Porter and Stout
Are Ale Variations

LONDON.-Porter and stout
are variations of ale. Porter is
brewed with some dark malt to
produce drink sweeter and less
hoppy than regular ale. Stout
is still sweeter, as well as
stronger, darker and heavier: it
has a marked flavor of malt.
Both are far more popular in
Great Britain and the dominions
than in the United States.

1855 Building
Sets AII-Ti11e
Dollar High

Contract awards for future con-
struction listed in the Dodge Re-
ports in December and for the
whole of 1855 set several new
high dollar records, F. w. Dodge
Corp. announced this week. The
reports cover the 81 states east
of the Rockies.
The years total of 1923, 745, 277,-
600 was an all-time high; 20 per-
cent higher than the 1854 total
which itself broke all previous
records.
Last year was the tenth sue
cessive year of new record vol
umes. 1t set new records in all
three of F. w. Dodge's basic clas-
sifications; non-residential, resi-
Dental, and heavy engineering.
The residential classification hur-
died the 10 billion mark for the
first time in Dodge history.
December set the top mark for
any December, at $1,920,754, 900;
up five percent from December
of 1854. Both the non-residential
and heavy engineering classified
tons set new December records.
Residential contracts in dollars
were the second largest for any
December yet recorded.
Striking features of the year
1855 were as follows" said Thorn
as S. Holden, Dodge's vice chair
man:
"In two months last spring re-
sidential contract figures went
above the billion dollar mark for
the first time. In three other
months early last year the con-
tracts were quite close to the bill
lion mark. A moderate leveling
off in housing contracts and
starts during the latter part of
the year came about largely as
a result of frightened credit.
"The sheer extent of the 20
percent gain in the total Dodge
figure over 1854 is worthy of note.
The gain of 1854 over 1853 was
only 13 percent. Furthermore, it
is also noteworthy that all three
of our major classifications - re-
sidential, non-residential and
heavy engineering showed
nearly equal percentage gains
over 1854; each gaining almost
exactly one-fifth.

quiet title to Lot II in Block IA
of the subdivision of land in
Montgomery County known as
"Glen Echo Heights" under the
provisions of Article 16, Section
131A of the Annotated Code of
Maryland.
The Bill states in substance
that the plaintiff, Mary F. Sands,
and her husband, Clarence w.
Sands, who has been adjudged
an incompetent by the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County in
the cause known as No. 1921
Equity, are the owners of said
Lot II, having acquired title
thereto from Clarence o. Webb
ct ux by deed dated April %,
1920, recorded among the land
records of Montgomery County in
Liber 292 at folio 1876; that Mary
F. Sands and Clarence w. Sands
have been in constructive and
peaceable possession of said Lot
II under color of title as afore-
said, and under claim of right by
reason of open, notorious and ad-
verse possession and occupation
of said Lot II for more than
twenty years.
That the defendants named in
this suit appear of record to have
some hostile outstanding claim
to said Lot IL, or part of said
lot, which claim appears to be a
cloud on the title to said lot, to
wit, there is on record in Liber
210 at folio 382, one of the land
records of Montgomery County,
a deed dated December 81, 1909,
which purports and attempts to

ton of said Lot II.
That no action has been taken
by said defendants, their heirs,
devisees or personal representa-
tiveS, to enter upon or recover
said lot for more than 20 years,
and that no action at law or in
equity has been instituted to en-
force or test the validity of the
defendants outstanding claim;
that said claim is not now being
actively asserted, nor has it in
the past; and that the named de-
PENDANTS are the sole persons
who appear of record, claim or
are claimed to have any outstand-
ing rights in and to said Lot
hostile to the plaintiffs rights.
The Bill prays the Court to
declare that the plaintiffs have
absolute ownership in said Lot
II, and that the defendants, their
heirs, devisees and personal rep
resentatives be enjoined from
thereafter asserting any claim of
ownership or interest in said Lot.
