Williams. 617 Prrscott Avenue, correspondent Phone 6920. New York Pastor Addresses Session poem In French, which needed no translator to picture its changing mood.

A delicate piece, through the mind and voice of Miss Skinner, it became the clarion call of the rushing trades, and faded, softly to the whisper of a caressing breese. In her group of sketches. Miss Skinner was a sophisticated and brightly gay; naive and profoundly simple: malicious, humorous and poignant by turn, but always, she was graceful, and human. Her characters were no mere creatures of the imagination; they loved, laughed, cried, were gallant, pitiful, mean. In other words, they lived.

Miss Skinner needed no costuming or change of makeup, but through expression, gesture, and above all, voice, she gave her Interpretations authenticity. After witnessing Just one of Miss Thomas F. Fadden, Well Known Merchant, Dies BLAKELY, Oct. 6. Thomas P.

Multigraphing Addressing Mailing Partridge WirthCo. Coal Exchange BIdg. 2 8033 The The In Real Estate Gordon Expects Expan sion in Activities, in Scranton At no tin durics the part svera! years have uid ligations pointed so den toward a sustained expansion of activity In the neal estate field.

AH of the factors which are bringing this bout are manifesting themselves more and more dearly, Harry M. Gordon. local realtor, said yesterday in the sec ond of a series of interviews on real es tate conditions here. 'The first step necessary to a sus tsined advance in realty is a deep, conscious desire for home ownership." Mr Gordon said. "This desire can be ac tuated on bv the knowledge that ownership will result in definite sub ctantial advantage.

"Those advantages exist today. Prices are definitely risir and the purchase of chosen real estate is one of the soundest investments. Rents are rising also, and the time is fast approachirwt when it will be no longer cheaper to rent a home than to own one. "Another advantage to be gained by heme ownership is the security it accords. With prices advancing, it is becoming apparent that outright ownership of a home is a definite form of Insurance against excessive living cos's Jater on.

"However, these points would be of little weight were the desire to own a home lacking. A few years ago they were: today they are not, "In the first agrciulture and Industry are reviving in all sections of the country. Today a vastly greater Rumber of people are able to own homes than a short Ume ago. For example, according to the Department of Commerce figures which hare just been released, the national income in 1931 showed a gain of 11 per cent over 1933. an increase cf five biUion dollars.

Indications are that 1935 is showing a still further gain. "There are many, many other instances of our industrial and commercial improvement. For example. General Motors Corporation has testified to its faith in business and trade pickup by announcing an expansion and reconstruction program involving i30.000.000. "The generation of electric power is always an indication of our industrial state of being.

According to the Edison Electric Institute, electricity during the first six months of this year reached the highest figure in the history of the industry and was 6 2 per cent above the first half of last year. Sears Roebuc's reports that for the four weets ending Juv 16. it had a greater dollar volume of business than in any previous comparable period in its history. Steel companies are reporting greater profits: Chrysler Corporation sold more cars in the first six months of this year than in any previous year; General Goods reports a big increase in its sales for the June quarter: the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks set a new record the number of new accounts from January 1 to June 30 and the sam? time cites a substantial gain in deposits. This covers thirty eight of our for ty eijht states and definitely shows a cash surplus in the hands of the public.

"Many more instances of trade and business revival might be cited, but they are not necessary. The point is. that the general public now is in a position to satisfy its desire to own homes and to profit by the advantages that it knows will accrue through home ownership. The money is there. The incomes exist.

However, both the desires and the possibility fulfilling the desire would be nullified were it not for present mortgage terms. It is now possible to buy homes with moderate down payments and with mortgages amortized over a long period of years so that the rnonth to month cash outlay is practically no more than normal rent. industry here and abroad showed us the advantage of this system through what we call the 'time payment' plan. New mortgagees have followed suit and have made it easy for a purchaser to discharge his obligation. "I do not mean to say that monthly amortization of a mortgage is exactly comparable to the monthly payments against the purchaser of, say, an automobile.

Nevertheless, the same psychology applies. Today it is easy for a man or woman to buy a home and to pay for it out of current income. It is obvious that realty values will continue their forward movement and that every dollar invested at the present time will be worth much more in a few years. It is obvious because it nox is desirable and advantageous to be a home owner and because the public has the means of doing so. These two factors are what will cause steady, sustained advance in realty O'BRIEN SCREEN PAINT Paint Those Screens Before Ton Pat Them Away.
