From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Ono Of the subjects which aroused con-
siderable discussion at the recent con-
vention in this city of the Real Estate
Association of the State of New York was
that regarding the licensing Of real estate
brokers. for which bill has been pre-
pared. Herbert A. Sherman, one of the
New York realty men who spoke in op-
position to the measure. said that many
OF its advocates asserted that the icens-
ing plan would eliminate the crooks in
the business.
Il am willing to admit" added Mr.
Sherman, that there are some; any
body who has had twenty-five years en-
perience as a real estate broker, as
have had, Will admit that: bnt ! have no
reason to believe that there are many
more or any less crooks in the business
than in any other in proportion TO the
whole number Of brokers. II business
is to be regulated because there are
regulate them all.
"The real estate brokerage business is
not like some which 1t has been consid-
cred necessary to regulate. 1t Is not a
monopoly. No owner Of real estate and
no prospective buyer or tenant is obliged
to deal with a particular broker. Own
ers. buyers and tenants may not have to
deal with any broker at all; they can do
business direct if both parties to the
transaction are willing. 1t is not like the
case of a shipper who may have to ship
by a particular road or not at all, OF
like that of a man using a telephone who
may have to deal with one company, or
like that of the consumer of gas or cleo
tricity.
"One branch of the business, the auc-
ton branch, does stand on somewhat
different footing. A buyer may have to
deal with an auctioneer about whom he
knows little or nothing There is a justi-
iication for supervision in this line,
though l am not prepared to say how ef-
fective the actual supervision is.
Although the measure is not intended
to produce revenue, 1T does impose fee
on brokers. and as l understand it, on
their salesman, and perhaps an addi-
tional fee for each branch office. The Zee
may be small at first, but my experience
is that such burdens grow. Some years
ago the auction license fee was nom
inal, but have seen it grow until now

of $1,000. which costs $40 in addition
When the state needs more money the
legislators are apt to look around to see
who is accustomed to paying and make
them stand little more, until it becomes
a burden and an annoyance.

success at all, it might be on smaller
scale than in New York city. In small

Lafayette Park.

IntrinsicaIly beautiful and rich in
history, Lafayette Park is, perhaps, the
most interesting of all American small
parks. 1t is an oblong rectangular, two
blocks long and one block wide, stu
ated directly across Pennsylvania ave-
nue. from the north front of the White
House.
1t is bordered by a row of elms plant
ed by Thomas Jefferson row now
sadly decimated by age and storms. 1t
is beautified by an infinite variety of
trees comprising almost every tree
that will grow in the Washington eli
mate. Its benches in fine weather are
always filled with people, who regale
themselves with the beautiful view of
the White House lawn and amuse them
selves by playing with the squirrels
which thickly inhabit the place.
Just now. when all Europe is at war,
particular interest centers in it's monu-
mental adornments. At the southeast
corner there is a monument to Lafav-
cite, who gave his name to the park.
The monument is surmounted by
heroic statue of the great French gen.
eral himself. and at its base are four
statues of his compatriots who helped
Washington win American independ-
ence.
At the southwest corner there is
statue of another famous Frenchman,
Admiral Count de Rochambeau. who
dId LOT us uuTl!lS the revolution on the
sea what Lafayette did on the land.
AT the northwest corner stands Baron
August Wilhelm Won Steuben, Ger
man general, who was OF invaluable
assistance to the Continental army in
giving military instruction to tile raw
American troops. for that was an art
in which the Germans even then eX-
celled.
AT the northeast corner stands the
most beautiful statue of them all, a
figure of kosciuszko, the Polish patri0s
who did 50 much for the cause of Amer
lean independence and whose death in
the lost cause of Poland led the poet to
sing Freedom shrieked when Kosci-
uszko fell"
In the center of the park directly OPP
posite the main door Of the White
House. stands an equestrian statue
which scuIrtors say is al atrocity in
art. but which patriotic America will
not permit to be removed or destroyed
1t is the famous statue of Andrew Jack
son. showing "Old Hickory" mounted
ON rearing charger marvelously bal
anced on his two hind feet 1t is the
same statue that is to be seen in Jack
son Park in New Orleans, near the site
of Jackson's great victory over the
British, and in the State House SQUARE
in Nashville. only few blocks away
from Jackson's old law office. now a
barroom.
Altogether. Lafayette Park is worth
IA half hour of any Americans time

REALTY MOVEMENTS
AND THEIR EFFECT
Like Tides of the Ocean. Saws
Writer, in Comparing
Prices.

