Mrs. Maude Townsend
Matthews Men1oriaLized
(Communicated.)

On Wednesday of last week, May
%, the sad news of the death of
Mrs. Maude Townsend Matthews
reached her friends and relatives in
this city. Mrs. Matthews died at her
home, 1916 Eutaw Place, Baltimore,
following a brief attack of mastoid
trouble from which she had suffered
before on several occasions:
Her remains were brought to the
home Of her aunt and uncle, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ira T. Stevenson on Thursday
and after a funeral service at the M.
P. Church on Friday were inferred in
the family lot in the M. P. cemetery.
Mrs. Matthews was we'll known to
the people of this town. Entering
her aunt's family at the age of three
she literally grew up as a daughter
fMr. and Mrs. Stevenson, and SIS
ter to their only child, Mrs. Franklin
Dennis. She was of an affectionate
and tenderly loyal disposition and
made many friends in whatever circle
she moved.
After her marriage to Frank B.
Matthews, she was her husbands
right hand in the conduct of the Par
ker House in this city and when they
left the hotel, in order that Mr.. Mat
thews might accept position in Bal
timore, they carried the regrets OF
the entire community.
In the M. P. Church here, of which
she was member until short while
before her death when she transferred
her membership to North Baltimore
NJ. P. Church, Mrs. Matthews was an
interchangeable worker. A member OF
the choir, she was always ready to
sing when occasion presented itself
and her sweet voice added much to
the church services and was always
greatly enjoyed.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Mat
thews leaves two sisters, five broth
ers, the aunt, uncle and cousin with
whom she was brought up, and q
number of other relatives to mourn
her loss. r."
1t seems mysterious to us that this
useful young woman should be taken
in her prime of life from the husband
who was so devoted to her and from
other dear ones, but Gods ways are
not our ways and through faith we
are able to say Gods way is best; He
doeth all things we'll.
The following friends and relatives
from out of town attended the flu
neral:
George Matthews and Mrs. Robert
Miller, BROTHER and sister of Frank
B. Matthews, Of Westminster; Mrs,
Floyd Bump, Baltimore; Mr.. and Mrs.
William Townsend and children, Cir
dletree; Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Shreeyes
Of New Church; Mr.. and Mrs. William
Marshall and Miss Mollie Townsend
of Stockton; Miss Florence Marshall

A JeW's Conception
 Of q Good Citizen

Lord, who shall abide in thy tab ernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speak eth the truth in his heart.
 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neigh bor, nor taketh up reproach against his neighbor.
 In whose eyes a vile person is condemned; but he honoreth them that fear the Lord. He that swear eth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
 He that putteth not out his money tc usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent He that doeth these things shall never be moved. Ps. 15. So near is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to Man, When Duty whispers low, "Thou
 must"
 The youth replies, "I can."

REMARKABLE ESSAY BY INDIAN BOY ON
 AMERICAN SUBJECT

Victor August Wacker, of Wacker, Alaska, a suburb of Ketchikan, who won the prize offered by the Ameri- can Legion for the best essay in the Alaska-wide contest on the subject of "Why America Should Prohibit Immigration For Five Years," told his story in few words. And, though brief, and from the pen of school boy, the essay breaches a ser- r'on of large and important and vital issues which scarcely could be cov- cred much more creditably by the best statesmen and editorial brains. The essay is as follows:
 "Why America Should Prohibit Immigration For Five Years"
 America should prohibit immigra- tion for five years, in order to give us a better opportunity to assimilate, educate, and teach the immigrants who are here, the true principles of our Constitution and Americanism. and impress on them the significance of our flag.
 Illiterate aliens are easily led by radical propagandists who wish to hinder rather than develop our coun- try.
 There are many aliens that mis- construe the meaning of the words Free Country" First of all, they should learn that this is a free coun- try in every sense of the word, but subject to the Constitution and laws of the United States.
 Immigrants educated according to cur Constitution and American rrin. ciples always make more peaceful, lawabiding and better American cit izens.

NEW BUILDING INCREASE
CONTINUES OVER COUNTRY
Federal Reserve Boards Report SI'o'cs
Contracts for Nine Months of 1924
Slightly Aboue Record in 1923.

