More Houses Needed
Hard to Understand
Extends a Welcome
Worthy of Thought

Uncle Sam Not Niggardly
St. Johns' Roll of Honor
More dwellings in St. Johns
is the crying need of the hour.
It renuires three or four snecia
cara and trippers to take the
workmen employed in the St.
Johns industries to other sec
tions of the city each workday
evening And at least in i
majority of cases it is not he
cause the laborers would rattier
reside in other sections, hut
hecnuse they are utterly unable
to find suitable habitations in
St. Johns. The real estate
oflicea are literally besieged al
mo3t constantly with appealing
requests for houses to rent.
Everything available is occupied
and when a house is vacated
there is a grand rush to secure
it. Recently the Review con
tained ads. for a couple of
houses to rent, nnd there was
quite a scramble to see who
would get to them first.
How to remedy this unpar
alleled demand for tenant houses
is n problem that is difficult to
solve. In the past seven years
tenant houses have not proven a
paying investment in St. Johns.
Tho supply far excelled the de
mand, and as. a consequence n
number of houses were vacant
for long periods of timo nnd
rents were lowered in many
instances below n fair interest
on tho investment. Consequent
ly those of our citizens who aro
able financially to erect more
dwellings houses are very loath
to do so in the light of past ex
periences. It is hard for them
to realize that St. Johns is now
built on a more substantial
basis than ever before; that the
bottom has been reached nnd
that progress is now on a steady
rapid advancement. In nil pro
bability novcr again will St.
Johns reach the low ebb that
obtained in tho years recently
passed.
Another clement that enters
into tho tenant house as an
investment is the exceedingly
high price of all building mater
ial. An ordinary dwelling will
probably cost ono-third moro
than would hnve been tho case
two or three years ago. There
is not a single thing that
enters into construction of
houses that has not advanced
most materially. Lumber,
shingles, hardware, plumbing,
labor, etc., have all taken a big
leap in price. Therefore, some
claim that it is inadvisable to
build until tho cost of building
construction decreases. But
this may require years, and in
tho meantimo the street cars
nro loaded morning nnd evening
with people who would bo only
too glad to becomo citizons of
St. Johns nnd lenvo their dollars
hero in making this a larger,
better and more prosperous com
munity. There are some parties here,
The Peninsula Security Co.,
in particular, who nro ready and
willing to erect houses to suit
the purchaser which may be se
cured on the installment plan.
Such otTers relievo the tension
to some extent, but there nro so
many among the workmen who
are employed nt the various in
stitutions here who desire to
first see how they will like to
livo in St. Johns and be sure of
permanent employment before
investing in real estate.
It is these persons who are tho
most desirous of securing ten
ant houses. There is no doubt
that a number of the employes
will later on purchase homes
for themselves. The moro they
sea of St. John3, the better they
will like it, because they cannot
help it. It is a rare instance
in which anyone who has ever
resided hero did not like it.
Everybody who knows the place
is highly impressed with U. It
would be a fine thing if some
plan could be worked out
whereby more tenant houses
would be erected, but as more
confidence in the stability of St.
Johns is regained there can be
little doubt that in spite of the
increased cost of building
material, new houses will be
continually springing up. New
industries will come, more
workmen will be employed and
still more tenant houses will be
required so it is doubtful if
the sunnlv of tenant houses will
in years to come be equal to the
demand. St. Johns is on the
eve of the greatest development
she has ever known, and noth
ing apparently can now pre
vent her from becoming one of
the greatest industrial centers
of the entire Northwest.

