money. No, Snout-I can't see things
your way. and if you can't see them
mine, I'm AFRAID" declared old
grayface Mr.. Greysbeak-
II see things your way" Eddie
blubbered and turned to go.
"SNOUT-its your name. How can
man with a name like yours
expect to 60 places. eh? Answer me
that?" and Mr.. Greysbeak laughed
For it was just about this time he
was getting married to a woman much
younger than himself. Eddie slid
away.
There was another unforgettable
moment in Eddie's life. Just before
Mr. Greysbeak had died, a year be-
fore. Eddie had been advised that the
Greysbeak Boiler Supply Co. no long
er needed his services. that they were
going to take younger man. 1t was
Eddie'S first realization that he was
old. Here he was. at 46, with all life
passed by-and old!
Eddie was particularly careful about
his sartorial appearance when he went
to visit Mrs. Greysbeak. The butler
ushered him into the drawing room,
where Mrs. GreySbeak awaited him
She was jolly woman and Eddie
kept thinking of one funny thing
after another to say to her. 1t was
evident that Mrs. Greysbeak greatly
enjoyed his visit. She invited him to
come again.
Eddie did-many times. They were
standing out in the garden one Sum-
mer evening and Eddie for once in
his life threw discretion to the winds.
He took Mrs. Greysbeak, or as much
Of her as he could. boldly In his arms,
kissed her and in his squeaky voice
pronounced the three magic words.
At first Mrs. Greysbeak hesitated,
a little frightened, but Eddie, en-
boldened, carried his point. And then
Eddie waited until after they were
married-juSt one hour after, in fact.
Now. Mrs. Snout," said Eddie, "for
you're Mrs. Snout now-and how do
you like the name?"
Il like it." said Mrs. Snout.
I'm glad you do" said Eddie, be
cause we're going to change the name
of the business your husband left you
from the Greysbeak Boiler Co. to the
Snout Boiler Supply Co. at once"

from 80 States, the District, Canada
and Hawaii were in attendance. Dele
gates brought word of optimism and
encouragement in regard to the future
Of the building business from all Sec
tions of the country. The consensus
was that the depression has been
broken, and that new construction Is
on the increase nationally. There is
a general shortage Of residential space,
and most realtors predicted that the
next two years will witness return
to normal construction and real estate
activities.

Now do you feel better?" she asked.

and fingers Eddie looked at her ner-
vously.
People are so careless. The man
next to me showed me right against
you. That's the way people are. My
poor husband wasn't like that. Poor
soul, when he was living he was so
considerate Of everybody. He bought
me everything I asked for" Mrs.

to have a wife like you" said Eddie,

glad to buy things for you. 1t is my
misfortune never to have married.

How about tomorrow" Eddie asked.
"Oh, tomorrow was going out
but it's all right! You may come over
tomorrow. I'll be expecting you at 8

herself off the fountain stool and with

Prince Georges Survey Es-
peciaIIy Optimistic Con-
cerning Small Units.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

Sy staff Correspondent Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, October
26.-A cross section survey of Prince
Georges County real estate men indi-
Gates the prevalence of an optimistic
outlook toward a continued upswing
in home purchases and home building.
The opinion of a marjority of the
operators. it was revealed today,
seems to bear out earlier forecasts Of
an unprecedented boom, especially in
small units and homes for families Of
moderate means.
While building records this year
call for more construction than any
like period in years, contributing
factor to the expectation of still great
er construction seems to lie in the
plans of the Federal Government to
sponsor low-cost housing projects in
this area.
The fact that the Resettlement Ad-
ministration is building l,000-home
development at Berwin Heights is re-
garded among real estate men as
stimulant to other private building.
Other Signs observed.
Other indications of building are
seen by real estate men who are
studying the possibilities of ad-
vantages to be gained under the Fed
eral housing act. 1t is known that
several likely projects are being tenta-
lively worked out on paper, but
whether they will get to the point of
breaking ground and mixing cement
will depend on other factors yet to
be encountered.
There seems to be a disposition
among some real estate men to
question the advantages of Govern
ment aid in home building and Gov
ernment ownership of housing prof.
ectS. but the survey did not reveal
the extent to which this disposition
has spread among operators.
In pointing to the upswing in Prince
that 276 building permits. calling for
units to house 285 families, were is
sued in the past six months for the
metropolitan area of Prince Georges.
A total of 326 permits were issued,
$50 being for construction in other
sections of the county.
Perry Boswell, one of the real estate
operators included in the survey, in
analyZing the past six months, re-
garded the growth of the county as
being sound and apparently perma-
nent, with speculative buying and
building at reasonably low proper
ton. The percentage of brick homes
Is high and each subdivision has ap-
parently made progress.
Boswell noted a movement away
from the more congeSted areas of
the county, tendency having arisen
to seek more secluded sections.
Several subdivisions Of this type are
being developed. including Home
Acres, a 500-acre tract being divided
into 3-acre lots under restrictions
which include a $4,000 minimum
house construction cost.
This division is one of several in
the University of Maryland and Belts
vile area which are served by elec-
tricity and other modern improve
ments.
Another factor in the upward swing
in Prince Georges, especially in the
metropolitan area of the country, is
the transportation system which pro-
videS facilities for quick committing
to Washington, the survey disclosed.

PUTTY GROWS BRITTLE
IN CONTACT WITH WOOD
Window Frames Should Be Coat
ed With Linseed Oil or Paint
Before Application.

In wood windows. the glass is Sc
cured by small metal triangles driven
into the wood. and putty is used to
make the joint tight. II the putty has
hardened, 1t will crack of and the
window will leak.
Properly applied, putty should last
for long periods. Cracking is often
caued by the application Of the putty
against bare wood, which absorbs the
oil and leaves the putty brittle and
crumbling. Before putty is applied
the wood should be given a coat of
linseed oil or Of thin paint to seal
the pores.
Work the putty in between the
