nor so sanitary as the houses the neighboring farmers provide for their cattle or their poultry. The fnrmers are extremely careful nbout thir live stock if they exrocr profits. Stables are so placed . that they g-et the maximum amount of unli&ht. Drainage, is thoughtfully considered. The architecture of the outhouses is completely handled on all the progressive farms. The contrast between the shelter available for live stock on thn well-
In Gary, lnd., many working people b'lned into a hut not so light, so clean, managed country establishments and
the "residences' of some of the workmen .s rather startling. lty Million for Houae. Congress has after long delay authorized the expenditure of $60,000 to correct just such conditions as exist at Gary. The men and women who have poured into Gary and into othT cities where war work is being done cannot do their best if they live in hovels. They need shelter as wisely planned as ihst provided by the farmers for cows, horses, pinrs and chickens.
Much time was required to persuade Congress that this is true. Kven in this hill sent to the President the hesitation of the Senators and Representatives ti tackle the problem seriously shows Itself. The bill provides that wherever practicable the houses erecte! by the rovernment be temporary in character. Congress was much nfrrid of doing anythingof permanent b"ne(lt to the country. I nnlK Parnlmonr. Parliament was much wier. Britain has built num- rous towns since the war
began. At first the huilcilng thfre was "temporary" in character, tint the Knglishman soon learned hetf-r than that. Temporary buildings are huts. They are the kind of structure to be found i:i deserted mining towns in the West. They are not erected v.ilh a view to human happiness, health or efficiency. That was the variety of buildinc congress appeared to have in inind. It Is to be hoped that the official actually charged with spending the money will not fall into the ,-ame mistake. If munitions and ships are to
be produced as rapidly as they might be. workmen must not be herded in shacks. They must be made as comfortable as possible. In that way onlv will they be stimulated to do their best. Speculation and tlum. Two other important features of thi; housing problem should be kept in mind. Congress tried to plan for on". In the firpt place no private individual must be allowed to profiteer" frot the government houses.
