In this patent, however, Mr.. Coe
claims that light in two wave-length
bands greatly improves quality, espe-
cially of tobacco. One is the so-called
chlorophyl band, Of precisely the color
of green leaves. The other is an
orange-yelloW band. The aroma of
tobacco, he says, is greatly improved.
A means of making a hen, especially
pedigreed one, do her own bookkeep-
ing was patented by Orlando E. Kel-
lum of Moreno, Calf.
It consists of a nest for laying,
When hen enters, the door is auto
matically locked behind her so that
no other hen can enter. although she
can get out by the same way any
time she pleases. At the other side
of the nest is locked door which
automatically is unlocked when the
hen drops an egg, affording the nat
ural means for her departure from the
nest.
The opening of this door automati-
cally operates the shutter of a CAM
era which takes picture of the hen
as she leaves the nest. On the back
or side of each bird in the flock is
marked letter or number which
shows up in the picture. BY the
same action the role of film is adj
vanced for the next layer.
In this way no hen can get her
picture taken unless she lays an egg.
Thus an accurate account Is kept of
the number of eggs she actually lays.
1t is intended especially for fine breed
ing stock.

November, 1887
Washington Holds
To Third Place in
Total Building

Permit valuations for residential
buildings in November throughout
the Nation were ST per cent higher
than in November, 1887, Secretary
Frances Perkins announced today
following completion Of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics monthly survey.
For five consecutive months, the
value of residential buildings has
shown an increase of more than
so per cent over the correspond
ing month of 1887.
Value of new non-residential
buildings increased At per cent, as
compared with November, 1887. On
the other hand, the value of addi-
tions, alterations and repairs de-
clined 7 per cent over the year
period. Total permit valuations,
covering all types of building, were
43 per cent higher.
Washington in Third Place.
Washington maintained its posi-
ton as the third city in the coun-
try in total building volume The
survey placed the value of construc-
ton here for II months of the
year at S48 ,625 ,742, an increase of
more than S6000,000 over last year.
These figures include, however, a
large amount of Government build
ing. 1t is believed that private con-
struction here will show a consider
able drop from 1887. Only New
York City and Los Angeles top the
District in total building valua-
ton.
! There was a decrease of 9 per
cent in total permit valuation in
November as compared with Octo-
ber. This decrease is much smaller
than the usual seasonal decline.
The value of new residential build
1ngs declined 5 per cent during the
current month as compared with
| October. The value of new non
residential buildings showed a de-
crease of per cent and the value
of additions, alterations and repairs
a decline of % per cent.
During the first II months of
1888 permits were issued in cities
reporting to the bureau for buildings
valued at s1,552 1872, ,OO0 This is an
increase of per cent as compared
with the corresponding period of

Federal Loan GROUPS
Pay S90,o00,00O
Dividends in 5 Years
Savings Associations
Show Marked Progress
For 1888

BY the end of 1888 Federal savings
and loan associations, during their
first five years of existence. will have
paid more than $90,000,0O0 in total
dividends to their investors. the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
announced today. The figure is
based on dividends actually paid up
to the end of 1887 and the amount
estimated to be distributed for the
past II months. These nationally
chartered mutual thrift and home
finance institutions were authorized
by Congress in 1888.
OF this cumulative amount, about
$70000,0O0 represents earnings on
the funds of individual savers and
investors and $20,O00,O0O paid or
payable to the Government on its
investments in about 1,100 of these
associations, made chiefly in the
1934-6 period to expand local home
lending. For the year 1888 the total
dividends of the institutions are
expected to be about S31,70O,OOO.
On November 30, the United States
Treasury and the Home Owners
Loan Corporation had $219,0OO,0OO
invested in these institutions. More
than 100000 private investors held
nearly $850,OO0,0OO.
Decrease in New Associations.
During 1888 there was a net de-
crease in the number of Federal as
sociations newly organized since the
passage of the enabling act, largely
due to mergers, but the number TO
old-established State-chartered as
sociations that have converted to
Federal charter is constantly in
creasing.

