NCE upon a time machinery, trade union rules, O's building material rings and mortgage money had little or no part in putting up American homes. When one of the young men married a village girl, the neighbors had a way of meeting the hous- ing problem. They gathered for a “house- raising bee.” The happy bridegroom had big logs ready and waiting. The whole crowd. of neighbors got to- gether and worked with a will, exerting their com- bined strength and skill. By nightfall the log ¢ abin was almost ready for occupancy. | It isn’t so simple to-day. That is why housing is such a problem. But men, money and material are as essential as ever, even if they are in different forms. Samuel Untermyer’s housing scheme is the near- est thing to an old-fashioned house raising that has appeared hereabout in a century. The particular similarity lies in the spirit of neighborliness, ac- commodation and unselfishness that is showing through. Men are willing to work overtime. is willing to fix maximum rentals.

The group of inquirers are of them admit it. We suggest a Gupieosennary volume by another They can ‘fntellectuals.” Most answer. They know.

The chapter on “The Intellectual Life’ we have left blank. We are inclined to reassign it to the same author as in the inquiry volume, Harold E. Stearns. Engineer Mayor Hylan wants the citizens to “get out of their homes and offices as they did on Ar- mistice Day a few years ago.” Well, why not have an armistice with the Transit Commission and Port Authority and give reason for a celebration? ALASKA. HERE is much news in the report of Scott C, Bone, Territorial Governor of Alaska, for 1924, just received from the Government printing office. The tiative population of Alaska thanks to bet- ter sanitation and plenty of reindeer for food, i not decreasing but stands at 27,000. The loss is in the whites, who have dropped 10,000 in ihe last decade to about the same number as the and show no signs of coming back The new $50,000,000 Governme finished at both ends, but noi in the middl native | | is not very valuable for transport purposes. territory has much government and no tit place to house it in. Numerous bureaus with fin- gers in.the fire operate expensively from Washing- ton, each with an annual junketing trip to its credit and nothing else. The reindeer, from a few head imported from Lapland several decades ago, now number 210,000. The fur seals now total 552,000, but last year only | 14,852 skins were sold, bringing $1,707,071. | Uncle Sam took the pelts of 901 blue and thirty- | seven white foxes, on his Pribilof Islands. The | herds on St. Paul and St. George Islands produced | 1,125 blue and fourteen white skins. The whites are being exterminated to perfect the blueness of the blue. The report shows a decline in all industries due, Gov,. Bone intimates, to governmental incapacity, high ‘freight rates and lack of population. He proved that Alaska is no Golder than any other place and | warmer than many. It is big enough for States when properly developed and cah raise the grain to feed itself.

F THE people of the United States fail to take an interest in their national finances, who else going to worry about them? Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has produced figures which, if they stood for the affairs of any private corporation, would make the stockholders of that corporation sit up and think hard. Who are the stockholders of the United States?
