L Predicts Good Year For Buildin.r And F oresees ManyImprc - - :nen ts It looks as though 1925 would be a good year for h‘mo building and home builders. Prices have stabilised. and all of the building trades' are working hard on an efficiency basis that will insure the receipt of good value~for ev ery building dollar spent. However there will be plenty of home building activity in most localities. The wise horns seekers will therefore make their plans early. and start before the big rush. says William A. Redford in American Builder. When we compare\ e cool. of building a home now with what it was :0 yeah ago, we a apt to draw back in amusement and conclude that it costs too much. But when we look a little closer and compare the modern. fully equipped homes of today. with the mere. shell of a house which most people were ntlefied with a gonoratioh use. we can easily see the reason for some of the extra cost. We sometimes hear it said that building in the old days had all the quality. and that nowadays nothing but cheap work is done. 8 1:! can.“ further-from the truth. lbw today would be willing to p with the crudlties and lack of comfort which marked even the best homes of 80 years ago. Those houses were big. we admit. They had also. but that was all—no plumbing. nor heating. nor lighting in the modern sense. And as for quality in the walls and the structure ibelf. we much prefer the presentday practice of co‘ncrete foundations. a water-proofed base- ment. insulation in the side walls and root to keep the heat in and the cold out and a liberal amount of structural steel bsaun and posts to pre- vent menus. The houses today are being built smaller and better. Less is being spent for ornament. but more for equipment—for bet- ter heating plants. plumbing installations. for lighting fixtures and for builder‘s hardware. In 1015 we are gdlng to see more homes oculppod with electrical refrigerators. and there will be a still further incrsaa in the number of electrical outlets in every room so that still more floor lamps and other lamps can be used conveniently. Nineteen twenty—five will see still further developments in radio. Builders should take note of this wonderfully popular marvel, end should build in wiring and outlets so that loud speakers or head-sets can be “plugged in" in various regs. taking their energy from a centrally plac- ed receiving set. Enterp ng manufacturers of electrical goods hme anticipated this need, and are ready with special radio outlets. ltadlo extension service to every room in a hotel or hospital. or to every apart- ment in a well kept apartment building will prove a wonderful attrac- tion. The same idea extended to private reeidencee will be appreciated allowing extensions to the nursery. upstairs bedrooms, basement some roomsnetc. Nineteen twenty-five will see the number of bathrooms and lentorles increased in the home. And there will be still further refinements in the plumbing fixtures and a more generous use of bathroom accessories—- porcelain and white enamel towel bare. soap dishes. glass holders, etc. Shower baths will be included. Bathrooms will be larger. Nineteen twenty-five will see the general adoption' of water soft- eners for homes in most of the hard-water sections. The cistern has prov- ed thoroughly unsatiefactory—n nuisance, often a menace to health. Counting the cost of building the cistern. and also the cost of pressure pumps and tanks to get the cistern water up to the kitchen, and to the second floor bathroom. cistern water proves very expensive. Water soft. enere of domestic also have been perfected. and can now be had at a rea. sonable price. They take the hardness out of the drinking water, and make it softer than rain water for washing. ‘ Nineteen twenty-five will see more attention paid to the kitchens, as to their arrangement hnd equipment for vsnlonm. efficiency and cheerfulness: Kitchen cabinets and cabinet us is to be built-in will tend .to hipplant the régulation pantry. Kitchen ‘door cabinets and package receivers. garbage incinerators. and garbage receivers will add to the case of housekeeping. With the movement toward smaller homes. every more feet of space becomes more important and valuable and many will include a Wag. space-saving bed or two in their plans tor the new home. The very best hotels are .o'ppcd with disappearing beds. dressing dooois.‘ Mule: wardrobes with tumbling clothes hangora, “a neat little combined; kitcnehette dining rooms. The best people occupy those hotel. apartments and willingly pay tied or use per month for u” privilege. do why not incorporate something of the same idea of efq. cisncy shampoos-saving into our home plans! a cloudy .fll clear ,her in the evening. _ “The Social Rebel" was com- pleted. so far as Betty was concern- ed. at 5le that afternoon. She sigh- ed with relief as she sat down in her dressing room to clean her feverish face of its coat of makeup; then she hurried home to apply another. but different one. She was in the midst of her dress- ing when the'telephons rang. so it devolved upon Alta to answer the call. "Betty!" came the cry through her closed door. 'Telephorie." Betty intuitively sensed ‘that it was Curtis. "I felt compelled to call up and ask why you aren't speaking to me any more." he said sweetly. OIWhy_II I “Don't deny it.

"I'll forgive you."' he continued. "if you’ll have dinner with me this evening." "Oh. I'm sorry. I‘d certainly love to, but I cannot possibly do so." "But you must—tell whoever has you dated up that you have kleig- eves or sleeping sickncu or some- thing." . "Oh. I just couldn’t. I'm sorry.” His suggestion. made in an insistent tone. made her angry. "Please do—" "I‘m sorry." she said for the last time. A"An'd please excuse me. but I‘m in a rush—" He didn't permit her to finish. "Please let me speak to Alta Berg then." - . His new tone surprised her. (To be continued.)

HUGHES (Copyright. 1920 A number of attempts have re- cently been made to interest small investors in high priced stocks by the device. of offering certificates representing a fractional part of one share. sometimes a tenth and some- times one-hundredth of a share. In these operations the broker or pro- moter buys a block of the original stock. Say for example it cells at 8500 a share. He deposits this stock with a bank or trust company ‘and issues against it one hundred new shares. sometimes called bank- ers shares. for each one share of the original stock. In this way each banker's share corresponds to one- hundredth. of an original share. So if the original flock cost the him ts plus the expense of print- ing the certificates and paying the trust company‘s too. He then offers =these bankers shuns at a price to net him aoprollt. which is perfectly fair. Now there are two points to be considered before buying any of these "bankers shares." The first is — DON’T PUT. OFF m... to sevo‘inoney me LONGER 7» youproerastinstotheharder itwillbetobegln.

In a general way you can decide the attractiveness of the proposition‘ by comparing what it would cost to buy one share of the original stock with the cost of one hundred of the bankers shares. The second point to bear in mind ' is that the same business risk at- taches to the bankers shares as to the original stock. The former is no better than the latter. in one respect it is not as good and that. is that there is always a better mar- ket for the real stock than for the certificates that represent only a . fraction of the stock. : In, other words you should first‘ make up your mind whether you can afford to take the chances which partnership in this particular bush. nose involves.
