Investment builders in suburban boroughs are being urged to put up more email houses, with six rooms. There is a general demand for these homes from small families and newly married people. "I can find all the, eight and ten-room homes that dozens of people might want in Ben Avon.

Bellevue. Avalon and all the other suburbs, but when it comes to finding: dozens or -even one house of about six rooms, then we are up a tree," said a hunter of one of the small homes today. Builders generally are recognizing the fact that small can be rented or sold readily, and wherever the value of the land allows the erection of these comparatively small rent producers they; are being put up. The trouble is that land, in most of the leading residence -suburbs is becoming so valuable 1 the.ca Pittsburg'. and round-about be EKTRA PflHTS AlSOLOTELf fill! rri cause there" with the selection, the quality and the prices.

Calhoun of Mary-ville, has been called to superintend the work of the Pittsburg interdenominational evangelistic committee. At a meeting of the committee in the Y. M. C. A.

yesterday a report of the finance committee was made, and it was decided formally to extend a call to Dr. Calhoun at a salary of $2,500 a year. Dr. Calhoun is well-known here, as he was 11 years pastor of the Home-wood Avenue Presbyterian Church. It is the purpose of the committee to hold evangelistic meetings In shops and factories of the city and the mines adjacent to Pittsburg.

Aside from this, tent meetings will be held during th( summer and permanent rescue work will be organized. The committee representing 14 denominations Is also taking steps to effect a permanent organization and get a charter. Officers will be established downtown. WM laird fn 622 Liberty Ave By the hundreds the young Americans who are going to help make thia country the greatest in the world In time, have marched merrily through The Press office today and claimed the thousands of prizes they won in the Washington Essay and 'Story Contest. The Press office will probably not hold such a happy and such a monster gathering again for many months.

Every girl and boy is happy in the thought that he or she has been a winner in this big contest. The girls and boys have come with their mothers and their fathers, or other relatives, and some of them have come alone. The Press had announced that the prizes be ready for distribution at 10 o'clock, but great crowds of the young folks began assembling at the office before that hour, and for their convenience the distribution was started earlier than the scheduled hour. And as fast as one prize winner has left the office there have been two to take his or her place. It has been a continual stream of happiness flowing in at the front door of The Press.

And how the faces of those winners have lighted up on catching sight of the pretty medals and the nicely found atlases, handed out by the thousands. The sight, of those laugnlng, shouting youngsters has been enough reward for having increased the prize list to 2,500. The girls and boys must have felt repaid for their work on their essays and stories when they got possession of the dandy copies of Hammond's Handy Atlas of the World, and the medals with the bust of George Washington upon them. So proud were many of the young folks with their prizes that they immediately placed the medals upon the lapels of their coats and the front of their The downtown section of the city has been filled with the merry prize winners resplendent in their new medals tied with the national colors. Every girl and boy in the contest has seemed delighted with his or her prizes, and the older folks who accompanied them have looked with almost envious eyes at the handsome trophies of the contest.

We imagine that a lot of the grown folks would have been pleased themselves withthe presents. Judging by the pleased expression upon their faces. Most of the prize winners have been in a holiday spirit and have shouted to each other with glee and exchanged views with each other of the medals and books. They there were the more studious youngsters who took the prize winning very seriously, and who exchanged ideas with their fellow contestants about how they had worked for their honor. Ail in all it has been a merry day for everybody concerned.

The Press attaches who had been assigned the task of giving out the medals and books, say they have enjoyed it more than the young people themselves. It has been a real pleasure to just look upon so many fresh young and every one of them covered with smiles. There has been perfect order despite the big crowd. The prize winners each had the letter sent them by The Press, and as fast as they presented their letters the prizes have been handed over to them and they have made their way to the door. It has been a splendid ending for one of the most splendid contests ever conducted by The Press.

The girls and boys turned out really good and readable stories and essays, and their work is a credit to the public schools. Many teachers, who took such lively interest in this The object of the consolidation 1 tn 406-408 Market St. 514 Smithfield St. 409 Fifth Ave. I Leading and Largest Diamond.

Wateh, and Jewelry Store la Pittsburg Special Collection of Rosariss better the service and usefulness of the stores through a strong and economical, centralized management. In the future the buying will be done for the entire organization at one and the same time, thereby effecting large savings and economies. The selling end of the business will also be conducted by a strong, central organization, thereby insuring to customers of the house the same advantages and treatment at the hands of the company's smallest stores and most remote agencies, that would accrue to them were they dealing with its largest stores. With Its immense capital, with its gigantic buying power, when centralized in competent hands, and the same policy and advantages accruing uniformly alike throughout every store and agency, it is safe to predict a still deeper hold upon the public it will serve than the strong position the Frederick'name has continuously maintained during the twenty-five years it has been before the music-loving public. The consolidation takes place April 1.

In the meantime the various stores wili hold large sales, looking toward reducing stocks and otherwise putting their "house in order" preparatory to the amalgamation.
