OF the eight, New Jersey leads with
$284.93 per capita invested with build
ing and loan associations. Its closest
rival is Ohio, with $193.13, followed by
Pennsylvania, with $t45.36; District of
Columbia, with s140.51; Maryland, with
$131.78; Massachusetts,, with $12793;
Nebraska, with $1l8.62, and Utah, With
$101.76 per capita in building and loan
holdings.
The figures are based on the 1880
population census and the tabulation
by States of the assets from all build
ing and loan associations in the coun-
try at the beginning OF 1880.
Eleven States have for every member
of their populations between $50 and
500 saved in these home-financing in

WORLD WAR CREDITED
FOR NEW ARCHITECTURE
Medal Winner Says It Prompted
Construction of More Scien-
tific Buildings.

The World War caused IAN overnight
revolution" in architecture, according
to W. Pope Barney, of the Philadelphia
, Chapter of the American Institute Of
Architects, winner of the Gold Medal
of Honor of the Architectural League
of New York in 1929.
Architects" he says, "felt the urge
to debunk their thought OF what they
began TO feel was perhaps outworn ira
dition, and clients to question If styliS-
tic purity were not come by too dear
Iy If it sacrihced light, air and con-
Yenience, and entailed an elaboration
of surface decoration out Of harmony
with the tendency toward a quieter
taste.
THE work of the last decade, there
fore, shows a more logical and scien-
tiflc approach on the part Of the archi-
tects in producing buildings which are
| functionally more perfect, struct'lrally
more scientific, and esthetically more
sincerely expressive Of their time, pur-
pose and materials, albeit less historic
eally stylistic."

BUILDING GROUP FORMED

A Memphis building congress has
been organized under the leadership of
M. H. Furbringer, director of the
American Institute of Architects, and
Robert D. Kohn, president of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects.
The Memphis congress, which is
modelled after the congress in New York,
is the first Of its kind in the South. A
statistical department to gather infor-
nation on construction, real estate and
banking as these subjects affect the
building industry win be the important
feature of its activities.

Wedding Invitations And Announcements

Announcements and invitations
are important items in planning and
budgeting a wedding.
Time has stood still concerning
their form. Wedding invitations of
the best taste are hand engraved and
worded in courtly, formal fashion,
just as they We're generation ago.
Engraved invitations are custom
airy for large weddings. They must
be on an excellent grade of paper
and they must be engraved. Print
ing, enclosing, or processing will
not be lust as good" 1t is re-
grettable that some stationers tell
their customers that these forms
are acceptable.
No Change in Form
The form of the invitation is al
ways the same. This is correct:
Mr.. and Mrs. Jonn Smith
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Margaret Ann
to
Mr.. James Holden Blank
Saturday, the sixth of June,
at four o'clock
Saint PauPs Church
Chicago
If there is a reception a sman
card is enclosed bearing the words:
Reception
Immediately Following the
Ceremony
The Blank Hotel
Announcements also follow a set
form, thus:
Mr.. and Mrs. James Smith
announce
the marriage of their daughter
Margaret Ann
to
Mr.. James Holden Blank
Saturday, the sixth of June,
In the Citv of Chicago
Announce the marriage of their
daughter" should be on one line.
1t is imperative that a good sta
TONER be consulted about announce
ments and the invitations The type,
the paper and the wording must be
absolutely correct and in good taste.
Address on Envelopes
Both of these cards come with
two envelopes. The outer is address
sed in full, but the inner one is I'M
sealed and bears only the names.
For instance, an invitation addressed
to Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith would
have just "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on
the inner envelope.
It is not correct to send one to
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and fam
ily." Grown members of the family
are sent individual invitations or an

nouncements. Invitations are mailed
no later than two and no earlier than
three weeks before the day of the
ceremony, after it has taken place.
For the small, informal wedding
hand written notes of invitation
are perfectly correct. These are
written by the bride or her mother
on social note paper and take the
form of personal notes. They are
mailed a week before the ceremony.
Particular circumstances often
necessitate slight changes in the
form of announcements and invita-
tons. Where the parents are not
living or are divorced the usual form
cannot be followed, and there are
many other variations dependent on
individual circumstances. If brides
find that the usual forms will not
suffice for them we will be glad to
advise suitable one on receipt of a
stamped, addressed envelope and a
letter detailing the situation.

GETH JEAN.
If the boy doesn't care for your
girl friend nor she for him, don't
see why they should go together to
please his sister. But they may care
more than you think or than they
pretend.
All you can do is to be pleasant
to this boy, remembering that if he
really cares for you he will give up
the other girl and eventually you will
have your chance. Don't run after
him. show him how much you care
nor allow the little incident you de-
scribe to be repeated. He NAV have
done as he did because you have
shown him too plainly that you do
care, so be on your guard. Don't be
deceived that easily into thinking he
really cares for you. He will show
it in various ways if he does.
Do not be too sentimental nor lose
your heart so easily. All girls who
do that find to their sorrow that it's
an almost certain way to lose out.
If this boy does not pay you at
tention openly, you will have to
make up your mind that he is not
interested in you and you might just
as well get over your infatuation for
him as soon as you can.

Beauty Hints
FOOT TROUBLES


From message issued by the Ma
tional Association of Chiropodists-
PediatriSts we learn these facts vital
to foot health and beauty:
THE majority of foot troubles
come from Incorrect shoes. The in
ner edge Of the sole of your shoes
should be straight. The hinge Of
the foot is across the ball and this
part of the shoe should be free to
move easily and naturally. Shoes
should allow the foot to function
normally; long enough and wide
enough, roomv over the toes and fiji
ting snugly around the heel and over
the instep.
The shoe that fits your neighbor
well may not fit you at all. Learn
to select shoes that fit. Take plenty
of time when buying shoes. Have
vour feet measured by standardized
methods. Try on both shoes of p

When carrying the bodv's weight tho

Portable when YOU stand with your
weight upon both feet. but when you
throw all your weight upon one foot
the shoe may be quite uncomfort.

never kept. Then one day told
him not to come any more. Now |

whether | am at home or working or

Whenever | go out with a boy he

when | refuse he says I'm not the

No, don't start doing any of the
things you mention. They would not
bring you happiness, but would be
likely to end in unhappiness and re-

sirable. If you set out to. | think
you can find them in your home
