Real Estate Men to Study
Problems of the Suburb:

/ Persons in all parts of the United
States have recently been brought to
realization of the fact that food is
needed to keep them alive; and,
those who are producers are a very
important factor in the scheme of
life. The great educational cam
paign of the Food Administration
has developed a desire, deep in the
hearts of many people, to get a piece
or land and become producers of
food. This has been noticed by an
increased demand for farm lands
The committee in charge of the pro-
gram for the eleventh annual con-
vention of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards, which will be
held in st. Louis June IT, 18, 10 and
20, has realized this and given half
day to conferences on "Coloniza-
tion," Baby Farms and Good
Roads, with men particularly quail
flied by experience to lead discus
sions on these most practical sub
jects.
The Baby Farm" is becoming
popular as a suburban home for
those who are in love with nature.
and can thus have a garden space,
small orchard, chicken yard and a
| cow, and take advantage of rapid
transit to a city for work. The lead
er of this discussion has handled this
class of property for number of
! years, and his development is most
attractive, each acre or more being
laid out to a plan with uniform
| planting and well built up.

Detectives Take German
Believed to Be One of
Aliens Flashing Signals

Atlantic City, N. J., June S.-A
German giving his name as Fritz
Flage, who the police believe to be
one of number responsible for the
mysterious signs flashed from points
along the coast since the operations
of German submarines began on
this side of the Atlantic, was ar
rested last night and held to await
investigation by the naval intelli-
gence bureau.
According to the detectives who
searched his room, maps were found
of the Atlantic Coast from Virginia
to Massachusetts,, with detailed
drawings of Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Baltimore, Hoboken
and Norfolk showing Industrial
plants and the easiest routes to them
by water and rail.
Pictures and drawings of guns,
forts and studies of explosives and
a book which appears to be a code
also were found in the prisoners
room, the detectives said.
