THE girls club at the church was
i having a meeting. The basketball
team was getting together for hna'
practice before an important game with
another club. They all fiocked INTO
the gym" trig and business'ike in theit
jumpers, bloomers and soft Sneakers.
But one girl went into another room
and sat down silently with a class in
millinery.
"Come on, Irene !' some one called 10
her. 1--WE can't get along without our
star player, you know"
But Irene shook her head, still silent
little sulky, unsmiling. A protest
arose from the team and the captain
pleaded with Irene to "be sport ana
come on in" Then Irene condescended
an explanation.
!"Not while Rita's out there she
declared, sullenly.
"But you and Rita play so well to
gether." the captain protested. Irene
shook her head 1--WE had n fight, ana
! don't play while she's here
The practice had to go on. The cap
tain returned to the floor, to find Rita
wearing the same half sullen, half
defiant expression. There was nothing
to be done, Persuasions, threats. tears
pleading had no effect. Irene wouldn
play if Rita was on the hoor., hlla
would play, oh. yes. Rita would play
she had 10 hard feeling against irene
but shc knew perfectly well that tne
mere fact Of her playing would DC
enough TO keep Irene away. SO it went
on for weeks. Irene couldn't come TO

that Rita had arrived ahead OF her.
RITA wouldn't let silly thing like that

SCHOOLS ASSURED

Austin, Texas. June l0.--An ap-
preparation Of 100000 to supply
the available school fund for the next
scholastic session was voted by the
House today in the zeal passage Of
the committee bill with its recon-
mendation Of 100000 stricken
out. On final passage the vote was
/ l04 ayes. no noes, and one member,
King of Erath, marked present and

Senate, where the Finance Commit

and thus the school fund is practical

intendent.
Representative Barry Miller Of
Dallas and Others made desperate

the amount finally passed. Follow
ing the engrossment Of the bill and
the suspension of the constitutional
rule requiring the bill TO be read on
three separate days. he offered an
amendment which sought 10 enlarge

resentative Pope moved 10 table the
amendment. BY a vote Of 81 TO 40
the motion prevailed.

Previous 10 the engrossment Rep
resentative Raiden proposed an
amendment which would grant an APP

was defeated. The amount finally
agreed on in the House was the to-
tai recommended By the Appropria-
tons Committee, which submitted a
substitute for the committee amend
ment giving 100000.
One Of the arguments presented
by members Of the House was against
appropriating the largest sum, and
not leaving a balance in the State
Treasury which would be large

for the State Government. During
this discussion, Governor Hobby sent
in message inclosing letters from

Group AppraisaIs Invaluable.

Property owners in all parts of
the country nave recognized the
value of group appraisaIs by real
estate board members. Many real
estate boards in the country have
established a large clientele of
property owners who prefer group
appraisals to individual appraisals.
The Buffalo real estate board has
served the government in several
appraisals. Three members of the
board, serving on a board appraisal
committee, recently completed the
appraisal of industrial property to
the value of more than 1900, 900.
The fact that three men go out to-
gether to appraise a parcel of va
cant or improved real estate means
that every detail as to location,
convenience. adaptability for any
class of residential or industrial
purpose, will be covered in the re-
0ort rendered.-Realty News, Buff

TRACE HISTORY
OFREALTY ADS
Custom Started Back in
1850 by Newspaper Edi-,
tor, Old Files Show.

For 11s years the New vork Eve
ming Post has been under continu-
Gus publication. 1t is therefore a
good medium in which to study the
genesis and growth Of the real es-
tate ad.
A writer some months ago went
through the old files of the Post.
He could find no evidence of the
real estate broker prior to 1870.
Houses for sale or to let were occa-
sionally advertised by the owners,
and legal notices of real estate auc-
ton sales were published regularly.
But in the late forties appear ad-
vertisements of town and country
properties, bearing names recurring
so frequently that IL was deemed
safe to assume the bearers of these
names were engaged chiefly in the
sale of real estate. The names of
these pioneer agents and brokers are
appended only to a few lines of
occasional advertising. when IL was
urgent that a dwelling house be
sold. 1t was evident that the build
ing power OF ADVERTISING had not
yet been applied to real estate.
Started by, Editor.
Credit for starting real estate sd-
vertising is given Parke Goodwin,
managing editor OF the Post in 1850.
Mr.. Goodwin could see no reason why
advertising would not sell real es-
tate on a big scale, but he found
the realty agent of 1850 a hard man
to convince. He determined TO
prove the selling power of adver-
tising and published for one year,
without charge, the advertisement
of L. H. Ludlow and Company, then
New York's biggest realty Arm. The
Ludlow firm had a banner year and
signed an advertising contract ev-
cry year of its active existence
thereafter Others followed. Thus.
1t is said, began real estate sdver-
tising in New York City.
The Post reproduces a few of the
representative real estate ads that
appeared in that paper from 1850
to 1861. The earliest Ludlow ads
were nothing more than perfume
tory listing of their properties.
Other ads branchcd out somewhat
