D. c. REAL. ESTATE
Many Show Real Business
Ability in Disposing of
Properties.

Women have won permanent
pace in the real estate field of the
District, even to the point of re
piaclng men as statesmen in several
offices. it was declared today by
realtors having members of the fair
sex on their sales and rental forces.
Sentiment does not enter into the
innovation. the women themselves
asserted Indignantly when this sug-
gestlon was preached to one or two.
1heir employers back them up I'M
eequivocally in this stand. too. hold
ing that it is solely a matter of bet
ter craftsmanship.
AT present there are at least half
dozen well known real estate firms
having saleswomen and in every case
cess, 1t is stated. One firm. which
confines itself to buying large plots
OF ground for subdivision purposes
within the District, has substituted
young women almost entirely for
men, having found that the results
OBTAINED are much more gratifying

Guard Against Free Rides.
Another phase is presented to the
young lady calling into action her
natural sense of womanhood and in
dependence. She must be able after
few words to determine in her own
mind the sincerity of the customers
acquiescence with regard to driving
out to the premises. AS one young
saleswoman, who has been in the
game" for more than a year, eX-
planned, the question instantly re-
yolving in her mind is, Does he just
want to take ride or does he mean
business"
This question is a delicate one to
decide and to handle such a situation
automatically, in the event of her
arrival at the former conclusion. re-
quires the exercise of good judg-
ment and tact to a high degree" she
said.

INCREASE HITS BUILDERS.
New Wage Scales Add Burden to
Construction Costs.

Wage increases granted laborers
employed on construction work in
the District during the last six
months have dealt a heavy blow to
builders. New wage scales announced
by the Building Trades Council show
that the cost of labor in the construc
ton of buildings in Washington has
increased in the aggregate more than
$500 a hour during the SiX-month
period. representing the total of in
creased costs for all local operations
under way.
The new scales indicate an approx
innate yearly increase in wages OF
100000. 1t was pointed out that the
wage scales of virtually all crafts
men of the council during the last six
months came up for reimbursement and
in most cases advances Were agreed
upon.
New scales for the ensuing year
have all been virtually agreed on,
