BUYING HOME LIKE
BONDS |SADv|SED

A house is or should be an invest
ment. Therefore it should be honest
iy constructed. One of the most i'm
portant lessons for the home buyer to
learn is that the initial cost of
house is not its full cost. 1t pays as
well to spend a little more on pur-
chase price if thereby repair bills
and maintenance costs are kept down
And it pays not only in dollars and
cents but in satisfaction as we'll for
the house that soon begins to go to
pieces. that soon looks sha bby, is
quite the opposite OF a Joy forever"
Here are some of the things to be
watched Has the ground Immediate
Iy outside the walls been drained so
that water will not lie against these
walls and soak into them? Is the
cellar well drained and dry; well
lighted and ventilated? Is the founda-
tion well built? Are the beams and
joists heavy enough and of good ma
terial? Are the floors and woodwork
of good material, we'll seasoned and
of good workmanship? Is the hard
ware docks. hinges, fixtures. etc.)
strong enough to stand usage? Are
IL brick, of good quality with good
quality mortar: If frame. of good
lumber. we'll seasoned and well paint
ed with three coats of paint? What
kind of sheathing is used? Is wood
we'll seasoned? Is the roofing of a
material well adapted to the climate
and of good quality? what material
is used for flashing.
Recently there has been some dis
cussion of the heat-retainng quality
of walls. 1t is advocated that open
ings that permit circulation of cold
air between outer and inner walls
shall be filled in. This adds but little
to the cost of building and in cold
weather aids materially in reducing
the coal bill Incidentally it aids in
reducing fire hazard and ratproofing.
For the latter care must be taken
that there are no unscreened openings
through foundation walls into a
cellar and that all openings from a
cellar to the space between outer and
inner walls of stories above shall be
filled with ratproof material.
Much attention ia now being given
to standardiZing the parts of n house
both to reduce initial cost and TO
make replacement easier and less ex-
pensiZe. Are the doors, windows and
other parts of the house of standard
stock sizes?

BY ROGER w. BABSoN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass. June
s2.-Roger Babson today states that
there is nothing for business men to
fear In the present reported demands
of labor.
"A few months ago | was disturbed
at the attitude of labor. especially
labor in the building trades" says
Mr.. Babson. Wages had only been
partly adjusted, following the abnor-
mally high wages during the war.
when the business boosters turned
,the tide and prevented any further
adjustments. This was unfortunate
for all concerned. l say for all be-
cause when the reimbursement In
wages stopped the reduction in the
cost of living also stopped. Wage
sworkers gain nothing by simply get
ting more money in their pay enVel-
opes when II is offset by higher living
costs. They can gain permanently
only by producing more goods.
Wage Workers Living Well.
Wage workers are enjoying better
living conditions today, not 50 much
because of their labor unions, but be-
cause of improved machinery. better
management and the reduced cost of
manufacturing. What labor needs is
a readjustment in the cost of living
in the terms of food clothing and
shelter. This can never be brought
day The higher wages are in the
building trades. the higher rents are,
and no one but the tax collector gains
anything through the rise in wages.
This has been the situation during
the past few months.
There is today, however. a change
for the better in the attitude of labor.
This has been very evident during
the past two weeks. Labor leaders
are now better posted in the funda-
mentals of economics than they used
to be. The abler labor leaders see
the. dangers of getting into another
imitation of wages and prices before
the present area of business readjust-
ment is completed. Today the inf1a-
tion of 1916-1920 has only been 60 per
cent Debated.
THE wisest labor leaders see this
and are putting on the brakes. They
themselves are glad to see some of
the proposed building programs sus-
pended. Yes, the labor situation
looks much better today than it has

WAGES INCREASED
In BUILDING TRADES

BALTIMORE. June 2.-Wage in
creasea in the building trades are
outsiripping increases in the cost OF
living. it is asserted in the report
of Baltimore business conditions for
May, by A. S. Goldsborough, secre-
tary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association. He said wages
have jumped 10 to 35 per cent and
living costs, since March. 1922, in
creased 2.3 per cent.
Building costs here have increased
considerably, according to Mr.. Colds
borough. not only by wage raises.
but by increases of about SO per cent
in building materials. This. he fears.
will cause a slump in building ac-
tiVities. He said:
THE danger lies not so much in
the natural desire of labor TO get
higher wages. The trouble is as to
how it will affect the building or the
buying public. When material and
labor costs rise together the public
must stick to the ground"
