and temperature, chiefly.
Although the soil acidity, alkalinity,
composition of the soil and its degree
OF moisture, as well as that of the at.
mosphere, have some bearing, the
amount of rainfall and the tempera-
ture are considered the determining
factors.
The short or the cold summers
frosts during the growing season, or
excessive extremes. have much to do
with the envoirment suitable to trees.

EXPLAINS REALTY
TITLES TO CLASS
Says knowledge of Deeds
Is Vital to Property
Purchaser.

The technical phase Of real
estate titles was discussed before the
real estate class of the Y. NJ. c. A.
this week by Mr.. James J. Becker.
president of the Real Estate and
Columbia Title Insurance Company.
The transfer and acquisition Of title
to land, Mr.. Becker said, Is governed
by the law of the place where the
land Is situated. In the District of
Columbia no estate OF inheritance,
for life, or for longer term than
one year in any real property. can
be created except by deed signed and
sealed by the grantor or by will.
Under no circumstances can a deed
transferring title to real estate be
executed or acknowledged by an at
torney. In order 10 be valid it must
be signed and sealed by the owner.
In this respect the law is different in
the District than in many States.
II was pointed out that a deed must
be made to some certain person or
corporation named who can take by
force OF the deed and hold title in
his own or its own right, or as
trustee Obviously an executed deed
without the grantees name is void:
SO also a deed to a fictitious person
or corporation Which has no existence
is void. In Instances where the pur-
chaser is a partnership the deed must
run to the individual partners and
should state that the individuals
named are copartners trading under
a given name.
The actual acknowledgment of
deeds is OF vital Importance to pur-
chasers for the reason that unless
this acknowledgment and all of the
legal requirements in connection
Herewith are complied with. the deed.
even though It be actually recorded.
will not be noticed to subsequent
purchasers and realtors OF the
grantor end in consequence might
deprive the purchaser OF his estate.
Each State prescribes by statute the
forms to be observed in taking and
certifying the acknowledgment OF
deeds situated within its limits and
designates/ an officer who is COM
petent to take such acknowled gments
For this reason il is vitality important
that when deeds are sent out OF a
jurisdiction for execution that great
care be exercised I'm complying exact
ly with the laws of the Jurisdiction
in which the land is located in order
to insure valid deed.

ers are interested in seeking to

asked that has puzzled property
owners and realtors for a long time
ana still remains unanswered, be-
cause IL we were certain that real
estate is to 60 down in any ma

wise ones would sell now. On the

tainty that II would increase rapid

The old law OF supply and de-
mand obtains with respect to the
cost OF buying or building a hons

applies to articles of food, farm
products, and other things that
have a market value. When there
are a great number of vacant
houses in a city rentals decrease
and the price of homes. and cost
of building. decreases in proportion
when there are no vacant houses
in the city, except old and dilapi-
dated houses which are UNIT to live
in, rentals advance. building of new

executives having decided their condi-
tional acceptance to President Hard
ing and departed and with the govern
ment outwardly marking time without
having indicated whether it would at
tempt any further compromise, de-
velopments today in the rail strike
parley lay in the hands of the union
organizations who still had before
them the proposal Of the president
that the railroad labor board be per
mitted to settle the question Of senior
ity, the principal remaining bone Of
contention in dispute
In many quarters it is believed the
real key to the situation is held by
the four brotherhoods and that the
attitude of their officials and the ex-
tent of the support from that quarter
would determine in large measure the
action of the striking crafts.

LOOKS LIKE CONSPIRACY

San Francisco, Aug. 14.-Northern
and Southern California today without
fast freight transportation to the
east, seemed in fair way to lose the
one remaining route for passenger
traffic, as a result of spread of trans
portation brotherhood walkouts to
Roseville and Sacramento. The prin-
cipal line north was lost to fast freight
traffic.
At Los Angeles preliminary steps
were taken yesterday to make an in
vestigation into the origin of walkouts
on the Santa Fe and determine wheth-
er they were the result of conspiracy.
Attorney General Daugherty, order
ing an inquiry. instructed that the evil
dence discovered be taken before a
grand jury if there should be sufficient
to warrant that step.
It is estimated that the California
fruit growers are suffering a loss of
approximately million dollars day
owing to lack of transportation.
