puted, clinch the argument. The
first is that an average of twenty
pounds of fats and oils per person
per year is the minimum necessary
for good health. Our consumption
of edible fats and oils is in this
year 1916 an average of f%orty-one
pounds per person. This is double
the necessary minimum. In Europe
it is estimated at 9.3 pounds. This
is half the necessary minimum.
European statistics are, I have no
doubt, rather primitive in view of
the general disorganization of gov
eminent, and also there is some
political doctoring and a lot of
black market. But when all dis
counts have been made, there is
no doubt whatsoever that in the
cities the people Of modest income
and the poor r badly under
nourished. The increase Of tuber-
culosis and of diseases OF deficiency
prove that.
Now our own average of forty
one pounds per person per year is
only-only-let us aot-an average.
only-let us note-an average. And
averages have to be handled with
care: the average weight of an
elephant and a mouse would not

New Chicago
Project viii House
Mostly Negroes

Chicago - Not primarily de-
signed for Negroes, the newly
opened 100000 Wentworth
Gardens public housing projects
on Chicago Southside will house
mostly Negro families, according
to the Chicago Housing authority.
The authority explains that the
project is located in an almost en-
tirely Negro area and Negroes
are the ones who most desperate
ly need more decent housing.
The first II families out of an
eventual 422 have already moved
into what is the first large scale
housing development here since
the wars end. 1t is hoped to COM
plete the project by late fall.
The new homes are two story
AMI three story brick, built long
and shallow for sunshine and air
and with big backwards. Back
porches and balconies on the
houses are an innovation on this
type of public housing here. Apart
ments range from to 6 - rooms
and will rent from $15-$33 a
according to the tenants
ability to pay.
Funds are now available for
another Southside project, with
plans calling for six to ten story
apartments, in the vicinity of 9th
and State Streets. Condemnation
proceedings are underway but the
project is not expected to be COM
pleted until 1913.
