REAL ESTATE men
HERE STRIVE FOR
BETTER HOUSING
Thousands of Persons
Jammed in Comfort
less Quarters.
NORMALCY DESIRED
Fred B. Smith, Realtor, Says
Housing Situation Is
In Chaos.

Realtors and builders Of homes in
the National Capital a > struggling
TO swing back to ormalcy the
housing situation in the city.
Thousands of persons are made
quately housed despite the fact that
the war is over and Washington has
regained her peacefulness.
Besides their endeavors to meet
the cry for more homes, realtors and
builders are confronted with the
problem Of housing the foreign
delegates attending the conference
on the Limitation of armament
how long will the arms parley last
and for how long a period will the
delegates remain in the city are
questions of vital concern to the
realtors, for they realize that
v ashington has no great abund-
ance of homes.
The city, Of course, has no resi-
dents who camp out because they
have failed to find homes, and few
persons sleep on the park benches
because of the housing shortage
But, nevertheless, Washington could
very easily welcome a large sup
ply Of homes.
What is meant by the serious
housing situation in the city is the
fact that many families are jammed
in quarters which could well be
torn down. Men of. today want
comfort and this is the first re
quisite of a home. realtors declare.
The Real Estate Board well knows
this and they are working for a
better condition.
Fred B. Smith. chairman of the
housing committee before the
fifteenth annual convention of the
National Association of Real Estate
EOards pointed out:
During the past year the hous-
ing situation has taken saw tooth
lines. 1t was acute last January
1t was not as acute in the spring
and 1t is not nearly as acute today
as it was last spring. but we ex-
pect in the natural course-tt will
become acute again. The condition
is in a chaotic stage"
That there has been some relief
during the year gone by there can
be no gainsaying and this fact is
we'll brought out by Chairman
Smith as follows:
Maintenance Costs Increased.
The exodus of men and women
from every part Of this country 10
war camps and to Europe left an
Over-suppIy of housing and at the
same time maintenance costs were
Increased.
The restrictions placed upon
house building during the war. or
the return Of these men and women
TO their usual vocations did not
materially reduce the cost Of main
tenance but with normal increases
in families and new marriages, ex-
hausted the supply This was
further reduced by the attraction of
high wages in cities and towns of
a former rural population.
But with a tightening in the
times during the past year there
has been a doubling up and
movement back to the country, be-
cause of lack of employment which
has relieved the shortage in cities,
so that there is no severe shortage
In housing in our Judgment at the
present time.
This fall, however, may possibly
bring a stronger demand for hous-
Ing and to provide for the future it
will be necessary to have money
released to supply this demand. We
sstimat ted that 1t will take five

armament.
While expressing approval of the

ference he said the United States
should go ahead with its present navy
programs until a definite agreement
had been reached at least by the five
great powers.
''We should steer clear of drifting
into pacifist state of mind simply be-
cause we are discussing this subject,
General Pershing asserted. None OF
us wants war. but we do not want TO
be caught unprepared if war comes.
Until some agreement is had
would say that the safe policy for the
United States to pursue would be to
continue our army and navy programs
and not allow ourselves to be caught
unprepared as we were at the begin
ming Of the world war. 1t is unsafe
and unwise for one nation to disarm
at such time as this unless the 9th
ers do likewise. | think | am in po'
sition to know, better than any other
man, what unpreparedness meant at
the beginning Of the war"
The nations of the world know, the
general added, that Americas econom
ic position would enable it to outstrip
the world in military preparation if
it so desired and therefore they would
realize the sincereity Of move for
disarmament il Initiated by this coun
try and would subscribe to it gladly.

Long Lines of Citizens Passed Before

of Dead Governor.

Augusta, Me-, Feb. o-Hundreds of
men, women and children with heads
bowed in sorrow, hushed in the pres

10Th governor.
In the huge rotunda of the capitol,
with its massive pillars and walls hung
with the black and white of mourning,
the bronze casket containing the body
of the man who reached his life's am
bition only to serve as chief executive
for few short weeks, rested in a
mass of flowers, silent tributes from
his friends.
The long lines of citizens passed the
bier Of the man whom they had so re-
Gently chosen as their leader and to
whom to-day they paid their mark of
respect There was much evidence of
the deep sorrow which has been ap-
parent about the capital the past three
days and, in many instances, friends
of the late governor wept as they
gazed upon his face for the last time.
This was only the beginning Of the
impressive ceremonies which close the
great book of his life. The ceremony of
the state will be held here to. morrow
morning when officials of Maine and
the nation will unite with the private

Restricted

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2.-The au'
thority of the government to issue per
mits for the withdrawal of liquor
from bonded warehouses is limited to
manufacturers and wholesale drug
gists, Attorney General Palmer rules
in an opinion made public to-day by
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Will
liams.
Issuance of permits for the disposi-
tion of liquor by wholesale also IS linn
tied to manufacturers and wholesale
druggists.
Commissioner Williams said thai
while the attorney generals opinion
eliminated the wholesale liquor dealers
from the right to permit, it was not
the intention of the bureau TO inter
fere with the disposition OF their pres.
ent stocks. He declined to say what
regulations would be adopted covering
liquor in bonded warehouses owned by
wholesale dealers, but suggested that it
might be possible for the dealers to
dispose of their bonded stocks by the
transfer OF the warehouse certificates
to wholesale druggists or manufactur-
ers entitled to permits.
Mr.. Palmers ruling on the question
of permits for the sale in wholesale
quantities of liquor is limited to al,

OF his 50 years, SO were spent in the

first as an errand boy and later be-
ing allowed to feed the press. 1t was
in this office he served his apprentice
ship.
He was born in the Isle of Wight,
England, May %, 1888, the son OF
James and Hanna Cave. When he was
but three years old his parents emf
grated to America and with them he
moved to Montpelier in 1866. After
few years, Mr. Cave, with Winsiow
Avery, went to Plymouth, Mass, pur-
chased the old Colony Sentinel and re-
mained in the business for four years.
He then sold out to his partner in or
der to return to Montpelier, in 1875,
residing there until 1885, when he came

anniversary together with their four
children, now surviving them, Frank

C. Philip Curtis of Sharon, Mass.
Mr.. Cave was particularly proud OF
the fact that he was in the printing
trade SO wears ago, and it was only at
the sale of his business eight years ago
that he retired from it. He continued
as active as ever, and even this fall
made an occasional visit upon his
downtown friends
In Masonic circles. Mr.. Cave was
very prominent, for as secretary, he
served the lodge and chapter OF Mont
pelier for % successive years, later
serving the Barre chapter for several
wears in similar office.
All his life he had been intimately
connected with the progress and affairs
Of the Methodist church, and for a
great number of years held offices in
the governing board, being steward for
long period
A man of such sterling quality and
faithful service to his fellow men had
large circle Of friends, and his death
brings sorrow to them.
The funeral will be held Friday
morning at 10 o'clock. Rev, B. G.
Lipsky will ofiiciate, and interment
will be in Green Mount cemetery in
Montpelier.

loved the privilege Of celebrating their
