12 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1921 A SERIOUS SITUATION The American People Must Solve Their Housing Problem by Saving. By EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELOCK. (Copyright, 1921, American Press League.) A news report printed the morning this is written announces that the sen- ate committee on "reconstruction and production," of which Senator W. M. Calder of New York is chairman, gives especial attention to the housing prob- lem. The report says the committee regards the situation as serious and be- lieves "effective measures for relief must be taken at once, and that al- ready the health and morals of per- sons living in large centers are affect- ed." How We Met Serious Situations. Do you remember how "serious situ- ations" were met during the war? Belgium and northern France were invaded by hostile armies and the peo- ple of those territories were in danger | 'of starvation. Great Britain, France and Italy must have food. | Then came our own entry into the war and money must be raised to send an army across the ocean 3,000 miles; to arm, feed and clothe that army and keep it supplied with munitions. Sure- ly, there were serious situations a- plenty then. An appeal was sent out to the Amer- ican people to save--and they saved. In other countries citizens were put on food rations; in this country the sav- ing was voluntary. With the excep- tion of sugar and flour Americans could buy all they wanted and enough of those articles was permitted to meet all reasonable requirements. Now Comes the Housing Problem. And Americans fed the world for years; Americans furnished money to raise, arm and equip an army of more than three million men and send them across the water; America loaned the allies something like ten billions of dol- lars. Now comes a housing problem that is also pronounced serious and con- gress is considering taking steps te find a solution. Same Old Solution--Save, The American people must attend to the job themselves. They must save, as they did during the war period, and build homes. They must organize by communities for this purpose. It is not laws that are required, but foundations, walls and roofs--houses. Laws did not feed the allies and win the war. It was the savings of the peorle that did it. | There are ways in which individuals: may use their savings in buying homes; any banker will furnish infor mation as to how this can be done; all that is required is a steady occupatior and a will to save. The rest is easy. Don't Do It. Self-pity is the most elusive and de- ceptive form of selfishness; it beguiles the most acute mind which yields to it, and disintegrates the clearest Jjudg- | ment if it becomes a habit.---Hamilton W. Mabie.

Often the doctor advises a patient to be given a sweat in bed. The quickest way this can be done is to wrap two pieces of unslaked lime in wet cloths, put them on plates and lay them on each side of the patient. AUBURN BEAUTY-SIX 7-R.
