Mrs. Del says thank the Lord the Texas state laws prohibit playing cards on trains. A couple of bridge struck danes are thereby placed hors de combat, but not so an ubiquitous travelling man who for three hours has been telling the trainmen that he can play if he wants to, and will play if anyone will play with him, and he'd like to see them stop him. Fi- nally they told him he could play solitaire if he wanted to be arrested and fined $50, but he doesn't know how to play solitaire except with his mouth, and he's sure some whiz at that.

Crossing the Brazos river, where Walter Durham used to ride herd on the Texas longhorns, we saw some tracks in the sand that looked like him, but as it has been thirty years since he was here and it might have rained since, we can't be sure.

Awards Contract
To Robinson Firm
For Exhibit Abode

Letting a contract for the con-
struction Of a building to accommo-
date American commercial exhibits
at the coming Brazilian Centennial
Exposition, to be held in Rio de ia
Metro beginning September 7, has
been announced in a communica-
tion from the United States Exhib-
its, Inc, New York City, to the De-
partment of Commerce. The con-
tract has been awarded to Dwight
P. Robinson and Company. The
same firm Is building the States eX-
hibits.
The building will be of steel and
concrete on a site of 10000 square
feet. The building. located at the
northwestern end of the Avenida
Rio Branco, which will be known as
the Exposition Annex, will be con-
structed of American materials. and
exhibition space will be rented to
American structure to house the Of
fetal United States firms only or to
their duly accredited representative
in Brazil.
The erection of the building to
take care of the American official
exhibit and the other expenses con-
nected with the American govern
ment's participation In the centen-
nial have been provided for by an
appropriation of $1.0O0,000 passed
by Congress some time ago. The

building is purely commercial
proposition having no direct con-
nection with the exhibition plans
Of the American government, It was
explained at the Department Of

OLD BRICKS USED
FOR Home CHARM

One of the newest things in home
architecture is the return to the old.
A number of builders are using
old bricks, for instance. to lend the
charm OF age as well as an air of
substantially to their houses. Old
bricks, 1t is said. are nearly twice
as heavy as bricks made today.
The effect of the old hand-cut
shingle is obtained by using split
shingles, a machine product. These
are larger and cleaner than the or
dinary type. Instead of a thickness
of one-quarter to three-eighths
inches and a length Of sixteen
inches. the split shinGle is from
three -eighths to One-half inch thick
and twenty to twenty-four inches
Long
Antique fixtures. such as wrought
iron lanterns for the porch light or
wrought iron candlestfcks for the
wall lights, are used effectively.
The stiff modernity of the con-
crete walk can he eliminated by
using irregularly shaped blocks Of
rock planed level. When grass and
moss grow up between the rocks
the effect is enhanced.

BLEMISHES HOME. BEAUTY
Visitor Receives First Impression of Abode
From Halls Appearance.

closet Is available. often has space
enough for a large settee, sofa or
settle, a cradle table and severai
chairs with, perhaps, a long chest.
Be careful, however, never to crowd
the hall. Keep II as simple as may
be and err on the side of austerity
rather than encourage fullness.
Also avaid too much bric-a-brac
and wall adornment. A mirror.
sconces. a piece of tapestry or old
Chinese embroidery or Japanese
brocade, II II be possible. and per-,
haps, picture or two will general
ly be quite enough for a very large
hall.
Avoid small things that will Ar
rest the eye and detract from the
halls dignity and restfulness. For
practical reasons there ought to be
near the door a long. narrow table
and a chair or two. If there Is any
suitable and somewhat private part
of the hall, II will be . welcome
thing to many guests to find placed
there a small table with . mirror
above II and upon II a box or lit
tie cabinet containing a brush.
comb and sundry other small toilet
accessories. Such an arrangement
is particularly desirable in . subur-
ban or country house where visitors
arriving in motor cars will appre-
ciate II.
CrowdinE Objectionable.
With the narrow hallway. what
ever furniture is used must be of
such dimensions that It will not
impede passage and the less furni-
ture employed the better. Perhaps
the most useful article will be q
narrow table set against the wall
an arrangement already alluded to
in the spot formerly devoted to
the hat rack. Some OF the Chip
pendale side tables OF formal de-
sign are especially suitable for this
purpose. The same may be said OF
long English oak tables OF Stuart
design or OF some of the Queen
Anne-Early Georgian side tables,
and the Queen Anne drop-leaf table.
apron at the ends. Is not at all
a bad substitute. In a very small
hall Sheraton or Hepplewhite
fap-top table may be used to ad-
vantage in the same way. At either
emu OF lncSe nail tdDlcs may DC dp-
propriately placed a chair. The top
OF the table should be kept clear OF
obstructions save a tray for cards
and possibly large bowl for
flowers or an Oriental jar on a low
teakwood stand.
In lieu of narrow table. ono
may quite appropriately use a long
chest of decorative character or
else a settle or some sort OF bench
or long seat. Above table. chest or
bench a tapestry or piece OF old
brocade makes an agreeable wall
adornment and supplies an inter
esting note Of color as well. Or,
again. a mirror. fittingly framed,
will always be in order. At either
side of It may be hung sconces and
thus results a pleasing furniture
grouping.
Upstairs halls often suffer from
scant consideration, but 1t Is worth
while to remember that their ap-
pearance can almost always be
helped by the tudicious use of high
boys. chests and candle tables or
even a small desk for general use,
carefully placed, which perform
manifold utilitarian as we'll as dec
orative functions.

STRONG MARKET
!: I: SHOWS GROWTH
OF CAPITAL CITY
Hesitancy of Investment
Is Overcome During
New Building Era.
HOUSES MULTIPLY
Volume of Transactions
~ Equal City's Record
Figures.

The continual growth Of Wash
ington has advanced values and
created a steady real estate mar
sket. The hesitancy OF investment
during the readjustment period has
been overcome. and the volume OF
transactions again equals the rec
ord figures reached during the spec
tacular era of speculation following
the war. The investment spirit Is
even more active, for most OF the
purchases combine further expan-
sion purposes. and many OF them
are based upon large construction
or extension plans.
The surviving complaint is that
residential property Is not moving
as fast as the dealers believe 1t
should in view OF the demand fos
vacant ground and the success
subdivision plans are meeting. The
latter phase furnishes the explana-
tion Of the condition causing COM
plant. Many Of the new homes
were erected at peak material and
labor prices. Despite all the ex-
pert assurances that now is the
time to build. numerous home
seekers cling to the conviction that
the level will decline. and that they
will be able to construct homes
fully conforming to their desires
for less than they are asked for
dwellings already built. AS soon
as the question Is definitely settled
the residential market will be as
busy as any other department.
Meantime living accommodations
are multiplying at unprecedented
speed. and though new and more
population is constantly enterins
the supply should be sufficient tc
prevent any further rise in res
idential rents. In some classes
there may even be scaling OF rates.
The outlook for any similar re-
duction in commercial rents is fast
passing. for the gaps have been
filled without waiting for the regu-
lar leasing season, and there does
not appear to be any diminution OF
demand. The buildings which sud-
denly added hundreds of Offices to
the supply increased in other ways
are not yet completely filled. but
construction stopped in time to per-
nit patronage to catch up. The
organization or influx of new en-
terprises Of varied character will
take up all the slack, so there will
not be any decline in that quarter
either.
