We have heardsand read of the hor-
rors of war in terms of mass butchery,
but here we-having portrayed, in vivid
fashion, Metaphysical and psychic reac.
tions of the individual under the ter
rife strain of fire. Ii is distinct
triumph for the social psychologists,
this re-creatihg of the individual by
the memorable force of circumstance.

Louis Wolheim is superb. His por-
trayal of the hard boiled, courageous
drunken captain, with an acute sense
of fair play, is masterpiece. vividly

William Boyd, as the equally hard

supports Wolheim ably.

Alow hundreds of young Turkftan-
RS, learning in the technical SCHOOLS
Of Moscow, and also of their oNh re-
publics, and rs have been sent abroad
to Berlin,-to learn how bettf to
organize the industry of their country.
Already these young folks say tlht in
five or ten years you will not fcog-
nize the land any more.
Step by step all these measured will
take effect in our production of Cbtton
goods. Already change has bgun.
In 1924 we had to buy 3 million FOODS
Of raw cotton in America. In 1875 this
was already reduced to 100000 FOODS.
And already in 1925 we expect a
surplus 100000 pools Of raw cotton
and in 1927 of 100000 poodsl For
our factories cannot expand as fast
as our cotton growing. Unless we
should get money from concessio-
naires for textile factories, we shall
begin to export some raw cotton and
buy back cotton goods from Europe.
HOWEVER, even our factories have
II their program for expansion. By
1927 they will double the production
OF, 1924. Then we may expect con-
ditions to be nearer prewar condi-.
tions, in the cost of cotton goods as
compared to wheat.
But now some peasant asks: why
have we learned all this? Does it
make our taxes less? Or our life
easier? Or are we to wait till 1923
for shirt?" But it is very useful
for the peasant to know the facts, and
not to be turned this way and that
by the words of the kulaksl They
must know the life ofthese Turkestan
cotton-growers, who live much worse
than our Russian peasants. They must
know that the city workers, however
they may wish, cannot at once
change entirely the price of cotton
goods.
And they must know, above all,
their oneness with the millions of
Turkestan and Caucasian peasants,
the cotton growers who give them
clothes and to whom they give bread.
They must understand the mutual in
terests of the whole great army of
workers, and the role and problems of
each separate group in. the building
of our common socialist society.

Mortgage money is reported plentt-I

tion and over report a plentiful sup-l
ply OF money on first mortgages: tho
greatest shortage is found in cities
under 25.0eO where only 65 per cent
report a plentiful supply. A large
percentage of the cities of over l00,-
600 population report a plentiful sup
ply OF money even on second mort
cages The association points out
that there Is evidently great need Of
developing mortgage facilities for the
small communities that viii compar O
favorably with the facilities offered
in the larger cities. There IS doubt
less a connection between the short
age of housing facilities and the
shortage of money in these smaller
places.
Rapid development of the suburban
and subdivision markets has been re
peatedly pointed out in the associa-
tfon's surveys The present report
shows that this development is stin
rapid in districts contiguous to large
cities. The subdivision movement in
small places is reported slight, IN
many places negligible.
The largest percentage of the cities
reporting a greater subdivision &C
tivity than last year are between
100, 900 and 250,000 in population. IN
the smaller cities under $4,000 popu-

A ATwo-Story House
OF Convenient Plan
A Design That Can Be Built
Easily and Economically.

War has proven beyond question
that homes are tremendous factors in
national preservation. The measure
or nations prosperity and strength
lies in its individual homes, not in
the size of its factories. in the ele-
gance of its public buildings, and the
luxuriance of its hotels" somebody
has said.
During the war people felt it to be
patriotic duty not to build. but now
the Government is begging people to
build homes, while city dwellers are
looking to the suburbs for relief from
apartment house difficulties. IT has
been estimated that we are ] 100000
homes short of actual need, so that
in addition to giving people better
living conditions building now re-
leases all sorts OF industries that are
still tied up, or at least not back TO
the running basis of pre-war times.
The house shown this week is one
that could be built economically, and
there is no material in it's construc-
tion that is difficult to obtain at pres
ent. 1t Is of stucco on wire meta
lath construction. The roof may be
shingles or asbestos, preferred. 1t
is two stories in height, so that peo-
pie who prefer bedrooms on the sec
ond floor would take kindly to this
house. Because the house has two
stories the construction is cheaper
than If 1t had had one story.
The exterior of this house could be
OF soft creamy tone, with brown or
green woodwork and roof Itswould

gray. The modern tendency to use
pure color In a house could find ex-
preston here, for strong colors
could be shown in the window blinds,
doors, trellis and roof. In fact the
possibilities are endless, either along
the line of modest tone or of the most
extreme modern coloring
The house Is entered through a

Material Prices Rise.
With regard to the building ma
terial situation, the Straus Co. says:
The new year started with upward
tendencies in the general material sit
uation. Material prices in December
showed a trend toward higher levels
except on Portland cement. q. Several
grades of lumber were quoted 10 per
cent above November prices. Steel, at
the mill, was a bit firmer In December
but warehouse prices remained prac-
tically unchanged. In New York City
prices of starting materials were
somewhat higher. In other cities most
starting materials remained at No

MARKED VTCOR FORESEEN
IN 1925 REALTY MARKET
Surrey of Fifty-Nine Cities Reveals Cen
eral Actiuity-Building Shortage Noted.
Residential Property Tends Up,oard.

After passing through season
which, compared with the phenomenal
activity of 1923 has been somewhat
dull, the real estate market Is enter
Ing with renewed vigor into the sea-
son of 1925, according to the reports
received from 259 cities by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards in It's fifth semi-annual sur
vey of the real estate market
The survey gives an account of the
real estate market situation, the
amount of building shortage and of
possible overbuilding of the rent sit
uation, the condition of money supply
for financing real estate transactions
and the present activity of city ex-
pansion into suburban territory. 1t
is based on reports prepared by spe-
cial committees of the associations
constituent real estate boards in the
various cities.
That the present general real estate
| movement is again upward is shown
most clearly through comparison of
the reports with those of the similar
| survey made by the association in
June of the past year. The market
| for residential property Is reported
more active than In June by A. per
| cent of the cities. Thirty-three per
cent report 1t as continuing the June
ering of activity since June. For
business property the market i'm
provement is more pronounced. AL
most half the cities, IS per cent, re-
| port more active demand than was
| shown six months ago. 33 per cent
report a continuing of the June level
and only II per cent report a lower
] ing of activity.
Comparison Held Interesting.
The survey findings are also par
tlcularly interesting as compared with
those of the similar survey made in
the Fall Of 1923, which year witnessed
| the greatest activity in real estate in
| the history of the country. While 80
| per cent of the cities report a mark ct
/ less active than that of a year ago for
| residential property, 3S per cent re-
| port more active market and %
| per cent state that real estate activ-
| ity has held the 1929 level. For busi-
ness property the comparison shows
present conditions more favorable
| than that OF the peak year. Fifty
| two per cent of the cities report a
| more active demand for business
properties than in the corresponding
! period of 1929, 80 per cent report the
| market the same. and only IS per
cent report lowered market activity.
! / he survey MAKES II Clear that
/ there has been no drastic break fol-
! lowing the recent period of astonish-
| ing activity.
| In referring to the outlook for 1925
| the report says that factors found by
! the survey contributing to con-
tinued activity of the market are
! stated as follows:
| l. A tendency on the part of both
| residential and business rents to in
| crease.
| 2. A continued building shortage,
particularly shortage of single-fam-
