C.—The lowest rents for decent modem homes reached in this country have been achieved in some of the first hous ing projects nearing completion by local authorities with the aid of the United States Housing Au thority. This fact was revealed today by Nathan Straus, USHA Administrator, in announcing the rent schedules actually set by the local authorities of Austin, Tex as; Jacksonville, Florida; Buffalo, New York; and New York City. “With an average shelter rent of $6.59 monthly for a family dwel ling, Austin has set a record,” Mr. Straus said. Higher costs for materials, labor and maintenance in the other three cities compel rents higher than this unbelieva bly low figure. Yet in all of them the rentg for the well-built new homes are actually lower than the average rents now paid for slum LOLONbL HUSH_ / THOUG11TEUL_&y SCHEEL rjTTTOlf PATfTOC" *y C. m AST WEEK.

Mr. Straus pointed out that these low rents mean that the local au thorities participating in the US HA program will actually rehouse low-income families not compelled to live in slums. He said that the projects will serve families with average annual incomes estimated as follows: Austin, $400, with some as low as $300; Jacksonville, $750, with some as low as $500; tho project for white families in Buffalo, $850, with some as low as $000; and the Negro project in Buffalo, $750, with some as low as $600; New York, $950, with some as low' as $700 . "Private capital cannot provide new housing for income groups much below the $1,750 class,” said Mr. Strauss. "These figures re veal how far from competing with private capital is the USHA pro gram. Only those families living in slums and definitely substan dard housing and having insuffic ient income to pay for docent hous ing ai eligible for projects t. It with USHA ail." Under its pr.sertt program Ld re house 160,000 low-income families, the USHA lend local authorities 90 per cent of the total develop ment; cost of approved projects. To bring rents within the rech of low-income families, the Authori ty make9 an anual grant and the local authority supplements this with an annual grant, usually in the form of tax exemption. -—oOo ('thoughts of i FAMOUS \ AUTHORS \ at nr* -—J The language of friends Is not words but meanings.

It is designed to take care of (the two major hazards of life; i. e-> either you will not live long enough or you will live too long.” It’s easy to poslbpone buying life insurance—anyone can have a lot (more fun witlh money than paying premiums. But there's nP fun in waking iup some morning with /the knowledge that it’s too > late to obtain adequate insurance protection—and to face a depend ent old age. ^Scratching //RELIEVE ITCHING SKIN Qvtck/y Even the most stubborn itching of ocmmat blotches, piinptes, athlete’s foot, rashes a»<l other externals caused skin eruptions, quickly yields to pure, cooling, antiseptic, liquid D.O.D.
