The latest innovation in the realty
field in the National Capital il, the
establishment of a school for prospec.
tive home owners, in which will be
taught all that is needed by those who
are contemplating investing their
money in real estate.
According to DR.. James A Bell,
director of the local Young Mems
Christian Association College. the Y.
NJ. c. A. will begin a special lecture
course dealing with home owning and
home purchasing as soon as the col
lege opens this Fall. The course will
be under the direction of John A.
Petty. executive secretary of the
Washington Real Estate Board. and
many prominent local business men
will lecture.
This course for prospective home
owners will not interfere with the
real estate course that the Y. NJ. c. A.
is planning as usual this year for real
estate statesmen. Courses in real es-
tate are also being given at the Uni
versity of Maryland, and in more than
score of the outstanding educational
institutions throughout the country.
Other Courses Planned.
Educational features in regard to
real estate and real estate practices
are also being planned by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards. which represents about $40
cities throughout the country Edu-
cation IS one of the major undertak-
ings of the association.
Officials of the Y. NJ. c. A. have
had under consideration for some
time developing a series of lectures
that would have for its purpose the
encouragement of home ownership
and the supplying of authentic in
formation to the public in connection
with the purchase or construction OF
a home. The course about TO be Of
fered is the result of much study
and 1t is expected to fill a need that
has existed for some time.
In making it's facilities available to
the public by including in its educa-
tional program for the year this
course on home ownership, Y. NJ.
c. A. officials point out the orSani-
zation is endeavorinS to render
constructive service to those owning
homes or contemplating purchasing
or building homes.
Washington, like a great majority
of cities throughout the country, has
since the World War eXperiePced an
intense development of home build
ing. and the home-owning class has
shown tremendous increase. The
phenomenal growth of population
and the extension of building opera
tions in all sections of the District
of Columbia and adjoining counties of
Maryland and Virginia caused the
trend toward home buying to show
such remarkable increase and.
therefore. such a course will he of
great value educators and business
men feel.
See Course Benefits.
Realizing that the purchase of a
home is for many the most important
undertaking and perhaps the only
real estate transaction in a lifetime,
the y. NJ. &. A. believes this course
will be of much benefit to the public.
1t is designed TO give a concise and
practical outline of real estate prac
tiCes involved in the purchase of
home and to illustrate the advantages
of home ownership as well as the re-
sponsibilities and obligations assumed.

Use the fourth bedroom for storage
space. If you don't need so many
sleeping rooms. But the space will be
there for use when the need arises.
If there is no garage needed, this
wing of the house could be cut off en-.
entirely--this would leave off the maids

stairs. An entrance porch quite large
enough would yet be left and you
would also have a house of splendid
proportions with living room, dining
room, kitchen and pantry downstairs
and three large bedrooms on the sec
ond floor.
There is a delightful sense of real
home comfort in a design of this kind
No one appreciates the house with a
garage attached more than those who
have lived in a city apartment and
had a 15-minute walk to their garage
whenever they wished to use the car.

ing construction during July of this
year.

year with S6,545,410 as the total The
high mark this year is over $4,000, =

record as compared with 1924 is far
ahead, and If the present boom
keeps up prospects are that last

Here 1 go rambling on when really
I intended to write you very short
letter merely explaining to you that
Mr.. Prescott is drinking altogether
too much. I do not believe that
there has been one night since Leslie
left for Atlantic City that he has
gone to bed sober. This, of course,
leaves him the next day very
grouchy and unfit for work.
This frightens me, for all the great
trouble of my life has been caused
by drink.
The only person that can
straighten him out now is Leslie, for
whatever she may think, she is the
only woman that John Alden Pres
colt really loves. Whether that love
will ever make her happy 1 don't
presume to predict, but 1 do predict
with what 1 feel is a great certainty
that unless she undertakes this re-
sponsibility the Hamilton Steel Cor
poration will go on che rocks.
Do you think she will accept It?
IL she will not she must definitely
have it out with her husband and
take steps with her mother to have
some one else put in charge Of the
business.
hope, my dear Mrs. Burke, that
you will not think 1 am impertinent
but my training has made 1t impos-
sible. to see a great industry jeopar-
died without at least trying in my
weak way to warn those who own it
Of the danger. Sincerely,
