Have You a Home? HOME-BUILDERS are gaining on the housing shortage now at a rate that promises plenty of places to live within a comparatively short time. - Residential buildings are going up $500,000,000 worth per month, according to figures just completed by the Government. This figure indicates the value of contracts let per month. Putting it in another way, residential floor space is being constructed about 128.000,000 square feet per month. That means space for about 125,000 families. The housing shortage has been estimated at more than 1,000,000 homes. Following the war the boom in building which set in did not help the home-seeker. Most of the construction was on factories, office buildings, theaters and other non-residential structures. Now the home-builder is getting his. In point of floor space and in dollars the contracts for residences let during the first summer months more than double that of any other class of buildings. Through the housing (Jwision of the Department of Commerce the Government is keeping close tab on construction. Costs, available supplies, simplified building 'codes and schemes to aid home-builders in financing building have been surveyed in a comprehensive way by the Government, which is working in close conjunction with State and city orgarUations to encourage building. Results are coming, according to the figures. Save Republicanism. GLTZON BORGLUM, sculptor of Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial at Washington, has invaded the political field with a circular asking for help in the task of freeing the Republican party from its domination by special privilege, Big Business and professional machine organization. “We want no futile third party movements,” says Borglum. “The success in Pennsylvania, Indiana and lowa has demonstrated that we do not need them. Now the entire country is squaring itself for the coming congressional election. Our message should be printed and carried to millions of voters.” Borglum is right. The third party effort has been difficult. The Progressive party-proved to be only a balance of power between the other two parties. But the Progressive party had a message and if its leaders had. not betrayed it our political story today would be a different one. We wish our idealist and artistic friend all success, hut we would add a word of encouragement also for any opposing third party, fourth party, fifth party, or even a Democratic party out of office. Ach, Du Lieber Augustine! TVT OT that it makes our sun shine any brighter, but just to show 1 how well we are-’off'cbtoparatively, consider the lot of the poor German house fritu,'.;;when she goes to market, her basket stuffed with bales of marks. In Germany, according to consular figures, the mark, which used to be mighty good money before the war, is now batting about .0009. Over there the cost of living is busting Babe Ruth’s record daily—it is batting about 90,000 per cent. It may be small consolation to reflect upon another’s misfortune, but it is good cause for thanks that in America the cost of living has doubled only, instead of increasing by ninety fold, as is the case today in unfortunate Germany.

A.—A genus of fungi growing underground. The common truffle is of a fleshy fungous structure and roundish figure, ■jvithout any visible root; of a dark color, approaching to black, and studded over with tubercles, and varies in size from that of a laj*ge plum to that of a large potato. It is much sought after as an ingredient in certain high-seasoned dishes. There being no appearance above ground to indicate the existence of the truffle, dogs are trained to find this fungus by the scent and scratch it up. Q. —Why arc novels called romances? A.—The Latin (Roman) language ceased to be spoken in France.about the ninth century, and was succeeded by a mixture of the language of the Franks and bad Latin, which was called the Romance language or- dia* lect. Most of the* early tales of chivalry being written in that language were called ‘Romances”—hence the -name given to marvelous and halffabulous stories or poems. Q. —How did the term ‘‘Quack D6O- - originate? - - * “ A.—lt is thought this is a corruption of “quake doctor,” or ague doctor. The ague being known as the quake, and in fenny countries being generally treated by ignorant persons, who professed to charm away the disease, the term “quake doctor” arose, which has been corrupted to quack doctor. Q.—Why are English soldiers called “Tommy Atkins?” A. —The term arose from a little j pocket-book or ledger, at one time ; given to British soldiers, in which | were to be entered the name, age, date j of enlistment, length of service, t wounds, medals, etc., of each individual. The War Office sent with | each little ledger a form for filling it I in, and the name selected for an il- j was "Tommy Atkins.” The * booim werq, Instantly, sq named and it

