The cost to the public visiting Wash :

than that. The Washington profiteers
had prepared to make up for recent hard
times through the opportunities of in
auguration week.

1t was this phase Of the situation, as
much as the public cost. that moved
Mr.. Harding to act. Hotels in Wash
ington were charging $3.50 to $500 for
the rooms looking out upon the avenue
where the Inauguration parade was to
pass. Nominally this charge was for
inauguration week, but rooms would not
be let for less than q week, and per
son staying two or three days would
have been charged the full $3.50 or 5000.
The inauguration plans got out Of

whetted, an undue amount of publicity
was given to the dazzling and unparal-
lclcd volume which was to be done.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggist,
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been -ery successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

JUST MATER OF DEDUCTION
AS the Boy Explained 1t, the Finding
of Horse Was Really Quite
Simple Matter. "A

Speaking of the development of the
Storytelling talent in youth, Richard
Bennett. the actor, is fond of relating
this incident:
Some years ago a prominent citizen
of town lost a horse. 1t was not
much of a horse. In fact, it was blind
in one eye and spawned. But, per-
haps as a relic, Bennett says, the
prominent citizen wanted the horse.
So he advertised. offering 50 reward
for its return. The town half-wit, a
boy of nineteen, with a harelip, came
one afternoon leading the horse, with
a strap about the size of a shoestring,
TO the prominent citizens door. The
horses owner was pleased.

During the night. while Diamond was

the room and shouted to the officers :
Arrest me. arrest me! Something ter:
ribla has happened.
Clark said that naval board of
inquiry found that Gill murdered Dia J.

LACK OF MONEY HALTS
MILLION HOMES IN U. S.
Realty Board Chief Cites Reason for
House Shortage In Address Here


Lack of money for legitimate building
enterprises has caused shortage of
more than one million homes in the
United States.
This was one of the causes for house
shortage cited by Fred +. Taylor.
president of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards in a luncheon
address before the Philadelphia Real
Estate Board at the Bellevue -Stratford
today.
Mr.. Taylor. who is from Portland,
Ore, and Tom s. Ingersoll, of Chicago.
were guests of the local organization.
More than five hundred realtors of this
city and nearby towns were present.
William II. Wilson, president of the
local board, presided.
Necessity of conducting the real
estate business on the highest plane
was pointed out by Mr.. Taylor. No one
should be allowed to masquerade under
the title of realtor, he said, unless he is
willing at all times to observe both in
letter and in spirit the code of ethics
laid down by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards.
The speaker urged establishment of
comprehensive real estate educational
courses in universities. colleges and
schools.
Mr.. Taylor also discussed federal
taxation. He asserted the income and
excess profit taxes not only placed n
very heavy burden on the people but
also retarded u return to the normal
business of the life of the nation.

VAUGHAN IS SPEAKER
Delivers Address at Luncheon Of
Speech. READING Club

Samuel NJ. Nauclain was the speaker
at luncheon today at the Speech
Reading Club, 1906 Locust street,
where reports were given by the leaders
of the eight groups that are working to
establish permanent headquarters for
the club.
More than 500 ZOO has been raised.
The workers are cndeavoring to obtain
10000. the sum necessary TO purchase
the present building in which the club
is cond ucted. Among them are thirty
ex service men who lost their hearing
as a result of their war experiences.
The former soldiers appealed to the
members of the American Legion for
assistance in the campaign to preserve
their club. Failure to obtain the neces-
sary funds means the loss of n center
where those who are deafcned have been
supplied with the social and educational
contacts from which their calamity
ordinarily would bar them.
