Straus in Comment on Building Situation. A shortage of homes, which is continually becoming more acute, constitutes the outstanding feature of the present building situation. Preliminary statistics for the first seven months of the current year indicate that less than 20 percent of the money spent the nation's building program was for residential structures, while normally about one-third of the building outlay, goes into homes of various types. "The constantly increasing shortage of dwellings offers one of our gravest problems," remarked S. Straus yesterday in discussing housing problems.
"Overcrowded living conditions, accompanied by constantly increasing rents, are bound to result in lower standards of living and continued social unrest. In solving the problems of the present period of readjustment it would seem that the first and most important step is to find means of bringing about improved housing conditions. It will take a long period of years to restore the correct balance between supply and demand, and everything possible should be done as a start in this direction. "Judging from current statistics, legislative efforts that have been made to help the situation have not generally resulted favorably for it is apparent that a great deal of capital is being diverted from residential types of construction to business buildings. These problems should be given close study by the people.
Capital, labor and material are the three prime essentials, and our building. problems should be studied with a view of preventing diversion of any or all of these elements from home construction to other forms of building activity. "There is at present a world-wide likely that there is a some connection shortage or homes and it is not unbetween this condition and the general unrest, underproduction and lack of thrift that exists. In our own country housing facilities have been growing more inadequate for the four years, 70,000 homes year, were alLast for example, only though the shortage at that time amounted to half a million houses. "With the 1920 building season now more than one-half gone, it is not expected that marked improvement can be made this year.
Every process of education and enlightenment should be put in force immediately to the end that the significance of the present serious condition shall become thoroughly understood by the people. A campaign of education on the fundamentals of the building situation is one of the great needs in America day." Woodcleft Home Flourishes. Freeport, L. July 31-The second group of 125 girls left the Woodcleft Fresh Air Home, Friday, after a 12 days' vacation, and in the afternoon 125 boys from 17 churches and settlement houses left for their share of a summer vacation.

London, July Davis was given a most solemn and seriof his return States. ous "godspeed" by the American Luncheon Club on the a eve yesterday, During six months' residence in London I have never attended a public function over which there hung such clouds of anxiety and concern as over that meeting.
Only two men spokeLord Birkenhead (the Lord Chancellor) and Ambassador Davis-but the subject matter, tone, and emphasis of their remarks were decidedly foreboding. It seemed as both men spoke that the Polish- Russian crisis hung heavily upon the minds of officials. "The same voice which rang out during the early days of the war," said Mr. Davis, "is again calling upon us for equal exertion." In these grave days of reconstruction, Mr. Davis added, he echoed the sentiment expressed by Premier Lloyd George last Wednesday that "this war-torn Euagain calling for the help and assistance of the America of Abraham Lincoln." "Do us blind ourselves to the gravity of the European situation," said Lord Birkenhead, adding that "if the strength of all the nations could have been employed harmoniously" Europe would never have experienced the conditions of today.
He said a further that England and America would have to "maintain the fabric of civilization. They and they alone with us have to cope with the social, economic and revolutionary consequences of today." The luncheon was attended by a large number of prominent British and American public men and business leaders, including the Lord Mayor, Viscount Astor, the Ambassadors from Belgium, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, Justice Brandeis, Martin Vogel, James M. Beck, Lord Asquith and others equally distinguished.

Brooklyn has a candidate for the Hall of Fame, the fifth quinquennial elections to which will be held at the and of this summer. Clinton H. Hunt of 80 Kingston ave. has submitted for the consideration of the electors the name of his great-grandfather, Walter Hunt, inventor of the first practical sewing machine. Twenty spaces in the colonnade called the HaH of Fame, which is one of the buildings of New York University at Washington Heights, Manhattan, are waiting to be filled with bronze tablets bearing the names of a like number of famous Americans.
The name of Walter Hunt is one of the names of inventors that have suggested for the actions of the electors. There are 215 names in all set before the group of I prominent Americans whose votes will result in the filling of the 20 niches. Walter Hunt was born in Martinsburg. N. July 29, 1796, and died in Manhattan, June 8, 1859.
