MODERN HOUSES

Demand for Rental Homes Is
Such Agents Cannot Meet
It In Some Sections.
BUNGALOWS - SOON TAKEN
Even Old Structures Not Equipped
With Up-to-Date Facilities Are
Ken tins With Surprising
Fastness In Portland. -
The rental situation has improved So
greatly in Portland within the past
year, and particularly within the past
six months, that today It is difficult,
in many localities, to obtain a modern
bouse.
There are still vacant houses In
Portland, It is true, and quite a num
ber of them. But there are almost no
thoroughly up-to-date and modern
houses to be had. They are snapped
up about as fast as they become va
cant. If the older Houses were fixed
up there would be a demand for them,
too, th; demand being for modern
houses.
This is particularly true of the
houses of five, six and seven rooms.
Virtually no bungalows are for rent
anywhere in the city. Occasionally one
Is on the rental market briefly when
a tenant moves out, but it is occupied
again in no time.
Shipbuilding Brings Many.
"The demand for modern houses in
all parts of the city, but particularly
In industrial sections like South Port
land, is very strong," said Frank L.
McGuire, president of the Portland
Realty Board,' yesterday. "We have
no trouble at all in renting a modern
house today. A year ago rental houses
were too often a drug on the market.
"There are unquestionably many
thousands more of persons in Port
land today than there were a year ago.
The shipbuilding industry is the larg
est factor in bringing them here.
There are also a good many persons
here on business of various kinds for
the allied interests, who are looking
for houses to rent during their stay
here.
"Naturally it is harder to rent the
older houses and those that are run
down on the outside or Inside, but
there is a demand even for them. In
some localities rental houses are so
scarce that renters will take any that
are to be had.
"Rents have not Increased much as
yet, but my own experience is that
there is no longer complaint on the
part of those looking for houses about
the rents asked."
Donald G. Woodward, rental agent,
also said that the rental situation was
very much improved over what it was
a year ago.
Furnished Bungalows- la Demand.
"There seems to be especially a de
mand for furnished houses," he said.
"Any reasonably modern furnished
house can be rented without difficulty.
There is a big demand for the smaller
houses, whether furnished or unfur
nished; that is. those of five and six
rooms. The larger houses of eight,
nine or ten rooms have not rented so
quickly,
"IP is just about impossible to find
a bungalow for. rent in the city. Bun
galows are taken as fast as they are
vacant.
"While rents remain at about the
arae figure as a year ago, there is a
srood prospect that they will increase
In the Spring. Rents now range from
S or J10 to 15 or $20, according to
location and size of the house, with
tome houses bringing $25.-
"If the demand for rental houses
continues, it will be but a short time
before the suply of them will be ex
hausted. In some localities now, par
ticularly Jn South Portland, It is dif
ficult to obtain houses."
er. It is less drying because Its temper
ature is lower and its wind velocity is
less. The difference in temperature is
greater, being the difference between
70 to 75 on the one hand and 90 to 130
on the other. Schoolroom air moves at
the - rate of about 25 feet a minute,
while desert air that moves at the rate
of 600 feet a minute (5.7 miles an hour)
would be said to be almost breezeless.
The usual wind movement is greater
than that.
The dryingness of schoolroom air and
of desert air have been tested with two
Instruments the atometer and the
kathermometer. Both of - these show
that desert air is the more drying when
the temperatures and humidities are
about the same. With the desert air at
100 temperature, 80 humidity, and BOO
feet a minute velocity and schoolroom
air at 70 temperature, 20 humidity, and
25 feet velocity the dryingness of the
desert would be 16.8 as compared with
15.2 for the schoolroom.
Thesetests show that schoolroom air
is never as bad as Death Valley. But
then who would want children subject
ed to conditions anywhere nearly so
bad as Death Valley? Nobody but the
hardiest of men try to live in Death
Valley. The lure of fortune tempts
few men to go In there. Of those that
go in many die, many escape after a
short stay, few think of remaining
there 10 sehool months on a stretch.
On the other hand, young children are
forced by law to stay in school for 10
months out of the year.

