Reel Estate Is
 Good Investment

Because of its very nature real estate presents one of the most stable and basic securities for 1n- vestment of trust funds" is this writer's opinion. Good real eStat te does not lose its value, although It may not at times be marketable. The past has disclosed O gradual upward trend in real estate values over . long period of years and mortgage loans are essentially long term investment. Life insurance companies, whose Investments in mortgages now exceed four billion dollars. will continue to assist in financing the farmer. the home owner, and the purchaser of income producing property"
 Any program for banishing. as far as may be, the dreaded periods of boom and depression must come from the composite minds of leaders in the field of real estate, and 1t would have to be founded essentially upon education, upon a general thorough understanding of real es- tate factors, I think. T am con- vinced that the same minds and wills that developed, worked for and finally brought about the move- ment for sounder appraising, pro- gressive management practice, and accurate real estate accounting methods can and will at least par- tially solve real estates greatest problem"

E. C. Barber Active
 In Real Estate

One of the most active and ag- greSSive real estate agencies in Western Connecticut is headed by Miss Edna c. Barber of Woodbury. The agency which is named after Miss Barber is known throughout the Western part of the state where it has the confidence of people who are anxious to sell or buy their home, and of the farmers who are looking for newer farms or who want their present farm disposed of.
 Perhaps in no other part of the state is there 8 real estate agency which handles real estate property over SO large an area of land.
 Miss Barber is well known for her honesty and her fine reputation as any of her many clients will testi- fy. She is perhaps the busiest wo- man in the real estate business in Connecticut.
 While the Barber agency handles all kinds of real estate, including homes, home sites, farms, etc., a great deal of their business is in Woodbury. Miss Barber states that Woodbury is one of the finest towns in Connecticut to live in. The tax rate in Woodbury, she points out, is reasonable, the living conditions the conveniences found in the town make it one of the best in the state Woodbury, she said, is an ideal place for persons working in Waterbury to live, the ride from Waterbury to Woodbury is a very short one and a very beautiful one.
 Persons who are now seeking to buy home or a home site in vest ern Connecticut will do well to con- suit Miss Barber. Persons who might want to buy or sell 8 farm regardless of where 1t might be To- cated in the western. part of Conn ecticut should also consult Miss Bar Der. She has listed nearly all oi the desirable property in that part of Connecticut.

Moy Pass Low To
 License All Agencies

Considerable pressure has beer brought to bear at the last few sessions of the Connecticut general assembly asking that body to enact a law which would compel all real estate agencies in this statt to se- cure a license before selling real estate property in this state.
 Such measures have been passed in a number of states throughout the country. A similar law was passed by Congress affecting the District of Columbia, the president a few weeks ago signed the measure and 1t is now impossible for any real estate agency to operate in the Dis tri,t of Columbia unless they are licalsed to sell real estate.
 This writer is very much in favor of the passage of such legislation by the Connecticut general assem- bly,. Such a measure if enacted, will put an end to many real estate agencies that are interested only in engiching their own pockets with nc regard or feeling toward the genera public. Such agencies have beer described to this writer as Curb stone agencies, here today "ane gone tomorrow.
 This writer predicts that the ses' sion of 1889 will put an end to the urdesirables that today are engaged in the real estate business by enact ing a law compelling all persons arle agencies selling, renting or raanag- ing real estate property in the state of Connecticut to secure license first from the state.

August Building
 Is $285,l04,l0o

The August record of total con- struction in the 37 eastern states amounted to $285, ,104, 100, as report ed by r. w. Dodge Corporation. The contract volume compares with $275, ,28l 400 for August of last year, and with $s2l,eo2,7Oo for July of this year. ..,.. g.
 Of the August 1897 volume $7S,- AS, 300 represented residential build- ing. $l17,209,800 non - residential building and $e4,446,000 was for pub. lie works and utilities.
 Commenting about the August construction total, MT. T. 8. Holden vice-president of F. w. Corporation stated that: Approximately two- thirds of the July to August decline in contracts was due to decrease in the amount of publicly -flnanced work. In addition, there occurred, also,, a drop of more than S0,O0o, 900 in the tot alfor unusually large proJ- ects, jobs costing a million dollars and over and which happened to start duf1nS July rat1er u1Au ouI AIS August. Tn spite of these two ad- verse influences, the August total represented 6 gain Of per cent oyer last year and a decline of less than Il per cent from July of this year.
 Disappointment in the August residential building total is not so great as would be indicated by the contract figures. Admittedly, rest. dential contracts fell below the total for the corresponding month of the previous year for the first time dur ing the recovery period, but the August, 1886, record was inflated oy public housing amounting to almost S32,0oo,000. Tn the current months record there was included less than 100000 of public housing. Conse- uuently, private residential building shows a 6 per cent gain over August of last year."

