I FAMOUS Generals
GO ON RETIRED LIST
Burton and Mills Will Be Sue
ceeded Monday by CARING
ton and Murray.
Special to The journal.

Washington, Sept. 29,-Important
changes among high officers of the
army will be made Monday when
Brigadier General George H. Burton,
Inspector general, and Brigadier Gen
eral Samuel H. Mills, chief Of artillery,
will be placed on the retired list on
their own applications. General Miles
will be succeeded as chief of artillery
by Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Murray,
now assistant to the chief of artillery,
while Colonel E. A. Darlington will sue
coed General Burton as inspector gen
eral Of the army.
Colonel Murray, the new chief of
artillery, was born at Bowling Green.
Mo-, April 20, 1851. He was appointed
to the West Point academy in 1870 and
graduated second in his class. His
first promotion came in 1873, when he

years thereafter he was instructor in

acting Judge advocate general. depart
ment of Missouri, and for brief period
thereafter was acting assistant ,ad-
jutant general, Department Of Dakota.
he was given a captaincy in the First
Artillery and served thru the Cuban
campaign. Afterwards he served with
distinction in the Philippines. Colonel
Murray was admitted to the bar in the
United States circuit court at St. Louis
in 1925. .,. er...s,.. v.
Colonel E., A., Darlington, the new
inspector general of the army, is the
other-in.law of General j. franklin
Bell, chief Of staff, and is well known
in the military service. He entered
the army in 1872 as cadet at the mil
itary academy. He will have long
time to serve, as he does not retire for
age until 1919. Colonel Darlington
Is native Of South Carolina and was
appointed to the military academy
from Georgia.
The change in the head of the in
spector generals department revives
the gossip concerning the abolition Of
that corps, subject which has been
discussed at various times in the army
and before congress. Each time it
has been suggested the inspectors gen
eral have rallied to defeat the PROPOSE
ton, but with the decrease Of the per-
manent personnel of the corps by the
detail Of line officers to duty as in
spectors geneTal,+ there. are naturally
fewer friends to muster to the support
Of the department. It has been held
that the army inspection could be done
by officers detailed specially for that
purpose; and that the work could be
conducted under the military secre-
tary's department Of the general staff
without the maintenance Of separate
corps. =.

Addresses IN c. A. Classes on Nature of Real Es-
tate Brokerage Business and Qualifications Necessary
to Success in that Line---Points of Address.

tsReal Estate'' was the subject
Of the Minneap polls Real Estate board g
free information bureau, for his address
Monday night before the 7. M. G. A.
Mr.. Sawyer was a practical real estate
man before he took up the work Of
advertising for the board. Since he
has been in the new field he has come
closely in contact with the other real
estate men of the city and with the
boards and exchanges of other cities,
and has still widened his experience.
Il An outline Of the advantages Of
SAWYER, who at first demurred hon the
thought that instruction in such a line
must be practical instead of theoretical.
On further thought he decided that the
plan was a good one. 1t occurred TO
him that if instruction in other lines
has proved successful and is still be-
ing successful, why should it not IN the
realm of real estate9
MIR. Sawyer went back to the tact
that land is the foundation. OF all val
ues and that furnishing sustenance to
man is the greatest and the first prob
lem. For that reason nothing is more
nearly fundamental than the consider
alton of real estate. The first business
element with which one has to reckon
Is the value of land, next the improve
ments. To one who is to engage IN the
business no more profitable study can
be presented than that Of real estate.
IT,. = !. City Real Estate. @.. e.: g.
Inasmuch as the special study was
city real estate, Mr.. Sawyer passed up
the land question entirely. .ss
Familiarity with the subject is es-
sential,' he said. 'EMaps, charts and
county records are to be studied, and
tate descriptions before entering the
field of actual business. -"
stThe next essential features is
knowledge Of values, primarily consid-
cred. First, there are to be considered
two classes of property, improved and
unimproved; and for each class, loca-
tion is one of the most important fea-
lures. The general desirability of cor
ners as compared with inside lots. and
the fittingness Of each for special kinds XII
Of business is to be considered. Then
again, the extent Of frontage and the
depth of lots and blocks have to do
largely with determining their values.
and as the size Of the property has a
greater OF less, effect, this presents a
problem well worthy Of the most care
fuI consideration. @
What to Consider. .
y stIn the consideration of improved
properties, the nature Of the improve
ments is an important factor. The con-
venience and availability of buildings
have to be studied, and their adaptable
ity for tie purpose which the purchas-
er has in view. Furthermore, the ma
tpre of the improvements in the neigh
bprhood must also be taken into con-
sideration, for all Of these things es-
aantially affect the desirability and con-
squently the value Of any certain -tfact.
