brook, of Portland, eloped from
here yesterday and were married
o little later in Vancouver. Miss
Swart met her fiance, who was in
an automobile, on the Pacific
highway at the upper end OF
town, and owing to the good
roads they we're in Vancouver and
married before the famil.y was
aware of the event.
An older sister of the bride
went into a swoon when the news
was received and 1t was Iot until
four hours later that she was re-

HOME FOR A. F. Of |.
Office Building to Be Erected at Cor.
ner of 9th Street and Massa.
chusetts Avenue,

Announcement has been made that
the American Federation of Labor has
acquired the property at the northwest
corner of 9Th street and Massachusetts
avenue northwest and is to improve 1t
by the erection of a fve-story office
building for its own use. Plans for the
structure are to be prepared by Mil
burn, Holster & Co. architects, of this
city, who also will have supervision of
its erection.
1t is stated the building is to be mon
umental in design and the walls are to
be of sufficient size to permit the ad-
dition of three or four more stories
should more office space be required.
The property which has been acquired
has frontage of about sixty feet on
Massachusetts, avenue and 1913 feet on
9Th street. There is wide parking
space on the Massachusetts, avenue
side. At present an old four-story resi-
dence stands on the property.
1t is estimated the building will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000. 1t
probably will be of light brick and
stone construction. The razing of the
old residence which now stands on the
property Is to be started in a few days
and within six or seven weeks every
thing will be in readiness to begin the
erection of the new structure, 1t is
stated.

Southern Shipbuilding.
From the Atlanta Journal


The announcement that a four-mil-
lion dollar shipbuilding plant will be
constructed at Mobile, Ala. is OF signal
Importance to the industry and COM
merce of the south. The development
of trade between this country and
Latin America depends very largely
on the establishment of adequate
transportation facilities. Without a
sufficient number OF merchant vessels
the United States cannot realize its
opportunities for oversee business or
reap the due benefits Of the Panama
ca nal.
Especially are the south's interests
involved in this need. BY every natural
circumstance. the south should have a
large share of Latin American COM
merce and should profit by the canal
more directly, perhaps. than any other
section. But If this good fortune is to
be enjoyed there must be efficient
steamship service between southern
ports and Latin American markets.
The Mobile enterprise is a notable
step toward meeting these conditions.
Though it does not assure the building
of the ships. 1t will provide admirable
means for building them: and the very
fact that capitalists feel safe in in
vesting 100000 for this purpose au-
gurs q good future for the shipbuild
ing industry In the southeast

SAYS REALTY APPRAISING
is SCIENTIFIC VALUING
ALI Guesswork Must Be Entirely
Eliminated, Declares
Writer.

The expert real estate appraiser is to
the prospective investor what the med
ical expert is to the sick. Anybody can
administer nostrums to those who need
medical treatment, but it needs the ex-
perienced and practiced student to pre-
scribe remedies that will be sure to
cure. Anybody who can see, think and
talk can make d guess at the value of
a property, but such a guess If fol-
lowed by the investment of money may
mean regrettable losses. says William
P. Rae in the New York Times.
Real estate appraising is not guess
ing. 1t is scientific valuing. In fixing
valuations prices paid at private sale
and at auction for nearby properties
are of great consequence. but they pro-
vide the appraiser with only one angle
from which to view the problem. The
maximum improvement possible for q
plot has to be considered, and the
amount of income that can be derived
from that improvement is decided
factor in the final valuation.
But in these times of changing trade
centers, appraisers must go even be-
yond this to consider what relation a
property bears to traffic. what influ-
ences exist for increasing or decreas-
ing values, what influence nearby prop
eFIleS "Oulu HdNe IL tHelT
should change, and finally what part OF
these prospects has already been dis
counted and what part is still to be ac-
counted for.
To do all this Is not the work of a
novice. In the first place, the most
complete records are necessary, but
, more important still is the experience
that comes from many years of asso-
citation with real property in all parts
of the city and suburbs through buy
ing and selling as auctioneer and
broker. In this latter dual capacity
one is not only salesman for a Gus
toner but an adviser as well.
+ The auctioneer, if he is advising the
purchase of property, for. subsequent
sale at auction, must be able to figure
values so closely that no error possibly
can be made; he must know within a
few dollars the price that can be real
iZed on every lot of a vacant tract
The actual selling at auction is, per-
haps, the most easily accomplished, all
the real work of such a sale. consisting
of properly advertising a property to
get a following and of putting it be-
fore prospective bidders in the most
favorable light.
This Is the day of specialists. Every
business and every profession has It's
leaders who have devoted their time
and mentally to perfecting them
| ever it is these men aim to do requires
| many years of application and study
So with the auctioneer and appraiser