ally supervised associations con-

during 1938-both in providing safe
and attractive investments for mil
lions of Americans and in making
home loans in their communities.
During the first 10 months of 1898
analyses of monthly reports from
identical institutions showed an av-
erage gain of nearly Is per cent a
month in the total of their invest
ments from the public, equivalent to
rate of 1874 per cent growth in
capital per year.
Federal associations made long
term home loans totaling $238 900 900
during the same months. OF this, Al
per cent was for the construction and
repair of dwellings, % per cent for
the purchase of existing houses, %
per cent for refinancing present
mortgages and per cent for other
purposes. october loans by Federal
associations were 8 per cent greater
than in the same month of 1887.
For the entire year it is estimated
that loans by these institutions will
exceed s28O,O0O,OOO.
Funds Repositories.
Besides being gathering place
for the regular sayings of individuals,
and surpluses of business houses, in
many States Federal associations
have become repositories of other
investment funds when permitted
by local law. These include funds
of insurance companies, guardians,
trustees, estates and others.
The Florida Legislature recently
authorized investment of city, county
and school district funds in institu-
tions that "are members of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank System -

Architect Sees Better
Buildings Being
Erected in j. ),
Declares Advance Durino
Lost IS Years Hos
Been Revolutionary

Buildings of better design and
construction will be erected in the
era of prosperity which the United
States is about to enter, N. Max
Dunning, chairman of the Struc-
tural Service Committee of the
American Institute of Architects,
says in a report made public by the
institute.
Despite the reluctance of the con-
struction industry in an age of rapid
change to adopt new and radical
methods as freely as other large
industries, the advances made in
the last Is years have actually been
revolutionary, Mr.. Dunning declares
Together with the change that
has taken place in concepts of plan
ming and design have come new
materials introducing color, texture
and structural techniques adapted
to the new trends of expression in
design" he points out.
"It is not a greatly exaggerated
statement to say that, particularly
in the modernistic interior treatment
of cocktail bars and retail shops
and restaurants, there may be found
no material used that was on the
market from 10 to Is years ago.
This is true, but in a lesser degree,
of the materials used in the ex-
terror treatment of shop fronts and
the less important types of build
ings"
Must Be Put on Feet.
1t is generally agreed that no
permanent stability in business as
whole will be accomplished until
the construction industry is put on
its feet, and it seems also to be gen.
orally agreed that stimulation of
the construction of houses is the
most effective point of attack in
advancing the solution of this prob
lem. according to Mr.. Dunning.
The needs of great masses of the
people who have become housing
minded" are being met by the CO.
operative effort of the principal in
terests associated with the building
industry from the scientific investi-
gator to the Architect, Mr.. Dunning
reports.
The research agencies of the
Government, the laboratories of in
dustry and of the architectural and
engineering colleges of the country
are conducting research, tests and
experimentation in the develop
ment of new materials and methods
applicable to housing, directed to-
ward the insurance of permanence
simplicity of design and construc-
ton and reduction of costs,'' con-
tinues Mr.. Dunning. describing the
coalition of agencies which, he pre-
diets, will make for better housing
in America in 1899.
Taking Active Part.

The difficult task of draping steel
easement windows Ono place to put

lightened friend of ours is not a
difficult task at all when your WIN
dows are equipped with special
brackets designed for steel case

means to the asthetic end of having
colorful fabrics at your windows.
Although these brackets, which are
assembled on the build-on principle,
are not beautiful in themselves, they
do their job efficiently and keep
quite out of sight in the doing. Could
you ask for more?
No matter what kind of hangings
you want at your window. even if
you choose cornices or double rods
for double curtains. only four screws
are necessary to attach a pair of
the brackets to support the necessary
drapery hardware. They are so
easy to install that any haSdyman
or woman chow often the handy one
is woman these daysD can do the
job.
Steel window frames can be Or
dered with holes already drilled and
tapped and machine screws inserted
which simplifles the attachment OF
the window shade and drapery
hardware still further. In fact, all
standard steel easement windows
can be purchased with holes drilled
to accommodate this kind of hard
ware.
The brackets may be ordered

combinations to take care of shades

but said he did not inquire into the
situation.
He added that the mere fact that
Whitney wished to have the loan sub

he was in serious financial condi-

frequently had obtained such an ac-
commodation from a creditor.
