WHEN the honeymoon plans had been

had been very much in evidence helping
them plan, but when friend of Keith's
father. Theron Burford, had offered his
Adirondack camp, Keith had jumped at
the idea and had settled matters before
Barbara had chance to object.
II don't want to go anywhere where
there are other people," Keith had said
firmly, with a decision that left Barbara
no chance to argue. II want to be alone
with y,u." he had added with that sud-
G5u lowering Of the voice that indicated
s,rOug feeling. and Barbara, with the

when she was alone, and had time to
think matters out clearly, she remem-
bered that the Burford's camp was a
luxurious place, there were bathrooms
and servants. and 1t would not be 80 bad.
But when they arrived, Barbara found
there only one servant, man at that.
The place had been made comfortable.

tired out after the long trip was not dis

possible to bring only her hand lug
gage and cne small trunk from the sta
tlon that evening, and the fact that the
small trunk held only her camping
clothes, did not strike her as queer until
she discovered the next day that Keith
had ordered the other trunks held. This
fact made her angry. 1t was the first
time in her life that any one had dared
TO interfere with her plans. Keith had
routed her out OF bed shortly after day
break, and Barbara, who was used TO
sleeping until 10 and II in the morning,
had struggled slecpingly out Of bed and
had eaken a well-cooked breakfast almost
in silence avoiding Keith's eyes across
the small table which had been spread on
the wide Veranda
After her second cup Of coffee she was
disposed 10 be more agreeable, and even
essayed a smile across the table. Secretly

An UnWarranted Lull
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

The real estate market is quiet There has been COM
parayely little buying selling of homes for some weeks
past The condition is general it is felt in all real es
tate offices. .... I
The contributory to this slack at time of year
when home buying usually approaches the height OF Its
activity hard to definitely discover The causes are
several rather than single.
There is little question but that the activities of the
Rent Commission have had dampenng effect on the real
estate business This particularly true with reference to
the investment property market Not knowing what return
they will be allowed upon certain property investors are
loath to purchase real estate
Likewise tenants in rented property are not buying
homes of their because of belief only seldom true
that they obtain from the commission considerable
reduction in their rent that renting becomes cheaper
than homecoming There is little doubt but that this be-
lief will gradually disappear little less doubt that the Rent
Commission itself is anxious that it should disappear
II is doubtful the high cost contributes to the dulness
of the real estate market Perhaps some prospective buy
who indications of lower cost level in other COM
modties believe that real estate and homes will also be
cheaper in the future. But the majority knows that
land has advanced little in price during the past five years
and that the cost of finished home has increased only in
proportion to the increases paid labor Materials are
higher true but the increase is due in great measure
to the increased wages paid material makers There is
little hope for lower wage SCALE everyone knows and
consequently little hope for lower costs in the real
tate market
The real estate only temporary lul in
the market They right Conditions will gradually
right themselves buyers will that there is nothing to be
gained emporzng and the buying and selling of homes
will 60 In Washington the real estate business must
90 on The city needs 10000 homes The coming sum-
should witness the greatest building and selling activity
ever When the public begins to realize that present
real estate values permanent they the real
estate business will boom

often high costs complained of are
attributed to labor.
Selecting Chicago as an extreme ex-
ample, / applied to the Federal Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics for the facts
as to labor cost. / was informed that
the average wage paid to workers in
nine of the main trades in the build
ing industry, including both skilled
and unskilled labor, was 62 cents per
hour in July, 1914. In July, 1919, IT
was SO cents per hour, average, or an
advance of Al per cent.
But during that period the whole
sale prices of building materials had
advanced an average of 200 per cent
1t is fair to the worker to remem-
Der that in this period his living costs
had increased around 100 per cent, so
that he was in nowise better of

since 1914 has been and continues
more steady.

showed a firm tone. Little activity
occurred in the Standard Oil group.
Carib Syndicate displayed a heavy
tone soon after the opening and fell

firmer tone toward the close. Mid
west Refining was in fair demand
and improved about two points.
Simms Petroleum changed hands
within a small fraction of last
weeks closing. Producers and Re-
finers was one of the heavy features,
selling down to AZ.
Industrial issues were generally
well maintained and some stocks in
that group made advances. Meteor
