More Houses Needed to Ease Rent Crisis
President Coolidge backed a rent limit for Washington but failed. He proposes court actions to stop evictions for higher rent, yet this risks higher costs and poorer services. The cure is more housing, not price controls, via a government or private financing move to build homes with a second mortgage company to expand supply. A newspaper exchange notes the era’s Americanism about affording it.

The Haskin Letters on Public Health Nursing in DC
The United States Public Health Service recommends one public health nurse per 2,000 people. Washington should have about 243 but has 63, including visiting, school, and child hygiene nurses. The Instructive Visiting Nurse Society, founded 23 years ago by Dr. Anne A. Wilson, Miss Emily Tuckerman, and Mrs. Mary W. Bayard, provides care to those unable to afford hospital services. It charges 97 cents per visit for moderate means, with income-based or free care for others. The society also offers an hourly service, and night delivery for confinement cases. Since 1900 it shifted from charity to 33 percent self-supporting by 1924. Nurses work only with a physician, and initial calls are made by patients or families, with subsequent visits pending physician consultation. Large insurers now contract for these services.

Cicero’s trusted aide reportedly used a mature method taught in Roman schools. In the 19th century Protestants developed new systems, with crude attempts prior to Pittman’s 1837 standard.

Ecuador Prosperity Tied to American Chocolate Demand
New York March 16 The Foreign Trade Council reports Ecuador’s commerce has rebounded thanks to U S taste for chocolate covered ice cream confections. The cocoa boom boosted Ecuador’s cacao exports, aided U S confectioners, and restored trade after wartime disruptions. 1920 U S exports from Ecuador were 12.24 million dollars while imports to Ecuador reached 14.8 million. 1921 figures show a collapse in both exports and imports by roughly two thirds.
