B NEW HOMES, It is satisfactory to keep watch of the new buildings being put up, where pleasant homes may be found, In the report for the month of April 185 building permits were issued for building operations totalling $575,000. But it is not in the total sum to which these permits amount that we are especially interested at this time. It is in the evidence con- stantly coming that the need for more homes, apartments and I«-%rmvuu of all sorts, is being recognized, and the value of investment in them secen. | There 109 frame buildings planned for, 20 brick buildings and 56 alteration jobs, And during the: month 124 tenements were added, | This is the portion of the report| that We have | passed through a long period—-and we ! are still in it for that matter—when it has been practically impossible tu‘; find anything like the sort of tene-| ment, apartment or “rent” that suits| us “down to the ground.” The ficld from which to choofe has been ex- tremely imited, We have been com- paratively satisfied to find a place which will give us a solid roof n\'er‘ our heads, and few have had the feel-| ing that they were settled down in a place which would become, after a time, really “home.” | The pressing need, of course, is for | even these places to live where people | coming here at the of 10,000 every four years, may be m-r-nmmo-l‘ dated. But there 1s a far greater | need than that, and It goes to the| foundations of our methods of lving. | The complaint of the day, made by | earnest students of social conditions, | I8 that “the home” is having less and leas influence on the young people. The idea of going home only when| there is no other spot to make their| goal Is, apparently, more prevalent than ever before, One father recent- ly purchased a radio set and Inn-nm: it In the home so that his on‘sprhvg,{ of the “younger set,” would be tempt- | ed to remain there at least once in a | while in the evening. And it worked, | As long as the home is forgotten— and It seems to be a less important place than it used to be—home in-| fluence will amount to little, It is] generally acknowledged that such in- | fluence is better than that of places . Where quite different sort of atmos- phere prevails. We need, after tem- porary dwelling places have been pro- vided to meet the moment’s necessity, to have the country filled with the #ort of buildings that may he made real homes, having about them some of the old-fashioned attractiveness which is never forgotten those whose ehildhood was spent in one of | them. The dwellings themselves may The Werald some were inspires comment, rate by have all the modern improvements, of course, and should have.

As indicated in| these columns some* fime e | Herald did not approve the action of the House of Ilepresentatives in vot- ing: $10,000,000 for German relief, Collier's for May 10, has the follow- | ing to say on the subject, editorial heading “The ‘Bonus is a I'raud"; Among members of Congress who know the underlying motives the proposal that this Gov- ernment contribute $10,000,000 to the supposedly starving Ger- mans is cynically known as “the German bonus,” Germany is not foodstufis, and many congress- men know it. Those who oppose the appropriation say it is de- signed for political effect in that it will stimulate the grain mar- kets of the disaffected West, and also please the German-American vote, It is a fraud on the taxpayers, a $10,000,000 fraud, to help cer- tain congressmen get votes in No- vember, The appropriation has been granted by the House and nowW*lies in the Senate, where it should be stopped. While the House was granting this "German bonus,” the Ger- man farmers, millers, and flour merchants were petitioning their Government for relief from the ruinous importation of flour, They “demanded an import tax on the ground that they could not com- pete with the influx of foreign breadstufls. This is disclosed in a Department of Agriculture re- port on foreign crops. The German bonus is not sup- ported by Hoever, the President, or any Cabinet officdr. It is not on the same footing with the Russian relief bill passed three years ago. It is apparently a pri- vate politieal privateering ven- ture, If is a hangover from the war charities when the idea took such strong root that w¢ as a government were responsible for all the hunger and privation in foreign countries, All the pres- ent trustworthy reports agree that the situation In Germany is not beyond remedy by the Gere man people themselves, If there is any real suffering in Germany, it is not due to lack of food, but to incompetent admin- istration or poor distribution, The Senate know the facts, Let it answer Maximillian Harden's question. He\is a German, and he asksie “Why should America help? Germany is literally cram- med with food.” stances, do more ago, under the | Germap | in want of FACT AND FUN, 1t is not in criticism of the tanners or any other body of men or women in convention assembled, to note that unconsciously they | complain about new pabits, as habits, | which, incidentally, injure their busi- Hairdressers, for Instance, who do not have, probably as many ealls from bobbed-haired women and girls | to dress their hair as they have from women with long tresses, insist that | bobbing the hair frequently is bad | for the hair.
