 Wants Business Stimulated
 Returning to the fiscal affairs of the government, the president c&- pressed hope that further reduction in taxes now proposed would serve as a fresh stimulant to general busi- ness. He believed il would produce fresh tax sources and increase or at least maintain the governments rev. enue requirements without the higher tax evies of the present day
 The outlook for the coming ifs cal year, 1927, is most favorable v MT. Coolidge continued, "For that year 1t is estimated that the ordln- ary receipts will be $3.S24,5@o, ,""o and expenditures S3,494,222.ooo' This indicates q surplus of $530,- SO7,0O0.
 Results Of Economy
 1.-The outlook for 1926 and 1927 shows clearly that the united effort Of the executive and legislative branches of the government for economy in federal expenditures Is bearing further fruit. In the first four fiscal years there have been two substantial reductions in taxes We have restored to the people a part of the moneys which We re ouired of them to finance the World war. We are now in that favorable position of making further rcstora' ton.

NEW YORK REALTORS
TO ERECT OWN HOME
Will Build 16-Story Structure to
Be Used as Center for All Real
Estate Activities in City.

Construction of a 16-story building
in the Grand Central terminal section
of New York Cfty-to be used as a
home for the Real Estate Board Of
New York and as a center for real
estate activities for the city as a
whole-is provided for by the action
just taken by the New York board.
An option has already been secured
on the property, sketch plans pre-
pared and second mortgage bonds
subscribed by board members in
amount to insure the financing of the
project.
The cost is expected to total ap-
proximately 81, ,275. 900, Of which s4s4,-
500 is estimated for land and $3.50. 500
for building and other costs. The
board expects to utilize two or more
floors for its own activities and to
rent the remaining floors.

One Floor or Two
AS Your Needs Are
This Artistic Design May Be
Changed i'll Several Ways
To Suit Yourself.

1t is seldom that We find a house
with such an extremely artistic eN-
terror with an interior of such Won
derfully practical convenience. SO
often the interior is sacrificed to per-
feet the exterior. a design is in
deed a success when both of these
two important features have been
combined into one pleasing whole.
II you will use your imagination
for a moment, you will see this de
sign built of stucco or field stone and
not an atom OF the beauty lost by
using either of these building ma
terials. In fact. such a design as
this would be splendid If built of the
dignified brick. However, We have
used just the simplest and cheapest
of materials in presenting this little
home to you, and your taste and
purse will help you TO solve the
problem of just which material to
use in its construction.
You viii note in studying the plan
that the owners room is at one side
of the house and those of the other
members of the family are at the
other side. The large living room
with a good sized fireplace and ample
windows unites the two groups, while
the maids room, pantry and kitchen
and the baths occupyshe rear portion.
rooms.
Entering from the porch, one finds
a room of generous proportions and
homelike aspect. This room is draw
ing room and dining room in one.
There is group of windows opposite
the fireplace with a window seat,
while others on the same side are
placed high TO make space for a
grand piano and bookcase.
One who plans this use of the living
room for dining room as well mas an
interesting problem in the choice of
table. The owners of this cottage
might like a refectory table. which
would serve as a library table be-
tween meals; or they might choose
gate-legged table, which, with leaves
dropped, can be rolled back, between
meals, against the wall at the left
of the door as one enters-where,
with a pair of shining copper candle
sticks and a low bowl of flowers. it
will have no suggestion of that
futile place the dining room usually
becomes between meals. How fool

TREND TO APARTMENTS
MAY NOW BE CHECKED
But Increment of Population Into Mul-
tiple Dwellings, Structures Is Still
on Tremendous Scale.

The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico
have often been pointed out as the
original apartment dweIleTs Of Amer
lea. Their famous "pueblos" or com
munal buildings of several stories in
height. still stand as an evidence of
their originality in construction.
The latest available figures raise
the question as to whether the people
OF the United States will gradually
become pueblo" dweilers on a more
modern scale and follow the ideas set
forth by the original masters Of the
continent.
In an effort to solve the much
mooted question as to whether the
people of the United States are be-
coming a nation of apartment dwell
ers the National Association of Real
Estate Boards has made a survey
which shows that only 40 per cent of
the annual increase in the urban
populations is housed in single-fam-
lily dwellings. The other 81 per cent
is housed in apartments, two-family
fats and other buildings erected for
more than one family
What Survey DIscIoses.
In cities over 25.O0O in population
"a per cent of all new residential
construction is Of dwellings housing
more than one family. Figures for
the United States as a whole show
that nearly SO per cent. or over one
third of the annual increase in the
population, finds living quarters in
other than single e-family residences.
The survey further states that an
additional study, going into the first
half of 1924, ra ises the question as to
whether the apparent heavy listing
of the urban population of the coUu-
try toward apartment dwelling has
not however. reached its climax and
been checked. Here for the first time
construction records show more de-
tached dwellings than apartments.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
CUT LUMBER DEMAND
Dealers Show Tendency to Buy
From Mills Only Such Footage
as Actually Needed.

Current reports characterize the de-
mand for lumber as only fair, in
large part due to the restrictions
which weather conditions impose
upon building operations, says the
American Lumberman, Chicago 9th
er factors are the policy of retail
lumber dealers. who will not stock
up, but buy only as lumber is actu-
ally needed, and the growing con-
seryatism which is beginning to be
observed in other lines of trade.
Southern pine is still the most
active wood, as well as that in strong
est position. While business with the
East. North and Middle West is ham
pered by seasonal conditions, that
originating in the South and foreign
markets, and with the railroads and
oil fields remains voluminous and
makes it possible for the manufac-
turers to maintain their operations
on a good scale and to hold prices
firm.
The Douglas fir market has shown
no consequential change. The cur
tailnent of production has firmed up
the market somewhat, but orders are
not freely offered, and probably will
not be until Spring is a good deal
nearer. Both the rail and domestic
cargo markets are slow, but export
trade is very good in comparison.
Demand for hardwoods has
slumped off a good deal this month
and the market for both northern
and southern species appears weaker.
1t is stated that furniture and refrig-
orator interests have in many cases
shut off buying, saying that, while
they have good order files, they are
receiving many requests to hold up
shipments Of their products. The
mills meanwhile are operating stead
lily and are piling up some stock.
Prices, however, are being quite well
held, especially on northern woods
and the scarce items of the southern
list, and the manufacturers expect
that an improvement as Spring ap-
proaches will quickly eradicate any
weakness that may exist.

This house, as may be noticed, is
planned for rather more than ordinary
plumbing facilities, but as it is all
compactly arranged on one side of
the house where it is easily accessible
to drainage, this fact does not over
balance its comfort and convenience.
The kitchen has been studied with
great care. AS direct communication
with house and cellar, easy stairs
have been arranged leading down
from an inclosed porch near the
kitchen door. The furnace may thus
be taken care of by man, without
his having to enter the house. A
small elevator or lift at the side of

convenience in sending up the coal
