FINANCING OF BIG DEALS
TOPIC AT REALTORS MEET
Full Discussion of Prospective De-
velopment Will Be Part of Pro-
gram at Cleveland Convention.

Embarrassment on the part of
individual members or having funds
entirely tied up in the financing of
budding subdivision or in putting
through some big coup in industrial
tracts will not stand In the way of
full discussions of the big matters to
come before the National Association
of Real Estate Boards, when II meets
in Cleveland this June. The whole
question of travelling expenses. con-
feSsed deterrent to. q, 100 per cent at
tendance at conventions since nation
al-convening began. has been solved
through the hospitable munificence of
the Cleveland convention committee
"A bank note for a cool million to be
used in Transporting delegates has
been sent by the Cleveland committee
to the secretary of every one of the
ATS constituent boards within the as
sociation. The note is for a million
Russian rubles. and local boards are
advised that the amount is equiva-
lent to $50, 900 in United States cur

While boards are given the million
ruble transportation fund to use at
their discretion, it is suggested that
as a matter of courtesy, any change
be turned back to the convention

MRS. TAYLOR TELLS
BETTER HOME NEED
Says They Are Essential to
Improve Race of
Americans.

1.-THE only way to increase the birth
rate among American-born citizens
is to provide better homes" said
Clara Sears Taylor today. Mrs. Tay-
lor, who, as director Of the Rent Com
mission and member of the Advisory
Council of Better Homes In America,
which, in cooperation with the Cen
eral Federation of Womens Clubs.
will formally open Home. Sweet
Home" Monday afternoon, speaks
with authority on the subject Of
housing.
NO one knows better than we,"
says Mrs. Taylor, what this cam
paign for better homes means. More
than lessons in Americanism: more
than all the efforts put forth to i'm
plant patriotism in the hearts of
foreigners coming to America, is the
need for better homes For If a man
builds himself a better home he will
soon take on all patriotism he needs
to make him good citizen.
Condition of Homes.
'.In the brief time the Rent Commits
sion has been in existence we have
inspected nearly 10000 homes in
Washington. This means going from
cellar to attic. Every part of the
plumbing must be examined. Every
physical feature of the structure
looked into. And in going through
the houses and hearing testimony
we soon discover what effect the con-
ditions in the house have on the in
dividual and the community We then
readily understand why SO many peo-
PIE are driven to suicide and crime.
After you have heard the testimony
and followed the cases up II Is all
quite plain.
tity OF homes. little of the quality. It
has been pointed out that there is an
alarming shortage, but very little has
been written or spoken before this
about better homes. The prosperity
OF nation depends upon its home
life. There can be no sound pros
perity accompanied by a low morale
The status of the morale of a coun-
try is determined by the life OF the
people inside the home.
Quality OF Houses.
THE quality of the home-that Is to
say. the home itself. which is con-
tained in the area bounded by the
front and back doors. on which the
spirit of the family life depends-is
affected by the family. budget. If too
much of that budget goes for rent
every department of home life suffers
Rent is the fundamental figure in the
budget. While not more than % per
cent of the income, wages or salary
should go for rent, as an actual fact
it is nearer so per cent in the large
industrial centers of the country.

Continued from Page 5 NO OUTSTANDING TEAM
 IN FOOTBALL GAMES

With the usual lack of clarity, the football season ended with no def mite leader having established it's claim to the national title. In some cases even sectional leadership was in dispute.
 In the East, for example, Princeton, Cornell, the Army and West Virginia completed unbeaten seasons, and each feels that it has valid claim to the championship. Princeton is recognized in some quarters as the leading eleven of the section, but Cornell and Army advocates are many and argumentative.
 Sectional Friction
 Something of the same condition exists in the Middle West. Michi- gan and Iowa won all of their Con- ference games, and, in addition, the Hawkeyes came East and disposed of Yale. A comparison of Big Ten scores favors Michigan somewhat, but this fact is counter-balanced by the Conference standing, which shows Iowa the winner of five games to Michigan's four.
 The University of California, now ever, established clear leadership in inc Pacific Coast Conference ana, in fact, through the entire ROCKY Mountain district, and Vanderpllt most certainly was far and away the best of the Southern elevens.
 In the intersectional meetings ol importance the East might be gwen the edge because of the vlctorles oi Princeton over Chicago, Harvard over canter College and Syracuse over Ne braska.

 However, the year of 1922 saw trio of demi-adults fall heir to the highest honors of golfing Amerlca' heating off more mature competition with jaunty assurance. They are Gene Sarazen. age 21, who starlieo the country by winning the natlonal open title at Skokie from tleld of the best foreign and domest1c pros; Jess Sweetser, age 22, who won the amateur title at Brookl1ne, and Miss Glenna Collett, age |" winner of the women's natlonal championship at White Sulphur Springs, Va.
 Skokie a Fluke?
 For some occult reason Sarazen's Skokie performance was deemed fluke, so it devolved upon him to finish first in the Professional Golf CTS Association event at Pittsburg and then turn around and defeat Walter Hagen, British open cham pion, in special two-day match 3 up and 2 to play.
 This victory established Sarazen, a mere caddie five years previously, as one of the truly elect Not only did he overcome a three-hole lead that Hagen held going into the final day, but it was less than 24 hours after he holed his winning putt that Sarazen was hurried to a nearby hos pital, victim of appendicitis.
 Only super-champion could have been capable of such Spartan cour- age and rare consistency under the lash of competition, and, per SC, performances take prece- dence over Hagen's winning of the British open title at Sandwich, re- beating Jock Hutchinson's victory of the year previous.
