only a narrow partition on either side
of the room to separate them: thus
there is a Spaciousness in the appear

possible If they met each other at an
angle. One may sit at the dining room

beautiful to look at and made SO that
they are easy TO keep clean. For
instance, the sink nowadays can be Of

the reach of every purse. Ice boxes

these have all revolutionized not only
the appearance of the kitchen. but
the ease with which the work is
done.
In this plan the kitchen dresser is

BY II. l.. MekEEVER.

One Of the most frequently asked
questions pertaining to real estate in
the District OF Columbia is the sta
bility of the present values. This, in
the opinion Of the writer. is the funda-
mental question involved in every piece
of real estate in the National Capital,
as well as elsewhere. The present dis
cussion will, however, be confined to
the District of Columbia. Every pur-
chaser of real estate, whether the
transfer be a vacant lot, residence,
investment in an apartment house or
business property. is vitally concern
ed in the fundamental question as to
the stability of his investment.
In the first place, all wealth is
based on land, and the great fortunes
of the country have had their foun-
dations in wise real estate invest
ments. This is true for various rea-
sons, one of the most important of
which is that real estate as such
that is, land-cannot be destroyed
and can always be used in some form
or other. whereas stocks and bonds,
oil, gold and silver and other COM
modities representing wealth or
value are subject to destruction in
many ways.
Question Investigated.
In OrQer TO determine "hether
values in Washington have a greater
degree of stability than in other
cities of the same size, we have at
tempted to make some Investigations
and to secure some facts and figures
to back up our judgment in the mat
ter
Washington, being the Capital City
of the country and seat of it's Gov
ernment, must go on and continue as
long as the Government exists. Wash
ington from its inception has been
made primarily a city for the conduct
of the Governments business, and all
other constructive activities shave
been kept out, excepting such indus
tries essential to the welfare of the
residents of the city. In other words,
the industry" of Washington is the
Government of the United States AS
the Governments business continues
to increase from year to year it be-
comes necessary for more people to
live in Washington to carry on the
business of the Government

Other cities are affected by the rad
ical rise and fall in the property Of
their basic industries For instance
Pittsburgh is largely affected by the
rise and fall in the price of steel and
, iron. AS these periods of prosperity
strike the various industries they are
naturally reflected in the rise and
fall of real estate values. Numerous
similar instances could be cited which
are only too apparent to the thinking
person.
AS the business of Washington is,
the business of conducting the Gov-j
ernment and as this business requiresd
degree of intelligence of wider1
scope than is required for the conduct3
of most manufacturing industries, III
becomes apparent that the type of
Washington citizenship rises above
that of most cities
United States census figures show
that go per cent of the wage earners
in Washington have an income above
$4,000 per year, which means, when
translated into terms of real estate
that there are more potential invest
Crs in real estate in Washington
than in any other city of its size in
the United States
Figures as indicating the possibili-
ties of real estate values in the fu-
ture are very interesting in the fight of
what they mean in the years to come
Thus, it is interesting for us to note
that 5S per cent of the white people in
the District of Columbia live in indi-
vidual houses and that the other As per
cent live in apartments, hotels, fats or
boarding houses
As the logical and natural thing
for most families to do is to live in
d home, 1t is apparent, therefore, that
there is broad field for investment
in this particular line. Another in
teresting fact along this same line is
that 20 per cent of the population of
the District of Columbia live in rent
ed quarters, either apartments or
houses, compared with general
average in other cities of the United
States of 50 per cent. Thus it is again
apparent that this field in the future
is rich with promise. and that as this
per centage of renters is reduced
values will not be likely to suffer a
decline.
In my opinion one of the most
