STOCKS CLOSE UNDER PRESSURE Republic Steel Hits Lctv Price of Years. NEW YORK. June B.—The stock market closed unsettled today. The steel issues ■were under pressure by bears in the late dealings. Republic Steel dropped to 49%, the lowest price touched in years and then rose % to 60. United States Steel, after moving up to 79%. broke to 78% and Crucible fell 2 points to 62%. Mexican Petroleum, after rallying to 147, declined to 145% and Studebaker, from Its high of 72%, dropped to 71. Continental Can rose nearly 8 points There was Tery little doing In the railroad shares, which yielded fractionally. Total sales of stocks were 581,900 chares; bonds, $14,162,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —June 8— This was a day of considerable irregularity In the trading, and in fluctuations. At the start there was a moderate demand for stocks which, however, was quickly satisfied, and professionals noting the absence of further buying orders took to the selling side again. This selling movement, however, was soon followed by a further demand, and then came another wave of selling, but this time from commission houses and was rather impressive. Some new low prices were again established. At no time of the day, however, was there a volume of business to be compared with yesterday. During afternoon the market displayed some stability. The declaration of the regular dividend by the Continental Can Company was well received. The payment of a dividend these days seems to be as surprising as th passing of a dividend was some time ago. Considering the fact of further price cutting by some of the automobile companies, the motor shares displayed reasonable stability, Studebaker standing out most prominently, and received excellent support throughout the day. The news from the steel Industry Is still very unsatisfactory, and there is nothing at the moment to justify the expectation of any Immediate improvement, and as there is a likllhood of further price cutting In this, as well, as In other lines of business, it is very doubtful whether any recovery of consequence Is likely In hte stock market. We may have a little resting period, during which time the market may act as it did today, or possibly recover some on technical grounds, but that is about the best that can be expected at this time.

WHEAT SHOWS GOOD ADVANCES Other Grains Suffer Slight Declines at Close. CHICAGO, June B.—Wheat advanced on the Chicago Board of Trade today, j while other prices dropped off slightly. The decline was not due to any news in particular, but because of general erratic condition of the wheat market during the last few weeks. July wheat opened at $1.29%, off %c, and closed up 2%c. September wheat opened off %c at $1.16% and closed up %c. July corn opened off %c at 63%c and closed off %c. September corn opened off Vic at 64%c and closed off %c. July oats opened op %c at 38%e and closed off %c. September oats opened off %e at 40%c and closed off %c. Provisions were irregular. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —June 8— Wheat —Considerable rain In the southwest has aroused some fear of wet harvest and has been the prime motive of strength In today market. The foreign demand is distinctly slow, being hampered by weakness in exchange; presumably, also, buyers are awaiting estimate of the crop to be Issued this nfterfioon. These sufficient unfilled export sales to keep the cash market ’strong. It Is reported that, as high as 173 delivered gulf, was bid for prompt shipment without any particular response from the sellers. Inasmuch as the harvest is now well advanced it may be assumed that the present and recent rains have been of more benefit that ! detriment, serving, possibly to delay j harvest to some extent. Crop news from ! the southwest, particularly Kansas, has been quite favorable. One southwest authority noting considerabla improvement recently, and estimating state at 13,000,000. It is commonly believed that the Government estimate of yitld will not corroborate the low estimates ma.de by private authorities. An element of strength derived from the extreme premiums for cash wheat and the light 1 Country offerings, also gathered rom the uncertainties of harvest, is In the market. On the other hand, the slow export demand, the excellent outlook for spring wheat, the improvement in winter wheat conditions and the financial situation do not seem to warrant expectation of any permanent strength. Corn and Oats—These markets, es;>eclally corn, show Independent weakness. Drop new* is distinctly favorable as to corn and not particularly unfavorable as to oats. The greatest weakness In the market is the slow cash demand. Elevators have been the principal buyers, which means an Increase in Chicago stocks and a weight upon tho market. Withdrawal of industries front tho cash market brought about a sev. re decline In the lowest grades. these selling around 45 cents. It will take a material improvement in the casti situation, or distinctly adverse crop news, to strengthen values. Provisions —The receipts of hogs are considerably below the usual June movement. Further than this, bids on products from abroad are relatively firmer despite the weakness In exchange. The undertone of this market is good, although general Interest has not been broadened.

