Home DEMAND IS
AT HIGHEST PEAK
Claims Easy Payment Plan
Enables COlOred Persons
To Buy.

A demand for homes among the
colored has reached a peak unpar-
alleled in the history of real estate.
according to Joe c. Brown, realty
expert.
Washington's building activity at
large will relieve the housing con-
dillon among colored persons to
some extent. Mr. Brown declared.
He gave this reason because more
houses for the colored will be
available as thousands OF white
persons transfer their headquar-
tiers.
No homes for the colored have
been built for the past FIVE or six
years. he said. Not only has the
colored population increased. he
said, but the demand for homes has
strengthened tenfold among the
colured. The colored population
has kept in step with the white
buyers in. their desire to own their
own homes, Mr.. Brown said.
Washington has thousands of the
better class OF colorcd people who
have been in the past few years in
terested in the purchase of real es-
tate. High rents and good wages
have been the two most important
factors in the sale OF Washington
real estate both to white and col
ored. according to Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Brown declared that Wash =
inEton has more Colored home own
ers than any other city in the
United States, due mostly to the
fact that property in the City of
Washington is sold on what is
known as the easy-payment plan.
This consists of small cash pay
ment and the balance in monthly
payments. In other cities TO pur-
chase a home one must pay about
one-third or one-half OF the sale
price in cash at the time of the
sale, he said.

vivOr of n race that once numbered thou
sands. Less than a hundred years of
European civilization wiped them out.
From all over the world scientists who
are interested in the evolution Of the
human race have come to Hobart to gaze
upon the skeleton of TrugaI mi, to meas
ure her bones and to seek other data
which are buried in the past and unre-
corded history of the blackfellOws Of
Australia In the days when Tasmania
was only n small colony and the blacks
were exceedingly troublesome, in 1890 to
lie exact. the white settlers to the num-
Der Of 5000 organized a hunting bee in
which all the natives were killed with the
exception of 200, who were placed upon
n reservation, where a score of years
later only forty remained. Truganini
was the last of these.
MILLIONS ARE BET
ON THE RACES.
Aborigine hunting has given away to
horse racing as the great sport Of the
Tasmanians and in on other state of
the commonwealth are there greater dew
otees. Hobart. by the way, is the head
quarters Of the notorious gambling ring
known as Tattersan's 1t is licensed
by the Tasmanian Government and
through its hands pass millions of dol
lars each year. 1t sells chances on the
horses entered in eighteen of the big
racing meets in Tasmania and on the
mainland Two million tickets are sold,
either at one dollar or two dollars each
and the money which the Tasmanian
government receives in stamp duties
and a dividend tax on the prizes amounts
to S125,OOO a year. Tsttersall's keep 10
per cent of all money wagered with
it as n commission. On the Melbourne
Cup, the greatest race in Australia. the
first prize is $4,000, divided among hold
ers of 50 tickets.
At the little barber shop in Melbourne
where the members of our party were
in the habit of getting shaved, there was
a young barber whose principal topic
of conversation was the races. He fairly
seemed to live from one race day to
the next. he never missed a meet in Mel,
bourne and he talked wisely of the
horses, their pedigrees their marks, their
trainers and their jockeys.
with your knowledge of the horses
you ought to be ahead Of the bookies,"
I jokingly remarked.
NO" said he, II am quite a little be-
hind. l put in my last money on a
ticket from Tattersalls today. Don't
know how 1 am going to get out to the
track to see them run, either"
Later 1 learned that he had sold for
bare carfare an interest in his latter
sails ticket. The next day he was not
at his chair I asked for him.
He won't be back for awhile" was
told His ticket in Tattersalrs yester-
day won 5000 pounds (about twelve
thousand dollars). But he had sold part

the animal a nature fake when they saw
a stuffed one exhibited in England. Only
one man I ever met even made a claim
TO having seen one of these animals in
its native haunts. How much l be-
lieve his claim you can judge from the
following incident:
~ should like very much to see a Tas-
manian devil" said l.
He drew himself up proudly, looked me
in the eye and said without the least
hesitation: Il am a Tasmanian devil,
the original Tasmanian devil, if you want
to know"
Somehow lost confidence in that man
right then, for I knew that a Tasmanian
devil is a queer four-legged animal about
the size Of a small dog, dark brown and
with a vicious face. Why they should
call him devil I don't know, but I
am told he will put up a vicious fight
WOLF ABOUT LIKE
OUR WILD CAT.
The Tasmanian wolf, so-called, is about
like our wild cat and the Tasmanian tiger
is a savage-looking creature, resembling
a coyote somewhat, but with light stripes
across the hips. Incidentally the female
has pouches in which to carry her young
which seems to be characteristic OF ami
mails IN this part of the world.
It would take an entire article to tell
in detail of the queer birds and animals
and fish which are to be found in Tas-
mania. I spent some time in the vari-
Gus museums Of Australia and in the
ZOOS looking at them and can we'll un,
derstand the feelings Of the old man who
remarked after Seeing his first rhinoc-
eros: There amt be no SIGH animal"
Australia IS famous for the many va
rites of snakes and they are the worst
in Tasmania, where, for some reason, all
Of them are poisonous, although only five
are actually deddly. 1t is peculiar that
the farther away you get from the equa-
tor, the more poisonous the snakes are.

MANY RABBITS
IN TASMANIA.
Like other parts of Australia, Tasmania
is overrun by rabbits, and the man who
introduced them that he might have
pets like in his English nome, has
never had a monument erected to his
memory. Miles of rabbit proof fencing
are required to keep these pests out of
the crops. They form staple article
of diet on the tables of the poor. In
LauncestOn / saw the man who supplies
most of the rabbits to the town. He was
driving into town with small two
wheeled cart, commonly called n tinker"
and it was literally weighted down with
Dummies. For two cents more than the
customary price Of n rabbit he will skin
and clean it while the customer waits.
AS a result his "jinker" is always trailed
by horde of dogs of all kinds, waiting

HUNTING AND
FISHING FINE.

Racing. however, is not the only sport
which Tasmania affords The hunting
and fishing are excellent, but the sea
sons are carefully fixed by law and VIC
lators are severely punished. There is
no big game to be had but the native
bear, a brown -furred little rascal about
the size of a young black bear cub,
affords rare sport, l am told. for those
who seek him in his mountain home.
AS our train wound its way around the
hills I have seen few of these bears
asleep in the forks of trees and ap-
parently undisturbed by the noise OF our
passing. When the mother bear travels.
