Address your letters for this

f1dence is respected and only
your initials will be used, I'M
less otherwise requested.

but you are not wise If you simply
accept the untidiness and disorder.
Perhaps, owing to earlier lack of
training, your wife does not know
how to do, how to begin on the bust
ness of housekeeping.
Have a serious talk with her. Tell
her that there must be a change,
and if she values your love and her
home, she will be willing to either
take some kind of domestic course,
or seek advice from an efficient and
older friend or relative. If you are
firm and talk with sufficient earnest
ness, I believe you'll awaken her.
Certainly 1T would be shame to let
your married life be wrecked.

Do related things like thrift, order,
cleanliness, intelligence, travel to-
gether and make for harmony in the
home? And do thrift, limited finances,
narrowed, pinched outlook, discon-
tent, go hand in hand into this
daily experience we call living?
The disciplined mind and heart
do indeed appear to draw toward
them the ordered an prosperous life.

that the destinies Of thousands of

BUILDING YEAR

Gen. r.. C. Marshall, jr., general
manager of the Associated General
Contractors of. America, vice presi-
dent OF Maddux, Marshall, Moss
ind Mallory. and chief Of construction
during the war, today predicted an
other five-biIlion-dollar building
program for the United States dur
ing 1925, duplicating. II not exceed
ing, the record building program of
the year just past.
General Marshall bases his pre-
diction on the prosperity of the
United States which finds natural
outlet in the requirement of homes
and on the demand for better build
ings which has become universal in
America. His association builds
about one-tI1ird OF the buildings
erected in the United States.
"The quality of buildings being
erected today Is moving steadily
upward, the general explained.
This is brought about by two
causes First the public insists that
the best of materials be used. The
man who builds a home realizes
that it Is lifetime investment and
plans accordingly. Secondly, the
mortgage companies, which finance
most of the buildings in the United
States, insist that the buildings
financed be constructed for perma-
hence. in order that their stock
holders be protected.
THE National Capital Mortgage
Company with which my firm hap
pens to be associated, for instance.
inspects every building on which a
loan is placed and 1t must be con-
structed of the best of materials ii
this company finances 1t.
THE American public has learned
the folly of cheap construction and
poor planning and this factor will
have its weight in influencing the
building program of 1925.
Real estate values are increas-
ing in all parts OF the country and
especially in Washington. 1t Is
folly to place a poorly constructed
building on valuable piece of land

ments up to a. point where they
Will moot the heavy demands.
While the needs Of apartment
seekers during the past few months
have been so great that 1T has been
impossible to build fast enough to
fill them, the situation now shows
signs OF Frightening.
Recent consignments Of building
materials brought into Hollywood by
special ships operated by the Holly
wood Land and Water Company,
and by other means of transporta-
tion, did much to stimulate buiid-
ing. and many projects which had
been delayed during construction by
the lack of materials, have been
pushed to completion, or are now
being completed.
The arrival of these shipments
has also given impetus to the plans
of others who contemplate building,
but had hesltated in starting con-
struction until they were sure ma

plete their jobs.
There are at present under con-
struction, or just completed, more
than twenty modern average.sized
apartment houses In Hollywood.
Those will help greatly to relieve
the shortage of dwellings, though
many more can be used, and arc
being planned, to accommodate the
great rush OF winter visitors and
residents. Building activity IL IN
evidence on every hand in Holly
wood.
The score Of apartment buildings
at present being built, or just COM
pleted, are practically all OF Span
fish architecture. Some are OF frame
construction with stucco finish;
others are of concrete block struc'
ture.
The majority are divided into
apartments of three rooms, kitchen
cite and bath. One or two average
four rooms to the apartment, and
few run to larger sizes. With few
exceptions the apartments are com
pletely furnished, and many nave
the solar system for hot water.
Most of the apartments now near
compilation are already leased for
the remainder of the winter season.

has been taken by the executive
committee or the division as the
central subject for the National
round table on home building and
nubdividing to be held in New Or
leans in connection with the forth
coming meeting there of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards.

The committee met this week at

Of the investing public. It is
estimated that new realty issues
during the past year will total more
than 1915, 000, 900, which represents
gain Of more than 1000 per cent
in the last five years in this type
OF notation.
The esteem in which the real
estate bond Is held of course is
based on the exceptional combina-
ton of those elements of an ideal
investment which 1t offers. namely:
Maximum safety when issued by
strong, experienced houses and
properly safeguarded and guaran-
teed; an attractive income, as com
pared with other investments of
comparable security. Another i'm.
portant element has been the plac-
ing upon the market of bonds that
are Internationally guaranteed as
to payment Of principal and inter.
est, whereby the investor is doubly
assured of the safety OF his invest
ment.
1t is gratifying to note that the
importance Of real estate mortgage
bonds in the upbuilding of our great
cities Is becoming more and more
generally recognized. Every In
weston who purchases these securi-
ties. Is adding his share to the
growth and prosperity OF the ma
ton. When we consider the great
progress which has been made
within the past twenty-five years,
in perfecting real estate mortgage
bonds as an investment and in es-
tablishing the methods of distribu-
ton, 1t would be hard to predict the
extent to which this business may
grow within the next quarter of a
century. The real estate mortgage

BURNING FLAME AND CANDLE LIGHT

Brave days there were when vaulting love
Could knew no shadow of defeat;
"Brave days" l say, because high hope
Kept bright the flame of ardent heat.
But tho the flame has steady burned,
The candle on the shelf is pale;
Its shadow the silent wall
Is mute recounta of the tale.
Brave days there were-oh, heart of mine!
Such courage merits sweeter fate
Is there no golden mean whereby
The flame and candle light can mate?

PROHIBITION AND THE YOUNG

At recent luncheon of the National Republican
Club in New York the Rev. Edmund A.. Walsh, dea,
of the School for Foreign Service, Georgetown Uni
versity Washington made some notable statements
incidental to the discussion of the breakhg up of thu
American home" the underlying of crime
conditions in the United States. Father Walsh said:
II know there many, many young
addicted to alcoholic liquor today that there were
years ago, before prohibition. l speak from
knowledge gained by contact with thousands of
young under care l have had them say
to me why, Padre worth nothing with the
girls today unless carry something for them

But my host. after the man had transacted his bus
mess and departed told the fellow had made
many thousands of dollars. There is certainly far
greater tendency among young to dsobey the
prohibition law and drink liquor than I have
before seen in my twenty-five year of contact with
them' The Minute Man
