of it that horrid staring crowd call

New Concord Is little town, not
city. Most of that horrid staring
crowd has known me since was in
short pants. You, too. They were
there to wish US well. In a way it's
tribute. If this were Europe and
you q royal princess they could't have
done more to honor you"
Presently James felt a little gloved
hand fumbling for his James, dear,
you are sweet. And I'm a beast
Please. please, forgive me. I've been
SO upset"
"Of course, you have. And I'm the
beast Do you realize, Mrs. Stimson,
that you've been five minutes alone
with your husband and haven't yet
kissed him?"
Held close in James strong young
arms, Jane stammered out con-
fession. "Oh, James, I thought I
didn't love you. I thought didn't
love you"
Hush. belovedest. Not another
word. Trust your old James to know
all about 1t. We're going to be the

But how do you know? Did you
think you didn't love me? Didn't
you want to be married?".
Confession Is sweet. For moment
James was tempted to admit his doubt
and reluctance of the previous night.
But a saving caution closed his lips.
"I?" He laughed and kissed Jane
again. Didn't you see Bud yank-

aisle after you? I never saw so many
girls in my life. I thought for a mo-

bride and was starting to plunge my
way through and find you"
Love me?" asked Jane.
Love her? Love her? "Oh, my
darling!"
When the bridal carriage drew up
under the porte cochere of the brides
old home, it was noticed by the
crowd of nlookers-chief1y colored-
that the bridegroom waved his hand
condescendingly in greeting to the
Tyler house across the way.
James was telling himself how silly
he had been to feel such a hatred for
a mere pile of bricks and mortar. OF
course, they would live there a year

Scot almost Blocked Deal
Creating National Capital Here

The prospect Of having the White
House as a part of his front yard did
not appeal to David Burnes. Scotch
man. who once owned large portion
of the property that constitutes the
District of Columbia.
But that did not prevent agents
acting for the Federal Government
from buying Burnes' property. even
though it did take a great deal Of
persuasion and manipulating before
the Scot consented to sell.
On January 5, 1871, the first deed
was recorded in the District of Co
lumbia, authorizing the sale of parcels
of Burnes' land The land described
in this deed, which was bought by
Thomas Beale and John Mackall

ARLINGTON HOME
BUILDING BO0MS
Total for Two Weeks in
March Is Above Feb
ruary.
BY TED KELLOGG,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
March 16.-The building boom for
Arlington County, which has been pre-
dicted for several months, is getting
into its stride.
During the first two weeks of March
permits have been issued for more
new construction than during the
entire month of February, which was
considered the best February on
record.
Permits for 33 new homes were
issued through March IS, to be erected
at a total cost of s157,950. In ad-
dition, a permit for a $4,000 apart
ment house was recorded, bringing
the total amount being spent for
residences in the county, as represent
ed by permits granted since January
l. to s395,575. This figure includes
around 80 private residences and three
apartment buildings.
All permits issued thus far in March
represent expenditures of S185,540,
compared with $l75,l25 for the entire
month of February. February, by the
way, outstripped February of 1884
by 500 per cent increase. Permits
in February. 1884. totaled s31 .048.
The $4,000 apartment building will
be erected by Lyon, Inc, at the inter-
section of Virginia avenue and Tay-
lor street in Clarendon.
Building operators and county Off
cials predict that March will eclipse
the biggest monthly total on record
S251 ,7l0-established last October.
The notable feature of the March
figures, it is pointed out, is that no
really large project is included to
boost the total The large figure for
the month so far represents practical
ly all homes.
The only project of any size that Is
not residential is a dairy and COW
barn, to be erected at cost of $1,000
The county building code is being
advertised and it is hoped to have il
in effect by May 1. officials said
Builders and real estate men in the
county predict that, as March eclipses
the largest building month hereto
fore, its figures themselves will be
bettered by the succeeding Spring
and Summer months, as the nearby
Virginia building boom gets under
way.

Need Revealed by Richberg
Plea for Dropping of
Brokers' Code.
HEARING NOT SET
BY HOUSE GROUP.
Sponsors Still Confident of Action
This Session for Measure
Passed by Senate.

