chatted affably, and somewhat Shyly,
with a cavalcade of columnists on
as many subjects as usually come up
in two hours. The diffldence was
manifest when the conversation was
personal, which it most of the time
is on such occasions. 1t did not
affect Columbia 2l-year-old players
affability, however.
His hope for a movie career is
very strong as result OF his first
role-a vastly more important one
than youngsters usually get. But
it was not very strong at first. AS
a matter of fact, when a talent scout
who saw him in a college show In
Pasadena (CalifD suggested he show
up at the studio the next day for a
screen test, young Holden said IN
bland disbelief:
I'm busy tomorrow"
Whatever an answer like that does
to the usual talent scout, this one
recovered quickly enough to ask
Holden when he wasn't going to be
busy.
In three or four days, after mid
year exams" Holden said, contem-
plating an immediate future full OF
the horrors that confront lads ma
joring in chemistry.
! THAT was all right with the talent
scout, so Holden went over for g
face and diction test after the brain
stretch at Pasadena Junior College
was over. More realist than phleg'
matte or pessimistic, he managed tt
be calm when the screen tests (anc

when they spied me and some one

In interpreting the role Of the
young man who was torn between
love for the violin and a need
for money which diverted him to
prize fighting, Holden Is not playing
himself. He does the lingering of
those pieces which one sees on the
screen, but he Is no violinist. His
mother wanted him to be and he
had enough lessons to get a good
notion Of what it was all about, but
he had other things to do when he
should have been practicing. He also
did the fight scenes in the picture,
for which he also had special coach
ing. His father, who wanted him to
be chemist but not too uncompro-
misingly, liked the fight scenes in the
film. The mother liked the violin
sequences. Young Holden enjoyed
doing them and, regardless of what
praise he, receives, he thinks he
should have done them better.
If he is putting on an act when
he says that, and those other mod
est things about himself, he is actor
enough to get by very handsomely
for a long, long time. He has no
desire to be glamour boy; in fact,
he has desire not to be glamour
boy and is certain he won't be.
Chemistry, however, will have to
get some one to take his place, even
though he is not any too confident
about that even now.

District bui|dinq
Of $38,000,000
Seen for Year
TotoI Would Be
Highest Since
Pre-Depression Era

Although official figures are not
available, private building in the
District as measured by permits
issued is expected to approximate
$38, 100000 in valuation this year.
This would be the highest total
since pre-depression days.
A large proportion of the building
total is for residential construction.
Real estate men say the District
and nearby sections of Virginia and
Maryland enjoyed the greatest
growth in history during the year
just closing.
Permits were issued for 1924, 100 in
private construction during the past
week although the Office of Building
Inspector John w. Oehmann was
closed two days. Included in the list
for the period were permits for 10
one-family dwellings and five small
apartments.

week follow:

Much has been made of woman's
ability to do general household re-
pairs by means of a hairpin. This
handy part of the feminine ward
robe is not to be scoffed at, even
among the bobbed-haired cohorts.
But we can't help remarking on how
much more can be done by merely
keeping on the supply shelf pack
age or can of crack filler.
Crack filler, as it is known today,
consists of a plastic powder that
needs only the addition of water to
make it available for a hundred and
one purposes. 1t can be used to fill
cracks in a floor, above sinks and
drainboards, around pipes and
wiring. 1t can be used to repair
furniture and to set or repair mosaic
tile. It is even useful in setting
screws, casters and door handles
Most of these measly little repair
jobs, too minor to warrant calling
in outside service. can be handled
by the householder equipped with
a good crack filler.

wallboard or plaster, and after it
has dried and set. it can be sawed,
planed or sandpapered, painted,
vanished or enameled.
The sample of piece of ordinary
wood which lies on our desk as we
write has been chiseled, whitfield,
sanded, drilled, nailed and sawed,
although it contains two generous
groovesful of correctly applied crack
filler We are no end impressed. We
can hardly wait to try the sample
on a cracked window frame in our
country house.
To apply it. all you do is mix the
filler in shallow basin with enough
water to make a smooth. pliable
putty-about one part water to
three parts powder. Then clean out
the holes or cracks and moisten
their sides with a damp cloth or

Dividends Hiqher

Distribution of SOC, 900 900 in divi-
dends on savings, building and loan
association share accounts for the
last six months has been COM
pleted, the United States Savings
and Loan League said today. Its
estimate of the total payment OF
earnings covers 5000 different asso-
Citations in every State and in Ha-
waii and Alaska. About $500 900
persons will receive anywhere from
a few cents on the dollars they
saved for the first time this year to
several hundred dollars on invest
ments which have been accumulat-
ing for decade or more.
According to Morton Bodf1sh, Chi
cago, executive vice president Of the
league, the total represented a slight
gain over the June 30 distribution.
The reduction in the rate of divi-
dends in some associations because
of prevailing lower mortgage inter-

Boss & Phelps Sales
$2.278.75Q for Year

Sales of residential, investment
business properties and farms, ag-
gregating in value $2,278,750, were
made during 1899 by the real estate
firm of Boss g. Phelps, it was an
nounced today by George D. Miller,
director of sales.
Mr.. Miller said there is every in
dication that home building will
continue at a high level in 1910
There was marked improvement
during 1889 in the sale of invest
ment properties, in fact, the de-
mand was not fully met, Mr.. Miller
stated. Investors turned to income
producing property because they
were unable to purchase real estate
mortgages, the demand for which
the last few years has been greater
than the supply. Sale of farms also
showed vast improvement over 1888
and the outlook for 1910 is held
promising.

Building Boom Seen
Possibility for 1910

The building industry promises to
move ahead in 1910. according to
Travis G. Walsh of Cleveland,
chairman of the Committee on In
dustrial Relations of the American
Institute of Architects. The possi-
bility of a boom such as that which
occurred following the outbreak of
the World War in 1914 cannot be
ruled out, Mr.. Walsh declares.
Increased activity in the steel
and copper trades, the vastly ac-
celerated production in the airplane
industry and various other indica-
tions too numerous to record, give
weight to the contention that the
construction industry is about to
take a leading role, assuming that
this country adheres to a neutral
foreign policy" Mr.. Walsh says.
Increased residential construc-
ton not only in small but in mod
crate sized and larger types of
dwellings is foreseen. Extension of
the Federal public works and hous-
ing programs and large-scale de-
fense measures already in the plan
ming stages are cited as other en-
couraging factors.
