Phildelphia, Sept. 26—(ANP)— Where do colored people live in Phildelphia? In what kind of hous es ? And what living facilities do they enjoy? These and similar questions can now be answered since the completion of a close and comprehensive study of colored housing made under the supervi sion of Adolph Siegrast, superin tendent, Phildelphia Real Proper-, ty Survey. The data, made public through John H. Rankin, director of Dis triots 4 and 5, Works Progress Administration, were obtained dur ing a recent city-wide Real Pro perty Survey under the Civil Works Administration and further studies are being made under the sponsorship of Thomas A. Logue, secretary, Internal Affairs of the Commonwealth of Pa. Figrues Reveal Poor Houses Structures occupied by colored people—47,884 in total—are main ly of single-family type—83.8 per! cent; and 90.0 per cent of their dwellings are row houses. Colored people occupy 2,721 structures of the store-and-dwelling type—which miake up 4.7 per cent of their structures containing four or more household dwelling units. One of the most significant tabl es of the data is that covering ape of structures. Of the total number of houses less than 10 years old,1 47,432 of these newer structure frere occupied by whites, but onl> j 634 by colored—or 1.3 per cent. As the table mounts into the older ape groups, colored occupancy pains in percentage—reaching 42.2 percent for buildings 100-years okl or over—-of which 2,227 are occupied by colored people. Per-, haps the most telling comparison in this connection is found in the mediam apes for white and colored housing, which are 32.7 years for white and 52.7 for colored. Less Than One-Third Colored Houses in “Good” Condition It is also significant that leiss than a third of the colored houses were found in “good” condition and almost half of them needed repairs. Of the vacant housing in neighborhoods, 3,390 of the struc tures were unsuitable for use. Rented houses unsuitable for use numbered 7,215. No. Water, Heat, or Bathrooms As regards living facilities the data for colored housing shows 855 structores not equipped with heating apartus, and the percent age of houses having no running water either in the house or yard is 1.2 per cent while the city fig ure is 0.4 per cent. Dwellings with out bathrooms number 9.3 per cent for the entire city, while for color ed housing the figure is 21.1 per cent, this percentage being -about the same for bathtubs and showers. As regard# gas 'and electric in stallations, lack of these facilities is greater in the colored dwellings and the percentages for houses having no indoor water closets, are 7.5 Iper cent for the city and 19.6 per cent for colored buildings.

Women who wear short-sleeved summer frocks or sleeveless even ing gowns sometimes neglect their unattractive elbows, which detract from the well-groomed appearance every woman should have. Even when a wealth of attention is lav ished on the hair, the complexion and the hands, no woman can look her best if household tasks have left her elbows reddened, chapped or calloused. Its easy to keep our elbows look ing slim ‘and attractive if we will give them the same consideration we give our hands or fingernails. Don’t acquire tho habit of lean ing on the elbows everytimo you sit down. This is the chief cause of many enlarged unattractive el bows. Watch for this tendency in yourself, -and if you find that you frequently sit with your chin cup ped in your hands and your elbow rotating on the table or chair-arm, break yourself of the habit The appearance of the elbows can be improved considerably by messaging them with a beauty cream, or with olive oil.
