NEW REALTY FIRM
MAKES ITS DEBUT
Alexander & Shinn Members
Well Known Here.

A new firm recently has made it's bow
to the Washington real estate fraternity.
The firm of Alexander & Shinn, compris-
ing two well known local real estate op-
orators, has taken up its quarters in the
abode formerly occupied by the second
member of the firm, 115 Fourteenth
street northwest.
Sidney Alexander, who was a member
Of the organization of ]. Louis wflHge
Co., from which he recently resigned,
began his business career four years ago
with the firm under the old name OF
Willige, Gibbs & Daniel He gradually
advanced to the position of manager of
the firms extensive rent department He
is an expert accountant, and has been
regarded by his business associates as
one of the most proficient men in the
city for the handling of estates and as
especially adapted to the general rental
and insurance business.
Robert C. Shinn left this city in 1902 TO
accept a position as assistant general
manager Of a Mexican mining company
Upon returning two years later he began
operating as a real estate salesman In
1905 he opened an office in the Ames
Building, 1410 G street, where he remain
ed one year before removing his offices
to n25 Fourteenth street, where he has
since conducted a general real estate
business.
Mr.. Shinn has been called upon on
many occasions as an appraiser in con-
demnation proceedings and where expert
testimony is needed.
Both members Of the new firm are
members of the Washington Board of
Trade and other local organizations. The
firm has engaged a force Of statesmen
from among the most capable in the city,
this department coming under the direct
supervision Of Mr.. Shinn. while Mr..
Alexander will have charge of all mat
ters pertaining to rents and insurance.

NO MORE GUM FOR SAILORS.

The sale Of chewing gum at ships
stores has been prohibited by order OF
Acting Secretary OF the Navy Winthrop.
This order was issued upon the recon-
mendation OF Capt. William F. FuIlam,
commanding oflcer Of the battleship Mis-
sissippi, which was approved by Rear
Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander-in-
chief Of the Atlantic battle ship feet.
Capt Fullam's recommendation was as
follows:
II beg to recommend that chewing gum
be stricken from the list Of articles to be
sold in ships stores IN the navy, ashore
and afioet
The habit Of chewing gum at training
stations and on board ship Is decidedly
Objectionable for obvious reasons, and 1t
leads 10 constant reports for chewing
gum In ranks, at quarters, and at other
times when II is highly improper and I'M
military. II men are encouraged to form
this habit on board ship, the navy de-
Hberatsly invites them to do somsthlnsl
one minute for which they may be pun
ished the next. This Is not right"

Pursuant to his promise at the time of
mis- election to the presidency of the
Board Of Trade, Thomas c. Noyes yes
terday announced that, starting to-day,
he VIII maintain regular ONCE hours in
the Board Of Trade rooms in the Star
Suiiding from noon until o'clock daily.
At that time Mr.. Noyes will make it a
point to be available for conference or
ADVICE to committee chairmen and mem
bers Of the Board individually.
This Will be new departure from the
attitude Of previous administrations of
the Board, and, in the minds of those
members who knew of President Moves
intention, foreshadows a period of more
earnest cooperation between officers and
members Of the Board and a more deter
mined and better organized line Of en-
oeavor than has marked any previous
administration,
Concentration" the Keynote.
President Noyes outlined his intentions
IN his inaugural address before the board
OF directors Wednesday afternoon, and
mis- hrst ofncial acts have been in the d.
rection he then indicated. 'Concentra-
ton was the keynote Of his first official
utterances, and this thought will FREEDOM

One of the reforms contemplated by
Mr. Noyes, and in line with his policy

ed out in the appointment of committees
The committees this year will, in many
cases, be far smaller than those of last
year. In the course of conferences with
the committee chairmen. each commit
tee viii undergo a thorough wedding
out process with a view to reducing its
size. TO more easily welded force, and
TO cutting on all dead timber. Only
working members will be retained.
The policy of padding out the commit
tees with members of the Board who
showed no special interest in the work
assigned to them will not be followed
out this year. This has been done to
some extent in previous administrations
with the hope that by placing members
on various committees their interest
would be aroused. In many instances,
however, not only has this failed to
arouse the interest hoped for, but has
retarded the work Of those members of
the committee who were sufficiently in
terested in its work to give their indi-
vidual time and attention to the matters
before ii.
The membership committee for the en-
suing year has not as yet been appoint
ed. This committee will be selected with
the greatest care, as it is the hope of
Mr.. Noyes, through its efforts, to an
nounce a membership roll Of more than

All the outstanding stock in the Nor

been purchased by R. P. Read, a we'll
known capitalist, and associates, of New
York, with. a view to pushing this
new system of home building toward
wide adoption.
Among other interests, Mr.. Read owns
a tract of 1000 home sites, known as
Queens Manor, in New York, where
plans are already made and equipments
now en- route to start a cement suburb.
The new operation is to be modelled
after Virginia Highlands, the Washing

been developed and its praoticahiity In
