WARNS OF "REALTOR."
President of Real Estate Board.
Tells of Promiscuous Use.

Fred E. Taylor of Portland, Ore,
president of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards. has issued a
warning through the current issue of
the National Real Estate Journal
against promiscuous use of the word
"realtor" by real estate men not af
filiated with the national association.
He points out that a test case in
court has given judicial dignity to the
word as a title belonging exclusively
to members of the national body.
Webster's dictionary defines the word
as follows: "Realtor-a real estate
broker who is a member of q local
board having membership in the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards"

CONGRESS FOR
SMALLER ARMY

Washington, Jan. 17.-Congress
voted today 10 limit the size of the
regular army to l75.000 enlisted men.
The senate by a vote Of Al TO 3S
set aside its decision of last week to
reduce the army to 10000 men and
then without a record vote adopted
the original joint resolution of Sem
ator New, Republican, Indiana, di-
recting the secretary of war TO stop
recruiting until the army is cut to
175,0O0 men.
The house ten minutes later adopt
ed joint resolution sponsored by
Chairman Kahn Of it's military at
fairs committee also directing the
secretary Of war to cease enlist
ments until there are not more than
$4,000 enlisted men in the regular
establishment. The house vote was
2S5 to 4. only Representatives Bee,
Texas, Blackmon. Alabama, and
Coady, Maryland, Democrats, and
Cramton, Michigan, q Republican,
standing out against the reduction.
The resolutions adopted by the two
houses are almost identical III their
provisions, each providing that the
$4,000 limit shall not prevent the
reenlistment Of men who have served
one or more enlistments in the mill
tary service The language Of the
two measures. however, differs some
what and either the senate or house
will send its resolution to conference
for rearrangement. Action by the
joint conference committee of the
two houses is expected to be taken
speedily and the resultant measure
sent to the president.
The action OF the two houses was
taken against the recommendations
Of the war department heads and
General Pershing. Secretary Baker
in appearing before the senate mill
tary affairs committee advised
against an army OF less than 100000
men after the present necessity of
economy had been relieved" Cen
eral Pershing told the same commit
tee that an army Of 100000 men con-
stituted a safety margin.
