Care in Frying.
Tie first step in the digestion OF
fat is its melting. Some fats melt
at a lower point than body tempera-

and work more efficiently.

ing is cooking by means of INNER

Great care must be taken IN trying
that the fat is at the right tempera-
ture. If too low. the food will soak
the fat-if too high the fool becomes
brown too quickly and will be under

HOME STANDARD
IMPROVES, SAYS
SHANNON
Local ReaItor States That
Small Houses Can Be Made
Attractive

Herbert T. Shannon, president of
Shannon and Luchs, Inc, is
authority for the statement that
the advance in the standard of
architecture in small and medium
sized homes has been more pro-
nounced during the past five years
than in any other branch of con-
struction. not only in Washington
but throughout the entire country.
The day is past" said Mr.. Shan

roof on four walls with the othodox

'ings and dispose of his product"
1t is simply matter of edu.
cation. Buyers Of small homes
have learned that even though a
house is small it can be made
architecturally attractive. How
this education has been acquired
may be a moot question. Many
national magazines have claimed
the credit and undoubtedly some
does belong there. A careful
study, however, Of the history Of
this development will, am sure.

the major credit should 20 to the

they dreamed. When / say realtors

tional Association of Real Estate
Boards but the right to use it
because they take their profession
seriously and believe that greater
profit inevitably follows greater
service. 1t is these men, who,
through years of contact with the
buyer, have learned to- put them
selves in the buyers place and look
at things through his eyes. They
have realized the desire for beauty
and charm as well as utility and
realizing that desire set out TO
fulfill it. 1t was they who really
taught the buyers that such beauty
could be had at a very small add.
tional cost.
The result is that today buyers
OF small homes are more critical
and expect and demand architec.
tural proportion and beauty which
was formerly supposed 10 be re-
served for the man who could buy
the higher priced article.
Practically every city in the coun-
try has had the same experience we
have had here. Last June, when
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards met in Washington,
we made a point of talking with
realtors from every section. With
out exception these men told us
that their experience was along
similar lines to ours.
An architect who starts to plan
small homes has two main problems
presented. the design of the exterior
and the proper planning Of the in.
terror, the latter being very much
more of a problem in small than in
large houses, because Of the neces-
sity Of utilizing every foot Of space
for it's proper use.
In our own operations we found,
several years ago, that the services
of thoroughly competent and ex-
perienced architects was necessary
II we were to meet the demand
which we believed was bound to
come. The demand for beauty AMI
attractiveness. The demand did ar
rive and our earlier Judgment vindi-
Gated. The congratulations which
we have constantly received con-
corning the architecture Of our
homes seems to suggest that our
selection Of architects was also
correct.

2-FAM|LY HOME
DEMAND IS
GROWING
Eiker & Solomon Report Good
Business Despite Dull
Season

Despite the general opinion that
the summer months are dull in
the real estate business, the newly
organized firm Of Eiker and Solo,
mon report an active market and
good demand for two-family
apartments and small investment
properties.
The two-family house is a happy
solution of the question of home
ownership, they state. Two.family
homes that can be put up and
sold for a reasonable fraction more
than the price of a single home
on the same lot will find ready
buyers who quickly recognize the
soundness of putting a little more
into the initial cost to derive the
benefit of the rent from one Of
the apartments while living in the
other.
Among the deals reported by
Eiker and Solomon as contaminated
in the last few weeks are the
following:

REALTY COURSE
To Be GIVEN
by. NJ. c. A.
Members of Real Estate Board
to Deliver Lectures ON
Various Subjects

Arrangements for real estate
course, beginning early in October,
have been completed by the local
Y. NJ. c. A., according to Mr.. Daniel
c. Dollarhide, dean of the business
college. For several years past, this
institution has conducted lecture
courses on real estate, and they
have proven very popular, and in
view of the persistent demand, the
course will be continued this year.
The course is outlined under the
supervision Of the Washington Real
Estate Board. whose members, in
the main, deliver lectures on the
various topics discussed.
In speaking of tho course today,
Mr.. John A. Petty, executive secre-
tary of the Washington Real Estate
Board, who has acted as instructor
at the local Y. M. c. A. for several
years, stated that the work con-
Quoted by the Washington board
along educational lines is in har-
mony with the movement fostered
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards to extend real estate
education nationally. Boards in all
parts Of the country are conducting
lecture courses through the coop.
GRAFTON of Y. M. c. A. schools,
business colleges and other educa.
tional institutions.
This work which is largely ele
mental in type is the forerunner OF
definite collegiate courses in real
estate that have already been start
ed and will be established more OF
less universally in the near future
Several universities have already
arranged a four.year under-gradu
ate course with real estate and its
allied subjects as the background OF
study. These technical subjects
when coupled with other under
graduate collegiate subjects round
out a curriculum covering -four
years that leads to the standard
bachelors degree.
One of the most serious llandicaps
In the development of educational
work along real estate lines has
been the lack of suitable text ma
terial but the work that has beer
going on for the past few years
has evolved several satisfactory
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-09-13

text books that are being used as
a basis for further development.
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards has created a special
educational department under the
direct supervision of a college pro-
fessor and this department is now
working toward the development of
series Of standard texts, several
Of which have already been pub
lished.
Progress made to date, Mr.. Petty
stated, clearly indicates that the
time will arrive when the same
study and training will be required
to enter the real estate profession
as is now required in many of the
other professions.

