Il. <. Simon Calls Attention
10 The Larger Ownership
Class III France: lie Urges
Homes for Middle Class

Robert Z. Simon told the corvcn-
ton Of the Real Estate Association Of
the State OF New ork held Inst wrei.
at Rochester,, that every effort should
be made to encourage home ownership,
whether in the single or two family
house, or by cooperative ownership in
the multi-family house.
'The large percentage Of tenantry is
one OF the dangers in our country to-
day" said Nh. Simon. ~Whilc France
has 50 per cent of home owners, the
United States census of 1880 showed
4S per cent, and 1910 only 3S per cent
a decrease of 10 per cent; in 1920 it
probably will be still less. This tide
must be stopped and turned in the op-
posite direction"
He told the convention that in New
York City from Fourteenth to Fifty
ninth Street over 5000 600 square feet
of loft and office space is under con-
struction, while the residential field is
practically stagNant.
due TO the higher rents the apart
ments and houses which should be
available for the workman are being
partly occupied by families who can in
normal times afford to live in more
modern and better quarters Room
must be created for them to move and
vacate the space they now occupy for
their poorer neighPor, and this shift
ing must be started we'll toward the
top. Furthermore, our great sympa-
thy should not be falsely aroused en-
tirely for the laboring man, who is re-
celving Sc a day for unskilled and $40
a day for skilled work, and in addi-
ton, large sums for overtime and
plenty of work for every day in the
week. 1t is the self-respecting middle
class, our clerks, policemen, fremen,
teachers and such who are the greatest
sufferers and who are little heard or
spoken Of
Legislature Scored
The convention scored the rent laws,
the failure Of the Legislature to enact
measures helpful to construction, de-
manded repeal of double taxation or
one taxation of mortgages, and sug-
gested that savings banks and insur-
ance companies be forced to help the
housing situation.

Here the bluff was cut off sharp by
a confused outcry and shuffling OF
feet in the edge of the crowd, nearest
the corridor that led to the wards.
The circle gave way and a ghostly,
giant blonde man with fever, blazing
eyes burst through. For a moment
he blinked unseeingly in the brilliant
light. Then his eyes fixed on Nurse
Writton, who stood directly under
the mistletoe, ash white and motion
less as the statue of Diana in the
Chatau garden.
Then in hoarse voice, strange
voice, strange blend of estrasey and
ineredulity, the man cried out of the
darkness that was lifting from his
brain: Edith
ooh, Tomw sobbed Nurse Winton,

The crowd stood silent in the pres
ence of one of lifes's tremendou dra-
matte condolences.
The Santa Claus colonel broke the
silence with: "And to Nurse Winton,
as was saying, the gift she most de-
sires-her long lost Tom" !.
The celebrates broke into an up

plause that we hear from the relieved

power of a tremendous climax when

been happy and full lof hope She had
gathered mistletoe from an old oak
tree at home in Virginia, she and Lieu

little dreaming how fate and one short

had heard nothing since. The awful
