It is obvious that the deer went
over the side and slid down the
wall, with several dogs sliding and
'unbling right behind him. Two OF
the dogs stopped on the ledge where
Bolt found them the next day.
There were only two spots on the
entire face Of the cliff that the slid
ing descent could have been made
without falling to death. The deer
happened to pick the right spot, but
even then it is remarkable that any

Building Pace
Held Up Well
in SO

The District managed to holo
its pace in home building during
1856 when almost the entire rest
Of the country was experiencing
a marked slackening.
The only State in which home
building volume was greater in
1856 than 1855 was Florida.
This was revealed by figures
that introduce a breakdown of
State estimates of nonfarm hous-
ing starts by the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics. Previously only nat
ional and regional series Of fig
ures have been published by the
bureau in this field.
During 1856, the District ran
UP $500 starts on dwelling units
and this equaled the figure set in
1855.
The national figure on dwell
ing units begun declined Is per
cent between 1855 and 1856 and
both Maryland and Virginia
showed greater percentages Of
decline over the same period.
In Maryland there were some
$4,000 units started in 1855 and
in 1856 only $4,000. to show a
drop of rs per cent between the
two years.
Virginia came closer to the
national rate Of decline. The
1855 volume of $4,000 units
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-25

dropped II per cent to 28,200
during 1856.
In Announcing this more de-
tailed geographical information.
the Labor Department said that
hereafter State estimates would
be published in its Construction
Review on a quarterly basis with
comparable data for the previous
year.
At present the State break
down covers 10 States and the
District. which together account
for rs per cent Of The nonfarm
housing started in the Nation
during 1854. 1855 and 1856. The
Department expects to expand
the coverage to include all States
as soon as 1t is possible to do so
with accurate figures.

I was taken to task recently
after one Of my talks before o
garden club for failure to include
in these weekly plans any intor-
nation on Identification of rear
foundation walls.
The back view Of most new
hSmes is anything but pleasing
and there is certainly Iced for
advice on the subject. This lack
OF establishment is most prob
ably due to lack of cash and
energy. Today's plans call for
only a small expenditure and
little work.
Here, as with most good land
scape settings. beauty is created
through a combination of we'll
chosen paintings and compatible
architectural features as points
of focal interest. The simple
garden bench and easily built
lattice work on the walls are as
necessary a part Of the picture
as the shrubs and flowers. One
without the other would be an
incomplete grouping.
Plant materials needed to
carry out the plan consist Of a
dwarf treet. 10 ornamental
shrubs. two climbing vines and
four or five 10-cent packages of
flower seeds.
The price might vary from as
little as $40 for the low cost list.
If small young plants were used.

expensive group containing

know, Of course, that there are writ
ten and spoken forms Of prayer that
are exceedingly helpful, but am also
keenly aware Of the danger Of
stereotype, in which we follow the
form Of words and lose the meaning.
It IS lovely thing to be part Of
devout family in which all, when they
reach the table together, bow their
heads simultaneously in silent prayer.
Then the father can pray his prayer
without dominating the child and the
child can say his prayer, without
troubling the father or mother.
Il must never Be supposed that
silent grace invokes any lack Of fam
lily communion. Though each prays
alone, each is also conscious Of the
unspoken prayers Of the Others.
Thus the family can in silent grace
demonstrate two things that are use
full: foeefheyHess and aio5eness.

lwould no more begin meal with
my family without saying grace"
, than ! would accept a gift from a
friend without saying Thank YOU.
Praying together gives the family a
cofesiveness and a common bond
that nothing else can. But it does
more. 1t instills faith in the hearts Of
the children. When the parents bow
their heads reverently before each
meal and thank their heavenly Father
for Iife's bounties. the child's faith in
God is strengthened. These little ses-
siohs Of prayer have profound and
lasting effect upon children. Grace is
a dignified and impressive testimony
that God is, and that He IS concerned
not only with our daily bread. but
with every aspect Of our lives.

. .

In the first place, grace, or something
like it, is one custom that is common TO
nearly all faiths, ancient or modern, East
or West, savage or civilized. In our own
culture, the number Of known graces is UNI
countable, since the whole concept IS that
Of a family prayer rather than formal one.
1t is by no means impious for family to
make up one Of their own, just as they wish
il to 60, and hand il down from generation
to generation.
Many families have done just that, though
most choose grace that is already in Gus
tom. Perhaps the best-knOwn Of all Eng
lish language graces is:
For What We are abOsf 10 receive, fhe
Lord make rs frn!y fhaskfsi,
for Chyisf's sake, Ases.
1t is also quite common for graces to be
in rhyme. One such is very charming
English grace, frequently spoken by chill
dren. II was written by John Cennick in
174l and remains favorite to this day:
ne YBGSgWb ~ Wv soOSeS AVVOs
Be here and everywhere adoTed.
These Meveies bless, and gram fhGs We
May feass in Paradise Nifk Thee.
Another favorite. entirely for children:
God Is eveaf, God is good.
We viii fhask Him for this food.
By His hand mast all be fed
Thanks be 10 God for daily bread.
Still another is lovely rhymed version Of
the most common Jewish grace:
We thank Thee, God, or king,
WHO made the world and everything.
From Osf the earth ThOs briasesf bread
By which all Thy ckildves are fed.

"Bless rs, o Lord, and fhese Thy
gifts which We have received orr Of
Thy bounty, through Chrisf Or
Lord. AmeH."
The above prayer, simple and short,
sums up much in its few words. II IS
q forceful, frequent reminder that we
are not alone in the battle Of life, but
have behind us always the all-power-
full Creator Of heaven and earth. He
is the Author Of all that we are, and
the loving Provider Of every mouthful
Of food we eat.
When said faithfully three times
day. whether over q hurried breakfast
at home, or sitting at a lunch counter,
or before a banquet at the Waldorf, a
prayer such as this can do much to
lift our minds above the distractions
Of daily life and keep them focused
on the real reason for our existence.
