A Sermon for Today
Spoiled by Worldly Success.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"And Solomon did eUil in the sight OF
the Lord Kings 1876.
The Bible never whitewashes any of
its characters, never seeks to conceal
the faults and failures of its heroes.
Solomon'S fall is told in the same
frank way as the story of his wisdom
and wealth and grandeur is told.
What the Bible wants US to see is not
Solomon so much as Gods dealings with
Solomon. The important thing for us
to see is the law of cause and effect as
it operates in his moral and spiritual
life.
There are many men high up in the
world today who need the warning
which is given in the story OF Solo
mons apostacy. 1t all-the whole sad
and tragic story-began in the pride of
worldly success. How are the mighty
faIlen?" At the foot of the worlds
pinnacle of fame and fortune may be
found the mangled forms OF many
mighty ones, fallen from their high sta
ton because of vanity which became
needless and reckless.
Because one has had long period
of prosperity and successful achieve
ment is no guarantee against the posi-
bility of a disastrous fall.
Some one has said that when man
Is going up the hill of prosperity he
often meets his soul coming down.
John Bunyan saw a door opening
down to hell hard by the Celestial City.
And hard by the goal of success is a
dangerous precipice, and whoever
reaches that goal should beware.
Prosperity not only tends to make
one vain, but it makes possible indul-
gences that may quickly undermine the
whole structure of his success and for
tune.
We have seen many a man of high
reputation go down in ruin and shame
spoiled by worldly success.

When you wake up In the morning
do you sometimes feel sluggish and
loath to leave your comfortable bed?
And when you cannot delay any longer,
do you arise and begin dressing without
enthusiasm? You sleepily look into
your mirror and perhaps see a drowSy
individual with pasty complexion and
lack-luster eyes.
OF course. if you were up late the
night before, that pepless morning
after" feeling is to be expected, but
oftentimes this early morning inertia
merely shows that ones circulation
needs stirring up.
During sleep the blood does not circu-
late so actively as when one is up and
about. Unless the muscles are kept
strong and supple by exercise, the blood
tends to stagnate in certain large blood
vessels, with the result that one feels
sluggish and sometimes mentally de-
pressed.
A good way to dispel these negative
feelings is to stimulate the circula-
ton by brisk exercises such rs I am
going to describe
Begin the exercise period with a
good stretching as you lie in bed
Exercise one in our morning, wax
ing-up program is the we'll known
pumping exercise, which is done lying
on ones back. Expand the chest fully
and hollow the abdomen. Hold this
position for four slow counts. Still
holding your breath, contract your
chest, thus forcing the diaphragm down
and the abdomen out. Hold this po-
sition as you count one, two, slowly.
Repeat the exercise twice without let
ting the breath out of your lungs. Now
relax and breathe deeply and evenly
several times before repeating the exer-
else from the beginning. The whole
exercise. including the restful breath
ing periods between, may be done sew
eral times. Avoid the feeling of strain
by holding the breath for a shorter
time than I have suggested, If neces-

INDICATES INCREASE
National Association Figures Give
73 for April and 1876 for
Following Month.

An increase Of real estate market
activity for May over April is reported
by the National Association, of Real
Estate Boards, following the compila-
tion of its regular monthly index figure
on real estate activity. The figure 73.
indicating real estate market activity for
April, showed an increase of 2.7 over
the figure for March, and the figure
75.5, indicating May activity, shows an
increase of O.5, making total increase
OF more than three points during the
past two months.
The index is based upon official re-
ports of the total number of deeds re-
corded in 65 typical cities throughout
the country. Real estate activity for
the year 1926 is taken as the base year
in computing the monthly figure.

LAWN SURROUNDS
FOURTH STAR HOME
Treatment of Rear Service
Entrance Is Interesting
Feature of Building.

One of the interesting features of
the fourth 1890 Star model home, now
on exhibit at 1925 Locust road, in
Northgate, is the treatment of the rear
service entrance whose appearance be-
lies its utilitarian purpose, as seen in
the accompanying picture.
Here is found neat flower garden
that beauties the approach to the
steps and porch leading to the rear
door. The garden is marked by the
sweeping lines of the whitewashed brick
wall that is a continuation of the ex-
terror wall of the left front wing of
the house proper. This runs to a quaint
wooden gate, hung on heavy metal
hinges.
Outside this wall is the lawn that
surrounds the whole dwelling. Inside
is a nice arrangement of roSebushes
constituting the keynote of the land
scaping treatment there.
Garage Built Into Basement.
On the other side of the rear wing of
the house is the gravel driveway lead
ing to the garage which is built into
the basement of the house. Near the
entrance of the garage is found a paved
parking space for convenience in han
ding an automobile.
The grounds of the model home slope
gradually to the rear and this brings
the basement floor up to the level of
the rear grounds. This makes possible
the placing of servants quarters in the
basement on ground f1oor level, assuring
freedom from dampness and providing
ample light and air. The service and
storage portions of the basement for
the same reason are well lighted and

CLARITY IN zON|NG
CODE TO Be SOUGHT
Hearing on Eight Story Build
ingS viii Be Held
on July 2.

To clarity the meaning of the amend
ment to the District code, adopted early
this month, which permits construc-
ton of eight-story apartment buildings
in areas now zoned with 60-foot height
limit, in cases where the percentage of
the lot occupied by the structure is
greatly reduced, the Zoning Commits
sion announces a public hearing for July
on perfected working of the amend
ment.
The purpose of the change in word
ing is to prevent difficulties which
might have arisen over Interpretation
of the amendment and does not change
the purpose of the new regulation, it is
explained.
The amendment is designed to per-
init construction of taller buildings hav-
ing greater side yards than under the
old rule. Formerly also, 60-foot build
ings not more than As feet deep could
be erected without any side yards. Pro-
ponentS of the new rule declare that
it would stimulate construction of
apartments more desirable to tenants
because of greater light and air and
grounds, encourage the building of
more fireproof structures because regu-
lations in this regard are more strin-
gent for the taller buildings, and that
the taller buildings would be architec-
turally more attractive than the smaller
buildings formerly permitted because of
the requirement of greater space be-
tween buildings:
The amendment as reworded reads:
I'm the residential, 60-foot c area
district on streets 110 feet or more in
width, buildings may be erected to any
height not to exceed 80 feet, nor more
than eight stories in height, provided
that for each feet, or fraction there
of, above so feet, the allowable lot
occupancy shall be reduced by per
cent of the total lot area, and provided
further, that such buildings shall have
side yard on each side and that the
waiver contained in paragraph /, Sec
ton 10, shall not apply"
