Though I may not have made a com.
mission on the particular transaction. I
have at least not mace an enemy, and the
chances are that my efforts may result In
Q transaction with some friend OF this very
man"
Quite a number Of the big Offices in the
greater city often complain that informa-
ton for which they have spent much time
and money frequently becomes public
property in a surprisingly short time. A
writer in System" tells how TO safeguard
such information. He says: "A real IS.
tate man listed on a single form all the
Information relative TO each piece OF prop
artv he handled. The drawback to the use
q, this method was that frequently in
handling a sale the form had to be shown
TO n prospective purchaser. who thus Sc
cured much information to which he was
not entitled.
ITO avoid carrying a duplicate form
merely for this confidential information
the dealer finally hit upon the simple ex-
pedient Of listing this confidential infor.
nation in abbreviated form in predeter-
mined order at the bottom Of the card. To
the customer the line is a sequence Of
meaningless figures, but clerks and sales
men know that from left TO right the hg.
ures indicate commission, lowest price, as
sessment, terms and so on
Another advantage is that this plan
narroits the omission of these captions
from the form. Commissions, assessments.
and the possibility OF a price lower than
that quoted him are not considerations
likely to help prospective purchasers TO
make UP their minds. But the code figures
convey no suggestion Of this kind 10 the
| layman."
| Many reasons have been advanced for
, the strength OF building activity In mid
town. The Real Estate Record and
Guide" says II is due to the fact that
builders are eager TO get as many opera
tons as possible under way in advance OF
the enactment OF a new building code.
They figure that mercantile conspIc'
tons will be more expensive under the
new code than they are under the exist.
ing one.
They are also influenced" It further
says, by the prospect that the ouiioins
height may be greatly restricted, In WHICH
case existing tall buildings would have an
extremely valuable easement Of light and
air for their upper floors. Finally Is
argued that, in view Of the stagnation In
building likely 20 follow the passage OF
new code, such structures as are now
going Up will be in a position to offer low
temporary rents" !.

Brutality Of the Crusaders.

Few cities are said to have been be-
sieged and taken so many times as
Constantinople Since the middle Of
the sixth century it has undergone 26
sieges and has been captured eight
times. But Its worst experience was
In 1904, when It was captured by the
Crusaders. The city was given up to
pillage, and the so-called Christian
warriors are said to have acted more
barbarously than Turkish invaders
have ever done.
