In tcent address before an or

Calder said:
"It is truism of political economy
that the land or home owner is the
foundation on which the political sta
bility of the nation is founded. The

France is the fact that nearly so per
cent of its population is interested
in the land as owners thereof. Their

in their own homes from which noth-

the United States in similar condl-

remains on the land or in the con-

DEALER PREDICTS
BIG BUILDING BOOM
Most Active in Years Here
and Throughout Country,
Mr.. Rheem's Belief.

Prospects for the most active sea-
son of building in the recent history
of construction in the District OF CO.
Iumbia are seen by Edmund u. Rheem
of Swartzeli. Rheem & Hensey, who
expressed the belief that building ac-
tivity throughout the entire country,
as well as i'll the National Capltal' WIN
be greater this season than for many
years.
with the backbone of winter ap-
nareutIv broken" Mr.. Rheem sara,
"Washinpton builders are looking Tor
ward toward spring and making 'nelt
plans on a larger scale than ever De
fore, and if indications are confirmed,
next summer will witness not only
the most active construction cam
paign in the Capital city, but through
out the whole country. Reports from
the west verify this belief. in that op-
erations are already under way m
many of the larger cities. ana the
plans of large operations in New
York, Philadelphia and the important
seaboard towns reveal the magnitude
OF contemplated housing and business
projects.
Needs of Washington.
'Probably in no other city is there
such a real reason for these enter
prises as is evidenced in Washington
population by the recent war actlN-
tiles Contrary to somewhat gem
eral belief a great majority of the
newcomers to the city have remained,
and the gap left by those who have
returned to their respective homes
has been almost completely hlied by
the opening of new branches of the
government and the establishment OF
executive departments of important
national corporations permanently in
the capital
The editor of the Nations Business
expresses this belief when he writes:
washington has become more than a
seat of government: it has become one
of the great national CenterS of bUsi-
ness The war was not an Interrupt
ton 1t brought into being new or
der. Business has been drawn to-
gether. integrated, nationalized and a
great part of its direction will con-
ital.'
with this increased demand for
housing facilities, and the prospect
for continuation of this demand. build
ers have realized that the future of
the city is determined. and that their
best efforts must be guided by the
necessity of adequately accommodate
ing this large population by the con-
struction of new houses and apart
ments. The reluctance to begin. here
tofore shown by some operators on
account of the high cost of material
and labor. has been wiped away by
the continuation of the Increased
prices. and the belief that the new
scale of wages and rental rates is here
to stay. The augmented production of
many factories which are manufacture
ing the products necessary for home
building assures the needed supply
and the ever-increasing demand for
the finished article promises a ready
market.

Opening of New Tracts.

with these attributes on an estab-
lished footing we may look for the
opening of many outlying tracts of
ground near the city into subdivisions
of attractive homes, the plans for the
Improvement of many having already
been announced. Along with the de-
velopment will com g the Improvement
of many of the large lots still vacant
in the cityproper by handsome apart
ments. which are always in demand.
and which form such an important
part of the quarters of Washington's
official population.
zone of the largest factors which
will greatly aid in this necessary
work is the ever-increasing dema nd
for investment in first mortgages.
which has been partially brought
about by the great losses sustained
in speculative investm ents in the war
time and post wartime markets. The
money available for this sort of Sc
curity is becoming more and more
plentiful every day, for it not only
represents a safe form of investme ent
for the lender but also is the vital fac
tor in the upbuilding OF the com
munity. SO that the investor with civic
pride can observe his money perform
ing a double function.
$50 with the coming of spring we
may confidently look forward to the
erection of an increasing number of
substantial homes and apartments in
washington on a scale which will far
outstrip anything we have seen in
this city in a great many years"

IS Executions In
Army During War
Ten Put to Death in France;
twenty-five in the u. S.

The annual report of Maj. Gen.
Enoch CrOwder, Judge advocate gener-
al of the army, was given out a short
time ago, and with it there was made
public for the first time an official sum-
mary of the capital cases occurring
in the army since April 5, 1917, the be-
ginning of the war period.
Death penalties were adjudged in
145 cases from that date to June 80
1919, and execution was consummated
in 35 cases-ten in France and % in
the United States. Murder was charged
in two of these cases, murders and mu-
tiny in 10. assault in II, and assault
and murder in three.
SIN no case" according to the re-
port, twas a capital sentence for a
purely military offense carried into ex-
ecution."
General Crowder made no specific
reference to the attack upon his ad-
ministration by former Brigadier Gen
eral Ansell, but in an appendix gave
detailed statistics covering military
courts martial.