HOME BUILDING ENCOURAGED BY HOUSE EXHIBITS One Fourth Nation’s Populace ■ Renters and Not Properly Housed. NEED 1,000,000 HOMES NEW YORK ClTY—Breathes there a man with a soul so dead who never to himself hath said: “Own Your Own Home!"? If so’ let him attend the Own-Your-Own-Home Exposition when It appears In his town and forthwith be converted. This exposition has already been held In Chicago and New York, where It turned thousands of settled cliff dwellers Into determined home owners, and is now on Its way to various other cities. It consists of a whole miniature suburb, reproduced in elaborate detail, including many different types of attractive homes, set off by tiny gardens and dignified by that boon of the landscape gardener—the tall and stately cedar. Nothing is lacking In the way of homely realism, from the latest thing in laundry tubs to the best type of rambler rose for the front veranda. All that goes Into the mnklng of the modern American home —as well as much that doesn't—ls there before the dazzled gaze of the home seeker, to say nothing of the homes themselves. There are severe, little stucco houses; quaint, little frame dwellings, large and pretentious brick houses—a wide selection to choose from. All are reproductions of prize winning designs from a recent national smallhouse contest, which was held under the auspices of the American Institute of Architects, and In which a thousand architects took part. A nationally known architectural jury selected twenty-nine designs in three classes (lumber, brick and stucco and back plastered- metal lath) for prizes totaling $15,000. The awards were governed principally by the economy of space shown in the floor plans, and preference was given to designs that would be reasonable In upkeep and reduce general operating expenses to a minimum. For the exposition is designed to reach the great mass of small-home builders. It strives to show the man with only a small amount of capital how he can build a comfortable, thoroughly up-to-date house at a surprisingly low cost, and thus escape exorbitant rent. Home building is not only desirable now, it Is a necessity, the organizers of the exposition point out. According to Robert H. Sexton, its managing director, the national dwelling shortage at the close of last year was placed at the appalling figure of 1,250,000. “In normal times," he says, “the United States builds between 350,000 and 400.000 family dwellings each year. In 1919 only 55.000 such dwellings were erected, and in LU2O but 05,000 were reported. One-fourth of tie population is either living in rented quarters or is improperly housed, The country is 1,000,000 homes short.” EFFECTS OF HOUSING SHORTAGE. This situation, the home-building promoters declare, Is a menace to the Nation from two important aspects. First, it has a deleterious effect upono the public health. In New Y'ork a recent oousing survey brought to light many Instances where families of twelve and fifteen members were living crowded together in one and two rooms. The public health departments of other cities report a similar state of affairs. Nor is overcrowding confined to so-called slum dislrlcts: it Is also found to prevail among Jie middle classes. The scarcity of homes likewise breeds discontent, it is pointed out. and keeps a large part of the population restless nnd roving whereas for the good of the Nation It should be quietly housed. The homeless citizen, who drifts from one community to another is seen to he a possible source of social and political disorder. ‘•The Government is beginning to realize that homeless citizens and families, rich and poor, are not usually the best American citizens,” says Mr. Sexton. "It is beginning to realize that every additional home owner makes an additional credit possibility to the Nation's wealth and an additional urge for all other forms of permanent coustruc--lon.” In other words. Mr. Sexton believes the Government is coming around to the 4'hestertonian belief that under the system of private property, every citizen should be a private property owner. Just what the Government intends to do about it, however, still remains a mystery. It is known to have acquired vast reams of Information upon the subject; to have been deep In the consideration of public health reports on housing conditions and financial reports concerning mortgages and loans, as well as reports on rent Increases in various cities; but the Nation still awaits a home run from Congress. Senators Calder, Edge and Kenyon have made their important recommendations, but as yet nothing has come of them. CITY BUILDING TROJECTS. Meanwhile various cities have attempted relief measures. A few have themselves gone into the home-building business for the benefit of the public, while others have placed restrictive measures upon profiteering landlords. New Y'ork has made things as pleasant as possible for the home-building public by exempting its property from taxes for the next five years. But, for the most part, the would-be home owner is left to solve his difficulties for himself. He can either build a house at the present high cost of building materials, knowing that eventually that price must come down; or he can pay an exorbitant rent for a house which he never will, and probably wouldn't want to, own. In one case, he buys stock that is certain to go down; in the other, he pays a large rate of Interest on stock that belongs to someone else. Os the two alternatives building seems to offer the better returns. Take, for instance, a house which costs $6,545, including the price of the land. If rented, the owner would demand 15 per cent profit on his investment, which would make the monthly rental $51.64. (In New Y'ork a house of this value would bring SIOO a month.) Now the homebuilder has only $1,260 Invested In his property. He must pay interest on the mortgage in addition to the taxes, but altogether his entire carrying charges come to just $33 a month. In building he saved nearly SSO a month, which would have gone to a landlord had the house been occupied on a rental basis. One of the greatest deterrents to homebuilding on a nation wide scale, of course, is the inability of a large number of citizens to obtain the necessary capital. They are perfectly willing to build homes, long to do so, in fact, but they cannot even begin to pay for the lumber. To these eager but thwarted "Own-Y'our-Own-Homers,” perhaps the building and loan association Is the best answer. To the person who owns the land upon which he wishes to build, or who has saved enough to pay one-fourth or onethird on a piece of property, the building and loan association lends the necessary capital, which the borrower pays off In regular monthly payments. T{ie would-be home builder who lacks even the one-fourth or one-third property Interest required, would do well to join one of these associations and begin the accumulation as a savings Investor until he can obtain a loan. A fair rate of Interest Is paid on savings accounts. There are S,OOQ of these building and loan associations In the United States,

