The Discoverer and Founder
of Christian Science. Mary Baker
Eddy, has given 10 the world q
new hope, a brighter vision,
founded upon spiritual under

as being the creator Of both COED

mo, we don't build nest. Goodness
gracious me, what do We want of a
nest?'
Peter confessed that he didn't know
unless for a cradle for their babies.
IF you don't have a nest, where do
you keep your babies? Where are they
born?" he asked.
THAT depends on where we happen
to be living" replied Filter promptly.

Getting in and out is easy enough, !"
replied Filter. Way up near the top
is an open window, and we go in and
out through that. 1t is lovely and
dark up there under the roof, even
when Mr.. Sun is shining his bright

THE trouble with Peter Rabbit is
that his questions are not always

tions never gain anything for any
body. But Peters questions are not

Years Total Estimated by
Officer of Associated
Contractors.

More than $50. 1000 900 worth of con-
struction. including both public and
private undertakings. will be added
to Washington during the current
year. it was predicted by Edward j.
Harding. managing director Of the
Associated General Contractors Of
America. in an address before MEM
bers of the Washington Building Con-
gress this week.
Mr.. Harding was the featured speak
er at the monthly meeting Of the con-
gress held at the Lafayette Hotel. He
said his figures did not include the
$l42, 2,000,0 900 program presented at the
White House last week by Secretary
Of Interior Ickes. Mr.. Harding re-
ported on the findings of a special
survey conducted by the contractors
organization designed to ascertain the
building outlook for the District and
nearby areas.
In Favorable Position.
Mr.. Harding said that on the basis
OF what the committee found "it is
quite apparent that the construction
industry in this territory is indeed in
. favored position. as compared with
any equivalent area OF the United
States
The District government will let con-
tracts this year for more than $lO,-
100000 worth OF work, two and q
quarter millions OF which will be for
public schools. Federal building prof.
ects authorized total more than S1O,-
900, 900 more. the speaker continued
In addition, legislation is pending pro-
viding for nearly four millions for
other District projects
$60.o0o.o 200 in "Proba biIities.".
Contemplated building projects,
such as the District Auditorium. a new
War Department Building. Social Sc
curity Building and General Account
ing Office. would add so millions. but
these Mr.. Harding classed as prob
abilities"
Augmented by liberalized mortgage
financing. notably under the National
Housing Act. housing in the District
will boost this years construction to
the 30-million mark, Mr.. Harding pre-
| dicted.

average sales price of $4,000 the total
business transacted by operative build
ers and contractors was over $4,000

October. 1886. Nearest.
The nearest approach since the late
l920s to this large number of sales
was in October. 1896, when l76 dwell
ings were sold. and In September,
1887. when 1855 structures changed
hands. Mr.. Lusk's figures show.
Because of the large increase in
sales of new homes. the Washington
market has been greatly improved
The number Of finished homes has
taken decided drop There were $50
new houses for sale in the District on
May /, as compared to 969 a month
before. and 1920 on January l, Mr..
Lusk points out He said that due
to the greatly slackened home build
ing pace it is likely that the number
OF new homes ready for market will
continue to decrease through May and
June and probably July.

the common opinion among Capital

1t is stressed in the Review that the

the new house market Is largely due
to decreased building Residential
construction for the first four months
OF 1888 in the District is 56 per cent

INCREASE IN SPEED
LIMITS |SFAV0RED
Removal of Street Cars Is
Opposed by Lincoln Park
Citizens.

A resolution calling for an increase
in District of Columbia speed limits to
insure greater safety and more con-
sideration of the law was adopted by
the Lincoln Park Citizens Association
at its monthly meeting in the Bryan
School at Fourteenth and B streets
NE last night.
Louis I. Oberg, chairman Of the
Public Utilities Committee, favored
the resolution highly, saying, 1T is
wise plan for the District of Columbia,
as it will help to speed up congested
traffic and at the same time have a
tendency to keep drivers within its
limits-of Is and IS miles an hour.
Most cars have Smile graduations'
on their speedometers and at the
proposed new speed limit the driver
can easily see his speed gauge and
keep within that radius-25 miles an
hours is much easier to gauge than a.. 4"
Opposition to removal of the Eighth
and F streets NE. car line was unani-
mously voiced by the association.
Business men along the car line
from Eighth and F streets NE to
Union Station have already secured
1900 signatures of persons in that
vicinity who are opposed to abandon
ment Of the tracks," Mr.. Oberg said.
The three following, closely related,
resolutions were indorsed: First, that
a letter commencing Senator Thomas
for his action in Gallinger Hospital
be sent him; second. favoring six
extra physicians of record of the Dis
trict of Columbia be placed on the
staff at Gallinger, and, third, these
physicians should be men who have
had previous experience in giving free
treatment to the needy sick.
A donation of $40 was voted the
Police Boys Club.
Mrs. Ernest B. Moose, j. L. Gammell
and Mr.. Kimball were selected as
committee of three by the associations
president, Alfred D. Calvert, to work
out some means of entertainment as

ments for Boy Scout Troop No. 81.
Mrs. Helena D. Reed made a motion

that the association should "in due
manner" commend the Attorney Cen
eral for appointing lifelong resident
of Washington as district attorney.
The motion was adopted.
