Thi* duplrx house will appeal to many homebuilder*, especially those who desire a plan of the •'double" arrangement. The apartment* are one above the other, with five 100ms in each division. From the exterior the house has the appearance of a large •'ingle residence, which is much deal rod. The ovenUI di(Induding the sepatate porch*at the sides) and 45 ft. JO in. ’ deep. Thus a very moderate amount of ground space I*

are provided for.

The exterior is in brick and | tile construction lor the first | story, with half-timber* and] stucco above Clipped gable-1 are an Interesting f<ature. The steep shingle roof makes possible a splendid attie. which i? j equally accessible to both apart inents. and which may Is- finish-1 cd off into extra rooms if desired. The arrangement ot the Maim is a notewerthy featur. of this dfwiraoie plan. Beside* tinseparate front stair leading to the second-floor home, there is a tear hall at the rear of the building which provides aecess with privacy for the occupants of both floors, from basement to attic. Notice, too. the entire privacy of the two living porches

on tnc first floor.

Living room, riming room and kitchen occupy the left side of each apartment, while two bedroom* with bath between, and the stair halls occupy the right. The sizes of the rooms are eyA fireplace in each Ilv-

In the case of Amy H. Rodgers against John J. Foster. Ocean City realtor, to recover 11.000 as a payment In a realty transaction relief was denied by Circuit Court Judge Rulof Lawrence. who heard the case without a Jury at Court House last Tuesday. James Mercer Davis, attorney for the purchaser, based argument on what was apparently a typographical errot in the agreement. From the testimony It appeared that John J. Foster, while acting as agent for Jennie Spratt and Samuel Caplan. Philadelphia, sold a corner pi erty at Twenty-second Street : Asbui-y Avenue to Amy R. F gers. The agreement of sale correctly located the lots by section and lot number, hut read Twenty-second Street and Central Avenue instead of Twentysecond and Asbury Avenue. Foster testifled when this wat called to bis attention by the purchasers he sought to change It. but the purchasers demanded the return of her deposit money. Fas-.er testifled that the posit check was turned over to the owners of the lots and was produced In evidence by F. Stanley Kreps, who represented Foster. Attorney Davis offered objection to the questions of Attorney Kreps. but he was overrated by Judge Lawrence. Judge Lawrence stated the facts in the case showed that Foster was only acting as agent and the suit should be directed against the owner of the lots as the deposit could not be collected from an agent under such circumstances The case was heard with inrest by" the member* of the -nior class of the local High School, who wire receiving Instruction in the functioning of the Court* at Court House last

Today—a third of a million Two men, with scant facilities and less money at their disposal, winding coils, twanging clock springs and shouting into strange contraptions of wood and parchment, finally created the telephone. In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Watson, his assistant were the only two “telephone men” in the world. Today there arc a third of a million men and women in the Bell System. Every day brings an increase in the number of people they sene and in the volume of calls they handle. The inherent tendency of telephone growth is to complicate the n-cch-anisms and their operation di proportionately. Each added telephone means more than just one more line and instrument. The problem of its interconnection with every other telephone of the System—the natural complication of the switching job as thousand, and tens of thousands of new users are added, would long ano have swamped the service had constant improvement and simplification of equipment and method not more than kept pace. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. But modern telephone service ,s the product of a mynad of invemions, scienlific and „, h njl .,| which make the facility of that service seem almost commonplace. So must it and will it continue to lie. THE DELAWARE AND ATLANTIC TEU-GRAPH ANI> TELEPHONE CO.
