Would Hurt Home Buying.

The local officials have been informed
Of the following statement made by a
prominent government official, whose

concerning the effect of the proposed
law on the real estate market:
"A great majority of government
clerks have IN recent year, acquired
equities in their homes on account OF
the very liberal terms given by build
ers. The result of the seven-year ten
ure provision in the Legislative bill will
be to scare the clerks who are buying
their homes through building associa-
tions. trusts held by trust companies.
savings banks and individuals into dis
posing of their equities to the best
possible advantage. SO that they may

end of the seven-year period.
1.-The clerks will become renters. Few
clerks, if any. hereafter will become pur-
chasers of homes. Building operations
will be at standstill for years to come.
The money received from the sale OF
equities Will be boarded and the clerks
will double up in houses preparatory to
leaving the service. Rents will be
doubled and the shark in the real estate
business will be the beneficiary"

Exhibition of
BrOnZeS

We now have on display
and sale a large and very fine
collection of bronzes which
A. Griffoul & Bros. Co. ex-
hibited at the recent Newark
Industrial Exposition. These
bronzes are very beautiful,
which, added to the fact that
they were made in Newark,
should appeal particularly TO
local people.
Bronze is an alloy of cop
per and tin and lends itself
particularly to bringing out
the fine lines and details of
the sculptor's art. 1t ac-
quires a beautiful tone or
patina with age, and this
patina or color, though often
initiated, is never equaled in
any of the so-called imitation
bronzes or inferior alloys.
The bronZes shown here
have been selected as repre-
sentative work of the worlds
foremost sculptors and are
cast by men who combine
artistic ability with the skill
Of the mechanic.
Years of experience are neces-
sary before a man is competent
to make the moulds. The men
who can do this work in the
United States can probably be
counted on the fingers of one
hand.
The moulds are made of an
exceedingly fine, clinging sand
imported from Paris, France.
After the impression is made in
the sand, the mould is baked 10
prepare il for pouring" the
metal, which is statuarv bronze
of the highest grade. The sand
is then broken aWav from the
casting. A new mould is there
fore necessary for every cast.
The skill required in making the
moulds and the fact that new
mould is required for every piece
consequently, each piece re-
quires special and particular at
tention) is what makes bronzes
costly.

Between
Ourselves

In Everett, Washington. the
wives of the various Great North
ern Railroad engineers have
formed an organization known as
the Assistant Engineers Club
the purpose OF which is to teach
women to run locomotives.
These good fraus wish to learn
the engineering game so that
when their husbands return tired
and worn from their different
runs. they may be able to talk
intelligently upon the subject
that lies closest to the heart of
every engineman-his engine.
Sublimel
Many wives do not know-or
had we better say DO NOT CARE
about their husbands work.
They are unable to talk intelli-
gently upon business subjects,
hence the evening conversation
sometimes lags.
Understand, we don't say ALL
women. The average woman
knows a GREAT DEAL about
her better half's work, and by
her help and good counsel her
husband prospers.
Ladies', why not emulate the
example of the Washington
women and learn more about
your husbands business affairs?

This system is nothing more nor
less than the paying of an employe