Builder Soon to Erect Nine More
Houses on Upton
Street.

Announcement was made today that
John NJ. Henderson is about to start
another home building operation on
Upton street east of Connecticut ave-
nue. which is to involve about 100000.
He has acquired from the Newlands
company a frontage of $50 feet on Up
ton street to the west of a row of six
houses which he built recently. The
sale of the property was negotiated by
Thomas J. Fisher & Co.
Mr.. Henderson has had plans pre-
pared for the erection of nine houses
on the newly acquired frontage. Each
is to be twenty-five feet wide. Three
of the houses are to be of the semi
detached type. The fronts are to be of
rough-texture copper-colored brick and
the frame is to be of steel construction.
On the first floor of each house there
is to be a parlor. with open fireplace:
reception hall. dining room. with beam
ceiling; kitchen and pantry. A library.
measuring "a by Is feet. with open fire.
place; two bedrooms and bath and
glass-inclosed sleeping porch are to be
on the second floor, while on the third
floor will be four bedrooms and bath.
Vacuum cleaner outfits are to be in
stalled in the houses and also inter-
communicating telephones.

Farmers and Automobiles.
From the Boston Globe.

The war has had a tendency to
largely increase the sale of American
horses to foreign nations. 1t is esti-
mated that already twelve times as
many horses have been sent abroad
this year compared with a correspond
Ing period last year.
This expectation of horses naturally
pleases our manufacturers of automo-
biles. for motor vehicles are in more
demand by the farmers 1t also appears
that about one-half the number of au-
tomobiles in the United States are own
ed by farmers. The number of farmers
in New York state owning these vehi-
cles is 156,173: Illinois, 131,140; Penn
sylvania. 107.141; Massachusetts,. 49,
s22: Michigan. 1880. and in eight
other states the number ranges from
so. 900 to $1,000.
The usefulness of motor cars to farm
ers Is obvious. These cars are also re-
ducing the freight profits of some sub
urban steam and trolley roads, again
illustrating that no one can foresee
what economic conditions q new inven-
ton will alter.

A War of Words.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
Some metropolitan newspapers seem
just now to have discovered that the
words "pacificist and 'pacif1st" have
been having a battle for supremacy in
popular use. AS far back as February
IS last the Army and Navy Journal
published the opinions of Frank H.
Vizetelly, Lift. D.. editor of the Stand
ard Dictionary, as to which form OF
the two words is the better. From the
viewpoint of the photographer Mr.
Vizetelly said that both forms are in
Interchangeable. but personally he pre-
ferred 'pacificist," which suggests pa
cific plus list to ''pacifist." which suE-
gests pacify plus list" Gentlemen with
little knowledge of the lexical bases Of the
words have been heatedly advocating
one or the other form to the exclusion
of any other. evidently unaware of the
conservatism of the true photographer
as shown by Mr.. Nizetelly, who moves
slowly in deciding upon this or that
word as the only one to express par
ticular thought.

