezing at 108 degrees
below zero.
Two years ago. 1000 900 courses
OF three injections each were made
for the Federal Government. The
output has greatly increased since.

he travelled.

state.
The parents. and Marcia's
grandmother who lives with them.
are naturally saddened at having
the child leave home. although
realizing the advantages outlined.
One thing worries them. however
the childs' eating habits. As
grandmother puts It. Marcia has
to be coaxed ut meals and we 60
to a lot Of trouble to see that she
eats" The school. Of course, won't
do that. And children must eat to
live!
The adults OF this family need
to be assured that every active.
healthy child gets hungry. and
then his natural desire Is for food.
II he Is accustomed to being
coaxed at mealtimes. he accepts
that as the rule and will not take
food unless he Is urged to. Many
serious feeding problems arise
from forcing children to eat at
some time when their appetites le-
ultimately are of. At school Mar
cha will learn to feed herself and
In general conduct herself like the
other children because 1t will be
the thing to do.
There Is still a further advan-
tage in Marcia's going away that
deserves consideration. The other
children will be able to enjoy a
normal family life at last. No
longer will they be neglected for
handicapped Marcia. who needed
so much special care and received
so much extra attention that the
parents. In spite Of the best Of In
