OCTOBER

October in her gala dress
Is a coy lass of loveliness,
Who does not find her gowns divine
Nor ecstacy to walk with her
When frosty breezes family stir?
A lovely lass of varying mood
One day gracious, one day rude,
Who does not find each mood divine
Or love the more her red and gold,
That lures us from our own threshold.

Deals Island, Md.
John the Baptist is still up-to-date.
When standing one day by the quiet
flowing Jordan, he declared: "In the
midst of you standeth one whom We
know not"
Has it ever occurred to you that
the lack of any manifestation of the
presence of the living Christ is no
proof that He is absent?
Why doubt the presence of Christ
Just because we are not conscious of
it?
Are we conscious of the presence of
the atmosphere in which we live?
Are there not colors about us that the
human eye cannot detect? Are there
not sounds about us that only the ear
of a mouse can catch? Because we
cannot see these colors or hear these
sounds is no proof that they are not
about us. In fact, al THAT it does

BUILDING VOLUME
IN 1887 TOPS 1886
Al Key Cities Show Slump
Late in Year. Failed to
Prevent Gain.

Despite sharp curtailment Of con-
struction operations during the latter
part Of 1887, building volume for that
year showed an improvement over
1896, according to E. M. Craig. secre-
tary Of the National Association of
Building Trades Employers.
This improvement Is revealed in 4
survey Of Al key cities. The 1897 con-
struction volume of these cities showed
236.204 permits having q value Of
SITS, ,237. as against 222 $50 per-
mits having a dollar value Of 1884,
086.862 for 1895.
The 1887 construction totals for
a States aggregated close to $780,
10000. For 1885 in these a States
1t was l,287. .2e9. and in 1885 It
was $1,975. .098,235. The peak building
year was 1928. when more than $l1,-
900 100000 in building volume was
done.
Boston had the largest gain. an
increase OF BIS per cent over 1895
Chicago registered a 5l.4 per cent
upturn. Philadelphia ATT per cent and
New York 44.4 per cent. New York
continues as the leading city for per-
mits and value-49.07l permits with a
value OF $305 ,O25.7s2. The large num-
Der OF building permits issued in
December was due to the expiration Of
New Yorks building code at the end
Of 1897 and this swelled their 1897
building output
Washington, Cincinnati. Milwaukee,
Memphis. Dallas, st. Louis. St. Paul,
Fort Worth, Louisville, Nashville,
Kansas City. Peoria. Scranton and
Toledo had decreases in 1887 when
compared to 1886.
Chicago occupied sixth place at the
end Of 1887. At the end of 1886 it
held eighth place. Los Angeles was
second in building volume and first
in the number Of erected homes, a
total Of 6845 Chicago constructed
l.025 new homes in 1887, compared
to $50 in 1895. In the Chicago
metropolitan area close to $500 new
homes were erected or being erected.
Building authorities do not an
ticipate any rental boosts this spring
due to contraction of general business
Although some cities complain Of 4
housing shortage, the number Of
workers added To the jobleSs ranks
during the last few months Is again
creating a doubling-up situation in
their localities which has lessened the
demand for housing facilities.

DWELLING UNITS
SHOW INCREASE
More Non.Farm, Structures
Built in 1887 Than in Any
Year Since 1880.

Despite the decline in residential
building in the last halt Of last year,
there were more non-farm dwelling
units built in 1897 than in any year
since 1890, according to an analysis
OF statistics from several governmental
sources. it was announced today BY
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator.
In 1887, there were 285. 900 dwelling
units in urban and rural non-farm
areas, according to estimates made by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the
F. H. A. This figure, Mr.. Mcdonald
said, represents the highest since 1890,
when. according to the National Bu-
reau of Economic Research, 286,0O0
dwelling units in the same areas were
built The year 1881 showed drop
In such construction to $4,000 units
and decided falling of in 1882 to
$4,000 such units. In 1888 further
drop occurred, the non-farm dwelling
construction reaching only $4,000
units, advanced to $1,000 units in
1894 l44.000 homes in 1885. Some
100000 residential dwelling units were
built in 1896, according to the estimate
Of the F. H. A.
In studying these figures. it must
be remembered that. while 1897 saw
about the same home building AS 1890,
the year 1890 did not represent the
peak in home building in this country.
Mr.. Mcdonald said. The year 1925,
according to all available statistics,
marked the hisn point in home con-
struction. But, the significant thing,
of6cials said is the steady progress in
such construction each year from the
low point in 1888 through 1887, which
about eaualed 1905 home building.
The F. Il. As progress in insuring
residential mortgages has paralleled the
rise in home construction since the
National Housing Act was passed in
1884, Mr.. Mcdonald also pointed out.
Notwithstanding monthly drop in
both mortgages selected for appraisal
and mortgages accepted for insurance
by F. H. A. in the last six months of
1897, the year closed with 95 per
cent rise in the dollar value of mort
cages selected for appraisal as COM
pared with the year 1886 and %
per cent increase in the dollar value
of the mortgages accepted for insur-
ance.
Each year Of opera tions by the
r H. A. has shown steady advance in
both the number and dollar volume of
mortgages insured. In 1885. F. H. A.
accepted approximately s17o.0oo,o0 in
residential mortgages for insurance; in
1895, about s43s, 100000 and last year,
1887. about $4,000 900, bringing the
total through 1887 up to more than a
billion dollars in home mortgages ac-
cepted for insurance.

FLOW Of DOLLARS
ABR0ADLAMENTED
Counsel for F. H. l. B. Suq-
gests FederaIIy Insured
Agencies for Investments,

Lamentine The vast flow of American
investments to foreign lands, where
millions of dollars have been irretriev-
ably lost. Horace Russell, general coun-
sci OF the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board and its agencies, today suggested
Federally insured savings and loan
associations. locally managed. as one
of the best fields Of investment.
Accounts in member institutions Of
the Federal Savings and Loan 1nsur-
ance Corp. he explained. are protected
up to $4,000 each. As result. he SAID
citizens throughout the country are
turning to them for investments COM
bining a reasonable interest return
with maximum safety.
Saving in Insurance.
Contradicting the idea that the
American people are spending all their
money on maintaining = high stand
ard OF living. Mr.. Russell said:
This is not true. The American
people still are saving in insurance
companies as consistently and as rap
idly as ever and the total of $25. .OOO.-
100000 in insurance companies Is the
highest ever known.
Also, the total savings in mutual
savings banks are the highest ever
known, more than $l1 900 900 900.
Common savings are flowing not only
into the postal savings but into United
States savings bonds and other Gov
eminent securities"
Cites Strong Institutions.
Without criticiNng these invest
ments. Mr.. Russell pointed to the ad-
vantages of developing locally strong
financing institutions for home build
ing and asked:
Why should the folks in my own
town Of Atlanta. and yours. put their
money into central public service &C.
curities and others, which fuctuate
as they have. when such savings and
investment funds are needed At home.
are safer at home and earn more
money?
Prom a national standpoint. why
not build up a financial structure To-
cally which will stand up?
Those OF lis who have been inter-
ested In insured institutions for saw
ings and in sound economical home
financing believe that If we have a
sound thrift and home financing struc-
ture in every city and town In the
United States our entire financial
structure will be greatly stabilized.
We believe further that it is better
that such a structure should be under
local ownership and direction. Expert
ence has shown that such q plan will
get results and is safe and sound"
