HEAT WAVES WRECKINC
HOME LIFE IN INDIANA

INDIANAPOLIS July 21.-Sum.
mer, with its hot weather tempers
and vacations, is wrecking many
homes in Indiana, judging from re-
ports of crowded court dockets ana
busy lawyers offices from all parts
of the State.
Couples who are able to get along
passably in the more comfortable
months find hot weather and an
incompatible mate more than they
can stand, attorneys say.
Vacations which put husband and
wife constantly in each others com.
pany often end in a domestic crash,
they explain. A hot Sunday is a
hard day for the iIl-mated couple

wives and husbands at the Jaw
yers' offices, which follows such a
day, indicates.

CONN. AVE. FAST
YIELDING To
BUSINESS
Changing of Lenox Apartments
Into Office Building New
Evidence of Change.

An indication of the gradual
change in the character Of Connec
ticut avenue in the vicinity of J.
street from a residential district to
one almost entirely devoted to com
mercial enterprises is illustrated by
he conversion of the Lenox Apart
ments, on L street near the new
Walker Hotel, from, an apartment
building to a completely equipped
office structure. A number Of bust
ness. men incorporated under the
title "Lenox Building Owners, Inc"
recently acquired title to this valu-
able property and, as the various
tenants leases expired, made ar
rangements to remodel each floor
as it became available.
1t is said that the last of the
present apartments will have been
vacated by the first Of August and
that the new Lenox office building
will be entirely at the disposal Of
commercial tenants by October. The
owners announce that a few choice
office suites are at present avail
able.
The Lenox Building is an example
of the fine construction which en-
tiers into Washington's building, and
carries what is alleged to be the
lowest insurance rate in the Dis
trict. Lack Of parking restrictions
in the vicinity of the new office
structure is offered as a strong in
ducement to prospective tenants.
The rapid commercial growth of the
neighborhood in question supplies
another powerful argument for the
conversion of the Lenox into a mod
ern office building.

New Subdivision Opened by
Mrs. Minar Is One of
City's Biggest.

To show the extensive area en-
raced in the boundaries of Lee
Ieights, the Arlington county sub
Ivision placed or the market this
month by Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar,
serial photographs are to be taken
~ the Fairchild Aerial Camera Cor
poration, a New York concern.
Lee Heights stretches from the
Chain Bridge road and the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club
grounds a distance of nearly two
miles to the Potomac river. It is
one Of the largest subdivisions
Washington has ever had and is to
be developed along lines in harmony
with its natural beauty and attrac-
tive: surroundings. -
This particular section was picked
by Mrs. Minar because Of it's unique
the land being bounded
on one side by the Lee Highway,
concrete boulevard at this point; on
side by the Country Club
(Chain Bridge) road, also concrete,
and for some distance on a third
side by the beautiful green's of the

national conventions, as did MIR.
Goodenow and Mr.. Hill. David
Barry brought up good point in
mentioning that Washington realtors
were rather chary on using the
word "realtor" in their advertis-
ing copy and on their signs. He
said that in other cities this dis
tinguishing word is played up to
it's fullest extent and advised that
members of the local organization
do likewise.
Compliments Realtors.
The principal SPEAKER of the
evening was Raymond T. Cragin,
Cleveland realtor and vice presi-
dent of the national association.
After paying graceful tribute to
the manner in which the visiting
realtors from all over the country
had conducted themselves while in
his home city. he launched into
an explanation of the methods
adopted by the Cleveland board
to assist realtors of that city in
the transaction of their business.
Vigorous applause greeted his con-
Guiding remark to the effect that
the Cleveland board stood ready at
to influence Ohio legislators in
Washington to enact suitable and
reasonable laws for the District
w. H. Ball, Of Philadelphia, was
the final speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Ball is secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards. His main topic was that
of service to the association; mem
bers, he urged, should expect no
more in the way of service from
their organization than they them
selves are willing to contribute
He also deplored the general ten
dency among realtors to pass the
buck to the shoulders of the local
secretary. The board as an en-
tirety should take action upon
many things it now neglects, he
claimed. With a few final words
from Mr.. Ball upon the importance
of the various realtors associations
procuring copies of all real estate
transactions and adopting a reliable
system of registration, the meeting
drew to close.

