INVESTMENT BUYING
!. IN Recent TRANSFERS
Bunching of Transactions
Rather Than Change in
Market Locality.

The recent changes in the ownership
of property in the business section of the
city have been rather unusual for the
reason that within comparatively brief
time a large number of transfers have
been made. 1t has been in effect a.
punching of transactions. rather than any
change in the market or an increase In

OF property has, Of course, its seasons

times of the year when more is being
done than at other periods.
For some reason which is not altogeth-
err clear the demand for property for in
vestment purposes appears to be greater
at some periods than at others. Gener-
ally speaking the winter season and more
especially the early spring seems to be
the time when those who have money
to invest are in the market in search
Of business properties. On the other
hand the fall brings into the market q
large number of home buyers. although
owing to the activity of the enferprisinG
CORPS of statesmen connected with the va
rious real estate offices the market for
home buyers has come to be practically
an all the year round affair.
investment Buying.
But investment buying, which is such
an important feature in this city with
its growing population and the need OF
supplying homes and larger number
of buildings for business. marks in some
respects the material development of the
city. 1t pfecedes the, opening Of new sec
tons as business spreads out and is the
herald of the change OF "a locality from
resident uses into business.

High Prices Ruled Then.
Frotn the Chri.ti.p Heyaia.

From the Christian Herald
In these days Of well-nigh universal
complaint at the high cost OF living, it
is interesting to read the letter OF an
optimist to one Of the daily papers claim
ing that the price of living in 1872,
a number of years after the civil war.

some seventy years and my memory is
good. l quote you some figures taken
from 1872: and apply them to the same
articles of today. On the. same day In

bushels of potatoes, $3.50. In the same
month paid as follows: For one pair
Of shoes. $3.50; one felt hat, 81; one suit
of not Atwood clothes, $35; one quarter
(front) OF beef, $50 pounds. at II cents.

Three tons OF coal, $18; one barrel Of

same quantity of front quarter OF beef,

at 8 cents. .315.75: one pair Of better
shoes. 81; one hat Of better quality. $2.25;
total, sS9.s5. In favor Of today. $66.40.'
Whatever may have been the cost OF
living In inflated periods Of the past, It
is ever SO much too high now. and 1T
will be worth while for the statesman, the
philanthropist, the reformer, to seek care
fully the cause and undertake q remedy.

CITY MADE NEW FRIENDS
AMONG INAUGURAL VISITORS
Variety of Opportunities for Obtaining

The city of Washington In gaia attire

effective setting for such function. Whas

where the pageant was held. For the
most part it was possible to see the
beauty and the attractiveness Of the city
az 1t is under normal conditions.
The full effect Of the tree-lined streets
with their bordering lawns, the sylvan
phase Of the city SO unusual in its lux
uriance and extent. was lacking owing
to the season Of the year. But the sweep
of the broad streets and avenues. the
vistas closed with statues and fountains
and parks, and the suggestion OF restful,
comfortable living no doubt made its ap-
peal to thousands OF thoughtful minds.
Opportunity to Sec Homes.
As the visitors in street cars and motor
cars passed through the streets in all
parts Of the city and the surrounding
suburbs. they had an opportunity to see
the comfortable homes. not SO much OF

The sense most developed in plants II
that of sight. which enables them to see
light but not to distinguish objects. This
sense Limitation is found among many
living creatures, such as the earthworm,
oyster and coral, ETC.. which possess no
localized visual organ. but give proof OF
their luminous Impressions by the con-.
fractions that they manifest when ex-
posed to ray Of sunshine. Similarly, 1t
is easy to gauge the influence of light on
plants. Cultivate plant in a room with
a window only on one side and it's stalks
in growing will incline toward the source
of light. Psychologists explain this by
suggesting that the side to the dark
grows more quickly than that exposed to
the light. There remains, however. the
fact that the plant has reacted to the
light of whose effect it was conscious
sense common to many plants is that
of touch. or this the most illustrative
example is. as it's name implies, the sem
sitive plant Another leaf, responsive to
the touch. is the catch-fiy, whose two
halves close down one upon the other by
means of a central hinge.

The Sugar Beet.

From Harper's Weekly.
The saccharine contents of beets' in
crease in proportion to the growth of the
plant. When deprived of the necessary
amount of water the beet throws its roots
downward and outward in search of
moisture. In doing this the beet assumes
a tapering shape. The process of sowing
seed from those that taper most perfect
ly is followed until a beet about foot
long and weighing two and one-half
pounds is developed. This shape and
size will contain from ID to 70 per cent
of sugar. The beets are peeled, ground
into pulp, and covered with water, the
sugar being taken into the solution. The
pulp is excellent fodder for cattle.

that this is city for the rich alone is
quickly dissipated, as the range and va

Lightning and Air Travel.

From the Chicago Journal.
When the railroad train was new
thing, gloomy prognosticators shook their
heads. and said that such a moving mass
of iron would be the target for every
"thunderbolt' in the neighborhood. Peo-
pie who risked their lives in such new
tangled conveyance would surely be
killed by lightning. unless they escaped
this fate by getting their necks broken.
The expected refused to happen. One
Of the rarest events in the world Is q
railroad train being struck by lightning.
When men began going aloft in bal
looms, the prediction was made that this
was invading the home of the lightning.
and that disaster must follow.
In this case, the expected did happen;
though 1t has not happened often. Bal
looms have been struck by lightning; one
such accident occurred the other day.
Aeroplanes have been exempt thus far.
The question thus raised Is interesting,
and may even have some practical bear
ing. But humanity does what 1t wants
to do when it can. and let's the dangers

Artificial Rubber.

From the Chicago Journal.
When ALL enthusiasms are discounted
and all adverse chances reckoned, there
still remains a strong probability that
the day Of artificial rubber has ar
rived.
Artificial rubber has been made both
in Germany and England. The sole
question is the question Of cost. By
utilizing discovery. made in the Pas
teur Institute of Paris the English
laboratory workers claim to have found
q cheap method of making rubber from
the so-called coal tar wastes.
1t was a race between English and
German experimenters. and in this case
the Englishnlen seem to have won by q
handy margin.
The claim is made that the new rub
Der can be manufactured on a large
scale as low as 20 cents per pound.
This is unlikely. and unnecessary. The
best Para rubber sold October for
$1.14 per pound, and the best African
rubber was but little cheaper.
Artificial rubber has been shown by
fairly complete tests to be equal to the
best Para. If artificial rubber can be
made to sell for IS or so cents a
pound it will work q revolution in sew
eral lines of trade.
