JIM AND BILL
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Jim and Bill were farmer boys,
And friends so fond and true,
Hunting and fishing together,
And in all they had to do
To the little country schoolhouse
Both Jim and Bill did go;
Carving the initials of their names
On the same old desk you know.
In the summer time together,
They would take real good swim,
And underneath the stars sometimes
Would slumber Bill and Jim.
The good old game of baseball,
And on the same old team,
They played together best of all,
With faces all agleam.
The years passed on, and they grew
up
To middle aged men;
Together worshiped in the Church,
Their lives a glad amen.
Some day, in yonder City,
The homeland of the soul,
They will sing Gods praise together,
Where the surges cease to roll.

SCIENCE TO SPUR
HOMES DEMAND
Housing Leader Believes New
Conveniences Will Play
Vital Sales Role.

CHICAGO, July 8.-Scientific devel-
opInents which make for more con-
venient. comfortable and healthful liv-
ing will play a tremendous part in
increasing public desire for home own
ership. These developments also will
bring into being giant new industries
employing tens of thousands of men
and contributing to new era of
prosperity.
This belief is expressed by ]. Soule
Warterfield. Chicago, chairman of the
newly launched National Association
for Better Housing. made up of repre-
sentatives of industries manufacturing
home equipment, the building trades
and allied fields. The new association
was created at the annual convention
of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards here
Mr.. Warterfield expressed the opinion
that the groundwork for a new indus
try, rivaling the automobile business
in scope. has been solidly laid. He
pointed out that the selling job of the
building trades divides itself into two
parts. First. he said, they must create
the desire to modernize present homes
and build up incentive for new home
ownership, thereby removing present
facilities from competition with the
new
Any equipment which will bring
added comforts at low cost will COM

incentive to continue home ownership
The second part is to put the new

NEW PLAN URGED
IN CITY BUILDING
Clarence S. Stein of New York
Declares American Munich
paIities Obsolete.

American cities are obsolete, accord
ing to Clarence S. Stein Of the New
York Chapter of the American Insti-
tute of Architects, who urges that Fed
eral expenditures to relieve unemploy-
ment should not be used "in a futile
attempt to revise bankrupt past" but
rather to build solid foundation for
the future
Declaring that the houses and cities
Of the past will not do. Mr. Stein.
former chairman of the New York Com
mission of Housing and Regional Plan
ing, asserts the need for a new tech
nique of city building. in which indi-
vidualistic haphaZard methods are dis
carded.
The framework of the city plan and
every detail down to the last house and
the view out of the windows of that
house should be conceived of as re-
lated and inseparable wholesome and
beautiful background for living and
working" he explains.
ideally, these should be a single
operation from raw land to complete
neighborhood community. All the
waste of subdivision, sale of lots,
individual construction of separate
dwellings should be replaced by single
large-scale operation
THE bankruptcy that is faced by our
larger cities is not so much the result
of municipal corruption as of the double
load Of supporting the unremunerative
slums and blighted districts in the
heart of our cities and the vast ex-
pansion of highways. public utilities
and subways that was necessitated by
extravagant municipal growth to serve
unrestricted real estate development"
Mr.. Stein says in a statement made
public by the institute.
"Blighted neighborhoods that exist
in every large city throughout the
country are the result of an antiquated
individualistic method of planning,
building. land ownership, and COM
Munity diSorganiZation.
In Detroit, the II square miles that
form the central core of the city are
all blighted with the exception of a few
small groups of modern buildings. In
Cleveland. the Housing Committee of
the Chamber Of Commerce and the city
has found % of the II square miles Of
the city both unfit places for human
living and unremunerative as property.
The Lower East Side of New York
lost SO per cent of its population be-
tween 1910 and 1890 In Philadelphia
the population has been drained out Of
a constantly increasing central area"

Many Novel Suggestions for New

Chicago Fair.

CHICAGO. July 8.-What probably
Is the largest exhibit of modern home
construction, furnishings, equipment
and building materials ever assembled
awaits prospective home owners who
visit the Century of Progress Exposi-
ton
With the public again showing signs
OF interest in home building and re-
modelling, the building industry is offer
ing much to whip this spark of interest
into high flame
Marked interest is being shown in
the model homes and the houses and
homes of tomorrow" of which there are
score or more Fifty Thousand visitors
viewed one of these homes during the
first seven days of the Worlds Fair
Houses OF brick. steel, porcelain. wood
glass and countless compositions and
patented processes make up the model
homes group. The much-talked-o of
home without windows is there, as well
as a house with walls made almost en-
tirely Of glass. Practically all of these
homes have fiat roofs, and several have
roof gardens. Costs range from $500
to $25,0OO.
Most of the homes follow modern
lines. but 1t is obvious that the first
concern Of the architect was to make
these dwellings livable All OF them
are designed for the utmost in comfort

REALTY STABILITY

Dependabi|ity Of Investment
Cited by President of

Commenting on a widespread i'm
provement. both locally and nationally
in the real estate situation, William c.
Miller, president of the National Asso-
ciaticn of Real Estate Boards and
member of the realtor firm of w. C. &,
A. N. Miller, declares that "out of the
tragedy of the depression has come a
realization of the stability and depend

