$4,000 Small Homes
Actually Under Way
lnCreaterNe York
Presages Big Spring Build
ing Movement; Money Is
Available for Thrifty Folk
Who Want to Build
By Edward p. Doyle

HeGt Il STATE SOGrG OF Ne1U J Ork
There are more than 1900 smal
homes in the FIVE boroughs now unde,
construction which means great re.
vival Of home building this spring
Last year 10000 small homes were
built and that figure represented al
enormous increase over the building in
PREVIOUS years. Most of this construc-
tion is because OF the tax mptior
ordinance. which excmpts dwellings, and
apartments from taxation for period
OF ten years.
The housing shortage. the so-called
rent emergency. should by this tim @
have called the attention Of every head
OF a family in greater New York to
the advantage of owning 8 home.
There can be no excuse for the ordi-
nary thrifty man who has steady en-
ployment not to own his own home.
Lots arc available at reasonable prices
within thirty or forty minutes of City
Hail. Manhattan. on streets with side.
walks and sewers. If q man owns a
lot, savings banks, building and loan
associations and other agencies are
ready and willing to loan the addi-
tional money necessary to build q
home.
Savings banks in all five boroughs
are doing their utmost to encourage
homebuilding At present If man
owns lot worth $500 and is planning
on building q house to cost $4,000 he
can borrow as much rs $4,000 on Il
mortgage, though under the 60 per
cent rule savings banks would only lend
$4,000 in such q case The balance of
81 600 can be raised IN various WAYS.
Il It has not already been saved. Often
the contractor will advance this sum
on t. note. There is plenty Of money
available Cor BODYBUILDING. No one
should put off this undertaking for
lack OF funds.
Start saving, II you havs not put
aside the necessary amount A house
sufficiently large TO house family Of
average size can now be built either
OF frame or stucco for $4,000. Interest
end amortization would not amount to
more than sos a month. This is the
amount required for rent in almost all
Of the mIddle-c class apartments in the
city of New York. If the builder is n
mechanic he can help with the work.
and by proper purchases, and selection
OF materials, build a comfortable home
Tor $4,000. In this latter case, the
charges for interest and amortization
would DE SIS month.
Payment Of taxes makes a man in
terested in good government Il Is the
home owners who make the country
great Families crowded in badly VENT
lated and located apartments can have
no civic pride. Our people should be
comfortable in the right environments

BIG DAMAGE IN
HOLTVILLE FIRE

Estimates today placed the loss of the
and Harris pool hall in Holtvillc last
night, at approximately $4,000 In
surance adjustment will possibly take
aniatter Of several DAYS, according to
John Bozekas, proprietor of the Blue
bird Cafe
The fire was discovered shortly after
s p. m., in the kitchen Of the restaurant
and was probably caused by defective
flpe. The flames spread rapidly
though the firemen made a quick re
sponse TO an alarm, and soon reached
the pool hall next door. A breeze
blowing from the west handicapped Tho
firemen in their work, and it wa.
feared would cause the fire to reacl
adjoining buildings ana a call was sent
to FL Centre for help.
Assistant Fire Chief Emery Girari
with a detail Of men, responded witt
the fire apparatus, making the run tt
Holtville in "a minutes. Their services
were limited TO assisting the Holtviil,
department., wet down the remains o.
the buildings, which were badly gutteG
by the blaze, as the fire was under con
troll when the III Centro department
arrived.
The drug store Of T. G. Potts, located
next doos TO the pool hall was pro
tectcd by . firewall, which undoubted
ly prevented the flames from spread
ing. The store was badly flooded will
water. but damage to stock was slight

HE CAN WIN BY
FOUR STRAIGHT
Manager of Yanks Writes
His Intentions for
United Press
By MILLER J. HUGGINS
Manager of the New York Yankees
Copyright, 1922, by United Pross)
By MILLER J. HUGGINS
Manager of the New York Yankees
Copyright, 1922, by United Pross)

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-PeDnants and
worlds series are net won by predic-
tions of the manager You get the hits,
runs and pitching out there on the ball
field. Therefore, / am not going to
start out by saying that the Yankees
are going to crush the Giants for four
straight games in this 1922 world series.
L will say this much, however, that
lit is my wish and ] will not be q bit
surprised to see us finish the series
next Saturday.
However, experience has taught NE
the uncertainties of baseball. What
better illustration is necessary than two
series of games we played this season.
All of us will admit that the next
best club in the American League was
the st. Louis Browns. We beat them
IA out of % games. According to the
standing of the clubs the Boston Red
Sox was the weakest III our organize
ton what happened? We lost 13 ont OF
% to the Red SoX.
/ have better ball club than y year
ago, much better. | have pitchers with
more nerve. / have Babe Ruth in con-
dition. We lost three straight games
in 1921 when Ruth collapsed and was
forced to retire. The boys felt that
Babe was their team. 1t is entirely
different this season. Ruth remains
the greatest, hitter the game has pro-
-har-
Ruth did not get n ball out of tho in
field. Babe, too, is showing different
stuff. L never saw such wonderful
change in fellow. He plays for the
success of the team and not for any
individual glory. l have two pitchers
on the club who nave asked ME to pitch
them in the entire series. Last Octo-
Der, two pitchers came to me on the
morning of the sixth game and told
me they had sore arms. Imagine pit
cher with sore arm, at least COM
planning of one, during q world 8 series.
If there are any around today they are
not apparent TO the naked eve of the
manager.
That IS the spirit which won the Amer.
lean League pennant for the Yankees
and that S The spirit you will seeagainst
the Giants.
We are not under estimating the
Giants. We haven't forgotten the play
Rawlings made against us last year
and Johnny was y bench warmtr. Such
things happen iii baseball. A player
sitting on the bench when thc game
starts may become the big hero.
We re going to bear down, play our
hardest and show them some real pitch
ing.
With Joe Bush, Bob Shawkey, Waite
Hoyt, Sam Jones and Carl Mays, Ii
manager has about all that could be
desired for four games. L wouldn't
trade Wally Schang for any catcher 1
have seen il Baseball
The infield with Pipp, Ward, Scott
and Dugan, goes for me, while Ruth,
Witt and Meuscf in the ouifield don't
have to bow before any of them. Don't
forget too, that we have Elmer Smith,
Frank Baker, Mike MeNally and several
Others on the bench.
There'll be no stailing with us. We
are going out after four straight games.
