TITLE Of 'REA[TOR'
Court Action Sought to Pre-

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 20.-For the
first time in its history. according to c.
Philip Pitt. secretary, the real estate
board of this city has been forced to
seek court action to prevent mon
member" real estate operator from US
ing the term 'Realtor."
Mr.. Pitt stated counsel for the
board has been authorized to take i'm
mediate steps to secure an injunc-
tion against a real estate operator
here to prevent him from using the
trademark or term "Realtor" on any
of his advertising matter.
The term "Reaitor' was coined and
copyrighted by the National Associa-
tion of Real Estate Boards with a
view TO provide a ready means Of
public identification of board mem
berS.
The right to restrain non-members
from trading as realtors" was de-
cided in suit brought by the ma
tional association before the supreme
court of Minnesota, which leaves no
doubt in the minds of the officers OF
the local board that similar action
will be sustained by the local courts.

COLOR EFFECTS DIFFER

We all know that color has a def

different effects
In the city. green is more of re-
lief than it is in the country. Red. on
a blustery night is cozy and sociable.
but in the summer it is hot and op-
pressive. Red is called an advancing
color" because in the daytime 1t
makes a room seem small. Blue, on
the other hand, is a "receding" color
and apparently increases the size of
room. Yellow is sunshiny and
cheerful, and its use in all of its
various tones is growing.
Light walls usually help to make
one forget that he is indoors. but
light colors in combination with dark
ones often make the walls of a room
more interesting and give it charac-
ter. Warm colors decrease and cool
ones enlarge the apparent size ofs
room. These are invariable physical
laws.

Lone Witness.

Popularity With Countrymen May
Hamper Efforts of Police
to Locate Him.

Bascillio Farcomini. an Italian
twenty-seven years old, 8 Wonder
court southwest, was shot and al
most instantly killed last night while
in the yard in rear of his home. Frank
Compolia, also an Italian, forty-five
years old, who resided in the house, is
being sought by the police as the al
legged slayer, single witness to the
shooting having named him as the
one who fired the shot.
Compolia was Il pushcart merchant,
the police say, having earned a live
lihood by selling fruits and ice cream
while Farcomini was a laborer. Com
polia was popular in the local Italia II
colony, the police learned. and it is
believed his friends will keep him
under cover and shield him to the
best of their ability.
Said to Have Been Drinking.
Police learned that Fracomini re-
turned home yesterday afternoon
showing signs of having been drink
ing and his friend refused to admit
him. About $50 o'clock he again ap-
peared at the back door, having
climbed the fence, according to in
formation obtained by the police.
Again Compolia refused to admit
him, the police were told. whereupon
he threatened TO break down the door
and enter. What else passed between
Them the police said they were unable
TO learn, but Compolia is alleged to
have fred the one shot, Farcomini

Compolia went to- the government
heating plant on L street southeast
and conversed with friends. He re

stated and police were unable TO
race his movements after he left the
heating plant.
Farcomini, the police say. was in
volved in a shooting affray at 1st and

ago. when Joe Criniti is alleged to
have been killed by a relative of

in the hand at that time. Detectives

the shooting with police of the fourth