A The United States Bureau |of Standards tests eye protective j Senses as to their fulfilment of the [ C T® protective code. The charge is SlO per sample. It also measures the 1 spectral transmission of colored glass in sample of proper form (charge variable. approximately $3), but. it draws no conclusions as to their pathological value. Q.—How did the negroes become black? A.—The negro, having originated in the tropics, hah been provided by nature with such color pigments as will ; protect him from the rays of the sun. I The sunlight is made up of many I kinds of rays, some of which are very I harmful to man, the violet rays for example. The color pigments in the : black man’s skin counteract the In- ; fluence of these rays. The develop- | ment of this protective color pigmen- | tation results undoubtedly from the ! evolutionary process, in which dark I type tended to survive. HOBOES WBu BERTO\ BRALET.

ITION Will P!¥ ALMOST BILLION EXTBBFOR COAL Present Shortage, Due Mainly to Strikes, Creates Acute Demand. HIGH PRICES GENERAL Railroads Escape Middleman Profit —Own and Operate Fuel Sources. By C. C. LYON Times Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4—Tho Nation’s coal bill during the next eight months will be, some $750,000,000 more than for the corresponding period last year. That will represent the country’s direct cash contribution to the greatest coal strike in history. With practically all reserve coal piles now exhausted, economists figmust be mined between now and April 1, 1922, to meet the country’s normal demands. Operators and miners figure they must produce an average of 12,000,000 tons a week. Up to April 1, when the strike began, the average price for “spot coal" at the mines was approximately $2.10 a ton. Maximum Price Uncertain Under the Hoover agreement of May 30, a “maximum price” of $3.50 a ton was agreed on as a move to prevent profiteereing by many non union operators who were even then taking advantage of a coal famine to shoot their price sky-high. If the Government's coal-rationing commission, of which Henry B. Spencer is chairman, does not increase the “maximum price” for c.oai at the mines beyond $3.50 a ton, the. coal > operators will be able to sell 12,000.000 tons a week for $42,000,000, as against they were receiving for a similar tonnage prior to April 1. This does not take into consideration the coal brokers, jobbers and retailers who will add on their profits before the coal reaches the consufing public. Economists sv they are ultra-con-servative in figuring an increase of $2 a ton to the buying public over prices of last year. Rails Evade Profits The railroads are the only interests that can protect themselves against middlemen’s profits. They buy their j coal at the mines direct—many roads I own their own mines. j Industries, at the same increase, will pay $212,800,000 more for their coal; electric utilities. $45,600,000 more, and other coal consuming in terests in proportion to their demands.

ECZEMA Bu OR. R. n. RIBHOr. Et~~~ hCZEMA Is the com- ■ mot.est of all skin • diseases, ft .is Li id skin crying out,' either from neglect or bad treatIt is not contagious. Some- * times it is acute but more often 'it is chronic. In ■ variably it is at- ■* tended by itching, and sometimes by loss of cuticte. The skin, like other parts of the body, depends on the whole system for nutrition, and when the system fails to give this nutrition there is an eruption on the surface. When the skin is not properly nourished every slight irritation is liable to produce eczema. Eczema may occur on any part of the body or even cover every inch of the body and in such cases treatment is very difficult. In treating it the cause must be found and removed if possible, moisture and air must be avoided and protection must be furnished by means of ointments, dusting powders ; and bandages, but seldom by lotiors j and watery fluids. The bowels must j be kept open and attention should be paid to the diet, excluding acid fruits, shell fish, tomatoes, and a’nv other Irritating food. Pure air, combined with the proper kind of exercise, promotes the functions of the skin and assists in keeping the blood in good condition. • A person suffering from eczema should avoid tub-baths and use soap j and water sparingly. Bran added tb j the water, or baking soda, in the pro- j portion of one teaspoonfui to the j basin of water, is helpful. The wafer i should always be soft. The use of j water on the face should be followed | by the immediate use of cold cream, j The cause can sometimes be traced j to weakness of the physical condition | or bad nerves. In all cases a phy- j slcian should be consulted in older’ to point out causes of the disease i and special treatment

