n. 3. TERRETT OPENS
HOMES IN FAIRLAvvN, VA.

One of the evidences OF the rapid
growth OF Washington is the con
tinued building going on in the
suburbs. dudreds of excellent
homes have been erected around
the city in tl1e past few months and
hundreds OF others are now under
construction or planned.
II. B. Tefrett has recetly com.
pleted five very attractive five room
and bath houses in Abingdon, one
Of Washinston's ~most promising
subdivisions. and will open them
to the public tomofrowaA
Mr.. Terrett states that he has
been especially careful in selecting
the material for these homes and
personally supervised the construc-
ton so as to insure the buyer that
he or she will get the best value
for the money invested.

LAND SELLS IN
ARLINGTON
COUNTY
Many New Homes Have Re-
Gently Been Completed
in Lee Heights.

| Arlington county real estate own
ers and dealers report an unprece-
denied amount of business for this
! period of the year. With the first
spring-like weather, numerous in
quirtes began to come in for Vir-
ginia properties of all descriptions,
from unimproved land and small
building sites, to estates of $4,000
to SIS 900.
Land values have gone up several
hundred per cent recently in some
sections of the county, and the
vast improvements in prospect are
said to justify the prediction that
values will continue to mount for
an indefinite period.
The opening of the $2,S50,O0 Key
Bridge a year ago, and the recent
completion of the new Lee High
way as fine paved thoroughfare
through Lee Heights and Falls
Church, to Fairfax had a striking
and immediate effect in stimulating
values in the county, particularly
in the northern half which the Lee
Highway serves. Money interests,
well as individuals, have been
making investments in this section
in the last few months and more
real estate transfers are reported
than in any similar period in the
county's history.
That, however, which has
awakened public interest in the in
yestment possibilities of Arlington
and Fairfax counties to a greater
degree than anything else Is the
decision of Congress to build tho
Memorial Bridge, work on which is
scheduled to begin June /. This
bridge is expected to be the most
imposing memorial In the United
States, If not in the world, and IN
addition, with its approaches, will
include one of the greatest single
park projects the country has ever
undertaken.
The advantages Of Arlington
county as a residential community,
emphasized by. these tremendous
improvements sponsored by the
Government, have resulted in a
record breaking amount of building
in the last two years. Coincident
with this a number of high class
subdivisions have been laid out and
developed. Ruby Lee Minar, owner
and developer of Lee Heights on
the Lee highway, reports that. more
than $500, 900 worth of residential
construction has been completed or
is now nearing completion in this
subdivision alone.
Lee Heights Is at the intersection
OF Lee highway with the Chain
Bridge road where the elevation 10
400 feet above the business section
of Washington. The property,
! which adjoins the grounds of the
| Washington Golf and Country Club
for some distance, stretches back
toward the Potomac river more
than a mile and a half.
Colonel William B. Pistols, Of the
| judge advocate generals office, and
Lieutenant Commander p. T. Wright
recently completed attractive homes
| in Lee Heights, and are now occu-
plying them with their families.
Doctor Morton w. Baker, Of the
Veterans Bureau, purchased a new
eight-room stucco house on the
Chain Bridge road.
Robert M. Bolton, OF The Wash
ington Herald. is completing a
home which he will occupy early
next month.

Phone Joins Brothers
In Odd Prank
of Fate

LEBANON, Pa, March 28.-
A Mexican ma m d Sanatos
Ynoia, was recently turned
over to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road agent here by the con-
ductor of the train on which
he arrived, helplessly confused
as the result of his inability to
speak English.
The ticket agent went on a
search for some one who could
speak Spanish. The agent at
Miners Village finally located
some one-a Mexican - he
thought would be able to un-
derstand the excited foreigner.
They got the other Mexican on
the phone and after consider
able persuasion, Ynoja took up
the receiver. In a flash the
man broke into smiles and ex-
ploded Spanish into the trans
mitteer at a mile a minute clip.
He discovered the man at the
other end was his brother,
Pedro Ynoja.