One is not to imagine or to be afraid

There is no necessity to have bureaus.
washstands or chests of drawers In

into adjacent closets and dressing
rooms The kitchen end of the porch

couple of porches with a row Of lock-
ers and one or two dressing closets be-
tween them. The porches can have
swinging or sliding windows. wire net
ting, wooden shutters. fireplace and
bookcases. 1t Is true, the furniture
should be of such quality that sun and
rain would improve rather than fr5ure
it. In such porches the whole family
can enjoy every aspect of the sur
rounding country. They can lunch be-
space in view OF the sunset; on a cool
evening they can close as many win

wake in the morning with an indie
scribable feeling of freshness and we'll

Homework Made Lighter.
If the morning is cool. the breakfast
table may be set In the sun: If warm, in
the shade. And II the women only
knew how light. by comparison. is the
curse of dish washing when the work
is done on a pretty porch with the
open landscape before them instead of
a blank wall. AS for sweeping and
dusting-the wind and a few pals of
water now and then to freshen the
floors do all that is required of a par
lor maid. After several years of ex-
perience I am ready to assert that
porch work is far less exacting and
irksome then homework. Keeping
things tidy becomes a natural reaction.
There are no periodic housecleanings,
shaking, headline towel days when
one grudgingly, rebelliously atones for
a few days of happy fdleness.
Makes House Cooler.
One who has never lived continuously
in a porch house may urge as an OBJ
lection to such structures that they
can offer no cool retreat in the heat of
the day. 1t Is true that the comfort
and charm of such houses are greatly
enhanced by over-arching trees. But
especially of all thin-walled summer
abodes. However, when porch houses
are provided with shutters placed out
side the windows, they may be kept
considerably cooler during the heat of
the day than upholstered or unsheathed
houses; and this is the case even when
they are entirely protected by trees.
1t is always desirable In such struc-
lures, when there is no overhead shade.
to have an air space between the cell
ing of the porch rooms and the roof
proper. Ordinary sheathing placed
close together will answer very well
for a ceiling. On extremely hot days
all we need do Ia to close the windows
mot too Tight and lower the heavy
wooden blinds. Vines may be grown
on trellises far enough away not to
interfere with the blinds. The layer
of air between glass and blinds Is a
poor conductor of heat. The large
chimney provides for a good circula-
ton of air.
ADVANTAGES Of Porches.

BELIEVES MORE PORCHES
SHOULD Be PROVIDED
Writer Says Fewer Rooms and More
Outdoor Life Are
Desirable.
Walls of Lattice Work and Vines
and Box Flower Beds Are
Recommended.

II the owners Of farmhouses, country
cottages and small town dwellings would
only have more porches and fewer
rooms, But most Of us. like our pr1m-
five ancestors, are obsessed by the no
ton that the solid walls of a dwelling
must be out of all proportion to its
Highland air-space. Although we en-
Joy our porches in fine weather and do
not enjoy our rooms with their few
square feet of window space, We fall
year after year, to draw any practical
differences from this fact, says j. Fran
oes Cook, In the House Beautiful.
Again and again we have heard peo-
pie, when the clock told them that sup
per time was at hand, complaining. Its
the plea santest part of the day. How
do hate to go inside! For my part I'd
rather go without supper than spend the
next two hours indoors" Thousands of
people are saying the same thing. max
ing the same purposeless protest, as they
reluctantly turn their backs to the sunset
or the purpling mountains, or the fresh
blue sea or the wide fields now wonder
fully streaked with the long shadows OF
late afternoon, and go for their evening
meal to detested dining rooms with ar
tifcial lights glowing and heating over

but tantalizing window pictures of the

It never occur to them that the everyday
dining room can perfectly well (and bet

Protecting the Table.
A few sliding or folding windows will
enable US to construct on an otherwise
open porch a sheltered nook for the din
ing table where the soup will not cool
rapidly even on the windiest days. OF
course, porches have to be abandoned
in winter: but people who build camps
and cottages for summer occupation only
have no excuse except that of ignorance
and conservatism for the kind of dwell
ings they construct. If they cannot
have both room and porch, they proceed
to do as others do and build themselves
o room. For they would say, "it is
possible to have a room without porch.
but we cannot have a porch without a
room" To these I would bring the
glad tidings that porches may exist
without rooms. at least the rooms may
be reduced to the size of closets and
cupboards.