Europeans aro buying war
bread more cheaply than
Americans. With flour milled
from American wheat, bakeries
of Great Britain, France, Italy
and Belgium arc selling bread
at from GO to 100 per cent less
than this country's white loaf
compounds. These figures aro
given by Representative Kent
ing, Colorado, father of the
child labor bill, who, with other
congressmen, asked: Why not
o-cent bread in Amencnr' In
Grent Britain 32 ounces of bread
sell for 11 cents; in France 35
ounces for 9 cents; in Italy 35
ounces tor a cents ana in Bel
gium 35 ounces lor 11 cents.
In Washington D. C, 14 ounces
sell for 10 cents. "Remember,"
said Keating, "that the grain
which goes in this bread was
raised and sold by American
armors ; that speculators and
middlemen made their regular
profits; that freight was paid
to the seaboard and tho highest
cargo rate in history expended
for its shipment across tho At-
antic. What reason can be as
signed, then, for the fact that
bread is sold cheaper 5000 miles
away from tho original wheat
field that is at home?
"Five cent bread is what tho
masses of the country need.
Those above ranks of workers
are able to eat, even if they nre
overcharged. But the man who
nbors should have his table
protected. "A food regulation
which means cheaper wheat
for the farm and cheaper flour
for the miller and baker but
which does not reach down to
the masses of the people, is a
arco. Tho people who find
their brend prices do not fall,
despite great promises, will be
more dissapointcd than if no
effort had been made to relieve
them."
Opportunity to Improve
That the American soldier in
tho new national army may im
prove his opportunities, save
lis money and como out of tho
war in far better financial, in
tellectual and physical condi
tion, thnn when ho went into
t. s tho promise held out to
lim both by the United States
government nnd tho National
War Council of tho Young
Men's Christian Association of
tho United States. The Army
Y. M. C. A. is giving education-
courses to men in nny sub
ject that a group of them may
select. Already in many can
tonments large classes in French
nre being held with some of
the best instructors in the
country in charge. These in
structors in many cases havo
volunteered for this service.
Classes in Spanish and even
in Russian are held. Every
advantage is being placed in
the wny of the American soldier
to improve his condition so that
when ho goes hack into privato
life after the close of the war,
he will be able to command a
better position and higher
salary than he did before. Not
only along educational lines is
the Army Y. M. C. A. striving
to help the enlisted man. It is
making it possible for him to
save his money, the Y. M. C.
A. secretaries at the camps ac
centing the deposits from the
soldiers. "Save Your Raise,"
is already a slogan in the camps
and many of tho enlisted men
are doing it against the day
when they will return to private
life. With these advantages be
fore them, with the splendjd
physical development which
army life makes possible, with
proper nourishment, entertain
ment and recreation, the new
American soldier has every in
ducement to raise the standard
of his mental, moral and fin
ancial standard and assume a
finer and higher position in life
when he leaves the service.

attendance. The sale opened
Saturday morning tit 7 o'clock
and for the first three hours the
money poured in through the
window at the rate of $1000 per
hour. The local sale for the
day was $7000 and the previous
mnil order amounted to o.uuu
bringing the totnl up to $12,000
for tho first day. I his broke
nil previous records. Jt will be
the biggest crowd and the best

Saturday Registration
Saturday is registration day
for the ladies of this common
wealth. Registration hours in
St. Johns are from 10 a. m. to
8 p. m. The registration places
are at the usual polling places
in each precinct. Committees
have been appointed in each
precinct to present the various
ladies of the community from
1G years up with registration
cards. Owing to the fact that
many of the ladies were not at
home when the committee call
ed and the shortness of the
time in making the canvass, a
number have not been provided
with registration cards. But
these may obtain cards at the
registration places Saturday.
It is requested that all ladies
register.
Plans aro under way for
the building of another large

been closed with the property
owners. Surveyors have been
at work for some time and it is
understood that construction
work will soon be started. The
plant is to cost about $400,000.
Miss Carmen Royer is suffer
ing from an attack of rheuma
tism,
"One of the causes for the
failure of local enterprises is
the failure on the part of many
people to comprehend that
whatever injuries any business
in n community reflects injury
upon the people of the commun
ity. Home enterprises should
be loyally supported by home
people. It is too;oftcn the case
that a business (hat is of in
calculable benefit for a locality
is hampered or ruined through
jealousies. Some people are so
constituted that they ennnot
endure to see an acquaintance
fairly prosperous, while they
nre perfectly willing to con
tribute to the prosperity of n
stranger. The person who makes
his money here nnd spends it
elsewhere need not ho surprised
that others imitate his example
and that in the course of
events, crashes result, which
throw him out of employment
or entail losses tn other ways.
Loyalty to home interests is
essential to the prosperity of
any community, Kight now
the pcoplo of Oregon can make
up their minds to get behind
the wooden shipbuilding in
dustry and demand recognition
for it. or we will see it dissap-
pear as rapidly as it came. If
the government is going to
abnndon wooden ship enstruc-
tion when present contracts arc
furnished, firms engaged in
this work should be advised of
the exact outlook so they enn
begin to go after private busi
ness. "Aggressive support for
tne wooden shipbuilding pro
gram is needed," says secre
tary Dodson of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. Polk

