Remarkable GrO,pfL.

There have been few records OF
suburban development to compare
with that of Pinehurst in the past
month.
The increasing demand and cx-
tenS1Ve improvements planned in
this new town site, trayersed, as il
is, by the main avenues of approach
to Atlantic City, has resulted I'm a
decided advance in the price Of lots.
This is only history repeating it
self.
Atlantic City real estate values
have increased more than 500 per
cent in the past Il years and are
still rising. Property along the
Boardwalk is now held at prohibit
tive figures--rents for $3.50 to $500
q foot and sells at $1,000 a foot. A
lot 50x100 that cost 500 sold for
$4,000. A property bought five
years ago for 10000 was sold re-
Gently for $4,000. A small plot
taken for debt of $500 is now
worth half million. These facts
can be verified from the records,
and are only a few of the many in
stances that could be cited.

Home. nor is it considered necessary
to establish a branch of the National
Home here. The temporary home Is
intended to give shelter and care to
those veterans who are going north
or south in search of health and who
are stranded here. Also those who
come here hoping to get pensions Oh
personal appeal and who become ill
and have no money to get away. This
temporary home is designed to shelter
the stranded ones only for a period of
80 days or Whereabouts, or until their
friends or the authorities of the States
from which they come can be commu-
nicated with and these veterans re-
turned to their homes or sent to a
branch of the National Home.
In the hearing before the Congress
IsiOnal Committees many pathetic things
In connection with the temporary home
here were brought out Mrs. Ida ].
Hart and Mrs. Annie w. Johnson, both
Fast Department Presidents. told of
the woe and want and misery that Capt.
Maxim's home witnessed every day in
the year and the necessity for the work
so nobly carried on by him. Mrs. Hart
also wrote letter to be filed with the
papers in the case in which she sketched
some of these things. and members Of
the Committee spoke in most feeling
terms of the beautiful spirit manifested
in this letter. Capt. J. Walter Mitchell
speaking for the Spanish War Veterans,
said that the home was a necessity and
its plans must be enlarged to accom-
mOdate all who must be cared for Col
John McElroy, Past National Senior
Vice Communicating Chief. urged upon
the Committee the necessity for build
ing an enduring home for those who,
through no fault Of their own, were
left at the mercy of the world Of cold
charity. He thought the country owed
It to these men, whose lives had been
wrecked in the service in defense Of
the Nations flag, and cited instances
OF Brigadier-General in the war Of
the rebellion and one Of the greatest
Of civil engineers in the II. S. Army at
one time, who is now free patient in
a grandson of President of the United
States who had become a public charge.
He said he thought 1t should not be
necessary to urge this charity: that it
ought to be given freely. He also COM
plimented Capt. Maxim on the self-ab-
negation manifested in his manage
ment and care for the ailing and de-
pendent veterans.
Mrs. Isabel WOrrell Ball appeared as
a member Of the staff Of the National
President of the Woman's Relief Corps,
which she said numbered 10000
women, and also as representing sew
eral other patriotic societies. She said
that she knew that the little home
which she had visited only the even
ing before had recently sheltered for
mer Brigadier-General. 1t had also
within a few weeks given aid and shell
ter to man between whom and
seat at that Committee table perhaps

only few votes lay: he had been an
unsuccessful candidate for Congress
She. spoke of the men as wrecks on
the shores OF life, having lost friends,
fortune, everything that made life
worth living, and from whom hope had
gone. She declared it only just and
right that the Nations defenders should
be taken care of down to their very
last hour. She urged that this home
was TO be for all time. because wars
had always been and always would be,
hence the home should be strong, large
and handsomely built to endure for
ages. Other speakers were Mrs. Emma
c. Littlejohn, Past Department Secre-
tary; Mrs. Vina N. Calhoun, Depart
ment President: Mrs. Lizzie Calver, and
Mrs Ada c. Weiss, Of the Legion Of

others.
Within a few moments after the last
hearing the Committee on Military Az
fairsof the House, Hon. j. A. T. Hull
of Iowa. Chairman, and Mai. Capron
OF Rhode Island, Vice Chairman, and
both veterans, reported the bill by a
unanimous vote of the Committee to the
House for passage. The bill calls for
an appropriation Of $4,000. and it will
be money we'll expended.