Real estate movements are like the
TIDES OF the ocean. A flood tide will
carry prices above normal; an ebb
tide will drop them far below their in
trInsic worth The growth of popula-
ton is more or less constant, and land
values in the long run must keep pace
with population, SO that the ebb tide
creates wider margin between prices
and intrinsic value than does a flood
tide In other words. the mean or
average level of land values in a
growing community is constantly ris-
ing. and constantly tending in the di-
rection of the flood tide of speculative
prices. says a writer in the Seattle
Times.
The danger to which the fnexperi-
enced investor is subject comes from
MS limited point of riew-his short
perspective When prices are going
up. he thinks they will never stop
RISING; when he sees them going down
ne IS apt to fear there is no bottom.
Both notions are incorrect. The pen
duium swings up and down, and SO
does real estate. but both are anchor
ed to a secure and stable support.
Another curious characteristic is
noted in real estate movements. Tn
like securities, such as stocks and
bonds, they never take place stimuli
tancouSly in q number of cities. Real
""fatc Blooms are distinctly local. Prop
crty is high in one city and at the
same time low in another. Active in
Seattle. Minneapolis and Chicago to-
day; dull III Kansas City, Omaha and
New York tomorrow.
From 1897 to 1893 Chicago passed
through the widest real estate boom
that was ever Known in this cOuntry.
Prices increased from 100 to 1000 per
cent In these Years. while population
Increased less than 30 per cent.
1t took fifteen years for Chicago to
recover from its boom, or real estate
orgy. but in Chicago the suburban Or
residential land had advanced during
the speculative period. as nearly as
one can estimate, about 900 per cent,
and this was Il tremendous advance
10 liauidate through the growth in
population
Every evidence points TO the pre-
sumption that a dollar invested in real
stats in 1915 will bring a greater re-
turn than the same sum invested in
any security that is offered the public
today, but the investor must be pa
.ient, and determine to hold on until
the full Hood tide Of speculation has

Kissing in Old England.


In seventeenth century New England.
as We have noted. Kissing in the street
was a serious offense. But go back to
fifteenth and sixteenth, century Old Eng
land. and the case is very different. One
OF the Bohemian travellers whose narra-
tive is given in Mrs. Henry Gusts Gen
tlemen Grant records Of London: ut
is the custom in this town that at the
first arrival of guests in any lodging the
hostess. with all the household, comes
forth into the street to receive them:
and each one of them it behoves each
one to kiss. Indeed. to them, to take a
kiss is but as. to others. to offer the right
hand; for they are not used to offer the
hand" And Mrs. Gust gives whole
sheaf of similar foreign testimony to the
pleasant English custom Of kissing in the
street.

Oatmeal INDICATED.

From the Milwaukee Journal
Investigations conducted at Harvard
into the food values of common arti
cles prove that oatmeal gives the high
est nutriment of them all for the price.
You can't question the impartiality of
a verdict rendered in the classic suburb
of Boston that gives baked beans only
second place.
Really it's good news to have an old
friend thus approved. Oatmeal won
its spurs in the home long ago, and,
literally drenched with cream, it is as
good to the taste as anything we know.
In these days of the more easily pre-
pared rolled oats even restaurant oat-
meal is edible. And now we may turn
ourselves loose on it without fear that
we are being starved.
We can't leave this latest corona ton
without recalling the old story OF the
Englishman who slightipgly described
oa tlncal as in England food for
horses. IN Scotland food for mem and
the keencr retort of the Scot who heard
him: And where will ye find such
horses. and where will We find such