First FederoI Loan
 Reports Increase

The first Federal Savings and Loan Association of Waterbury is located at 129 West Main street and is doing one of the most thriving businesses of its kind in this part of Connecticut.
 The organization is @ mutual financial institution and was organ ized to encourage thrift in home ownership.
 While 1t is owned by Waterbury people 1t operates under the Federal charter and strict Federal super vision and regulation.
 Many people wonder if an inves- tor can have his money if he needs 1t, and the answer is: Although the accounts in the First Federal are designed primarily for long term savings provision is made in the charter and by laws of the organ ization for withdrawal of funds, in whole or in part.
 Further services which the organ ization furnishes are: arranging an appraisal for a lot and the plans for @ house following which the First Federal can tell the owner how much money he can borrow on his property just as if the home were completed.
 The list of the officers of the or- ganization are: Walter H. Deacon president; William H. Jones, vice. president; Harold w. Smith, sec- retary-treasurer.

FILA Drive Is Modo
 On Home Design

Washington, Sept. S.-(speciaD A major offensive on the tvadi- tional poor design, ill-conceived plan and bad construction of the small home, has just been concluded by the Federal Housing Administration, 1t was announced here today, aS the first series of 9 small home plano ming conferences came to an end.
 The conferences, conducted in as many cities, were directed by How ard Leland Smith, chief of the FFIAs Architectural Section. for the purpose of improving design, plan and construction and thus elevating the standard of the one class of cor1- struction that has suffered most from these three building evils. More than 5000 builders, bankers and real estate dealers have par- ticipated in these conferences, bringing into the small home tIn- provement campaign the groups most interested in dwelling con- struction.
 Tt has been common practice for years" MT. Smith said, ito build small homes without the aid or ser- vices of competent architects. The results have been far less than sat- isfactory from the viewpoint of the mortgage lending agency and ulti- mately the home buyer himself. Bad design, unfortunately, has free quently been Q characteristic of the single family dwelling"
 Each small home planning confer ence consists of two addresses and an open forum. Those attending hear discussion of the potential market for small homes in the par ticular locality and an outline ot principles to be followed in the plan- ming of small homes. Talk charts and material taken from FILA Tech- nical Bulletin No. 4 Principles of Planning Small Houses,"- together with photographs and cost break downs of houses constructed in ac- cordance with information included in the bulletin are utilized during the conferences.

RevoIuotion of Prop
 erty Suggested

Speaking of Waterbury real estate this writer s of the opinion that all real estate property in this city should be revalued. It has been many years since such action was taken and at that time prices were sky high. Today business conditions are entirely different than they were in 1929 when the revaluations were made,

:, trinkets for sale. At that moment, too, Stuart Blake rode into the Lodge grounds. He saw the girls and galloped over.
 Ignoring the Indians, he kissed his sister and greeted Carolee, and told them the sheriff had found nothing of importance in the mountain. He wanted Carolee to feel he was sympathetic about her brother, anxious to help her in any way.
 Bracelet red like coat" a squaw interrupted, holding out a wristlet of beads.
 Stuart muttered something iln- patiently, then laughed and bought Carolee the trinket, and another for Nina, too.
 The wrinkled squaw said, re- plying to Carolee's question, that two days were required to make the intricate beading.
 "It is beautiful" declared Stu art, admiring Carolee as she put 1t on, land 1t does match your jacket. Say, I never saw this red jacket beforel"
 Carolee smiled at him kindly. Irrelevantly, perhaps, Nina began humming.

