Home of Today Costs Less
Than in 1926, Builders Saw

Although the home of today con-
tains innumerable conveniences and
improvements of comparatively re-
cent origin, it actually costs less to
build than was the case in 1926,
which many economists call the nor
NAL year, building experts point out.
One important point in home con-
struction economy is in financing.
Not only is it possible for the pros
pective home-owner today to buy
home with small down-payment,
which was not the case a few years
ago, but the carrying charges are
smaller, partly through the elimina-
ton of junior financing. The Pro-
ducers' Council points out that, due
to the zone long-term mortgage
plan," most of home financing is IS
per cent cheaper than was the case
in 1926.
Economies, as well as added
charm and beauty, are effected in
present-day home building through
improvements in design. By means
of compactness and more efficient
arrangements, it now is possible to
attain detectives that could not have
been the case few years ago.
Standardization, mass production,
and various superior manufacturing
methods, place the cost of building
materials much less today than in
former years and these economies
are being passed along to the home
builder.
Among the added comforts and
conveniences of today, mention
might be made of air-conditioning
insulation, copper and brass plumb
ing, weather-tight doors and win
dows, automatic heat, electrical
equipment, better plumbing, and
more convenient and efficient kitch-
en- equipment.
The house of today, it might be
added, is safer place in which to
live because of fire-resistant roofs
and side walls, while the tighter
construction makes for better health.

What Is Segregation?

segregation is the special Amer
lean means Of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of in
feriors in public Status.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality Of citi-
zenship, of freedom, of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial Of
presence and of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as having been a slave race
and make them forever the scorn of
civil society.
at is very effective measure.
Colored people are traitors to them
selves to aid and abet tie idea by
.self-segregation."

Fragrances Have Many Associations

- las 4 ANUS A"fC MANY ASSOCldJlOuS
Intangible and elusive as they are,
fragrances have associations of
many kinds, according to Elsa Reh-
mann's Garden Making" They
call up pictures of many clines and
many countries. There is never a
tiny Whit of hawthorn but visualizes
English lanes in Maytime, pictures
English gardens during spring, typi-
fies England itself.
Fragrances are inseparably min
gled with the character and habits
of plants. Is not the cool greenness
of lockwood the very keynote of its
fragrant charm? Does not each
tiny bell of lily-of-the-valley tinkle
the pure delicacy of it's fragrance?
Is not the fragrance of pinks indie
finably mixed up with the careless
mats of spreading grayness along
the edges of paths?
Fragrance is inseparably mingled
with flower color. Think of all the
perfumed loneliness of nicotiana,
honeysuckle, Madonna lilies, garden
heliotrope, dictamnus; do they not
call up memories of white flowers
glistening in the dark of the eve
ming? Or get a Whit of marigolds;
does it not suggest gardens of rich
and varied color; of pungent yell
low, orange, red?

LUCERNE, Switzerland, April II. Lucerne's trinity voters, who congra aIulaoed tne.=5e-veS on saving 550,000 Swiss francs (about $125,- 00O and getting an airport any how, found they had croWed too soon.
 The voters turned down a pro- posal to spend that much on the civilian half of an airport at Lu- cerne after the army offered to put up the other half for a military field.
 Lucerne hotels offered to put up the money anyhow and work was begun on it when the European war brought an army order ban ming all civilian flying over Swift zerland
 So Lucerne has no civilian air port, which is all right with the hotel owners too, for the war has kept many a foreign tourist out of Switzerland.

Maryland Farm Income
Expected 10 Improve
q, the Associated Press.

COLLEGE PARK, Nd, Nov. "A
more prosperous year for Maryland
farmers In l94l was predicted today
by Paul E. Nystrom, county agent
leader for the University of Mary
land Extension Service.
Government and other reports, he
said, indicate an improved domes-
tic demand for farm products,
higher general average of prices
and larger total income from mar
ketings.
However, increased costs of COM
modities and services used in farm
production, such as higher wages,
larger machinery costs, increased
costs of living, will cancel a part Of
the income gain"
The prosperity" Mr.. Nystrom
warned, may be short-lived, for
after the period of defense expend-
itures and war conditions are
over, there may come a tremendous
letdown and depressed conditions
such as we have not yet expert
enced."
Farmers standing the best chance
for increased income. he added, are
those producing for the domestic
market-dairy and poultry prod
ucts, wool, meats and some fruits
and vegetables"