WOMEN WASTE
MONEY BUYING
COSMETICS
Prof. Seymour Declares All
Benefit Comes From Mas
saying Face.
BY International News Service.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 21.-
That cosmetics ''are a waste of
money" and that just as beneficial
results are obtained by massaging
the face with pure water as ty
using cold creams. facial creams,
clays and other "beautifiers" are
claims voiced by Prof. Raymond j..
Seymour, assistant professor OF
physiology at Ohio State university.
It is the rubbing and massaeing,
necessary in the use of the "beauti-
fiers," for which American women
annually spend millions of dollars
that stimulate the skin and circula-
ton and result in real benefit
according to Professor Seymour.
1.-The skin absorbs outside agents
only to a negligible extent" he
said. This is demonstrated by the
fact that we handle all sorts of
roisons. yet suffer no ill results

Country Club. Lee Heights, lying
400 feet above Washington, com
mands a view of the entire city. The
land descends in a series of terraces
to the banks of the Potomac, two
miles away.
Mrs. Minar says that modern i'm
provements are being installed
throughout the subdivision and that
restrictions will be imposed which
will insure homes of a high class.
In the land overlooking the Coun-
try Club grounds small villa sites
have been laid out, and the building
restrictions here have been made
higher than in the remainder of
the property in order to have the
type of dwellings wholly in keeping
with the attractive surroundings.

REALT ORSSEE
PROFIT FROM
CONVENTION
Ohio Meeting Did Much to Pro-
mote Friendship Among
Boards in U. S.
By ROBERT LESLIE BELLEM.

By ROBERT LESLIE BELLEM.
The benefits that resulted upon
attendance at the national con-
vention of Real Estate Boards
held recently at Cleveland, Ohio,
proved the main topic of dis
cussion at the meeting of the
Washington Real Estate Board
last Thursday evening at the
Wardman Park Hotel. In a most
interesting and constructive pro-
gram, during the course of which
quite a few local realtors were
called up to enumerate various
phases of their impressions car
ried away from the Cleveland
convention, many plans and
speculations for the development
of the real estate board idea were
deeply discussed.
The program was arranged
through the efforts Of members of
the local organization anxious to
gather and collect the mass of
new ideas which naturally followed
attendance at the national con-
vention. H. G.. Kennedy, of the en-
tertainment committee, directed pro-
ceedings; Secretary Petty presided,
and Realtor Charles s. Shreve
introduced the speakers in the
order Of their appearance.
Local Men Talk.
Preliminary talks were made by
local realtors Herbert, O'Boyle,
O'Neill, Latimer. Goodenow, Hill,
Barry, Lewis and ex-President John
L. Weaver. The consensus of :heSe
preliminary speeches was that the
Cleveland convention had done more
to promote cordial good fellowship
between the various boards than
any other single thing in the his
tory of the national association.
MIR. Herbert devoted his remarks
to the advancement of real estate
ethics promulgated by such national
conventions as the one under dis
cussion, and spoke of the effect
such gatherings had upon the seri-
BUSINESS with which the public
takes the different local boards.
Mr.. O'Boyle told how he had been
particularly impressed by the new
division of the national organization
the Home Builders and Subd:vid-
ers' branch-and its service of ex-
changing advertising ideas, with it's
subsequent improvement Of realtors
advertising copy.
Both Mr.. O'Neill and Mr.. Latimer
confined their remarks to their
advocation of attendance upon the

Wholesale Price Drop
in Most Countries,
Says Report

The wholesale price move
ment is generally toward lower
levels in the United States and
most foreign countries, the
Federal Reserve Board said to-
day.
Review of world wholesale
trade for May showed a drop
of five points in France. In the
United States and England the
decline was two points. A de-
crease of one point in Canada
was noted. In Japan prices
have continued to advance.
AS in the preceding month
prices of those commodities
which enter into foreign trade
showed more marked decreases
than domestic goods.
