E DON'T know whether Seattle ix going to ever have enough homes for the hameless, but cer- tainly it will not be on acocunt of lack of new houses Houses for folks and houses for automobiles. There are new garages going wp by the dozen these days, In deed, there is enough additional Barage room under construction right now to accommodate more @utos than the town owned a few years ago. But folks are fast as the factories can turn them out, and probably the street‘stand ing, dew-gathering, deserted auto Will be with us all winter, As for houses—in one district, in buying autos as ‘University, there are $00 houses under construction. And this we notice—the new ones are mighty nifty They have the most modern con veniences. They are small, they are compact, they have real design and pleasing lines and colors. They are not built of as good ma terials as they were. ‘They don't bave a lot of waste space. The servants’ quarters are being Jeft out of even the finer ones, but they are artistic. convenient, and only cost ABOUT ONE-THIRD _ MORE TO BUILD THAN THEY _ DID THREE MONTHS AGO.

We had a number of girl car riers during the war period, but they have mostly disappeared, Still, we saw one the other day, making the downtown rounds, She was a good six feet in her stocking--that is—er—she was a right tallish damsel. And she had the length of limb, and the breadth of shoulder, and the youthful vigor that we fancy the consorts of the Norsemen had. And her pouch was crammed full of heavy magazine mail and package stuff, and she was cer- tainty making her rounds with speed and good spirits. But it seems a shame to waste a regular Brunhilda goddess sort of a, girl on that sort of a chore. see FEW years . when they started to build on one of those small Seat- tle mountains, they re- quired an army of men and a few score teams, and weeks and weeks of work, to make room; and weeks of more slow, costly ef. fort to dig a basement. ng ed Up on Sixth ave. and Columbia st., they are getting ready for a big building, and they are tearing down a young Alp that would pro- vide several fleets with ballast And they are toting that dirt away almost as fast as nature put it together.
