Folk, who admits he was the y sheep" of the family, made s fortune in Oklahoma oil. Nine brothers and sisters, most of them who predicted he “would never amount to much” were each mailed tickets to Sand Springs and $600 in cash and invited to bring their fam- ilies to his hospitable Christmas hearth. Most of the relatives arrived to- night, the others were enroute and will be here tomorrow. “I want to bring all the joy to WITH THE There are few men who do not | wish to own thelr own homes. Thev naturally take keen interest in all matters that have a bearing on. such a happy prospect. These peo- ple will find in the Realtors—an organization founded on integrity and responsibility in the fleld of real estate transactions—a valuable medium in helping them acquire suitable property at fair prices, says the National Real Estate Journal The Realtor deals with the most fundamental of economic factors— namely, that of land. His interest therefore, lies in land values. These be affected by local move but in the long run they de- rend upon great waves of economic forces. His business therefors 13 affected by every large movement in the social and economic work!. Two great fundamental social in- stitutions—the family and the state —rest to a large degree on the isfactory solution of land prob- lems. The Realtor believes in his slogan, “Own your home’ to the extent that when homes are built the happiness, prosperity and stability of the, state are increased. Also. in so far as the Realtor helps in the development of this ideal, he ts a factor in the maintenance of the happiness and stability of the state; in so far as he hinders it, he helps to tear down the state. Eight Billions Behind. “There is a potential need for eight Dillion dollars worth of new building in the United States to- day,” declared §. W. Straus, emi- nent financier, ‘ “notwithstanding the fact that building operations this year are 25 per cent ahead of 1922. Last year the nation’s new volume of building was $4,000,000,- 000; this year’ it will be $5,000,000 000, so that it will require fully a year and one-half of the most in- tensive operations to make up the present shortage.” Zoning on Increase. More than 22,000,000 people, com- prising 40 per cent of the urban population of the United States live in 183 zoned cities, towns and vill cord! to a statement made public recently by the division of building and housing of the de partment of commerce. Neighborliness in the use of land is said to be the keynote of zoning. T home owner is protected froin thé intrusion: of the “junk yard, which for no good reason might be moved into his neighborhood, and business and shopping districts are protected against mo! factories. Industrial plants have greater free- dom in selecting sites convenient to good transportation, Such meas ures should provide for the use of the different kinds of land and dis- tricts within a city for the purposes to which they are best adapted, and for orderly growth of com- al and industrial districts ccomplish thelr purposes lating the height of build- the area of the land that they may cover, and the use to which they may be put in the different districts of the city or town. The ning ordinance is generally an auxiliary to the city plan, and helps to provide for the orderly growth of the city along lines that will bring the most satisfactory results to all concerned. B. & L. Associations. There are now more than 10,000 building and loan assostations in this country serving 7,000,000 peo- ple. These associations have assets in exc of $3.000,000,000. It is estimated that one-tenth of the ation of the United States lives in homes financed in part, ut by savings and loan com- Winter Building. Experience has shown that win- ter building is possible, and in most kinds of construction without sacri- fice of quality. There remain there- fore only considerations of economy. It would cost more to build in win: ter, were other factors the same, than in the warmer months.

These factors all favor winter building and may balance or outweigh the cost of heating and protection. But, someone will object, these factors depend for their very exist ence on the seasonal fluctuation. Were building operations to become uniform, they would disappear and there would be nothing to offset the very real costs of heating and pro- tection. That is true. The mies of winter building can econo: never completely eliminate the seasonal fluctuation In the building trades, for with it they would eliminate themselves.

Some years ago the last remain- ing farmer in a prosperous N York suburb, says the Wall Street Journal, bequeathed to his son his only property, 16 acres of land, a ram-shackle barn and one cow. The young recipient had no money to develop the land, and was at a lo: to know what to do-with his cow. whose habits he did not understand He finally decided to keep her as @ remembrance of his father and she grazed away contentedly.

Mother of Cubs Is Spared by Hunter RIDGWAY, Pa., —(United Press) —Somewhere in this great game- hunting country there is a bear family—three litt! cubs and an old mother-bear—who owe their lives to the sporting instincts of a hunter. William J. Garrison, one of the town's progressive citizens and a nimrod of repute, had raised his gun to shoot a large black bear, a valu- able prize for a hunter, when he raw three baby cubs, making their way through the brush toward the big bear. He withheld his fire and unseen to the bruin family, watched the youngsters muzzle the old bear while she affectionately cuffed first one, then the other. tunity to dispose of the land at $1,000 a lot, or $192,000 for the whole property. Based on this valuation, the taxes during the ten years would have amounted to something like $15,000, whereas be- cause of the cow the property had been given a farm classification, and had ben taxed during the period only $1,600, GIRLS IN YEAR JUST ENDING Los ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 2: (United Press)—Women and young girls disappeared in large numbers in Los Angeles during tho year just ended, according ta the statement of Mrs. Georgia Robinson of the ju- venile board and for many years a policewoman in the city. Over 5,000 girls and women from all classes of homes, rich and poor, are still on the books as missing during 1923, Probably a number of them have réturned and have not- had the po- lice notified, but Mrs, Robinson be- Neves the majority are still missing. The daily disappearance of wo- men and girls is cne of the greatest problems confronting the police de- partments, secret service workers, juvenile bureaus and all those who are near and dear to them, accord- ing to Mrs. Robinson. She attributes their digappearance to dissatisfaction. “Dissatisfaction in all its phases leads,” she says, *to women and girls leaving home— an overwhelming desire to have what a parent or husband cannot afford to provide; a yearning to get out into the world alone; to see life from its many other angles, which cannot be experienced in thelr own lttle sphere. It is a menacing dis satisfactidn so often, leads people out into the world in an endeavor to find happiness or to get away from some unexciting, unhappy condil- tions at home. “The general spirit of the pres ent age—freedom of life—causes boys and girls alike to feel that they are not afrai@ out in the wor'd alone and an innate something urges them to individual expression. “There is something in the air which tells them if we do not like our conditions, we can change them, and it is this frequently wrong use of this freedom that takes them into greater trouble. But the majority of girls who disappear are the pitiful ones who are known as delinquents. Most of them do not know better and this is the nation’s greatest Problem among youths.” “There is only one soluticn to the Probiem,” Mrs. Robinson concluded “more understanding parents, and Greater opportunity and freedom in the home surroundings and deeper love in the home circle.” ADJUSTMENT OF RATES ON WOOL IS URGED WASHINGTON, Dec. 22—Read- justment of freight rates on wool from points in the west to the At- ‘antic seaboard was urged by ex- aminers for the Interstate Commerce Commission in their-report today on an investigation of complaints: made by woolgrowers and shippers.
