home becomes Q distant dream The student uses 1t more or less as supply house, and to add to his problem, for 1t Is not his fault he becomes greater figure of promi- hence in the family. This would not matter, If he were not already at Q disadvantage in his school life.
 Individuality Goes Uncurbed
 And this is the crux of the mat ter. In most curricula there ia nothing to substitute for his erst- while responsibility to the family. He was individual there only to the point that would not interfere with the happiness of his people. He had home duties. He had to do his share of work. He made way for mother, father, sister and brother as much as they made way for him. Tn col- lege he has his groups, but seldom do they interfere with his comfort or pleasure. He is individual. And college stresses his importance and his Independence. All education to- day tends toward this god of indi- vidualisn, and 1t is pernicious in many cases.
 It does not prepare for marriage or the sacrifice of any happy home life. Read into 1t many things have no room for here. Once out of school the student Is prone to ex- tend his own personality to the un- doing of his own happiness. Girls especially, except for career courses in home economics, are seldom pre- pared for the cooperation of mar riage.
 Interest In domesticity Is lost, and divorce is too easy an answer. What Is Q career to home? What are lib- eral arts to home? Tines questions should be openly discussed and aIl- swered by our schools.

 New York, Nov. 6 - If a single top hat were dented or a single orchid were crushed in the recent avalanche of falling stock prices, t those casualties weren't apparent W h e n New York society gathered to open it's winter season in the glamorous setting of the National Horse Show.
 There it was again-all the old but ever-new pa- geantry of bob-tails and tail-coats, the grooms and the groomed, diamonds and derbies, sables and saddles with top-rank socialites turned out to admire the best horse-fesh in all the world, and one another, un- der the blazing lights of Madison Square Garden.

 If the condition is diagnosed in time and the patient made to take enough vitamin B in one form or another, life may still be saved and even complete recovery may occur. But the vitamin B treatment does not, 50 far as I know cure the drink habit.
 Now I would add that in my own opinion merely, people who regularly enjoy an adequate daily intake of vitamins (particularly B, o, D and O, either in natural food or as a supplement to the daily diet, are less likely to have 8 craving for alcohol.

SMALLER HOMES
STILL SET PACE
More 0ne-Fami|y Houses
Built Now Than Formerly,
Figures Show.

People who build one-family homes
are staying in the home construction
market much more doggedly than the
apartment builders, an analysis by the
Home Building and Home Owning
Committee of the United States
Building and Loan League reveals.
The story of 1887 building shows that
the last part of the summer witnessed
only an 85 per cent decrease in the
average number of permits per month
for single houses when compared with
the first half of the year, while multi
family dwellings were 53.6 per cent
off.
Figures used in the analysis are
from the Bureau Of Labor Statistics
and cover some l,500 cities in the
United States, the league committee
explained. Permits for two-family
homes fell off at the start of the build
ing slump more conspicuously than
for one-family homes, but not half so
much as for apartment building. Dur
ing July and August, only 20 per
cent fewer two-family homes per
4iOileii NSlS Uullt llldu III Ille pre-
ceding half year.
National Dimensions.
Since the savings, building and loan
associations are largely occupied in
the financing of one and two-family
buildings, their league committee
made the survey to size up the ma
tpnal dimensions of the slump in
their particular field as compared
with total residential building. Clar-
ence T. Rice, Kansas City, Kans.,
chairman of the committee, said that
comparisons with last years building
activity also show the ne-family home
continuing to figure much more PROM
inently than the multi-family build
ing, after the downward turn was
evident.
In July there were 77.8 per cent
fewer apartment units built than for
the same month the previous year and

RECESSION WIPES OUT
HUGE EARLY 1887 LEAD
Apartment and Stores Costing
$4,000 Are Largest New
Project Approved. ~

Private building in Washington, fol-
lowing an upturn at the end of No.
vember, fell back to low figures during
the last week as the Office Of Building
Inspector John W. Oehmann issued
permits for new construction projects
with total valuation of Sl77,016.
Unless there is sharp improve
ment in building toward the end Of
December it is held doubtful if the
1897 building valuation total in the
District will quite reach the figure for
1886. The total for II months this
year is more than $1,000,O0O short
OF the valuation for all of last year.
In the early months of the year build
ing piled up huge lead over 1886
figures, but this has been gradually
dissipated by the recession of the last
six months.
Fifteen one-family dwellings and
two small apartments were included
IN the list of permits for the last week.
There were no large projects approved
by the building inspector. In all there
were 81 permits issued in the week,
but majority Of these were for small
repair jobs.
Largest permit of the week was
issued to Kogod & Deckelbaum, 1915

stores at 1885 Trinidad avenue NE.
