REAL ESTATE NEWS OF
NATIONAL INPORTANCE
(Judge)
.An important transaction in
'yolving one of the choice mansions
in the exclusive residential district
of Washington is about to be con
summated. The horse, a large co
lonial structure with a, frontage and
spacious Ricunds on Pennsylvania
Avenue, has long been a show place
for visitors. The Luilciing combines
a dignified and iiiipt ive exterior
with ltirgo. airy, w lHivthted rooms,
and all the modern conveniences, in
cluding hot and cold conference
rooms and other facilities especially
suited to high Government officials.
According to reports in well-in-formed
realty quarters, the mansion is
about to be placed on the market.
The present tenants, it is understood,
are planning to vacate the premises
upon the expiration of their lease,
March 4, 1921. v '
One report has i't that the build
ing is to be remodelled into a num
ber of small apartments to accomo
date the large number of would-be
tenants who have made known their
desire to reside in that part of Wash
Mneton. This, however, is authori-
ittntivplv denied The hnildinsr will
continue as in the pasttobe used as
in the past to be used-as a private
dwelling.
Because of the great demand, lit
tle difficulty isexpected in obtaining
a desirable future occupant. The
owner is said to be looking around
for a tenant of good character and
national reputtion, who not only will
find the atmosphere of the national
capital congenial but can be relied
on to sign a four-year lease on the
property with the customary privi
lege cf renewal on the same terms
for another four. No indication as
i to the identity of the next tenant
) is as yet. forthcoming. Because of
'its unique location and equipment,
' however, it can be stated that the
'building is certain to be taken by
some ' one high in the national Gov
ernment.

f throughout the country Quite a num
ber of people seem to see in the ap
proach of a panic.
The Mechanics and Rlctal National
'Bank of New York City, addressing
itself to the subject, askes: "How
Far Will Prices Fall?" The bank
says that ,th"-j,;li a "Ctat;o:is of some
special artklts doubtless move
contrary to the VAo, the general le
vel seems to have reached the tiood,
and a definite recession is indicated.
The present turn "jackward, however,
is not likely to be as great as appears
to be imagined in many quarters, a
'decline brought about by the forced
sale of goods through credit scarcity
is in its very nature temporary. And
'such a rush of buying as followed
'recent price cuts in many cities cer
tainly does not pressage further de-
rclines.
There are numerous forces pulling
'both ways at prices. Tending to
pull them down are the shortage of
credit, which may continue to force
some goods on the market; the ec
onomy movement; the protest again
'st high prices; the falling off in pur-
llMllllM
i pee Jcraoi I
chasing 'power of people who had
sold their Liberty bonds and consum
ed accumulated savings; and finally,
the very belief that prices are due
for a decline.
Tending to keep prices up are the
continued shortages of many com
modities, with little prospect for re
lief; the deficiency of railroad equip
ment, which helps to create a short
age of all kinds of goods at the
points at which they are wanted, and
the disappointing outlook for lead
ing crops, such as wheat and cotton,
with the prospect of poor crops in
general because of the farm labor
shortage. Also tending to hold pric
es up are the high costs of produc
tion, high wages,' and the labor
shortage which works at the same
time to maintain high wages and to
limit production.
The wanting of what one has
not often keeps one from usins what
one has.
Under a comnlete agreement
reached by Senate and House . con
ferees the naval budget for next
year was fixed at $436,000,000.
Loss from fire in the United
States in 1919,. totaled $325,000,
000, compared with the $350,000,
000 in 1918.

NOW cars are every
where. The horses
have gotten used to them
and so has everybody else.
Think of it ! This year the
American people will spend
nearly a billion dollars on
tires alone.
Tires are. one of the big
gest items on the car owner's
bills.
u ;
Hardly a Saturday, when
Vou motorists drop ' in to
"tune up" for a Sunday trip,
that one or more of you
doesn't tell us something of
value to our business. Sooner
or later it comes back to you
in Service.
Service is what the car
owners of this-community
are looking for nowadays..
And especially thosmall
car owners, who put service
first in figuring their motor
ing expenditures.
Just because a man has a
moderate - price car is no
reason why he should get any
less serVice out of his tires.
We believe that the man
with the small car is entitled
to just as good tire service
as the man with the big car
and both are entitled to the
bes t tire service they can get.
That's why we represent
U. S. Tires in this, commu
nity, v
And why 'more car owners
large and small are com
ing to us every day for U. S.
Tires. y

about, tires. We're here to
help you get the kind of tires
you want.
