MULF FORD ONE IF. FEW RELIGIOUS RAGE DRIVERS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May go - (Specia)-One can hardly imagine a race driver being very religious, yet you have to look no farther than Ralph Mulford to get an example.
 Mulford, who is entered in the 500- mile dash for glory and gold at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Monday. May 3o,, does not smoke. chew or drink He says: T smoke judge from the clean wholesome life that Ralph leads, it would suggest by comparison that a number of people we know will not only smoke, but burn. in the hereafter. Ralph does not swear either, not even the tiniest swear word ever passes his lips He would not think of working on his car on Sunday, not even if it were possible to complete the job for a race the following day.
 His wife always attends the race meets in which he competes and

NASH SHOWS JUMP
 IN CAR SALES

Business with the Nash Motors company is good, which may be taken as an indication of general improve ment in most sections of the country.
 Tn stating that business with our company iss good" said Joe McAleer of the Phoenix Nash company, dis tributors of the Nash motor car, "I would not wish to be understood as meaning that the country as a whole at this time even is approaching nor mai. But there is an improvement generally throughout the country, much more pronounced in some sec tions than in others.
 Our Kenosha factory this month is operating 79 per cent normal and our new plant in Milwaukee is gain ing in production daily. Orders for May show a healthy increase over April. In this connection looking back over the period through which | the country has just passed. it may be of interest to know that in no 1 month was production of the Nash six and the Nash four totally sus | pended.
 "In fact production records of the Nash Motors company tell an inter esting story. The general slump | showed it's effect on the automobile | industry the latter part of October. | Nash production for that month was 2,45e ears. In November production 1 dropped to 1,295 cars and the low l ebb was reached in December. with | total of TIA cars-siXes and fours. 1 In January the tide began to turn. very slightly. it is true, but in that | month there were produced LOIS !

DUN I COST AS
 MUCHASMANY
 PEOPLE THINK

There are many misleading tales floating around of the great cost of building the smaller type of cars into classy looking racing speedsters. There is more fiction than truth in such tales.'' according to l.. H. Sorey, branch manager of the Western Auto Supply agency The Western Auto Supply agency have one of the largest stocks of speedster bodies in the west and carry innumerable accessories with which to doll up these cars.
 Take for example the average mo- torist who comes into our store to have new speedster body put on and the old touring or roadster body re- moved For a moderate sum of money he can get the body, top, 16 or eight valve head in the motor, if his car is a Ford, shock absorbers, fly wind l shields and spot light. After these l have been installed the motorist has a machine as fast. powerful. easy rid I ing and good looking as can possibly be wanted among the smaller makes | of cars. The total expense of the renovating job will not cost over s20o | to $250 and yet the machine to all 1 outside appearances will he a brand ' new car with a special body.
 Before going to the expense of a
 new body and extras it is advisable
 to have the motor and running parts
 of your car thoroughly overhauled
 It is cheaper in the end to have this
 work done before the new body is ! fitted on because it is easier for the mechanic to work on the bare chassis
 and when working with the body COW
 ering the motor there is always the
 chance of marring it. Nothing sounds
 worse than to own a good looking
 machine and have the rattles under
 meath be dead bive-away, cons | cluded MT. Sorey.

BROOKLYN Is SECOND
CITY IN BUILDING
Displaces Detroit, Next to Chi
cago, With Total Plans
Of S80.931,166.

The Borough of Brooklyn will rank
second among the cities of the United
States in building activity in 1920, ac-
cording TO the annual report of Borough
President Edward Riegelmann published
yesterday.
Last year Detroit occupied that posi-
ton, ranking next after Chicago. At
the close OF business in the Brooklyn
building bureau on December 81, 1920,
reports show that plans and specifica-
tions for new buildings and building
alteration filed amount to SS0,931, ,166.
This is more than $4,000, 900 below the
1919 total, but the total number of plans
for new buildings is greater in 1920 and
more families will be Accommodated the
report states.
Plans providing for the construction
of 3.157 homes, which will house 46sS
families. are shown in the complete re-
port. This will cost nearly $26, ,000. 900
The demand for one and two family
dwellings dominates. Fifty-two tene-
ments are proposed.
Plans for garages outnumber all other
kinds of building with a total of 3617.
TIE cost is about $4,000. 900 Only
ten churches will he built in the CITY
of Churches" but there will be twenty
five new theatres. two banks. one hotel,
l22 stores, five schools and two bath
houses. Industrial construction includes
24S factories and storage plants to cost
nearly $4,000 900.
The Lockwood Investigation IS re-
ported as having slowed up building ac-
tivties. the total for December. 1920
being s4,622.S50 as compared with
S9.000.000 for December. 1919

