$50 pays for an unlimited life scholar
ship in Bookkeeping, Shorthond, Teleg-
raphy or Business Administration and
Finance in our school. $50 will pay for
the board and lodging of the average
student while completing one of these
courses. Two of these courses combined |
will cost $95 for life scholarship. The
average time for completing two courses
when taken at the same time is five
months, therefore board and lodging
would amount to about $3.50. When |
one or more of these courses is finished,
we will place the graduate in position
where his first two or three months
salary will reimburse him for all neces-
sary tuition and board paid for the
course. The graduate seeing that he
can now earn So where before he could
earn but 81, will soon admit that if he
had had to borrow every cent of the
money to pay board and tuition, that it
was the best investment he ever made.
With the famous Byrne Simplified
Shorthand and Practical Bookkeeping,
and our practical way OF teaching Teleg
raphy and Railway station work, we give
the student more thorough training in
half the time and at half the usual cost
of a course in other schools teaching
other systems. This is conclusively
proven by the Endorsements in our cata-
logue from those who have attended
other schools and studied other systems.
We conclusively prove every state
ment we make, and that is why we have
the largest business training school in
America. Our catalogue is free for the
asking, and it will give any parent or
young person just the information they
desire in helping them to make up their
mind as to the school to patronize, the
course to take, the cost, and the in
creased earning capacity.

SAN DIEGO IS PEEvED

II appears that san Diego auto en-
lhusiastS are inclined To be peevcd be
the races in this city under sanction
of The new Western Automobile Asso-
citation, instead Of The American Auto
mobile Association. and because of this
fact they will not participate in The

DEMAND FOR HOUSES RUNS
FAR BEYOND THE SUPPLY

In spite of the great number of
houses going up in all parts of the
city the demand is running far away
from the supply. One Illustration serves
to show the general condition. George
f. keAnedy says that when it became
known that one of his houses would
he vacated. there We're many applica-
tions every day for weeks. and he
was satisfied ne cOul.1 have rented the
house to any one of fifty families. 1t
is safe to say there are fully that many
families in the town all the time who
cannot secure satisfactory houses. most
of them being compelled to live in small
apartments or tent houses. while even
such accommodation is at a premium.
This is in spite of the fact that
north. south. east and west houses are
sprinSing up with rapidity that has
never before been known in this par,
If the world.
Occasionally the Press recountS the
fact that some person is putting up
from two to half dozen or more
houses. and yet these do not seem 10
give any relief Tracts are thrown open
adjoining the city and houses come in
10 being a. by magic. but still The
surplus of families remains clamorin=
for shelter.
To all who wish tu see the city
advance with great strides This i high
ly gratifying. hui the condition also
serves to point the necessity for put
ting forth efforts to meet the demands.
We are building a city with a raIe
Of growth that sets a new record. and
this fact in Itself brings responsibilities
~ we'll as opportunities.
There i talk IF organizing q build
ing company with a view to taking 4
definite parl in the work demanded.
but if this j. taking form the Press
j. not informed Of it, 1t would seem
that such a venture would afford jh"
greatest of opportunity for investment.
and that the buildings erected would
be sold like hot cakes. for the peopl"

Months ago the Press predicted thai

there Will be ten times a. many peo-
