CONSTRUCTION COSTS
HIGHER IN FEBRUARY
Building Material and Wage
Boosts Send Prices to
Higher Plane.

Construction costs increased during
February, reaching a point slightly
above the level which they held one
year before, according to statistics
compiled by the Associated General
Contractors of America.
The increase in total costs was the
result Of wage increases and of higher
prices commanded in several localities
by certain building materials, notably
crushed stone and gravel.
The average of wages paid in the
construction industry rose during Feb
ruary to the highest point reached
since 1920, with the exception of the
level occupied in May, 1926.
1t is noted that the fiuctuation of
construction costs during the past IS
months has been within a compare
lively narrow range. A scale which
has the 1913 average as it's base shows
the highest level reached during that
period to be 1873, the February mark.
The lowest point since Midsummer of
1925 was 1875, reached in October of
last year.
The average Of wages rose two
points during February to reach the
mark of 227. The lowest position held
by the average of wages during the
past three years was 219, the mark
being registered in January. 1924.

To-day, in the period of postwar
recovery, when our National produc-
tivity is increasing, we have the op-
portunity to make definite progress
in the right direction. Moreover,
the development of the automobile
has given a great impulse to subur-
ban life. and an increasing possibility
of home ownership. Happily, a large
section of the people Is awake to the
problem, and an increasing number
of business groups have publicly
acknowledged their responsibility
and interest in 1t. They realize that
unnecessary barriers that may en-
compass man determined to own
his own home are hindrances to good
community spirit and to good busi-
ness. They see that taking neigh
borly interest in developing sound
financing and other machinery for
the use of home seekers, and insist
ing on the observance of honest,
straightforward methods by those
who deal with home seekers is not
paternalism but good business and
good citizenship.
1T is the square deaf-~and 1t is
not only right but essential that the
cards should not be stacked against

Residence of Mr.. and Mrs. C..
J. Van EppS Is Notable
in Design.
HONORABLE MENTION
AWARDED BY EXPERTS
House Is Located at 2615 Thirty
first Street-Trees Fea-
ture Landscaping.

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. c. j
Van Epps, at 2615 Thirty-first street, is
notable among the newer homes
erected in Washington for the distlnc'
tiveness of it's arrangement and archi-
tectural lines.
This home was awarded honorable
mention for meritorious construction
last week by the Washington Board
of Trade. In announcing their de-
cision, architects who judged the con-
test declared 1.-The home has great
charm and individuality and is most
pleasing composition from all angles.
The house was planned especially
for it's location and the trees on the
site were preserved in the building and
now feature the landscaping of the
place. The rear view of the house is
as attractive as the front elevation.
While of no particular architectural
design, the home is of Norman-French
influence.
The outstanding feature of the front
of the house is the entrance, which has
a high pitched roof that juts out from
the main portion of the building. The
deep-set doorway gives on inviting
aspect to the place. The roof is high
pitched and set low over the second
story, so that the windows are set out
partially in the roof, adding to the
of design. The house is
brick of varied colors, dark red and
black predominating and with por-
ton of cream stucco finish, paneled
with oak.stained timbers. Wooden
lintels over the windows also are of
stained oak.
Throughout the first and second
floors, the walls are finished in buff
plastic paint.
Unlike many homes, the stairway
from the first to the second floor is not
in plain view from the vestibule, the
emphasis being placed on the rooms
Of the main floor
From the entrance hail. four steps
lead down into the living room, which
occupies the entire south wing of the
L-shaped house. A wrought iron rail
ing in the hallway forms a sort of
inside balcony overlooking the living
room. A heavy fireplace is at the OPP
posite side of the living room.
The dining room is at the rear end
Of the hallway, in the east wing. Both
the living room and the dining room
have spacious windows looking out on
! paved brick court which is sur
by terraced lawns. Both
rooms also have heavy hand-hewed
beams supporting their ceilings. which
produce a marked medieval effect.
The kitchen is at the left front,
shielded from the entrance hall by
stairs to the second floor and to the
easement.
On the second floor are master
chamber. one guest room, q nursery
nd two baths.
The architect is Horace Peaslee.

