BUILDING SITUATION

The present low ebb of the building
situation marks the turn of the tide
with the closing days of the year, in the
opinion of S. w. Straus. banker. of New
York.
While admitting that tho general
housing shortage is no less alarming
now than it was 4 year ago. Mr.. Straus
declares that the period has witnessed
progress toward sterilization, and that
with the coming of Seasonable weather
in the spring. the long-awaited activity
may be inaugurated, in the course of
time restoring normal housing condi-
tionS.
More Stabilized Conditions.
Labor and transportation conditions
are improving" he asserts. '"These are
factors of great potential significance in
an analysis of building tendencies. With
their continued improvement will come
a more stabilized market for materials
which viii exert an encouraging 1Tf1u-
ence upon capital Prior to the war in

and apparently permanent readjustment
OF income from improved real estate In
vestments is taking place.
Thus. while construction is at n low
ebb at this time. fundamental cOndi-
tionS are favorable for the resumption
!! Of building on n large scale. 1t should
ment can be brought about in the hous-
ing situation only as these basic condi-
tons are favorable. Unfair agitation
and overdrastic legislative restrictions
tend to divert capital from building in
vestments to other channels, and thus

BALTIMORE BREAD LOWER.
Three Bakeries Announce Reduced
Prices Beginning Next Week.

BALTIMORE. Md, January (Spe
ciaD D.-Although the scent loaf Of
bread cannot return for the present,
owing chiefly, the bakers say. to the
high cost of labor, substantial reduc-
tions in the price of the staff of life
next week were announced by three
Baltimore bakeries today.
One bakery will make a reduction
of 20 per cent, bringing it's pound
loaf. which has been selling at 10
cents. down to cents. and the pound
and a-half loaf, now sold at Is cents,
to ~ cents.
The second bakery will make prac-
tically the same cut in/prices. while
the third firm announces that while
1t will not change prices, it will give
more bread for the same money after
the first of the year." This bakery is
now selling a twelve-ounce loaf for z
cents and next week will give thirteen
and one-half ounces for cents.

LEAP YEAR RECORD HERE.
7,O35 Licenses to Wed Issued
in Capital in 1920.

Leap year 1920 established a new.
record of marriages in the National
Capital. Dan Cupid and his lieutenant.
Col: w. A. krolI. the license clerk, are
justly proud OF the years business. At
the opening of the clerks office YES
terday there had been issued 1895
licenses and the outlook was for a
BUSY day to wind UP the years work.
On the last day of 1919 total of
fifty-six couples secured licenses and
]! there is anything like that rush to.
day the years total for 1920 will ap-
proach 1850 licenses. Already the
previous years business has been ex-
ceeded by nearly 800 licenses, and last
year held the record for activity.
+ There is, however, one disappoint-
mene to Cupid and his assistant as
they view the record of the past wear
1t is the fact that ninety licenses were
Cancelled during the last twelve months.
Ihls is Two or three times. it is said, the
NUMBER ever returned in a previous

Picturesque is the word which fifty
describes this modern, up-to date sew
en-room and bath cottage. for no
house with such all artistic gabled roof
fail to be that can. Surrounded by a
number of stately old trees and set
amid a well kept lawn, the house
shown today is one that will attract
attention from passers-by generally.
AS shown here, it is constructed of
frame. with drop siding to the sill
course and shingles dipped in creo-
sote stain. The roof also is shingled
and Stained harmonious color.
One of the first impressions gained
of this house is it's roominess and air
of substantial well being. Passing
through the porch, one enters directly
into wide hall. from which the stair

have a harmful effect on the housing
situa ton.
The law of supply and demand is
the final determining factor IN the
situation. and every righaIul ini ,nrs
therefore, that will encourage more
building should be eAerted, he de-
clares.
Value OF Home Ownership.
Mr.. Straus points out that particular
impetus should be given to home
building and home ownership. which
constitutes one of the most suostan :
tial exemplifications of thrift Win
the present manifestations OF u"uei
lying unrest in Europe added I'M
portance is attached to the sentiment
toward widespread home ownership
in this country, and as this fact be-
comes more generally recognized
there is increased likelihood that one
of the outstanding features of the en-.
suing year will be large amount VI
home construction.
The well defined sentiment against
a too high interest rate for first mort
cages on improved real estate which
now is making itself felt Will prove
a very helpful factor. ne neileVes'
dustry efforts to attract capital at
exorbitant rates of interest must be
viewed with distrust. Abnormally
high interest rates paid by any cor
poration necessarily tendS not ohiy
to weaken the financial structure but
to encourage practices OF prohteerins'
Condi tions Of this kind would, II con-
tinued. exert a harmful influence on
the building industry.
while adverse tendencies may
manifest themselves temporarily here
and there" Mr.. StrauS observes. the
general situation is becoming stabil-
lied, and this will become more pro-
nounced as all interests show a
greater willingness to be fair and just
in their practices, and as the spirit OF
harmony grows and the principles OF
thrift and efficiency are more general
ly applied"
