ties is only 81 per cent higher than in
1913, but that wages in the local build
ing trades are 81 per cent higher and
the cost of building materials 1O2 per
cent higher. Human nature is just the
same as it was before there were any
investigating committees or tax exemp-
tion law. Labor is going to remain as
Nigh as it can just as long as it can,
end the merchants who sell building
materials are going to keep prices up
IN their lines just as long as It is prac-
ticable
There are probably three things the
matter with building at the present
time-frst, scarcity of mortgage
money; second, lack of cooperation
from labor, and, third, high levels in
prices OF building materials.
In conclusion, allow me to say that
we need no more legislation. We have
laws enough. We should get rid of
some of our laws We should repeal
the so-called rent laws or modify them
to such an extent that landlord can
get a fair deal and not be subject to
the verdicts of juries, 80 per cent of
whom are tenants. In addition, we
should eliminate from the provisions
of the income tax laws, both state and
national, the interest from real estate
mortgage investments. If these two
things could be accomplished we would
get houses. and plenty of them.

Cooperation for New Law
kraerner Wants the Violators'
Names; Asks Vigilance
Against Unworthy

The following letter regarding the
state licensing law, as applied to real
estate brokers and statesmen in New
Jersey, effective September 6, has just
been issued by C. F. Kraemer, presi-
dent of the Real Estate Board of New
ark, to the real estate profession of
that city:
"The hour is fast approaching when
your business will become legalized
and a state supervised profession. No
longer will the unscrupulous and ir-
responsible curbstone broker thrive at
the expense of the reliable and we'll
established real estate firms The pub
lie is entitled to this protection. This
profession is worthy of high and
lofty business morale and etiquette,
and only such American citizens who
are desiraus of adopting same as live
lihood, wiling TO comply with the high
est business tandards, should be per-
mitted to enter the ranks.
"Now that we have established this
state licensing law, it behooves every
realtor to cooperate in bringing to the
real estate boards attention the names
OF such who are violating the same,
and the names of such who are en-
deavoring to procure licenses not wor-
thy of the same. This board welcome IS
any assistance or advice that realtors
will advance and feels itself respon-
sible for every one licensed in this dis
trict. 1t will leave nothing undone to
see that only those who are entitled
to the privileges are permitted to en-
ter the profession's ranks.
Gas you no doubt know, the real
estate license law will go into effect
on October l, 1921. Every person, firm,
association, partnership or corporation,
whether operating under a trade name
or otherwise. to engage directly or in
directly in the business of real estate
broker, or salesman within New Jersey,
must obtain a license, and it is unlaw-

tober l.
''If firm, association, partnership or
corporation designate one official m en-
Der only to take out its brokers' IL

thereof acting must each obtain sales
mans license also
The state has been divided into three
districts, as follows:
First o strict-Bergen, Essex, Hud-
son, Morris. Passaic, Sussex and War
rem counties.
Second district-Hunterdo Mercer,

The commissioners appointed by the
Governor are Frank Stevens, Jersey

Not Only Bees, but Men.

What's the matter with the usually
orderly and well behaved bee? II
one day, from widely separated parts
Of this country, come reports OF her
tantrums. In Yolo county. Califor-
mia, bees killed horse and forced
twenty mules to retire from work. In
Kentucky, near Lexington, bees have
held the pike against all trafic,
guarding a honey tree which fell
across the highway. In Wisconsin a
bee stung a motorist on the nose,
the ditching of the car resulting.
The misbehavior of the bees this
season is exceeded only by that of
mankind. There are more murders
nowadays than usual; or, at least,
more interesting murders. Women
shoot men without even first moving
to Nassau county. And there are
dozens Of other killings that have
either romance or mystery to light
them up. 1t is midsummer, and al
though the heat is absent the pro-
verbal madness seems to be about.

tance. The patronage must newt
ably be limited, but its extent may
always be approximately estimated.
With the necessity of improve
ment before their eyes some club
officials have succeeded in making
their dining rooms more attractive
than they were in the past; mum
ber of these restaurants have been
raised to such a degree Of excellence
that they are beginning to be a
source of profit rather than loss.
Surely this is an approach to the
millennium in club administration.
1t has been secured, moreover, with
out the necessity Of professional aid.
In every case some member possess
ing knowledge of good living and the
more important gift of being able to
secure its blessings has come to the
rescue. The club cuisine can best be
improved by a member who knows
just what he and his comrades are
in search of when they enter the din
ing room. Thus it has come about
that the Improvement in club facili-
ties has been accomplished by men,
bers, whereas In the past outside
assistance failed.

Bridging the Hudson.
Advantages Of Single Span at ver-
Dlancks Point.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Has 1t
ever occurred to the promoters of the
pontoon bridge across the Hudson River
at Yonkers what would happen to the
pontoons in the spring when the great
ice fields come floating down the Hudson
with a six mile tide running?
In the first place, the anchor chains Mt
an angle of rs degrees upstream would
form a slide for the Ice, which would
be pushed UP the chains and over the
bridge, crushing everything before It.
And what chains and anchors would be
required to hold this tremendous ice field
backl This so-called pontoon bridge
looks more like dream than a reality.
II these promoters want TO bridge the
Hudson why not go to verplancks Point,
where the river Is very narrow, and
make one span across at this point7
There Is q rock formation on both shores
at the river edge where they could get
n good footing. Then connect the bridge
with the Albany road on the east and
the new highway on the west bank, thus
making a permanent crossing for the
proposed bridge. This is but a short
run from New York city.

spiritual and moral influence of Amert-
can schools In the Balkans was highly
praised by NJ. Panaretoff, former Bull
garian Minister to the United States. in
his lecture before the Institute OF Poll
tics at Williams College tonight. He
traced the great difficulties under which
education in the Near East had labored
for years. and added:
"As in America. so in the Near East.
American education aims at impartins
to those who como under its influence a
love for honest work. perseverance,, self
reliance, manliness. broader views of
life and spirit OF federation. So far
as instruction goes II cannot be denied
that with the present equipment which
they possess and with corps OF in
structors. q great many OF whom have
university education. the native insti-
tutions of learning do not fall below the
American; but II is universally recos.
nized that the spiritual and moral in.
fluence OF the native schools leaves
much to be desired, and It Is In this
particular that the American schools
stand on much higher level"
