SURVEY SHOWS REAL ESTATE PRICES FIRM Subdivision Market Said on Same Level as Last Year. Selling prices in real estate are holding firm and business rents are stabilizing, according to the semiannual survey of the real estate market received by the Indianapolis Real Estate Board Saturday from the National Association of Real Estate Boards at Chicago. There is a slight increase in the shortage existing in single family dwellings, apartments and business buildings, a barely perceptible change from June of 1926 in the situation as to residential rents, and an increased stabilization of rents for business and office space, both for central locations and for outlying districts. Money for real estate investment Is generally easy, with interest rates contiuing steady. More Active While the situation in the real estate market for the country as a whole did not show great change, 29 per cent of the boards participating in the survey report the market more active this year than last, 31 per cent the same, and 40 per cent less active. Classified according to size of cities, those with population of from 100,000 to 200,000 showed the greatest increase in activity, 30 per cent this year reporting a more active market as against 19 per cent so reporting in this class last year. Subdivisions Good The subdivision market is reported to be on the same level of activity as was the case last year in 38 per cent of the cities which the reports cover. The most active' subdivision market is reported by the Pacific States section, where 45 per cent of those reporting indicate activity this year to be the same as last and 33 per cent more active. With the exception of the southeastern section, other sections of the country show about the same relative activity as does the country as a whole.

DR. ROBERT WALLACE. Through ESTHER LANE, stenographer in the offiec, Sonia also learns that Dr. Wallace is somewhat of a flirt. and attracts many of his women patients. Sonia fears the Wallaces may have heard about her affair with FRANKLIN CRANE, before she was married. Sonia receives a letter from Franklin Crane, saying he is coming to San Francis*®. Sonia fears Don’s love for her is waning and decides to leave home to live with Jinny of Jed Thomas. office. Sonia refuses any financial assistance from Jinny tells Sonia she is in love with a married man, who proves to be Dr. Wallace. A young salesman. STEPHEN SESSENGER. in the office of Jed Thomas, ia interested in Sonia. . _ . Don is led to believe that Sonia is accepting attention from Wallace and in an angry mood calls on her and accuses her. As long as Don thinks she is a flirt, she decides to play that kind of a game. Sonia dines and dances with Stephen. She was thinking of the pleasant evening spent with him when he suddenly caught her violently in his arms. Sonia then talks matters over with him and relusts to have any more engagements with him. She tells him she loves her husband. Sonia tries to straighten. things out with Don. but h ret uses to listen to her so she calls on Bob Wallace. Elaine appears on the scene, and to save Sonia Bob tells her about Jiuny. Elaine meets Jinny, who tells her there was nothing to their relations. They were merely fli, Anna Marsh is seriously ill and Don rushes to her in time to save her life. He tells Sonia that Bob has explained the situation to him and asks her forgiveness. Jinny marries Stephen Sessenger. Sonia realizing she needs Don tries to locate him. but finds it impossible. She walked alone up the hospital stairs. Time dragged until what seemed years she dropped through waves fil agony into eternity. She was awalybned by Dor. asking her if she cared to see her son. Sonia devoted all her time to her son. she felt he was so delicate a breath of wind might blow him away. Some instinct seemed to be warning her. Sonia was frantic when the baby has a slight temperature. She telephones .Don. but he sends Bob Wallace. Soma blames Don for the death of their son. She feels that she has nothing left. In life and refutes to mingle with old friends. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XL,VII After dinner Sonia sat in the living room and waited. She was beginning to wonder just how much Don cared for Jean. There was no doubt in her mind but that he had cared. She could see where by overdone indifference and unconscious enthusiasm he had betrayed himself many times. How blind she had been not to see it. Too sunk in selfpity to question his interest. A wave of discouragement swept over her. Perhaps he would prefer to continue living as they were. At least, she no longer interfered with his profession. But Jean had said he needed her. And now at last she had something else to work for. Some goal to attain. She would forget herself trying to make Don happy. She would try not to think about her child. No wonder he had been unable to return to her. The very force of her grief would keep him away. His mother had never been sad and tragic.... She was going to be different now. It might take months. No doubt it would be hard,. but she would be a real wife again. That was her j0b.... It was late when Don came, showing no surprise at finding her up. He said, matter-of-factly, “Lord, I’m tired. Typhoid patient died.” Sonia saw nothing but weariness in his eyes. Suddenly he went to the window and stared into the darkness. Was he thinking of Jean? “Don!” she cried, sharply. He turned and she slipped from the davenport to run to him. “Don, I’ve been a selfish little beast....” He looked at her, curiously. “What do you mean, Sonia?” "Oh,” she cried, “I’ve been so sorry for myself, I haven’t thought about you.” “Why do It now?” “Because I’ve had a shock today. For the first time I realize how unkind I’ve been.” “Well, don’t let it disturb you,” he replied, curtly. “Can’t you understand?” she begged. “I was so wrapped up In my baby. I simply couldn’t see your side of it.” “Do you mean about my not coming when you sent for me?” “Yes. I imagined you might have done something f' “But J couldn't, Sonia....” His. voiqe was veriy tired. “N6, I realized that some time ago.” /