New building operations. increasing
ln% volume throughout the country
Zach year since 1921, are slightly
ahead for the first three quarters in
1924 over the corresponding period
in 1923, says the November Federal
Reserve Bulletin is a report just pub
lished
Residential buildings have shown
a steady growth from year to year,
hut contracts for other types of
buildings have been smaller in volume
during the past two years than in
1922
This national condition has been
particularly reflected in the construc-
tion activities in Washington during
the past year, where there seems to
have been a let-up in the volume of
apartment house and commercial
buildings and a very great jump
ahead in the construction of dwellings.
One feature of the report is that
the indexes of the cost of building
materials have shown a decline in the
past year.
Kept Employment Up.
The effect of the great construc-
tion activity throughout the United
States during the first three quarters
of the year is shown in the statement
given employment to more than
100000 persons and has exercised
sustaining effect upon the building
material Industries. Cement plants
have had a record production during
the first nine months of this year.
One feature of the boom is that the
value of the building permits has
increased much more rapidly since
1919 than either the value for volume
of the contracts awarded. This fact
is ascribed by the Federal Reserve
Board to the following reasons: That
the permits only represent urban
building, which has increased more
rapidly in recent years than rural
building; the change of the definition
of building permits in many cities
and that the value of the permits in
1919 and 1920 were too low, due to
the rapid advancement of prices and
the belief that low valuation might
result In low tax assessments.
An analysis of the contract awards
by types of building indicates that
residential construction has shown a
steady growth since 1920 and reached
a peak in the Spring of this year.
Contracts for business buildings, in
dustrial buildings and educational
buildings reached peak in 1922 that
has not been exceeded since.
Advances In Costs.
The report of the board states that
the expansion in volume of building
during the years 1921, 1922 and 1923
was accompanied by substantial
rise in the prices of building ma
terials and by numerous advances in
the wage scales. This increased cost
of construction reached its peak in
the Spring of 1923, with a decline
during the Spring and Summer of this
year
The demand for most building ma
terial has continued to be large. Both
shipments and cut of lumber have
been somewhat smaller in 1924 than
in 1928. particularly during the Sum-
mer months, and prices of both soft
woods and hardwoods have declined
since early Spring. Stocks of yellow
pine are about the same size as a
year ago, but stocks of flooring are
considerably larger. Production of
oak flooring has been larger than in

Honeymoon House
Cozy and Small
This Shingle Cottage Costs
Little to Construct.

This little cottage is perhaps the
smallest house that could possibly be
built with any degree of comfort and
beauty. 1t is such house as many
young people would like to start house
keeping in. 1t can be built in any part
Of the country, for it is made of shin
giles. Nevertheless, it could be devel-
oped in clapboardS or stucco, or even
stone, with quite as much charm. 1t
is quaint and lovely in any material
and the extra touches which interests
and tastes will inspire not only in the
exterior, the garden and landscaping,
but in the interior, with its many pos
sibilities for changes to suit ones exact
needs-will produce for the home seeker
as charming and practical house as
could be desired.
Compare the exterior of this design
with many of the boxlike exteriors of
the smaller house. and you will see
how unusually attractive this home
will be-
The arrangement of the rooms has
been thought out carefully. The design
is, therefore, compact and simple and
the expense of construction has been
kept down to the least possible amount.
There is a large living room. dining
room, kitchen and hall on the first
floor. The entrance is from little
porch into vestibule, in which is
a convenient coat closet. The stairway
rises directly from the hall, making a
turn to the right to reach the upper

1923, as result Of an increased vol
ume of orders and larger shipments.
Maple flooring output, on the other
hand, has been much curtailed, as new
orders have been smaller than last year
Cement shipments have been larg-
er in 1924 than in any previous year
on record, and production has shown
corresponding increase, rejecting
the great volume of concrete high
way construction. Stocks of cement
are slightly larger than in earlier
manned unchanged throughout the
year to date at a higher level than
in 1928.
Brick shipments by railroads dur
ing the first six months of 1924 We're
Z per cent less than in the corre-
spending period a year earlier, and
there has been a decrease in produc-
ton. Stocks are slightly larger than
last year. and the volume of un-
filled orders has been reduced. Prices s
declined sharply in July and August,
but have been firmer during Septem-
ber and October.
Sales of structural steel were much
smaller in the first four months of
1924 than a year earlier. but in each
of the following four months were
in excess of sales in the correspond
ing months of 1928. AS a result, the
total sales this year have been about
equal in volume to those year ago
Prices of steel shapes which re-
mained unchanged throughout most
of 1923, have been considerably re-
duced during 1924.

kind of home life makes for true sue
cess in life and means progress for
the Nation as whole.
ITO own a home and to make it
convenient and attractive, home
where health and happiness. affection
and loyalty prevail brings out the
best that lies in every member of the
family.
Saving for home ownership, for
instance, develops thrift and self
denial. A thing of lasting value is
kept in the foreground and all ener-
gies are bent toward attaining it.
Hours devoted to keeping a home in
good repair, in making improvements
that beautify 1t or tighten the burden
of Housekeeping, develop persistence
and thoroughness and bring more di-
rect returns as well. Neatness, order
and cleanliness are invaluable habits,
and the careful observation and fore
thought needed to insure lasting sat
tsfaction from money spent for deco
ration, furnishing and equipment can
be applied in many other ways.
Look to Old Age.
Parents who save in order to own
their home are able to look forward
with confidence TO a happy old age,
whereas the great majority who do
not save become dependent on some
one else as they grow older. 1t is by
the familiar experiences of family
life that thrift, honesty, straight
forwardness and self-discipline are
best instilled
In the crowded life of today
there is danger that we may lose
sight of the high standards for the
home and the stimulus they afford.
We all do better when we have a
high ideal to live up to. The better

our national life forward