Twice as Much PeItry Is Being
Worn This Season.
Three Quarter Coat Still Favorite
With Young Girls-NoVelties in
Sport Models.

Handsome furs for mid-winter wear
are being featured at all the exclusive
furriers and reports say that there
are nearly twice as many furs being
purchased this season as last. On the

glimpses fur coats and scarfs that are
truly magnificent. Indeed to be fash
be fur clad or at least fur trimmed" ;"
Even hats are distinguished by bits
of fur, while some ingenious milliners
have fashioned entire hats from the
skins of animals.
For the ''jeunne file" the half or
three-quarter coat is still favored.
Those young girls who did not pur-
chase coats of this type late last sea-
son when they were first introduced,
are busy shopping now for this pop
ular model Sometimes these sport
coats are belted, but more often they
fall in a graceful flare from the throat
to the hips. Taupe squirrel is a hap
py choice for the younger set with
Hudson seal as a close rival.
Another sport model recently seen
at fur shop was made exclusive be-
cause leopard skin allied itself with
French seal. The top of the coat was
of leopard II inches deep with bor-
der of seal the same depth. The
sleeves featured the same combina-
tion and as a final touch of cache
there was deep collar of seal and a
narrow belt of leopard.
Nutria and beaver are we'll liked by
many women and shown often in two
tones of the same fur. For instance,
a seven-eighth-length coat of nutria
was collared, cuffed and bordered
with nutria of a darker shade.
For the large matron there is a
gorgeous cape of broadtail fringed at
the bottom. A chinchilla collar added
to the warmth at the throat and the

In the lining, upon the left-hand side,

slipped and upon either side of this
pocket there are loops Of narrow elas-
tic for holding bodkins, large needles,

Of the case forms a large pocket that
is useful for holding various little

darning wool, thimble, and possibly

In the center four leaves of flan-
mel, cut into points at the edges, are
sewn for the needles.

Use Ingenious Methods to
Determine if Unmatched Egg
Contains Male or Female

Probably as a result Of the late Dan
LenO's researches, the breakfast egg
is usually regarded as a seXless indi-
vidual, yet were it possible to deter
mine such a point on its entry into
this world, the poultry market would
be increased tenfold.
Some people contend that one can
od of determining this is the follow
ing: Hold the egg with three fingers
of the left hand towards the sun or
gas light. Shade the point of the egg
with the right hand and look for the
ali space or setting" a dark spot
about the size of a threepenny bit,
says London Answers. If this is found
at the top of the egg, it is male, but
if found lower down on the SIDE it is
a female.
A method employed by an Australian
poultry farmer is ingenious, though
rather elaborate He places a two-shili
ing piece on a table, threads q fine
sewing needle with a piece of cOtto"
and holds the cotton in one hand SO
that the point Of the needle is ranging
just over the center of the florin. In
his other hand he takes the egg and
holds this Immediately above the cot
ton. If the chicken inside is a cock
erel the point of the needle swings
from side to side above the coin, like
a pendulum. If the chicken is pullet
the needle swings in circular motion
round the coin

FEED TO INCREASE
EGG PRODUCTION

1t is the practice of large percent
age of the most successful poultry men
to feed part of the daily grain ration
ground. Most of them feed the ground
grain mCistened with either milk or
water, although some feed it dry. A
fowls gizzard is capable of grinding
all kinds of grain, but it is generally
considered to be more economical to
have part of the grinding done by
steam or water power.
The soft-feed idea, however, must
not be overworked, says an authority.
Hens like ground feed better when it
is moistened than when dry. AL
though full fed on dry mash and grain
they will eat little bit more of moist
mash. For this reason many poultry
keepers give light feed of moistened
mash once a day to increase egg pro-
duction. When handled right it is
very effective.
beginner often reasons that 1t Is
Arizona state miner., 1920-01-03

cheaper for the miller than for the
IoWl to grind the grain; but the pow
erful muscles of the gizzard are there
to be used, and experience has shown
that the balance of power of functions
IN the fowls economy makes the Wig
orous exercise of the gizzard bene-
ficial. When feeding moistened ground
feed have it comparatively dry,
crumbly mash, and not a thin slop.
Give what they will eat readily in
15 or 20 minutes.

One of the characteristic and invit-

thing more than a national pastime.
This may be seen from the fact that