Arc of Fish and Fowl.

News comes from Kirchbarken Of
the capture in a canal there Of a
German carp 100 years old. The
Associated Press says: The cente-
marian caught in a net, after being
taken to town IN tank and exam
ined by scientists. was liberated In
the canal where it was taken. the
fishermen believing this act would
bring them good luck There Is
much interest in the age of fish.
Every now and then dispatch
comes telling Of the capture OF a very
old carp. There is not the same
keen scientific interest in the age of
fowl as in the age Of fish. The great
age at which some hens and roost@s
die in the vicinity Of Washington
seems to pass unnoticed except by
those who eat them. 1t is believed
that on some Of the automobile roads
near Washington, and perhaps In the
city itself. chickens are served which
have achieved a more interesting age
than this 10o-year-old German carp.

which he so promptly and correctly
recites. No matter How 'skiihully he
handles the machine in his tsst ride

when alone, be a speed demon, a road
hog ard chronic rule breaker. Yet
Until he comes to gfi6f through a

Plainly the standard Of fitness for
the privilege-and It is q privileges and
not q risht-of operating a dangerous
machine In the streets Of the city is
not sufficiently high. Certainly there
Is no adequate safeguard against ir-
responsibility. The reckless driver
who damages the machine Of q law
abiding, careful motorist gives no
guarantee Of reimbursement. The law
requires him to give none. In many
cases the machine he drives Is his
only security, and 1t often is under.

against in the satisfaction of judg-
ment.
All these considerations are to be
taken into account in the drafting Of
new laws or new rules affecting the
traffic situation in the District. which
demands q drastic re.
vision. The mere readjustment Of the
scale of fines or other penalties will
not meet the need. What is required
10 some plan Of licensing that will
keep the reckless, the law-defiant, the
incompetent and the irresponsible of
the streets as drivers. incidentally,
that will lessen the number of cars
and so relieve the traffic conditions in
other respects. For the plain truth
OF the matter is that there are too
many motors now in use in this city.
chiefly by reason OF the fact that
many OF the cars are driven by per.
sons who should never be licensed.

The Root of the Evil. .

At present the only method Of as
certaining the fitness Of a person to
operate a motor car in the streets Of
Washington is to subject him to an
examination in the rules and to q
Test Of his ability to handle machine.
These oral and physical examinations
are conducted with as great thorough
ness as circumstances permit, but
they do not reach the point where
they develop the responsibility Of the
occupant. There is no inquiry into
character or into financial capacity
to meet obligations entailed in the
course Of motor accidents. Just as
anybody can, under the present laws,
buy a deadly weapon by giving any
name and any address to the dealer
and SO become equipped to kill, so
any person who can answer q few
questions and can prove his ability
TO handle a machine can secure a
license to drive through the Capitals
streets.
~ That there are many now licensed
to drive in this District who are not
qualified in the sense Of moral and
financial responsibility is evident
from the high percentage Of accidents
and. the large casualty list. For in
virtually every case Of q so-called &C.
cident there is fault on one side or
the other. Only too plain is 1t that
there is excessive speeding in defiance

there are many car drivers who are

there are drivers who have no sense

by the applicant for license, he may
be inclined to ignore all the rules

tionship the Washington correspond
ent bears to the Government and to
the people Of the Government. Mr..
karger, for 20 years correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Times-Star, had had
an intimate association with the pub
lie men Of his day. He had known
the Presidents from Roosevelt In
Washington, and he had known Nc
Kin1ey well before he came to the
Capital. Karger was one of the cor
respondents in whom every one re-
posed confidence and condolences! His
advice was sought by cabinet officers
and other high officials and more than
often acted upon.
There Is no place In all the world
where the newspaper man and his
news sources" met OH such terms of
equality as Washington. In a small
er way the same conditions prevail
ut various state capitals: but In
Washington, where the corps of cor
respondents Is counted In the hundreds
and where the ramifcations of Govern
ment spread SO far and so wide, there
Is relationship which is unique, to say
the ieasi.

through him TO the corps whose finer
traditions he always fought to main
