In 16 out of every. 100 cities, the check-up showed rents They’re rising in only 10 out of every 100 The tendency of prices, through the centuries, is to travei in cycles of about 50 years apiece. Prices rise for, roughly,( Then they fall for 30 years. Instead, they zig-zag up and down — much like the teeth of a saw placed at an inclined angle. Up and down, up and down—gradually sinking to normal. That’s what happened after the Napoleonic and Americar, Civil wars.

Half-way grade of accommodations averages $10 a room. The bottom-grade rents for $4 a room. In cities of 250,000 population and over, monthly rent ranges from $25 a room down to $5, with $10 a room for sec- ond-grade housing. There’s not much for rent between the $25 and $10 grades. The real estate association says this is because any one who can afford more than $10 a room is sat- isfied only with the very best. i Apparently the only thing that can drive rents down.is building as many homes as are needed.

But nary a hair of him could they see anywhere. It seemed as though the earth must have opened up and swallowed him. “I wonder if Wasp Weasel—” be- gan Nancy, a dreadful thought com- ing into her mind. ‘ “There's something, WHat’s thet?” They had come to the edge of the creek and there lay the lard on the bank wrapped in a large green leaf. But no Cutie, and no paper, and no little wooden holder! t “What do you suppose can have } happened to him?” she cried. “Cutie, - oh, Cutie, Where are you?” Just then Mosey Mud Turtle, poked his head out of the water. “Are you looking for somebody?” ‘he asked. “If it happens to be Cutiey { 3 Cottontail, I saw him sailing off in j a boat two hours ago.” Nick knew now why Cutie war. so anxious to have the lard in a wooden thing “shapped like a boat.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) , oe es | GF sins gs War clouds are hovering over Eu- rope, Asia and Africa, and the sil- ver lining to a war cloud has never been found. _ With so many men out on strike in Germany ‘this summer the fish are going to have a hard season.
