NEW ENGLAND SEEKS
ANTl-TREATY DELEGATES

Il BOSTON, March 1S.-A movement to
have the New England delegations to
| the democratic national convention
consist of men who will support the
opposition of Senator Walsh of Mas
sachusetts to the administrators s
peace treaty policy was announced

CATION on the early ballots for the
presidential nomination probably will
go to Senator Walsh, according to
Michael A. O'Leary, chairman of the
democratic state committee. MAJ
Walsh said that delegates favorable
to Senator Walsh were in the field in
every district in the state, with the
senator heading the ticket for dele
gates at large. Opposition to the Walsh
movemept has cropped up in two dis
II tricts, where candidates have appear
ed against those who favor the sena-
tor and his policies.
H In effect, Chairman OLeary said,
delegation from this state favoring
II Walsh would be considered as un-
pledged, in that it would be free to
turn its support to any candidate
after a complimentary vote on early
ballots.
/ No effort was made to elect Walsh
delegates in New Hampshire, where
the primaries were held a week ago,
but Maj. Walsh said that a campaign
for delegates who would accept the
/ leadership of Senator Walsh would
| be made in all other New England
states.

SENATOR JOHNSON
CHARGES FRAUD

Charges that "strong-arm tactics
had been adopted by the Wood forces
in the recent Minnesota presidential
preferential primaries and that fraud
had been committed were made by
Senator Hiram Johnson of California,
who returned to Washington today
and announced his intention to con-
test the result. In a statement issued
by him he said:

Expert Declares Housing Situation
Has Been Thrust Into Quicksand
And Government Aid Is Urgent

sorry to say: the creation of some

The housing shortage Is menacing
the life and Health of our citizens.
This is an emergency. Houses must

you must do your part"
Agreement with Contractors
A definite agreement must be
made by the government with the

pay. time limits, etc, he asserted
At the same time labor will have
to be dealt with in a similar fash

year or two, Mr.. WELLER declared
and would by no means become a
permanent plan, as is being worked
out in other countries. After a year
or two individuals would be able
to continue the work themselves, he
said.
While Mr.. WELLER would not esti.
, mate the number of houses il would
be necessary to build in the United
States to relieve the situation, he
said that authorities placed it be-

COLLEGE OPENS
REALTYSCHOOL
Pittsburgh University Starts
Course to Study Real
Estate Problems.

A course in real estate education
has been insugurated by the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh. 1t is con-
Quoted by the Evening School Of
Economics and is designed to be
helpful. not only to young men in
the real estate offices, but also to
all realtors.
This course was the outcome of
cooperative work between the uni
versity and the committee on edu-
cation of the Pittsburgh Real Estate
Board, and is to cover a two-year
period, three evenings per week, on
the satisfactory completion of
which a certificate will be issued to
graduates. The course program is
as follows:
First Year-Principles of busi-
ness, one-half year; salesmanship.
one-half year; bookkeeping, one-
half year; office management. one
half year, and business law, one
year.
Second Year-Business psychol-
ogy. one year; real estate law, one
year; real estate brokerage, one
year.
The course in real estate broker
age Is an advanced course, open to
the older men in real estate, as
well IS to the men taking the sec
ond year of the training course.

SAYS TAX EXEMPTION
HURTS SMALL HOUSES

Because the bill making it optional
for municipalities to exempt new
residential buildings from taxation
applies only to structures of four
stories or more, Isadore Montefiore
Levy, lawyer and real estate oper-
ator, has written to Mayor Hylan ad-
vising that the option be not exer-
cised by New York city. Mr.. Levy
writes that such a measure would
discourage the construction of one
and two family houses, which, he
says. make for the best citizenship.
Builders, Mr.. Levy says, will nat
urally abandon construction of one
and two family houses and proceed
to take advantage Of the tax bonus
offered by building houses of four
stories or more.
Those who favored the tax exemp-
ttion bill laid stress on the fact that
the creation of one and two family
houses could never solve the problem
of housing shortage in cities, and
that therefore anything which tends
to encourage the production of null
tifamily houses comes the nearest to
solving the problem.

MORE WEDDINGS
FEWER HOMES
Unless Quick Remedy Is
Found Country Will Be
Shy In 1926.

