BEGIN TO SAVE NOW.

NOW! Are you saving your money
to invest in the next issue of the
liberty loan?" This is the question
that concerns every patriotic man and
woman. Failure of a war loan would
De national humiliation. 1t would
give fresh courage to the enemy. II
would be the first failure of the kind
IN our history. 1t must not be. II
VIII not be If from this time on every
one Will set aside, from day to day,
pennies, dimes, or dollars. as circum-
stances will permit, and be in readi-
ness to subscribe to the new loan
when announced. It will be in small
as well as large denominations. Every
body with one dollar or a million will
have an opportunity to subscribe. 1t
will yield generous returns. 1t will be
giIt-edged. 1t will be some thing to
TAX about to your children and your
grandchildren and 1t will be a. lesson
IN thrift as well as of patriotism.
Begin to save now. The nation needs
your help as much as it needs the
help of the above boys in the field.
The aggregate of the small subscrip-
tions should be very large and should
go far toward assuring the success of
the new loan.

GoIdbeater, Worlds Best Workers,

3oIdbeating as an industry is as
ancient and honorable as 1t Is fas-
cinating and wonderful. 1t Is prac-
ticed in almost exactly the same way
today as IL was by goldworkers or
ancient Greece and still more ancient
! Egypt
I Incredible as ii may seem. there
| are well-authenticated instances OF
gold having been beaten down to
more than the three hundred thou
sandth part of an inch in thickness
| or thinness.
Ordinary printing paper Is some
thing more than 1000 times thicker
than the gold leaf that can be made
K in England today. For commercial
purposes the leaf must, OF course
have Just little more substance about
IL than that, but 1t is a striking
and impressive fact that only about
| five grains weight of gold Is required
to make UP the books that are in or
binary use today by gilders, each OF
the twenty-five leaves in that book
being usually three and one-quarter
inches square.
To give a more homely illustration.
the goldbeater could take a button"
of gold of the same size and weight
as a sovereign-roughly. one-quarter
of an ounce and make about twenty
five of these books OF gold leaf out
of II, or about 1900 times its own
size!
The first process is to beat the gold
in a "shoder," which consists of pieces
of specially prepared skin, with which
the metal is interleaved. Though the
hammer used Is fourteen pounds in
| weight, the elasticity of the skin
causes a rebound which considerably
reduces the exertion of lifting.
The "shoder" during the beating
process looks rather like a pack of
cards, only a little larger. and the
"cutch" into which the pieces of gold,
already thinned out to several times
their original size. has much the same
appearance. At this stage, however,
much finer skins are used-so fine
that the 700 or so of which the "cutch"
is composed makes a thickness of
less than one inch. After some hours
more of beating, the gold leaf is
again cut, and put between yet an
other book, or pack of skins, known
as mold"
The mould" is beaten on for about
four hours with hammers of varying
weights and sizes, according to the
stage of the beatings.
.Goldbeating is a most fascinating
craft to watch. and it is especially
interesting when the workman ar
rives at the last stage-the transfer
ring of the incredibly thin leaves of
rich, yellow metal from the mold"
to the books bought by the gilders.
This is done with a very fine pair of
clips. or pincers, made of the lightest
wood. The leaf is deftly laid on a
cushion of soft leather. and then deli
cately cut to the size of the book,
with a simple-looking instrument of
wood with sharpened sides, known as
wagon" The edges of gold leaf
left over are, of course, most care
fully preserved by the workman.-Tit-
Bits.

WAR BREAD INDIGESTIBLE.

Reports OF illness through eating z
war bread are being received from
all over the country. and the news
that Lord Rhondda has instituted
an inquiry into the cause will come
as relief to many.
The bread is said to have given
rise to digestive troubles and then
eruptions in many districts. This
is said to be due to the fact that
some bakers are using imported
-four. which contains beans and
rice ingredients which are quite
unfit for breadmaking. The inclusion
OF the germ sets free a large per-
centage of fat which is unsuitable
for weak digestions- Then. of course.
regulation -four does not possess the
keeping properties which wheaton
-four does, and this fact again gives
rise to disorders.
The gray loaf can never be as pail
atable as the white one. but il can
be made equally digestible and nour-
ishing if the necessary precautions
are taken Still, our bread of today,
with all its defects. is not as bad as
that which the Parisians had to sat
isfy their hunger at the time of the
siege of Paris. when a quantity of
straw was mixed with the -four in
order to help eke out the supplies of
grain.-Dundee Advertiser.

IL HOMES FINISHED
in NEWEST SECTION
Middaugh & Shannon Promise
Brookland Properties Will
Be Model.

