Wartime Capital
damned With Girls
Housing Of Fair Sex Serious
Problem.

Observation-Disclosures are people,
all right, but landlords in congested
Washington prefer men.
lnasmuch as 10000 government
girls are already employed in the
wartime capital, outnumbering the
eligible men by maybe two to
one. the situation would be serious
enough even if the total were not
constantly growing.
The civil service commission, the
defense housing registry and the
Travellers Aid society, after devot-
ing a lot of thought to the question.
have concluded that landlords do not
Ike girl tenants because.
|. They are generally more trou-
bic than men, require more looking
after.
2 They do their laundry in the
bathgoom, clogging drains, and caus-
ing queues to form at the bathroom
door. They also swipe the land
lords current for their electric
irons.
3. They often bicker with each
other and the landlord over use of
the living room for entertaining
their boy friends.
Girls IN boomtown present other
difficulties. They tend, for one thing,
to gang up and stick together in
the strange city," thus creating con-
gestion, and producing "a grave
problem to the organizations at
tempting to meet their housing
needs according to the civil serv-
ice commission.
As for stories of girls sleeping on
benches in railroad and bus termi.
mails and of girls riding streetcars al
night because they were unable te
find a place to Sleep" the com.
mission said, IF such incidents have
occurred, they may be attributed te
the failure Of these girls to go tt
the proper agency for advice ane
assistance

Australia Wheat Surplus
Eyed as Fuel for Autos

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. = A
representative of the Melbourne
Herald, after making a test run in
an automobile with a gas producer
powered by wheat instead of char
coal, thinks economic use is pos
sible Of Australia's wheat surplus of
100000 bushels, equivalent to
100000 gallons of gasoline.
The inventor, M. J. Martin, a
chemical engineer, has driven car
several months on grain mixed with
charcoal gas in a gas producer. A
bushel of wheat is equal to three
gallons of gasoline in mileage and
costs five shillings.

the rate was 98.6 per cent, and a

CLEVELAND, June l (P.-April's S
orders of 327 ,420 net tons for fabri-
Gated structuraleteel were the larg-
est for any month since 1929, the
magazine Steel said today, adding:
Total orders booked in four
months exceeded the similar period
last year by 124 per cent. AS use
of steel in other than war con-
struction has been stopped, the April
figure is an indication of the extent
of essential use of structural shapes. F"
Continuing its weekly summary Of
the war-vital industry, the trade
publication noted mills which have
been accepting nothing below top
rating now in some cases have so
much tonnage on directives that
they are unable to promise delivery
on any rating"
Better distribution for essential
purposes, however, is shown by i'm
provement in inventory control by
the War Production Board being
reflected by closer balance between
requests for steel plates and ton
nages allocated. June allocations
show the best relationship yet at
tanned and it is believed that by
mid-autumn plate production will
meet all rated requirements, al
though not much capacity expan-
sion is expected by that time"
