Dance Found Proper

Handbills announcing an all night
dance Friday at his ranch place near
Parkdale resulted in X. 5. Wilcox, Up
per Valley orchardist, having Sherin
johnson as a guest. The county court,
which regulates public dances through
a license system provided by state law.
does not permit dancing in this county
after midnight. The sheriff reports
that he found the dance conducted
along lines of stirct:propriety. Indeed,
Mr.. Wilcox had complied with the law
by :applying for license. The state
ment of the handbills had merely been
a little overZealous.

why Suffer- From RheumatismG

Do you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheuamtism, neither of which require
any internal treatment? The pain may
be relieved by applying Chamberlain 8
Liniment, which makes sleep and rest
possible, and that certainly means a
great deal to any one afflicted with

WORLD HIGHEST RENT,
$66 A SQUARE FOOT
Fifth Avenue Knit Shop Pays
$4,000 a Year on Small
Corner Space.

What is said to be the highest
rental paid in the world is for a
thirty-foot store space on 5th ave-
nue.. New York. with a frontage of
thirty five feet on AID street. The
room is occupied by knit goods con-
cern and the yearly rental is said to
be $4,000. This figures out at about
S66 a square foot.
Considering the fact that the Dutch
paid $24 in goods for the whole Of
Manhattan Island. 1t would appear
that real estate values have fncreas-
ed somewhat.
Real estate is relatively stable, and
not. as Carnegie once described the
steel industry, alternately q prince or
a pauper. yet its changes are wide
and peculiar. Today in the Wall
street district Office space is scarce,
despite the great number of man.
moth structures that have gone up
in the last few years. Those who are
searching for quarters find 1t hard
to get what they need. and what the
women know as "house hunting" is
urgent and seems to know no end.
IS n Year Average.
Five dollars square foot a year Is
about the average price paid. Desir-
able sites command more. And yet
within the last eight years desirable
office space in New York has gone
begging. There is one towering
DuildinE in lower Broadway where
excellent Office space could have been
rented in 1914 for so cents a square
foot And not only that. in cases
where leases were about to expire the
tenants were asked to remain rent
free for six months or longer. The
owners believed 1t better to have no
rent paid for a period than to have
large numbers of their offices empty.
Some of the rises in real estate
values in the United States are moth
ing short of phenomenal. A man in
Detroit inherited a piece Of property
from his father. 1t was a moderate
sized building on a city lot, worth
some $4,000. Today the site and
building on 1t rent for $42,5oo a year.

House SHORTAGE

Washington residents will be in
terested to know that people In
many other American cities. too.
are still wrestling with a housing
shortage. A recent survey of 1874
cities showed that in only fifty
three was there no shortage Of
homes. One hundred and sixty
four cities reported that they are
not yet overbuilt
The volume of building in vir-
tually all the cities reporting was
far in excess of last year. and in
most cities the building already
completed this year was far in
excess of any previous year.
Figures on dwelling house rents
collected by the National Assocta-
ton of Real Estate Boards dis
close that rents are advancing
rather than declining. Residence
property sales were reported as
good in about half Of the cities
from which reports came. Labor
conditions in the construction field
were reported generally as good,
with little or no unemployment.
