Tough On Veterans

THE VETERANS of the late
war have, we believe, ample
ground for discomfort. While a
few have been fortunate, there are
hundreds of thousands who have
been unable to secure homes or
automobiles and find themselves
unable to renew normal living.
Consider the position of the vet
eran who needs home: The mar
ket prices are high, the cost of
construction almost prohibitive
and many necessary products
scarce. While these service men
wait, they see civilians, who did
not smell powder, building homes
without regard to conditions and
largely exploiting the profits they
acquired while other men fought
for them and their country.
Take veteran, home from the
wars, who wants an automobile:
He stands little chance of nosing
out a priority holding civilian.
Many heroes of bitter battles,
when life hung in the balance, are
now in position where they need
IN automobile. Do they get any
worthwhile priority or do civili-
ans get the bulk of the automo-
biles? The only priority that bat
tle-tested veterans recall is the
primacy of risking life and limb
while millions were at home with
ample opportunities for war prof
it's.
We have heard complaints from
veterans who have attempted to
buy surplus war materials. De-
spite official intentions, the stuff
seems to get into the hands of
spectators who, unfortunately,
upon occasions are veterans them
selves.

I Mystery

THE ARREST OF. a $4,000 : a :
year cashier of large indus
trial company on a charge of en-
bezzling "close to million dol
lars" of company funds is enough
to make one wonder how an en-
ploye could get that much money
out of company without being
caught.
Newspaper articles relate that
the accused cashier maintained
two cabin cruisers, two new auto.
mobiles and had extensive real es-
tate holdings. How responsible Of
ficials of the company could be-
lieve that the outfit was being
financed on a $5,OOO-a-year salary
is a mystery.
The only thought in connection
with the matter is the pleasure
which must be experienced by those
in charge of a corporation large
enough to spare nearly a million
dollars without noticing an alb
sence of cash.

1900 Cookies
Will Be Baked
BY HOmemakers

If the families and friends of
the members of the Council of the
Homemakers Club of Montgomery
County fail to receive fruit cakes
and Christmas candy this year,
there is a reason. The council,
which includes II clubs all over
the county, are using all the sugar
they can find in their members
kitchens to make 1900 cookies
600 dozen-for the patients who
must remain in Naval Medical
Center on Christmas.
1t was back in September that
the representatives of Homemakers
Council at a meeting of the
Potomac Council of the Camp and
Hospital Community Service of the
American Red Cross volunteered to
furnish the cookies as their part
Of the Red Cross effort to make
Christmas a brighter day for the
boys still in the service hospitals.
At that time, the Homemakers
Council thought the sugar short
age might abate, but when it only
grew tighter the members still de-
clared they would not back down
on their pledge; that if necessary
somehow they would find sugar in
their own homes even if it meant
doing without sugar in their fami-
lies coffee and cereal.
The II clubs which make up the
Homemakers Council plan to de-
liver the cookies a few days before
Christmas through the machinery
set up by the American Red Cross.
Mrs. C. M. Upton, of Poolesville,
President of the Homemakers
Council, said the cookies will be
baked in the shape of Christmas
trees, Santas and Wreaths, and all
will contain "plenty of butter"
The cookie gifts are just one
example of the cooperation which
organizations and individuals
throughout Montgomery County
are giving in behalf of a happier
Christmas for the boys in the
hospitals.

"Pre-Fab" Houses
Move SLOWLY

WILSON WYATT, Housing Ex-
pediter, seeks to prime the pre-
fabrication industry with 1884,
600, 900 in Federal loans, but, for
some reason, there is reluctance
on the part of house-builders to
accept the prefabricated struc-
lures.
The original housing goal fo-
1916 set 100000 prefabricated
homes as its objective but reports
indicate that the total output will
be around 10000.
Meanwhile, the National Hous-
ing Agency says that five air.
craft factories are preparing to
start assembly-line output of ad-
ditional dwellings. This probably
means faster output because the
production of wood and plywood
prefabricated homes has not YET
passed the 1,00O-a-week mark
partly because of lumber and 9th.
er material shortages.
The cost of building a home in
the United States is entirely toe
high and there has been, so far
no successful method of produc
ing them by mass production
methods. The suggestion has beer
made, however, that, despite thu
tendency of builders to cling t.
conservative materials, there is &
possibility of reducing costs b!
the mass production of homes il
a given area.
We have no idea how long i
will take, but one of the grea
events of the new age will be thu
development of a satisfactor!
method of producing reasonably
priced homes. These homes will
be far different from the conven
tional house of the present day
They will take advantage of new
methods of lighting, heating ant
air-conditioning. There will be /;
tendency to save money on tn
size of the structure in order t;
provide the conveniences tina
modern industry affords.
