A Puzzle
a Day

An expressman found the peculiar
label shown above pasted on box
brought to him for shipment He
finally discovered the destination
that the cryptic label stood for. Can
you solve it?
Answer to previous puzzle:
If the number 1890 is divided into
three parts: 1915, 1880 and 3945, and
the first Q315) is divided by 3; the
second (2630}~by 6, and the third
(3945) by 8, each answer will be
the same, namely: 438 1-S.
The simple method Of discovering
the three numbers is to add 8, 6 and
(Which total 49,; and to divide IS
into 1890. The division gives 43S 1-3
as an answer; then, by multiplying
43S 1-3 by 8, and 8. the three de.
sired numbers, 1915. 2630, 3945 are
obtained.

EXPLAINS BENEFITS
OF LOAN SOCIETIES
0deII S. Smith Speaks Be-
fore Y. N. c. A. Accountancy
Class on Subject.

Operating principles of building and
loan associations were explained To
| members of the Y. NJ. c. A. accountancy
class at this weeks session by Oden S,
Smith. secretary of a local building and
loan organization.
"A building association" he pointed
out rs a mutual cooperative financial
institution composed of members who
have associated themselves together for
their mutual benefit and financial adj
vantage. The membership of a building
association may be broadly divided into
two classes. designated savings men,
bers and borrowing members. The for
mer use the association as place
where they may deposit from time to
time such sums as they are able TO
spare from their wages, salary or other
income.
System Is Explained.
THE borrowing members use the as
ISOLATION as place where they can bor-
row funds for buying, building or re-
pairing a home, or for other useful pur-
poses.
The members save money together
Ihey lend money to each other.
They divide the profits with each
other.
They work together to holm each,

Years ago Judge Durack of New
YORK was quoted as saying that build
ing association was an organized effort
to extract concrete wealth from aggre-
gated poverty.
Building associations have been
pioneers in teaching thrift. They have
been indorsed by the National Associa-
tion of Real Estate Boards. by Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover, who saws our
associations are true peoples banks.

To become an investing member of
building and loan association, Mr..
smith stated. one can start an account
IN the associations operating on the
permanent plan, which means an as
sociation that declares a dividend
each year, by depositing 81 up. and
such other sums as one may be able
to spare from his income In the
serial associations, in which a new
series Is started every six months, a
person may become a member by paw
ing back the number of months that
have elapsed since the series started
and thus get the full earnings of said
series IL you stay in until the series

made for those who withdraw before

Accounts are Encouraged.
These accounts can be opened at
any time in either class of associa-
ton. The advantages of membership.

eral income tax; all deposits are ex-
empt from municipal intangible taxes.
except special deposits. The associa-
ton. however, pays 2 per cent on its
gross earnings as an intangible tax.
A person desiring to become a bor-
rowing member must make applica-

Growth Reflected in Real Estate and Building News
TWONEW BUILDINGS
ONKST. COMPLETED
$4O0, 900 Cost of Four-Story
Business Structures Near
Department of Justice.

Completion by Boss & Phelps of the
two four-story business buildings,
1415 and 1417 K street northwest, ad-
joining the Department of Justice,
was effected this week. Cost OF the
project was approximately 100000.
Boss & Phelps erected the 1417
building for use as the future home
of their firm and it is said to be one
of the most elaborate real estate
offices in the east. Harry K. Boss, H
Glenn Phelps and Ben IT. Webster,
members Of the firm, have issued in
vitations for the formal opening
Monday.
Both buildings are of fireproof,
stone fronts. They were designed by
George n. Ray, local architect.
Reception Foyer Feature.
The feature of the Boss &: Phelps
nome Is the reception foyer, eIabo-
rately decorated in the Italian style.
with a tall collonade Of black Italian
marble, marble mosaic floor, lofty
ceiling and specially carved torch
ieres, reproduced from originals de-
signed by the late Stanford White.
Mr.. Boss. who, as past president of
the Washington Real Estate Board
and an active convention delegate.
has visited most Of the principa
realty offices in the country, incor-
porated his personal ideas and those
Of his firm associates in developing
this reception room.
The remainder of the first floor was
designed especially for real estate
business purposes. Part of the sec
ond floor also will be used by the
firm. The remaining floor space has
been turned into public offices. In the
basement are mems and wornen's
restrooms. There is an electric ele-
vator in each building. The struc-
ture adjoining the Boss & Phelps
building is similar in design to the
latter.
The former home of. the firm was
at 1406 II street northwest
