Once, when a girl became en-

she would have to go in and
tell the boss that she must give
up her job; nowadays, she's
much more likely to go in and
ask him for a raise.

she was really hankering for,

There are supposed to be

NEW FACILITIES
ARE URGEDFOR
RECREATION
Doubling of Equipment H e d
Necessary as Result of
Short Work Hours

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Creation
of Federal, State, and city boards
to double Immediately the ma.
tons recreation facilities is urged
by William Orr Ludlow, of New
York, chairman of the committee
on industrial relations of tn e
American Institute of Architects.
Mr.. Ludlow predicts enormous
expansion in recreational enter,
prise, public and private, ranging
from parks and Fairgrounds TO
airplanes and radios.
National Action Needed
National and local action, he
says, is needed AZ once to avoid
misuse of leisure. He said:
Shorter working hours re-
quire provision for leisure on
an entirely new scale. The stu
alton is serious, for if leisure
means idleneSs we shall soon
be in bad way.
Cities, towns, villages, and
the Federal Government face
the necessity Of charging rec
reation facilities to twice their
present size. Public money will
be expended as never before to
provide places and things for
more outdoor life in summer
and more indoor possibilities
for exercise and entertainment
in winter.
SHORT HOURS CONTINUE
There will soon arise also a
greater e for commercial
instruments of recreatiOn-au-
tOmObiles, airplanes, movies,
steamboats,, radios. This need
is likely to be continuing, for
hours once decreased have
never yet increased.

District Ranks Second in U. S.
With $179 Per Capita,
Board Reveals

CHICAGO, Nov. "A third of
the States have building and loan
association assets exceeding $50
per capita, it is announced by
Morton Bodfish, executive vice
president of the United States
Building and Loan League.
Faced with major responsible
ties in putting a greater percent
age of present-day home owners
on longtime monthly repay
ment mortgage basis, the associa-
tionS have just finished surveying
the relationship between the
population of the several States
and their resources as reported
by States in the Building and
Loan Annals of 1888"
d. C. Is Second
Six States have resources in
their home financing institutions
averaging more than 500 per in
habitant. New Jersey leads with
1888 go; the District of Columbia
is next, with $179.56; Ohio,
$165.12; Massachusetts,. $124.10;
Maryland, $121.05, and Pennsyl-
vania, $108,42.
BodfiSh said:
"The need for home owner
ship in this country and for
practical longtime methods of
home financing demands that
the building and loan assets per
capita be increased. Ultimately
the challenge is up to the savers
of each community. We are
confident they will invest their
money in local mutual home fl
nancing institutions much more
readily when they have clearer
understanding of the type Of in
vestment it is.
LOANS STRESSED
"TOO many people in all of the
States think of the association
only as a lending institution.
They do not realize that more
than Is per cent of the entire
savings of this country are in
vested in building and loan assO-
Citations.
"The average per capita for
the entire country is S6S.13. 1t
should be between $50 and $500
to put all our home financing
in this country on a sound basis.
Three factors are operating in
the field today to lift this aver
age for the country. First, the
Federal home loan banks are in
operation; second, the Federal
savings and loan association
funds set aside by the United
States Treasury; and third, the
building and loan associations
activities"

"Florida is coming back and

mayor, seated in his reception
room at the Mayflower Hotel.
Over 6 feet tall, true South
ern gentleman, with an engaging
and friendly smile, energy in
every movement, alert, soft
spoken yet with utmost conf
dence in his manner, he would
convince the most pessimistic
person Florida is rapidly retrac-

permanent prosperity than it has
experienced.
Mayor Sewell occupies a very
prominent and unique position in
the business world of Miami.
Realizing the necessity of placing
before the world the exclusive
advantages of his home town
and surrounding territory, Sc
well was advocating necessity of

by the city, business firms and

overwhelming majority, he at

Painted Walls Called Best
For Home or Factory
SSSSSSSDSSSSSSBSSSSSS8s 88E8ss;sSSSs18

Painted walls and ceilings
combine beauty, economy and
sanitation, and paint on plastered
surfaces is now considered the
most satisfactory type of wall
treatment for office, home or
factory.
After an exhaustive study Of
proper preparation of wall sur
faces, the Bureau of Standards
has just completed report de-
signed to forestall unsatisfactory
results when paint is applied to
plaster.
Discussing the occasional flax
ing of oil paint from plaster, the
Bureau says that plaster should
be neutralized, because of the
presence of free lime, and should
be thoroughly dried before the
application of oil paint. The
report adds:
"Water coming through plaS-
ter, is more destructive to oil
paint than water coming
through wood, since a certain
amount of hydrated lime is al
ways present in plaster. This
makes the water alkaline, water
tends to destroy (SpOnify) the
oil in a paint film"
Plaster, should be allowed to
dry for along time-even under
favorable weather condition
before ordinary oil paints are
applied. The demand of owner
or builder for haste sometimes
results in paint being applied
to plaster that is still wet.
eff heavy paint cOatings are
to be applied, the plaster should
be thoroughly dry. The surface
should then be slightly rough
ened by Sandpapering. Dust

A large house occupying a small
plot of ground, if painted a dark

AS general rule, light and bright

the opposite effect and tend to de-

Check on Rapid Rise
OF Home Cost UrQed

Importance at this time of
checking any too rapid rise of
home building costs, in order
that such costs do not increase
beyond the capacity of families
to purchase their homes, is
urged by the code committee of
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards.
Threat Of increased costs has
apparently put a damper on the
hopeful increase in residential
building which had begun to be
observed in July and early Aug
ust. Any too sharp increase in
costs would prevent new home
building for a considerable time,
the committee points out.

After this is dry. use a first

siderable boiled oil. Apply only
enough coats to give the desired

All the mystery, intriguing beau

The Editor,
The Key West Citizen,
Key West, Fla.
Dear Sir:
Would you be so kind as to ex-
tend to us the columns of your
valuable newspaper in order that
We may present to the citizenry of
Key West vital issue.
For the past two summers the
265th Regiment of Coast Artillery,
Florida National Guard, has held
its annual encampment in our city.
We hardly think it necessary to
remind the citizens of Key West
the value and benefit to them of
this efcampment. However, we
do feel that we should call to their
attention the fact that the estab-
lishment of this annual eneamp-
fnent was the direct result of UNI
selfish action on the part of the
officers and enlisted men of Bat
terry e of this Regiment, your
local home town Battery. Real
izing the Importance of the an
nual encampment to our city, the
officers and enlisted men of your
local Battery were willing to
sacrifice their trip to an annual
encampment elsewhere in order
that the 265th Regiment of the
Coast Artillery, Florida National
Guard, could be brought here.
The Battery fund is the source
from which are purchased the
necessary materials or supplies
which help make camp life more
enjoyable for the enlisted person.
mel of the Battery. Neither the
federal government nor the state
of Florida contribute in any man
ner toward this Battery fund.
The result is that this fund must
be accumulated by contributions
from entertainments and from
similar sources. Your local Bat
terry is endeavoring 90 accumulate
portion of its Battery fund by
means of public dance 10 be
held at Coral Isle Casino on the
evening Of Saturday, January %.
The men are not asking for con-
trIhutions but they are requesting
each public spirited citizen of Key
West tn purchase at least one 75c
ticket which represents the price
of admission to this dance.
Other cities in Florida, which
are in no better financial condi-
ton than Key West, have seen fit
to help their local units of the
Florida National Guard by direct
contribution. We do not expect
in these depressed conditions any
contributions from the city, but
again we ask each citizen to pur-
chase a ticket to this dance and
help most worthy cause.
Respectfully submitted,
