Use OF NAME

DENIED
Word Copyright Of National
Association Of Real
Estate Boards

An injunction against the use Of
the term ''reaItor'' by a real estate
broker not member OF any con-
stituent board of the National Asso.
citation OF Real Estate Boards has
just been entered in the District
Court OF Weber County, Utah.
The decree was issued on CONE
plant Of the Ogden, Utah, Real
Estate Board and the National
Association against Reuben A. Saun-
ders. 1t followed less than three
weeks after the issuing of .
similar decree by the Circuit Court
of the city OF Norfolk, Va. on
the joint complaint Of the Norfolk
Real Estate Board and the Ma
tional Association. The Virginia
decree declares that the use of the
term "realtor' by a real estate
dealer not a member OF a real
estate board belonging to the ma
tional association lis OF such q
character as to mislead and de.
ceive the public, and so deprive
them OF the protection afforded by
actual membership In such a
board.
A similar case filed by the Og.
den Real Estate Board against e.
w Cannady at the same time az
the Saunders case. but in another
division of the court, is set for
trial in September.
The applications for injunctions
are part of a vigorous campaign
being carried on by the national
association with the help of its
local member boards for the pur.
pose of protecting the term
''reaItor."

The builder who is on the alert

those features which will add 20 the

paying the attention they should to

ingly unnecessary items. The re-
suit is often unfortunate, as far as
woodwork Is concerned. and the
owner gains no real economy.
Many houses are being built with
just enough wood finish to meet
the barest standards. Such houses
have far less value than those en-
bellished by the proper amount of
fine woodwork.
MillwOrlx Cuts Cost.
Quantity production cuts down
the cost Of millwork. The cost Of
a door, for instance, is said to be
80 per cent less from the mill than

Reddy Fox didn't leave his home
again that day. One eye was swol-
len shut. His tongue was swollen,
for one of those wasps had stung him
on the tongue. He ached and smarted
all over. Long after he had reached
home he had yelped more than once
because of a fresh sting. Some Of
those wasps had worked their way
down through the long fur OF his
coat. Never in his life had he felt so
wholly miserable, and it was all be

Envy.

GutS
For envy the chief priests had
delivered him up.-Mark xv.1N.
A great many of us, for reasons of
breeding, training or natural eau
tion, easily avoid the grosser sensual
sins which receive most of the op-
probrium of civilized communities
while the sins of the spirit, which are
the root sins of human nature
flourish among us
First consider envy
This is no rarity in our modern
life, even within the churches.
1t is always leading element in
theological controversy.
And how many of our dissatisfac-
tlons with life are due to casting
envious eyes on the career of some
body else.
We fail to count our own blessings
because we are jealous of another's
blessings.
The plain woman is envious of her
beautiful sister.
The poor man envies the rich man.
The man out of office is jealous of
the officeholder
But there is something worse than
experiencing this more or less nat
ural but undesirab BILE impulse
And that is allowing our conduct
to be controlled by envy
Doubtless the chief priests had
many ways of justifying their atti-
tude toward Jesus. The fact cannot
he hid that they delivered him up
for envy.
Is not the same sin abundantly
present today?

Scarfs of Many Kinds Displayed.
by MARY MARSHALL.

Fashion favors the utmost variety
in the choice of scarfs. In fact,
many of the contraptions that we
call and wear ScarfS nowadays
would never have been recognized as
such year or two ago.
For instance, there is one scarf
yards long and a yard wide OF
fine chiffon. 1t is worn around the
shoulders or neck. then draped down
over the shoulder nearly to the hem,
mp again and around the hips for a
erdle. with. the end hanging down
1T one side.

TIL" sketch shows one of the new
very long scarfs of metallic brocade
which is used with a simple black
velvet evening gown.
Some Of the newest of Scarfs show
a white or beige Georgette back
ground with designs wrought at the
ends by means of cleveriy applied
-shits of colored georgette. One has
to examine these scarfs quite closely
10 make sure that the colored de-
sign is not printed or painted.
some or the ScartS might IN reality
he called shawlS, since they are
square or nearly square in shape
i They may be had in georgette and
crepe de chine. Unlike the true
shawl, they are trimmed on three
sides. Heavy silk fringe or fringe
OF long ostrich f1ueS is the usual
choice. Long loops of ribbon are ap-
piled in triple row around three
sides of one square chiffon evening
scarf.
The scarf for daytime is smaller
and seems to be growing distinctly
rarrow. Often it is quite definitely
shaped and of quite formal conStruc-
lion. Sometimes they take the form
of stocks, with IA slit through which
, 10 draw one end The slit is placed
at the front with the two ends .hang-
ing or tied at front.
Not infrequently little daytime
scarfs are made to he worn with ends
at the back. One that is edged
halfway round with a thick ruchine
is worn high about the neck in front
with ends flowing at the back:
another of plaid crepe de chine is
-Iied in IA four-in- hand knot at the
Hape of the neck.
While georgettes and chiffons
fashion most of the evening ScarfS,
daytime ScarfS for Autumn make
use of heavier materials, f1annelS,
velvet or velours.
