By NANCY PEPPER Everybody’s Doing It Funny thing about you teens —you all seem to be doing the same things at the same time. You’re reading the same books (right now “Captain From Castile** and “Black Rose*’ are your favorites); you’re swooning over the same movies (and “Leave Her to Heaven** is a current erase); you’re dancing to the same tune (we hope you’re his “Symphony’’). And here’s what you’re doing, besides homework, on week-day evenings. Tunes by Telephone—No wonder the other members of your family

are forced down to the corner drugstore to make a phone call. You’ve just bought a new record (could be H. James’ with “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows”) and you have to play it

JI,

on your portable over the telephone so your Best Friend can enjoy it with you. Look, is that what Don Ameche invented the telephone for? Self-Starters—Oh,, the tilings you start in the evenings that you forget all about in the mornings! You’re going to knit yourself a jacquard sweater; you’re going to clean out your bureau drawers tthink of all the termites you’d be rendering homeless); you’re going to write those letters; you’re going to mend your clothes; you’re going te start that scrapbook. At Bp. m. they seem like Important Projects; by 8 a. m. you’ve slept ’em off. I THINK THAT I SHALL NEVER SEE— What do you think of that Tree Company? I believe It will Branch out into something good. You’re out on a Limb. Oak—Then Leaf it alone. TRIXIE TEEN SAYSYou couldn't finish your homework last night because Jim called you up and then you had to call Janie and tell her everything he said. Then you HAD to listen to Frankie and, by the time you'd rolled your hair up on some old socks, you couldn’t see a straight line, even if it was the shortest distance between two points. So you left it for study period—but Nancy Jones had a movie magazine with a Fan Johnson interview about his ideal girl. So you rated a zero in class. Yes, you’re the .girl who’s always putting off ’til Tomorrow what should have been done Yesterday. You’re the girl for whom Today is always a total loss. The Taj Mahal in India The Taj Mahal at Agra, India, is 186 feet square, with a dome 58 feet in internal diameter, rising to a total height of 210 feet. Invented Clock The invention of the clock is ascribed to Pope Silvester II in 996 A. D.

TODAY’S acute housing shortage was in plain view ten years ago. Experts in the business of building and equipping homes were writing articles and making speeches back in the 1930’s forecasting what they called the building boom of the 1940’5. They supported their predictions with sound reasoning, and leaders in many equipment lines arranged to meet the demand. Wars always frustrate plans, and few were revised more in World War II than those of the building trades. Priorities on materials, shortages of labor and the compelling urge for victory changed most things, but the predicted need for more homes came, right on schedule. It is even bigger than the experts had estimated, because war retarded building and accelerated marrying. Regulated PLANS made before Shortages the war for meeting this expected peak demand are still workable plans. If industry were free today as it was then, people who want homes would be getting them a great deal faster. I believe Herbert U. Nelson of the National Association of Real Estate Boards has proved that Washington bureaucracy is chiefly to blame for today’s housing shortage. It’s an old story that America has housing a plenty, and it was always true until lately. France, England and other European countries, that have endured regulation of home building since World War I, have been short of

housing meanwhile. Bureaucracy got a firm grip on American building during World War II and now hates to let-go, shortage or no shortage. Expensive THE OPA is the Expedient sorest bunion on the toe of our progress. Here is an illustration: Manufacturers of fir doors got caught behind increased manufacturing costs and asked opa for permission to raise prices 75t per door. It was refused. Result: No doors by mass production. Carpenters can build doors where they hang them, of course, at much loss of time and at several times normal cost A similar man-made muddle built a bottle-neck in window sash. There’s almost no end to the roster of crippling rules in this one industry. Miles Colean, a thoroughly respected Washington economist, says that industries producing building materials are fully reconverted; full capacity restored. Still the most productive nation of history is handcuffed and can’t house itself. Why? A price fixing agency, while proclaiming its loyalty to the people, has refused many small strategic upward revisions, thus halting production. Consumers do without things or pay amazing prices for makeshifts. It savors of the Marie Antoinette school of thought. On being informed that by reason of her extravagance, her subjects had no bread, she said, “Let them eat cake.” .
