~ I'VE thought in the course
OF your house planning to the
most neglected, most sighted
of all parts of a house-the
garage. 1t will be a thought we'll di-
rected, for you can have the reward
OF trim, good-looking adjunct to your
home, instead of an unsightly but
necessary storage space for the family
car.
The well-planned garage, and par
tlcularly the Well-dressed one. can add
distinction to, instead of detracting
from the appearance of a house.
A Well-dresSed garage is one with
a modern door. Even if your garage
is OF the detached variety it will seem
less Of blot on the landscape if it
has one of those horizontally paneled
steel roll-up doors we have Just been
investigating. With the majority
OF garages now being built as part of
the house itself, certainly something
better than a glorifled barn door is
required. We venture to say the all

The real purpose of a door is to
Keep out weather and intruders. But
there is no reason why it should not
present clean-cut appearance as
well, no reason except that until now
our best designers did not spend much
time IN considering the problem. They
nave made up for their tardiness in
creating a stunning door, made of five
broad panels, either solid metal or
with three square windows in the next

BUILDING LOANS
GAIN IN JANUARY
SO Per Cent Greater in
Volume Than in Same
Period in 1886.

Starting the year with 10 per cent
more active lending program than
at the beginning of 1895, the savings,
building and loan associations in
January disbursed s73,347,000 IN
home mortgage loans to some 13,70o
borrowers, the United States Building
and Loan League, their national or
ganization reports. Construction loans
were 80 per cent greater In volume
than for the parallel 1895 month and
accounted for 28,9 per cent of total
credit disbursed, az compared with 10
per cent last year.
Morton Bodfish, executive vice presi-
dent Of the league. points out that
loans to finance the purchase Of
existing homes reached a new high
percentage Of the total savings and
loan disbursement for the period since
the depression, being 3l6 per cent,
as compared with 304 per cent in
December and 292 per cent in No
vember. This demand created by an
accelerated turnover in properties is
in line with the general observations
of real estate researchers to the effect
that even the Winter months have
noted a steady progress in the popu-
larity of this type of investment.
Loans to ref1nance existing mort
cages. while still making up nearly
one-fourth Of the lending output of
the month, fell to the lowest point
they have marked since the league
began keeping its loan figures in
October, 1885. They are being re-
placed in the lending program by the
loans for new home building and
buying, the ratios prove conclusively.
The seasonal decline from the De-
cember loan activity amounts to 38
per cent and was felt all along the
line of the various purpo - for which

Brain Twizzlers
BY PROF. J. D. FLINT.

TITLE WILLY had always been
problem child in a way. He
wasn't too mischievous or hard to
handle, but he took interest in doing
things alone and didn't seem to care
about playing games that most chill
dren his age played. One of his
favorlte pastimes was porting over
books and magazines and selecting
words which he liked especially well.
These words he would place together
In sentences and phrases whether they
made any sense or not.
One day Willy sat in his room look
ing at magazine which was de-
voted to gardening of all types After
looking at it for a while he started
to write on a piece of paper. Some
time later his mother entered the
room and looked at the paper. On
1t were several phrases which meant
little or nothing to her They were:
near gum, low life cur, a sugar
sap, hate cork, asp chin, it ram us
nut. Willy volunteered an explaaa-
ton and said that the idea for each
phrase had come from the letters in
the names of things which grew in
gardens. Can you tell what each was?

Chesapeake City Beer Seller

An injunction is sought by John

Mr.. Schaffer holds the law is void
because it is titled as a public local

He charges it is unconstitutional
since it covers more than one subject,
not all of which are described in the

He was advised of the law, Mr..

Roadside Tree Dispute
Settled
Ruling Of Attorney General
Favors State Roads
Commission
Commission

The State Forestry Department
has cancelled all the permits issued
to the State Roads Commission for
authority to cut and trim trees along
the State highways
State Forester F. w. Besley SAID
he yoided the commissions permits
in accordance with the Attorney Cen
erals opinion that the roads BODY
had exclusive jurisdiction" over
trees within it's rights-of-way
Besley wrote DR.. H. E. Tabler,
chairman of the commission, that the
ruling removes from this depart
ment a considerable part of that re-
sponsibility for which the public
must look to the State Roads Com
mission for accountability relative
to treatment of roadside trees"
In settling a controversy between
the two departments over control OF
roadside trees, Herbert R. O'Conor,
Attorney General, ruled the roads
cOnmlSSlOu udu lilC ii6hI " OSSSA
mine what trees, if any, must be re-
moved in the interest of the public
safety"
The roadside-tree law provides
that the Forestry Department should
have jurisdiction over trees along
highways, but, O'Conor said, the law,
as reenacted in 1888, gave the roads
body absolute authority" over its
rights-ofway.
The controversy originated with
the removal of Ill trees along the
Waldorf Hughesville road, Charles
county, to allow for improving and
widening the highway. Besley swore
out six warrants for the cutting OF
the trees, but later withdrew the
charges.
Besley said the opinion left the
Forestry Department in an "awk-
ward position He pointed out that
utility companies may object to being
required to secure permits to clear
away trees from their power lines.
