MRS. MINAR SETS
RECORD FORSALE
OF BUILDING LOTS
Lyon Park Subdivision
Proves Popular With
Buyers.

In the field of real estate. until q
few years ago almost monopolized
by men. and particularly the sales
branch of this locality. there has
been a noted entrant In the person
Of Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar. who re-
Gently took over the sales depart
ment for Lyon Park, a suburban
site on the Falls Church branch of
the Washington and Virginia Rail-
way.
In probably no other city have
women been more successful, as
realtors than In Washington, al
though they are receiving conspicu-
Gus honors elsewhere. 1t was only
few weeks go that the real estate
board of New York elected Mrs.
Gcrritt Smith to active membership.
Mrs. Smith was the first woman to
receive this distinction, although
others before her had been received
into associate membership.
In Washington the women are
entering every branch of the real
estate business, including houses,
rentals, apartment management
sales management and subdivision
work. The success OF Mrs. MinaI
has come in the sale of high class
building lots. in which she has
specialized.
Since spring weather tempted
homeseekers out a few weeks age
more than $4,000 worth of prop
erty (about sixty lots) has beer
sold in Lyon Park by Mr.. Minar',
organization. When II is considered
that this amount of property sold
in the District at a similar dis
tance from the center of town
three miles-would have cost the
purchasers from two to six time,
as much, the significance of the
achievement is readily seen.
Frank Lyon. an attorney in the
Colorado Building. and c. w. Fitch
q civil engineer, are the owners
and developers of Lyon Park. They
have just added two new subdivi-
sions to their property, which they
will develop along the lines well
known to residents of Arlington
County. In the new sections streets
are being put through and homes
built. The firm also is installing
sewers, gas and electricity, i'm
provements which, all of Lyon Park
enjoys.

New York Auctioneer Expects Heavy Sales in
Marshall Brown Syndicate Property.

Due to exorbitant rents and the
general acuteness of the housing
situation throughout the country,

comprising 40 building plots on
and adjoining Georgia avenue.
Whenever the citizenship of this
country has been brought to the
test, It has always been found that
the home owners of the country
were the bedrock uopn which our
liberties rested" Mr.. Day declared.
''and for this reason there has swept
over the country a sincere desire
on the part of all good citizens to
aid and encourage all men and
women who desire to secure homes
Of their own"
Mr.. Day predicted a strong auction

unimproved property.

which has been out OF the market

investors for their own occupancy,
and there will be also many pur-

tive manner the existence of real

The Park estate auction sale de-
veloped an entirely new set OF buy
ers-people who are anxious to buy
few lots for their homes. This
auction sale was the largest ever

Proposal to build a 5000. 900
home for the Federal Reserve Board
here in Washington is found In one
section of the bill now being con-
sidered by the House Committee on
Banking and Currency. which would
abolish the office of controller Of
the currency and create an Under

tue of his office would be a mem
Der of the Federal Reserve Board.
The plan is to pay for this pro-
posed new structure out of the earn
ings of the Federal Reserve, system
AMI no appropriation is asekd. The
arguments presented before the
House Committee in favor of such a
building are that ii is costing the
government at least $4,000 for
rental in outside buildings. due to
the fact that the Fcseral Reserve
system has not only been crowding
out other activities in the Treasury
Building, but itself occupies some
rented quarters: The Federal farm

take quarters In the old land once
