Local real estate and bullding men are watching with approval the work being accomplished by Secretary Hoover's division of housing and building in the way of standardising building codes, lessening waste in manufacture of materials used In construction and In studying zoning laws. For several years there has been de- veloping a feeling that some agency of the federal government should in- terest itself in bullding and housing. Congress made an fppropriation for such activities for the year 1921-1932. The act appropriating the fund says, among other things, “that much of this sum as.necessary shall be used ‘to eollect and disseminate such sclentific, practical, and statis- tical Information as may be procured, showing or tending to show approved methods in bullding, planning and construction, standardization aend adaptabillty of structural units, in- cluding building materlals and codes, economy in the manufacture and util- ization of building materials and sup- plies, and such other matters as may tend to encousage, improve and cheapen construction and housin Accordingly, Secretary Hoover cre- ated the division of “bullding and housing, which co-operates with all groups interested in housing and con- struction, such as architects, bullders, bullding material producers and deal- ers, bullding trades labor, contractors, " THE EVENING STAR, WAS ¢ HINGTON, D. O. |BANKERS’ ASSOCIATION Residence at 3415 Woodley road which was purchased this week by Joseph B. Trew through Walter A. Brown's office. builders' exchanges, realtors, bullding [ and loan assoclations, bullding in- spectors, city officials and others. The division has helped local com- munities in successfully solving their housing problems. It collects and publishes monthly prices of twenty- four items of building materials as paid by contractors in different citles. It also makes reports on bullding actlvity, such as building permits and contracts awarded. and on general building and housing conditions in the country. 5 Mr. Hoover has appointed two main committees which co-operate with the division of building and housing. The advisory committee on building codes, with a subcommittee on plumbing, is drafting minimum code requirements for bullding construction. The ad- visory committee on zoning is making studies of state enabling acts and zoning ordinances. Its reports should be of district aid to communities in- terested in the promotion of the public wellfnr: and the protection of property values. DAVIS SETTLES STRIKE ON OWN MONUMENT By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 13.—Secretary of Labor Davis has just settled, through his own personal effort, a strike of 150 building workers who are en- gaged in erecting a monument dedi- cated to Mr. Davis himself at Moose Heart, Ills, near here. The walkout of the men lasted four days, after row between buillding trades unions in the territory around Moose Heart, where the monument is being erected by the Moose Lodge as a tribute to it's organizer. The masons’ union in the territory withdrew from the general union council of building trades, and the workmen on varlous construction jobs where masons were employed then struck. Secretary Davis on arriving at Moose Heart last week called in various union representatives for a confer- ence and as the masons declared they would continue the fight, the Secre- tary put it up to the other crafts to get enough non-union masons to allow the work to proceed. The other unions were successful in finding enough men for the purpose, and then the masons’ union, withdrew its order prohibiting its own members from going on with the memorial. accordingly started Tuesday and Secretary Davis returned to Wash- ington, M”1d6“ Fl T Improvements ARTESIAN WA above streets, MODERN , FINE STREETS, With Five-year-Old All thess MODERN 14 Alexan ‘Work | Pe PURE TER from well 255 feet deep, pumped by automatio electric system to 25,000-gallon tank at elevation of 100 feet SBEWER SYSTEM, With Outlet to Potomas River, Brick Base 3 and Cement Sldewalks and Fine Grass Parking.

You know Johnny can sit very straight when he wants to. Johnny Chuck was keeping watch. He was watching for possible | f danger. Of course it s nothing un- usual for Johnny Chuck to sit up and keep watch for danger. He does it more or less every day. The queer thing about it this time was that he wasn't doing it for himself or for any of his family. I don't suppose he would have admitted that he Wwas keeping watch. But he was, and he was doing it for a stray baby of one of his nelghbors. Just a little way from him was Peter Rabbit's favorite patch of sweet clover. At least it used to be Peters favorite patch.

Johnny Chuck knew this. He knew that that little scamp had run away, or fad wandcred away, and it wor- rled him. That was why he was keeping watch. He couldn’t bear to think of harm coming to that inno- cent littlo stray Rabbit. “If that were one of my babies I would know what to do,” said Johnny to hfmself. “I would go out there and send him home as fast as his Mttle exs could take him. But if I show myself to that little scamp out there, I'm sure he will be so frightened that he will be just as likely to run in the wrong dircction as in the right. He never has seen me and I probaBly would look like a terrible fellow to| him. I don't suppose he has ever seen anybody but his father and mother. Porhaps nothing will happen to him. Probably when he has eaten enough clover he will scamper back to. the dear Old Briar Patch.

The council went on record as recognizing the right of labor to unionize for mutual protection, but declared itself as against any abro- iation of the right of the individual | fo work for whom he pleases and | the employer to hire whom hei please % that he had forgotten everything, for he was such a very little fellow that he knew nothing of the Great World and €0 had nothing to forget. He thought of nothing but that swdet clover and how good it tasted. He didn't understand that it was a very dangerous thing for a baby Rabbit to go outside the dear Old Briar| Patch slone. He hadn’t lived long | enough to have met danger in any | form. To him the whole Great World was simply a wonderful and beautiful place. When he had eaten until he simply couldn't swallow another bit of tE - der, sweet clover he grew sleepy. You know there {8 nothing quite equal to a full stomach to make one sleepy. Of course he should have hurried right back to the dear Old Briar Patch. Had he known anything about the Great World that is what he would have done. But he aidn't know anything about the Great World and he didn’t go back to the dear Old Briar Patch. He sat up. for a look around. Then what did he do but lie down in that patch of sweet clover. It was soft and comfortable and very nice there. It was much more com- fortable than his bed in the dear Old Briar Patch. In not much more than a couple winks that stray little Rabbit was asleep. “Well of all things!" exclaimed Johnny Chuck as he sat on his door- step keeping watch. r i FAVOR 3-CENT REBATE.