but her frankness was embarrass- ing.
 Docs he find things often, Nina?" Carolee was a trifle spunky about it.
 "YeS, of course. He has, I mean. The handsome mug is always pop ular. Once he thought himself in love. He has rushed debutantes until they almost purchased trous- seaus."
 Carolee colored at that. She had just purchased clothes herself = admittedly with the thought of pleasing Stuart Blake.
 Does he say he has found me, Nina? He hasn't mentioned that fact to me, and if he has any idea he can"
 No no, honey, stop it!" Nina laughed gaily. "The boys jittery about you, tell you, and doesn't know how to act. He lost his bal- ance that day in the store, when you first met, I'm just trying to say you can wrap him up and take him home whenever you get ready-although I don't know why you should. He is good looking and geenrous, but he isn't worth killing otherwise. Why you or any othe rgirl would tolerate him seri. ously is beyond me-"
 Carolee wasn't used to such persiflage, yet 1t didn't seem for eign to Nina. Nina slept & few hours in each 24 and bubbled through the remainder. You couldn't be interpretive or serious around her. But Carolee felt con- fidential; she had a Secret with & capital s, and it had to be told.
 She led the other girl out among the mesquite and cacti near the Lodge and told Nina all about the gold, They had such talk and in- timacy as only girls can have; it satisfied a longing in Carolee that had been keener than she realized Nina, she decided was a peach! In spite of her background of wealth.
 Suddenly Nina turned to her without laughing. and looked straight into Carolee's eyes.
 You're in love with brother aren't you?" she stated, rathe, than asked 1t, She had her arm around Carolee.
 "Um huhm," Carolee admitted gently, seriously.
 But there are families" Nina went on, "and backgrounds, and oh, clothes, and money, and prejudices, and all that sort of thing in the world. Stuart has talked to me about them. It's not my business, Carolee, but If I ever decide to want to marry 6 man, heaven help him! I don't care If he's king of England or @ janitor's helper. I'll go after him with all I've got, think that's where happiness lies, and I think happi- ness Is just that important!"
 Carolee nodded. T believe you would, Nina" she said, softly, and believe you're right"

A ROMAN temple of Venus { \ stood where now rise the twin towers of the famous cathedral at Speyer. Germany, Built in 1927 by Conrad II, this magnifi. cent edifice became the resting place for the bodies of the great German emperors.
 But in 1889, the French under Louis XIV entered Speyer, burned and pillaged the city and left a ruined cathedral. Since the in- vaders had promised to spare this structure, the inhabitants placed all their valuabies in it's vaults. But dre was set to the building, its graves were plundered, the bones of the buried rulers scat. tered, and the belongings entrust. ed to its walls taken away.
 Emperor Charles VI, later, had some of the scattered bones rein. tered, but their identity now is unknown. The cathedral was re. built and today is one of Ger. many's chief tourist attractions. The structure is shown on a stamp issued by Germany m 1925

CHAPTER XV

The few rocks that Paul Colter had clutched in death, and the others that Carolee had found in the cave proved to be as exciting to the assayer as to the Golfers Themselves.
 "This stuffll go thousands of dollars ton, manl" they told MT, Colter in the Golden West Assay Offlce at Phoenix "Where'd you get itP"
 T got 1t staked in Superstition, " he replied. But this is all I could find" He didn't mention his sons death, but he did explain about the cave.
 "oh, that's different, then" They were let down somewhat. ''You just found a dribble. Some of that stuff old Spaniards left up here. Old Miguel Peraltas crew. He worked Superstition, They'd pick up just the best ore to pack back down to Sonora. It was 300-odd miles. They wouldn't carry no more dirt than necessary. They'd store their choicest pickins in a cave like that'n until they got enough to load their mules, then they'd high-tail on back home with 1t. Likely you found some they put in there and over- looked. It's been done before, Down where they worked the Vir- gin of Guadalupe Mine, near Tu- bac, they done that same thing We've found their leavings"
 old man Golfer worked his quid of tobacco several seconds be- fore he spoke again. He was req sontng, sensibly, that if the Span- 1ards found nuggets of such value in Superstition, there must still be an extremely rich mine near the cave. He was anxious to get back and hunt some more.
 "Whut's these worth, as is?" He pointed to the bag of speci- Eenens.
 He sold them eventually for R400 cash.
 "That's more cash than we've bIaad in 10 years" he confessed to his children, there on the Phoenix street.
 They set out to spend part of .At. Carolee. having found most of .khe gold, took charge. She pur- chased some essentials and a few l krills for her mother. She ordered ! Q simple marker, at $35, for Paul'S grave. She replenished their gro- cery supply.
 At last, she went back to the clothing store she had left and bought herself a new riding outfit It wasn't too expensive, but 1t was Snice." She added two new blouses nolored scarves, and a sport hat of felt. She looked longingly at a rack of blazer jackets. Handmade of yarn by Indians, one was bright red with Indian symbols woven in 1t of blue and black and gray. She had ob- served that these were not only Fashionable in Arizona but highly practical for the outdoors, and she had a sentimental leaning toward anything western and Indian any . way. The red one cost $l2,50 and she bought 1t.
 
 To come to town, the Golfers had Htaked their saddle horses at the foot of the trail where their old car < was kept back in the bushes, and nnotored in from there. Returning they agreed to go by the Lodge to see if the sheriff had, by chance, found anything that might throw light on the death of Paul.
 "stuart is out shooting at tar- gets, my dear" Ninan Blake greeted Carolee. My but you're lovely! Are you always so fair? You're khe prettiest thing Stuart's ever koundl"
