DISTRICT REALTOR

Real Estate Board Secretary
Petty to Be Active at
Convention.

Executive Secretary John A. Petty
Of, the Washington Real Estate Board
will have an opportunity to compare
the development Of the local organi-
zation with that Of other leading
boards throughout the country when
he attends the meeting Of the Ma
tional Realtor secretaries' Associa-
tion. May 81 to June 8, In conjunc-
tion with the annual convention of
The National Association Of ReahEs-
tate Boards in San Francisco.
Mr.. Petty states that this organi-
zation is composed of the secretaries
Of the local boards throughout the
country and its value was recognized
by the parent organization when 1t
mstona mass piss s sa sne
tion held in Chicago in 1921. Or
ganized several years ago. 1t has
gradually grown in size and now
has among its members the secre-
taries of local boards In practically
all of the principal cities of the
In addition to the election Of Of
ficers. and disposing of routine or
ganization matters. q series Of con-
ferences outlined In advance are
planned At these conferences the
members discuss tho problems pre-
sented In the development work of
real estate boards.
Various Conferences Planned.
The program for the coming con-
publicity. ethics. board financing,
entertainment and q special system
Of cooperative listing Of properties
known as the multiple listing sys--
tenn. Much Of the effectiveness of
the work Of the National Associa-
Of member boards throughout the
country, for they act as Q medium
between the national association
and the individual members of local
boards. The responsibility Of put
policies Of the national association
rests on the secretaries Of each
board. 1t is pointed out.
According to Mr.. Petty, one Of the
most important advantages Of the
secretaries' organization is the fact
acquaintance and cooperation be-
tween secretaries located In differ
ent parts Of the country. In tho daily
work Of the real estate board In
stances occur where, In order to
render assistance and advice to the
PUBIC concerning real cSt1t0 udt~
ters in other localities, the co-opera-
tion Of other boards situated near
the property In question 10 needed.
For this reason Mr.. Petty stated that
he was going to urge strongly that
the organization at its convention
adopt a means to bring into the
organization the secretaries Of all
boards and particularly of the small
er communities In isolated locations.
Another important object Mr.. Petty
is going to present to the convention
for confederation is the adoption Of
some means Of intercommunication
from a central point whereby secre-
taries In all sections may have the
benefit Of the development Of new
ideas in real estate board work and
also where answers may be obtained
to specific problems that have been
met and solved In other cities.

EDUCATORS LAY OUT NEW JOB
FOR WILL HAYS

That American motion pictures
misrepresent this country abroad,
diminish opportunity for trade, re-
strict the entente cordial, which
should exist between the United
States and many Eastern lands, and
interfere with the work of mission
aries, is the indictment brought
against the movies by many and
most recently the woman's board
for foreign missions of the Presby-
terrain church.
1t is explained that in such places
as Tokyo, Japan; Bombay and Cal
cutta, India; and Jerusalem. Holy
Land, the popular pictures are the
poorer class of American western
films, showing drinking, cut-throat
and rough-riding cowboys, dance
halls, vice and crime. Exhibition of
such films brings large audiences
and much profit, but convinces the
bulk of the natives who see the
pictures that America is a land of
vice and lawlessness. In the ORR
ent, eternal triangle" pictures are
the most popular, with the result
that the American woman, in the
minds of many natives, is bold and
painted female who sells herself for
a smile or a piece of gold, smokes,
drinks, curses, and carouses, while
every other man is a woman hunter
and a renegade.
No greater piece of work, it is
pointed out. confronts Mr.. Hays, as
head of the vast motion picture in
dustry, than making it impossible
for prOfiteering and calculating ex-
hibftors to wrong by libel their ma
tive land, by exporting to ignorant
audiences such films as will be
taught to look on this country with
respect and admiration, the idea
that it is uncivilized, depraved and
vicious.

WAR ON WOOD WASTE
Government in Movement to Re.
duce the Timber Loss.
through Cooperation With Forest
PRODUCTS Laboratory Methods Are
seing Devised to curtaiI Enor.
nous Waste Of Wood.

Washington.-"Only 80 per cent of
the wood In forest now gets into the
form of seasoned, unplaned lumber.
VI this an additional ~ to Is per cent
Is lost In the process of manufacture.
In extreme cases as little as three per
cent OF the wood in the forest may
reach the finished product"
This statement Is made in a booklet
Just issued by the Department of Ag-
rlculture, entitled Forest Products
Laboratory, describing the work and
aims Of the experimental laboratory
maintained by the forest service, in
cooperation with the University Of
wisconsin, at Madison, Wis.
The booklet outlines how, through
investigation and experiment, the
laboratory is devising and broadcast
ing practical commercial methods by
which this enormous waste of the
country's timber supply can be re-
duced. By reducing this waste, it is
pointed out, the life of our present for
ests will be prolonged and the prob
lem Of growing new forests made
simpler, because by preventing the
waste of timber less timber will have
to be grown.
Among the various methods studied
at the laboratory for decreasing waste
OF forest products is the treatment Of
woods with preservatives resisting de-
cay. Through such treatment an an
nual saving of one and one-half billion
board feet is estimated to be possible
in the case of railroad ties alone, and
the preservation of other classes of
timber would in the aggregate, greatly
relieve the drain on our forests.
The forest products laboratory is a
government institution; it's advice and
suggestions are to be had for the ask
ing. 1t presents, according to the
booklet, an opportunity for many man
ufacturers, wood users, and timber
growers to supplement the information
obtained by experience and hard
knocks with technical data obtained
through scientific research.
