a cock fight, poker, dice. or the Chinese game
of Main Poh.
60 it isn't surprising that the 57-year-old
- ruler, who is six feet tall and a mighty
hunter, who will brave any jungle forest to get
his game, took chance on marrying q white
woman.
The romance had started long, long before
the wedding took place.
Years and years ago when his first wife was
still alive the sultan's physician was an English
man, DR.. Wilson. He was great favorite with
the whole royal Malay family.
One day he announced that his son. who was
also doctor, was bringing his bride to Johore.
The sultan said that he would be very glad to
have Dr. and Mrs. William Brooke Wilson come.
The bride was Scotch lass. She was young,
very pretty, very slight The Malay ruler. who
knew women as well as he knew horses, was
very much attracted. The girls name had been
Bartholomew, he learned and she came from
Kilmarnock, where her father had been q
business man IN a small way.
The potentate flashed his dazzling grin, dom
ned his brightest robes and invited the doctor,
his son and his wife to come to the palace as
his guests. He kept repeating the invitation.
Mrs. Wilson was very sweet and friendly, and
If her Scotch soul resented the diamond mouth
she didn't mention it. After ALL a king has q
right to Q few odd habits. His original teeth
had been removed for his health.
Finally Mrs. Wilson sailed away to Great
Britain.

and 1t Is highly probable that
this Is the one real reason for
the marked activity in the smaller
construction field. Increased &C
tivity In the larger construction
field as recorded by the United
States Department Of Labor indi-
cate that such low prices are not
likely to prevail for q great period
Of time.
Much Of the work now going
on Is in the single house field,
the majority in suburban sec
tions, and largely by private
builders. The price range Is from
$4,000 to $50, 900 and according
to one Of Washington's leading
home builders, this is the type
Of home that Is now being sold.
Also showing increased activity
are gasoline service stations and
public and private garages. The

Of the most active in last

sistently so far for the past year

Competition, Lou Prices
Spur D. C, Building

The large number Of building
permits being issued BY the Dis
trict building inspectors office
indicates an activity in the local
construction field that has not
been known during the past nine
months. While most OF the per-
Inits are for small projects, they
demand large number Of con-
tractors.
Competition IN the small con-
struction field is exceedingly great
at this time. In fact during the
last few weeks bids for several Of
the smaller projects were opened,
it was shown that In some in
stances the difference in cost be-
tween the first and second low
bidders was as low as / per cent
and seldom over 10 per cent.
Keen competition among the
contractors has created q condi-
ton whereby the prospective
builder OF almost any type Of
project feels that he now has q
better opportunity for getting his
work completed at q low price
