HICKORY NUTS
SOLDIERS HERE
FOR 3 SHOWS

Here's the way the Raleigh, N. c.,
News and Observer, Secretary Dan
iePs newspaper, reported the recent
visit there of the Hickory Nuts
company, of returned soldiers, who
will appear here tonight, aand Satur-
day matinee and night:
The "Hickory Nuts. are here. They
came in yesterday morning, hired a
street car and jazzed about the town
until afternoon, then dined here and
there with friends and last night
launched the Capital City's mid-sum-
mer festival of fun. Compared to
auditorium crowds, the house was
small, but those who didn't see the
battle-scarred veterans in vaude-
vile turnout, as cleverly as ever gets
below Washington, will have the OPP
portunity again this afternoon and to-
night
The Hickory" part of the outfits
name is matter of history, and the
nut" part, stage reference only, is
most eloquently demonstrated in two
hours and twenty minutes of undi-
luted fun. For vaudeville that pass
the censorship of the parquet and
peanut gallery with equal outburts
of approval, parts of the show aren't
surpassed on either the Keith, Or
pheum of Loew circuits. And the
whole program clings so close to one
standard until discrimination is i'm
prudent.
Captain Irving O'Hay.
Captain Irving O'Hay, one of the
"a survivors of the princess Pat"
battalion that lost so heavily in the
early fighting over there, and after
ward a member of the Thirtieth Di-
vision, is manager, off and on the
stage, interlocutor in everything. He
opens the performance with a bar
rage of machine gun chatter which he
concludes with the modest assertion
that his show is the best attraction
in the business, besides Barnum &
Bailey and AL G. Fields.
The thirteen-piece jazz orchestra
opens the program with ''How va
Gonna Keep EN- Down on the Farm"
and swings into the oriental Hindus-
tan with as much pep as a second
heutenant's graduation salute Then
it jazzes right along for the rest of
the evening. First on the stage are
Privates Afford and Price, 118th and
120th Infantry, respectively, with an
acrobatic act that makes you think
the press agents "spoofng" when
he says both have been wounded.
Follows Sergeant Jimmy Folstner,
bass soloist, very good.
First War Bride.
Then the program gets most inter
esting with the introduction of Ma
dame O'Hay, the first of the two war
brides to appear. With Sergeant
Beale and Private Adams, 115th and
120th, both wounded, she does a song
and dance number exceedingly nifty.
In order are the "Old Hickory quar-
tette and the Saxophone quintette,
the first composed of Sergeants
Young, Headquarters 30th, wounded;
Sergeant Bennett, Headquarters de-
tachment; Sergeant Elzell, Hath ar

A slim of the Tonoue

I'm quite sure the most embarrass-
ing moment of my life was when I met
my friend Jim -. whose very rich
father had just died. Intending to ex-
tend to him an expression of my SYM
pathy, by some lapsus linguae said
to him; Jim, I've just heard OF your
fathers death, and | want to extend
to you my sincere congratulations

also wounded; the quintette compos-
ed of Sergeant Forbes, Private Ran

and Private Johnson.
Sergeant Young and Sergeant Ma
jor Grant, Belgian Refugees" fol-
low with dance and song patter in
which the latter appears as female
impersonator. After this is the best
juggling act seen in Raleigh and one
of the best in vaudeville today. "Who
Rung in Them Crooked Dice" is the
sketch title for the part of Private
Wayland, 117th, and Private Adams
and Bugler Price, 120th. The string
act, with Sergeant Wilson imper-
sonating French War bride, is
staged by Sergeant Young, Sergeant
Mckenzie, (115th Machine Gun Bat
talon of Raleigh, and Sergeant
Beale.
Personnel of Orchestra.
The orchestra, with Captain O'Hay
as leader, is composed of Sergeant
Kelly Forbes, 10th; Mrs. Shorty
Prick, real war bride; Bandmaster
Moore, 118th; Private Sam Carter,
117th; Private Alex Rankin, 117th;
Private Fred Becker, 117th; Private
Joe Johnson, 117th; Private Woody
Williams, 117th; Shorty Prick,
Headquarters Troop; Private Gran
vile Watson, 117th; "Happy" Hud-
son, 115th Machine Gun Battalion,
and Hub" Wilson, 18th Machine
Gun Battalion.
Of particular interest to Raleigh
folk was the appearance of Sergeant
Kenneth Mckenzie, who in antebel-
lum days frequently appeared in con-
cert here with the Raleigh Mandolin
Club. He will finish the tour of the
Hickory Nuts and return to work
here.
Clean, all the way through, and
entertaining, was the general verdict
of the house last night. The nuts
have a show that is snappy from the
word go and it is continuous from
the time O'Hay steps on the plat
form until the gang" is presented to
say good night in ensemble.

