took them to hear the

celebrated artists-but
they never appeared out

today with a Columbia

ASSIST IN BUILDING HOMES
Associations Through the Country
Teach Thrift and at the Same
Time Make Good Citizens.

Pointing out that man who owns
his own home probably will be good
citizen, G. Clinton James, president Of
the Building Associations council for
the District Of Columbia, issued a
statement showing what building as
sociations in the district are doing to
encourage home owning and thrift.
While complete figures are not avail
able, it Is estimated that the total as
sets Of building associations in Wash
ington will be more than $28,0O0,00O,
he announced.
1.-THE building associations through
out the country are teaching thrift and
trying to educate the public to own
their own homes" Mr.. James stated.
"The motto Of the United States
League of Local Building and Loan
Associations Is The American Home
the Safeguard Of American Liberties
"The building associations have as
sisted very largely in solving the hous-
ing question by assisting persons Of
limited means to finance the buying
Of their home, but the demand for
loans has been much greater than the
funds available" it is asserted.
While building associations are not
as necessary in smaller towns as in
the cities, the same idea expressed in
community spirit will work out to the
desired result in the end.

BUILD IGLoos OF CONCRETE
Eskimo Indians No Longer Satisfied

1t is matter Of government rec

the Pribilof islands are rapidly gain

the sealskins and blue and gray fox
pelts they sell mount higher and
higher. Those bits Of frozen land in
Boring sea, whose total area is less
than seventy square miles, have only
about $50 inhabitants, yet they are
being assailed by all the aspirations
of prosperity and are beginning to

mail-order catalogues offer. SO Uni

Mechanics Magazine, thus substitute.

The builders, however, are careful to

FAITHFUL TO OLD VEHICLE
ox.cart Still Used as Method Of Trans.
portation in Parts Of the South

Tractors ares crawling over the
snow-covered fields of northern Green

use of a newborn vehicle recalls that
some Of the oldest transportation

ern 'darky' in North Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama, as we'll as in other por-
tons of the South, as his coach and
four for the Sunday 'go-to-meetfn'
During the week the stolid beast
plows tobacco and cotton fields. In In.
dia bullocks hitched to a wagon witt,
an ornate beehive-shaped or elongated
covering, not unlike the picturesque
tobacco schooner convey the Burmese
man and his family along the road to
Mandalay. Nor does this animal cease
being means of transportation upon
his death. The natives blow up his
skin and use 1t as float or raft on
which they cross the rivers"
