REAL TORS: mark

YEAR
Local Realty Brokers Haye
). Been in Field SINCE
1879.

The year just drawing Atoia close,
1923, marks tns. golden anniversary
Of Caywood Brothers and Garrett,
prominent local. realtors. For fifty
years this popular firm Of realty
brokers has operated I'm the District
or Columbia under the same. exec
utive management that rules 1t: to-
day.
Z In 1878, A. S. CaywoOd founded
the firm that still bears his name.
He has been active in its manage
ment ever since that time. Today
finds. him as eager to attend the
details of the business as he was
fifty years, ago.
Firms Are Merged: =. -
Ten years after the estab llshment
of the original A.. S. Cayweod con-
Germ, the brother OF. the .firn's head
established a real estate business of
his own, in conjunction with John
P. Garrett. This was in 1888.
c. B. Caywood and John b, Garrett
continued in business under the
name of Caywood and Garrett until
1921, when tho original CayWoOd
firm and the second concern to
bear that name were merged, the
resulting firm name Of CayWo0d
Brothers and Garrett being adopted.
Since the consolidation in 1921.
according To E. 3. Caldwell, sales
manager for the firm, business has
been increasing by leaps and bounds.
With the. same heads in charge
who manned the helm back in 1873,
the company has had more than a
fair share of the splendid realty
business to be found in Washington.
Field Is BrOadened.

"A complete. revolution in the

tin of the u. s. Department of Agri-
culture, which points out that. the
source Of lumber is shifting from
the South to the Pacific coast, thus
increasing the cost Of getting lrn-
Der to the great consuming mar

Of building Is increasing. This. the
bulletin states, indicates that we
must turn to fire resistive mate

large contractors organization in
Chicago and is q member of the
Citizens Lands Award Committee,
states: We face a, serious situation,

to avert a calamity by prompt gov.

TRANSATLANTIC AIR LINE
Luxurious Zeppelins Win Fl Be-

Luxurious ZeppelIns Win Fl Be-
 tween Spain And South Americh.
 Plans for an airship line between Spain and South America have been completed.
 The king of Spain is largely re- sponsible for it's inception. and the Zeppelin company is reporte1 to have received a commission, to construct airships with a capacity of four and one-half million cubic feet, length of S25 feet, capable of carrying 40 passengers, mails and goods. and hav- ing a cruising spee1 of nearly 70 miles per hour, for this service. The details of these vessels, which are given in the English scientific journal, Discovery. show a luxurious cabin with a. social hall, and 10 four berth sections somewhat similar to those of Pullman car. The work of construction Is expected to take two years, and the service will probably be inaugurated in 1925.
 It is anticipated that the journey from Spain to Argentina will require little over three days, and the re- turn journey something over four days, the longer time on the eastward course being due to prevailing head winds.
 Seville will be the European ter minal and Cordoba the Argentine ter minal. Buenos Aires Is an unsatis- factory landing point on account of | its variable winds.-Living Age.

 There will be four correlations:
 "The Rustic" Grieg, Burns, Millet.
 "The Characteristics" Sullivan. Tennyson, BuTne Jonos.
 "The Philosophical" Beethoven, Dante, Michael Angelo.
 "The Dramtic," Wagner, Shakes peare, Rubens.
 There will be three ell American programs. Modern American com posers, Indian contributions to Amer ican art and America, the musical
 Alabama Day will be observed by devoting the program to Alabama composers, writere and artists. First Morning Program.
 The first morning program will take place, Thursday, October 25. at Cable hall, Il q. m The subject will be "The Rustic" using as an illus tratiop, Grieg. Buns and Millet.
 Nothing more interesting could be imagined than the weaving together of these three artists, the musician, showing the great sim:le rity of their lives and their art. All three be- ing born of peasant folk, inheriting from them the habit of simple living, and having instilled in their hearts great tenderness and sympathy tor all fellow beings; a great love of the sky, the flowers and the fields, and of all the little helpless beings that look to man for safety and as sistance; and rcflecting this love Of nature and the simple life in their art. Whenever we get real close to nature. we get close to God, so 1t IS very fitting that Dr. w. Ji. Hehdricks is to be the leader for this program, for who better than he could point out this lesson of love and spmyathy, not only for our fellowmen, but for all things created by God. which Is the soul of the art of Grieg, Burns and Millet.
 The musical numbers will be in- terpreted by Mrs. Edna Gochel Gus sen. Mrs. Lucille Roberts Brooks and the Treble Clef chorus. It is needless to say that morn ing of rare delight awaits the mem bers of the Music Study club, with the announcement of the above well known musicians on the program. Program.
