Great Britain was building houses 1t the unprecedented rate of more than 500 a day, 159,000 a year, when the eneral strike was declared, according to building reports just received from London. About 800,000 building crafts- men were at work, and there was a shortage of bricklayers, plasterers | and masons. Most of the new buildings consist of small private houses. age houses contain five or six rooms and_sell from $2.500 to $4,000. In Scotland several streets are being re- built, and three high-class apartment houses in New York style were being completed.

LUCHS. “There are many opinions now ex- stent to pulse of business activity in the Capital. There is no city in the United States of America where business is as firm as in Washington. Probably the best means of judging this is by the comparison of vacant homes in business locations in other with a_similar condition in I find that Washington vacancies than many other cities of equal size in this And, too, it is well to note point that the building opera- s now under and contem- plated in the Capital far exceed the activity in other metropolises of equal size. Both of these factors seem ery indicative of a healthy business | wih. There is no city in the United States that has as many natural advantages as Washington. The circulating cu rency in Washington is largely gov ernmeltal and is never influenced by the depressions of the financial or mer- cantile world. Statistics show that the Government's pay roll each 15 days grows steadily larger. This fact in itself insures the ever-growing de- of helpfully influende retail business. Washington is too slowly gr: its many resources. Its association buying public and should | with the United States Government attracts annually diplomatic and tiun- sient interest. As a headquarters for national institutions, it is without doubt the most desirably situated city in the country. Recent investigations show a surprising number of national institutions now having their perma- nent headquarters or representatives in Washington City. The historical background and desirable climate bring a great many people to Wash- ington in the course of a year, and, of course, with them comes an influx of business. v ngton is an ideal home city for the retired business man, for it not only allows him very definite con- nections with his financial interests but also provides for him a delightful atmosphere in which to live. If Washingtonians do not grasp and comm: alize thefr natural assets, we will awaken some day to find some other city attracting much of the present Washington enterprise. 1 do not believe that this will ever take place, for I feel that Washingtonians are a people interested and proud of their civic projects and advancements and that they will always be willing to lend a hand to make Washington not only the Capital of the United States but the Capital of the world— financially, economically and govern- mentally. This will be a reality if we awaken to and commerclalize the latent possibilities of Washington.

The sour cherry and the plum are just the right size for the small garden, where they may be !)Bed in the flower beds without cast- ing too much shade. The peach and the quince belong to this same small treo group, and have the additional beauty of unusually lovely flowers. The quince in bloom rivals the most beautiful flowering crab-apples which are grown only for their flowers. In the smallest of all gardens, those restricted in size by limited space, these small trees may be used as shade trees by reducing the whole scale, so that the trees look larger than they really are. In such a gar- den everything must be small: the paths, the pool, the flower beds, the flowers themselves, the garden seat, and the tree that shades it.
