resided at three different addresses.

ating was to make the acquaintance
of persons living in apartment houses

NEW YORK, July 31.-When I
had saved my first $1,000, which
was the result of my savings while
clerk in a store al a small salary
and I assure you that saving
meant some deprivation-I went to
work on a. salary in a flour mill
in Minneapolis.
The mill was owned by a man
who had two sons. The father died
leaving his property to them. When
they, too, died, and the property
was sold, l invested my 81 900 in
an interest, for 1 had learned the
milling business. / increased nv
ownership as the opportunity came,
and soon bought out all the other
interests.
This gave me a chance to make
money and, selling the mill, I went

That is what my first $1,000 did
for me.
Thrift. saving and attention to
business will do the same for any
young man who has ordinary
ability
The lesson is contained in that
advice and this:
Save, and don't invest your
money until you are sure you
know what you are about.
The trouble with many young
men Is they will not deprive them
selves. They have just as much
chance to save as the other fell
low, or, if they do save, are not
cautious in investing the money
which has come to them through
hard knocks and more or less self.
denial.
do not say there are no chances
for young man to invest his
money to advantage in large cities,
for there are, but in the greater
cities there are more financial pit
small investor than in lesser ones
1t was not at all a difficult matter
to lose your first 81 900 in a big
city, while in the smaller places
there is greater opportunity to
know more clearly what invest
ments to avoid.
Some men who possess the saw
ing habit have not the Judgment
necessary to make sound invest
ments. Such men had better seek
the advice of men who are known
to be disinterested and honest.
First class securities are always
safe Investments, and fair rates of
interest are obtainable.
But in any event, hold on to
your first $1,000 until you are
convinced the investment you may
be considering will not result in a
loss instead Of a gain, for in the
majority of cases that first 81 900
means a lot of hard work and self
denial.
AS haYe pointed out, know
this by Sc ere experience.

Five Bungalows Are
Placed On Sale
By Cissel

Of the many new subdi-
visions now being offered to
the market htose that lie in
the direction of Takoma Park
and it's environs seem to be at
tracing no little attention.
One of the latest of these is the
]. H. Cissel subdivision which
lies a little off the Brookville
pike at Silver Spring, Md.
This subdivision is being
operated and developed by two
brothers, j. H. Cissel and H.
Harley Cissel. The latter is
the first to complete his initial
building operations, having
placed on sale today a row of
five finished bungalows of un-
usually pleasant design and
rigid construction. Set on lots
IS by $50 feet, with a most
admirable outlook front and
rear yet comparatively close to
the center of trade, these
houses are expected by Cissel
out the slightest difficulty.
Each bungalow contains five
rooms and bath, with an upper
floor left in a semi-finished
state-a godo-sized stairway
having been installed-which
with a small extra expenditure
would make two exceptionally
cheerful rooms. The base
ments, which are both commo-
dious and dry, contain rudi-
mentary built-in garages; in
fact, the entrances to these
latter are so designed that the
car may be stored in the base
ment proper without any addi-
tional construction.
Heat is supplied in every in
stance by pipeless furnaces to
which hot-water units have
been attached. Hardwood floors
make all the rooms more than
usually snug and attractive,
while paved sidewalks and
graded streets are only two
among the many other advan-
tages set forth by Cissel in be-
half of his properties. The
operation is open for inspection
every day in the week except
Sunday.

C.WALKER PLANS.
II Il To DEVELOP
INDUSTRY
West Washington Freight
Terminal at Loughborough
Proposed.

A development that is expected to
II reach an investment of several mil
{ Hon dollars within the space of a
: very short time is at present being
planned by the Allan E. Walker in
terests. An industrial and CONNER
cla1 project, it's site is the historic
2 1oughborough property fronting on
River road and the Georgetown
branch of the b. & o. Railroad, just
over the Maryland line.
AS recently announced, the COM
:. pany has just acquired the Tough
= borough property of 80 acres. 1t also
has purchased the Shoemaker tract
OF IT acres, lying east of River road
- on both sides OF the railroad. ard
other rather extensive property in
that section, giving q very large rail-
!, road frontage.
1t is proposed to establish manu-
p featuring plants of varied character,
~ coal and lumber yards, gasoline and
oil storage, ami other enterprises,
which find it advantageous to be be-,
yond the rigid regulations OF the
District of Columbia, yet within easy
reach of large sections OF the city
and northwest suburbs.
E The strategic character of the To-
cation is at once apparent upon a
study of a map.
The Loughborough property is
located almost directly west and
less than a mile from Chevy Chase
Circle. Grafton street has been cut
through, intersecting the property,
and will soon be made into a good
street. River road is paved as well.
: "A further important advantage is
!. had by this location in that the
haul with load is practically all
dpwnhill to all sections of the city
: and suburbs, and the haul is far
shorter to a very large section of
, the city ard northwest suburbs
than from the present freight ter
miral. coal dumps, or from Ross
lyn, Va. and places of similar &C.
JtfVities.
Another important factor which
gives Loughborough a big advan-
tage is the fact that ideal sites are
available at moderate cost, whereas
at lexington and other freight ter
aIfaihals, as well as points where
manufacturing is done within the
District, the ground is very high
priced.
DIN the case of coal and other
commodities an extra charge isl
made for delivery from downtown
points to many sections Of Cleve-
land Park, Chevy Chase and other
northwest suburbs.
1t is proposed to establish a West
, Washington terminal ar Loughbor-
sough for package freight delivery
and to construct many miles of
railroad sidings.
: Allan E. Walker has made a very
careful study of this section and itst
possibilities over a long period.
Furthermore. he has had actual
demonstration of its practical fea-
lures during the past few years, |
having located in this section the
Immense 80,O00-gallon gasoline and
large oil storage stations of the
Washington Accessories Company
ard the quarry of the Bethesda
Blue Granite Company, both of
which are directed by Mr.. Walker.

and is a pleasing little home.
From the front entrance porch
one is led into a small arched
vestibule that has a coat closet on
one side, thence we> pass into a
generous hall and admire the
colonial stairway that gracefully
leads to the second floor.
The hall opens up well into the
living room on one side and the
dining room opposite.
The kitchen Is placed in an ell
at the rear of the dining room,
with a pantry and cellar stairway
between.
A rear entry for the ice-box and
such is provided so the iceman
need not enter the kitchen, The
