Attention In Foreused.s

With the converting OF Congress
near at hand, all interests are focus
ing their attention on what may he
, done in a legislative way to cure
building evils. Builders are known
to be strongly opposed 20 having the
government enter the construction
field, as has been done in England.
and they are prepared to conduct a
stiff fight in the event measures to
this effect are proposed, it is under
stood.
Rental Legislation also is frowned
upon by local real estate men, as they
claim this is a hindrance to building
operations and capable Of exerting a
ldemoralizing influence on the rental
business. The Ball rent act, passed
! at the last session, continues under
fire from this source, and local real
estate men generally ignore the Dis
trict Rent Commission. 1t is the firm
belief of real estate men that the
United States Supreme Court will de-
clare the act unconstitutional

and Philadelphia. heads OF large real

be asked to submit testimony on the
causes of the housing shortage in the
National Capital. it's extent and pos
sible steps necessary toward a solu-
ton, temporary or permanent. Repre-
sentatives of employing contractors and
of the various labor unions which con-
tribute workers to the building trades
also are in line for questioning.
It is believed that officers OF the Real
Estate Brokers' Association will be
among the first called to testify, In view
of the fact that they are known TO Se

association some time ago appointed a
special committee to investigate the
housing shortage in Washington, nam
ing Charles w. Fairfax as chairman
This committee has made an extensive
study of the local situation and has
announced it's findings, although re-
serving for the time being formal
recommendations with regard to what
should be done to remedy the existing
conditions.
Data Is Compiled.
Mr.. Fairfax's committee has COM
piled data on the rental situation In

These replies showed that Washing.

conferences. This body already has

agreed that all real estate mortgages
should be exempted from the income

FILL ESSENTIAL NEEDS

The foundations of a business boom
are being laid in this country today,
according to Clarence W. Barron. edi-
tor and publisher of the Boston News
Bureau and widely known as a writer
on finance and economics. Instead Of
being depressed by present conditions
and the stringency Of the money mar
|. ket, Mr.. Barron takes the view that the
cycle is being completed. and that in
1921 business conditions will be good.
The money situation is being made
right, an dthere IS no oversupply Of
manufactured goods in this country. In
two facts lies the cause of his op-
timism.
Essential Goods Consumed.
'arhe transcendent fact is," said Mr..
Barron. in an interview. that in this
country essential goods have been con-
$Sumed during the last six months to q
greater extent than they have been
manufactured. In this country we pro-
coed in series of booms and panics.
and there are only two things needed
to right the situation, lower food prices
and lower money rates. and both are
arriving daily"
Mr.. Barron said that the stock market
always HQuidated first and that the
liquidation should now be nearly over.
Wall street loans are down to less than
a billion dollars. There is a steady flow
of sound securities out Of Wall street
into investment boxes. and no business
man can remember when he paid as
high for money or found securities pay
ing 30 high a rate Of investment return
as At present. This means that the
scales have got to turn. he said.
ES Money Rate Regulates.
sfhe money rate is the regulator OF
values and the registrar Of values" he
continued. when the rate for capital
is too high. securities fall. goods fall
indeed. everything that enters into the
cost Of living falls until Indebtedness is
Iquidated down to a point where money
begins to accumulate. This is the whole
, round Of liquidation.
ITO see the situation clearly you must
contrast less than 81. .00e. .000. 900 of Wall
street loans with $40, ,000. .O00. 900 Of loans
outstanding in our banking system.
Back of the 1000. 000. 900 In loans
are billions Of consumable commodities
which the entire world stands in need OF
ind will buy at reasonable concessions
in prices.
'arhe moment these concessions are
made in what we call readtuetment the
commodities move into consumption
over the world, bank loans are paid and
money begins TO accumulate In the
banks.

This is essentially Home. Comfort and archi-

can create is in evidence. even in minute de-
tails Quality is dominating factor throughout
The exteriors are of the original colonial OF
two influenccs-Dutch and English. They are
replicas of original homes and produced only
as an architect like Mr.. Heaton can interpret
them.
The entry hall is wide and sets off the pure
colonial stairs, as well as gives direct access
to the kitchen and clothes closet.
The big living room has replica of an orig,
;nal fireplace especially designed mantel and
pleasing wall space, which prevents furniture
crowding.
Through wide entryway, it opens into the ,,
tfree-windowed dining room. where also wall
space received ample consideration.
From this, through two big mahogany doors.
we enter the CLUBROOM, extra room on
