MAKE OLD SHOES
WEAR LIKE NEW

Il had Ne0lin Soles put on my
shoes-wore these shoes every day for
fifteen months, then had Ne6in half
soIes put on. They are still in good
condition, writes +. 7. Evans, of
Seattle, Washington.
This is cutting shoe bills down to the
minimum through Ne0lin Soles ANY
one can do this if he will follow Mr..
Evans example. and have his shoes
re-bottomed with Nc0lin SoIes. These
tough, durable soles cost no more
than soles that give only ordinary
wear. And all good repair shops have
them.

HOME OWNING IS URGED
S. w. Straus, New York Banker,
Recommends It as Bulwark
Against Bolshevism.

Real estate and financial interests
are urged to give all possible encour-
agement to homecoming at this time,
by 8. w. Straus, prominent banker
of New York.
Mr.. Straus says it is estimated that
there is need in America today for
not less than 100000 new homes.
While the cost of building home is
higher today than it was prior to the
war;" he says, there is every indica-
tion that rentals will continue to rise,
while the prices of building materials,
with the tremendous amount of con-
struction work Immediately ahead.
cannot be expected to reach much
lower levels than the present
widespread and successful home
owning activitieS in the United States
this spring would do more to alleviate
social unrest and build a bulwark
against the encroachments of boil
shevism than any other single de-
velopment. Men who own their own
homes have sense of stability. an
appreciation of property rights and a
respect for the orderly processes of
society that preclude the possibil-
tiles OF their being misled by any
fanatical or over-radical influences,
"Home-owning is constructive

OF our wartime economies there are
millions of Americans today who, for

Large amount of capital and unin-

An attempt is being made to analyze

OF stablizing it as it exists in the
District of Columbia at the present

turers' Exchange. The fundamental
question. Does the need for new con-
struction actually exist?" is being
asked by the members of the ex-
change. .
Il. H. Mealy, secretary of the ex-
change, has addressed letter to the
various labor organizations, builders
and real estate men in the city, calling
their attention to the present situa-
In which the question of whether or
not constructions is needed is asked.

Also an effort ia being made through
this canpaign for, the purpose of
bringing labor and the builders closer
today. It is planned, If it is shown
that construction Is needed, to reach
some agreement with the individual
labor organizations whereby they will
work at regular scale.
1t is pointed out in this bulletin that
investigation among the real estate
men, architects, etc, reveals the fact
that the need for new construction
does exist. 1t is stated the real estate
men report that there is an insistent
demand for residences from persons
who want a good house, willing to
pay q good price, want it already built
and open for inspection. but 90 not
want to build it themselves. Such a
house, it Is declared, is not available
in Washington today.

Continuing. the bulletin says:

sketches. but completed plans of
buildings of all descriptions. ranging
from small garages to large Office
Admitting the above facts. the nat
ural second question is, Why don't

'"rhe answer we all know, viz: The
owner, operator, financial interests.

contemplated projects are launched

standard Of values two or three years

!ze the local building situation: Since
II Is estimated that about 65 per cent
OF the cost of construction is labor,
then pubic announcement on the
part of labor to the effect that the
1918 scale of wages will prevail till
April 1, 1920. would do more to stimu-
late building than any other action
that could possibly be taken: the ma
terial dealers and material manufac-
turers agree to put their products on
the market at the lowest possible
price and announce the fact publicly:
the contractors in turn agree to fis-
ure tie very minimum at which they
can take and complete a contract,
and make public announcement of
such action.
See Need Of Teamwork.
we believe that unselfish team
work now will reduce the cost of con-
struction to point where the owner
ana investor will consider it profit
pect to build at pre-war prices but
he does insist upon knowing what his
building will cost completed, not what
1t will cost started.
we need only concern ourselves
with the Immediate building outlook,
and deyise ways and means to get
onto the market the volume of work
we know to be here, and sufficient to
tide over this reconstruction period.
To this end. contractors, material
dealers and labor may well get to-
gether and talk man to man, their in
terests are identical.
Show the investor that he can build
in Washington now to better advantage
than by waiting and being caught in the
inevitable rebound, when construction
work all over the country to the value
OF millions (stopped on account of the
war; will be resumed.
The future building outlook in the
United States was never more encour-
aging. the critical period is right now.
Take care of that and the future will
look out for itself"
Conference Is Suggested.
Suggestion is made by the Builders
and Manufacturers' Exchange, in the
bulletin. that a conference be held in
the immediate future when a central
committee, representing all of the inter-
ests concerned. will be appointed. This
committee will be instructed to draw up
and put into operation a definite plan Of
action to the end that build now" NAV
become an accomplished fact.
The contractors, material dealers and
various crafts. to whom the bulletin has
been sent, are urged TO submit the plan
to their organizations for consideration.
