a slight dropping off in construc-
4ion activities in the District during
The month of November in comparison
son with the preceding month is
shown in a survey of the records of
the office of the building inspector.
The value of building operations in
the District last month amounted to
S3.S33,421, as compared with $4.04S,236
in October, or decrease of $2t4S15.
Not only was there a drop in COM
partson with October operations. but
November of 1923 was $5S1.441 ahead
of the same month this year.
There should be no alarm. however,
that this indicates any general slump
in construction in the National Capt.
tai. The number OF individual prof.
ects in November, 1923, was i30 less
than November of this year.
Activity in Big Building.
There has been a great deal of ac-
tivity in large office buildings and big
apartment houses, whose construction
has contributed to the alteration of
tho city skyline in many instances
There is no question that never be
fore in the history of the National
Capital has so much money been eX-
pended within so short a period on
residential construction and the re-
modelling and erection of smaller
places of business-Connecticu ave-
nue., X street between Fourteenth
and Sixteenth. the Eighteenth and
Columbia road district, as examples.
During the first part of the new
year a great many undertakings In
new buildings, will be opened in
Washington. The values of these
buildings will mount into the many
millions
There Is the new 100000 May
flower Hotel on Connecticut avenue

office and theater structure. the
Earle, at Thirteenth and L streets,
the new Hecht store and the Lans-
burgh store addition. Work is now
we'll on the way on the new Federal
American National Bank building and
the addition to the New Willard Ho-
tel; an addition to the American Sc
curlty and Savings Bank; a seven
story Office and store building on F
street. a 100000 hotel will be start
ed in the Spring at Sixteenth and II
streets; many new apartment houses
are in process of erection and many
are planned
New Work Planned.
Discussion with financiers, real
estate men, builders and investors
shows that there are number of prof.
ects in their minds. The immensity
of some are startling. Some of these
undertakings are being held off by
inability to obtain the desired ground
at proper prices, but it is sufficient to
know that there are a great number
of projects in the offing that will
bring a great Improvement to the city
of Washington, especially in the busi-
ness section.
This month, as has been the case
for the past several months, dwell
ings head the construction list. When
this total of 247 residences is COM
pared with the total of November of
1929, which was 81, it will be readily
seen the tendency of the builders has
been to give Washington its much
needed houses.
Apartment construction picked up
in November, when $S05,000 was ex-
pended in this type of building, as
compared with $4,000 in the pre-
Ceding month. Both of these, how
ever, are far behind the total of

FIRE LOSSES IN PAST YEAR
$5O,OOO,OOO LESS THIN 1923
Sho'On by Surrey of Conditions Through
out the Country-Board of Trade
ReUie,O A applied to ID. C.

last month, it is expected that the
total loss to the country for the year
will be S50,0Oo,000 less than the huge
loss of S337,923 800 in 1929. This sit
uation is also reflected in the Dis
trict, where, according to the annual
report of the Washington Board of
| Trades committee on insurance and
fire protection, fire losses during the
past fiscal year were reduced so per
cent, or $1,052,66 under 1929.
The decrease in the District is con-
sidered as a notable achievement in
view Of the lack of adequate appa-
| ratus and a high-pressure system that
| Is used in many other cities.
Losses Throughout United States.
Fire losses throughout the United
States rose in November to S37,493-
$50, compared with 1862, 400 in Oc-
tober. Seldom are the losses so heavy
and distributed among so many lines
OF business, says the Underwater of
New York.
Spreading fires were particularly
heavy, showing that poor construc-
tion has much to do with failure to
keep small fires within the buildings
or origin. Fire engineers are begin
ming TO urge better construction in
stead of SO much oral and verbal en-
phasis upon carelessness. Europeans
have small fire losses compared with
ours, but they are not more careful;
they have better construction In many
cases, and they waste less in fuel and
accumulate less rubbish.
The tabulation of losses appended
demonstrates forcibly the dangerous
condition in which all sorts of heat
ing apparatus is when the first cold
days of Winter come. With poor
| construction and faulty pipes and
I flues there can be no other result. 1t
| takes a. fire to correct those over
| sights that could have been remedied
at small cost comparatively.
In November the number of sup
! posed incendiary fires was far above
| the average for other months of the
year. The heavy garage losses are
| customary at this time and are be-
! lieved to reflect some moral hazard
! The same may be said of the hotel
| losses coming at the end of the Sum
ner season. Colleges and schools
| burn principally because of poor con-
struction and carelessness.
In spite Of the heavy loss in No
vember, the total losses for the year
| will almost surely be about 5O,O00,-
| 900 under those of 1923, which totaled
S337, 7,923,30O.

