REALTYTRIBUTE PAID
TO UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Wreaths From Canadian and U. S.
Realtors Placed on Tomb After
Rites in Amphitheater.
SECRETARY WEEKS SPEAKS
Pleads for Preparedness and Pa
triotism Throughout America.

Pausing in their deliberations for sew
eral hours yesterday, the National AS
sociation of Real Estate Boards made
a pilgrimage to the tomb of the Un
known Soldier at Arlington. There, after
brief ceremonies in the amphitheater
where Secretary of War Weeks spoke,
the assemblage marched to the tomb.
The Unknown Soldier was honored inter-
nationally when wreaths from both the
realtors of America and realtors of
Canada were placed reverently on the
sarcophagus.
While the realtors formed a semi
circle around the tomb, and guard of
honor of United States cavalrymen
stood at rigid salute, William Bosley of
Toronto, Canada, marched slowly up
and deposited Canada's wreath. Bow
ing reverently, he drew from his pocket
a small silk flag of the British Dominion
and placed it upright in the wreath.
President II. r. Ennis of the National
Association then placed on the tomb the
wreath of the American realtors, and
all stood with bowed heads for a mo-
ment, until the sergeant of the guard
of honor called attention.
Here we pay tribute to the service

URGE STREET VENDING
BE BARRED DOWNTOWN
Merchants and Manufacturers OPP
pose Sidewalk Sales in Con-
gested Area.

Recommendation that no street
vending be allowed in the business
section of the city from fennss wanna
avenue to X street and 1th TO loth
streets was contained in letter TO
the District Commissioners TO-DAY
from the Merchants and Manu1ac-
turers Association.
Declaring that they are fully MIND
fuI of the regulations in regard 10
street vendors, the association in It's
letter saws lit seems that when THESE
matters have reached the court the
regulation has failed in its purpose.
The letter suggests that the District
Commissioners consult with the legal
department of the District and make
further effort to enforce the street
vending rules.
The association states:
Equity is violated through the sale
of merchandise on public highways.
The sidewalks and streets or TINS or
any other community We're designed
and should only be used for the free
movement of the public and without
special or privileged use such as is
now taken advantage of by the push
cart. hand-wagon and other vehicle
vendors on 7th street, q and other
streets Quite the biggest nest of all
is usually to be found at 18th and q
streets. On one occasion fifteen carts
vending bananas, onions, tomatoes,
lettuce and flowers were found In
front of one business property. Such
vendors nave been observed TO De
confirmed violators of the traffic reg
ulations, not only as to the overstay
Of time. but to parking in the ahso-
lutely prohibited territory such as
the white mark at the curb to the
corner.
IF the streets are TO he made the
market space. it should be so under
stood, so that all who desire may
have an opportunity to use the space.
1T has appealed to the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association as an
eminently unwise as well as unfair
procedure for public space to be used
in this manner 1t is an unSightly
spectacle at best and one that by no
means comports with metropolitan
community such as the National Cap
ital.
While the vendors complained of
are in no sense compe etitive of the
firms in front of whose buildings they
stand, it is nevertheless unfair and
unjust to those firms. who pay very
heavy taxes and who bear the heat OF
summer. the cold of winter and pro
longed rai2falls. to have their neigh
bodhoods made undesirable by such,
we believe, unlawful and unfair as
