lOrs and other features which make
them attractive to apartment buy
ers. 1t is three-stories in height

The National Association of Real
Estate Boards is going to establish
in Washington within a month or
two a national research bureau to
gather the facts regarding realty.
Every bit of Information concerning
legislation proposed and realty con-
ditiOns throughout the country will
be concentrated here. The informa-
ton will be supplied by realtors all
over the country.
viii Represent ID. c.
John Weaver, local realtor. and
past president of the National As
gociation, left the city last night
for Denver to represent the local
realtors on the national governing
board which will perfect the details
for this gigantic research bureau.
Many other matters concerning
realty will come'up at this meeting,
but this undoubtedly is the most
important.
BY property holders joining the
local association they will add a
weight to the forces OF realtors that
Congress must reckon with. 1t will
bring the property owners in closer
touch with the realtors and show
them that they are not the thugs
and thieves which so many would
have you believe, but group Of
hard working individuals who want
to do the best for the community
in which they live. and do anything
and everything to bring about the
best conditions for all concerned.
Membership in the association will
bring about better feeling. for and
understanding. as well as forever
cast aside the opinion Which many
have of realtors, showing that the
man you do not like is the man you

Canada Leads Great Britain
In Effective Housing Plan

Nearly all the dominion govern
ment appropriation of $4,000, 600
for housing has been taken up and
more than 5000 dwellings have been
erected in Canada this year under
the Dominion and provincial hous-
ing schemes. The total will be in
creased by the end of the year by
the continuance of building in parts
of the country where climatic con-
ditions Will permit.
1t is claimed that more houses
have been built in Canada under
the Canadian housing schemes than
under those IN operation in Great
Britain.

And that very year the unconquereo

such a farce of his handling OF the

Government that he cast a stlgna on
almost every professional ball prayer
in the country with his request LOT

GRIFFITH AIDS GAME.
Finally, when Clark Griffith sue

even then the illustrious Ban John-

ntn TO Soou a iiohs a. -

For more than two years Johnson
has blocked every move for the re-
organization of the National Com
mission, which has long been inc
court of last resort in baseball. In
the heydey of it's power the Natlonai
Commission frequently acted with
more real justice than many OF our
courts. 1t tempered mercy with It's
decisions, as many magnate ana
many a player well knows.
But for two years there has been
no National Commission. and all be-
cause of Ban Johnson. lie would not
permit any reorganization which ne
could not control. First, he kept
Garry Hermann on the job until even
that ,sunny-tempered gentleman grew
sick of the situation and resigned.
Garry probably has been happier
since his resignation than ever he

For the past year there has been
no head for the commission, because
of Bans absolute refusal to accept
any chairman not selected by him.

LIGHTER ElEvENS
REVISE SCHEDULE
Eastern and Business Out, Gen.
trail Gaining Time to Develop
Younger Lads.
~ BRYAN MORSE.

The 1856 pound football schedule for
the high schools will be revised with
Central, Technical, and Western In
the running. IL IL expected that the
teams will be selected from boys
weighing 1S5 pounds or less. Both
Western and Technical have had their
squads In action since the beginning
OF the season.
An agreement was reached by the
three schools yesterday, II Is repoued,
and Central is ready to start or on Its
135-pound team. Candidates were
called together at the big institution
yesterday and put through some
stunts.
Business and Eastern will not be
represented in the schedule which
will be announced shortly. Owing to
the change in the 135-pound team,
the failure OF the Business and East
ern teams to participate In the light
class and their entrance In the un-
limited weight class. the games are
as they always have been in the past.
An effort was made last year to put
on an unlimited class. Eastern and
Business baked. The l36-pound class
also fell through. Business and East
ern, apparently bopelessIy outclassed
in the unlimited weight section, stuck
to their guns. with the result that abb
solutely nothing has been accom-
piished except holding Western and
Technical back in the 135-pound class
until Central can get ready.
Technical and Western have the
satisfaction of having had unusually
large numbers OF youngsters out for
football this fall and under the best
sort of supervision.