Practical completion of the first
twelve residences in one OF the larg-
est building operations now under
way in the National Capital was an
nounced last night. The new section
In Brooklyn. adjacent to the inter-
section Of Twelfth street and Mich
igan avenue-formerly Bunker Hill
road-is not expected to be entirely
finished for some time, as II includes
total of 209 building lots, covering
an area of approximately seven
squares north from that intersection
by a width of about FIVE and a half
squares
The houses already completed in
clude three distinct types: bungalows,
entirely detached residences, and
semidetached homes.
An unusual feature of the construc-
tion is that the operation includes no
frame whatever. All are of brick
and steel construction. with slate
roofs.
The homes range. from six to eight
rooms, with baths. and special at
tention has been given to the pro-
vision of plenty of light and air and
exceptional roominess. The minimum
space between houses except. of
course, in the semidetacbed homes, is
1orty up 10 III rect front. All iots
have extra depth to paved alleys.
A distinct feature of the project is
the provision for broad streets with
ample parking, etc. Plans already
prepared and approved by the Dis
trict government provide for a width
of 40 feet between building lines on
both Michigan avenue and Twelfth
street. This width is to include a
wide parked space between buildings
and the sidewalks. and parked
space down the middle of the road
way. The treatment is to be similar
to that of Maryland avenue north
east, the center space being planted
with trees and with beds of flowers,
and foliage plants.
Several of the other streets within
the boundaries of the operation are
to receive similar treatment, though
none aside from the two mentioned is
to be so wide. Plans for the treat
ment of these two streets have re-
celved the approval of Col. Hearts
and the other District officials.
Middaugh and Shannon are the
architect. builders and owners OF the
property.

French Aristocrats in War.

Although France is a republic, the
French aristocracy has been as eager
in its war service as the British aris-
tocracy. The difference is that, while
the British aristocrat is almost al
ways a commissioned officer, the ma
jority of the French counts and bar
ems are serving in the ranks. Two
thousand one hundred and seventy
six mobiles have already written their
names on the roll of honor. Among
them are Prince Louis Murat. a de-
scendsnt of Napoleon's marshal; the
Duo de Rohan. who before his death
had won both the Croix de Guerre and
the Legion of Honor, and the Comtc
de Turenne. a descendant of the fa-
nous Marshal OF France. The Com
tesse o'Gorman lost her life while
working as a Red Cross nurse, after
having been decorated with the Croix
de Guerre.-Dundee Advertiser.

Fish Sells for 1929.

Sturgeon fishing in the Delaware
river and bay has showed a surpris-
ing improvement over past Yeas in
the number of catches and size OF
the fish. Old river men are mystified
by the return of the sturgeon, as it
was thought these big fish had been
about exterminated. Recently a num-
ber of exceptionally big fish were
caught, some averaging well above 200
pounds and few So0-pound sturgeon
have also been caught.
One fisherman who brought in a 300
pound sturgeon was paid 1905 for the
roe and s24 for the fish. his catch net
ting him 1929.
Harry A. Dulbow, of Pennsgroye,
who has been buying caviar here
for many years, says that this is one
Of the best sturgeon seasons in the
bay he has seen for a long time.
There is big demand for the roe
this year, as importations of caviar
from Russia, where sturgeon are
caught, extensively, have been cut off
by the war.-Philadelphia Record.

GOOD time TO BUY
and SAVE High rent
Washington Real Estate Offers an
Opportunity to Residents.

Rental increases this season are no
respecter of person. Practically every
resident of the District from the poor
est house dweller TO the occupant of
the most elaborate apartment will pay
more for the privilege of living in the
."City Beautiful"
The apartment house population,
numbering many thousands of fami-
lies, is experiencing the conditions of
higher cost in its living quarters as
has already been felt in nearly every
thing else necessary to sustain life. In
keeping with the rise in rents in the
fine apartment houses. house rents
have also risen and as in the case of
the big apartments vacancies are
scarce.
Apartments Are Filled.
A prominent real estate broker who
understands the apartment house sit
uation said last week that not in
many years has the summer season
seen the apartments so well filed as
now and that he expects that by the
first of the month that IL will be next
to impossible to get not only an apart
ment but a house as well, and that
he looks to the adjoining towns to
make room for a good many people
who will have to find places to live, If
not in the city proper, ,H~within a few
miles OF their place of business.
For the man or woman who is look
ing for a good investment, nothing
should appeal to them like Washing
ton real estate, both improved and un-
improved. and for the man on a small
salary who has been paying rent all
his life now of all times is the time for
him to buy home and get away from
the high rents that have naturally
risen due to the great demand for
homes of all kinds.
