CLEVELAND FINDS
A WAY TO BUILD
200 Homes To Be Erect
ed In Next Thirty
Days
CLEVELAND, April 12.—This
city’s housing problem is to be solv
ed by efficient, common sense co
operation of all classes.
Headed by the Cleveland Real Es
tate Board, a joint committee repre
senting commercial, civic, technical
and labor organizations together with
public officials divided the problem
into three parts.
It was decided, first, to curb rent
profiteering; second, to provide tem
porary homes for evicted tenants;
third, to launch a building campaign
to put an end to house shortage.
The citv government carried the
fight to the profiteers. It has made
eviction suits difficult, collected data
on landlords, listed building sites and
homes and resurrected an old law re
quiring a tenement tax to enforce
where profiteering exists.
The city has asked the War Depart
ment for 50,000 tents for the use of
homeless citizens. These tents will
be set up in parks this summer un
der the supervision of the city health
authorities.
But the greatest part of the work
will be done in the building campaign.
Manufacturers are asked to pledge
themselves to loan money to workers
to build homes and to restrict plant
expansion until homes are provided
for workers. Architects are design
ing standard homes and plumbers and
carpenters devising cheap systems of
building.
Material dealers are to supply ma
terial at quantity rates. A non
profit company will obtain funds from
citizens for loan to small home build
ers and in much the same way that
war drives were conducted.
The campaign is just getting under
way here, but it is expected that
within 30 days more than 200 new
homes will be under construction.
A compilation of the physical mea
surements of the men in the United
States service during the war, shows
there was an average gain of 3.35
pounds in weight and .23 inches in
height during the* period of service.

I’m sure. Once I painted a tulip in
my painting book at home and it look

So it was settled. Mr. Rubadub
got some brushes and things for them
and the twins were soon very busy.
Nancy reached up for the robin,

“Come on, birdie," she said sweet
