OLD, BUT TRUE

A subscriber sends in the follow
ing poem as a hint to those people
who are always taking the joy out OF
life by trying to live on diet:
Methuselah ate what he found on his
plate.
And never, as people do now,
Did he note the amount or calories
count;
He ate because it was chow.
He wasn't disturbed as at dinner he
sat
Destroying a roast or a pie,
To think 1t was lacking in granular
fat.
Or a couple of vitamins shy.
He cheerfully chewed every species
of food,
Untroubled by worries or fears
Lest his health might be hurt by a
fancy dessert,
And he lived over nine hundred years!

LOAN ASSOCIATION
BUILDING TO 0PEr

pletes Quarters at $500 Wis

With completion of its new building
at $3.50 Wisconsin avenue, just north
of Bradley lane, the Chevy Chase
Building g. Loan Association will oc-
cupy the premises Monday.
A special meeting OF the board of di-
rectors will be held Monday evening
at BIS O'Clock to officially receive the
keys to the building from Allen C.
Minnix, builder. and e. Burton Corn
ing, architect. Representatives of the
Maryland League of Building Associa-
tions and of the United States Build
ing and Loan League will be present, as
will representatives of the Federal
Home Loan Bank. Other prominent
local and Montgomery County building
and loan men have also been invited
for the occasion.
The building is a faithful represen-
tation of-early American architecture,
combining quaint, appealing beauty
with utility. The exterior is of brick
painted pure white with rough tex
ture slate roof broken by three dor
mers. The same Colonial spirit is
maintained in the interior by the
use of knotty white pine vertical
boarding on all walls The lobby has
a wood-burning fireplace with simple
wood mantle
In general the building has been
planned to reflect the nature of the
business which it houses-that of home
loan financing and saving for home
ownersh.p-and the emphasis is
therefore domestic rather than COM
mercial A distinct residential atmos-
phere is created by locating the build
ing in the center of 50-foot lot
detached from its surroundings and

building line. thereby providing for an
informal garden in the front, sur

BY JAMES WALDO FAwCETT.

David Lynn, architect-of the Capitol,
recently celebrated, in his Characters
tically quiet and unpretending way, the
tenth anniversary of his induction into
Office, and the occasion prompts review
of the careers of the six men who were
his predecessors in the development of
the meeting place of the National Leg
islature and its environment on Capitol
Hill
The first name on the list is that Of
Dr. William Thornton Q762-1828), a
native of Tortola, in the West Indies,
who was educated as physician and
resided for many years in Philadelphia,
where he acquired celebrity for his SCI
entific attainments and his sympathetic
appreciation of the arts. His design
for the Philadelphia Library building
prompted his appointment to plan the
new shelter of the legislative branch Of
the Government in the District of Co
lumbia, and he removed to Washington
to supervise the beginning Of construc-
ton. Washington and Jefferson were his
friends, and under their patronage he
developed the architectural style for the
Capitol which constitutes the tradition
followed ever since. Not much Of the

SMALL RESIDENCES
TO LEAD UPTREND
Building and Loan Committee
Foresees Market Demand
Over Nation.

The small one-family home will lead
the entire real estate market in the
upward price trend due early in the
coming year, according to a report
made public in Chicago today by the
Home building and me-owning Com
mittee of the United States Building
and Loan League.
The prediction rests on the growing
demand for homes of this type and on
three factors which point toward a
steady increase in this demand
l. Improved employment among the
working classes and low-salaried white
collar groups. makes the purchase of
a small hcme desirable again for q
large number of people.
2. Probability that more mortgage
money for small homes will shortly be
available to make this demand ef
fective
g. With such a demand operating,
the fact that the lumber price index
has risen from 566 per cent in Novem-
ber. 1882. to 842 per cent in November,
1888, and other building materials are
also rising in price. will turn the home
seeker to existing properties because
they cost less than new ones. The
absorption of the existing homes by
this new demand will drive their prices
up higher
T. Friedlander of Houston, Tex. chair
man of the league committee, says
that the report was issued as much
for the benefit of i1ome-owners and
would-be home-owners as for the
building and loan association execu-
tive.
Opportunity to Buy.
'"The man who owns or wants to buy
should realize the prospects ahead of
the small residential property" he said
THE family which wants a home
should sieze the opportunity to buy
before the cost of existing houses rises
with the cost of replacement materials,
and those who own homes should see
that they have prime investment. 1t
of the United States to raise prices to
their 1926 level"
The report declares that lumber, the
material used most in the small home,
as contrasted to the brick, cement and
structural steel used in expensive
homes and in practically all apart
ments, has taken the most spectacular
rise of any of the building materials
during the IL months ended Novem-
Der l.
"A 81, 600 quantity of lumber last year
would cost about 81 ,558 this year. This
is more than so per cent rise in the
actual price. The increase il cost of
other building materials, while 1t is
steady for the most part, has been far
slower. The quantity of brick and tile
which you could buy for $1,000 last
year would cost $1,110, according to
this years index. Cement, which en-
ters largely into the composition OF
stucco houses and similar structures,
would cost 81 ,153 this year for the same
quantity costing 81 900 last year. Struc-
tural steel would today cost $1.062 for
last years 81 1000 quantity. Thus it is
apparent that the rise in building ma
terials is general, but lumber is far out
ahead Since the price which any ex-
isting property will bring is materially
Influenced by the replacement cost, all
of the small houses built of lumber will
have a much larger value in the pur-
chaser's eyes than before. The present
