These ·suburbs recorded official permits totalling fl)A'/,535 for January as against $5,386,280 for January last year.

THE NEW HOME OF LLOYD HOlliSTER INC~ Club women throughout Illinois will support a national educationa] cam· paign deJigned to influence the government to recognize home-making as an. occupation and include it in the next United States census. Mrs. Walter W. Seymour, president of the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs, has just announced. The campaign is to be part of a better homes movement now being conducted by the federation's well-:equipped home committee and sup· ported by 100,000 club women affiliated with the {~deration. . Back of a home survey made by club women all over the United States, as well as in Illinois, is the hope that when the next federal census· is taken, the government will list as home-makers all women engaged in keeping house for their families and will make an official survey of home equipment such as was just made by the club women. WGI'k Slal'bMI ia Towu In 153 urban and rural communities in Illinois, the club women began with the town itself and reported whether or not it has a public water supply, public sewer system, central station electricity, gas service and regular collection of garbage and trash. The survey in the home was begun where the woman spends most of her working hours-the kitchen. Is there a kitchen sink?-running water?--gas for cooking?-running hot water?--."L telephone ?-These were the leading questions. Next came inquiry as to e 1e c t r i c equipment-lights irons washing machines, vacuum ~leaners' flat-work ironers, sewing machines' cook stoves and refrigerators. ' Then there were inquiries as to Califomia Acta to End whether the home is equipped· with a "_, Lo flush toilet, central heating plant and . Y aaue wering reaka" whether coal,-oil-or gas fired.
