I recall some years ago the occupants
of two apartments, one over the other.
got at loggerheads. One claimed that
the other moved his furniture back
and forth over his apartment to keep
him awake. About two days later the
other came in.
Clock Causes Eviction.
He said that the man underneath
managed to find out the location of
the room in which the first gentleman
had his bed. Then he attached an
alarm clock to the ceiling above
right under the bed, the alarm being
set so as to sound every half hour
throughout the night. When you
come in contact with people like that
you have to get rid of them"
In the city the vacant lot is one
that should be purchased with a great
deal of care. Sometimes you find a
good value, but as a rule the small
city lot is overvalued. Few people
build single houses. The profitable
thing to do is to build a row of
houses, which can be constructed much
more cheaply. An apartment house
is the cheapest form of housing
known"

WANTED-HOME GARDENS.

From the Cnicago News.
What the newly organized National
Home Garden Association may sue
ceed in accomplishing when it leaves
the office and the armchair for the ac-
tual struggle with the prairie sod
is, Of course, not yet known, but the
proposal to found 10000 gardens in
this poorly vegetated town is worthy
Of serious consideration.
Not only would 10000 gardens fur
nish many a fiourishing onion and
head Of lettuce to meet Chicago's de-
mand for vitamins and minerals. but
they would give much needed moral
discipline. A man who can cultivate
a hill of beans according to the just
laws of nature is not likely to be
afflicted with the speed hysterias or
other disciplinary diseases prevalent
in the streets.
There are unquestionable moral ad-
vntages in a garden patch fitted to
soothe the phrenetic activities of the
city. The calm dignity of the cabbage
waxing to maturity and the delibera-
tion of the ripening squash might GO
far to improve the morale of our ur-
ban population.
And think what a well cultivated
garden does to grocery bill!

BUYING NECESSARY
T0BR|NG STABILITY
Secretary Mellon Calls Pro-

Germany, Vital Need.

Only by return of the public to
The buying market will conditions be
stabilized, according to those who
have been watching conditions in the
business field for months. The prin-

to move products, and by moving
them the manufacturer will be able
to collect his money, and in turn
will be able to put all Of his employees
again to work and start the wheels
of industry moving.
Secretary Mellon of the Treasury
Department has pointed out that the
prime consideration in the country
today is to get products on the market
and sell them. Nothing short of this
will help the return of the prosperity
to this country. So important did

EXPERT LECTURES
ON REALTY RULES
Thomas Bradley at Y. N,
c. A. Takes Up Factors
Which Hamper.

Thomas Bradley, vice president of
the Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany. discussed building restrictions
in real estate, in a lecture before the
Y. M C. A. class in real estate at this
weeks session.
I'VE are now hedged in with many
restrictions as to building he said.
land when you are contemplating buy
ing a lot it Is well to look into the ef-
feet the zoning law may have. There
has been relatively little building done
in Washington since the zoning law went
into effect.
Il cannot at this time go into the
question of the zoning rules, but they
are most important in ascertaining the
value of city lots and the use to which
value Of your lot is the revenue it will
produce when built on with the proper
kind Of Improvements. There is no
other criterion by which you can be
guided.
Mentions Rent Regulations.
II want to say just a word on the
subject Of rent regulations. Capital
is very delicate thing with which
to tamper. 1t takes some courage
under present conditions for a man
to build, and il laws are passed which
are going to restrict the use Of build
ing, you will find that they will not
be built. A bill introduced in the last
Congress passed the Senate and
threatened to become a law. If it
had it would almost have made
apartment houses impossible of opera
ton. It would have made it i'm
possible to eject an undesirable
tenent. When an occupant of an
apartment house becomes objection
able, you must get rid of him for the
good of the many-for the good of
the respectable people who are living
in the same building. I hope this bill
will not be revived at the next
session.

BUILDING SUPPLY
SHORTAGE POSSIBLE
Increased Activity in Con-
struction Work Cited as
Likely Cause.

Reports indicate a continuance of
| preparations for extensive building
activities and point to a propitious
construction season, according to s.
w Straus, the New York banker.
Active conditions are likely to de-
velop a serious shortage in supplies"
he declares. "The general funda-
mental conditions cannot be said to
be conducive to lower building prices:
in fact. the activities which now ap-
pear to be getting under way may
be expected in the natural course OF
events to strengthen prices.
Lower Labor Costs.
"In some localities there have been
employment and general business de-
preston, but il would not be pru-
dent to withhold building plans on
the assumption of further prospec-
tive general recessions in labor.
The hopeful aspect of the build.
ing situation is to be taken as fore
runner of general business revival.
Pronounced building activities VIII
hasten economic and social stabiliza-
ton. The agitation and unrest which
has existed in the industry will. in
the long run, prove beneficial. Peo-
pie are continually demanding better
homes and higher standards of liv-
ing. The development of our great
American cities, the upbuilding of the
nation and the general progress OF
civilization have been due primarily
to the restless aspirations of humans
ity for better living standards. The
social unrest in the world today 10
a further manifestation of these inn
pulses, and stabilized conditions VIII
be brought about by directing these
forces along constructive lines. Sue
cess is discomfort expressed in terms
EFF accomplishment.
Solution for Unrest.
."These facts are to be borne in
mind in connection with every phase
of the present situation. Such activ-
titles as building and home-
ownership will prove rightful en-
deayors through which unrest may
find constructive solution.
'aThe present prospects of active
residential construction during the
ensuing spring and summer, there-
fore, have a deeper significance than
appears on the surface. They repre-
sent a forwa ard movement toward pet

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, ana
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfulS
of Mulsified will make an abundance
of rich. creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
riDses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright. fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months. Be sure your. druggist gives
you Mulsified.-Adv.

SIMPLE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACkHEADS

There is one simple, safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads
and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces Of calonite
powder from any drug store-sprinkle a
little on a hot, wet sponge-rub over the
blackheads briskly-wash the parts and
you will be surprised how the blackheads
have disappeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear. leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
heads are simply a mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores Of the skin. Pinching
and squeezing only cause irritation. make
large pores and do not get them out after
they become hard. The calonite powder
and the water simply dissolve the black
heads so they wash right out, leaving the
pores free and clean and in their natural
condition. Anyone troubled with these m
slightly blemishes should certainly try this
simple NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
