Liberty Bonds Heavily Held Here.

The second Liberty loan A per cent
bonds and the second Liberty loan
converted Al per cent bonds, which
have been called for payment on No
vember Is by Secretary Mellon, are
very largely held in Washington.
When these war bonds were placed on
sale, Capital residents took their full
quota and thousands of local holders
of these securities will have to watch
their steps as the time approaches

Indeed it is unusual to see a
small house of the English type as
architecturally correct and as
beautiful as is this one. Being about
the latest style to come into popu-
larity, it bears the stamp OF
modernity and up-to-dateness.
Entrance is had from a small
porch into the living room, yet
the house is so placed as regards
the prevailing winds that any
breeze when the door is opened
will strike against the partition
separating the dining room and
living room. This arrangement
turns all hall space into living
room space, thus making that room
so much larger.
The feature of the living room
is the popular fireplace, around
which the family so likes to gather
of chilly nights. And an added
attraction is the seats at either
side, forming a sort of nook that
is bound to endear itself to the
entire family.
The porch is enclosed in the
winter time, and screened in the
summer, thus making it an all year
round addition to the living room
The same thing may be done with

NICKEL FAV0RITE
WINS!
Cigar Popular for Thirty
Years Now Selling in the
Millions at sc. Smokers
Everywhere Enthusiastic

An astounding success, this cigar.
For years it sold at more than,
nickel. 1t was so good that the de
mand increased amazingly. We
brought it down to five cents
straight. Then we improved it. To-
day more smokers are buying 1t
than ever before.
We want skeptics to try out
Havana Ribbon against any other
five-cent cigar. Test it for every
quality found in a good cigar
ripeness of tobacco used, flavor:
fragrance, body, and mildness. All
we ask is for you to buy one HGvanG,
Ribbon at five cents. Smoke 1t and
ask yourself if you ever tasted such
quality in any cigar at anywhere
near like the price. You'll never
wonder again whether cigar sell
ing at sc can be really satisfying
You'll knoW it is.

the porch at the righ, which may
readily be turned into a breakfast
porch if desired.
In order to keep the house as
small as possible. no pantry was
provided, the communicating door
being so placed as to prevent
those in the dining room from see
ing much of the kitchen. Should it
be desired to have a pantry or
a breakfast nook, one could very
easily be provided just in back of
the porch, and forming part of it.
The kitchen range may be either
of the coal type or gas or electric
ity, in which latter cases the chin
ney would be omitted, thus reduc-
ing the cost of the house.
The second story contains three
bed rooms each provided with good
sized closet, and the masters bed
room has two. The house can be
built for from $4,500 to $500,
according to lacation and finish.
A complete set of working draw
ings including floor plans,
elevations, details of construction
and trim may be obtained at

The Pleasantville press., 1927-09-20

The English type of house is
rapidly becoming popular, for it is
essentially a domestic sort of
dwelling. Ordinarily only the
larger and more expensive homes
are designed in this style, for it
is a rambling type that is very
difficult to handle in the small
house. Yet the house illustrated
this week, designed especially for
us by Philip Resnyk, the popular
New York architect of small homes,
4 is decidedly not large house
lit only appears so. The lines are
$50 graceful and the house is SO
well proportioned that it gives the
appearance of being much larger
than it really is.
q Notice how the gable at the right
n Is brought down to overhang the
porch, and how the lines of the
4 roof at the left are carried out over
I the porch there. 1t is this treatment
which gives the appearance OF
width to the house; imagine the
roof cut off at the beginning OF
the porches and it will immediate
" be seen how small the house
I really is. 1t is handling like this
which marks the work of the truly
/ ekillful architect.

UNCLE SANS HOT STUFF

Another fine example of govern
ment bureaucracy is seen in a recent
warning by the Federal Trade Com
mission addressed to the Durant
lokla.) Weekly News, which had
been doing battle for home mer-
chants against mail order houses.
The News had published an offer
of years subscription to anyone
who would deliver at its office mail
order catalogue weighing two pounds
or more. of course, the idea was
merely to emphasize the advisabilitv
of buying at home and incidentally to
get the catalogues out of the way.
But the Federal Trade Commission
ruled that this was interfering with
the business of the mail order houses
and ordered the News to stop buving
catalogues. This zeal to protect the
poor, downtrodden mail order houses
is truly touching. Really, it is hot

At any rate, we now know how
sacred is the mail order catalogue. It

Abnormal Record of 1926
Commented on in In
spector's Report.

The value of building operations au-
thorized during the last fiscal year
declined by more than $13 ,000,00 from
the high record set during the fiscal
year 1926, according to the annual re-
port of Building Inspector John w.
Oehmann, submitted to the Commits
sioners today.
In 1926 the value Of all permits is
sued totaled $63, ,599, ,2S0, while for the
last II months the total value of work
authorized was 9,776, 1865. The build
ing inspector points out, however,
that construction activity was con-
sidered abnormal during 1925 and
1926.
He stated that the 1924 record of
S39, ,4O3, 900 is normal for Washington
and that therefore the total for last
year OF more than $40, 100000 is a
substantial increase over the normal
volume of building in Washington.
The building inspector declares the
number of permits issued for this
fiscal year, as compared with the pre-
vious year, emphasizes that the vast
amount of work was of remodeling
nature rather than the larger projects.
Permits were issued for 2,397 one
family houses, a decrease of 1860
compared with the previous year.