As Others See Us
Tho Butte Dnilv Post in an
editorial says: "Under the im-
netus of a nnvroll almost wholly
connected with 'the shipbuild
ing industry, Portland is milk
ing a brave effort to hold its
own. Until the recent revival
of shipbuilding, Oregon's chief
city nnd been going steadily
from bad to worse. Its princi
nal industry, lumbering, was
crippled by legislation enacted
by n democratic congress; other
tat ill schedules seemed to dis
criminate against the state.
The federal government failed
to carry out certain proposed
irriirntinn nroiccts that hnd nro-
mised relief, and this, with nn
era of high tnxes and low
prices for farm products, helped
to mnke times dull in Oregon."

If She Had Been Strong

in the country store the talk
drifted to the work done by
the various wives of the com

and gets breakfast for 10 hard

the commercial traveler who
happened to be present. "No,

a burst of enthusiasm "if that

An noronlnnc that is uxnected
to solve the problem of soaring
against the wind, nftcr the
manner in which the seagull
and the nlbatross solve it, is
being built nt St. Johns, and
l will soon be ready for test by
i its inventor, John Woldemnr
, Ruben, of 7G7 Kerby street.
Mr. Ruben has secured patents
on the essential features of his
plane, nnd it is expected that
I when fully developed it will be
'in great demand, as eliminating
I to u huge extent the power pro
I blcm in flying. Mr. Ruben is
a native of Russia, born in
Riga, and has been in the
United States about 10 years.
Interested in aerodynamics, he
applied himself particularly to
the solution of the problem of
soaring against the wind, tak
ing for his models the gulls
and the nlbatross, the birds
which arc characteristically
soarcrs and which arc able to
advance in the teeth of the
wind without flapping their
wings. Experimentation with
small models on the principles
he observed in soaring birds
resulted finally in a model
which would fly in the teeth of
the wind at a rate of from 20
to 30 miles nn hour. To soar in
the wind he found that the
outer extremities of the wings
are inclined at a negative an
gle to tho pnrts next the body,
while the horizontal rudder
the tail of the bird takes a
position between the two sur
faces. The aeroplane is built
along these lines, the distinc
tive feature being the pcculinr
ly curved and counter warped
wings. A light model of from!
two to eight pounds has been;
found able to fly against the
wind, using its force us a
motive power and without mo
chanical motive power. The
air resistance of the machine is
very low, as the wings are
swept back and aro in a dihed
ral angle. Tho wings are made
moveable along the body so that
the center of pressure is -displaced
according to the center
of gravity, nnd the machine is
self stabilizing. Mr. Ruben
places his confidence in the
future of the machine particul
arly in its speed and caso of
maneuvering, with the stabil
ity in the air nnd tho economy
of power. "Flying machines
now in use," he declares, "are
uneconomical in competion with
natural flying birds. To lift 88
pounds requires one horsepow
er, while tho present flying
machine requires about five
horsepower to lift 100 pounds
in n monoplane, or four and ono
half horsepower in biplanes."

You may have observed that in
the appearance of the men,
in what they tell you about

the papers that the total cost
of these for each man is, at the
outset, $150.30. But tho gen
erality is not so interesting as
the detuils. An analysis of the
clothing bill of $101.21 is worth
while. That bill covers as a
fundamental for sleeping com
fort two woolen blankets at a
cost of $18.75. Ono can feel
comfortnble even in the very
consideration of u $9 blanket,

two wool service conts that cost
$15.20, three suits of summer

others, omitting not the belt
and the hat cord, the shoe laces
and socks nnd shelter tent nnd

In the matter of fighting equip
ment the bill is $17.36. The
