striven, for number of years, for professional
recognition. Their ambition seems near atta0ment.
BY taking determined stand for honorable dealing
In such a situation as now confronts District of
Columbia tenants the dealers here focus attention
on the great, chasm between them and soe-string
peddlers or house-tohouse book agents. They serve
the public. The others serve only themselves.
The Ball rent act may may not be desr-
able bit of legislation. There are many compli-
Gated problems involved. 1t is difficult for the lay
man to pass upon them. Only the real estate ex-
pert whose mind is so constituted that he view
the entire subject from the point of view Of the
greatest good for the greatest number is competent
to judge this law. That this expert must be abso-
lutely honest goes without saying
The law never protect adequately the
average citizen in realty dealing. Tactics may be
entirely legal and yet take advantage of almost
universal ignorance of the delicate points in
volved. Only the highest standards of professional
ethics the purpose.
Washington dealers have opportunity to
establish precedent for their fellows throughout
the United States. They take a great step
toward the goal which the profession has sought
for long time. That they eager to make the
most of this opportunity is shown by the action
of the real estate board in the present instance.
1t would be shameful indeed if some dealer with no
conception of the laws of honor should nullify the
good work of the many high-mnded men.

Believing that no impartial mind

In approaching this subject we

Another Dog" Speaks.
To the Editor. The waSinrtou Herald:

To the Editor, The waSington Herald:
1t is very interesting to read the
various arguments in Open Court.
but sometimes they go a little too
far. as in the case of Fort Myer
and Mr.. Degman, not to forget the
man who could have knocked the
head of the army colonel for
speaking to him about not park
Ing his car on forbidden places.
Fort Myer. who in reality is a
regular army sergeant. has in my
opinion the perfect right to his
opinion about the majority of the
world war army. and / think that
II the American public knew how
their honored sons behaved while
In foreign land they would not
speak so loud. The emergency
soldier cannot and never will be
able to compete with the real SOL
diers Of the United States, who
spend years after years in con-
slant training, who are hardened
and seasoned by both cold and trop-
ical climates. 1t is no wonder that
some of the regular army enlisted
personnel lost their goats when
confronted with personnel like
those. ! will differ from Fort Myer
in regard to National Guard di-
visions. as / have found. both on
GERS and men the most agreeable
bunch of fellows l have ever met
You cannot find the same among
the regulars as they are profess
sional soldiers. Among the Ma
tional Guard units whom ran
across overseas / made many
friends, and their fighting spirit
cannot be taken away from them
by any other troops of the army.
The members OF the Fifth and
Sixth Marine regiments of the Sec
ond Division and the members of
the First Division have been 50
filled up with hot air that they won
the war that they now believe it,
but remember you leather necks
and First Division men. that among
the National Guard divisions there
are some divisions that will out
shine any one of the before men,
toned troops. / have met soldiers
from the Twenty-sIxth and Twenty
seventh divisions and they are real
soldiers. who are not afraid of the
devil himself. l have soldiered
with National Guard units along
the Msxicapr border and I have al
ways found Shem excellent soldiers
Mr.. Degman thinks that a man
who is afraid of competing with
civilians on the outside attaches
himself to the regular army and
becomes a prisoner. Allow me to
state to Mr.. Degman that IL he is
OF that opinion he should keep IL
to himself and not let it out. for
the public sure will get a nice
opinion of him. At the present
time and in the past the regular
service man of the United States
has been called a dog and compared
with a dog by a large majority
OF our so-called respected citizens,
but remember, they always call on
the dogs when they need some help
as in floods, strikes ant catas-
trophies as the Knickerbocker. VINO
are the men that worked there? The
police and firemen started an argu-
ment about superiority. but after
the regulars got there they did no,
argue, they simply took charge.
Who trained our world war army?
The old noncommissioned personnel
from the regular army and ma
tional Guard. When there in a dirty
job, nasty job. filthy job. or a
job that can't be done. they sure
send for thesregular dogs and the
job Is done.
