High Liquor Prices
Bring U. S. Threat
OF Drastic Action
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
Federal liquor control chiefs
gave indications of displeasure
today over the soaring prices re-
ported for newly-legalized bever-
ages.
The administration started
studying a proposal that the Fed
eral Government levy all taxes
on bottled alcoholic beverages
and then apportion this revenue
among wet States.
The President has expressed
anxiety lest liquor taxes become
so high that bootleggers and illicit
traffic would continue to thrive.
The new study is considering the
possibility of avoiding double
taxation.
AS for present prices. one Off
cial said that while "a chaotic
condition must be expected for
the next few days" the admini-
stration certainly proposed to
bring about reasonable prices
through the power granted it
under the code authority on the
liquor industry.
Good whiskey, with the present
tax of S1.10 a gallon, should sell
for about $150 a quart, one Off
cial asserted.

SEIDIE 0AIL-MASONRY" HOMES ATTRACT HUNDREDS


homes erected by the Seidle or
ganization in beautiful Belle
Haven, Va, are attracting the
attention Of hundreds Of people
from Washington and suburbs.
Solid stone masonry. properly
laid up is an innovation in the
small home in this section OF
the country. The common
workman can lay up q brick
wall, but it takes an expert to
properly lay up a stone wall,
and in the Seidle organization
are some of the most expert
stone masons in the entire coun-
try, masons who have worked
on some Of the outstanding
Shrines and memorials through
cut the Eastern section Of the
Omitted States.
Blended COIOrings
Not only must the stones he
cut to fit perfectly, but they
must be selected to blend prop
erly in their coloring, and must
be laid up with the proper
amount of cement so that the
whole wall presents a perfect
picture in harmony, symmetry
and. coloring.
The selection of these various
stones requires not only expe-
1ience, but the eye Of an artist
so that the various blends OF
eolOring win be balanced in per
feet harmony like q perfectly
pieced patch work quilt.
The proper setting Of the
stones also requires the skilled
stone mason, as they must be
cut to fit perfectly on all four
sides and at the same time pre-
sent an irregular pattern, yet
with q perfect balance as re-
cards the other sections of the
vail, They must also be laid
SO that they will be perfectly
water tight and not admit OF
any moisture.
Thick Stone Walls
The old Cotswold cottages
present some fine examples OF
ancient masonry, the walls be-
ing from 18 to "A inches thick.
The beautiful homes built by
the Seidle organization in Belle
Haven are a modern adaptation
of this type Of architecture
with the quaint dormer win
dows to light the upper floor
rooms. To those who love the
quaint and picturesque, these
delightful little homes will APP
peal because Of their architec-
tural lines and their solid
masonry construction.
In the old Cotswold cottages
the floor of the first floor was
tagged, generally at random,
but ofttimes in some simple pat
tern. In the modern Seidle
homes the floors are beautifully
parquetted.
The oldtime cottage would
sometimes have partitions Of
paneled oak, the ceilings being
rough plastered or beamed with
joists of elm or oak. The Wis
itor will find the modern adap-
tation of this practice in these
Belle Haven homes.
Superior Construction
The Seidle organization is
proud Of the superior construe-
ton Of the new type Of homes
which they are building in this
lovely section of suburban
washington and are in hopes
that every resident Of the city
win drive out the Memorial
Highway and thoroughly in.
spect the finished product Of
their handiwork.
Every feature Of these homes
has been thoughtfully planned
and carefully constructed so
that every portion Of the home
is of substantial worth and
character, and yet can be Of
fered at a price that win meet

Dun-Bradstreet Review for Past Week Exception
 ally Encouraging
TRADE PROGRESSES
 IN BROAD SWEEP
No Indication of Usua Summer Lull Is Appar-
 ent in Industry

NEW YORK, June 23.-Business during the past week continued wholly unaffected by seasonal in fluences said Dun-BradStreet review today, and the expected hesitancy from uncertainties regarding ap- plication of commodity and process sing taxes is not apparent in man. ufacturing schedules which are generally above those of one week ago.
 Astonishment
 The review says the broadened sweep at which trade is now pro- gressing is eliciting astonishment from even the most worn veterans of industry as sustained strength of the upswing has passed boldly beyond the most sanguine expecta- tions.
 Further widening of employment continued and a rising trend in wages form base for large buying power.
 Consumer Trade
 Concrete evidence is the con- stantly widening distributive totals of each week and consumer. trade is being extended to additional items.
 Major industries fail to reveal even the faintest liklihood of the usual summer lull.
