Neglected Repairs Cause
Heavier Property Costs
While property ownership is a
very stable and attractive invest
ment, two serious items must be
kept in mind, according to G.
DeGelleke, director of the Central
States Division of the American In
stitute of Architects. They are:
1. Depreciation, due to the wear
ing out of the buildings, which re
duces their values.
2. Obsolescence, due to buildings
not meeting the requirements of the
times and therefore not producing
reasonable income.
"Neglecting repairs results in an
accumulation of expense which is a
great deal larger than the cost of
repairs as required from time to
time" Mr. DeGelleke says. "In
some cases it necessitates recon?
structing parts of the buildings.
'The condition of buildings have
a great effect upon the people who
occupy them and when well taken
care of, create more healthful con
ditions, more confidence and con
tentment, strengthen ideals, and in
tensify interest in homes. Thus
will be developed better citizens
physically, mentally and morally.
"People are affected by the con
dition of the buildings they occupy
fully as much as they are by the
clothes they wear, their associates
and their manner of life."
The National Housing Act, Mr.
DeGelleke declared, provides the
ways and means for owners of
property to save the values of
their investments, and while bene
fitting themselves they also provide
work and income for a great body
of their fellow men.

Camp-fire Dreams
BY MEREDITH A. JOHNSTON
Dedicated to Miw Shutt.
"Camp-fire dreams" Yes, but
they're sweet to me -
When the logs in the fire burn
merrily,
When the frosty winds turn the
leaves to gokh
Then my old heart leaps like a
lion bold.
"Camp-fire dreams" Yes, when my
old pipe's lit,
And the smoke curls upward; the
fancies flit
'Till a dream face out of the long
ago
Smiles with her eyes and cheeks
aglow.
"Ah, camp-fire dreams" What
would a man do
Without his camp-fire dreams when
the smoke curls blue?
