Considering the cost of construction
exceeds the estimate by 20 per cent,
the grand total of all new buildings

enormous sum of S1,2O8, 717.1O.
An average annual addition in new

Assuming so per cent of the cost

sum of s659,948.55 must have been
paid out for labor for building op-

Crowd Gathers
Fifteen minutes before the time set
for the convention to come to order
the hall was filling rapidly. The band,
located up at one corner of the stage
behind the seats reserved for the ma
Eonal committee blared out an air
now and then which mixed with the
hum of the arriving delegates and
visitors. There were some great
empty spaces in the banks seats in the
enormous galleries.
When the band rested the great
100000 pipe organ with its 10000
pipes burst out in melody and filled
the great hall with of the
chords of a stirring air suggesting
assembly.
There vas a cOlorful accompain-
ment to the organ music as the light
ine apparatus was turned on and the
nall was flooded with various shades
Of lights. At times it was a dark
purple light that flooded the entire
assembly and then it changed to a
burst of light resembling the rising

REALTORS APPROVE
MELLON TAX PLAN
Local Boards All Over u. S. Back
ing Indorsing of Proposed
Cut in Schedules.

Realtors in local real estate boards
throughout the country and in num-
Der Of state associations have taken
decided action backing the Meilon
plan of federal tax revision, accord
ing to resolutions sent to the Ma
tional Association Of Real Estate
Boards in support OF the position
taken December 10 by the national
association indorsing the program OF
the Secretary of the Treasury and
urging Congress to take immediate
action to carry out its provisions.
Individual action by thousands OF
realtors urging their congressman to
sustain the program as now approved
by the House ways and means COM
mittee has been added to the weight
of the campaigns being carried for
tax revision by the local and state
bodies and by the national associa-
tion.
Amendment proposals, however well
intentioned, cannot but act to confuse
the issue, the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards holds. The plan
as now embodied in the administra-
ton revenue bill should go through
as proposed, not as partisan meas
ure. but as the most hopeful con-
crete program for releasing business
activity from burdens and restraints
which tend to impede enterprise to
the detriment Of the country's pros
perity.
Any attempt at revision by this or
that group will, in the opinion of the
association, tend TO the destruction of
the plan itself.

DISCRIMINATION URGED
IN CHOICE OF DRAPERIES
An Easy Way to Play Safe Is by
Keeping to Plain
Materials.

When the walls are figured careful
discrimination is required in choos-
tng draperies. OF course, it is easy to
play safe by keeping plain materials,
out III many cases a more decorative
'eSult can be produced through q
right choice of pattern. The rule is
that the pattern of the wall covering
and that OF the hangings must show
/ pronounced difference in scale
that is, the figures i'll one must be no.
ticeably larger than in the other.
Usually the Smaller-Scaie pattern
will he adopteC for the vail paper.
The unpleasant effect of having walls
and draperieS scaled alike Nas DEM
Jnstrated d few years ago when Ger
tain wall paper manufacturers in
quest of novelty reproduced d num-
Ger of cretonne designs in order that
cisely match. The result was so
nonotonous and fatiguing to the eye
that the new fad quickly died. and
It Is to be hoped that there will be
no resurrection.

color of the draperies. the obvious

are taupe or putty. draperies should
not be OF the same coior unless there
are so many important pictures and
other objects of decoration in the
room that it seems advisable to make
the windows an inconSpicuouS por-
lion of the general back ground. In
such case they may be the same
color as the walls, but a tone or two
lighter or dark the lat

When plain hangings are to ac-
