HIGHWAY IS SPEECH TOPIC
 CHAMBER
MalDonald Tells of Latest Plans for Construction
 of Road 10 States

There is such thing as win ming an argument and losing Al aska,' said Donald Macdonald, Al aska member of the International Highway Commission, at the Jul neau Chamber of Commerce meet ing at the Baranof Hotel this noon Macdonald was speaking to the Chamber on the proposed $25 ,000,- GOO highway from Alaska through Canada to the United States.
 Macdonald explained that pres ent plans call for a 25foot wide road bed to cost approximately $20,00O 6 mile and said that he has never seen a project of simi- lar length that has so few ob- stacles. Explaining that the high est elevation on the proposed high way is only 4,400 feet, he said that the road could easily be kept open year-round.
 Spur to Juneau
 The Fairbanks Scotsman spoke of the possibility of running a spur to Juneau from the road, a line which would connect the cap ital with the States by overland transportation. He claimed that supplies could be sent from Se- attle to Fairbanks in two days on tho 11ioIuau
 Using Canadian Engineer map to illustrate his talk, Mac Donald explained to the Chamber that the highway is in a straight line, follows the route of airplane flight from the States, and is surveyed to be constructed on the lowest altitude possible
 He spoke of the value of the highway as a defense measure, and quoted General Simon B. Buckner on the subject He claimed that if Alaska does not get the highway it will be in very serious spot. , And then, If we find that we do not need the highway for defense purposes. we still have fine high way for the expansion of the Ter ritory"
 Only One Bridge
 Only one bridge is planned for the route. that crossing the Stikine River. The estimated cost of the structure is $300,000. Macdonald plans to leave for Washington, D. C., within the next few days for business connected with the In- ternational Highway Commission and will return to his Fairbanks home after his trip. He said that this trip to Juneau was his first in almost l2 years.

Urban Foreclosures
In 1910 Reported
Lowest in "A Years
Widespread improvement
In Situation includes
D. c. and Nearby Stotes

Fewer urban people lost their
homes through foreclosure in 1910
than in any year since 1926. a IA
year low record being established,
it was reported today by economists
of the Federal Home Lean Bank
Board
Such foreclosures on non-farm
property by all types of mortgage
lenders totaled 1870 in 1910, Is per
cent fewer than the 100,961 in 1899.
The number of foreclosures was
less In each month during the past
year than in the corresponding
month of 1899. The improvement
in the foreclosure situation was
widespread, both geographically
and with respect to the communities
of the various sizes, the Boards
division of research and statistics
said.
In the District of Columbia there
were only 324 foreclosures in 1910
as compared to 357 the year before,
drop of more than go per cent.
Virginia foreclosures dropped 10
per cent from 1889 to 1910, or from
1919 to 1905 In Maryland there
was a decline of Sc per cent in
foreclosures. or from 1,739 to 1912.
For the past six years foreclosures
have been declining in the Capital
area.

need to be the over-dressed crea-
tions of 100 years ago, with large
curtains to keep of the drafts-but
may have a sheer net ruffle around
the top with a matching one below
the bedspread.
The pleasure of draped bed lies
in the fact it looks so spic and span,
so that 1t is wise in planning the
skirts to make them so they will
snap on and off readily for launder-
ing. This may be accomplished with
snap tape. by the yard. or draw
tapes which go through the wash

Finger Pointing Hints

Finger painting, so popular with
the children, may also be employed
by grownups to good advantage in
the making of decorated papers in
which to wrap gifts. Use plain
brown paper that is not too alb
sorbent, or the regular finger paint
paper and paints prepared especially
for the purpose. With the fingers,
all manner of free-hand designs
may be executed. BY using ruler,
propped above the wet paper with
blocks at each end. straight lines
can be insured. With comb cut
from cardboard, interesting striped
and plaided effects may be achieved.

which cannot be purchased, or
where you have acquired ground,
you may be wise to build your own
home But for the average person
it is better to buy completed house.
1t will save you time and trouble
and the cost will be about the same
Because of the unprecedented
residential building during the last
five years, there is now an unusually
wide choice of new houses available.
At least 5000 new finished homes
are for sale in Washington and the
surrounding area. In 1885 there
were not over four or five hundred

Takes Only Stroke of Pen.
Assuming that you are financially

factory. Builders use designs and
equipment which trial and error
have proved to fit the needs of
most home buyers.
You may think that it is cheaper
to build your own house according
to your own plans and specifications
than it would be to buy a completed
home from an operative builder.
You may have seen a house which
can be built for $4,000 and a similar
completed house is priced at, say,
$1,000
The Price DifferentiaI.
What then makes this price off
ference? There are many items of
expense that go into a completed
home that are not part of the con-
tract price to build that house.
Here are a few of them:

dwellings as compared with 53 in
1899. Back in the depression year
the rate was 1873 per 1000 dwell
ings.
Usually there is a seasonal in
crease in foreclosures from Novem-
ber to December, but in 1910, De-
cember foreclosures were per cent
below November, making the index
for December 29.4 or 0.6 per cent
below the average month of 1926.
Officials pointed to this contrast to
show the progressively excellent
foreclosure situation.

ing a house does not include the
cost of lot. In this particular case
the lot will probably cost at least
$500 to $700.
Financing-It is necessary to
finance a house during its period
of construction. Since few builders
or owners have the cash to pay the
bills as the house goes up, practically
everybody secures a building loan.
Fees are charged to make these
loans and interest must be paid
while the house is being built.
Title-The title for the ground
must be searched, another expense
Fees-A survey and plat of the
lot must be secured. Sewer, water
and gas must be run into the house.
For each of these services a permit
is required. And these are by no
means all the fees.
Special assessments Street, side
walk. curbing and alley may have to
be put down. All this requires the
securing of special permits and the
levying of special assessments, which
in the case of a 50-foot lot in the
District may run as much as 5000
or $500.
Architect:-Th contract price for
building a house does not include
the architects charges.
Taxes-During the course of con-
struction, the lot and perhaps the
house is subject to taxation.
Details Handled by Builder
Some of the items listed here may
be included in the contract price of
your house. Whether included or
not this list gives you some idea Of
the many things which have been
attended to and paid for, by the
operative builder, who buys the
ground, subdivides, finances, designs
and builds whole communities of
new homes ready for occupancy.

upon a design or plan of house
