new COMPANY BUYS
ROSEMARY BUSINESS LOTS
Unsold Lots From Ninth Street to Roa.
noke Junction Pass into Hands Of
Rosemary Real Estate Company. To
be Offered for Quick Sale at Low
Figures.
OVER FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLAR DEAL

The largest transfer of com
mercial real estate in this com
munity since the purchase OIL
Roanoke Avenue by the Roanoke
Avenue Development Company
was completed this week, when
the holdings Of the Roanoke
Avenue Development Company
of lots from Ninth Street-site
of the new First Christian
Church-to Roanoke Junction
passed into the hands of
the Rosemary Real Es-
tate Company. The transfer
consists of sixty lots, thirty-four
located between Ninth and Tenth
Streets and twenty-six between
Thirteenth Street and Roanoke
Junction.
We learn from the Rosemary
Real Estate Company that all Of
these lots are to be restricted
solely for business uses. Be-
tween Ninth and Tenth Streets
only brick buildings may be
erected, two stories in height,
and conforming to standard fire
zone requirements. The Com
pany believes that this block
will eventually be the center of
commercial activity, certainly
for Rosemary proper, and possi-
bly, for the entire community. At
the Junction, while no restric-
tions are placed upon the mater
ials used in construction, the
property has been restricted for
business purposes.
The policy of the new Com
pany, whose incorporators are
Geo. L. Hayes, Jr., L. G. Shell,
E. A. MATHEWS and ]. T. Stain
back, is to offer for quick sale
their entire holdings. Lots not
purchased within sixty days will
probably be removed from the
market and certainly held for
prices much higher than they
are now quoting. It is the first
real estate company to be organ
lied in the community dealing
purely in Rosemary real estate
and is another indication of the
exceptional growth along COM
lines now being made by
our "other half. The Company
expects to sell at least fifty per
cent Of their holdings within the
next thirty days.

is to lure men. When she feels her

any moment--she obtains the same
sort of a thrill that an unarmed man
feels when he encounters a lion in

most important factor in real success.
Fourth, learn to delegate details
TO other people and don't try to do
everything yourself. Most women
fail because they try to do 100 per
cent job themselves, instead of allow
ing others to do things in more
efficient way.
Fifth, keep your head up, a smue
on your face, and don't rush. Mad
rushing about and habitual business
is the worst thing in the world to
destroy real efficiency.
Sixth, don't try TO be man. Just

European Country.
LOW EXCHANGE is BIG AID
Gives Germany Advantage In Laying
Her Commercial Lines In Little
Nations About Her-Bitter
at United States.
BY HAROLD &. BEcHToL.


Berlin.-1 have been taveling in
central Europe for months. l have
visited farms and factories and stores
and banks and government offices.
A marked difference is noticeable as
soon as the German frontier is
crossed
There is more energy and zip In
Germany; there is less laziness; trains
move regularly; clerks in stores are
we'll stated; wagons and cars and
freight trains Zone of the rarest sights
in Europe) move briskly; smoke comes
from the stacks of at least some Of
the factories.
German factory owners say Made
in Germany" goods can never again
depend on cheapness for sale abroad.
They point out that her sources of ma
terial are cut and that the old long
hours and cheap labor are gone.
Yet Germany bid far lower than
anybody else on contract for metal
uniform buttons for the Czecho-Slo-
wax army recently. l could cite sew
eral other cases.
Germany has big advantage in lay
ing her commercial lines in the little
nations about her Sentiment aside of
course) because of the fact that her
exchange is very low. like theirs.
From Germany alone, among the
big nations, can the new nations get
values approximating what their
money represents to them.
Germany's Bright Side.
That Is, for Germany, the bright side
of a bad situation. Her mark is worth
under a nickel, about a sixth of par.
She has got to have a credit before she
can buy cotton and copper from Amer
lea. She can't buy with marks.
Government officials urge a credit
for the hope it would give the Ger
man people as they enter on a hard
winter.
The same pleas, of course, are made
by the other nations of central Eu-
rope some of whom helped the allies
to win the war.
American observers here say the
Bauer government is doing the best
