believable.

with commencement time drawing near
at a rapid rate the thoughts Of thousands
Of high school and college students ma
tnralIy turn to thoughts Of photographs,
according to a member Of the stan OF
the Holland Studio, II West Market
street.
There are two periods during the year
when the demand for photographs reaches
its peak-the holiday season and COM
mencement time. Photographs make an
ideal present and for commencements
they record for all time the appearance
Of the young woman or man. at one OF
the most important periods of life.
1T is interesting to note no modern
science has made moro rapid strides
than the art Of photography. In this
art the progress OF only few years has
been equal to that Of a century in other
sciences Take up a magazine OF decade
ego and see how crude and imperfect the
camera work In 1t Is. as compared with
that Of today, and you can get some idea
of the rapid progress that IL being made.
1.-THE very highest types OF photo
graphic art, only a few years back are
obsolete already, and become almost
laughable, In the light Of the work done
today.

or In box in the attic. Now take look
at the strained, panied looks OF the vic
Tins and remember the agony you under
went years ago when a trip to photog-
rarhers was looked upon with about
the same degree Of pleasure, as visit to
the operating room of hospital In the
role of patient. Remember how they used
to clamp your head and subject you to
all kinds of torture, before you had Just
the pose the photographer thought you
ought to have.
Then look at a modern picture and
see the smoothness OF finish, the perfec-
tion with which the natural expression OF
the subject is reproduced, and You will
realize just what the Photographic art

Record Breaking Building
Year Forecast by Lumber
Dealer.

That the present year will be record
breaking year. as far as building opera
lions are concerned. is the opinion ex-
pressed by Herbert E. Hill. president Of
the Speedway Lumber Company, OF this
city Mr.. mn bases his opinion on the
record of sales made by his company, for
yarious months of the present year, as
compared with the same periods of 1921.
To strengthen this view he shows that
building permits taken out so far this
wear exceed those for the same length OF
time last year, by at least 81, 100000.
war time conditions, resulting In
shortage Of labor, for anything but war
work. and the great rush to the cities by
rural dwellers in the days following the
close Of the World War, also are vital
factors, Mr.. Hill declared, as this resulted
IN one of the greatest and most astound.
ing house shortages In the history OF the
United States.
In speaking Of the present situation he
said:
To-day we are enjoying tho greatest
business that we have had In our his
tory. Last year was wonderful. we
thought, but In recent chek.up OF
sales through April. sales exceed those

The manager Of the Polk Directory
Company pointed out in a news article
few days ago that there were 1000 va
cancies in the city, including apartments,
homes and offices a year ago, while only
little over 600 were listed this year.
This is real reason for the need Of
building in Indianapolis. Everywhere in
the civilized world, almost, the same
condition exists. This country did not
lose property in the fires of war. This
shortage exists as result Of the war
time curtailment of building. Whole
areas We're entirely destroyed In some
parts of Europe. The world can hardly
be adequately built in fifty years.
Prices probably will be fairly stable
during the rest Of the year Decreases

ditions. The foods have now subsidized

AS time goes on, we intend to broaden

we have reached a place where we can

I'VE are finding that business condi-
lions are better than they have been for
a long time past. There Is considerable
more confidence noticed in our field and
purchasers are coming back into the field

long time back.
This is Of course encouraging as 1t
means resumption Of general business
activity. Naturally our line Of work.

feel the effects Of the tremendous build

EATING IN CAFES
NOW APLEASURE
Rapid Strides Made in Restau.
rant Management Recently,
Manager Says.

So pleasant have surrounding Of down.
town eating houses become under adj
vanced ideas Of scientific management,
that no longer does the average business
or professional man or woman look with
alarm on the necessity OF eating away
from home. This Is the opinion ex-
pressed by Grace Anna Rust, manager
OF the Russet Cafeteria. 81 South Me-
ridian street.
There has been q great advance In
the equipment Of restaurants and eating
places, and In the care taken in the
selection and preparation Of foodstuffs
within the last few years" Miss Rust said.
lin the old days customers Of downtown
cafeterias and lunchrooms. while not at
all satisfied with the service and food
they received, put up with what they got,
as a necessary evil and simply adopted
the expedient Of eating away from home
as seldom as possible
But that day is gone, and gone for
ever. No longer can food, carefully Sc
lected, or picked with an idea of cheap
ness and not OF quality be foisted off on
the customer. The public has become SO
thoroughly educated and exacting that
only the best Of foodstufs, carefully pre-
pared will satisfy. Pleasant, comfortable,
sanitary surroundings are demanded also.
when we opened the Russet Cafe
terra recently we made UP our minds
that only the best qualified and trained
, specialists In the preparation OF food
would be employed. We also had In
mind giving quick, high grade service
at reasonable prices, amidst the most
pleasant and comfortable surroundings.
The instant response received by US
showed that we were fully justified IN
our ideas and our ideals.
TT was our particular object to give
downtown men and women the same
service and quality, usually obtainahle
at the highest grade places, at cost
far In excess Of ours.
We abolished monotonous menus
/ which kill the JOY of eating. We make 1t
a special point to change our menus daily
and THUS avoid tho tiresome repetition
Of dishes day after day.
The quality Of food served by us Is
of the very highesr. We make our pur-
chases carefully and do our own bak-
ing"

gin to cut down on their purchases Of
filing devices and equipment of various
kinds. But as soon as 1t gets better, up
goes the demands for our products again.
III / can Judge rightly from conditions
as they now are, especially in the past
few months. we should enjoy a good bust
ness year In 1922. The demand for fling
devices and loose leaf equipment has
shown a decided increase recently and
this indicates to my mind that business
houses are feeling the first effects Of a
general movement toward resumption OF
business on a normal scale.
Recently there has been almost no
change in the price Of equipment and
this makes the conviction In my mind
that the low level Of prices has been
reached in our line at last. Recently
there has been a stiffening in the mar
ket In some cases, and 1t has been diff
fcult to obtain some merchandise. VI
course this means but one thing, that
the demand for them Is steadily increas-
ing.
During the last few years the legiti-
mate dealer has come into his own, and
has established a place for himself which
he well deserves By the word legitimate

location and ability to give real service
to customers.
