Prize-Winning Essay. ‘The prize-winning essay, by Julian Capers, jr., follows: Home “ownership confers incalculable benefits upon the individual and upon the community. The family is the unit of community life. The home is the keystone which supports its arch. Home ownership tends to prevent disintegration of the family by furnishing an ideal setting for normal, permanent domestic exist- ence. During the formative period following marriage, in the struggle to acquire a home, minor discords are submerged as men and women make individual adjustments and compro- mises from which eventually grow the harmonious family unit. Divorce courts divide “property” between 10 couples who own automobiles for one who own a home. Home ownership encourages the highest aim of normal domestic life— parenthood. The rearing of children in ires in an atmosphere of stability and perma- nence engendered by the knowledge the children will be sheltered and protected under their own rooftree. It is the foundation of the individual financial structure. Because it may be financed largely from funds that would be spent for rented shelter, a home is the easlest investment to make. It is most certain of all to show actual en- hancement—aside from the rental use, cultural and other intangible returns. ‘The systematic saving of a stipulated sum for home payments creates an en- during savings habit and develops a thrifty manner of lving. It is least speculative of all investments. Returns begin immediately. And it may be cheaply absolutely safeguarded against loss, through fire insurance and a “m & life policy. tial, patriotic citizen- by home ownership. Above—William T.

TURKISH EMBASSY - LEASES LEE HOME Handsome Residence Massachusetts Avenue to Be Diplomats’ Town House. Mouhtar Bey, Ambassador of Turkey 0 the United States, who recently took up his official duties in the National Capital, today authorized the an- nouncement that his government had leased the palatial residence of Mrs. Arthur Lee at avenue as the town house and chan- cery office of the Turkish embassy here. ‘The contract for the leasing of the Lee home, which is located a block above Scott Circle, was signed yester- day and the Ambassador and his staff plan to occupy the place beginning Feb- ruary 1. The lease runs to December 1, 1930. ‘The new embassy bulldln? is a four- story buff brick structure of impressive architectural design, containing 12 large n rooms believed adequate in size afd well adapted to the receptions and officlal business of the embassy. It is located near the Canadian legation and the Belgian embassy. Mrs. Lee, the owner of the property, is the daughter ginia. She has owned the residence for more than 25 years. ‘The leasing of the Lee home gives the Turkish Ambassador’s staff the use of two embassy quarters here, the town house and “Airlie,” the country estate of the late Rudolph Kauffmann, lo- cated on Military road overlooking Rock Creek Park, which has been leased to the Ambassador for usé as a Summer residence as well as for social functions. Arrangements for the leasing of the Lee home were made through the office of the real estate firm of Sandoz, Inc., which also handled the leasing of Alrlie, the country estate. ‘The first floor of the Turkish embassy contains a large reception hall, drawing room, library and a dining room which many ‘l,\‘l detl::: &t‘ "hfm Oflv{;mmen! which Arant 'm rty such own- ership symbolizes.

With each member a willing yeoman sailing the craft over early shoals of sacrifice and debt, the good ship “Home" reaches harbor bearing price- les cargoes of years rich in family ties, pride and comradery. Even the much maligned “younger generation” provides trustworthy saflors when youthful hearts are tuned beside the home hearth, Community and civic pride are by- products of home ownership, and thus the home owner become a community asset. Not only does he improve his own property, but he lends conscientious assistance to the betterment of local health, educational, transportation and architectural conditions.
