D. c. FIRM PLANS
BUILDING PROJECT
1923 Homes Will Be Erected
on Site in North
east.

Erection OF 123 dwellings in the
block bounded by Sd, 4th, l. and NJ
streets northeast is planned by Nc
Keever & Goss through their build
ing department. This operation, the
first to be undertaken by the firm, is
scheduled for completion within the
next eighteen months.
The entire tract, containing zoo, 900
square feet. will be Subdivided by
putting in a new street. to be known
as ID place, running north and south
between l. and NJ streets. The in
creased frontage will afford ground
enough for the 1913 houses.
Ground was broken ten days ago
a steam shovel has been busy ever
since making the necessary excava-
tlons for the first unit of twelve
houses. which will face on 4th street.
Ihey Will be Six-rOom and bath
houses with pantry and built-in ga
rage. Many unique features are
planned to reduce labor of housework
to the minimum.
This unit will be followed by other
units as rapidly as possible.
For the purpose special building
department has been organized under
the direct supervision of F. r Nesbit
During the past year or two most
of the new building operations have
been confined to the northwest Sec
ton. so that the house situation in
the northeast section is said TO be
more OF problem than in any other
part of Washington. This location,
being convenient to the Union sta
ton freishting terminals and other
industrial plants. will furnish much
assistance toward solving the hous-
ing situation in that locality, Mr.
Nckeever believes.

Costs I'm West Greater.
The costs of opening up timber

an investment of $3.50 per thousand
feet of production. on the basis of
twenty-five years of operations. suf-

the timber of the north and the
carly rapid development of the indus

ton capacity to capitalize a tropical

Again, it is to be remarked that at

duction is decreasing its home con-
sumption of lumber is increasing,
due to agricultural and manufactur-

SUGGESTS WAY
TO LOWER COSTS

Simplification and Standardization of
both products and practices in the
building industry hold out to the
perspective home owner the promise
of more value for his money when
he builds in the future. A large num-
Der of advantages which come with
simplification are enumerated by the
division of building and housing of
the United States Department of
Commerce. Some of the most i'm
portant OF these are:
Reduces intermittency in employ
ment.

The manufacturer can better judge
the demands for the season and thus
produce largely for stock. Manufac-
turing to order will be reduced.
The manufacaturer needs no longer
be equipped to take care of the hlsh
seasonal peak. Production costs are
usually less where they are relatively
constant.
Make Laborers More Efficient.
Laborers will be more efficient. 1or
they have fewer sizes and designs to
work with and they produce more
than they can where the tabor turn
over is high. They not only produce
more, but make a better product:
Fewer sizes and styles make SHIP
ments more prompt. reduce the NUM-
Der of unexpected shortages. aDd re-

result in fewer errors.
Fewer opportunities for making

Nitrogen Research
 Work Is Continued
By J. l.. MEDVEDOFF N. s. Staff Correspondent-)

Washington, June 19-One of the least-heraldeed yet most imp ortant cogS in the government peace and wartime machinery is the Fixed Nj trogen Research Laboratory here, born of the World War.
 When the United States entered the conflict it was seriously unprepared in the matter of nitrogen for expio- sives. The War Department under took to remedy the situation as quick ly as possible. but found itself greatly handicapped, because only few men in the country were familiar with the nitrogen process
 The War Department inmediat ely called into consultation some of the ablest scientists available. following which a nitrate commission was formed. The commission recommend ed the building of plants for the f1xa- ton of atm oSpheric. nitrogen, so that ammonium nitrate could be secured for explosives during the war and for the production of fertilizer materials as well as nitrogen compounds useful in the arts during peace time-
 The laboratory today has a person. nel of 1O7, occupies 17 buildings, and owns equipment valued at approxi- mately S1,0OO,0O0.
 Has Special Machinery.
 It has. in addition to the equip meth and supplies of standard design, a great quantity of specially con- structed apparatus, among which is a
  This plant has been in successful and continuous operation for more than two years and is believeed to be the only catalyst testing plant outside of Germany ever to be operated con- tinuouslS for more than a few weeks at a time.
 Of vital importance to the United States both in war and in peace is the problem of nitrogen fNation. The element forms an essential constitu- ent of explosives. fertilizers and dye stuffs- In time of war the necessity of importing Chilean saltpetre, with it's attendant uncertainties and tieup of carrying capacity. is very serious. In time of peace the use of nitrogen in fertilizers would be used for in- creasing the food and other crops necessary to the country's welfare
 The laboratory was eSSa blished primarily to coordinate the knowl- edge which had been obtained con- corning nitrogen fixation by the War to obtain further infor- nation essential to peace-time utili- zaton- of- the governments nitrate

