ASSOCIATION SHOULD INCLUDE
REALTY OWNERS IN MEMBERSHIP
George Y. Worthington, Newly Elected
President of Brokers' Association, in
Favor of Change in Constitution.

The Real Estate Brokers Association
of Washington should amend its con-
stitution so as to admit owners of real
estate into its membership, accord
ing to George Y. Worthington. recent
ly elected president of the organiza-
tion. Mr.. Worthington shares with
other members. of the association the
belief that by doing so a closer rela-
tionship will be brought about between
broker and owner. with result that
will be beneficial to both. Should this
change in the constitution be made it
is probable that at the same time the
name of the association would be
changed to the Washington Real Estate
Beard.
Mr. Worthington yesterday outlined
to a Star reporter some of the plans
of the Real Estate Brokers Associa-
tion for the coming year. He spoke
of the recent formation of an appraisal
committee, which he chara acteriZed as
the most important action ever taken
by the organization. He also spoke Of
the valuable work being done through
out the country by the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Exchanges, with
which the local organization is af-
fliated.
Nj, Worthington said:
'If our association during the COM
ing year can succeed in only partially
removing tffe> unjust prejudice against
our profession that seems to exist in
the minds of the public; if 1t can con-
vince a fair number of owners and
dealers that there is a community of
interest vital to the welfare OF both ex-
listing between agents and themselves:
If it can increase and magnify the fra
ternal feeling existing among its pres
ent membership, and, finally, If it can
successfully maintain among it's own
members that splendid code of ethics
adopted by the National Association of
Real Estate Exchanges, then shall
congratulate myself that my fellow
members honored me so highly by
electing me to the presidency.

Returning to Popularity.

The wardrobe is without doubt again
coming into fashion. says Charles P.
Rawson, in the National Builder. The
best architects and designers are now
using them.
One of the latest arrangements is to
have a pair of wardrobes on either
side of a window or a mantel, or one
on either side of the head of the bed,
or at the head or foot, when the bed
is placed sideways against the wall.
Usually. now, the wardrobes are built
In, and match the interior finish. but
some lines they are detached. Then
they may be made TO match either the
trim of the room or the furniture.
"One of the best ways to secure
cleanliness and order in a house is to
provide plenty of closet space" says
Rawson. And by that 1 mean usable
closet space.
The return of the wardrobe is a
change for which the fresh air propa-
ganda is responsible. Many outdoor
enthusiasts have gone so far as to re-
move the bed from the bedroom en-
tirely, it's place being taken by a
wardrobe and the bedroom becoming a
dressing room in connection with the
sleeping porch"

Having successfully attained an age
that assures our future existence. the
association extends to all licensed real
estate brokers a most cordial invitation
to become members, with the full un-
derstanding that membership in the
association can only be retained by
strict adherence to the code of ethics

enforce such a high moral standing,

1T shall be my pleasure and untiring

the coveted ends, and I sincerely hope
the efforts of the association will meet

cooperation of the whole fraternity is
essential if the desired results are to
be obtained
Work of National Association.
Wonderful progress along the lines
enumerated has been made in other
cities, directly traceable to the splen-
did work of the National Association
of Real Estate Exchanges, an organ
iZation composed of the representative
leaders in the real estate business from
the different cities-men of the high
est standing in their communities, who
have freely given their time and
thought to this subject and are accom-
plishirg splendid results in the way of
elevating the whole tone and habits of
thought of agents in general and in
creating and fostering the desire to
have the business of managing real
estate for others dignif1ed and elevated
into a profession requiring training
and study.
THE educational effect of the contact
of owners of real estate and the agents,
through the medium of local boards,
where owners and others interested in
real estate are admitted as associate
conditions exist, and to my mind our
local association will take long step
forward if 1t will amend it's constitu

Such appraisals made by unbiased and
