N this present day when peace is hovering over the world, with I all the questions of reconstructions and read justments to be set tled, among the all important problems facing the country is the one of industrial housing.

A sporadic movement for better homes for working men started some years ago. Port Sunlight, England, may be hailed as a pioneer and recently here and there in the United States employers of large numbers of men, reading the signs of the times, animated in part by a philanthropic spirit, and influenced by the economic side of the situation, have in stituted small colonies for housing their help, near their industrial plants.