Banks Report Huge Credits Available
By W. H. ATKINS. Internal ationaI News SearVice Staff COrreSnOndent

Washington, June 19.-The banks are swelled with surplus funds. Nearly $2,000, 100000 in credit is going be- ging. American banks reported loans a year ago of SIS, 900, ,000, 900. To-day the same banks report only S11, ,000,- 900, ,000 dn loans
 Easy money conditions proide the answer. Because of light demands made upon them, banks everywhere have a. surplus of funds available for outside investment.
 Reports to the Federal Reserve Board show that in many classes of business commitments have been full ly 1iquidated and considerable cash balances have been carried in the banks. There is less demand for cus- toners to resort to the banks for working capital
 Reserve Board reports show that a gradual liquidation of large stocks of commodities held over in order to avoid dumping them on the market has thrown funds into the hands of thousands who are now using the proceeds in business developm ent
 Loan Money Available.
 Increasing ease in the banking situation generally is shown by the vast amount of money sent by in terior bankers to New York to be more money drawn to New York on such a basis than has been reported since the free market for time funds was restored some time ago. Larger
 
 offerings of new industrial issues have absorbd a part of this fresh supply of credit.
 Generally officials here are of the opinion that the Notation of security issues in the heavy volume recently noted shows a readiness by the busi- ness community to spend large sums for Improvement purposes. In many directions it has brought a stimulus tG the basic industries
 The country is working around to the point of obtaining a better bal ance in the industrial structure. Ob- servers have noted that the iron and steel industries have exhibited heolthful signs of growth following the launching of betterment projects in that field.
 Slowing down of business over the proceeding months released a large volume of funds which has sought investment, and much of it has gone into Government securities. Such se- curit1es as Treasury certificates have been offered in large volume and have been heavily over-subscribed by investors

Absolute Independence Is Not Expected From Senate
 By Philippine Delegation

Senate, Quezon is a powerful factor in Fflipina politics With him is Os- mena, Speaker of the House of Rep resentatves, also a powerful figure in the Philippines, and appealing to a more conservative element than Quezon- Though Osmena has shown Governor-Genera1 Wood in domestic legislation than Quezon, the two nevertheless are apparently united on the question of independence for the Philippines.
 The attitude of the Harding Ad- ninistration, however, is believed to be unshakable. The White House is on record as declaring that the In dependence mission will return to Manila with something more defi- mite that it has received for the last three or four years" Secretary of War Weeks, under whose immediate juris- diction the islands fall has elaborated somewhat on the Administration pol icy 'I am opposed to imm ediate in dependence for the Philippines" said Secretary Weeks, "a.nd so is President Harding"
 Woods Report Considered
 The attitude of the Administration, according to Secretary Weeks, is based to a considerable extent upon the report compiled by Major-Gen- era1 Leonard Wood, now Governor General of the islands, and former Governor Forbes, who made their recomm mendations after months of eXhauSt1e study. This report WAS definitely against immediate recog- milton and ascribed much of the present chaos in the islands to too much previous talk along that line.
 The Administration not only has endorsed that report in toto, but has evidenced its endorsement by mak- ing General Wood Governor-General of the islands and by bringing all sorts of pressure to bear upon him and the University of Pennsylvania from which he has leave of absence, to induce him to remain in the islands as Governor.
 All this is well known to Quezon and OSmena, who, according to their own statements, intend to try to counteract the influence of the Wood-F'orbes report in the United States by giving the American peo- pie ''the true facts with regard to conditions in the Philippines.
