Nearly Two Million Dollars Spent For
Building In Miami During Past Year

Miami, Jan. Sin spite of the
numerous impediments to building
operations that arose during the
year Of 1917, among which is the
declaration Of war by the United
States, the building stride in Miami
last year kept pace with that of
1915, and far surpassed that of the
year before. when the United States
had not entered the world conflict.
The Magic City's building for the
year ending yesterday lacks less than
$4,000 Of equaling the enormous
amount expended in that direction
during the year of 1916, although
1917 was record breaker in the his
tory Of Miami.
One million, nine hundred and fiji.
teen thousand, six hundred and for
ty-fve dollars were expended during
the last year, against $1,925,033 for
1916, showing difference of only
s9,9SS, in spite Of the fact that the
country has been at war for some
time, and prices have scared so high.
During the month Of December.
$4,000 was expended in this city,
which, although 1t is not an everage
months expenditure, Is excellent for
the month Of December, when the
greater part Of the years building
program usually has been carried
out, and the new years program has
not yet been begun.

ECONOMY IN THE HOME

Simply and without giving the i'm
preston that he was saying anything
unusual. a certain man of ordinary
means told the Herald the other day,
of the household economies put into
effect in his home, as a result OF the
war, They were put into effect, not
at the request Of the government, but
because the man and his good wife
early realized that economy every
where was going to be required and
that it must begin, II at all, in the
home.
That is sample American opinion
and characteristic American way or
going about to accomplish results.
This particular family has been able
tc effect considerable saving in the
articles Of food which the govern
'ment has asked shall be conserved
by observing common sense rules and
being willing to make some little sac
ritices.
Multiply that family by twenty
million, and we can begin to esti-
mate the great saving that has been
accomplished in this country. since
the attention of the people was d.
rected to the necessity Of saving and
conservation. For it may we'll be be-
lieved that the average American
family, whether wealthy or whether
only In well-to-do circumstances, has
done about as the Miami man and his
family have done in the matter OF
food conservation.
II he saves one pound of meat a
week, the homes of the United States
are saving twenty million pounds a
week. If he saves an ounce Of sugar
week, the families Of America are
saving over eight hundred tons OF
sugar every week, and so on with ali
other economies put into effect and
enforced.
The government did wisely when 1t
appealed to the patriotic homes O!
the country, for 1t is by the small
economies practiced in the homes tina,
the great saving of wheat and meat
aud sugar is to be accomplished, a
saving that will insure ourselves am
pie food supplies and will assure oul
el,iec that we will be able to do oul
full duty by them.-Miami Herald.

ONE MIAMI WOMAN

only woman "for hire" chauffeur
Miss DeVore says that she has been
doing we'll since she decided to en-
ter the taxicab business in this city,
and, while at first doubtful as to how
ether local chauffeurs would feel
about having a woman competitor,
declares that they have all been very
nice to her and that they have helped
her.
"Of course, driving for hire car
is rather an unusual occupation for
women here in Florida, but think
that 1t Is a much nicer way Of work
ing than staying in an office or store

DEAD MEMS EFFECTS
SOLD At AUCTION

London, Jan. 4.-Dead mems effects
are sold at auction on the ships deck
by an old custom In the British navy.
Prices out of all proportion to the
value of goods are aften realized for
the mans hears, especially If the
late owner was popular with his ship
mates.
Purely personal belongings, such
as letters and photographs, are first
taken ont to be forwarded to the de-
ceased's relatives. Then, as soon as
offirial sanction is obtained, the rest
Of the articles are taken to a conven-
lent part of the ship and offered for
sale. The master.at-arms acts as
auctioneer.
Bidders who have obtained the
small articles from such an auction
somtimes throw back their purchases
for resale until as many Jackies as
feel inclined have had chance Of
contributing something towards the
assistance of the dead mans next-ot
kin. Thus these kit sales become the
Lower Decks way of taking up 6
charitable collection.
The kit of a deserter Is similarly
sold by auction, the proceeds goine
to the National Treasury. But the
whole outfit rarely fetches more thai
a few shillings, as many sailors re
gard the possession Of articles form
erly belonging to a deserter as unde
sirable, IL not unlucky.
