A campaign for tbe building of homes is Philadelphia's answer to tbe ques tion of bow to keep rents down to a reasonable basis. The tenant popu lation Is In desperate straits for rents have been going higher and higher and no end seems to be In sight. The scramble for homes In the suburbs Is so acute that when one woman moved some of the fur niture out of her home the other Joy In order to clean the house, 25 per sons tried to rent it from her within a few hours. To slop tho profiteering in rents and homes, several organizations are attempting to unite on a program of house building to continue for at least six mouths or until the short age has been relieved. These organi zations include Associations of Ten ants, Trado Unions ' representatives of the building' trades, and mortgag ing companies. They have been asked to undertake this work by tbe department of public welfare. Meanwhile camping ground acces sible by street cars Is in great de maud. Tent manufacturers Bay more orders have been placed for tents this month than ever before In Philadelphia's history. There Is an unprecedented amount of building of cheap cottages and bungalows v. ll bin a radius of 30 miles of Philadelphia to accommo date the rush of tenants that la ex pectedwh en mild weather comes. Those erected in one community cost about $600 each and are eagerly rented at $350 for the season. Old canal boats lying along tbe Schuylkill river are being fitted out as dwellings and families tre glud to rent them as temporary homes. NEWS SNAP SHOTS (Nm to Itniicti F.

Auto Catches Fire At Local Garage A California tourist car was burn ed last night at the Ilosehurg gar age, the fire menacing the entire building for a Bhort time. The blaze started from a short circuit in the Ignition and burned out all of the wiring and slightly damaged the engine and body of the car. The fire was noticed by a pedestrian and the machine was pushed out of the gnr uge Into the street, where the Py rene extinguisher quickly extinguish ed the blaze which had caught the oil and was rapidly spreading to the Tasoline tank. Had It not been no ticed at the time an explosion would rtrobahlv have occurred ancl a great 4cal more damage done. of hogs would continue to drop un til the price would be so low that they would not get return from their feed. A few day! ago there were over fifty bead of fine stock bogs shipped from Yoncalla to the Portland stockyards. Our opinion Is that this Is a mistake, and that la stead of hogs lolng lower that there will be a slight advance in price in the next few months. Wallace's Farmer, printed at Des Moines, Iowa, Is deemed one of tbe best authorities on hog prices in the Unltrd States. The following extract from that paper of April 2 confirms us In the statements above: "We have been stating tor ceveral weeks that the business outlook is such that hogs should be selling at around $17 20 a hundred in Chicago. Since we first made this statement, business has continued to Improve, fo that we now feel tbut the situa tion is such that hogs should be sell ing at around $17.80 a hundred at Chicago. Hitherto the hog market has been depressed because of the failure of the European countries to buy the enormous stocks which they woreexpected to. They cannot stay out of the market Indefinitely, how ever, .and now that a genuine hog shortage seems to be developing, there Is reason to believe that hog prices will start advancing. A little genuine activity on tbe part of tbe British hog-buylng commission could quite easily send hogs up $2 or $3 a hundred within five or six weeks. The low prices which existed for hoga during February and March are a great tribute to the ability of the packers to buy cheaply when -they want to. or to the ability of the British pork-buying commission, or lo both. I nless an unusually large fall pig crop starts coming on the market In May and June, farmers should have things pretty much tbelr own way In the ho market during the next five or six months. Of course, some time In late August or September it Is to he anticipated that there will be a strategical break In foreign exchange which will serve to make prices decidedly Irregular."
