When home is mentioned
we always think of a devoted
wife or mother.
In fact home is one OF life's
highest ideals.
If you are a man reading
this you should be earnestly
thinking how you can give
your family home of it's own.
If you are a woman, you
should be planning how you
can help to make the dreamed
of home come true.
Home ownership isn't be-
yond the average family un-
der our plan.
After the savings invested
with us have totalled to a
moderate amount, you are in
line for a home loan on terms
that are about the same as
rent.
Without any obligation
whatever, we would like to
talk it over with you.

HENRY WORRIES?

Sure thing, just as expected.
Uncle Sans shipping board didn't
know what to do with the 4OO excess
merchant vessels it had on its hands,
was wondering what in the world 1t
was going to do with this white ele-
phant with no one Offering solution
of the problem. but now that Henry
Ford offers to buy 'em and junk 'em
fierce howl goes up from big biz,
same as it did when Mr.. Ford made
his offer for Muscle Shoals, which a
few of the financiers were casting
hungry and longing eyes at. 1t seems
that Henry throws SO MANY
wrenches in the machinery, spills the
beans, steps on the pie, etc, for the
big money boys that they have come
to the Eyes, we don't like Henry
point. But with more money than
the whole sore bunch put together,
Henry Ford should worry about lit
tie thing like 400 merchant vessels
or about those who were just waiting
and itching to gobble them up for a
mere nothing.

away with roadside bandits they will
cause their highway commissions to
erect signs informing the travelling
public where state roads begin and
where the village highwaymen have
the habitat. If a few automobillsts
would send a few of those roadside

travel would be safe.

Felt Cuts the Cost.

COST cutting in construction of
- dwellings seemed to have reached
its furtheSt extreme when recognized
engineers and authorities on building
practice witnessed a load test applied
to concrete partition wall made of
felt, wire reinforcement and cement
mortar, shot into place instead of laid
up or poured, that was twice as great
as the load the ordinary 2X4 stud
housing partition is required to carry
in modern construction, writes Allen
E. BealS in the Dow Service Daily
Building Reports.
Aside from the fireproofng qualities
of a house built with such simple
methods, the partitions, by reason of
air space provided between the layers
of felt, are sound-proof The walls
require much less space in the struc-
ture, and at the demonstration 1t was
shown that with ease the wall carried
load of more than so pounds to the
square foot.
Estimates as to the savings effected
in small house construction by the
process varied, but in each case they
were considerable. The appearance
of the wall was Identical with that of
the apartment house, which, made Ii
possible to save the cost of one entire
coating of plaster prior to painting or
papering. The hollow character of
the walls insures perfect freedom from
dampness and insulates against cold
and heat alike. Conservative specta-
tors conceded that the test was suf-
ficient to establish the practicability
of a new method of dwelling house
construction that could put homes
built by that process entirely out of
competition with those built in the
late national housing emergency by
Established processes of construction.

rector" of the Marine Band, in 1889 as
conductor" of the band.
When the news was out that
John Philip was to leave the
Marine Band and Washington, The
Evening Star, July 13. 1892, printed
here to take personal charge and lead
ership of a magnificent military band
to have it's headquarters In Chicago.
There has probably never been mill
tary organization in the country which
has given more pleasure than the Ma
rine Band. Speaking of the big band
which he will lead, Professor Sousa
said: The new band is not being
planned with any special reference to
the Worlds Fair. as many people i'm
agine, and as yet no engagement has
been made with the fair people. The
stock of the organization is held very
largely in New York and the company
holds New York charter. Chicago
as a central point was chosen as head
quarters on account of the facilities
afforded, and, as matter of fact, the
will make tours from He end of the
country to the other, and I thoroughly
believe will prove a big success ""
Four years ago, when the Rambler
was writing of the Sousa family, he
told you that John Philip married
Miss Jane Bells of Philadelphia, and
when the couple lived in Washington
there were three children-John
Philip, jr.; Helen and Jane Priscilla.
The family worshiped at Christ
Church, Navy Yard, in which John
was christened in 1854. Johns brother
George was playing the triangle and
cymbals in the Marine Band when
John became leader, and soon after
that he was made librarian. He mar
ried a Virginia girl, and after leaving
the band went to live at Phoebus, Va,
near Old Point, and died there. Johns
brother Antonio married Miss Can
dace Cohill, daughter of Henry Coflill
of Southeast Washington. Tony" was

was interested in music and sports.
and wrote a good deal in newspapers
about sports. He died in Colorado in
May, 1918, and his widow and four
children-Allen, Lael, Marian and
Parker-were living in Washington
when the Rambler wrote of the
Sousas in 1921.

house, and. in order to prevent her
from coming back, followed her to the
street door across the courtyard.
BY one of those inexplicable
thoughts that suddenly arise in drunk
ards. the master of the house put on
his wife the responsibility of the Incl

him before his guests and tried to
play his usual trick, standing before
the entrance and beating her. But
this time, excited by her previous
struggle, she flung at him and tore

putian battlefield when she received

retired, saying that he would insist on

We decided TO leave LhaSa for a
week, going to the great monastery
of Galden. where are the massive gold
and silver jeweled tomb of Tsong
Kappa, the founder of the yellow-hats
sect, and many other interesting
sights. That journey was far from
being unevenful.
Yongden. when wandering alone
through the monastic city, met a man
who had known us well for a long
time. He, of courses, inquired about
me. and the lama told him that 1 was
still in China and that, his pilgrim
age ended, he would go back to me.
Our old acquaintance then invited him
to drink tea, but Yongden declined,
saying that he did not feel well and
would call on another occasion. He
quickly rejoined me, and as, happily
we had finished visiting the various
shrines and the country around the
monastery, we made haste to leave
the place.

One of the first directors Of the
Nays Washington bureau was
Lieut.. Charles Wilkes, who later
gained distinction as an explorer. In
1888 Lieut.. Wilkes constructed. at
his own expense. 1S-foot square
observatory on Capitol Hill, in which
he used 5-foot transit that had
been borrowed from the Coast Sur
vey. 1t was from such humble be-
ginnings that the present well equip
ped and excellently manned observa-
tory evolved
The work OF the observatory is not
confined to maintaining time service
by any means. but il is one of the dis
tinctive features of the local institu-
ton that practically all of its several
other functions are equally useful in
everyday life. Very little research
work is done there. In this it is
unique among esta blishments of its
kind. Astronomers at the Mount
Wilson. Harvard and similar observa.
tories may delve ino the fascinating
field of scientific research to their
hearts content. confident that their
efforts will eventually. say in half a
century or so, prove of practical
value. But the Naval Observatory
must and does give direct results.
In view of such facts it is not sur
prising to learn that the present
superintendent, Capt. Edwin T. Pol
lock, T. S. N. is not a professional
astronomer. Rather he is a man of
executive ability, who knows the
needs of the Navy. He has seen prac-
tical results of the observatory work.
During the war Capt. Pollock carried
over 140, 900 men across the ocean in
convoy ships under his command.
Recalling that experience, Capt. Pol
