is 40 feet wide by AZ feet inches
deep; consequently. unless placed
Iengthwise on the lot or built on
corner a lot of at least 60 feet would
be needed This would be an excel

side of the design is equally lovely.
If this house were to be frame, IL
would be quite charming painted
white with green shutters. with walks
and terrace of red brick, and old

Supply Governs Quality.

The factors of supply and demand
are always active. There is always
demand for better accommodation
when they can be secured at the
same figure as has been paid for
those of inferior quality, and wherev-
er a new building is opened in a
locality it usually results in an
exodus from older buildings.

STOCKS RALLY,
OILS FIRM
international News Service

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-After an
irregular opening, in which the oil
and railroad stocks displayed
firm tone, the market rallied under
the lead of the industrial and
speciality stocks in the early trad
ing today.
A few of the motor stocks also
moved up to higher price levels,
but renewed weakness in Chrysler
Motor and UEjted States Rubber
produced considerable unsettlemeEt
in that section of the market, and
movements in the oils and rails
were by no means uniform.
The 5h per cent call money re-
newal rate was a surSeise, in view
of the favorable bank statement on
Saturday, and reflected the 'prepa-
rations" in the banking institutions
for the year-end settlements. which
will be unusually heavy this year.
Reports from Industrial and mer.
camille centers were generally fa.
vorable.
Heavy selling of Chrysler Motor
resulted in an abrupt decline of
about points in that stock. Hud-
son moved forward sharply t.
1041k, up 3, on reports that Hudson
and Ford were pooling their buying
operations for next year, which
would result in considerable saving
for the former. If not eventually
lead to the taking over of the
company by Ford
General Motors and White Motors
moved up about point each in
active trading. United States Rub
Der decliped to 70 for a new loss
Of 3 points and a decline of 1S
points from its recent high.
The bulk of industrial, oil and
railroad stocks were slightly re-
dictionary in the second hour.
though American Can gained q few
points in fairly active trading.
United States Steel rose fractionalIy
and a small number of independent
oil stocks attempted isolated rallies
which brought them forward frac-
tionally above Saturdays closing
levels. Murray Body continued to
forge ahead and reached IL against
its recent low of 81. Mercantile
stocks were strong, under the lead
of Woolworth, which sold up 4
points at 1105z. The utility stocks
were firm.

By RICHARD HATTON

An event OF particular significance
60 the American banking world is
taking place in Baltimore this
afternoon where the banking house
OF Alexander Brown and Sons is
celebrating its 125tif anniversary.
1t may, almost, be said that the
event is of worldwide significance,
FOR wherever the white man travels
today some connection OF this Oldest
American banking house is recalling
the fact that the institution has
been in existence for q century and
q quarter.
Paraphrasing Kipling, it may be
said: Take hold of the wings OF
the morning and flap round the
world as you may, there's an
Alexander Brown correspondent to
help you along the way.
This is literally true for, with
over 1000 correspondents at
strategic points in practically every
country on the globe, Alexander
Blown and Sons are able to render
q service to business and to travellers
IN busy commercial centers and in
far-flung outland places quite as
important as that provided by of.
fetal representatives OF powerful
governments.
The changing map o; the world
counts little with this old institu-
ton, for its organization functions
i'm network OF strong financial
houses regardless OF shifting flags
or ;crumbling governments.
Manager A. r.. Stewart, of The
local office Of Alexander Brown and
Sons at 1924 II st. n. W., with his
staff are being congratulated to-
day upon the completion of the
1z5th successful year by the house
which they represent in wash

HON. T. E. PLOWDEN VICTIM

The death of Hon. T. E. Plowden
prominent citizen OF Dickey and Cal

regret Mr.. Plowden was visiting his
son, Andrew Plowden. in Valdosta
when the end came. He had been in
declining health for several months
due to a stroke of paralysis, but had
sufficiently recuperated to visit his son
in Valdosta. He had been there only
a short time before he was stricken
by a severe attack of pneumonia and
the end came peacefully Sunday at
ternoon at 4 o'clock.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Dickey Presbyterian church, in
which the deceased was a ruling elder
for nearly 90 years, by his pastor, DR..
J. w. Chapman, and interment was
made in the cemetery at that place.
Mr. Plowden was not only promi-
nent in his home community, but was
well known throughout the state. He
fought through the civil war with Lee
and Jackson and attended all of the
Confederate reunions up to the one
held in Texas this year.
He was a devoted member OF the
Presbyterian church and was loved by
men from all walks of life, and will
be greatly missed by his host Of
friends and loved ones. He is survived
by 5 sons-Sheriff T. H. Plowden and
Luther Plowden, OF Dickey; Andrew
Plowden, OF Valdosta; David Plow-
den, OF Orlando, Fla, and another
son in Texas, and three daughters,
Mrs. Z. T. Rabun, OF Albany; Mrs.
Rodney Taylor, of Valdosta, and Mrs
J. E. Plowden, OF Montreal, n c.