In order to bring the real estate ad-
vertising of Washington to it's high
est plane Of efficiency and reliability,
the sales managers division of the
Washington Real Estate Board. under
the craftsmanship of c. II. Hillegeist.
is devoting itself to n thorough study
of advertising. At its semi-monthly
luncheon the division is inviting ad-
vertising experts to discuss the va
rious phases of this important fea-
ture of the real estate business in or
der to CLEAN every angle of advertis-
ing as 1t applies both to the realtor
and the general public.
The division has in mind, according
to Mr.. Hillegeist, not only the ques-
ton of advertising to bring about i'm
mediate sales, but also that kind of
advertising which will build in the
general public a thorough confidence
in the firms and their personnel and
the products being brought to their
attention.
The division feels that the general
real estate advertising in Washington
is on high plane and that very little
is needed to make it the most exem-
plary in the country, particularly from
the point of view of effectiveness and
art.
Address by Lewis.
At the meeting Tuesday at the
Hamilton Hotel. George A. Lewis, To-
cal advertising expert addressed the
division. Mr.. Lewis analyzed advertis-
ing from its various points of interest
and particularly stressed the need of
intelligent advertising with the de-
scription and information given in
such manner as to arouse the imagi-
nation and curiosity of the public,
thereby letting them seek further in
formation. He stressed the necessity

Keeping Up High Percentage of Home
Owners Under Test Now, Hoover Claims

The maintenance of a high per-
centage of individual home owners
IS one of the searching tests that
now challenge the people of the
United States, Herbert Hoover,
Secretary of Commerce. declares in
the foreword to booklet on How
TO Own Your Home" which has been

Homes in America.
"A family that owns its home
takes pride in 1t, maintains 1t better,
gets more pleasure out of it and has
a more wholesome, healthful and
happy atmosphere in which to bring
up children" the Secretary says.
THE home-owner has a construc-
tive aim in life. He works harder
outside his home; he spends his leis-
ure more profitably; and he and his
family live a finer life and enjoy
more of the comforts and cultivating
influences of our modern civilization.
A husband and wife who own their
home are more apt to save. They
have an interest in the advancement
of social system that permits the
individual TO store the fruits of his
labor. AS direct taxpayers they take
a. more active part in local govern
ment. Above all, the love of home
is one Of the finest instincts and the

DIVIDENDS
rom State Dept. Of Health.

From State Dept. or Health.
Preliminary reports from the
Bureau of Communicable Diseases of
the State Department of Health.
show marked decrease in typhoid
fever and in diphtheria in 1925 in
comparison with 1925. Here are the
figures for sickness from these
diseases, in the counties, for the last
five years:
Typhoid 1926, S54; 1925, 1858;
1924, S2S; 1928, $50; 1922, 972.
Diphtheria--1926, ell; 1925, ga;
1924, 1856; 1928, 1887; 1922, ITO.
Commenting on the decline in
these diseases, DR.. John s. Fulton,
Director of the State Department of
Health said: 1T is only when we
compare the outbreaks in recent
years with sickness and deaths from
the same diseases some years ago,
that we are able to realize what
dividens are being paid to the people
of the State in the way of health and
the freedom from disease, as a
result of the steady, persistent fight
against the communicable diseases
by the State Department OF Health
and the medical profession, backed
by the intelligent cooperation of
the people of Maryland.
ITO large extent, this improve
ment has been brought about
through the cooperation of the
party of the third part'-the wide
awake Individual. In the case of
typhoid, 1t has been shown in the
public spirited interest in community
measures for protecting water and
food supplies from sources OF in
lection, and in the steady progress
year after year of individual pro-
lection through vaccination against
the disease.
''The decline in diphtheria has
been brought about in much the
same way. Parents are realizing
that it is possible ito prevent that
dread disease by having their chill
dren protected against it by the use
of toxin-anti-toxin, and are availing
themselves of the opportunities
offered. Not only life. but health. is
being saved, because the damaging
after effects are often more dis
astrOus than the disease ITSELF