During his life he invented a great number of things, among them the sewing machine, safety pins, a fountain pen, metallic cartridges and breechloading firearms adapted to them down" upon machine the for ceiling. walking upside The First Sewing Machine. It was in 1834-35 that he devised the 1 first sewing machine. Men before him had tried to construct sewing machines, but none of them had met with success. He solved the riddle by devising a machine with an eye in the point of the needle and a shuttle.
But Mr. Hunt, first in the field with a practical machine, was, nevertheless, not the man who reaped the profits from the invention. They went to Elias Howe who ten years later secured a patent on a machine in principle exactly like Hunt's. When Howe's right were contested in court a decision was handed down against Hunt, on the ground that his contrivance, though it antedated that of Howe's, had been lying in abeyance so long that Howe's affair, which was first pushed to public notice, should have the preference. "Hunt reaped none of the enormous reward which has been shared among the introducers of the sewing says one authority, "and it is all the more necessary that his great merit as an inventor be insisted He constructed a machine having a vibrating arm, at the extremity of which he fixed a curved needle with an eye near its point.
By this needle a loop of thread was formed under the cloth to be sewn, and through that loop a thread, carried in an oscillating shuttle, was passed, thus making the lockstitch of all ordinary two-thread machines. Hunt's invention was purchased by a blacksmith named Arrowsmith, and a good deal was done toward improving its mechanical details, but no patent was sought, nor was any serious attempt made to draw attention to the invention. After his two the success of machines based on devices was fully established, Hunt, in 1853, applied for a patent, but his claim was disallowed on the ground of abandonment. It is calculated that Howe received in the form of royalties on machines used up to the period of the expiry of his extended patent, a sum not less than $2,000,000. Several thousands of patents have since been issued covering improvements in the machine, but the main principles remain those evolved by Hunt.
Hunt worked out the details of his first machine in his own workshop in Amos Manhattan, and it with his own hands. Many witnesses testifled that they saw the machine in successful operation in 1834. Died a Poor Man. Howe died very rich man. Hunt died poor, after seeing fortunes made by others from what he had invented and Howe had patented.
Today the two men rest side by side, in Greenwood Cemetery. In 1826 Walter Hunt and Elias Hoskins had perfected a valuable machine for spinning flax and a joint patent was issued by the Patent Office signed by John Quincy Adams, President of the United States; H. Clay, Secretary of State, and William Wirt, Attorney General. A second patent was issued in 1829 to Hunt for a knife sharpener combined with a domestic guard which is still in use. In 1829 he invented alarm gongs, in 1831 a self-supplying twisting machine and in 1833 a globe stove.
All these inventions came before he worked out his idea for the sewing machine. He gave his whole attention to perfecting his ideas and was so wrapped up in them that he neglected the business end of his inventions, with the result that comparatively few of his ingenious now associated with his name. Many other inventions followed the sewing machine. Some thirty of them were patented. One of his inventions was the paper collar.
At one time there were as many as 40 firms manufacturing them in the United States and the output in 1868 amounted to about 400,000,000 collars. The collar was first put on sale in New York in 1854, being used at that paper time chiefly for stage purposes. Another of his inventions was an "Antipodian Inverted Walking Machine" for use in walking upside down on a polished ceiling. It was first exhibited in Sand's Circus. Other products of his ingenuity were concrete or moulded stone (with which a building was erected on.
W. 10th velocipedes (not the type perfected by the French), an ice-cutter or plow, springs for suspenders, gymnastic belts, se inkstands, hollow conoidal rifle bullets, wooden cartridges, cloth collars, repeating pistols and elongated priming used during Civil War, kerosene safety lamp and metallic boot heels. The Sewing Machine Times of June, 1875, says that he patented the fountain pen in 1847, "an ingenious appliance which has not met with the popularity it deserves." Peruvian Club Dinner.
