Good for Evil.
That night for dinner, five people
sat about the Pendlehaven table. Reg
gle, pale and miserable looking, sat
next to his mother, and Philip Mac
Cauley was opposite Doctor John.
Katherine silent and morose, was at
her own place. She had heard her
mothers version Of the afternoons
happening in amazement and anger,
and 1t only added to her discomfort to
hear Cousin John tell the tale to
Philip.

excused Mrs. Curtis, a dull red
mounting to each high cheekbone.
Pendlehaven laughed.
"She wouldn't have been much use
to him in prison, my dear Sarah" was
his answer. (;

manded Reggie. turning red-rimmed
eyes on his mother.

MEN SET IN "HIGH PLACES"
Ihose Only Admirable Who Remain
AHable and Generous to Those
OF Lower Levels.

Speaking Of the Mount Everest ex-
petition, Sir Francis Younghusband
says: AT great heights men get very
nervous and irritable. At 10000 feet
they begin to lose patience with one
another, and the higher they climb the
deeper they hate"
There Is Il moral in that for men
seeking high attitudes In our common
human life.
May it never be said Of them with
truth: "The higher they climb the
deeper they hate"
1t is Il fine thing to find man who
goes upward to grent heights without
losing his head his nervous equipoise,
his self-cOntrol. 1t is an inspiration
to us who plod and drudge along at
the lower levels to And him generous,
amiable, aifable, ready to meet all
comers and faithful to his friends.
On the other hand. 1t Is deplorable
to come upon man who wins his way
to eminence Of any sort, and In that
lofty station, instead Of looking to
the sky and superior Power, looks
down upon "the common herd and
thinks-and tells--how great he Is In
comparison with them.-Philadelphi

MANY COMPLICATIONS INVOLVED
IN TRANSFER OF REAL ESTATE
Mr.. J. A. Petty of Washington Real Estate
Board Tells of Dangers in Deals
Without Realtors Aid.

Litigation, with consequent ex-
pense and delay, frequently has re-
suited from direct negotiations be-
tween buyer and seller in connection
with a transfer of property, accord
irg to John A. Petty, executive secre-
tary of the Washington real estate
board. Services of competent real estate
brokers insure satisfactory consum-
nation of real estate deals. preclud-
ing future complications, he asserted
today.
Buying and selling real estate is
highly specialized business, or
rather a profession that calls for skill
and training" Mr.. Petty pointed out.
Both study and experience are nee
essary in order to become proficient
in handling the many varied prob
lens that are associated with trans
actIcns involving the transfer of real
estate from one owner to another.
Yet owners desiring to sell, frequently
handle the entire matter direct with
a purchaser without the advice or as
sistance of one experienced in sucl,
transactions. This p-a ctice is fraught
with much danger. because in many
cases litigation. with expense and de-
lay has resulted to the detriment of
both owner and purcha SER
AN experienced and responsible
broker should be employed to handle
transactions of this character just as
one would employ a physician or
lawyer. By ira lining and experience
the realtor is familiar with the pit
falls that must be avoided and knows
the correct method to pursue in order
to accomplish desired results promptly
and accura tely
Procedure Is Simple.

and when the money is actually paid
and satisfactory title proven the de-
livery of an executed deed completes
the transaction. However. in actual
practice it is not such a simple mat
, ter. The purchaser must be located and
property actually sold. This is followed
by formal agreement which is spe-
cihc in covering all conditions and is
signed by both the owner and pur-
chaser Necessary conveyance papers
transferring the title and properly
securing deferred payments must be
correctly drawn and executed. Final
ly the proper adjustments of details,
such as taxes, interest, insurance. etc.
and the proper title examination and
report must he carefully made.
In these different stages the trans
action is subject to many and varied
circumstances and conditions that
call for skill and experience to sat
isfactorily adjust Questions as re-
CARDS responsibility for expenses, III
tie complications. misunderstanding
and disputes over such matters as de-
tails of terms, posse SSion. etc. fire.
quently arise and form the basis of
litigation.
The experienced realtor protects
both himself and his client from such
unpleasant complications by using a
standard contract that is specific in
every detail ard binding on all par
tles. BY being in constant toSch with
buyers and through his well organ
lied efforts he can dispose of prop-
erty much quicker than an individual
owner. His skill in salesmanship and
knowledge of values successfully for
tfy him against attempts to cut
prices. This is the service and pro-
lection that the seller of real estate
pays for in the form of commission,
and it is always more economical
than legal entanglements that fire.
quently result from ignorance and in
experience in handling such trans
actions.
Direct Buying Unwixe.
There is also d common tendency
on the part of some purchasers to at
tempt to buy d;r-ct from an owner
rather than through the agency of
some broker. This. for many rea-
sons. is also unw!se. An experienced
broker actually practicing his pro-
fession knows where the best prop
critics for sale can be found and he
also knows where the best values eX-
ist. This knowledge and experience
is invaluable to prospective pur-
chaser, who is so frequently unfa-
miliar with values and conditions.
Then, again. the active broker is
in touch with financial conditions. and
usually through his connections and
by reason of his experience in such
matters can arrange mortgages IN
order to finance the purchase of real
estate that would be very difficult for
the average individual.
Generally speaking. one buys a
, home but once in a lifetime. and il is,
therefore, a serious matter that
should be given serious attention. IL
the services of a competent broker
are engaged the prospective pur-
i chaser is assured that his interest
/ will be carefully guarded and that
| his entire transaction VIII be sur
rounded with the fullest protection.
