A perplexing problem is the
Towering Of the bamboo. These
giant grasses often allow years to
go by without blossom. Then
comes O season when the bamboo
breaks into flower. and as soon as
the seed is set the whole clump
dies.
The time is coming, declares a
French astronomer, when winter
will disappear entirely and tropical
trees and flowers will flourish in
Europe and North America all the
year round. In 2296, he says, per-
petual summer will reign.

DISTRICT REALTORS
IN SECOND PLACE

Washington ran Philadelphia a
close second in the race for posses
sion of the real estate board achieve
ment trophy. which was presented at
the annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards in Sane Francisco, it was an
nounced today by returning dele
gates.
Philadelphia carried off the loving
cup with first honors. but Washing
ton won first honorable mention in
recognition Of the progress made by
the local real estate board during
the past year. There were thirty
nine local real estate boards, from
every section of the country, entered
in the competition.
In view of the fact that the Wash
ington board, as reorganized a year
ago. was one of the youngest bodies
IN the National Association, it Is con-
sidered that its award of first hon
orable mention was high tribute to
the Washington realtors. The Phila-
delphia board is ten years old and
has ten times the membership of the
local organization.
The first delegates from the Wash
Ington board to arrive in Washing
ton were John A. Petty, executive
secretary; Thomas Z. FARRELL, chair
man of the convention committee: j.
Walter OBoyle, H. H. Carter, Walter
c. Gravatte and Mr. and Mrs. Schaaf
and daughter, of Richmond, guests

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ugast, stopped off
at Chicago for visit. Thomas Brad
ley and Harry L. Rust remained over
in California for a few days to go
on a fishing expedition. while John
l.. Weaver was left behind also to
participate in a realtors golf match
in Del Monte, Calf. Several of the
delegation went to the Yellowstone
Park after the convention.
The annual convention next year
will be in Cleveland, Ohio.

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass. June
10.-Roger w. Babson issued the fol-
lowing statement today regarding the
money situation:
For the past few years banks.
mortgage companies and others en-
gagged in the loaning of money have
been educating people to pay high
rates of interest. Manufacturers.
business men, home builders and
others are today paying high rates of
interest which a few years ago they
believed never would be paid. Natu-
rally this has handicapped employ
ment, especially building operations.
These people now wonder whether
this is to be a permanent condition
or whether these high rates are only
temporary. Statistics lead me to be-
lieve that the high money rate period
Of the past few years has passed for
many years 10 come. Already money
rates have declined greatly in the
wholesale market. Where year ago
the banks were loaning money on
call to the brokerage houses at from
to per cent they are now loaninG
at about 4 per cent. Even three to
six months paper can be sold at from
Az to Az per cent discount. These
are tremendous changes within a
short period of time. In fact, the
change is so great-a decline of about
so per cent-that it would not be sur
prising II money rates now strength
ened for a short while preparatory to
another downward movement.
Money as Commodity.
Money is a commodity the same
as cotton. wool. lumber or copper. 1t
has a wholesale market and retail
market, wholesale price and re-
tail price Moreover. as with COM
modities, the retail price in the money
market lags about six months TO a
wear behind the wholesale price of
the money market. This means that
the rates in the wholesale money
market go up and down from six
months to a year before the average
business man and home builder is
affected. 1t takes nearly a year for