which are doing a real service to the people as well as making a great deal J?f, money. It Is estimated that the mort- : gages held by them now aggregate la excess of $2,500,000,000; their total membership is about 5,000,000 persons, and approximately 200,000 home purchase loans, totaling $500,000,000 were made bT them last year. All of the assoclatioijjw are nnder the strict supervision of the banking departments of the States and are regularly examined the same as other savings institutions. Philadelphia probably owes Its designation as tho City of Eomes to the great multiplicltjr of Its savings and loan associations, which are looked upon as the real hope of the Own-Your-Own-Home movement. NEW CONGRESS WAITS MONTHS TO TAKE SEATS Law Changes Needed to Allow New Officers to Begin at Once. w VALUABLE TIME WASTED WASHINGTON, D. C.—The old evil of permitting defeated members of Congress to continue to sit and enact the Nation’s laws for four months after their successors have been elected is again causing a great deal of discussion la Congress. Ordinarily, this discussion is revived every two years, during the preelection campaigns. The fact that It Is now under discussion at the beginning* of anew administration, Is taken as an Indication that there Is a better chance than ever before of changing the exists Ing law, and remedying the difficulty. , Another thing which is condemned almost unanimously by public men, but which has never been changed, Is that a newly elected President does not take office until four months, sometimes to a day. from the date of his election. Bat this occurs only once in four years, and often only once in eight years. There* fore, despite the greater importance of the presidential position, the situation as it affects Congress is generally regard? ed by members of that body as in more vital need of remedy by legislation. There Is a widespread belief that feß amendment to the Constitution would be needed to change the convention date of Congress. This is not so. and is proved by the simple words of the Constitution Itself. The second paragraph of section 4, article 1. provides; si* "The Congress shall assemble at least once In every year, and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in Decern-' ber. unless they shall by law appoint a different day." j} “They" refers to the members of gross. It is generally conceded that th meeting date of Congress can, by authority of this section of the Constitu* tion. be changed to any time the majority of its members may select, if the president approves of the change. One of the greatest objections to the present system is that under ordinary conditions, a memlser of the House or Senate elected in November of one year does not take his seat in Congress uutH December of the following year. In the case of members of the House, this leaves them but eleven months before they must be up for re-election. It has worked out in hundreds of cases that newly elected Members of the House, coming to Washington for the first tlma under such conditions, have to give nearly all of their time to the business of politics in order to keep their coveted positions. Their strictly congressional duties naturally suffer from this and the whole country is the loser. DEFEATED CONGRESSMEN HOLD SEATS. Another objection often brought forward is that members of the House and Senate continue to serve for four montliS after their defeat at the polls. YVheitj this is combined with an overturn of thaJ party holding the executive power, it hai(| always resulted in the Government being! practically dead until after the Inauguration of the new President and the coni vention of the new Congress. A case id point has Just occurred. While there was, of course, a Republican majority ftf both branches of the Congress, this majority was maternally increased on botfi sides of the Capitol as a result of the elections last November. Also, the Democratic aspirant for the presidency waa overwhelmingly defeated. With this expression of the will of the American people registered, the waning Wilson administration was forced to sit and twiddle its thumbs until March 4th. Not until then could the cogs of the governmental machinery start again.A parallel situation developed whea; Woodrow YY'ilson was first elected. Th% then President, William Howard TafV feeling an obligation not to embarras* the man who would succeed him, ws forced to sit with idle hands, despite this: fact that the Mexican situation was thefl an acute matter of foreign policy. The origin of the long wait betweelt the election of a President and the tlma of his taking office dates back to th* beginning of the Nation. After tho teen original colonies freed thcmselve* from British rule and formed the United' States of America, it was found that thw territory of the new Nation was so vassJ and conditions of travel so primitive, that a considerable time was necessarfS to travel to the capital from the more, remote regions. For that reason, th* elaborate system for the election of th President and Vice President was built up. if This system, still In operation, pro-v vided that electors for President shoul# be chosen on the first Tuesday after th§ first Monday In November at lutervaljj| of four years. This is still the electlofg day. The next step Is the meeting of electors on the second Monday In January following the election. They convene l; tho various State capitals. These are thoj people who actually vote for the l’rest| dent and vice president. ELECTORAL | RED TAPE. Three reports are made of the result# of these meetings of the electors. Front each State capital, one report is sent ts£ the Congress of the United States special messenger. A second report 1#; forwarded to Congress by mall. That third report In each case 13 filed wltlfi the United States District Judge pre3 siding In the various districts in whicS the State capitals lie. The original puts* pose of this was to Insure a record oj| the action of the electors In each belnt“ preserved. If anything happened to special messenger from any State, then* would be the attested record of thc electors’ action which would reach Con-| gress by mail. Should both records bL lost, the record filed with the dlstric4| judge at the State capital would thea* be conveyed to Washington as the official* record for that State.
