REALTY MARKET
IN CAPITAL ACTIVE
Housing Expenditures OIL
Past Year Set Record
in D. c. Area.
By CHARLES J. RUSH,

SECRETARY WASn1nEtOn
Real Estate Board.
Activity in the local real estate
market during the past year kept the
National Capital among the leading
cities Of the Nation. No other city
in the population rank of Washington
exceeded this city's record, and If the
developments in the Maryland and
Virginia sections of the metropolitan
area are included new record will
be set for residential activity.
Using the official figures of the Dis
trict and Maryland building inspectors
for the 11-month period. one finds
that more than S27,000,000 will have
been expended for housing. There
have been 1859 single-family dwell
ines authorized at a cost of $1l,72l,-
600, and sol multi-family structures,
housing 1853 families, at a cost Of
$e.o70,1o0 in the District of Columbia.
while in Maryland there have been
e36 one family dwelling permits is
sued, with a value of approximately
$4,000 900. and 81 multi-family struc-
lures. furnishing housing for 458
S850.oO0. These figures do not include
the Prince Georges County. Md, or
Virginia areas.
The development and sale Of land
has been much more active during
the past year, according to the Dis
trict assessor, whose Office has handled
more than 400 subdivisions and re-
subdivisions of vacant ground.
The number of deeds recorded will
exceed the high mark of 1928, when
there were 1921 deeds placed on
record. Although the figures for De-
cember are incomplete, the total for
this var Cup to December 19) is a.
1913 deeds recorded.
Another indicator that business con-
ditions are better is the exceptionally
small number of foreclosures. To De-
cember 10 they totaled 482, the lowest
figure they have been since 1928, when
the Real Estate Board began compil-
ing these records. During 1886 they
amounted to 871 and the highest fig
ure was reached during 1888 with
1858.
The desirability Of real estate in the
Washington area from an investment
viewpoint is evidenced by the supply.
Of money which is available through
private lending sources. For the past
liz months there have been 1884
deeds of trust recorded. covering the
sum Of $77,274,0o5. This is the larg-
est amount in any year since 1881.
Records in the Real Estate Boards
ofice show that title to approximately
10000 properties was changed during
the past year.

NEW REFRIGERATOR SOLVES

That cold alone is not enough

WARNING ISSUED CONCERN
ING CHILDREN'S TEETH

A plea for better care OF chile
ren's teeth is made by DIR. 9. A
Moore, Lexington, to those inter
ested in the future welfare ano
happiness of their children.
Chairman of the State Dental
Associations Committee on
Mouth Hygiene, DR.. Moore is well
known in this and other states
through his interest in dentistry
for children.
Stating that absorption of pus
from decayed Assessed baby
teeth is likely to cause pyelitis,
rheumatism, heart LESSONS, and
other troubles, DR.. Moore said
further that toxic poison lowers
the child natural resistance and
makes him more likely TO sue
cumb to contagious diseases.
Health centers of the United
States such as Mayo Brothers,
Johns Hopkins University and
the Rockefeller Foundation claim
that $50 of the ills for which
people are treated at their instl-
buttons are caused either direct
ly or indirectly by the absorption
Of poison from teeth and tonslls.
Such startling statistics show
the necessity of educating the
public to the Importance OF early
regular and intelligent dental at
tention.
Needless fear of pain keeps
more people out of the dental Of
flee than all other causes com
bined. How often some one says,
81 have just been to the dentist
and he nearly killed me-" After
gruesomely describing the ordeal
undergone, such a person will re-
veal that she only had her teeth
cleaned and after all really suf-
fered no pain other than being
forced to stop talking for a short
fimel Such remarks r in large
measure responsible for the fear
that children have of dentists,
which makes it difficult to serve
the little fellows. Judicious use
of local anesthetics has made pain
in the dentists chair almost a
thing of the past.
Normal shape of the jaws and
teeth are important not only for
prevention of disease Of teeth and
gums but also for the personal
beauty of the face. 1t is the duty
of the parent to prevent any in
reference of facial development
by thumb sucking or sleeping
habits.
Regular attention by a dentist
and proper diet, including milk,
fresh fruits and vegetables, are
invaluable in the health and hap
piness of children.