One million weddings were cele-
brated in the United States in 1913.
but only 10000 new homes were
erected, 100000 short of the actual
needs. In 1890 an average of 1905
families occupied each 100 homes.
Today there are 125 families Tor
each 100 homes, and no relief Is in
sight. With a conservative estimate
OF 1880, 900 families in the United
States by 1925. at least 100000
homes must be built, and then the
building program would be on
small scale. At these figures, the
country would only have l29.ob
families for each 100 homes.
II something is not done to rem
edy the situation by 1928, with the
increasing number of families, q
200, 900 dwellings will be necessary
The erection Of 100000 homes by
1926 will be necessary IL the country
returns to pre-war conditions OF 1l5
families for each 100 homes.
In certain cities in New York
State the shortage of homes Is SO
great that parents, who have
searched in vain for new quarters.
are, as a last resort, seeking to place
their children in institutions or
boarding houses. County welfare
authorities have received hundreds
of requests in recent months for &C
commodations for the children OF
parents who though In very com.
Portable circumstances can not hnd
rentable houses for their families.

SOLVES BRITISH
| HOME PROBLEM
Hampstead Garden Suburb
Develops Community
Ownership Idea.

ITS all jolly well to look to the
Government to solve your particu-
lar housing problem. but ut the same
time public spirited men and wom-
en-, working Independently, with the
right ideas, can do much toward
aiding the Government In reducing
this problem to a minimum"
That in substance is what Mrs,
Henrietta Barnett had in mind
when, with others interested in
community welfare, she established
the Hampstead Garden Suburb. Ave
miles from London.
Our village now Is a most Mt
tractive place" said Mrs. Barnett in
the New York World. Hampstead
Garden Suburb now has a popula-
tion Of about 10000. The ground
was broken for 1t in 1907 and the
present position of this pioneer ex-
pertinent OF town extension, in spite
Of suspension Of building for over
six years, Is most satisfactory"
Many desperate homeseekers no
doubt would heartily indorse a SIM
liar scheme in this country.
That the housing problem in
England has been more serious than
our own is indicated by the state
ment chat England Is engaged in
the colossal task OF building 500, 900
houses for the people at the tremen-
dous cost of more than $780, 900, 900
every year for a period of sixty
years. The necessity Of shelterins
homeless people became SO acute
that the Government adopted this
plan. In 1927 II will be considered
again by the Government. II II
proves practicable II may be con-
tinued. IL not some improved scheme
may be substituted for it
Under this plan the various mu-
inequalities issue bonds to carry out
their particular schemes. Houses
thus built are rented at the lowest
possible rate and any deficiency be-
yond a certain figure Is aranteed
by the national government. Archi-
tects' plans in endless variety are
provided by the housing committee
of the ministry of health, which has
general supervision of this broad
plan Of home building.

The Washington herald., 1920-11-21

There will be no slump in
Washington real estate. according
to Graeme T. Smallwood. local
realtor, with offices at 72o Four
teenth street northwest. The sit
uation in realty here, he said, is
more likely to partake of the ma
ture of a boom, for it is getting
better every day since the cleo
ton.
Conditions in the realty field
are better now than they have
been for some time" Smallwood
said There is a great demand
for houses OF all classes. The
people seem to be awakening tc
the fact that this forecasted
slump is a myth, and are going
out to buy homes and thus cap
italize on their rent receipts.
The Democrats who were
brought to Washington during the
past eight years of Democratic
administration undoubtedly will
remain in the Capital City, as they
realize that there is no better
place in the country in which tc
live. Some of them may go out oi
the city temporarily subsequent
TO March A but thew will return
New Residents Coming.
AT the same time there will comt
to Washington a great many people
who will be brought here by tbs
new administration. They all mus
have homes. Building is not goine
along fast enough to catch up with
the existing shortage. and there
fore cannot catch UP with the future
demands quickly.
Due to the prevailing shortage
many of those who come will live
in rooms temporarily, but they will
eventually seek homes. This de-
mand will have to be taken care of
There is not likely to be any build
ing on a large scale until spring
The period OF settlement will covel
a few years and will furnish a fint
market for homes. What bettel
outlook could there be for the rea
estate situation?
Prices of homes are not likely q
be one bit cheaper than they are to-
day. Building that will certainl!
come in the spring will cost a!
much IL not more than building a
the present time. While some ma
