OPTIMISTIC ABOUT SOUTH.
John SHELTON Williams Finds II En-
joying Great Prosperity.

jOyins Great Prosperity.
John Shelton Williams. former presi-
dent of the Seaboard Air Line Railway
and now an active director and member
Of the executive committee, also presi-
dent Of the Georgia and Florida Railway,
after spending more than a week in the
Southeast studying at first hand crop
and trade conditions in that section, says
he saw no evidence OF more than sea-
sonable quietness in business
Mr., Williams went as far South as the
lower part Of Florida. and he says the
cotton crop in the States through which
he Travelled has improved nsiderably in
the last two or three weeks. He admits
the crop is at least two or three weeks
late, but he believes that. without any
setback from now on. the yield will be
materially better than was indicated
three weeks ago
He adds that there have been large
dealings in land this year, and prices.
particularly In Florida, have advanced
greatly. He says larger tracts Of land
are being bought up by companies and
individuals and resold 10 home-seekers.
He found that people who had thought
Of finding homes in various parts OF the
West had come to Florida because of
the climate, the productiveness of the
soil, and tie large returns per acre which
the growers Of fruit and garden truck
are able to realize.
He believes there will be large influx
Of home-seel1ers in Florida Mr. Will
Jams says also that he found money in
good demand in the South. and he re-
CARDS this as a favorable sign. He does
not believe. however there will be a se-
rious stringency in the money market in
the South or in any other section eli the
United States during the autumn.

WILL APPLY TIE FIRE TEST
Company Plans Demonstration for
Labor Day.
Cement House WIZ BE Filled with
COmbustibIe Material and
Burned.

A demonstration IS planned at Virginia
Highlands for Labor Day, when one OF
the cement houses poured by the new
method Of home construction. viii be
hned with combustibles and oil-soaked
woodwork and set one fire.
Construction will start on this building
during the coming week, and the building
will complete Tor the test within ten
days
The steel mold equipment by which this
new type of construction has been made
possible. Is the invention OF a Washing
ton architect, Milton Dana Morrill,, and
demonstrated in the construction of the
first three buildings at Virginia High
lands.
The first was a model station and Office
building. which is a copy OF a small
Italian slila in the midst OF a garden.
and has an attractive roof garden on
top.
The second and third buildings of this
novel construction are six-room resi-
Gences OF attractive design, which are
now being finished as sample houses,
showing the possibility Of the new
method.
The houses are poured in the new steel
mold equipment, which is made OF
standard unit plates locked together and
forming a trough around the walls and
partitions. This trough is filed with
liquid concrete. after which the second
tier of plates is raised from below and
the process continued.
This new type Of construction is but
one OF the features which gives public
interest TO the Virginia Highlands plan.
The officers Of the association have an
ambition to make Virginia Highlands
perfect from the standpoint OF the sani-
tary engineer, the landscape architect,
and the social environment
The plan is largely cooperative. it be-
ing arranged so that the home builders
can by pooliEs their contracts obtain
wholesale prices, and by wholesale buy
ing the cost of living will be reduced.
While already many sites have been
purchased for home building, the associa-
ton does not propose TO have the devel-
opment depend upon purchasers for the
construction Of homes and improvements,
and It is intended to proceed for some
years with the housebuilding.
While the majority OF the homes will
be constructed Of cement. after this new
cost-saving method. several brick houses
are also planned for construction in the
near future.
The holdings Of the association at pres
ent is more than Ice acres, so that it viii
take several years for re development
of the whole property.

dullness of the market at the present
time is a slight scarcity Of money to
float loans on real estate. Brokers say
applications for the renewal Of partly
paid loans that require renewal as we'll
as new loans upon small houses. are
unusually numerous this summer. The
consequence is that the picking process
has been going on until some loans are
hard 20 float.
A prominent broker said yesterday that
some Of his sales had been temporarily
stopped from this cause There is plentE
Of money in the banks. and no strin-
gency Is felt in many directions. but for
purposes of good real estate loans this
month the available supply of funds has
become pretty nearly exhausted. Nat
urally. a greater supply ~ money for
this purpose viii be found as soon as
business men return to the city and turn
loose money that has been on deposit
during the summer months. II Is a fact
that many brokers have been put to It
of late TO md the money TO supply good
real estate leans. especially for the re-
newal of partly paid trusts seeking re-
newals
This is probably but one OF the natural
results of selling so much property on
loans with only a small cash payment
to start with. The installment basis Of
buying property has been extensively
employed for a number OF years in
Washington. and large profits have been
made out OF II by investors. Just now
the demand for such loans seems greater
than the supply.
But this is only temporary in the opin-
ion OF the brokers recently talked with
on the subject. and they are confident
that perfect adjustment viii be reached
in the matter soon after the beginning
Of the fall months

coal bills and it makes no difference
whether the gas bill is paid on time or
not. Then. in a nat. one house servant
fills the bill usually, where two or more
would be required in the separate house.
In the end. doubtless. the cost of living
is lessened, though the item of rent alone
is greater.
In the Best Locations.
Apartments are usually constructed
in desirable localities. Their many
stories give abundance of air and good
views outside. Generally the fat is cool
er in summer and warmer in winter than
the average house in the same locality.
But more potent than any Of these
causes Is the availability Of getting to
and from business or 10 the downtown
section. No one would be foolish enough
TO erect an apartment unless II was near
a car line and in other ways accessible
70 the places where men work and wo-
men do shopping and seek their recrea-
tons
Moreover the apartment fits into the
changes which have come into modern
life. The business man and HIS society
loving wife have little time 10 give 10
the care Of house. The less of such
time required the better, and the apart
ment satisfies this condition in the high
est degree. Bachelor apartments, old
maid apartments. and apartments for
childless married couples are the natural
outgrowth of modern society. and this
possibly accounts for their popularity as
much as anything.
Whatever the causes the fact remains
that for Washington the apartment house
as the shelter Of department employees
and those engaged In bus.%ess Is in large
demand. and this demand seems TO grow
rather than diminish.

REFRIGERATED LIVING ROOMS.

Springfield Republican: Next Great
forward step in material civilization Is
likely to be the cooling OF houses in
summer. The thing is so entirely fea-
sible that it is surprising that rich
people who build fine houses have
not made refrigeration as much
matter of course as heating. Many must
have read with envy Of President
Taft's artihcialIy cooled Offices in
Washington, which helped him through
the tough flag end of tn season. Some
Of the new fruit ships plying to the
tropics are being constructed with the
refrigerator service extended to the
cabins and staterooms as we'll as to
the hold. Here and there a private
house may be equipped, but such a
case is the rare exception now. But
the improvement is in the air, and 1t
will be surprising If a nation which at
taches so much Importance to physi-
cal comfort does not take 1t up with
avfdity, and very likely overdo IL. as
with steam heat in winter There ought
not to be too much difference be-
tween the temperature inside and out
side; a very few degrees would bring
relief and cause no danger or injury
from going in or out. A correspond
ent OF The New York Times sug-
gests what he calls an "antistove,"
which at small cost can be put into
any room. It consists simply of a
tank holding a half pint OF ammonia
with O. drip pan to catch the water.
Once O. day, 1t Is said, is often enough
to repIenish the tank.