“Even if I could,” he said, with white lips, “it still would have been my duty to continue my operation.” “ Why Don . x “It’s true!” he cried, and she had never heard him speak with such a blaze of passion: “I told you my profession come first. I meant it, Sonia. If a doctor can’t be a physician first and a husband and father afterwards, he has no right to be married.” She gazed at him, sadly. “Then we really didn’t mean much to you, did we?” lid groaned, “Oh, yes you did. You know how much he meant to me, Sonia.” After r moment she asked, “Have you lost your love for me, Don?” She was astounded to hear him reply, “I don’t kno#. Sometimes I think I have. You are utterly unlike the girl I married.” “I loved you,” he continued, “be cause I thought you were a gallant loser. Being a mother seemed to change you.” She admitted the truth of it with an aching, empty, heart. “I know—l guess you-re right. I loved him so.” He answered, “I loved him, too. But no child could be the flaming thing in my heart that you were!” Past tense! How much did he love Joan? For now she was sure. “Isn’t It strange,” she said sadly, “I put you on a pedestal and worshiped you like God. I thought you were perfect. You seem to have done the same with me.

MR. FIXIT 'Doggie’ Situation Worse, Declares Reader,

Mr. Fixit. The Times’ representative at the city hall, will be glad to present vour case ,o the proper city officials. Write him in care ot The Times signing full name and address. Name will not be used if anonymity is desired. The “doggie” situation in Indianapolis is not getting better according to a letter received by Mr. Fixit today. The letter states that if anything dogs are more numerous and nothing is being done about it. Mr. Fixit went to see O. D. Haskett, president; of the board of safety. He told Mr. Fixit that the board is not clear on the law governing the killing of dogs and that as soon as the board learns its power something will be done. The letter is: Dear Sir: Can’t you do something to remedy the “doggie” situation in Indianapolis, as you call it in your column. It is getting worse every day. Is there not a law stating plainly that dogs may be killed if they are dangerous? Kindly answer through your column at your con venience. TIMES READER. Dear Mr. Fixit: I am writing to you asking you why it is that some property owners have to cut down trees that are condemned while others do not. JACK R. This letter with your address was handed to R. Walter Jarivs, superintendent of parks, who has control over cutting trees. He promised Mr. Fixit that he would investigate the matter, and requested the writer come to city hall and talk the matter over with him. Mr. Fixit looked the law up himself.

Sir: The alley north of the 1700 block, Ingram St., is in an almost impassable condition. Would you be kind enough to see that there are cinders placed there? A FLIVER OWNER. Mr. Fixit turned this complaint over to George Woodward, street commissioner. He said that the alley would be cindered as soon as possible. Dear Mr. Fixit: It is deep sorrow that I am compelled to make a complaint against the condition of an alley near 1429 S. Randolph St., in our no mean city. A poor little city garbage truck nearly went to its muddy grace in the rear of our garage. If it had not been for the loan of a scoop by me to dig It out, It might have been buried yet. Now please entice the city to send a few cinders down here so that when the next garbage collection time comes we will not have to have a city burial. A BEREAVED CITIZEN. This complaint was turned over to Street Commissioner George Woodward, who said he would try and see that this place was filled up at once. Work along the alley repair line has been held up by the lack Os funds and equipment, he said. Mayor Duvall is cutting all expenses possible, so he can save the taxpayers money. 666 Is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria It kills the germs
