HOME BUILDERS
Suburban Property Sales Of
Early Summer Show
Trend from City,
MANY SECTIONS GROW
Maryland and Virginia Sub
Divisions Rapidly Spread
ing Out Lately.
MANY SECTIONS GROW

With spring and summer there
always comes the feeling of many
people that they would like to get
out in the open country and live.
This year has been no exception.
according to local real estate men.
who handle suburban properties.
In fact. the lull Of home building
In the city on account Of the high
prices of materials and labor, has
augmented the demand for homes
IN the suburbs.
On all sides of the capital city
where property Is being offered
with generous plot of ground for
garden and plenty Of fresh air
with cool nights there have been
many inquirers. and not few peo-
pie have closed deals for sales.
Subdivisions Numerous.
There are numerous sub-diyis-
ions, both in Virginia and Mary
land, being cut out of what was
once big fields. In Virginia, there
Is North Rosemont, already estab-
lished as growing suburb Of
Alexandria, with numerous sub
divisions between that town and
Washington. West of the Airing
ton Cemetery Alcova Heights is
fast growing into wide streets and
walks. and houses are going up
fast. Near 1t Is Arlington Hills,
another growing suburb.
These sections have all the scon-
veniences of a city. including light
ed roadways.
Outdoors Lure Strong.
North. west and east of WASH
ington houses may be seen going
up rapidly, evidencing a fulfillment
of the desire of the people to get
into the open and away from the
congested centers.
Real estate operators who have
such property on their sales lists
! indicate that much of the. home
buying Is running in this direction
now and they look for contin-
uance well through the summer
months.

sex ard Muscular strenatI,.

Two women graduates of Leland
Stanford university. California, have
been investigating the comparative
muscular strength of men and women.
They have reached the general con-
clusion that any difference that exists
In this matter is not due to sex as
such. but 10 differences in the use of
the muscles, brought about by the
conventional limitations of activity or
by dress. Thus women 5 back muscles
are stronger than mems because their
clothes are largely buttoned in the
back. Certain of their arm muscles
are also stronger. owing 10 the fact
that they do up their hair, and also
because the heavy coat sleeves of men
limit the freedom of action of these
muscles.
On The other hand. the forearm of
men is better developed than that of
women, because women wear tight
sleeves and do not customarily lift
heavy weights.

however, are the dog and the rein

Beginning Of Life insurance.

Life insurance grew out of marine
insurance, for merchants sending
goods by sea in early times usually
accompanied the ship themselves, and
were liable TO capture bX pirates. es-
pecially. by the Moorish and Turkish
pirates who then infested the Mediter-
ranean sea. In order TO provide the
necessary ransom for their release. If
captured, ii became the practice of
travelling merchants TO pay premium
10 certain individuals, called under
writer's. who guaranteed the payment
Of the ransom IN the event Of the mer-
chants being caught. The practice
was gradually extended to inSuring
the lives, first of mariners and then
Of other persons. the underwriters
agreeing, in return for a certain pre-
MUM, to pay fixed amount If the
person insured died within certain
time. Out Of this was evolved the var
lous forms OF contracts of life insur-
ance in use today.
