COMPLETES 57
 HOMES LN WEST
 END IN A YEAR

Over 75 homes have been built and sold this past year in West End by the Estes Real Estate and Insurance company, said Claud H. Estes.
 Most of these homes were sold before they were completed and many of the whole blocks developed by the con1pany have been sold all together.
 This building has been in West End place where, moderate priced homes have been built since some time the past year. Mir. Estes says that this is the coming part of town for such homes and that the real estate transfers in this section sur pass in number those of any other.
 The majority of these homes are in the California style bungalow, but every house has a different roof and other features which give the street variety and yet retain the effect of conformity.
 A whole block of these houses have been built and most of them sold since very recently in Mir. Es- tes' favorite part, of West End. The streets which have been developed give a distinctive appearance to that part of Birmingham, says Mir. Estes.
 One of the reasons why this part is so favored, he says, is that it is on the best boulevards of Birming- ham and the street car service is also the best.

SYSTEM PROVING
 AID TO BUSINESS
Multiple Listing Selling Much Property, Schultz Y.
 Declares

With $580,331 worth of property sold since the latter part of June through the multiple listing, the sSs- tenn is declared to. be getting on its feet and stretching out it's arms.
 The multiple listing system was started by the real estate board in June, 1923. but it did not get good start until July, the first piece of prop erty being sold through it on June IS.
 At the start the system began with no more than ten members, but now it possesses 41, about 60 per cent of the Real Estate board, and it is these facts which prompt Ray Schultz of Smith- -Thro rocknorton-Schult Realty company to say that it has proven a success in Birmingham.
 a Cooperative
 Multiple listing is a system of CO., operation between realtors making it possible for property listed with one member to be listed with all. It is only necessary to request this when listing property, said Mir. Schultz.
 This would not sell unstable prop high, but was intended to expedite the sale of real live property, MT. Schultz pointed out. ,s
 Many Cities Follow
 It is also a notable fact that many other cities in the south are follow ing our example, as is shown by the president of the Montgomery real es- tate board, instituting the system in Montgomery" he said.
 Even in Florida the people have heard of the system and are much in terested in it. In the northern cities it has been an institution for some time, according to Mir. Schultz.

SMALL INSURANCE
 MAKES BIG LOSSES
Many People Of Moderate
 Means Add To Original

That many people do not insure their house against fire and burglary or insure their house insuffieientIy is the belief of w. F. Ensel of Meyer, Goldman & Engel Real Estate and Insurance company.
 ' Two thousand dollars worth of fur Enitmre and household goods will be added to the original property in 10 years by a man of moderate means, and this added property is very often not insnred. said Mir. Engel.
 These additions include everything from common beds to jardiniers, books, glassware. desks, davenports, pianos, talkllng machines, shades, rugs, tapes trless chairs, even brie-a-brae, are often overlooked. sometimes much to the re- gret of the owner, he said. Keeps Record
 Mr. Engel possesses a book which lists these different items according to the room 1t occupies, starting from the basement and going to the garret, not forgetting the bath room laundry, laundry, servants room or porch.
 Each possible piece of furniture is listed and the room where it is placed. This list has been printed for the con vlenlenee of those who may undergo l0ssess according O Mir. Engel.
 Very often a man has to make a list of what damage fire or burglary dld to certain pieces of property and g1ve the value of the piece of property when sueh loss occurs, and how is q man to do this when he has not made before am itemized list, he asked.
 Fire Hits Uninsured
 When questioned as to the number of people who are not insured on their A0usess Mir Engel said that surprising aS Ut might be. every once in q while a t1re occurs when q man carries little or no insurance and the loss at that tInne, of course, could not be repaid.
 In this kind of q situation the man probably intended to buy insurance as sN0n Ss he had time but kept putting 1t eff from day to day until it finally becomes too late, as the man who does not befleve in insurance has become timing of the past, he said.
 More often 1t Is the case that a man acquires a piece of valuable property and does not think of insuring it, feel ing safe In the chances against his be- ing robbed, stated Mir Engel.
 1t Is Mir EngeFs opinion that each piece of personal property should be insured SIS soon as it is bought and that am account should be kept of such addrtl0uS to the comfort of the family, as 0ne can never tell when misfortune wlll fall next.
 1t Is the simple duty to one's family and to oneself to carry full dnd ample insurance on everything insurable. from aut0mOoiles to sewing machines, he be- 6exess
 Lately q r. per cent cut has been authorized m burglary insurance; this has been since the first of the year and nanny people are taking advantage of it, Mr. EngeI announced.

BIBLES AT ELLIS. ISLAND Society Gave 2,16O Last Year To Ar.
 irving ImmigrantS

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.- More than S2,150 Bibles were given away in 1923 to immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. These were presentde by the New York Bible society. 5 East Forty-eighth street. This Asrks the ninetieth year of service by the Bible society among the immigrants.
 "Of the Bibles we gave away the greatest number were in the English language" said Charles A. Carroll of the Bible society, who is chairman of the sevel walfare societies of Ellis Island. Since the war the number of immigrants entering our country who can speak English has greatly in- creased. During thelast year we gave sway 15,000 German Bibles and over 1A 900 Italian Bibles. We have Bibles in B different languages.
 Most of our work is done in the TAilroad and detention rooms. The sailroad rooms are crowded with immi- fRants buying tickets to lumber camps, Eknches, farms and towns in the far &egt."
