Purdue Sponsors Project Average Worker's Living Aim of Building Experiment Under Way at Lafayette, Ind., Determine Best Home in $5,000 Range !"""""" K(SM'':'H ' Wood nd mcco enu-bnngalow typejl J5 i-Aikli t VZ..3 By MAURICE MERRYFIELD Internatwr.cl Illustrated Sews Feature Writer Lafayette, Ind., January 24. Pur due university now has under con struction a low-cost housing project a "test tube village" designed to bring better homes within the finan cial means cf the average wage earn er cf the nation. Each of the houses comprising the first unit of this building program is limited in cost to 5 5.000 and is de signed for a family of four. Uni versity faculty members and their families will occupy the homes which are of various types of material and construction in order to give spon sors of the project a comparative idea cf the value of the different types of construction. Research has shown that approxi mately two-thirds of the families in the United States have incomes of less than $2,000 a year. Wage earn ers in this class cannot afford to own or rent homes costing more than five thousand dollars. It is to meet the needs of this class that Purdue has sponsored the housing project which Need Federal Protection for Women W orkers Necessity for This Due to the De struction of the NRA, It Is Pointed Out in Report. It is a duty of the federal govern ment to see that women workers are safeguarded, Miss Mary Anderson, di rector cf the Women's Bureau, point ed out in her annual report to Sec retary cf Labor Frances Perkins just ents!de public. "Since NRA codes are no longer in effect, the responsibility of the Women's Bureau has increased," Miss lAnderson reported. "The need to i safeguard women wage earners is I particularly imperative." Exploita- tion or them is a detriment not only" themselves and their families, but 'to American industrial standards, the . , . . . i return of Americas prosperity and 1 ine ucmiu ja i-ickui mtm b-.. erations." Since state labor legislation and state enforcement of standards have become of such increased importance, a very definite extension of the bu reau's consulting service to the states .ha3 teen carried on, Miss An- derson etated. This is particularly true in regard to the question of minimum wage in view of the fact that the president called on the states to pass such laws, and state i requests for assistance from the bu reau i nthis field have been coming !in, and are likely to increase in num- l ber. Similarly, the industrial home work situation in all its various phases has required careful atten tion from the bureau and wull con tinue to do so, she reported. An important part of the bureau's program during the year has been a I continued, it was advised. In her report Miss Anderson also J 1 3& i.' ..'..Z. -:i.i is under direction of Franh Watson. Various Materials Used One home, contracted for at $4,997, is of reinforced concrete. Another will be of wood frame and stucco to be built at a final cost of $4,681. Another type, estimated to cost the sum of $4,236, will be of prefabri cated plywood units, while several will be of insulated all-steel con struction. Two channels offer possibility of substantial reductions in future building costs. Experiments now un der way in respect to pre-fabricated houses may bring costs of materials down considerably. Thi3 type of house also lessens the amount of la bor required for construction and should effect an economy in respect to the comparatively high item of labor. Mcst of the designs submitted for the Purdue project specify a com bined living room and dining room. All plans include garage and several have air conditioning provisions. Nine houses comprise the first unit of the project which is being built on a 143-acre tract adjacent to the :. : .V.-.. .. 1 Reinforced concrete heme - ' lmmwm Inflated ll-tteel houi f , r emphasizes the increasing share of women in family support and the need to collect definite data on this subject. Of the ten and three-quarter million women employed in this country, according to the 1930 cen sus, more than three million were wage-earning home makers in fam ilies. Almost 500,000 home makers were the sole breadwinners in fam ilies of 2 or more pert-ons, and about half of these were in families of 3 or more members. A survey cf women in certain phases of agricultural labor and the canning of fruits and vegetables, and a study of posture and seating in women's industries are among the activities planned for the near fu ture. Completed during the year wa3 a study of employment of women un der the NRA codes. Other outstand ing etudies have dealt with leplace ment and displacement of workers i technological changes; wage var- jiations; office workers; employment in beauty stops; fluctuation or em ployment; health and safety; all from' the viewpoint of women wage tarn ers. FRAZIER ACT IS UPHELD Kansas City, Mo. The amended Frazier-Lemke farm moratorium law was declared constitutional by Judge Merrill E. Otis of federal district court. The opinion followed a motion by the Phoenix Mutal Life Insurance company to dismiss a petition of Al bert D .Bennett, Kingston, Mo., farmer, who sought a moratorium on a $9,500 deed of trust held by the company on hi3 farm. "The broad power of congress con cerning bankruptcies," Otis wrote, "is sufficient