The new Silver Spring telephone
central office. just recently placed in
service. is housed in a colonial type
of building that looks more like n resi-
dence than a business structure. Yet
in this building are telephone ex-
change equipment and workers now
serving Silver Spring, Takoma Park
Blair, Forest Glen, Linden, North
Woodside. Wynnewood and other
Maryland suburban areas of Washing
ton.
When it became necessary to build
a new central office for the Silver
Spring community, engineers of the
telephone company found that the
wire center of this area to be served
was located in a residential section.
In order to harmonic the exchange
building with the general residential
character of the section. plans were
drawn for a colonial building looking
much like a dignified and high class
residence.
The building, located on Falkland
drive, just off Georgia avenue, is of
brick construction, two stories high,
and all the exterior woodwork. in
Guiding doorway. windows and shut
ters and the railing surmounting the
slate roof, has been painted white.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS
REMAIN UNCHANGED
August Figures Hold Positions
Reached After May and
July Declines.

The cost of construction remained
unchanged during August, holding the
position it reached following declines
in May and July. according to sta
tistics compiled by the Associated
General Contractors of America.
The average OF costs for the first
eight months of this year Is slightly
higher than the 'overage covering the
corresponding period of 1926.
During the last six month the cost
Of construction has been virtually
twice as great as the 1919 average. No
increase has occurred since March
Successive rises We're noted in Janu-
airy, February and March.
August was the seventh successive
month to pass without witnessing
change in the average of wages in the
construction industry. This average
holds virtually the same position 1t oc-
cupied daring the Midsummer months
of 1925 and 1926.
The average Of prices raid by con-
tractors for the basic construction ma

DENIES BUILDING
EXCEEDS DEMANDS
Reports of 0verproduction
Found BaseIess by Head of
Mortgage Company.

'The talk of overbuiding has dis
appeared into thin air, because such
talk was founded on insufficient con
sderation of the situation" in the
opinion of w. j. Moore. president of
American Bond and Mortgage Co.
Continued analysis" says Mr..
Moore, has shown that the volume
OF construction during the past few
years has been in answer to we'll
defined demand rather than the re-
suit of blind speculations founded
on the hope of creating the demand
after the building has been completed.
Most economists and statSticans
hack in 1921 and 1925. and even more
recently. had not gone far enough with
the analysis of building figures to
realize that the huge totals which
they had amassed We're by no means
indicative of the new buildings pro-
duced, but showed rather the amount
of new building plus the rehabilitat.
ing of the old.
Estimates COuntry's Needs.
Later conclusions have shown
clearly that in point of fact the new
building volume which the country
requires for a normal year stands
at about five billion dollars, but that
the figures of eight and a half or nine
billion dollars made availa bic during
the past Il months include buildings
replaced where destruction has
occurred by fire; also repairs and
maintenance on already existing
structures.
Thus for the past seven or eight
years we find that the supplying Of
new housing has gone forward at a
steady rate, gated about as fast as
the demand has shown itself.
There is. of course. a great force
at work today which has gained sur
prising velocity since the war. This
is the force which makes us contin-
ually better our standards of living.
The greatest accelerator of this force
is advertising. Advertising makes us
want better bathrooms, better kitch-
ems, better heating plants. better
furniture, better radios, pianos, foods
and so on through the whole gamut
of the luXurieS and necessities which
made up the framework of modern
living.
Advertising Aid to Business.
advertising in turn keeps business
active. 1t stabiliZes demand and con-
tinually forces the producer of mer-
chandlze to keep alert to maintain |
the standard of his product at the
highest possible point.
THE problems of today in the bust
ness world are not so much the prob !
lens of immensely increased produc. |
ton. but rather those of keeping the /
growth of this production from in
creasing too rapidly.
The situation today calls for more !
careful surveys and more thoughtful I
planning on the part of the builder |
than ever before, and he is recog- |
niZing that the demand must exist I

"Oh. you dear thing" Alice cried

with a conscious flush.
An impulse seized upon Olivia to
run after the woman, find her and
take a peep at the baby. The cutest
little hriSht-eyed baby YOU ever saw.
Alice had said All three of her own
babies had been cute and bright-eyed.
Instead Of going straight home from
Alices Olivia went down Maple street
to the corner. The dark woman was
coming down the steps of the Ohm
stead house; she looked weary and dis
appointed. Olivia walked up to her.
Il hear you've got a baby in that
basket. Let me see it." she said
The dark woman looked at her
earnestly. Then she sat down her
baskets and uncovered one. Olivia
looked in and saw the baby, a tiny
girl. sucking her bit of fist. She looked
up at Olivia and eurgled and grinned.
Look here" Olivia said abruptly,
sit must be very hard for you to sell
baskets and tend a young baby like
this at the same time. Why don't you
let somebody take care of the baby for
you?"
Lady" faltered the dark woman,
spreading helpless palms. Il have no

And then Olivia said something that
surprised even herself. She said: Let
me have the baby. l will take care of

some one knocked at the out

her next.door neighbor. Alice
chandled. she called out cheerful
"Come in" at the same instant stooP-
ing TO take another pan Of cookies
from the oven. When she turned
around she received such shock that
she came near dropping the pan, Tor

ever seen--a woman, wide ana oalk'
dressed in outlandish clothes OF 'aW-

woman.
Olivia bought two baskets and save
her uueer visitor a plate or COOKIES
Al last the woman sald
"You let me tell your fortune, lady:
You give me cake; l give you good
fortune"
Olivia did not believe in such things
There was not trace of superstition
in her honest nature. but with a de
sire to humor the woman she held out
her stout little hand.
INSTANTLY the alert basket seller
changed to the sibyl. In solemn
voice she uttered. You are not SO
happy as you appear. You nave
emptiness in your heart. You have
no child in this house"
After the woman had gone away
with her baskets. Olivia thought visit
fully of what she had just been told her.
No. she was not happy, although eV-
ervbody thought her so. Her heart
was emptv because-thre was no child
in the house. True, there had been
children-three of them. in fact-but
they had grown up and gone away
from the home nest. They no longer
needed their mother. Dick was
craftsman, married and earning good
money. But he and Marjory lived in
an apartment house where dogs, blrds
and children were not considered de-
sirable tenants. Lucia taught in the
CITY schools and earned her $500 a
wear. She came home infrequently.
for during her vacations she either
studied or Travelled. Edward was
chauffeur to a rich old man who spent
his Winters in Florida and his Sum
mers abroad. She did not see Edward
once a year. Olivia sighed as she
counted out her cookies. Fifty-eight
cookies. She had always made them
that way and she could never seem to
learn a different way. Fifty-eiEht
cookies for one person were too many.

to assume catastrophe proportions,
started last night at the oil deposits of
the West India Oil Co. Five tank

people. Only a few yards distant from
