the paper towel. II does not follow
necessarily that all linen towels
should be scrapped. but by the use
OF auxiliary paper towels a la o

Realtors learned long ago that the
average American housewife is very

house features that appeal to tho
housewife as being old-fashioned,

and especially where new features
are added with which the general
public Is not. familiar.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that the average housewife will be
favorably impressed with tho
kitchen which contains roll Of
paper towels, or a neat paper towel
cabinet. and also the bathroom with
neat cabinet containing paper
towels. She will prompaly realize
the many advantages of such in
stallations from the standpoint of
sanitation and the elimination OF
laundry work. to say nothing OF the
wear and tear on regular household
linen.
The Washington herald., 1922-09-10

The making OF a city lies In the
hands OF realtors. what progress
Washington has made In the last
several years is due TO the activities
Of realtors. This Is the estimate OF
prominent washingtonians.
People look TO the realtor 10 re-
lIeve them OF all work connected
with the building OF a new home
and to supply "A stable and pleasing
home to satisfy their desires.
Realtors have been faithfully
carrying out this trust given them
by the public, but their activities
have not been confined to the sup
plying OF shelter; they have gone
further. developing and building in
their houses the conveniences hich
the home owner wants and which
proves SO great a help in selling the
houses. Despite the great shortage
Of homes. the demand for new
houses Is not one which may be ap-
peased by simply building any sort
OF houses. The buying OF a home
constitutes so great step that the
average buyer looks over the house
very carefully before investing his
money in It. That means that
houses must be made attractive In
order to sell readily.
Features That Are Sales Factors.
Being fundamentally statesmen.
realtors realize this fact and make
provision for IL by building in their
houses such fixtures as will appeal
to the buyer and thereby make the
sale easier to consummate. This
study of sales features has resulted

terials and kinds OF equipment, all
Of which have added to the sales
value OF the house, and many OF
them running into large-sized ex-
penditures.
Because these features have
helped so much realtors have Gag
erly sought the best in all lines of
home equipment. seldom failing to
be the first to use them. However.
recent addition to the line Of
sales features for homes was con-
tributed not by realtors but by a
paper-maker, who in his efforts to
produce a paper towel that would
be better and different from those
already on the market, also planned
q more extensive use Of the towel.

Paris, July 10 Cf3y the A P)-The two representatives of the German gov ernment, pr. Fischer, chairman of the German war debts commission. and Herr Schroeder. under-secretary of finance, during the course of a three hours con ference this afternoon informed M. Du- bois. president of the reparations com mission. that the financial situation of Germany had reached such desperate state that cash payments of the indemn- ity would soon become impossible.
 While the -Germans did not formally request a moratorium, they made 1t plain to M. Dubois. and later to each of the members of the commission, that Germany felt that such relief would be the only way out of her difficulties.
 M Dubois and the others of the com mission asked many questions, but re- served their decision until a later date after the commission has formally re- ceived Germany's request and given it full consideration. The commission Will meet tomorrow afternoon to discuss the ntw crisis.