Nevertheless, that manner of embel-
fishing many smart things accessory to
fashionable wardrobe is very much
the rage.
From some Of the most prominent
houses at Paris are received lovely
gowns for evening, afternoon and more
intimate wear-tea gowns, negligees,
lingerie, millinery, hosiery on which a
pattern is painted The materials are
all of the softest and gauziest, on
which the painted design stands out
most effectively.
On dinner gowns and dance frocks
border of floral designs is charming,
and is usually done on white or DELI
cate shade, though one of the most
striking things Of this sort shown by
French artist is in black chiffon on
which a wide border and clusters of
field flowers are skillfully painted in
natural colorS.
Little Imagination is required to
visualize q dinner gown Of apple green
on which is painted lilies and narcis-
sus, or one of pale lavender as back
ground for feathery scattered sprays
of heather.

Favor Winsome Colors;
May Change Waistline

In all these "dressy'' gowns are seen
the most enchanting colors. BY what
ever new name they are labeled they
are easily recognized as orchid. hy-
drangea blue, or pink; apple. pea, or
Jade green; blue of every shade, mill
tant or celestial; rose, coral, flame and
all the yellows, violets, lavenders
known or imagined. These, in combi-
nations, symphonies and contrasts, are
extravagantly illustrated with the
most beautiful materials.
A radical change in the waistline is
suggested in some of these new
models, sponsored by the best artists
in Paris. Chanel, for example, who
was a pioneer in the low waistline
idea, is turning out some Of her char
acteristic designs, in which the belt
is placed at the normal boundary. AS
a rebound from the extremes, to which
the line has lately been marked, at
the hip and, latest Of all at the knee.
One radical point on the soft and
fluff gowns is the sash. The proper
place for such bow, according to
tradition, is at the back, and when the
gown is to assume picturesque quality
1t NAV he moved to the side. But In
the fresh frock, according to the latest
wrinkle. the sash must be tied directly
In front. wherever the waistline is sur
veyed. The ultra-correct manner Of
fastening it is with tiny nosegay of
artificial flowers.

One Most Satisfactory
Wdy for Coddling Eggs

Many means have been suggested
for cooking eggs in such a way that
the yolks will be cooked and the
whites will not be overlooked. One
of the most satisfactory is by cod
ding, which is done as follows: Al
low cupful Of water to each egg,
bring the water to the boiling point,
remove it from the fire, put in the
eggs, cover the dish closely and leave
the eggs in the water for about seven
minutes There is some uncertainty
about this method, for eggs differ in
weight and also in temperature at the
time the cooking begins On the
whole, the best results can be OBJ
tanned by pouring hot water over eggs,
if the same dish with the same amount
of water is always used, but each cook
must make her own rules.

