mittee officials today planned to-
sponsor nightly organized sendoff
demonstrations for army inductees

Station.
Long advocating band-playing
and flag-waving farewells for boys
entering the service, committee
heads decided last night that there
was no time better than the
present to start such a program.
So they called the Wurlitzer Music
Company. which dismissed its stu
dent musician classes and donated
classes and instructors for the
evening.
They called the DSR which
donated a bus 10 carry the mu-

had left the station more than

demonstration,

Find Big Demand

A survey of leading cities by the
Wall Street Journal, shows
Lower priced homes ESPECIALLY
those in the $1,000 10 $4,000 claSsI-
fications) are in big demand. Most
war workers would prefer 10 rent
paying up TO $50 a week-but
many are forced TO buy homes be-
cause so few are available for
renting. Prices are definitely rang
ing upward in these lower priced
homes.
Medium priced homes $4,000 "a
S15.000) are frequently offered for
rent these days as white collar
men are moved about the country
as a result of the war It's largely
question of renting these places
however. The demand TO buy such
homes is not nearly as great as in
the lower brackets.
Expensive homes are harder thar
ever To sell, with income taxes
rising and the cost of maintenance
continuing 10 increase. Difficulty
of getting help is so severe in some
places that people are trying e
sell their large homes and buy
smaller ones; this has provided
some demand for medium priced
homes.

Some middle western cities with
a big wartime business find that
homes in the medium priced range
are doing pretty well. Detroit,
for instance, reports that in

changed hands last Monday al

house sold for Sl0500. Larger
homes (above 100000 in the
Crosse Pointe area continue 10 be
a drug on the market, however.
Many homes around there in the
$4,000 to $4,000 class have
changed ownership or tenancy this
year, as some people have moved
TO Washington and other business
executives have been moved into
the Detroit area. This city. of
course, is enjoying a tremendous
war business; employment tops
prewar times.
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards, in saying that
there is a very definite trend to-
ward smaller homes" adds that
prices of larger dwellings are
weakening. Big homes in the San

Budd Wheel Net

Higher Taxes
First HaIf-Yesr Profit
Seen 81 Share; Firm
10000 on War Work

PHILADELPHIA, June u -
n o tw h standing substantially
higher accrualS for taxes. earnings
of Budd Wheel Company for 1912
are running somewhat ahead of
1871. The company is operating
100 per cent on war work and il
is understood that the plant is
running three turns a day, or
working aroundsthe clock.
Indicative of fact that earnings
are holding up despite larger pro-
vision for federal taxes was the
recent declaration of dividend of
% cents on the common. payable
in July. This makes 50 cents de-
.clarcd out of earnings for the first
half of 1912 In 1871, Budd Wheel
paid a dividend of 90 cents in
December, 25 cents in August and
20 cents in January. The latter
payment, however, was charged
TO earnings for 1910, so that SIS
cents was actually paid out of
earnings of 194l.
For the first quarter of 1912
net profit was S4l0,432 equal to
~ cents a share on the common.
and it is anticipated that net for
the second quarter will exceed
the first three months so that
earnings for the half year may
approach or top 100000 or close
To 81 a share.
Net for the first hale of 1941
was S9l5.973, equal to "a cents
on the common, Figures for first
half Of 1871. however, are subject
TO revision due TO final enactment
of 1871 tax bill which necessitated
heavier tax accrualS in the last
half of the year. For instance, in
the first quarter of 1871 the com
.pany reported a net Of S47S.772.
equal TO 49 cents share, but with
the issuance of first quarter 1912
earnings, the 1871 figure was re-
vised to 1857 PAP equal to 36 cents
a share on the common.

rcriencing a record volume OF
beer sales. High rate of employ
ment and plenty of overtime pay
ments this year have brought a
gain of approximately II per cent
for the first five months over the
corresponding period of 1871.
In view of the fact that total
194l sales of Michigan brewers
were hut 100000 barrels below the
3 .097 .966- barrel record of 1897, il
is apparent thai 1872 beer sales

The trouble is that other things
are not equal and such factors as
