SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Self confidence is the explanation

virtue that should be carefully cul-
tivated in the competition OF lille.
There was something imposing in

leon, who declared if there were
none to make cannon and gun
powder, he would make them. 1t

finances, you know. This is col
lossal egotism, ii is true, but is was
the motive power that made Napo-
leon one of the most magnificent
military successes in history 1t is
better to possess the quality Of self
confidence in excess than not to
possess it at all.
Self confidence is the off spring
of self respect. To think memingly
of ones self is to sink, Feel your
self and be not daunted by things.
Those are the precepts which in

CRANDALL BUYS
SITE LEASED BY
APOLLO THEATER
Pays $65,OOO for 15O-Foot
Frontage on H Street
Northeast.

One Of the most important real es-
tate transactions of the month was
consummated this week when Harry
M. Crandail, owner of the Crandali
Theaters in Washington and vicin-
ity. purchased the ground now oc-
cupied by Crandali's Apollo rheater.
s2tls34 II street northeast, at q cost
of ssB. B.ooo..
The parcel has a frontage of $50
feet on H strest and depth of 225
feet and 10 occupied by the Apollo
open air picture garden in addition
to the theater proper. The ground
and improvements represent Q total
value of approximately 5000 900. By
the purchase of the ground the en-
tirs property passes into the own
ership of Mr.. Crandall.
The Apollo Theater was origin
ally owned and operated by the
Apollo Amusement Company, who
occupied the ground on a leass.
About two years ago Mr.. Crandall
purchased all the stock of the
Apollo Amusement Company and
continued the ground lease In op.r-
alton. The recent remodeling Of the
Apollo and installation Of . balcony

seating capacity. emphasized the
need OF owning the ground.

: Tie progress that has been made
: IN building and other operations af-

our Southern States has been truly
remarkable during the past decade.
and very noticeably so within the
past six months. That this has taken

section and speaks as no amount of
arguing could of the substantial
foundation upon which Southern
prosperity rests.
Not only Is greater wealth being
produced below the Mason-Dixon
lien as the direct result Of native
exploitation of the resources Of
Southern mines. mills. farms, etc,
but, an increasing volume of outside
capital Is steadily being attracted.
A generation ago the South was
recovering from the most disastrous
catastrophe in its history. Its peo-
PIE were dIsneartened; it's Industrial
system was in the throes OF regen-
GRAFTON; II was virtually pennil sss.
Yet, with true Southern valor, new
courage and new enterprise was
born out of the ashes of a blast

of soil and mountain. of forest and

7A9LES S. SHREVE
Y PRESIDENT
Getting Finds Members
100 Per Cent Strong.

The annual meeting Of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board. which
was held Monday night. according
to Charles :. Shreva. it's newly
elected president, was the most en-
thusiastIC meeting ever held by the
board. An unusually large number
of members attended and keen COM
petition was evident in the election
for the various offices and appraisal
committee. Shreve predicted an
active and progressive year and ap-
psaled to the Individual members
TO support the officers and special
committees that had the RESPONSE
bility of carrying on the boards
work.
Prominent among the recommen-
dations of John \. Petty. executive
secretary. for the coming year was
the suggestion that an educational
forum be created for the partic-
ular benefit Of the salesmen mer-
bers. The plan as outlined would
consist of regular stated meetings.
81
discuss practical problems that con-
front the salesman In his every
day work These discussions would
be presided over by the Junior mem
bers. who would also actively par
ticipate in the work. This proposed
movement is in line with the con-
structtve policy the board has pur-
sued during the past year In devel-
waiting the practice Of real estate to
a high professional plane. Coinci-
dent with this work Petty impressed
on the members the Importance of
using the title realtor in their work,
as this specially coined word, which
Is reserved exclusively for use by
members Of the board. Is a mark of
Identification and Is also very
practical help in the general con-
structive policy Of the board promor-
ing fair and honest dealing.
William L. Beale, chairman Of the
appraisal committee. in submitting
the report of his committee for the
past year called attention to the
steady growth OF this work. During
the past year the appraisal OF real
estate aggregated a total of over
S5.6OO,000. which was almost double
the amount of the preceding year.
These properties varied from the
small investment type. valued at a
very few thousand dollars. up to
some Of the largest improved prop
- critics In the city one in particu-
lar amounting TO $4,000. 900. In this
particular work the local board

throughout the country ana ~ is
expected that the total for this year
wilf- result in the boards attaining
q higher rank than heretofore.

Detroit in the same block with Mrs.

guilt. The two checks his father got
from Mrs. Page put the idea into his

OF taking all her money but 1t proved
so easy he didn't see the necessity OF
stopping.
Farr, who is 81 years old. Is mar

He is a laborer but says he has done
