|NEW SELLING Plan
| AIDS DEVELOPMENT
Local Realty Brokers Adopt
System of Selling Houses
Wholly on lnstaIIments.

A new method in house selling, which
gives promise Of being a factor in the
growth Of the capital, has just been de-
veloped. Shannon & Luchs. the origina-
tors Of the idea, used it largely in their
operations during the past few weeks and
the firm has made q record Of a total Of
thirty-eight sales in as many consecutive
days.
The method IN q measure eliminates the
sometimes burdensome frst payment on a
home The installment plan, as usually
in vogue, requires first payments cOnstd-
erajbly larger than the succeeding ones,
the amounts seldom being less than 500.
Under the new plan the initial payment,
instead of being required in one amount,
Is cared for on the monthly installment
basis, SO that in the process of acquiring
q home one payment does not fall upon
buyer with moro severity than does an
other.
While activity in the sales Of homes
during the past few years has been one
Of the features OF Washington's real es-
tate market. undoubtedly more homes
been devised which would have eliminated
the initial payment being deposited IN
lump sum. On this theory the Shannon &
Luchs firm worked out its plan
in the event that a buyer hasn't the
necessary first payment, under the new
arrangement he can have a house re-
served and make small monthly pay
ments on 1t. Preparations for building
the house are commenced, and the
scheme Of payments is 80 adjusted that
by the time the structure is finished the
initial payment has been made and the
buyer may move into the house. After
that he is required to meet only the
monthly installment payments until the
property has been paid for.
The new buying plan Is in operation
principally in the new Wardman tract,
Highview, where houses are being built
in solid blocks, and with such rapidity
that a miniature town is in process OF
creation on the heights overlooking the
city at the head Of North Capitol street.
Prospective buyers select their homes
from plans prepared by the builders, with
will be Of the same standard. The plan
has been developed in connection with
the marketing Of houses of moderate
price.

Odd Tramway Literature.
From the London Chronicle

From the London Chr0nlcIp.
The Liverpool tramway authorities have
furnished two quaint additions to the lit
erature of notices. Some years ago this
notice was posted in the Liverpool cars:
Passengers are requested to pay no
more pennies than the conductor In their
presence punches holes in their tickets
for" This was criticised. and another
effort made and posted: Passengers are
requested to pay no more pennies than
for which the conductor in their pres

too. was pronounced failure, and the
officials concluded that language had not
vet been invented which would express
what they felt. But don't you know ex-
actly what the official notice meant?

Many in their great anxiety for
gain undertake too much and work
like slaves to accomplish it, only to
find at the end of the year they have
gained little by it. Think more and
work less. Life is short and it was
meant that YOU should enjoy it. Are
you fretted and respondent? Then
rest. Take more sleep; have a holt
day. Get cheered up and cheer up
those about you. While your life

happy one. Do not undertake too
much. BE not too anxious. BE cheer
ful, truthful, hopeful and contented.

A WORD TO HUSBANDS.

Love and appreciation are to wo-
man what dew and sunshine are to a
flower. They freshen and brighten her
whole life. They make her strong
hearted and keen-sighted in every
thing affecting the welfare of her
home. They make her to cherish her
husband when the cares Of life press
heavily upon him; and to be a very
providence to her children. To know
that her husband loves her and is proud
of her and believes in her; that even
her faults are looked upon with tend
erness; that her face, to one at least, is
the fairest in all the world; that the
heart which TO her is the greatest and
noblest, holds her sacred in his inner
most recesSes above all other women,
gives strength and courage and ener-
gy and sweetness and vivacty which
all the wealth of the world could not
bestov. Let "A woman's life be per-
vaded with such an influence, and her
heart and mind will Fever grow old
but will blossom and sweeten and
brighten in perpetual youth.
