REALTY BARGAINS
SEEN ABOUT OVER
Harry B. Pitts Says Many
Building Bids Have Been
Put Higher.

With sharp advance In commodity
prices already reflected in the asking
prices of homes, an end, to the era of
bargains in real estate is seen by Henry
B. Pitts, Washington real estate opera
tor.
He points out that carpenters, repair
contractors and builders generally dis
cover the cost of lumber and other es-
sential materials has advanced each
time they return to the supply COM
panies for purchases, and construction
bids on new homes and other struc-
lures are made with the time accep-
been withdrawn for revision upward of
late, he says.
Indication Of Stability.
Every indication today is for grad
ual stabilization of the home market
along levels reasonably low to the pur-
chaser, while at the same time protect
ing the seller against what had in some
instances become almost conf1scation, 4"
Mr.. Pitts declares
Several factors apart from the gen.
eral rise in prices enter into the situa-
tion. The new mortgage legislation has
had a tremendous effect in allaying
fears of foreclosure in the minds Of
potential home buyers. It has like
wise done much to alter the attitude
OF the mortgage holder.
The buyer Of today realizes he is
more secure in his purchase of a home
than were similar investors in preced-
Ing years. He understands that infia-
ton means increased rentals. He
knows that the man with an equity of
say so per cent in his home stands to
pront by an automatic increase in such
equity to the extent of the imitation
since ne can at any time pay of his
Indebtedness in cheaper dollars.
The momentum of the first phase
OF mnat1on may not be generally ap-
preciated until Autumn, but there is
ALREADY marked anticipatory revival
OF activity In connection with mod
ern1zation and repair of used prop
critics, says Mr. Pitts.
Neglected Several Years.
For several years." he explains, "this
work has been neglected The money
necessary Tor 1t has been unobtainable,
out there are already signs of loosenine
credits and new and prolonged activ.
ity along these lines should follow.
This work of modernization nrob-
ably will be rushed in Washington. As
the political capital of the Nation. the
city formerly had its active and dull
months. Now that the city is about
to be made the industrial capital as
well. 1t will take on new aIl-year i'm

HOME OWNERS WARNED TO CLEAN
BOILERS DURING IDLE MONTHS
Danger to Equipment When Not in Use Seen Greater
Than When Producing Heat.

Bureau suggests that a competent
heating contractor be requested to
clean the boiler thoroughly.
Cleaning of the boiler consists Of
the removal Of SCOT. ash and residue
from all heating surfaces and the re-
moval of clinkers, cinders and ashes
from the fire pot CRATES and ash pit.
The reliable heating contractor will
take advantage of this opportunity to
advise the home owner on the condition
of his CRATES. Broken or badly-warped
CRATES may be responsible for the
wasting Of fuel by permitting unburned
or artlyburned fuel to pass into the
ash pit for disposal.
Cleaning of the outer surfaces Of the
boiler, too, is important and the ap-
plication Of a preservative paint to
parts normally painted is recon-
mended.
Evening star., 1933-07-01

Damage incurred by boilers during
the Summer months is often more Sc
rious than that received during the
period of operation in the Winter. ac-
cording to the Plumbing and Heating
Industries Bureau.
The principal cause Of damage in
the Summer is corrosion resulting
from the combination of moisture in
the cellar air and sulphur in the
SCOT, ash and residue.
Corrosion of the boiler reduces its
usefulness, so that replacement may
be required before the building in
which it is installed has outlived its
usefulness. A boiler should. If given
proper care. give from 40 to so years
of efficient service.
To the homeowner who wants to
put his boiler in the half-century class,

THE GREEDY COUSINS

Nov that Jack Frost had opened
L y the chestnut burrs and the
hickory husks the Merry Little
BreeZes saw a chance to help some
of their friends. Ever since they
had been unable to get anyone to
play with them they had wished
that they might find some work to-
do. Everyone else, at least nearly
everyone else, was so very busy
making ready for winter thats the
Merry Little Breezes were beginning
to feel just a wee bit ashamed to be
doing nothing but play all day long
1t was the sight of those open burrs
and husks that gave one of them an
idea.

Look up In the top of that tail
chestnut tree, and tell me what you
see," cried the Merry Little Breeze
who had first spoken.
All the other Merry Little Breezes
looked up In the top of the tall
chestnut tree and for a few minutes
no one said word. At last one
of them spoke:
II don't see anything that | haven't
seen every day lately, except that
Jack Frost has pinched open the
burrs so that we can see the brown
nuts. He must have done that last
night
"That's just itp' cried the first
Merry Little Breeze. Yesterday
those burrs were closed. but today
they are open and that gives Us a
chance to help the squirrel cousins.
Don't you see nOw?'
But the other Merry Little Breezes
didn't see, and they said SO. watch

Breeze, and raced over to the tall
chestnut tree He shook the top
most branch on which were several
wide-open burrs and out fell the
brown nuts and ratified down
through the leaves to the ground

who was just starting to climb
tree. He didn't keep on climbing
No, indeed. Without so much as
look up to see what had made those
brown nuts fall. Happy Jack scam
pered after them. You see. he was
afraid that If he left them lying
there his cousin Chatterer, or hfs
other cousin, little Striped Chip
munk, would come along and find
them. So Happy Jack scurried
about for those brown nuts the
Merry Little Breezes had shaken
down, and when he found them he
hurried to hide them.

saw right away what the first Merry
Little Breeze meant by way In.

ground just waiting to be picked up
and carried away. He darted for
ward to fill his cheeks with them,
only to have Happy Jack the gray

"Those are my nuts!" shouted
Happy Jack, and his voice was very

The Merry Little Breezes stopped
shaking the branches Of the tall
chestnut tree and looked down In
dismay. 1t seemed to them there
were trees enough for both, but
here were those two cousins so
greedy that they were quarreling
and growing angrier every minute
It was quite dreadful.

At Fort Myers, Florida, a dog
chased a kitten up a pine tree. The
kitten, afraid to climb down, stayed
aloft all day and all night. Men
laughed, their wives did not. Three
of them, according to the Associ-
ated Press, told their husbands they
would not eat a bite until they
brought that kitten down, and they
didn't eat while the kitten stayed
in the tree, piteously meowing for
three days.
The husbands, worried not about
the suffering of the kitten, but
about their hungry wives, called
the fire department, the kitten was
rescued, and the three wives ate.
THAT is more important than 1t
sounds, proving what needs no
proof, that woman's kindness, the
strange moral superiority" that
nature has planted in them, has
gradually changed men from big
toothed, low-brow savages to semi
civilized men.
