genuine saving which will eventual

And don't let your own dreams
Of extravagant but non-essential
details keep you from owning the
roof over your head.
The United States government
has bureau which is engaged in
every kind of study that will aid
home ownership. James S. Taylor,
director of the Division OF Building
and Housing Department of Com
merce, tells story which illustrates
one of the natural difficulties
home ownership.
The Junior class in high school.
TAYLOR says, was asked recently to
ist the items it considered neces-
sqrv for a home. When these stu
dents finished their modest calcula-
tions it was found that the kind of
homes they thought they required
would cost not less than $3o,Ooo.
I The instructor 5y1,O t7olved tins
problem then had the students go
over their papers and eliminate
/ items until they had brought the
/ .ost Of their homes down to a fig
ure they might be able to pay. This
( weighing of items certainly gave
.bcsc Young people training that
many prospective home builders
I should have. Some people, ike the
Mgh school students contemplating
home ownership, think they must
have sunkcn baths, frescoed ceilings
and expensive outlooks. Although
they live in modest quarters when
they start their figuring such folks
get a total on pretentious dream
homes and are frightened out of
nome ownership, sometimes forever.

There always comes up the i'm
portant question: GLOW much can
my family afford to pay for
home?'' Here there are two things
to remember. 1t is bad for a fam
lily to oyerbuy, to purchase a more
expensive home than 1t can com
fOrtably pay for, and it is just as
bad for the family to underbuy and
select for their home Q structUeo

as to take out all the delights in
your great possession. But rc:Aem-
Der that as a renter you have es-
tablished certain living standards.
If due to over-caution, you purchase
or build a home lacking the atmos-
phere or conveniences to which You
have become accustomed, you and
your family may not enjoy home
ownership as fully as you should.
Nobody can lay down a hard and
fast rule, but in general it is well
agreed that the purchase price Of a
home should not exceed two and a
half or three times the family's an
ruaI income. Total monthly carry
ing charges, including financing
costs, should be Approximately ono
fourth and should not exceed one
third of the yearly income Monthly

Tokyo Presents Them to City of Washington After First Shipment Is Condemned = Riot of Color Offered to Eye.

Washington, March 20 R-The Japanese cherry blossoms, which early lure thousands of visitors 10 Washington, soon will be Haunting their banners of spring time.
 By April 4, more than 500 singla Towering trees on West Potomac park, probably will be in full bloom. Charles Henlock, chief of the horti- cultural division of public buildings and grounds, said today. These trees will be heavy with flowers and, bar ring too much wind, tho blossoms should last two weeks.
 Last Until May
 With the dying of the single blos- Sons, MT. Henlock expects about an equal number of double Towering trees in East Potomac park to open Tn full bloom. Running the gamut of pink, with color excursions into greenish gold, they wild retain their soft tints until about May 1.
 There are a dozen varieties of the trees planted here, Mir. Henlocll ex- plained, none of which bear fruit.
 One variety is called Happiness, and among others are Dawn" "Snow- Flakes" and "Yellow Gown,
 In November 1909, during the ad.. ministration of William Howard Taft, the municipality of Tokyo, Japan, presented to the city of Washington 2,00o cherry trees as q token of the high esteem held by the people of Tokyo for the people of the United States. These were condemned soon after arrival be- cause they were infected and an other group was sent in 1911 to re- place them. They prospered on alien soil.
 The first tree was planted by Mrs. Taft in the presence of the Japanese ambassador.
 Almost Reverence Trees
 Since ancient times the Japanese have regarded the Towering cher res with a feeling of admiration closely akin to reverence, and have given the utmost care to growing and propagating the finer types represented here. At the outset, Mr. Henlock said, only the single flow ering varieties were grown but later the double Towering kinds wee given special attention and perpet- uated by grating.

LECTURES

A lecture on Christian Science:
Gods Answer to Humanity's Cry
for Freedom" was delivered in
the Fourth Church of Christ,
Scientist, by william D. Kilpat-
rick, G. s. B., Of Detroit. Mr..
fitzpatrick is a member Of the
board Of lectureship Of the Mother
Church, the First Church of
Christ, Scientist, in Boston.
He was introduced by Sterling
r. March, first reader of Second
Church. This lecture was under
the auspices of First, Second,
Third and Fourth churches of
Christ. Scientist. in this city.
The lecturer said in part:
ut is thought by many that
the days of revelation are past;
that is, that the phenomenon Of
. revelation from God to man be-
longs to olden times-to Bible
timeS-and that such a revela-
ton is a thing not to be consid-
cred as a present-day possibility.
IF God is looked upon as a far
away, unknown, humanity circum-
scribed personality, revealed to
man only after death, then, of
course, this conclusion is natural,
but when God is known and un-
derstood to be what the Bible
says He is, namely. infinite, ever
present Love, divine Mind, ex-
pressed through man in divine
consciousness, a revelation from
God becomes a most natural ex-
perience."

that His disciples were to bear
the light which He had given
them into all the darkness of this

life that He gave them. They
were to do His will, carry His
