Documentary War Stamp Taxes
 The War Revenue Act of Oct. 9, 1917, imposes stamp taxes on con- veyances of realty as follows:
 Conveyance: Deed, instrument, or writing, whereby any lands, tene- ments, or other realty sold shall Eo granted, assigned, transferred, or otherwise conveyed to, or vested in, the purchaser or purchasers, or any other person or persons, by his, her or their direction, when the consider ation or value of the interest or prop erty conveyed, exclusive of the value of any lien or remembrance remain ing thereon at the time of sale, eX- ceeds S1OO and does not exceed $5OO.- 30 cents; and for each additional $500 or fractional part thereof 50 cents: Provided, That nothing contained in this paragraph be construed as to i'm nose a tax upon any instrument or writing given to secure a debt"
 Relative to the above, the following though not necessarily controlling fu- ture rulings by the Department, are issued for the guidance of all con- cened:
 No stamp is required on deeds when actuel value of the interest or property conveyed does not exceed $1OO.
 Deeds executed, dated and deliver ed prior to December 1, 1917, altho filed for record on or subsequent to that date, are not taxable.
 Deeds dated prior to December l, 1917. but acknowledged before notary public and delivered on or subsequent to that date, are taxable.
 Deeds in escrow are subject to tax if final delivery is made on or subse- ouent to December 1, 1917.
 The taxable consideration will be the actual consideration or value ol the interest or property conveyed less the amount of such incumbrance' if anv. as remained upon the proper tv at the time of sale. In computing taxable consideration, no allowance for purchase money mortgages will be made
 Tn case of exchange of properties inc deeds transferring title to each are subject to tax; the tax will in each such case be reckoned upon the value of the interest or property con- veved. with allowance for the existing incumbrance thereon, if any.

shown by the governments construc- tion of office quarters for the Council of National Defense. The quarters are made largely of paper and cost to build less than the rent would be for one year in the average up-to-date office building.
 ~ rDa buildings provide all the ess.r-.'.- reat, light and space. There are three acres of floor space UOl. .OOO square fect), steam heat, ample daylight and electric light. The total cost was S225,OOO or $2,25 a square foot, And this result was produced in 53 days.
 The recipe for this kind of a build ing runs about as follows: Take plen- ty of spacc-amplc land is positive ly esseutial-order plenty of second grade lumber for floor, roofs and out side walls, and do the rest with bat tens. wall-board lpasteboarO and a dash of cement. Cut out all Orna- mentation. Have all wiring exposed and don't even nail strips over the cracks between wall-board strips.
 The result is restful, weather-tight and entirely satisfactory, and the cost is something to make 8 rent-payer sing for joy.
 At S2.25 a square foot a room and bath occupying I5 by 20 feet would cost only S675. In order to allow for hall space. heating, care, etc. raise this figure to 5000. Figure a rent on the basis of 20 per cent (which would pay for the building in five years) and the rent would be only S2OO per year; Sl6.66 a month; S416 a week
 If the rent were figured on the us- ual ten per cent basis the above fig ures would be cut in half, and if the government were content merely to get 6 per cent on its money the years rent would be S6O, or S5 a month, or SIPS a week.