Moisture a Good Slara.
Thermo Hygrometer writes: "In a
five-room modern flat, stove heated,
bathroom window, kitchen transom,
one bedroom window and one dining
room window usually open from the
top an inch or more always during the
day; a dish of water always on the
back of the heating stove; two good
thermometers, but no hygrometer on
hand. Temperature is always at 70,
sometimes as much as 4 degrees over
that mark.
"What is the reason for this in a flat
of this description? The moisture is
quite heavy at times. Is it a good or
a bad sign? Is it a sign that there is
not enough ventilation, that the air ia
too moist, r whatT"
REPLY.
Sweating windows in a flat or residence Is
a rood sian. I do not koow why you have
so much moisture unless the pan on the
stove evaporates a good deal. ro not evapo
rate less. More would be better. A tem
perature of 70 to 74 Is toe high; 8 to 70
is rigat.

Palmer tells us that while school
room air is dryer than a desert, it is
not so drying. He says "warm, dry
Kcnooirooms nave without doubt been
the cause of many headaches, lowered
vitality, colds and inattentlveness, but
even so, the results do not seem as
severe as the effect of desert air."
Huntington says: "In such a place as
ueatn Valley in Summer with the ther
mometer at 100 to 135 in the shade it Is
almost Impossible to drink enough
water to preserve normal physiological
conditions." Certainly schoolrooms
never approximate conditions as bad
as these.
Some desert relative humidities have
been recorded as follows: -
Trans-Caspian desert In Asia. ..19 to 40
Sahara . . .-..27
Death Valley . . 23
Yuma .35
Near Santa Fe . .. 29
Aa compared with this note the fol
lowing schoolroom relative humidities:
A typical New York City schoolroom, 20
Public school C, humidified. ....... .88
Public school A, unhumldified.-. . . .25
Public school B, unhumldified 28
Eight fan ventilated schools.-. .11 to 17
Topeka (Kan.) schools. ...... ... 23
But while schoolroom air is dryer It
Is lessdrylng than desert air by rea
son of the following consideration,
evaporation of moisture depending
upon three considerations:
1. Heat of the water and of the air.
2. The relative humidity of the air.
3. Rate of movement of the air.
All three of these must be taken Into
consideration and not the relative hu
midity of the air alone.

Iocsnotov Ataxia.
S. E. wTites: "Would you please an
swer the following questions:
"1. What are the symptoms of loco
motor ataxia, the cause, cure, and is It
contaglousT -
"2. What diseases Is salvarsan used
for?,
"8. Would one Injection of salvarsan
in the spine and nine in the arm be
sufficient to kill any kind of blood
poison?"
REPLY.
1. The moit charaeterlstle early symptom
Is attacks of sharp, shooting pains. These
pains may be la the legs or abdomen or
even elsewhere. Later, symptoms in the
soles of the feet, inability to stand when
the Heels are together and the eyes are
closed. Loss of knee reflexes. It is due to
syphilis. In a certain sense there Is no care.
Muscle training and musola education are
not curative so much as. they are reparative
or compensating. It is not contagious.
z. syphilis ana a lew other Infections with
animal parasites.
S. No. Salvarsan Is of limited service in
locomotor ataxia. The symptoms of this
disease usually do not come until several
years after the Infection has occurred. , The
diagnosis is not made usually until the
disease is f illy 7 developed. For both these
reasons salvarsan, when it Is given for lo
comotor ataxia, is not of great service. Nor
is it easy to get -the salvarsan into the spinal
canal in effective concentration.

CAUSE.
Various Switches Hade In Minor Branch

Miss Bertie L. asks: "What remedy
can you recommend to reduce obeaity
safely? 1 want to reduce about SO
pounds."
Answer: I rely on five-grain arbo
lone tablets as being the most effec
tive and convenient treatment to re
duce abnormal fat. Druggists supply
this In sealed tubes with complete di
rections. After the first few days a
pound a day is not too much reduc
tion. Mr. G. R. writes: "Please tell me
what to take to get rid of pimples,
boils and bad blood. I know I need a
constipation remedy."
-Answer: It Is probably neglect of
constipation that has made your blood
bad. Begin a thorough treatment of
three grain sulpherb tablets (not sul
phur tablets). Continue for several
months.

M. J. B. asks: "My hair la too oily
and ray scalp itches with dandruff,

What Is a good treatment?"
Answer: Obtain plain yellow minyol
from your druggist in 4-oz. jars and
apply as per directions. This cleans,
purifies, cools and invigorates the hair
and scalp, thus stopping the death of
the hair. Dandruff and itching are at
once relieved. Men and women all over
the country now use It regularly.

year have suffered extreme nervous
ness, trembling and extremities are
cold. Have poor appetite, am weak,
listless and no ambition to work or

and in no sense the strong capable
man I was a few years ago."
