REAL rs IA II
BUILDING GOING
ON THRU WINTER
REAL ESTATE MAN SAYS OUT
LOOK rs BRIGHT.
Business Picked Up After Election
Much Building, Especially Of Homes,
Is Being Done 1t Will Continue
with Little Interruption by the Cold.

Wallace II. Davis, vice president of
David P. Jones & Co., sums up the
present real estate outlook as follows:
"Since the general election real
estate has been much more active than
before, and a number of real estate
transfers are now taking place. This
activeness in real estate is, perhaps,
II n part due to the beautiful, clear and
(for this time of Year, warm weather
prevailing, which is very favorable to
going up. Most Of them are dwellings vel eM
homes, and as a result there are
large number of building loans being
taken out. And every loan of this sort
means the erection of a home worth
at least two times the amount of the
loan. Money is also regarded as cheap
5 or 6 per cent interest
There is considerable inquiry at
most Of the real estate Offices for home
lots. Property seems especially active
in the Lowry Hill district. There de-
mand has caused property to steadily
advance IN price. There is more call
than in any other part Of Minneapolis.
Since 1.-The Parade has been COM
pleted, the magnificent Martin house
and other elegant homes been erected
on Mount Curve, property has gone
up there some 20 per cent. This in
crease in values represents about a
year. time.
'To even constant resident the
great amount of building now going
on in nearly every part Of Minneapolis
is very noticeable. And to person
who returns after perhaps years alb
sence, the increase in buildings is real
ly surprising. I should say the general
outlook in the real estate market thru
out the city is better than it was thir-
ty days ago, in spite Of the approach
of winter. Winter does not have the
dread for contractors that it did for
merly. There are many contractors
a house or large building during the
winter months as readily as they would
in the summer years ago. There are
many all,.winter jobs in Minneapolis

THE AMERICAN HUSBAND
His One Great Fault Is Absorption ii

An extraordinary reason for separa-
ton from her husband was that given
by a Colorado woman in applying to
by his unvarying obedience, made life
too monotonous for her. While the
statement is doubtless subject to some
discount on the score Of the reporter 8
imagination, it recalls the familiar crit
icism of foreigners that the average
American husband is 'too good' to
his wife. In English households St.
Paul's sterling words are still quoted
with approval, and the. elimination Of
"obey" from the marriage service has
saying abroad that to tell the national IN !.
ity of couple one has only to observe
them entering a hotel diningroom. If
the man precedes the woman they are
English, if the woman sprecedes the man
they. are French, but il they walk. side
by side they are American. The saying
aptly illustrates the truth that nowhere
is there greater equality Of sexes than
in this country. Individual tyrants,
both masculine and feminine, there may
be, but on the whole, men and women
have come to an understanding that
each has a particular work to do and
is not subject, as sex, to the authority
of the other.
If, as type, the American husband
possesses one fault more conspicuous
than another, it is his tendency to be-
come absorbed in business to the ex-
clusion of his domestic life A business
man in one Of George AIDES fables says
that he provides the cash while the
wife provides Couture enough for
two. f" It is tendency which should
be combated. The American husband
is made for better things. That he is
good to his wife we admit. But,

FACTOR IN FAST TRAVEL
Great Attention Is Now Given to the
Roadbeds. .,..-.
Chicago Journal.


In the early railroad days, and that
era may be brought down to a compar-
atively recent date, roadbeds were con-
structed largely along the lines of least
resistance: The economy Of time was
not considered as carefully as the econ
emy Of constructions. Then came the
era Of speed, when the saving Of the
hours became all important.
New, high-speed locomotives were in
vented and fast express schedules were
arranged with few stops, but there was
still another great factor in bringing
about the present fast train service that
the average person fails to take into
account.
A great deal Of speed can be put into
the track itself. Then came an era Of
improvement in the roadbed, and grades
were cut down and filed up to as near
dead level as possible, and cutoffs
were built to eliminate bends and
curves. So with "a fast track" and
high-speed locomotives, the modern ex-
press trains and "specials' have re-
duced the distance between points and
added to the fast train service without
sacrificing either comfort or safety.
