STAR OF BURLESQUE
WANTS LEGAL CAREER
Margaret White Fitting Herself
for Law Practice,

Whether Miss Margaret White.

Hurtig's show, Girls of the u. 8. A."
this weeks attraction at the Gayety
Theater. can achieve as great a sue
cess as a Portia at the bar as she
has in several branches of the
theatrical profession Is question
that is causing speculation and in
terest among burlesque patrons along
the Columbia circuit where Miss
White has long been a favorite.
Miss White let II be known today
that next fall she will enter the
senior class in the law school Of Syra-
cuse University with fond hopes of
graduating the following spring. She
has made announcement at all of the
theaters where Hurtig's splendid or
ganization has played this season
and is confident of including among
her first legal clientele the stars of
the show world whom she has known
for the last five years.
1t was a unique circumstance which
induced Miss White to undertake the
study of law. Several years ago,
while the show with which she was
then connected, was playing an en-
gagement at Syracuse she was at
tracted to a case in circuit court
where a producer was suing star
In order to compel the latter TO keep
a contract to perform at his theater.
Miss Whites sympathies were with
the performer but that was as far
she got. She heard the Judge enjoin
the performer from singing elsewhere
than at the theater where she had
contracted to play. Miss White re-
GREETED that she was not Portia then.
in order to fight the battles of her
fellow workers.
Two years of hard study have al
most fitted Miss White to take her
place among the women barris-
ters of her native State. When she
Is admitted she proposes to make a
study of Juvenile delinquency laws in
order to render assistance to poor
mothers and dependent children. In.
the night court in New York Miss
White Is frequent visitor, her
sympathy being enlisted in behalf of
the unfortunates who contribute to
the daily grind of Justice in the
metropolis.
Miss White, for three years a star
in burlesque, has pursued her law
studies without interruption. She is
an ardent champion of the cause of
women's rights and believes the next
generation will witness the complete
Acknowledgement of womankind so
far as all laws and customs are con-
ccrned. She made her stage debut
in vaudeville and had previously ap-
peared often on the concert stage.

THE HAVOC OF STORMS

This section of the valley was hit
hard by han on Monday of this
week and to some things looked dis
couraging, but most OF the farmers
look on the bright side of things and
are undaunted by the devastation.
Most of them realize that no matter
where the place there are times when
the winds blow and the hail comes
and floods destroy so this section of
the country is, after all, little differ
ent from other places. Some dam
age from the elements is liable to
come no matter where one lives.
Farmers in this county have been
pushing things admirably this seas
on and a close observer remarked re-
Gently that farming is in much
hetter condition than it has ever
been here and that he has noticed
that the farmers in general had made
a wonderful improvement in their
methods ever recent years, even a
very noticeable change being made oy-
er the season previous. With farm
ing going on as it has started out this
season the elements, only, would be
the cause OF failure and with the de-
termined spirit that prevails even
much of the havoc played by storms
will be overcome.

THE HOUSING QUESTION

Town real estate will not be re-
duced any over what it is at pres
ent, according to every indication.
There are not enough residence prop
critics in any OF the towns through
out the country to accommodate the
demands, nor is there liable to be,
very soon. enough to take care of the
people. 1t is very probable that
there will be demand for houses
Just little ahead of the new ones
under construction for several years
to come. Building materials are not
going to go much, if any, below what
they are at present. Labor costs will
probably be reduced little but as a
whole there is no likelihood of old
time prices prevailing.
War time prices have gone and the
present realty values will be apt to
remain. In Ordway the supply is
much below the demand and there is
no apparent relief.

CONSTRUCTION FELL
OFF LAST MONTH
Tune Contracts Were 6 P. C.
Less Than Mays, Although
Greater Than in April.

Construction activity in June, accord
Ing to figures published by the F. w.
Dodge Company, was per cent. less
than in May, although it was greater
than in April. Contracts awa>ed dur
ing June IN the twenty-seven northeast
ern States Of the country amounted to
s227711,OOo.
Those sections in which labor trou-
bles have been most pronounced were
the ones In which decreased building
activity was evident. Furthermore, the
latter half Of June showed up more
strongly than the first half The two
facts seem to indicate that the small
decline in June was only a temporary
setback. Included In the June total
were the following items $75,175,00o
or 33 per cent. for residential buildings;
$50, ,967, 900, or 23 per cent, for public
works and utilities: s25,493.000, or IL
per cent, for business buildings: s23,-
AL. 900. or 10 per cent, for educational
buildings, and s1s.502,000, or per cent.
for Industrial plants.
The first half of this year has shown
up quite favorably In comparison with
previous years. From January l to
July / the total amount of contracts
awarded has been s1,066,25s,o 900. This
figure Is ~ per cent. greater than the
average semi-annual total for the pre-

Frank Fox, third vice-president of
the Realty Associates in Brooklyn. re-
ports the sale Of more property in the
first half of the current year than dur
ing the similar period of last year or
the year 1919. In discussing yesterday
the business done by Realty Associates
during the last six months Mr.. Fox
said
1.-THE common impression seems to be
that the real estate market to-day is
quiet. as compared with the market for
the first six months of the years 1919
1920. That this opinion is somewhat
erroneous is evinced by the fact that
we actually have sold in Brooklyn dur
ing the last six months more property
than we sold in the first six months OF
the years 1919-1920. During the last
six months sales of real estate owned
by the Realty Associates aggregated
$2,259,00O anC included forty-six pri-
vate houses, apartment houses. Ave
stores and lrtments, ten business
properties, theatre and 271 lots.
'The large single property we sold
was the corr of Flatbush avenue ex-
tension and xalb avenue, taking in
the Crescent ieatre and the Thibaut
Wall Paper lding. with a frontage
of 1875 feet Z, Flatbush avenue. This
propery VIII was valued at about

ASPHALT SHINGLES
BECOMING POPULAR
Many Cities Now Require Prepared

Proof Properties.

propensity to stay alive" and not to
harden unduly through loss of volatile
oils. AS compared with other bitumin-
Gus roofings it shows less softening in
hot weather and more pliability during
cold weather. Contraction and expan-
sion under changing weather conditions
have been found to give practically no
trouble and there is little danger Of
cracking and breaking. The introduc-
ton of asphalt into the manufacture of
prepared shingles has made the rapid
advance in the use of the new roofings
possible.
Asphalt shingles are usually manu-
factured of rag or asbestos felt thor
oughy saturated with asphalt. On top
of this is placed a heavy coating Of
harder asphalt which thoroughly wa
terproofs the shingle and into which
while hot Is rolled mineral matter, such
as crushed slate or feldspar, colored
green, gray, red or brown, as desired.
This roofing is much less inflammable
than the wooden shingle and it's use is
now permitted in restricted districts in
which wood shingles are prohibited by
the fire regulations.
When an asbestos felt Is used In the
manufacture of asphalt shingles they
are extremely fire resistant and nom
combustible and take the same rate of
insurance as slate, metal or tile. Slate
weighs from $50 to 800 pounds per 100
square feet, while tile weighs between
$50 and 1900 pounds. The asphalt shin
giles average 220 pounds per 100 square
feet, or about the same weight as that
Of wooden shingles. Prepared roofing
in rolls varies from 35 to 100 pounds.
The asphalt shingles wear for ten or
fifteen years and do not curl or lift
up" blow off the roof or flap in the
wind.
