T. N selecting permanent Home, the
prime considerations are:
l. The House Itself
2. The Location
B. The Initial Price
T. The Maintenance Cost
From the detailed description at the
right, it will be readily seen that these
Homes satisfactorily meet all tests OF
design and completeness that can be
applied to them.
In location the Houses have many
distinct advantages. Situated on the
City edge of fashionable Chevy Chase
and practically right on Connecticut
Avenue itself, the route by either motor
or electric car is both direct and at
tractive. > =..
Judicious purchase of the land and
economical handling of construction
costs have enabled us to fix price
these Homes far below their real worth.
Not only is the property a good invest
nent from the standpoint of its present
value, but it is bound to appreciate
rapidly in the very near future.

in the selection of materials and

FIRE PREVENTION
GAINING GROUND

A Doubling Thomas says, ARE fire
prevention activities producing de-
sirable results?" The fact Is cited
that fire losses in dollars and cents
are increasing year by year regard
less Of the efforts OF insurance COM
panies and fire prevention organiza-
lions to curtail the loss.
1t would be a severe indictment OF
the intelligence OF the American peo-
pie II 1t could be said that they had
paid no attention to all the effort
exerted in their behalf to secure their
cooperation in reducing fire losses.
But such is not the case. Even
though 1t is true that in dollars and
cents, aggregate fire loss increases
year by year, it is also true that value
of burnable property is increasing
proportionately much faster than in
crease in fire losses.
That people are beginning to ap-
preciate and head campaigns in in
terest of fire prevention is evidenced
by modern building laws which re-
quire slow burning, or %so-called fire
proof construction. For some time
there will remain the menace Of fire
traps filled with contents especially
subject to quick destruction by fire.

Until the process OF educating the

Bout With Madden Tonight Turn.
 ing Point in Career

New York, June 9. With the chance to earn tho right to meet Luis lirpo and Jack Dempsey as special incentive to victory, Harry Wills will engage Bartley Madden in a 15-round bout at the new Greensboro stadium tonight. This will be Will's first real battle in two years and will mark the first successful attempt out of five ef- forts to bring the two heavyweights together during the past six months Injuries to Wills and interference by fire department officials prevented the other four scheduled bouts.
 The experts are practically unan- nous in predicting victory for Wills. adden, however, is confident he can win.
 Ii is generally conceded that Wills must put Madden away in order to prove himself worthy challenger of Dempsey.
 In spite Of the heavy rain storm yesterday, there was a heavy demand for tickets for tonights fight. Among the more critical observers will he Tex Rickard. who hopes to match Wills and Dempsey at Boyle'S Thirty Acres in Jersey City later in the sum- mer.
