A Tongue-Tied Baby

.y "One would not think that a baby could be tongue-tied without the mother Knowing the condition and yet such was the case discovered by a Visiting Nurse on her rounds in Bridgeport last February.
 "The mother complained that the infant was not nur- sing and was crying about all the time. The baby was ob- viously underweight and the Visiting Nurse made the usual thorough examination to locate the trouble. In this way the trouble with the tongue was discovered.
 "A doctor operated on the tongue and the baby's troubles disappeared. He gained more in the week after the operation than he had gained in the whole month previous"
 One more reason why my gift to the Community Chest should be greater than last year.

Extensive improvements will be
made in the recent acquisition during

U.S.ASKS REALTORS
T0S|MPL|FY FORMS
Facilitation of Business Seen
in Standard Contracts
and Documents.

Realtors of the United States have
been called on by the Department of
Commerce. to assist in working out a
plan for the simplification and stand
ardization Of various legal instru
ments and contracts used in realty
transactions. officials of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards an
nounCcd today.
In recent communication w. A.
Durgin chief of the division OF simpli-
fed practice. of the Department of
Commerce. points out that there is a
great amount of waste in business
and industry caused by the great and
needless variety of forms and docu-
ments used He offers the assistance
of the Department of Commerce in
collecting and analyzing various
forms now in use. and in developing
a series of recommendations for
standardized and simplified forms.
The department also suggests the ap-
pointment of member of the ma
tional association as Secretary Her
bert Hoover's personal representative
to undertake this work in an inten-
sive manner. After the collection of
data has been completed and recon-
mendationS have heen formulated it
is proposed that such recommenda-
tions be submitted to the National
Association of Real Estate Boards for
approval and adoption.
Need sImplifed Practice.
The officers of the national associa-
tion recognize the need of simplified
and are preparing in every possible
way to cooperate with the federal
government in this respect. State as
sociations are also actively at work in
this field and are developing standard
forms Of listing contracts. earnest
money contracts. mortgages and
deeds. The California Real Estate
Association has recently devised
standard forms which are now being
used throughout the state. Due to
the diversity in statutory require
mentS in the various states. the diff
culties in developing standard forms
for national use are of greater magni-
tude than those which will be met in
any single state. 1t is believed to be
quite possible. however. to develop
model or standard forms. which. with
minor adaptations. can be fitted to the
needs of any locality.
The coming committee of the Depart
ment of Commerce appointed by Sec
retary Hoover. on which the National
Association of Real Estate Boards Is
represented by Irving B. Hiett Of
Toledo. has asked for the assistance
of realtors in obtaining uniformly ac-
ceptable definitions Of terms used in
connection with buildings. Words
such as flats" apartments" semi
detached houses" terraces" two
family apartments" etc are found to
mean different things in various
localities. 1t is obvious that this is
often source of confusion, and in
view of the recent movement under
taken to develop standard zonine
laws and standard building codes it
is especially desirable that the same
words shall mean the same things
everywhere

Dramatic interest comes from the
appearance of a stranger among a
crowd where everyone knows every
one else. The stranger is an old
man, blind, with his violin. His
music adds to the happiness of the
day and eventually he is taken to
the home of Benton to play for him.
He is invited to remain by the rich
man living alone in a big house and
the part played by the old man is
strange and significant. He repevs
over and over again the kindness
shown him and proves his gratitude
under intensely surprising condi-
tions.
