Some people think that sanction
ing polygamy by law would do
much good in England. There are
not enough men to 90 round. so
they say. Therefore. why not por-

This would put the expenses of the

not upon the state.

Noted B0tanists Are Called
to Settle Hedge Controversy

!. Cheyenne, Wyo.. Nov. 2l.-Noted
botanists from institutions of learn
ing in the effete east have been
called here to decide whether the
six-block hedge around City park is
barberry or tartarian iloneysuckle.
Agents of the department of agri-
culture from Washington, declaring
that the hedge was barberry and a
prolific breeder of black stem rust,
destructive to wheat, ordered the
hedge destroyed.
Henry Altman, who laid out the
park and superintended the build
ing of the hedge a decade ago,
claims it is tartarian honeysuckle
and is waging a spirited campaign
to have the civic improvement re-
tanned.

Golden West Is Crying for Homes
Sections of the Pacific Coz which
have been VIGOROUSLY overDuit are
now crying for homes, homes and still
more homes, and the once surfeited
subdivision market is gradually being
absorbed by the steadily increasing
demand for building lots. And the
reason for this condition Is obvious,
when one takes into consideration that
the housing condition must inevitably
absorb the present available supply.
During the way we fell about two
and one-half years behind in our na-
tional building program. The present
demand far exceeds the supply. The
cry throughout the country is insist

Reflection upon a homcly bit Of
philosophy encountered some few years
ago in mid W estern town gives one,
perhaps, something of m insight into
the present situation regarding vacant
properties. Folks aIn't going to buy
lots when houses are going begging for
half what they're worth"
Nothing that can remember defines
more clearly the subdivision conditions
of the United States at the time we
entered the Wor War. Houses were
going begging. For Rent signs were
rampant and the supersaturatcd sub
division market was nearly stagnant
A perfectly natural condition, too,
when one considers the principle of
supply ana demand. The country had
actually been fed more houses than it
required and many times more lots
than building operations could readily
absorb.
Tide Is Now Running Other Way
The pendulum is swinging backward
now, gradually at first, but gaining
momentum as it proceeds, A letter Oh
my desk this morning from an opera

indicative Of the change.
Never in the history of this coun-
tly has there been much real estate
activity as to-day. The house market
is exhausted, farms are going Ike hot
cakes and the lot business is picking
up so fast that We have had to double

requirements of Modern Concerns
Looking at these comparatively re
cent developments and realizing the
increased power Of the forces Of ex-
pansion now at work, it does not re
a ire very active mag nation to
.oresee what is likely to happen in the
next generation. Where in 1900 the
rental of 10000 square feet to d sing.e
tenant Was considered notable lease
New-York tribune., 1919-12-28

inquiries are now frequently mnde for
10000 to 100000 square feet. and in
one case a single tenant has recently
been negotiating for 100000 square

square feet each. is leasing it's entire
building on the basis of one tenant to
d floor In the uptown district build.
ings covering entire blocks Of 10000
square feet are being promoted but
that is another story. No such build
ing can be erected downtown, as large
sites are not now available.
There was n time, some years ago
when the continued prosperity of the
downtown district seemed to be threat
cned by the so-callcd uptown move
ment, but the recent heavy invest
ments by large institutions now as
sure the permanence of the lower sec
ton as the location Of the important
financial and business concerns. Wit
ness the enlargement Of the Stock Ex-
change, the purchase of almost an en-
tire block at Nassau and Liberty
streets and Maiden Lane as site for
the Federal Reserve Bank and of sew
eral large office buildings by various
banks and corporations.
When it is realized that "downtown"
has successfully maintained it's su-
premacy in the face of the tremendous
uptown" development, practically all
OF which has come since the opel.i..p
Of the subways of 1904, that it has
seen tenants occupying thousands
of feet of space remove 20 the new
uptown centers, and yet has not only
filled the gaps but is now unable to
meet the demands upon it, the funda-
mental strength Of the old business
dist.ct will be understood and an
preciatcd.
ffoh.able investments Possible Now
Surveying thus the wonderful de.
velopment of so short q period as
twenty-five years and considering the
increased ratio of expansion due to
that deve.o .opment, wise investors Will
see that the days of profitable in
vestmcnt in New York real estate have
not passed Good opportunities are
as plentiful as ever. Existing build
ings win bring larger and more as
sured returns than ever before and the
speculative possibilities in the pur-
chase Of sites for future Improvement