PRODUCE AND CARE
FOR MILK PRODUCTS
Cleanliness VIII Help Quail
ity and Flavor.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Milk and cream are among the most
perishable and easily contaminated OF
all foods, and since they are often
served uncooked, they may be a men
ace to health unless produced ana
handled in a cleanly way. Milk pro-
duced for home use on the farm de-
serves as careful attention as 1t would
receive in a first-class dairy. Cleanll-
ness in milking, the use Of sterilized
utensils, prompt straining and cool
ing Of the milk, and keeping 1t at
temperature of so degrees E. or less
If possible, in place free from doors,
dust, and flies will bring large re-
turns in quality and flavor and con-
sequently in family well-being. Inc
indifference or aversion of farm chill
dren to milk has been traced in many
cases to the fact that milk smells and
tastes Of the COW, the stable, and OF
poorly washed utensils.
The proper care Of milk, butter
and cheese is very important. 1t Is
discussed in a new Farmers Bulletin
1874, Care of Food in the Home, which
may be obtained by applying to the
United States Department OF Agrlcul-
ture.
Milk bought from dairy is best
kept until used in the bottles in which
It is delivered. They should be
brought indoors as soon as possible
after delivery, washed, and placed
in the refrigerator or ether storage
place where the temperature is %
degrees f. or preferably less. In
washing, special attention should be
given to the mouth of the bottle and
the cap.> Even temporary rise in
the temperature Of milk aids the de-
velopment Of bacteria.
! Butter should be kept cold and In
covered container that excludes
light and prevents the absorption or
foreign favors Creamery print but
ter keeps we'll in the cartons in which
it is marketed Butter purchased in
bulk should be rinsed off with cold
water to remove any drops Of butter
milk which may have come to the
surface and may then be wrapped in
several thicknesses of cheesecloth wet
in weak brine.
Cheese of any kind is especially
susceptible to mold, but 1t can be
protected to some degree by keeping
it cool and well wrapped in waxed
paper Soft cheeses should be left
in their original containers until
used. The odor Of cheese is so pene-
trating that it should be kept in a
tight container if stored near but
ter, eggs, or other foods likely to be
favored by it.

Plaits Still Hold Own
in World of Fashion

A chiffon evening gown in beau
tiful shade between red and rose, and
an afternoon frock in a new shade
called "banane" that is warm vel
low attracted much admiring comment.
1t is made Of yellow crepe de chine
and trimmed with very fine plaitings
of the silk. These plated fiounces are
placed diagonally upon the skirt and
are so skillfully arranged that it is
hard to decide where one begins and
another leaves off. The high cuffs are
also edged with narrow plated frills.
Plaits continue to more than hold their
own in the world Of fashion.

Oriental Designs
O. KID for Season
Bizarre Figures, Vivid Hues
Distinguish New Crepes
and Chiffons.

Thp difference between the modes
ST spring and summer are, of course,
not as fundamental as the changes
which occur in the autumn and spring,
except for the question of fabrics,
where distinctions are sharply drawn,
declares fashion writer in the New
York Herald-Tribune. And the most
obvious and assured trend of the new
summer materials is toward printed
silks-a trend inspired by the severity
of the masculine tailleur which re-
quires the most vivid colorings and
effects to provide an occasional relief
note.
The design and color of the summer
fabrics go back to the cradle of silk
civilization for their inspiration They
show the strong influence of China
and the East as foreshadowed at the
Chinese Grand Prix ball in Paris.
Turkish and Arabian motifs, Spanish
and primitive African art are crowded
for the first place by the most exqui-
site designs of the empire.
The strongest note in the 1924 print
ed silks is the traverse or horizontal
movement of the design. This is no.
ticeable whether it occurs in the small
patterns or in the large repeats Per-
haps this traverse or barre effect is
responsible for the mode of scarfs, for
the Partisan couturiers are very fond
of cutting these silks into the long
scarfs with which the gown is
trimmed
From the Riviera indications are
that the greatest demand of the sum-
mer mode will be for materials in
which the designs are made uplOf very
small units distributed over the cloth,
both as to color and design, so that
from a distance the fabric seems to
be almost plain. From SO many pat
terms it is difficult to select those Of
particular merit, but decidedly the
most original are the woodcut motifs.
In these an entirely new technique
that Of the wood engraver-is intro

ton of certain of the East Indian and
Persian designs embodied in new
French patterns. Here one finds much
variegated coloring and the printed
figures wander all over the surface,
almost covering the background.
An important note is the polka dot,
which is distinctly modish this season,
although old-fashioned almost to the
point of being classic. 1t appears in
brilliant yellow-tans with brown spots,
or vice versa, as well as in odd combi-
nations of mauve. 1t is always mono
tone and never in white with color.
Printed plaids are quite as impor-
tant as the woven effects and even
more interesting colorings are obtained
in these than in the yarn-dyed pat
terms. This type of printing is con-
fined to crepe de chine and chiffon.

falls over the brim edge and is ex-
tended into long scarf. Nothing was
ever more flattering than lace about
the face and throat. The hat at the

about the brim edge by little cur
tain of malines. This model is made
OF crepe, overlaid with braid en-