Apportion Taxes
Same as Insurance
Would Prevent Perplexine
Question Arising in Sales,
Saws Tribune Reader

Lewis Phillips in a letter addressed
to the Real Estate Editor Of The
Tribune says he believes that taxes on
realty should be apportioned the same
as insurance, mortgage interest or
rents. He says that such a plan would
prevent the perplexing question that
arises with the sale Of real estate as to
who shall pay the taxes which become
due on May /. Mr.. Phillips's letter
reads as follows: .-.
"At this time Of the year there is
always a very aggravating condition
arising when making contract for the
sale of realty, which is who shall pay
the taxes which become due on May l p
With the ordinary time allowed for
seaching title this question is particu-
larly pertinent now.
"The matter has within the last few
years been somewhat simplifed be-
cause Of the semi-annual instead of as
formerly full year taxes due.
"Now, why not go one better and
make taxes apportioned for the whole
year, the same as insurance, mortgage
interest or rents when these exist.
"The taxes are paid for the fiscal
year commencing with the calendar,
January /, and the amount, while not
definitely ascertainable because the tax
rate lacks confirmation by the Board
nevertheless approximately learnable,
because the assessed valuation is avail
able as early as the October preceding.
"The slight amount of give and
take on passing of title lowing to the
change of the tax rate) can be ar
ranged for by holding a small sum,
pending the ascertainment of the def
mite amount, when the proper adjust
ment could be made, the same principle
applying now when a Croton water
charge or other small item is unknown
definitely.
Such move would remove much
dicke ring"

For Long Island City
Building To Be Erected to Oc.
cupy an Entire Block at
Degnon Terminal

The American Chicle Company has
bought through M. & L. Hess, from the
Degnon Realty and Terminal Improve
ment Company the entire block on the
Degnon terminal, bounded by Tomp-
son and Mott avenues, Mount and Man
~ streets, Long Island City, a plot
20Ox600 This block adjoins the Amer.
lean Ever Ready Works and the plot
recently sold to the White Company
of Cleveland, on which a building is
to be erected for the manufacture of
motor trucks.
The American Chicle Company will
begin at once the erection of a large
factory from plans by Ballinger &
Perrot, for the Adams brands of chew
ing gum.
The land has been held by the own
ers' at 100000 and the amount in
volved in the operation, together with
the building, will be about 100000.
locate on the Degnon terminal within
the last year, and is indicative of the
demand for property close to Manhat-
tan having terminal facilities together
with easy access for labor at Single
five cent fare
The new building will be of rein
forced concrete throughout, having
concrete walls with inlaid tile decora-
tlons. The ceiling heights will be four
teen feet; the pier and column spacing
twenty feet centre to centre in both
directions, with flat ceilings and larg-
est practicable window areas. There
will be an interior courtyard, 4Ox3So
with an opening through the rear end
OF the first story for the entrance of
the railroad sidings, the building on
each side being eighty feet wide, thus
affording good light throughout. 1t will
be subdivided into areas separated by
fire walls, with openings protected by
fire doors, which, in addition to stair
ways in each area, provide ample
emergency exit facilities, these subdi-
visions being made at convenient places
to separate the various processes.
An unusual layout has been made in
that all raw materials coming in either
by railroad or trucks are taken at once
to the top story by elevators or auto
matte conveyors. This enables mate
rlals to be stored and the initial proc
esses performed in the top story, and
the routing of the processes and travel
of the materials SO arranged that au-
tomato gravity conveyors will perform
a large amount of the work usually
done by hand or bV elevators

Real Estate Market News and Comment

owing to the expectation that there
was to be great drop in the price
of steel, if encouraged in all building
commodities, would possibly have the
effect of paralyzing building construc-
tion for the major part of the year.
The Dow Service Daily Building Re-
ports was advised on Saturday, how
over, in order to quench the general
expectation of reduction in mill
present mill price level of S1.90 a bar
rel, for the zone supplying this mar
ket, was not to be changed and that
the present 20 cents rebate on empty
bags would not be disturbed for thirty
days. The manufacturers new price
on Jute plaster sacks effective month
ago becomes operative on the general
market delivered price of various plas-
ters tomorrow, when neat wall cement
in cloth bags will be $20.30 a ton, lath
mortar, $15.05; brown mortar, also at
$15.O5; finishing plaster at $24 a ton,
with rebate on bags at Is cents in
stead of 80 cents.
To accentuate the situation still fur
ther the entire New York building in
dustry faces a still further delay in
full construction work with possible
attendant price advances of common
brick. The brick barge men, operating
separately from the union harbor boat
men, have insisted upon the recogni-
tion of the eight-hour workday new
charge for trimming and watching,
loading and unloading, and have threat
ened to stop work tomorrow if their
demands are not met. Brick manu-
facturers say that if these concessions
are given the men very sharp advances
in the price of common brick will re-
suit. There is practically no unsold
brick on the wholesale market here to-
day, and the dealers have possibly
eleven million brick in their yards,
barely enough for ten days supply. In
cidentally the dealers of New York,
owing to the harbor strike, have only
about ten days supply of cement on
hand and are riding it from cars on
the New Jersey side of the river. This
is true also of several other basic
building commodities.
The prospects of a free building
movement until it is firmly established
that temporary building loans can be
freely obtained are decidedly remote,
and without free construction mar
ket the increasing demand is not only
making for higher rents and longer
leases, but also for higher costs of
construction and higher costs for the
production of building materials. The
question of building costs is rapidly
passing from that of size of the pay
envelope that is handed to the skilled
artisan on the building job, but rather
to finding the man who viii! accept the
pay of the departing alien laborer
whose Willingness to work at low pay
made it possible fer the investing
builder to put up his structure cheap
er in New York than anywhere else in
the country.
