BETTER TKM THAT OF TUH REGIME Machinery Is Responsible for Great Advance, Says S, H, Tompkins, Since tlio days of the much-dis-cussed Ivlng Tutankhamen, and long before, brick, of a seemingly everlasting quality, has been known to mankind, according to S- H. Tompkins of the Allied Coal and Materil Company. Recent excavations in the Valley of the Kings have brought to light many interesting facts regarding the stability and uses of brick. “Front 'he earli st Babylonian cities, -o old they have been buried, now cities built above them, and those buried in turn, we find brick apparently ns good as ever,’’ Tompkins said “Long as has been the history of brick. It is in the last twenty-five years that the greatest advance has been made. Modern machinery of greater &tr -r a t ’ burning systems lias permitted the use of clay* and shales otherwise in ossible. “Time was win : all brick were very much alike and orb,., try- Such brick now are used largely where they are little seen, and anew class of brick, known ns 'fa.ee brick has developed, to be us,-; particularly for th© outside of buildings. The builders today has h:s choice of almost any color and a variety of finishes or textures. •'We are building one of the most complete and artistic display rooms in the country, where one may see brick ’■ a; and obtain many interesting suggestions for their use."

SOOfiiy INFLUX IS CHIEF FACTOR IN RENT BOOST Indianapolis Rental Price Is Double That of PreWar Days, Odds against the farmer have forced him to ihe ciues. Indianapolis has felt the influx and resulting crowded conditions and high rents. Rents are double what they were previous to the war. according to John U. Met’loskey, 4u7 Indiana Trust building expert appraiser oi Indianapolis property for twenty years. "Taxes are high. Materials are high,” he explains. “People continue to pay high rents rather than build. Rents have increased In the poorer class of houses as well 'ts the more expensive. “Downtown property is a good investment if you can get hold of it," “Many of the big commercial transactions have been confined to a very few corporations. “Not long ago a piece of property now worth $1,000,000 was sold for $600,000. The same day the new owner was offered $7"0.000 and afterward sold the property to his same bidder fur sSoo,ot.io. The same corner was sold at a receivership sale in 187*1 for $50,000. “This general scale of increase in valuation holds true in practically all downtown property. “The real test in appraising comes in seeing whether the property can actually be turned over for that amount.'* NEW iNCOME TAX.