port states, are twenty-one miles of

dure where tenant is inclined to be
reasonable 1t is the belief of our or
ganization that section 944 will also be
declared unconstitutional but whether it
is or not il is hoped that these rent
Jaws will be repealed or constructively
amended.
These rent laws have caused what
seems TO be an overproduction of supply
OF apartments over the demand There
are many vacancies i'm most real estate
Offices and in great many sections Of
the city. This is due to a doubling-up of
occupancy, contrary to the terms OF
leases and, of course. against the public

ess, with its evil results. will continue
as long as the laws remain in force
1t is conceded to be fact that If the
present rent laws had not been in opera
tion "a great building programme woulu
have been instituted. and through the
law of supply and demand a reduction of
rents would have resulted, the same as
it has resulted in buildings not affected

AUCTIONEERS LOOK FOR
ACTIVE MARKET IN 1921
By L. LINCOLN sEIDE
Of the /. Lincoln Seide Companl

OJ tHt 4. JHCOM ctluC company.
Although there has been some de-
preston in the real estate market for
the last month, it is generally conceded
that it Is largely due to the change
of the national and State administra-
tions. The constitutionality of the re-
strictions put upon occupancy and ten
ancy has been decided in the higher
courts with favorable results in the
landlords interest. This also will have
some bearing upon the market during
the next year.
We have observed during the last few
months that the mortgage market is in
far better condition than 1t has been
during the last year. Building and per-
manent loans are being made more
freely. With the reduction in the cost
of building materials which has been
so very evident since the activity of the
Lockwood committee began. we note
with keen interest the gradual return
to the building market of several of the
oldtime reliable builders. This will un-
doubtedly result in an active lot mar
ket during the coming year.
The fundamental conditions of the
real estate market to-day are sound.
For instance. lots have been selling for
no more during the last year than they
brought ten to fifteen years ago. The
price of vacant land must rise.
We look forward to an active year

SEES LITTLE RELIEF
FROM DOUBLING up
Rent Laws Have Absolutely
Stopped All Building, Says
Apartment Broker.
BY VICTOR NJ. EARLE.
Of Earle a Calhoun.

The year 1920 has been a most un-
usua! one as to the renting of apart
ments and dwellings. 1t must be adj
mtted that there was n shortage of
moderate and low priced apartments, but
a shortage such as existed was not suf-
flciently acute TO constitute an emer-
gency. The emergency. if any. arose in
the tenant publics mind in the form of
an unwarranted panic. This panic was
the result of propaganda of certain
newspapers and also certain self-ap-
pointed groups and tenant organizations
and so skifully did they work that their
propaganda fooled not only the tenants
and the public. but also the very men in
the real estate business and the law
makers.
The moderate landlord and the moder-
ate tenant were not drawn into this
panic but "A sufficiently large number of
unscrupuious landlords took full advan-
tage of the situation and raised rents
monthly to unthought of heights These
landlords operated in apartments under
monthly tenancy so that the poor were
the greatest sufferers. and through the
greed and aggression of these landlords
the April and September rent laws re-
suited.
These rent laws accomplished their
two main purposes-they minimized
evictions in October and they taught the
greedy landlords a serious lesson. They
have created. however. unprecedented
litigation and congestion in the courts
and have defeated their very purpose of
enactment. They have not only failed
to create new apartments, but they have
absolutely stopped all building construc
ton.
These laws were laws rushed through
without much thought, and disregarding
the advice of the real estate specialists.
and they were laws based upon a false
premise-emergency. They gave the
profiteering tenant (and there were
many of these) just the opportunity he
wanted to make the road of not only the
aggressive landlord, but the moderate
as well, most difficult one.
They worked the greatest hardship on
those seeking apartments and allowed
the tenants in possession to take far
greater advantage of the situation than
those making the laws intended.
The landlords have won victory II.
the Appellate Division so far as section
947 of the Rent Laws is concerned A
Il enant in possession of an apartment be-
yond the expiration of his lease and
the consent of the landlord can
be removed from the premises now
an ejectment proceeding in the
Supreme Court. The law taking away
this right from the landlord, which is
section 947, was declared null and void
by the Appellate Division.
The real estate organizations OF the
city are advising moderation on the part
of the landlord as to the use of this
ejectment proceeding and are endeavor-
ing not to take advantage of this proce-
