"StrikeS Out Article TO-"

By United Press:
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1O.-The
senate today plunged into what
many members hope will be the last
week OF this session-and OF the
prolonged treaty fight.
The reservation up today is the
one which Pres't Wilson during his
tour of the country said would cut
out the very heart of the treaty and
added that he would regard its
passage as rejection of the treaty.
Sen. Hitchcock also said after his
conference with the president that
the passage Of the reservation would
cause democrats to vote against the
Lodge resolution OF ratification.

Taking up the committee reserva-
tion of article 10, the senate first
considered a motion by Thomas.

originally proposed by McCumber.

McCumber Substitute.
The McCumber substitute offered
by Thomas today is as follows:
THAT the suggestions Of the coun-
ell of the League Of Nations as TO
the means of carrying the obliga-
tions OF article 10 into effect are the
only advisory and that any under
taking under the provisions OF ar
ticle 10, the execution Of which may
require the use of American mill
tary or naval forces or economic
measures. can under the constitu-
ton be carried out only by the ac-
ton Of the congress, and that the
failure of the congress 20 adopt the
suggestions Of the council OF the
league, or to provide such military
or naval forces or economic meas
ures. shall not constitute a violation

Chair of Real
Estate at the
State University

The business Of selling real estate
Is rapidly developing into a science
1t is no longer the old hap-haZZard
occupation of misfits in other lines,
failures who, having no other avenue,
cast their hooks into the game purely
for the little commission that may fol-
low.
1t takes craftsmanship ability to
stand in line with the realtor of to-
day He must be man whose rec
ord will stang the test, who Is ia
miliar with tho fundamentals of bank
ing. who has genius for organization
and all-round constructive work. He
is a man of brains and character and
energy. and If he is not al of this the
community knows It,
1t is not surprising then that the
real estate men of Virginia are al
ready discussing a move to have a
chair established at the state uni
versity where high class young men
may take courses in real estate and
be- taught tina science not only OF buy
ing and selling. but taught to judge
of propositions that have merit and to
weed out those that are purely vision
ary.
For the real estate man today is in
a sense financier. He must occupy
very close relations to the bankers in
his community. He must establish
a reputation for sanity in all his pro-
tects, so that when he goes to bank
ers and individuals OF means he will
be listened to and his Judgment re-
spected.
