Whatever PRICE.
YOU PAY, HOMES
BETTER TODAY
You Get More Than
You Did in 1927
BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

Anybody who says homes cost
more today" doesn't know the
facts.
Have you ever considered the
difference between what $4,000
would buy in 1927 and what the
same amount will buy today?
The same goes for $500 and
$4,000 and $4,000.
There is as much difference be-
tween a $4,000 home of 1927 and
q $4,000 home of 1887 as there is
between automobiles built in those
years.
The modern car contains better
engineering, more safety, greater
beauty and higher efficiency, to-
gether with luxuries and new
equipment unknown a decade ago.
AIR-CONDITIONED
Precisely the same adjectives.
and a few extra, may be applied
to the modern home, as eXempIl-
fled in recent offerings OF builders
in Washington
In 1927. air.conditioning was
principally limited to theaters.
Nowadays aforementioned h T.,
providing healthful, washed air
and humidity winter and summer
is being introduced into $4,000
residences.
other points of divergency:
/. Basic construction materials
are improved. Steel and copper
are being used more. Tiles, pipes
and even bricks are better.
2. Types of materials found
only in mansions in 1927 is now
standard in low.priced cottages.
Various sorts of instantaneous
stantly being made more perfect
are but one example.
INSULATION BETTER
3, Equipment is infinitely more
efficient and labor,saving. What
$4,000 house 10 years ago had
thermostatic heat controls or coal
stokers or automatic heaters OF
adjustable showerheads or the
beautiful bathroom fixtures OF
this year?
4. Automatic refrigeration is
found today in every new home.
In 1927, it was seldom standard
equipment in $4,000 homes.
5. Little touches, seldom used
before, point to the superiority OF
the up.to-date home. How about
recessed radiation, recreation
rooms, steel easement windows,
extra baths?

married women's bowling league of the Community House next Thurs day night because the Novena of Grace in honor of St. Francis Xavier will be in progress at St.. Francis Xavier's church.
 Scores of last nights games were: Naples 3, Hemlocks o; Films 3, Spruces O; Cedars 3, Oaks 0; Pines 2, Birches 1.
 Basketball
 Most crucial of the two games to be played at the Community House tonight Is that between the Com munity club and the Wellea A. c. Both arc tied for first place in the league, and loss is almost certain to eliminate team from chance at the championship. The Reymond Hillies, who last night clincbed q disputed claim to the city junior championship by taking over the West Side Speedboys, will be seen in action against the Hill Juniors. A loss for the Hillies would put them out of the second round race, and cause another furore of claims for the city championship. This game will get underway at o'clock with Joe Wall officiating.
 Games in the midget league will be played Tuesday night of next week. Beginning at 2 o'clock the schedule has been released as fol- lows: Flashy vs Lavals; Endies vs. Washington Hill Midgets; Falcon Jrs. vs. E. E. Aces; Maidens vs. Mill Plain.

Mrs. Bland Claims Mir. Bowen Delights in Bang
 ing Ceiling at Night

Some oil was poured on the trou- bled waters of Pearl street in an hila- rious hearing before Judge John r. McGrath in city court today.
 Philip Bowen, 43, of g Pearl street, a colored man, was charged with breach of the peace, the com plaintant being Mrs. Ethel Bland, also colored, who lives upstairs. Mrs. Bland recited with great indigna- tion lengthy list of grievances against MT. Bowen.
 MT. Bowen, she said, takes delight in banging the ceiling in the middle of the night. A few nights ago, she said, MT. Bowen annoyed guests at a party at her home by repeating after them whatever they were say- ing, shouting from his downstairs tenement. She went down to re- monstrate, said Mrs. Bland, and MT. Bowen threatened her with a gun. Defending himself, MT. Bowen said he had no gun and had never had a gun. Furthermore, he said, Mrs. Bland disturbed his slumbers each night by throwing heavy ob- jects on the floor, usually at 3 or o'clock in the morning.
 After warning both neighbors to , keep the peace, Judge McGrath con- tinued Bowen's case for three months.

to each foot and he is rather spotted.
These are unusual points of identif1ca-

He is rather long legged fellow

patches of color vary considerably with

ground color is yellowish- and
the marks have no special place on the
coat, as if they were an after-thought
and thrown in for effect, much like
the hyena's color pattern.

CHAPTER Is

JOEL WAS beginning to get
anxious. His contract was up and
the studio officials hadn't said any
thing about picking up the option.
Meanwhile he was still working on
the picture Husband Hunter" with
Tania Jarrett.
Janet was anxious, too, but she
would not let Joel know that. She
had been anxious ever since the
day that Vernon Chester had been
TO their home nearly three weeks
before. She hadn't told Joel about
1T. She hadn't even told him that
jshe had lunched with the director
lat the TENNIS club.
There was no more tennis with
tChester. He was working now. as
Sembling his cast d working on
the script for the ambitious picture
and Janet had no way Of knowing
what had been in his mind after
lie had left the house that day.
She could only hope that he
would not hold it against Joel that
Ishe had been overly ambitious for
Thin. She vowed that she would
never do that again.
Yet with the vow fresh in her
mind, she called Laura Crowell and
asked her to lunch with her. Laura
was the private secretary Of Max
browne, a powerful agent. Laura
always knew what was going on
and Janet had her little way of
drawing it out.
do you think Joel should have
an agent ?" Janet asked Laura.
Laura thought it over before she
answered, Eyes and no, Jan. If he
were big enough to have worth
while agent, his agent could do a
lot for him, but Joel hasn't dis
tinguished himself" felt her
ears burn but she held her tongue.
1t wouldn't have done any good to
point out to Laura that in six
months a young actor wasn't like
1y to get much Of chance-"but
when he does, probably could get
Max interested in him. OF course,
today, Max can't afford to handle
anything but the big stars. He
has so many of them"
Right then and there Janet de-
cided that some day Max Browne
would want Joel.
She didn't know how soon it was
TO come.
The very day after that lunch
con, Joel telephoned her from the
studio. Come down at once, dar-
img," he said. Something pretty
important has come up and I want
YOU to be here.
The excitement in Joeps voice
was azhappy excitement.
Janet dressed very carefully in
the little black thin wool suit that