Not only is there increased buying
of real estate" the realtor said today,
but there is also a demand for COM
petent service in appraisals. renting.

cages, insurance and other consulta-
ton.
The fundamental security of in
vestments, and the mortgages on prop
erly appraised real estate has been DEM
onstrated so forcefully that investors
are again seeking the opportunity to put
their money in this form of security.
Reports from various parts of the coun-
try show that prices are tending to
stiffen, rentals have ceased to decline
and mortgage money is becoming more
available than has been the case for
the past several months"
Real estate. in the opinion of Mr..
Miller, has demonstrated its soundness
all through the economic crisis In
veStorS who sacrificed holdings in waves
of hysterical selling are now returning
to reacquire them. he says.
The past 10 weeks in Washington has
witnessed great improvement in build
ing and real estate activity generally.

Continued DECLINE
IN TAX BASIS SEEN
Baltimore Views 1884 Outlook
With Seriousness, So Far as
Realty Is Concerned.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, July 8.-The taxable
basis of Baltimore city. so far as as
sessments on real estate are concerned,
will. in all proba bility. continue to show
a decline when the figures for 1884 are
made up next October, it is forecast at
the city hall.
On the other hand, that portion Of
the something less than half
which is comprised by stocks and bonds
is very likely to show an increase for
next year. owing to the marked rise In
security prices.
A drop Of any specified amount
say 81 900 000-in the real estate as
sessments is a far more serious matter
from the standpoint of municipal reve-
nue. than drop Of the same amount in
security assessments. Real estate is
taxed at the full city rate or. in the
case Of property in the outlying sec
tions, at very large fractional rates.
The full city rate for the current year.
for example, Is $265. But the rate on
security assessments is fixed. being 80
cents for each hundred dollars of as
SeSsed value.
Thus. decline OF $1,000,000 in real
estate assessments (assuming all the
propertysin question to be subject to
the full city rate) would mean a reve-
nue. loss of $26, 500. while a decline of
81 ,000, 900 in security assessments would
mean a revenue loss to the city OF only
$4,000.

HOME FINANCING
DRIVE LAUNCHED
Nationwide Campaign Is
Started to Unity Building
and Loan Groups.

CHICAGO, July "a nation wide
drive to bring thousands Of building
and loan associations into unified

Roosevelt home financing plans got
under way here today.
The United States Building and Loan
League, national trade association OF

has appointed some 200 key men in as
many localities to present the program
and enlist the support OF associations
not hitherto individually affiliated with
the central organization. according to
Ward B. Whitlock of Springfield, ILL.,,
president of the league.
The drive will be conducted along
the lines of competitive teams working
toward the same goal Philip Lieber
of Shreveport. La. who Is vice presi-
dent of the league, will captain one
team and Clarence T. Rice of Kansas
City, Kans., chairman of the advertis-
of the league, will head the other.
When the league holds its forty-first
annual convention in Chicago Septem
Der l3, IA and Is, awards will be made
to the individuals among the key men
who succeed in bringing the largest
number of building and loan units into
the organization.
Leaders in the building and loan
business see that the ambitious home
financing program now being under
taken by the administration can be
successful only if unprecedented unity
of purpose exists among the aSsocia-
tons which are given the job Of car
rylng out that program" said Mr.
Whitlock. Some old fashioned evan
gelizing on the part of the associations
to bring thousands of our citizens to
a new realization of the virtues of
thrift must be undertaken and all as
sociations must work together in this
revival spirit
Then when we have brought the

administration is determined to push
Our associations must make common
cause in their cooperation with that
portion OF the mortgage program pro-
viding relief to home borrowers in dis
tress.
Associations have been attempting
to do many of these things in their
own individual way, but today it is
evident that the best results can be
obtained only if there is some measure
of regimentation. Cooperation is the
financial fundamental on which these
home-flnarcing institutions are or
ganized. cooperation between borrow
ers and savers. Therefore their nat
ural fitness in the new cooperative

HARMS ROOFS

The deterioration of nails used for
roofing purposes is the principal cause
of many roof failures. Nails often rust
and break of, allowing the roof cover
ing to become loose long before the
material itself shows signs of wear. The
use of rustproof roofing nails is. there
fore. an important factor in preserving
roof surfaces.
For wood shingles. cut shingle nails
are said to be best and for composition
shingles and roll roofing large headed
roofing nails are preferred. Roofing
nails come in different lengths and
should be selected according to the
thickness to be penetrated. For two
layers Of wood shingles, flve-penny nails
are best and for one layer three-penny
nails are sufficient

DAMP CELLAR BAD
Often Harmful to House as Well
as for Occupants.

A damp cellar IS bad for house as
well as for its occupants. If there is a
definite source of running water COM
ing into cellar at certain times, it
can be carried by a drain under the
cellar floor to a hole where an auto
matte electric pump can be installed, to
discharge into drain to dry well
whenever the water rises to certain
height in the hole or sump.
If the cellar walls are damp, the re-
pair of cutters and conductors and their
proper drainage to dry wells may cor
rect the cause. If not, damp-proofing
may relieve the trouble or membrane
water-proofing will eliminate it.