The recommendation of Recovery
Administrator Donald r. Richberg
that the code for the real estate brok-
erage industry be dropped from the
code structure in the new N. r. A.
has made even clearer to Washington
realtors the necessity of having the
real estate license bill passed by this
session of Congress.
While the brokerage code was
kicked about in football fashion by
the Recovery Administration and
never reached its full effectiveness. it
nevertheless offered some protection
to members of the industry and to the
public from unscrupulous practices
within the business. However. the
proposed license law with its regula-
tory phases and control commission is
considered a much better means OF
reaching the objective intended for
the code.
License Bill Action.

ator King, chairman of the District
Committee, and carrying the indorse-
ment of the District Commissioners
and other promnent officials as well

.1,14O GIVE PLEDGES
Characterization
1905 Property Owners Are
interviewed in Better
Housing Drive.

Officials of the Washington Better
Housing Campaign announced today
that workers in the campaign to Sc
cure s6,OOO,OOO in property moderni-
zation pledges had obtained l,l4O
pledges from 1905 property owners
interviewed. Due to weather con-
ditionS canvassers worked only two
days during the week.
Joseph Carl Gilchrist. director of
Federal housing activities in the Dis
trict, who is in charge of the drive,
estimated that the pledges would re-
suit in about $685. 000 in moderniza-
ton work, including additions, al
terations and repairs to homes and
commercial properties. Barring more
unfavorable weather Gilchrist said
he anticipates having the campaign
in full swing within the next two
weeks.
100 Workers Engaged.
There are slightly more than 100
workers engaged in the canvass at
the present time, and more will be
added in the near future, Gilchrist
said.
The F. H A official announced, in
connection with another phase of
administration activity-insurance OF
home mortgages - that mortgages
amounting to a total of S33 900 were
approved for insurance by his office
during the week. The six insur-
ance commitments represented by
the figure brought the total applica-
tions approved from Washington tc
So The value of all District mort
cages insured so far is approximately
S336,0OO Only four applications have
been rejected.
In regard to the modernization
campaign, GilchriSt stated that eSti-
mates have been made by builders
and building supply firms on rs con-
tracts uncovered during the canvass
so far. Work has actually been
started on IS jobs which call for ar
estimated expenditure of $4,000.
Campaign Praised.
Meanwhile, the modernization CAM
paign was being praised by various
construction and building supply mer
throughout the city. William H
Smith, president of Consolidated
Construction Co., Inc, who had re.
ceived 80 lead cards from campaign
headquarters, announced that his firm
has actually sold and contracted fol
$2,225 worth of work in three of the
contracts obtained through the card,
turned in by canvassers.
Smith estimated that rs per cent
of the prospects turned over to hin
by campaign headquarters are "abl'
and willing to do work under tht
F. H. A. plan" He said that mos
of the banks are giving good CO.
operation in connection with tn,
modernization loans, although sor-,
of the financial institutions still ar
not prepared to handle them.
Smith urged property owners whc
contemplate carrying out property re-
Mobilization work to do it early" a.

dio audience during the remainder
of the summer months. New pro-
grams, new talent will be added
to the WATR lists as part of this

may be changed a bit here and
there. other highly popular air Of
ferings will continue unchanged.
Especially conducive of high
the summer have been WATR'S
remote control broadcasts. They
have included baseball games, out
ings, a beauty contest, dance music
and a dozen other features. The
dance music from Lakewood park
has been offered regularly twice a
week, with different orchestras
furnishing syncopation; the base
ball games from Hamilton park
have proven an extremely well
liked feature; spot broadcasts have
brought WATR listeners descrip-
tons of outings and other summer
gatherings.
These points but serve to en-
phasize the truth and the appro-
priateness of calling WATR the
Voice of Waterbury" The station
reflects almost every phase of COM
munity life in the city; it covers
the background and foreground of
all the activity in the city.
At 1890 tomorrow morning,
WATR will again bring services
