Your
Home
An Old Age Insurance
Rent Money Is Lost
Home Buying Is Saving
BY E. X. ALLEN
Real Estate Editor

In the evening OF lie, Cne pos
session of a home is one OF
earth's greatest material COM
forts. Surrounded by cherished
furniture and mementoes of the
happy family which rornped
through the rooms. grew UP in.
to sturdy manhood and woman
hood and passed through the
portals out into the busy world,
the owned home becomes a
sacred thing apart from any
other possession of mankind.
Fear of the landlord or rent col
.lector is a thing unknown. The
feeling of peace and security is
worth many times the labor
and sacrifices required to pay
for it.
Every one of us have knowl-
edge of such home, where
peace. and security dwell and
where the fast passing years
are but the realization of the
fondeSt dreams of life.
On the other hand is the
couple who have squandered
life's golden hours on pleasures
and possessions which brought
them JOY for the time being,
but meant nothing in future
benefits. What has the evening
of life in store for them? Nov
ing from apartment to apart
ment, continually under a roof
which belongs to someone else,
paying for a home which never
belongs to them. passing
through life without having
known the great Joy attached
to the possession of a home.
AS a case in point, there
issued from an old apartment
house on Columbia Heights an
aged couple who had occupied
the same apartment for 20
years. The failure of the stock
j. market had wiped away the
greater part of their ife's saw
ings. They were moving to a
small apartment in a less de-
sirable part of the city. The
old lady was heartbroken at
the thouht Of leaving behind
her the environment and as
sociation of 20 years.
y They had paid 500 per month
for this six-room apartment.
DOUBTLESS it will now rent for
$50 or $75, but they had paid
500 each month, which would
amount to a total of $4,000 in
the 20 years they lived there.
Twenty years ago, $4,000
would have bought an exceed
tngly fine home. The other
$4,000 would have made a nice
nest egg.
But it is too late to foresee
the future-when it is past!
OWN YOUR HOME!
Start now, while values are
down, and before the recent in
creaseS in the prices of building
materials affect the prices of
the new homes which are being
planned now.
You will find many remark
able. values in many homes be-
ing offered on the market today
If you look around and make
your selection carefully.
There are some good values
advertised elsewhere on this
page today. Take the family
out today or tomorrow and look
them over thoroughly. You may
find the right kind of home at
the right kind of a price to suit
yourself and the entire family.

SUMMERTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTTE.

TN the height of Summer and in
the heat of the day there are very
few ants that stir abroad-an eX-
i ception to the general rule that
the hotter 1t gets the more active
insects become. Around my house, at
least, on the hot stone terrace steps,
where the red garden ants live, and
the fiercely baked and beaten paths
where sometimes the big jet-black
ants have their fortlike dwelling, not
sign Of ant life is stirring. 1t is pos
sible, of course, that the ants remain
down in their nests for other reasons
than a dislike of heat. They do not,
for instance, like light very well,
either-Strong light, tnat is, that al
lows ultraviolet rays to beat on them.
An experiment was conducted by
throwing a beam Of ultraviolet on a
nest on one side and of infra-red on
the other. The ants all fed the ultra
violet exposure and also moved all their
eggs out Of the way Of the intolerable
ray into the infra-red.
To our eyes ultraviolet and infra-
red are invisible; we see nothing when
not know Of their existence but for
their peculiar effects upon certain
chemicals and on living tissue. But
the eye OF an ant, which cannot see
foot ahead of it, perfectly distinguishes
ultraviolet and infra-red and gees
them as distinct colors, as brilliant and
separate as are blue and yellow. But
what those colors look like we shall
never know.
On the other hand, the arts in my
garden generally emerge wnile the sun
is still shining in the late afternoon
and, at certain seasons, they bring out
their queens and kings, as If to eXer-
else them or encourage them in the
marriage flight.
At such times also, proximal nests
do most of their fighting. The black
satin ants now attack the garden reds,
which, since they smell and probably
taste of honey, drive the carnivorous
and honey-sipping black satins mad
with appetite But, though the black
Satins are bigger, they are not very
fierce or brave and they do not at
tack in massed formation. I find
their carcasses every morning strewn
around the hills of the little reds.
Far fiercer are the combats Of the
terrible Jet blacks who defend. their
nests against the yellow-belted browns.
The yellow-belts are about a tenth
pick them up they cannot make me
feel their jaws, while the jet blacks
bite me painfully. Yet they actually
assault their big enemies day after day
and, relying on numbers, win tempo
rary encounters, calling off the attack
only at nightfall. Then the slavish
black satins run over the scene of car
mage one mass of severed legs, heads
and abdomens, and ghoulishly draw the
remains of both parties to their nests
to guzzle.
