FIVE Mil .!ON HOMES ARE
NEEDED IN AMERICA
The depression has left the Ameri
can people in need of at least 5,600,-
new homes, according to PWA
housing experts.
It would take that many, they
•stay, to replace the worst slums and
jfive families about the same kind of
living quarters they had in 1930.
Homes for 135,000 low income
Families may be provided in the next
three years through local projects
supported by federal loans under the
$526,000,000 Wagner housing cat.
PWA files, however, contain noth
ing to show that private enterprise
is getting into the field of providing
homes for lower income families.
Public works officials list five fac
tors as affecting the need for houses
ars the nation rises out of depression:
1. The population has increased.
2. Home building during the de
pression did not keep pace with the
population. Over a six-year period
in Enid, Okla., for instance, five
families were added to the popula
tion for every new dwelling erect
ed. A 1935 survey in Birmingham,
Ala., showed that while 2,000 new
families had been added to the city
only 500 new homes had been built.
3. Families which doubled up in a
single home to weather economic j
stress are now unscrambling. Ty
pical of the depression situation, the
experts said, was Lackawanna, N. Y.,
'(population about 25,000), where
200 families were doubled up in
1935 and the number had increased
to 400 families by 1936.
4. Families which migrated from
the cities to the farms during the de
pression are wandering back to the
industrial centers in search of new
jobs.
5. Marriage, held back by the de
pression, is on the increase, and
nearly every newly married couple
sdemaml anew home. Statisticians,
comparing marriage before and dur
ing the depression, found there were
nbout 1,250,000 marriages which
“did not happen” in the lean years.
BABY-CHICK RACKET IS
NEWEST POSTAL WORRY
Day-old chicks are causing their
■share of trouble to thousands of
postal employes, as thousands of
fluffy “biddies” flood the mails.
Their “peep, peeps” distract the
workers in post offices, in mail cars
and delivery wagons.
Without water or feed, millions of
the tiny creatures are being sent by
over-supplied hatcheries to fictitious
addresses, collect on delivery.
Jammed in crates, tossed about
here and there, the hungry little fel
lows strike at the hearts of the post
al employes.
Many die, however, before the
workers dig down in their pockets to
buy food for them. There is no
provision for the government to care
for them.
The great flood of baby chicks
now being sent to fictitious address
es, collect on delivery, has been dis
closed by postal authorities as a
■"‘racket,” pure and simple.
disable to dispose of the chicks,
the hatcheries crate them up and
mail them to anybody, or to any
address they can imagine.
When the chicks are unclaimed or
undelivered, the postmaster receiv
ing them must sell them at auction,
deduct the postage charges and re
turn the balance to the senders.
Efforts to stop the surge of un
wanted “peep-peep” thus far have
been unavailing. So, Farley has is
sued an order to postmasters to ac
cept for parcel post day-old chicks
at their own peril.

THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
Quite often when one is in a
hurry to mail a letter, there will be
but one stamp and it has no muci
lage on its back. In this predica
ment all necessary is to moisten the
mucilage flap on another envelope,
run the stamp over the dampened
part quickly, then place on the let
ter to be mailed.
tt t t
A crack on the inside of a range
can be mended by using a filler
made of equal parts of common
table salt and wood ashes, moisten
ed with water to the proper con
sistency. The filler will dry hard
and will be lasting.
♦t t t
A novel way to water the hang
ing-basket, without spilling water on
the floor, is to insert a small funnel
in the dirt, as near the center of the
basket as possible, and hidden by
the foliage. Fill this funnel with
water every day, and it will soak
into the soil gradually.
tt t t
A way to test the quality of coffee
is to put a spoonful in a glass of
cold water and add a few drops of
lemon juice. If the coffee is pure it
will remain on top of the water; if
not, the water will become brown
in color.
A most practical patch bag can
be made from a yard or two of mos
quito netting. This enables one to
see the contents from the outside,
and there is no necessity for empty
ing the entire contents to find the
exact piece of goods wanted.
tt t t
The secret of pouring liquid from
a can is to make two holes in the
can instead of one, about an inch
apart. The one hole is for the
liquid to pour from, the other hole
to let the air into the can.
tt t t
When necessary to write while
traveling in an automobile, train, or
bus, press the elbows into the body
just above the hips, and you will
find the task easy.
That important door key will not
be evasive any more when the house
wife returns from the grocery, if
she will sew a large-sized dress hook
inside her handbag, near the top,
on which to hang the key.
tt t t
Cut the strips containing buttons
and button holes from discarded
garments and use them under flys
in new garments. This will save
much time and labor.
otf + t
Solid playing cards can be clean
ed by dipping a small sponge in
spirits of camphor and rubbing the
card gently. This will restore the
newness.
tt t t
If four rubber-tipped door steps
are screwed into the legs of an ordi
nary chair, it will make an ideal
high chair for kitchen work, or for
a small child.

A solution of peroxide of hydro
gen containing a few drops of am
monia will remove ink stains from
the hands.
