to 1899 Session

The SiXty-SecOnd annual session
of the Carolina Missionary Bap-
fist association convened today at
10 a. m, tor the second and last
day of its work.
The attendance was not as large
as that of yesterday but interest
and fellowship was impressive as
the organization proceeded with
its business after a crowded day
yesterday when the attendance of
ministers and laymen was unus-
ually large, even crowdlng the
building to its utmost capacity.
The women of the Tuxedo Baptist
church had prepared a bountiful
spread and served it in the public
school building a short distance
from the church house.
Outstanding features of yeSter-
day afternoons session was the
devotional conducted by the Rev.
Sam Huntley and reports on state
missions by the Rev. J. W. Kes-
terson; Foreign Missions by Mrs.
f. M. Bostic; Religious Literature
by Noah Hollowell, and Orphan
age by w. B. Sinclair.
Visiting speakers who discussed
some of these reports were Supt.
|. G. Greer of the Baptist orphan
age of this state; M. A. Higgins,
state secretary of the Baptist
work; Supt. Smith Hageman Of
the Baptist hospital at Winston
Salem. and K. F. Terrell, repre-
sentative of the Biblical Recorder.
The Baptist Training Union
held an Inspiration service last
night, this being composed mostly
of young people.
The convention proceeded this
morning with the Sunday school
report by Mrs. D. G. Wilkie; the
report on Christian Education, by
the Rev. Broadus Wall; the report
of special committees; the treas
urer'S report, and that on Public
Morals by the Rev. n. A. Melton.
In the light of the opening gun OF
the Rev. Arnold Edney yesterday

county police court records and

is believed that Mr.. Melton's re-
port will bring the convention up
to another high peak of interest,
as did the sermon of Mr.. Edney
yesterday, when, after somewhat
alphabetically, he explained that
he didn't want to be classed as a
fanatic, he took the late grand

BUILDING $2,525,000
IN PRINCE GEORGES
Is New Apartment Houses, IS
Commercial Structures and
$50 Dwellings Built.

81 eeial Dispatch to The Star.
EVANSVILLE, Md. Jan. 8.-New
construction during the year 1887 in
the metropolitan area OF Prince
Georges County was approximately
s2,525.O00, according to records Of the
county building inspectors office here.
Eighteen new apartment houses were
built, IS commercial buildings, approx
mately $50 private dwellings and $50
separate garages.
While there was general increase
in construction over the entire area,
the largest number of new homes ap-
pear in the University Of Maryland
section.
The four largest single projects were
the spacious store on Maryland avenue
in Hyattsville between Marion and
Franklin streets at cost of $4,000;
a fraternity house at College Park,
costing $4,000; the radio broadcast
ing station in the seventeenth dis
trict, west Of Hyattsville, cost of which
is $28.750, and an apartment house
consisting of Is units at Mount Rainier
costing $4,000.

STRIPED MAPLE
ORNAMENTAL TREE:
Trunk of White and Green
Eliminates DrabneSS
in Winter.

A very interesting small tree which
is probably more familiar to residents
Of the Northeastern States than else
where, but will grow well where any
other member Of the maple family
will, is the striped maple. says Paul
Davey, well-known tree expert.
The tree gets its name from the
white stripes on the green bark Of its
trunk. Its color program gives 1t q
year around interest. Its winter buds,
Mr.. Davey explains, are a bright red
on light green twigs, notified with
black, so that with its longitudinal
light trunk stripes 1t has none Of the
drab winter appearance Of so many
trees. In summer its leaves are a
bright green and in the fall it has
the variegated tints which distinguish
other members Of the maple family.
First Knowu as Moosewood.
Mr.. Davey continus:
THE formal name Of this little tree
is Acer Pennsylvanicum, the Acer be-
ing the Latin generic name for the
whole maple group and the Pennsyl-
vanicum indicating the home of the
first Of the particular species to- be
identified. The early New England
name was moosewood, because the
bark and branchlets are favorite VIM
ter food of the moose and trees Of the
species in a winter feeding ground OF
the animals will be completely
stripped Of bark and small branches.
The reason for this preference is the
fact that there is sugar in the sap
Of the little trees and, like most other
living creatures, the moose has q
sweet tooth.
"All maple trees, including this
striped maple, probably originated In
Asia. North America has but nine
species, while there are more than 80
in China and Japan alone. 1t has
been estimated that fully one-third Of
all the sdeciduous trees in Japan are
NAPLES OF one kind or another. One
Of the kinds is hardly distinguishable
from the striped maple we have been
discussing and it is fair to assume
that at some time in the distant past
they had a common ancestor.
Ornamental on Lawns.
"The striped maple is principally
useful for ornamental purposes in
parks or lawns. 1t Is small, having
diameter OF usually not more than
or 10 inches, and usually is not more
than 40 feet high. It has yellow flowers
in May, two-winged fruit. each wing

lack Of money needed to restore them

their own in the neighborhood and
safeguarded their own resale value.
To-day we have q shortage In new

Colors for North Room.

A room having q north light or
northern exposure receives no direct
sunlight and is a Swallowed room. The
reflected light from its walls will be Of
a cool quality. Therefore, for painting
the walls of this type Of room the fol-
lowing warm colors can be used effec.

the colors that are known as warm"

cost Of not more than $4,000 for
flve-room house for the top of the
group, but with the average cost
per unit not in excess of $4,000, with
goodly number at $4,000.
With these facts staring us in the
face, it appears highly improbable
that much housing for this great
group Of our people will be done
under present methods. This opinion
is further reinforced by the results
of the Governments housing program
where costs were so high that even
with a As per cent subsidy the rents
were still between Sc and 81 per
room, requiring further subsidy If
slum jewellers are to be helped.
The American Institute of Archi-
tects is interested in developing a
program pointing toward a solution
OF the low-cost home problem, and
it is apparent that a new approach
must be devised and concessions made
by all branches of the industry in
order to serve a very large market
now beyond our reach and of such
magnitude as to make Government
subsidy out of the question"

A. A. Baldwin Of Cleveland Plans
to Breed Thoroughbreds.
Special Dispatch to The Star
BERRYV1LLE. Va, Jan. s.-An-
nouncement was made today Of the
sale Of the Mckee and Kitchen farms
in this county to Arthur A. Baldwin Of
Cleveland at price reported to be
$4,000. The sale was handled by
Capt. Ewart Johnston Of Boyce, and
entails 500 acres.
Mr.. Baldwin plans to consolidate
the two places into one farm, where
he will breed thoroughbred horses. He
expects to take possession of the prop
erty March and will proceed with
renovations OF the brick house, barns
and other buildings on the property.
Mr.. Baldwin. member of a prominent
Cleveland family, is engaged in the
bonding and brokerage business in
that city.

COST FALLACY HIT
Facts and Figures Held Needed
by Building Industry.

by Building Industry.
The building industry must fight
the fallacy of high construction costs
with facts and figures If it Is to
achieve its greatest development in
today's market. says Harold Knapp,
vice president of building material
manufacturing firm. Foot for foot,
he declares, the American home
buyer is receiving today better, more
comfortable. more permanent build
ing for IS to 40 per cent less than he
paid in 1926.
Though this may be q revelation
to many people," Mr.. Knapp says, 1T
can be proved by concrete testimony
gathered from all parts of the country,
rejecting the judgment of many men
in the industry that never before has
so much good design. good materials
and low cost been combined in small
homes"
