FOR GIRLSIS ACUTE
Women Students' Housing
Problem Is Still Unsolved
Despite Efforts.
HOUSES FOR SALE
Requests From All Over the
State Cannot Be Filled,
Says Miss Dobbs.
The question of housing girl stu
dents in the University for the next
term is becoming more serious each
day. With the large registration of
women that seems to be inevitable for
the fall term, the situation appears at
present to be grave, and possibilities
for its Improvement not jet discerni
ble. Miss Ella V. Dobbs, acting adviser
of women, said today that letters are
coming to her from all parts of the
state, asking for rooms for the next
term. Yesterday morning, alone, she
received six such Inquiries, and the
day before a similar number of calls,
none of which she can answer satis
factorily, for she has no lists of rooms
available.
She sajs that at present, she is
working on rooming and boarding
house lists, but that it is still impor
tant that all women who Intend to
Veep either roomers or boarders for
the next year, hand in their lists as
soon as possible.
Houses Held Until Aufust L
It is true that In Columbia many
houses are for sale, and the owners
refuse to rent rooms for fear a possi
ble sale might be thwarted. Most of
these houses will be for sale until Au
gust 1 and if not sold by that time,
the owners will rent the rooms indi
vidually. It is hoped then, Miss Dobbs
said, that the intensity of the housing
problem will be, to a certain extent,
relieved.
The Y.W.C-A. Is working hard to
find rooms for girls, especially fresh
men, but despite the plea It made two
weeks ago, that lists of vacant rooms
be filed immediately, the response has
been poor, and today the organization
is in no better position to help the
girls who are seeking rooms, than It
was at that time.
Mrs. J. T. Rosa, who has had charge
of the Practice House of the depart
ment of home economics, has some
statistics on co-operative housing and
offers her assistance to any girls in
terested in such a plan as a solution
for the scarcity of rooms.
Co-operative Housing Suggested.
Co-operative housing is of two
kinds, that for girls alone, and the
other for families. The latter, Mrs.
Rosa thinks is the more difficult, since
few families are altruistic enough to
live co-operaUvely.
The problem for girls is more sim
ple, she says, but much loyalty and
caution is necessary. Particularly, the
girl who has the responsibility for
managing the affair must be permit
ted to exercise authority and keep the
respect of the girls.
At first, the question of furnishing
the house is an important one, but It
is possible, in Columbia, to rent hous
es already furnished; hence the ini
tial cost. Is done away with. The
girls can do most of the work them
selves, and labor cost can be a small
Item. Light and heat have proved.
In the houses studied, the greatest
sum, aside from the cost of food. The
chaperon ought to receive her room
rent free, but a salary, or board, is not
necessary.
An interesUng budget Is that of the
Practice House, for last May. Mrs.
losa suggests that an average of $10
a month, for each month In the year,
be set aside for the cost of heat
There were ten persons In the Prac
Uce House, a chaperon and nine girls.
The comparison of household costs
is as follows:
General
Rent $40.00
Water and Light 12-10
Gas 6.75
Telephone 2-5u
Laundry and cleaning 8 09
Total for house 78.84
Average for Individual .. 7-88

There is a possibility, however, Mrs.
Rosa said, of running into greater ex
pense In co-operaUve housekeeping
than Is necessary, if a careful watch
Is not kept of every account. On the
whole, however, the plan has proved
economical. Mrs. Rosa said she
LWouId be glad to explain the plan to
tiny girls who are interested.

Delegates Hunt for An

By Called Press
LINCOLN, Neb July 21. Even the
-uallet with which Virgil G. HInshaw
national chairman, today called to or
der the thirteenth national convention
of the Prohibition party here had a
dry significance. The gavel head was
made from a tree at the home of John
B. Finch, pioneer prohibitionist, and
the handle was carved from one of
William Jennings Bryan's trees.
The convention today will hear the
keynote address of the temporary
chairman, Aaron S. iWatklns, and com
plete Us organization machinery.
Several addresses by dry leaders are
to be delivered.
Forty Illinois delegates in caucus
this morning are reported to have de
cided to cast their ballot for Robert
H. Patton of Springfield, III, for the
presidential nomination.
Bryan sentiment is apparently on
the wane. His assumed negative at
titude toward accepting the Prohibi
tion nomination, has caused the dele
gates to cast about for other possibili
ties.
