INTEREST IN APPRAISAL.
Efforts MAIDS to Put Subject on
Scientific Basis.

Rapid growth in interest nationally
in expert appraisal methods helping
to put the handling of real estate on
a scientific basis is indicated in re-
ports coming to the National Associa-
tion of Real Estate Boards from
member boards studying the subject.
Recent building up of a notable body
of literature on the subject is an
other measure of the Importance
which formal expert appraisal is COM
Ing to have in all forms of dealing in
real estate. While only about one
fourth of the boards having menu
bership in the national associa tion
have regular appraisal committees
reports from boards who have ap-
pointed such committees primarily as
study groups show that wherever
committees are formed business
comes in.
Best methods of organizing regu-
lar appraisal work as they have been
tested in the development of ap-
praisals in boards throughout the
country are available to all member
groups of the national association on
application to association headquar-
terS.

Pres. Bowdoin College
Comments on Editorial
on Scholarship Aid

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Brunswick, Me-, Nov. 1S-Coni-
menting on recent editorial in one
Of the Portland papers which spoke
of the need of doctors in Maine and
the desirability of establishing
scholarships to aid medical students,
President Stills Of Bowdoin college
said today:
L wish it were more widely known
throughout the state that Bowdoin
has available for medical scholar
ships a sum amounting to about
$1,000 annually from the income of
the Garcelon- Merritt fund. Last
year this amount was distributed
among GO medical students from this
state, studying in medical schools
all over the country. Preference is
given to Bowdoin graduates, but the
college can confer one of these
scholarships on any Maine man.
Graduates of the other Maine col
leges received some of these medical
scholarships last year. By far the
larger part of the amount is award
ed to students pursuing their studies
in medical schools, and the remain
der may be used for students who
are taking a pre-medical course in
college.
There is no denying the great need
or doctors in many parts of the
state. 1t is hoped that the Garcelon-
Merritt fund scholarships will help
the situation somewhat by assisting
Maine boys to study medicine who
could not otherwise undertake an ex-
pensive medical course"

Treasury Plans
Complete for
Dry Enforcement

WASHINGTON, Nov. lI.7lne treas
ury has completed plans for haltlns
rum runners under which it will re-
quest Congress for appropriations
aggregating about $2S,5OO.0OO with
which to double the strength or the
coast guard and establish a chaln
of boats along the eastern shore
line to check smuggling.
With the backing of President
Coolidge. treasury officials will de-
clare to Congress that they can eff
fectively stop the operations OF rum
runners if granted the money re-
ouired. The President. it was said
today, probably will urge favorable
action on the proposals in his first
message to Congress.
The program proposes the pur-
chase of 20 cruising cutters at a
cost of $10S50,0O0: 200 cruising mo-
tor boats at about $S.000.OOO: 100
small motor speedboats at about 81
DOC, 900, and the addition of IA COM
missioned officers. 800 warrant Off
GERS, and 3071 enlisted men to the
force. If the plans are granted con-
gresSional sanction. the guard Will
number SOL commissioned, officers,
716 warrant officers and Il22 enlist
ed men.
An official report dealing with the
proposals refers to the heavy bur-
dens imposed on the coast guards
by its duties in combating rum
smuggling and asserts that these
burdens are steadily increasing.
But the coast guard can stop al
most entirely the importation of in
toxicating liquors into the United
@an, - Ill
the appropriations to obtain and
maintain ships and boats and to in
crease it's force as proposed, the re-
port says.
1T probably will be impossible to
prevent absolutely the importation
of all liquor and there always will
be cases where small quantities are
Struggled ashore, but such cases will
be sporadic and exceptional and the
quantities involved trivial
The whole question of expanding
the coast guard has been considered
at cabinet meetings and in private
conferences between Secretary Mel
Ion and President Coolidge. En-
forcement officers long have declar-
ed the chief source COT the Illicit
liquor supply was in smuggling OPP
crations. 1t has been the hardest
problem with which they have had
to deal, Mr.. Mellon has said.
The secretary has mentioned on
severa! occasions the great profits
gained by the smugglers through the
high prices they were able to OBJ
tain for their stocks. and in the last
two years, as the lines have been
frightened about bonded warehouses.
in his belief. the profits have been
most attractive,

prise by securing the 42nd Annual
Convention of the State Young Mems
Christian Association Of Maine,

ference will deal with the following
topics: First. Outstanding School
Problems and the Relation of the AS
ISOLATION to them Every loyal school
and college man realizes that the
success of his institution Is depend
cnt upon the eradication of certain
existing evils but how to get at the
causes of these evils and how to set
UP new programs, are questions that
are not easily solved by any single
Individual or institution. Leaders
OF national experience and training
have been secured to lead these dis
cussions. Second, Technical Train
ing for Christian Service. This will
be arranged to answer the questions
and help the fellows who are anxious
to enter upon some form of Christian
service as a life work. Third, Per-
sonal Life Talks. The main enter
prise Nof the world being the up
building of man." no conference
would be complete that did not give
special attention to the individual
needs of the delegates, and therefore
care has been taken to secure some
of the ablest inspirational speakers in
the country for the different sessions.
Individual and school responsibility
in times Of peace will be emphasized.
Among the speakers already Sc
cured are Mr.. King Birge. one Of the
heroes of the Smyrna disaster. 1t
was Birge and Jennins who secured
the cooperation of the United States
Navies to deport refugees and they
are the men who engineered the
great relief movement in the Young
Mems Christian Association in that
area. Mr.. Birge is now the new COL
Iege Y. NJ. c. A. secretary for New
England. Associated with him is an
other one of the speakers of the con-
yention, Mr.. Currie. Mr.. Currie is
a Princeton graduate and just back
from the great University of Cairo,
Egypt Mr.. Currie is the new secre-
tary for preparatory schools and
high schools of New England. An
other speaker will be Mr.. Francis
Miller, international student secre-
'tary. Mr. Miller Is one OF the most
popular speakers to- college men IN
the country and is just back from
tour of oxford and European
universities. The committee has also
secured Mr. Charles r. Hurley. gem
eraI secretary of our World 8
Friendly Relations committee. Mr.
Hurrey's travels have taken him
around the world many times and he
is ranked as one of the greater
authorities on the student problems
of the work.

William Fox's' production Of IF
Winter Comes" has one cardinal vir-
tue. 1t Is, to our knowledge, the first
motion picture ever produced that
abides religiously by the authors in
tention. 1t is an actual photograph
of the novels characters and incl
dents. Accordingly the audiences
who, having read the book. assemble
to see the picture, will not be disap-
pointed. The production is leagues
ahead Of the ninety and nine films
that unreel their varying fictions for
the motion picture public.
So widespread has been the circu-
lation of the novel that it seems I'M
necessary to detail the complicated
twists of fate that followed Mark
Sabre through and just beyond the
period of the war. Not only are they
all included in the film, but even the
language of the author is retained in
almost every subtitle. These latter
\
the rank and file of subtitle COM
posers.
The cast, with minor exceptions, is
one of the most evenly capable that
has presented a picture on Broadway
in some time. Particularly did Percy
Marmont, as Mark Sabre, give evil
dence of a difficult task well done.
The Lady Tybar of Ann Forrest and
the High and Low links of Dorothy
Allen and Eleanor Daniels were other
parts particularly well taken.
Yet best of all seemed the unfailing
taste throughout the play. The back
grounds, the interiors. the details and
the properties were all little better
than motion picture audiences are
accustomed to witness even in the
most carefully directed pictures.
These things, and indeed the entire
play, had the invaluable attributes of
sincerity and truth.-Adv.
