The transfer of two lots and a brick

from the Byron IWd company to Josrpn
Hwohvda, last week. U another lastunce
of tho faith of out-of-town people In
Omaha property. Mr. Fwuboda la a rosl
dent of Abis, .b., and bought the prop
erty as an Investment. ILa opinion la
that Omaha real estate I one of the saf
est InvoHtmenta Into which a man can put
his money and an Investment that Is
bound to brlnic rood returns outside, of
the rental, as Omaha realty U chap and
v-lU Increase In value.
The question of setting aside one meet
ins a month for appia.sal of property
has been again brought up In the Iteai
Estate exchange and a committee has
been suggested to outline a plan and
make recommendations. Several members
who spoke on the subject at last aeck's
meeting were of the opinion that the
deals, s would derive much benefit from
comparing tdoas as to the value of
property. Borne are authority on values
In certain parts of the city, and some on
ether parts and the interchange of Ideas
and lnfoimatlon. it Is aigued. will keep
every member fairly well Informed on
values all over the city. Q. Q. Wallace
said the plan was pursued by the ex
change for a long period many yea s ago,
and tbe chances for benefit from It aie
greater now then then, because realty
values then were based on boom condi
tions, while now they are on a sane bas s.
A number of the architects of the city
attended an adjourned meeting held at
the University club Wednesday and had
dinner and cigars. Tuesday evening, De
cember IJ, at Ihe same place, a meeting
will be held for 'the purpose of forming
an architectural club slml.ar to those of
piactli-ally every live city of the country.
The betterment of architecture In this
city and state In the primary object
, Harry Iawrle Is president pro tern and
F. A. Iletinmger temporary secretary.
Believing that the united efforts of
American architects will solve the ques
tion of the low coat home for the salaried
man and wasro-tai ner, the managemen.
of Ihe L'lny iToilucis and l'ermanent
llojiie exposition, to be held at the thl
i bko coliseum March 7 to March 12, 1SI2,
announced that canh prizes ranging from
104 to JtOO wou.d he awarded for the
rx-st plan. Awards are to be made on
the fourth dny of the exposition by a
committee, of competent Judges. Arrange
ments have been made providing that

omy, sanitation and protection against

tectural beauty in Judging the plans.
"The current number of Bonds and Mort
gages has this to say of the woman In
vestor: '
"The woman Investor Is not easy of ap
proach. It takes soma of the graces of
good conduct and a standing In tbe com
munity. The biokor who seeks this busl
nens must make it a specialty. He can
not go at It haruhly, nur even with the
aatne directness that he uses toward the
men of his acquaintance. A campaign of
education and a watching of the c.iarusj
.. imn there Is known to be a sum for
nventnieiit will help matei lally, and the
woman with money is usually willing to
talk It over. She will probably consult
her banker and a working ai runuemeili
with that Individual la a good way to
make an approach."
flumors of a "substantial" building at
the northeast corner of Twenty-fourth
and Leavenworth have long been current
Last week ground was broken for a struc
ture, but It did not prove to be anything
tery largo. It will be a small, one-story
brick and Is said to be designed for a
cigar store and shoe repair shop.
