BUILDING BOOM is ON.

1t has been stated that the pio-
neer bank of Albuquerque, the
First National, stands ready to
to erect at once a modern building
commensurate with its needs inst
as soon as the management has
confidence that prices of material
will not advance beyond present
figures. Plans were formulated
when the cost would have been but
half as much as at present, but
still the work will be started as
soon as it is established that pres
ent estimates are sufficient. Such
Undertaking would be q signal to
others to build.
Lumber men consider a recent
announcement by Edward Hines,
at the head of a large lumber COM
pany, to the trade, that lumber
would not advance in price during
the next six months, as the first
reliable indication of stability. The
Weyerhauser company, on the Pa
clfic coast, announced a reduction.
put when the Raldridge companv
OF Albuquerque wired an order for
several car loads, the coast COM
pahy declined acceptance and stat
cd there could be no early relief
expected, However, the coast sit
uation may be due to the scarcity
of cars in the northwest
That building is going on all over,
the country in increased volume
has been made apparent by the
federal trasury departments an
houncement based on the answers
to missionaries sent to reserve
bankers, that building operations
on an unprecedented scale will get
under way in the early spring. If
people can hold out for a few
months longer there may be a num-
Der OF new houses available for
tenancy. Moreover, any consider
able addition to the dwellings on
the market will be a blow to profit
teering landlords and it viii be fol-
lowed by a decline in rents.
1t was inevitable that the high
prices which are being paid for
homes should lead to a building
boom. The astonishing thing is
that there was less building last
summer. The rehson given for
refraining from erecting houses
was that the price of materials was
too high. But automobiles, dia-
monds and furs also showed big
advances; yet this did not dissuade
people from buying them in nm

Wcll Shot Produces Oil.

Pennington Times: Showings at
the Mesa Verde oil well, this side

threw water and mud all over the

well, considerable oil and water
was baied out Monday about so

PROPERTY RIGHTS OF WOMEN

Following the expected giving of
the ballot to women in New Mex
leo, there is certain to be a dis
cussion of statutory provisions con-
corning their rights in property.
There win be champions of the
new voters and some readjustment
along more liberal lines will be
asked, similar to those made in
many other states. Conferences
with attorneys supplies the infor-
nation that the principal conf
plant of inequality arises from a
decision by the supreme court of
the state that woman's interest
in community property was a mere
expectancy. That is to say, that
she had no vested right in a por-
ton of the property which she and
her husband acquired during mar
riage as a result Of their joint eff
forts.
This was held by the supreme
court of New Mexico in the case of
Reade VS.. Lea. ii New Mexico, 442,
although that decision was after
ward reversed by the supreme
court of the United States, 22O, L.
S. 81.
The supreme court of this state
had consistently followed the the
DRY that woman had no right in
the community property which
was vested in her and so it came
about the supreme court decided
that proof of the infidelty of the
wife, authorized the court in grant
ing a decree to forfeit the right Of
the wife to her share of the COM
munity property and this view
was upheld in several cases. But
in a recent case the supreme court
has expressly reversed the cases
which so held and it is now estab-
lished, in so far as the law and the
decisions Of the courts can estab-
fish 1t, that a wOman's interest in
the community property is a vested
one; that is to say, a wife is the
owner of one-half of the property
acquired during the existence Of
the community, other than by de.
scent or gift, ana it is hers in any
and all events.

However she cannot dispose Of
her share of the community prop
erty by will, as by the specific pro-
vision of Section $40 of the Laws
Of New Mexico. Upon the death
OF the wife the entire community
property without administration
belongs to the surviving hus-
band
But not so with the husband as
the law provides likewise that upon
the death of the husband, "Ona-
half Of the community property
goes to the surviving wife and the
other half is subject to the testa-
mentary disposition of the hus-
band"
These statutes mean in plain
words that a wife cannot DISPOSE
OF her share of the community
property by will and it is only hers
while she is alive. She has no
voice in what becomes of it after
she is dead. She cannot leave it
N'''iHi 'Hr VI III any way as
pose of it; it belongs to her hus-
band when she dies.
When he dies, however. the hus-
band can lawfully make a will in
winch he would not be required nv
law to leave her or his children anv
part Of his share of the community
property, He can dispose of his
property as he sees fit.
During the life time of both
husband and wife the husband has
the sole control of all the personal
property of the community and
the husband has the sole mower of
disposition Of the personal prom
erty of the community as he has
OF his separate estate. That is. II
is not necessary to have his wife,g
signature to any sale of personal
property nor her consent and
while they are living together she
cannot prevent his disposinr of
the property.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-03-10

The main objection to giving q
wife control over community prom
erty personally is that ii interfercs
with business credits. AS late as
l9lf the whole matter was dis
cussed between committees of both
branches of the New Mexico legis-
lature and the law committee of
the bar association. The result
was decision not to make a
change in the statute.
1t is claimed that if the wife
had right to convey by will an
interest in community propertv.
or in which children could claim
by inheritance as her heirs after
her death, a husband could get no
real credit if he were engaged Il,
mercantile business, and upon tho
death of the wife the business must
be suspended.
since 1915 the law has required
that no transfer or MORTGAGE Of
real estate shall be valid unless
the wife signs the deed. Prior Ia
.hat time the law did not require
the signature of the wife to anv
mortgage or conveyance of real es-
tatc' excepting as to the homestead
occupied and used by the husband
ana wiie and he could not sell the
furniture or household goods or
clothing of the wife or any children
without the written consent of the
wife. '"e

STORING UP VITAL ENERGY
Without Process That Goes on During
the Hours of Slumber Life Could
Not Continue.

Following is from Practical Thera-
peutics by Henry Lindlahr, M. D.:
During sleep the liberation of vital
energy in the body continues as dur
ing the wakeful hours of active work.
but none is expended. The body acts
as a storage battery. A reserve of
vital energy is thus accumulated for
the work of the following day.
"The moment consciousness wakens
and mental activity begins the expend-
iture of vital force commences.
ut is for these reasons that nothing
can take the place of sleep as a re-
storer of vital energy. No amount OF
food and drink no tonics or stimulants
can make good for lost Sleep"
