Nesting Here Again Select Your Home From The AqeE
REALTY BOARD
OF BIRMINGHAM
SETS new PACE
Local Men, Start Move
ment Which Has Taken
National Scope

when the Birmingham Real Estate
board gave its endorsement to the prof
ect of staging am Own Your
Home" exhibition in Birmingham un'
der the management of H., N. Meehan,
it may be that not ALI of the citizens
of Birmingham realized how eminent
ly this city deserved such an expo
sition and how fitting it. was for the
real estate board to lend its endorse
ment to the movement" Sam G.
Starke, secretary, declared Saturday.
Back in the fall of 1915, Birming-
ham citizen, Hill Ferguson, of Jemison
and company, practically coined the
slogan Gown Your Home" that has
now become national in its use. In
that year campaign was put on in
Birmingham and due largely to Mr..
Ferguson's initiative and the publicity
and sanction given it by the National
Real Estate Journal, a similar Own
Your-Home" campaign was put on in
about 40 cities of the country.
So beneficial and so widespread was
the movement started in Birmingham
that the National Association of Real
Estate boards in 1917 awarded the Bir-
mingham board second place in the
achievement contest that year in COM
| petition with the other boards through
out the country.
Shortly after the armistice was sign
cd, the national government began to
lend itself to encourage in every way
this movement for home-ownership and
changed slightly Hill Ferguson's slo-
gan to the present Gown Your Own
Home" and has since been doing serv-
ice in the field in full recognition of the
vast significance of home-ownership in
the life and permanence of a nation.
ut is quite proper sto review thus
briefly the history of this movement
just on the eve of the opening of the
exposition Monday. Such expositions
have already been held in Buffalo,
Cleveland, indianapolis, Houston, Dali
las, Atlanta and probably other cities.
Mr.. Meehan, manager of the expo
sition that opens here Monday, is ad-
vised that Memphis, Winston Salem
and Norfolk are hoping to put on just
/ such an object lesson to encourage their
citizens to own their homes" Mr..
Starke said. -

STRAUSBUILDING
HARBORS RELICS

NEW YORK, n. Y, March 22-
When the S2-story Stratus building is
ragged 100 years from now, or even
several centuries hence, a little copper
box placed just prior to the completion
of the building in the corner stone of
this magnificent Chicago skyscraper
Will yield a valuable record relative
to history of America in 1924.
Besides containing a history Of the
construction of the building, the box
has a copy of the abstract of title,
copies of several magazines which have
articles on the Straus building, strip
of the motion picture film being taken
of the progress of construction, Chi
cago newspapers of the date that the
corner stone was sealed, and a pareh-
ment giving the names of all officers
and their associates who in any
way are identified with the buildingI
Five photograph records, with a
package of needles and explanation of
the method of playing the instrument,
are included. The records are rep
resentatives of various present day ar
lists, CALI Curci, Paderewski, Kreis-
Ter, and Sousa. A Layman's California
Ambassador Hotel orchestra number
was selected as a. representative of
modern jazz music.
There is a speculation as to the
possible length of time that the Straus
building viii stand. The more common
point Of. view is that, if such great
strides as have been made in build
ing construction in the last few decades
continue, the building will become OBJ
solete in rs to 100 years and that
the site will become so valuable, stu
ated as it is in the heart of the city
on one of the worlds greatest boule-
Yards, that it win be utilized for a
10O-story syscraper.
1t is pointed out. on. the other hand,
that history yields Dumberless examples
to prove that progress seldom continues
along the same line. SO j

HOLY MOSLEM CITY
IN GRAVE DANGER

LONDON, Oct. 1.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press. 1T has been learn
ed that a telegram was received IN
London from King Hussein of Ned
JAZZ, dated at Mecca, Saturday nighv,
describing the situation there as
every grave" No news has been
received, however, definitely indicat
ing that the city has fallen.
Advices in diplomatic quarters
lead to the belief that while Mecca
is seriously menaced by the besieg-
ing Wahabis, the only city is stiI,
being held by King Hussein.
1t is stated that by authoritative
sources that the British government
might interfere should the pilgrim
routes be jeopardized by the present
warfare. So far, howeve4, any move
toward Interference has not been
deemed necessary.
The British minister at Mecca mas
