REALTY DEALS
Ames Avenue Bai|ding With
a Theater Now Expected to
Be a Great
Success.

Amounts involved in real estate
transactions this month will show a
$l,000,000 gain over amounts in
VOWED in January of 1919, according
to local real estate men.
During the past week there were
5000, S26 worth of real estate trans
iers, or gain of $35o,04l over the
same week of a year ago. More
over several deals known to be
negotiated during the latter part of
last week, involving at least $500,000
more, were not recorded in time to
be added to the total for the week.
Almost Doubles 1919.
Thus far in January a total of
81 ,969, 1888 worth of real estate
changed ownership, gain of
$738,440 over the total for the entire
month of January, 1919.
Indirectly the great demand for
real estate is increasing the valuation
of property, real estate men say, for
there would be no demand less the
acquisition of property paid, and
without demand there could be no
increase.
Ames Avenue Theater.
Among activities which have At.
tracted the attention of real estate
men is the announcement that the
Ames Realty corporation, organized
by Eric ]. Hallgren, has begun the
erection of large building on Ames
avenue between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-hfth streets. The building
will contain theater with a seating
capacity of 1900, four store rooms
on the first floor and apartments
on the second and third floors. tx
will be brick and concrete, strictly
modern and cost approximately
100000.
The venture, at first termed some
what Adventurous" due to it's sub
urban location, is now expected to
be a distinct success, as 26 applica-
tions for the four store rooms have
already been received.

A NOBEL PRIZE WINNER.

To the average well-read American the
award Of the Nobel prize for literature
TO Knut Hamsun will come as distinct
shock. By what mischance all these years
has he overlooked the Norwegian writer s
name suddenly TO be humiliated by his
own ignorAnce7 II he subj acts to exami-
nation bis acquaintances who have earned
the reputation of being explorers in the
world of books it may be some consola-
tion 10 find that they are no better IN
formed than he about Ham sun and his
works. Have American publishers done
their duty TO a country whose forests are
rapidly being depleted in the cause Of
literature in sighting an author held
worthy by the Stockholm jury of signal
honors?
In former yearr when the Nobel prize
winners were announced there was no such
assuring to know that they were persons
of worldwide renown, however widely
read. Sully-Prudhomme, Mommsen,
Biornson, MistraI, Echegaray, Sienkiewic.
Carducci, Kiplipg, Paul Won Heyse, Mae

Italian, English or Belgian, for the occa-
sion needed no introduction. Then in
1916 came the crowninR of Werner Held
enstam, the Swede, and after gap of three
years it is now the turn of Knut Hamsun,
the Norwegian. Evidently II Americans
are to keep up with the times they must
pay more attention to the Scandinavian
languages or put the translstors to work.
II is no impeachment Of the judges or

PRESS COMMENTS
TEACHING OF ENGLISH.

A conference was recently held in
London, composed Of American and Brit
ish professors OF English, whose purpose
was to devise ways and means to main-
tain the standard of scholarship In their
common tongue. The conference agreed
that while the daily speech in the two
great Englsh-spcaking countries is not
at all points identical, these distinctive
turns of expression arc rnther welcomed
than regretted by the philologist. II was
however, further agreed that the literary
language remains to all practical intent
one and the same on both sides OF the
Atlantic and ia, in fact, the joint heritage
of the two nations. To keep that literary
language in the proud position 1t has
won for itself with the lapee Of ages was
the underlying motive for holding the
conference.
In such . company Of potent, grave
and reverend signiors land signoras,
too discussion naturally took . wide
range. Much that was cavaire to the
vulgar was said about Anglo-Saxon and
Middle English. Very divergent views
were expressed regarding the threatened
disappearnnce of Greek and Latin from
university programs One OF the British
spokesman put forward the view that
without LATIN our civliizAuOn II cut OH
from its roots and that Greek is the
bread and wine of humanism. Following
up his own metaphor and realizing that
many of his audience were denizens OF a
dry country, he reminded them that
the human spirit, If deprived OF wine, is
apt to have recourse to dangerous drugs
or to very dubious substitutes. On the
other hand, on American delegate took
the stand that Greek is goirg tand Latin
is gone" He did, indeed, look with dis
may upon the prospect Of race Of pro-
fessors of English who had little Latin
and less Greek" but that was the pros
pect and il had TO be faced. A repre-
sentative of one of the American col
leges sturdily championed the tongues of
Athens and Rome, complaining that To
abolish training in these ancient Ian
guages WAS simply TO foetcr the tend-
ency to turn the young mind into kind
of moving picture house.
Taken oil in oil, the discussions were
most interesting and illuminativc and
were maintained on high plane. They
are likely enough to bear good fruit in
developing better methods OF teaching
English in both countries. Admittedly
there is vest room for improvement.--

THE FIR EIGHT CAR.

The railroad companies are trying to
make the freight car do moro work. The
immediate aims are 20 increase tho car
movement 70 30 miles day; 10 more ase
the carload TO 80 tons; and to reduce
the number of bad order" cars to 4
per cent That cars do not move 80 miles
a day seems incredible 20 the man un-
familiar with railroad statistics. But this
is AN average for all cars for all the time.
Most of the time the cars are not moving.
In one month of 1917 all the cars 10
the country averaged % miles day. but
for the year the average was only PSI
Ii fell 10 24.9 and 23.1 in the next two
years under government direction.
study OF this subject by Mr.. l.. +. Loree,
of the Delaware x Hudson, shows that
the typical freight car spends IA weeks a
year on loading and unloading tracks, six
weeks being switched 10 and from these
tracks, two weeks awaiting shipper $
orders, three weeks of idleness because
of arriving on Sundays and holidays five
weeks going through intermediate yards
where trains are broken up and remsde,
end nine weeks on interchange tracks
where freight is transferred from one
track TO smother OF the remaining Is
weeks nearly five are spent IN being re-
~
waiting for lack of tonnsge in the sleek
season. This leaves six weeks, out of
which road delays of all sorts consume
81 days. The unloaded car cannot always
find load for the return trip, which re-
duces the cars normal road movement
under load TO 26 days year.
Progress is being made in increasing the
efficiency Of the freight car. In the week
ending Ortober more than 600 000
loaded freight cars were handled, a con-
siderable increase over the number year
ago and two wears ago at the same date,
and the first time this year that the MIL
lion mark has been passed. For the first
seven months of the year. although there
was switchmeD's strike In April, there
was al increase over last year of III per
cent in net ton miles. and this Is the essen
tisl thing Train miles increased l55 per
cent, loaded car miles increased 1853 per
cent, train load increased IA per cent, and
the carload increased o. per cent. -Phila-

He tried TO ask his way about, but no one

Where being friendless and alone must be

But now that | am here thought he,

The lad poured out his soul to him-'I We
