Louis Howe is a slight, frail man, with a wrinkled face, who wears rumpled clothes and an old-fashioned stand-up collar. He is not as crusty as he looks. No "yes" man, he gives Governor Roosevelt plenty of unwelcome advice. He has a wife and two children in Fall River whom he visits weekends.

In the cheaper apartments of from $50 to $80 a month there is only a 7% vacancy. The white-collar Lawndale district has vacancies of 5% against 16% in the cheaper '"Canal" section. Owned residences (31% of Chicagoans own their homes) are 7% vacant.