United States Spends Millions for Starving Russian Urchins, HaskelVs Report Shows

By NEA Service NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—“ The peak of American relief has been reached in starving Russia and the specter of farn.ne fast is disapxiearing.” That is the message brought by Col. William N. Haskell, director of the American Relief Administration. Just back from Russia to make a report to Chairman Herbert Hoover, he gives a comprehensive survey of the work already done. “Wl are feeding 10,000,000 people, including 3,500,000 children and 6,500,000 adults,” he says. “The work, covering an area of 4,000,000 square miles, is being done by 200 Americans. Close to 800,000 tons of supplies have been distributed. “Child feeding was begun last Sept. 1 and adult feeding April 1. By the coming September adult relief will cease, and the feeding of children will be cut down gradually to 1,000,000. \“By that time crops will have matured, for there was much more planting last spring following the distribution by the Soviet government pf the $10,000,000 worth of seed grain. U. 8. Checks Hunger “America checked the famine, reduced deaths by starvation to a minimum and tided the people over, especially in the Volga region. When the harvest comes our food drive will be practically over and we shall devote our chief attention to medical and sanitation work:” Out of the $30,000,000 subscribed by the American people two years ago for Central European relief, $8,000,000 has gone to feed Russian children, according to Haskell. Daily 3,500,000 children visit the 18,000 American kitchens. Each has piato and spoon and receives a wellcooked meal consisting of bread, cocoa and milk and either rice, beans or corn grits. Out of tho $20,000,000 appropriated by Congress 200,000 tons of corn have been shipped into the Volga region. Needy adults numbering 5,000,000 re- j eeive thirty pounds of corn a month.

Underground Wire Successfully Replaces Antennae Equipment

By PAUL F. IIOM.F.Y America's. Foremost Radio Authority. Radio reception on an underground antenna aoi ks successfully. Experiments in this type a- ' were instituted during the war ui an effort to reduce static interference. At one time the secret service discovered a German plan to cut all cable connections between the United | States and Europe. . Transoceanic radio became all-irn-j portant. Several of the cables were cut. The heavy traffic which radio was then called upon to carry was subjected to great delay because of atmospheric disturbances. Every competent agency In this country mode effort at this time to solve th>- statis riddle. It was found that a long wire directed toward ihe station from which | it was desired to receive would pick j up great signal energies with consulerably better "signal to static ratio ; than the ordinary type of tuned an’j tenna.

Aug. 4—France j needs press agents, according to Ambassador Myron T. Herrick, homo j from Paris for a two-months* vaca- | tion on his farm near Cleveland, Ohio. There has been entirely too much "gloom" printed about France, he . said in an interview, and not enough I "Joy." All of thL; has caused a wide-’ spread erroneous impression in the United States, he says. "There is practically no unemployment in France,’’ he reports. "Out of a population of 40,000,000 only 4.000 persons were getting unemployment allowances on July 1. “France has spent 93,000,000.000 of francs already on the restoration | of her devastated areas, despite fad--1 ure to collect the too long delayed reparations payments. The same un- : daunted spirit of tho people which carried them through the war is now j patiently restoring the soil and their shattered homes.” Ambassador Herrick expressed the opinion that Europe is not going to the "damnation bow-wows.” BOOKS FOR HOSTESSES Indianapolis Public Library C’irculaj tion Department, St, Clair Square.

This inoculation campaign, the greatest ever conceived, is against typhoid and cholera. $1,000,000 in Food Monthly The American Relief Administration distributes $1,000,000 worth of food a month in 10,000 packets. Remittance orders are bought at $lO each —75 per cent coming from America—and the food, shipped in bulk, is put up at Moscow warehouses. Each of these packets contains fforty-nine pounds of flour, twenty cans of condensed milk, t<venty-five pounds of rice, ten pounds of sugar, ten pounds of lard and three pounds of tea. This is enough to keep one \ person alive for a month to six j w'eeks. Less than one-tenth of one per cent of food furnished by America has been lost through theft.
