THE WAY TO BUY A HOME

The cantonment camp at Meade and
construction work at Walter Reed
Hospital is employing 1900 carpenters
and laborers. OF these about $500
have been taken from Washington.
Previously a carpenter received 81
day; now the government pays 81 for
an eight-hour day. Working ten hours
a day at 621z cents an hour for five
and a half days. he makes s343s
week. To this sum add Saturday after
noon and Sundays. fifteen hours at
double pay, and the total is about $50
a week.
That's one reason building has
ceased in Washington.
Laborers get from 81 to 50 day and
transportation to and from the camps.
That's a second reason.
Another reason is that materials

per cent. Metal furnishings. such as
radiators, hardware, etc, have ad-
vanced more than 100 per cent and

From all we can hear, Commissioner

If you have one or more spare rooms

There Is a shortage of suitable rooms