tb uphold the present act provided it does not contravene the due rrocess clause of the fifth amendment. I do not consider that it can be said beyond a reasonable doubt that the present substantially impairs the creditor's security.' See the goods you buy. Catalog descriptions are flowery enough, but how about the good3 when you get them? to Better Conditions is to 2 campus. A central disposal plant will service the community, electric lines will be under ground and a deep well furnishes the water supply for the village. Test Endurance of Materials In cne sense, "the test tube vil lage" will serve as a housing labora tory. Materials will be tested to de termine their resistance to weather. Various features of the different ar chitectural designs will be subjected to the judgmen tof the occupants as to their practical nature. Dr. E. C. Elliott, president of Pur due university, in commenting on the project, said: "Only through scientific study can the mapority of our people ever hope to be able to live in houses that they want, houses they can afford to have, houses that will last." The guiding principle of those directing the project has been to eliminate some of the luxuries, such as automatic stokers, separate dining room and other similar conveniences, in order to devote that money to in suring the basic soundness of con struction. ' rt SEEKS HOME FOR LAD OF 13 Fremont, Seb. An undernourish ed, 13-year-old boy was held in the county jail while District Judge Spear attempted to find a home for him. He has appealed for someone to adopt the youth, so that he will not jhave to be sent to the state industrial school. One of ten children, the lad was brought into coari cecause nis mother said he was "out of control." The only thing the judge could find wrong with the youth wa3 that he was underfed and improperly clothed. Judge Spear wants someone to adopt him to rave him from a criminal career. Cut Busheiage on Cora Loans Poor Quality of the 1S35 Crop Said to Ee the Reason ; Cash Amount Is Same. Two hundred corn loan Inspectors In Nebraska were instructed Friday to figure busheiage of corn in cribs on the basis of three cubic feet per bushel instead of two and one-half cubic feet. The change was effective Friday. Loans will continue to be made on the basis of 4 5 cents a bushel, but the effect will be to reduce by about 15 per cent the money loaned on corn in crios. The change in policy was ordered Thursday by the Federal Commodity Credit corporation at Washington, due to the comparatively poor quality of the 1935 corn crop. Say Estimate Conservative. Samples of the crop were shown loan inspectors at a meeting in Om aha on December 9. Many cobs were only half-filled with kernels, and the kernels were smaller than normal. Agricultural college experts said some of this would require five cubic feet to shell out a bushel. High quality corn will shell out an average of about one tmsnei ior every 2 cubic feet, it was said. Most Aplications In. Most Nebraska farmers who seek corn loans already have filed applica tions and had their cribs inspected on the eld basis, the commission an nounced. Applications have dropped from a peak of about three hundred a day to about 25 a day. About 3,500 applications are now on file. March 1 is the deadline for filing applications. Private bankers are do ing probably 75 per cent of the lend ing, Herbert Daniel, agent of the Commodity Credit corporation for Nebraska, estimates. KIDNAPER GETS 25 YEARS Omaha. Harold Harpln, 42, of Texas, was sentenced by Federal Judge Donohoe to serve twenty-five years in Leavenworth federal peni tentiary on charges of kidnaping Sheriff Herman Bredenstein and De puty Sheriff Dean S. James of Nish- nabotna, Mo. Harpin was sentenced to serve twenty-five years on each of two kidnaping charges and five years on a charge of auto theft, but Judge Donohoe ruled the sentences should run concurrently. Federal officers said Harpin and Joe Hanley, also of Texas, kidnaped Bredenstein and James at Nishna botna and drove them thru Nebraska to a point near Sioux City, la., where the officers were released unharmed. Hanley and Harpin were arrested at Corpus Christi, Tex. Hanley was re turned to Sioux City to face a charge of robbing a bank messenger. He broke jail there and is still free. DOCTOJTCKNOV Mothers read this: THREE STEPS TO iEUEYlXa ICCBSnrATTBl A cleansing dose today; a smaller quantity tomorrow; less each time, until bowels need no help at alL Why do people come home from a hospital with bowels working like a well-regulated watch? The answer is simple, and its the answer to all your bowel worries if you will only realize it: many doctors and hospitals use a liquid laxative. If you knew what a doctor knows, you would use only the liquid form. A liquid can always be taken in gradually reduced doses. Reduced dosage is the secret of any real relief from constipation. Ask a doctor about this. Ask your druggist how very popular liquid laxatives have become. They give the right kind of help, and right amount cf help. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara both natural laxatives that can form no habit, even in children. So, try Syrup Pepsin. You just take regulated dates till Nature restores regularity. .r-' -w M mm , SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF MRS.
