I i $880,052,005 IN NEW HOUSING FOR 162,000 FAMILIES Builders Through Country Put 37 Per Cent, of Year's Outlays Into Homes. i New liomca for 162,000 families were built or started throughout the Nation during tho past year. This is apparent from final vcrlfled statistics of building' operations as leported y from the correspon- dent of F. W. Dodge Company, show- ing total contracts of $2,J59,018.0D0 In twenty-seve- n Northeastern 3tates, thus verifying a round estimate of $2,500,000,000 for tho cntlro country a .published in Tho Evening World a month ago. Residential contracts took $880,052,000, or 37 per cent. Tho averago for housing each fam-Jl- y was clos.0 to $5,500. The entire outlay for homes was 54 per cent, larger than that of 1920. Public works and utilities came 'second In volume $459,184,000, or 19 per cent. Business buildings took $386,920,000, or 14 per cent.; educa- tional, $242,562,000, or 10 per cent.: industrial. $173,325,000, or 7 per cent. Contemplated projects carried over into tho new year seem to promise an even larger volume for 1922. Hous- ing needs are still acute, nnd tho widespread reaction in general busi- ness la leaving huge masses of capi- tal unemployed. This, It Is believed, will soon find building tho most avail- able and profitable field, and there Is enough of it to restore housing facili- ties to a comfortable, normal surplus In all sections. In fact, many eco- nomic experts think building opera- tions will bo the only logical Invest- ment for tho great bulk of such ldlo funds during tho next few years. If this view Is correct, it would re- sult naturally In the final deflation of real estate from congested war levels which means a gradual drop of a possiblo 00 per dent, in rentals of all kinds as a reaction to tho huge inflow of money at lower Interest rates and the restoration to normal of the rent Items in living costs. This movement has been awaited anxiously both by labor and tho employers of labor, In order that wages may more Kafely bo lowered to a polrit at which big business In, thi3 country could try again to compete in tho world's mar in JJy V.

Jan. 14. Gov. Miller has replied by letter to the charge of Mur- ray Hulbert, President of tho Board of Aldermen of New York City, that he was unfairly treated In the Gover- nor's message on tho Port Mr. Hulbert that he had signed the report of tho to only so far as It a plan for tho of tho Port of Now York, which did not Include a compact be- tween the States of Now York and New Jersey. letter to Mr. Hulbert reads In part: \My authority for making that statement was Part 1 of the report of the dated Dec. 16, 1920, being a summary of joint report with plan and recommendations signed by each ono of the members of the including yourself. I quote from page 25 ot that summary as follows: \ 'In other words, the port did not function In time of war nor could it do So efficiently until an adequate port authority was established. The commission again the ne- cessity for such authority and for the adoption of tho compact between tho States of New York and New Jersey which will make possiblo its creation. Such an Instrumentality will meet the commercial needs in times of pence and will assist tho Federal au- thorities in giving proper protection In times of war.' \ New Makes Wonderful Strides Beauty and Business, Says Visiting Scotch Woolen Knickers for Women Common in West.

Thomas ot Detroit, at the Commodore. \But from now on. automobllo men will have a circuit which Is somewhat similar to that of a circus, until the end of March. \On the 14th the show opens In Buf- falo, and at the same time another will be going on In Tulsa, Okl.i., and Oakland, Cal., Milwaukee, Detroit, Portland, Ore., and Chicago will havo theirs also this month, and during February, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Win- nipeg, Kan Francisco and Dea Moines will welcome tho dealers. In March, Brooklyn. Boston, Springfield. Mass.. and Newark are scheduled for ex hibits, and during the same month, Santiago, Cuba, will have its show. The longest trip which American ex hibitors must take will be in Scptem her, when there will be flercocompeti-tlo- n at the exhibition at Rio de Jan- - iero. KNICKERS NO NOVELTY. \Knickerbockers for women seem to be occupying tho attention of New York newspapers just now.\ said Louis Maxwell of Los Angeles nt the Commodore yes- terday. \Really I cannot under- stand why such a largo city should get so thoroughly ruffled over who wear knee pants. Out in California, New Mexico, Arizoni and other Western States, tho women folk arc wearing knickerbockers, and no ono pays any attention to them. At the (Jrand Canyon in Arizona there is a lookout Government house where a woman employed by Washington keeps a sharp watch for forest Arcs. She weara knickerbockers. I think it's 't sensible attire.\ FARTHEST FROM HOME.

THE EVENING- - WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922. $75,000 Masonic Lodge Temple Entirely Built by Its Members Townley's Handsome Struc- ture in Palisades Park Erected Without Outside Assistance. The Masons of Townlcy Lodgo of Palisades Park, N, J., havo demon- strated In no uncertain fashion that they aro not only Masons but build- ers. For by their own efforts alone, from tho moment that the first of them drovo a pick into tho ground until tho last stepped back to wipe the perspiration from his brow and gaze at tho completed work, tho members of tho loago built and equipped their $76,000 temple. It la now one of the most distinguishable looking structures In that part of tho State. Tho lodge, which received its char- ter in May, 1921, almost a year after It was instituted, had collected a fund of $25,000 in cas!, and sufficient pledges to insure tho erection of tho temple. Tho ground for It was donated by Robert Todd, Master of tho lodgo and Mayor of the town, but It was realized that with tho cost of labor and materials where they aro now. tho available resources would not permit the erection of a very Im- posing structure. So that wa3 when tho members de- cided to do tho work themselves from beginning to end. Tho lodgo, which has a membership of 150, was can- vassed for nrtlsans and enough wero discovered to Insure tho carrying out of tho ambitious plan. Dr. J. M. Hackett got tho shovellers busy, und to encourago them their wives plied them with cooling drinks and, per- haps, advice. Dr. J. S. Van Dyke in time became foreman of tho vo- lunteer carpenters, and thoso not used to saws and hammers carried lumber IN PRICES OF WILLYS PRODUCTS.
