BOWRON LECTURES
 ON SOUTH AMERICA
Community Club Told Of Pos.
 abilities and Handicaps

South America was described to Com munity club members by James Bowron, chairman of the board of directors of the Gulf States Steel company, Thurs day, as a continent with tremendous amount of power and resources, yet undevelopeI.
 Instead of the nations attempting to aid each other.' said Bowron who re- gently returned from an extensive tour of the Latin countries" found them exceptionally jealous of each other s achievements and this hatred is hinder ing possible progress.
 Many of the countries of South America are even now apparently pre- pairing for military conquests," he de- clared. And one finds a number of Ger man officers drilling the native troops" Chile seemed to be the most active in this operation. Bowron said.
 Gambling, the speaker stated, is the most universal curse of the country and on every hand were licensed games of chance. Horse races draw from 150,- 900 to 100000 people on Sundays, Bow ron asserted.
 In touching upon the beauties of South America, Bowron said that Rio de Janerio was undoubtedly the pret. tiest city in the world. Other spots of extreme beauty might be found through. out the continent if one could stand the inconviences of travelling on the slow, small railroad trains, he said.
 Two new members of the organiza ton, Douglas Stockham and Dr. Miller Robinson, were introduced at the meet. ing by W. W. Wilkerson, president

MUTUAL BENEFIT
 REALTY GAME, ECOOLIDGEPLEA
President Outlines Good Business Policy To
 Dealers Convention

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The req estate men of the country were urgtl by President Coolidge in an address de- livered today before the National As sociation of Real Estate Boards, to conduct their business with a view to mutuality of advantage to both buyer and seller.
 The deal in which one side gets the best of it is not good business the President says. "It doesn't promote more business, or produce confidence in business generally. Formerly there was a curious notion that if one side in q business transaction profited, the other must necessarily lose. If that were true all business would be under suspicion and wise people would stand aloof from it.
 Ideal Basis
 The truth is that when two parties enter into a transaction by which each exchanges something which he needs less for something he needs more, both sides are benefitting. That is the ideal basis of all trade and commerce and it is the real basis of most trans actions.
 "It is particularly the opportunity and duty of real estate men to main tain such a standard. As rule their service is that of Iniddlemen, bringing buyer and seller together. They will in the long run prosper if they are guided by the administration to render real service to both sides. The transaction whose sole motive is the brokerage fee, whether or not it is earn cd by genuinely benefitting the prin- cipals, is not commendable."
 The real estate men had gathered on the south lawn of the White House and in opening his address the Presi- dent greeted them as the ''purveyors of cheer, confidence and soundly based optimism"
 "You are in a very literal sense the sellers of America, "he added. You have sold it so well that it is recognized everywhere as the best buy in the world
 Have Advanced Communities
 Your profession has given largely to leadership of the better housing and better homes movement throughout the country. Therein it has done much for the advancement of the community. We cannot hope that good citizens will come from bad homes. There will al- ways be exceptions but on the whole the qudIlty OI CltlbeHS cdHHoC De eA- pected to rise much above the charac- l ter of the home from which the citi- zens come.
 ''The ownership of a home, the feel ing of independence that comes with possession of a bit of the earth are among the most powerful incentives to high civic interest and usefulness. You men represent one of the strong prac- tical forces working to make ours a nation of home-owning families"

Washington Bureau) HILL FERGUSON SPEAKS
Exhibits New Form Of Listing Prop.
 erty To Realtors

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Hill Fer guson of Birmingham, speaking before the brokers division of the National Association of Real Estate Boards at the annual convention of the associa- tion here today, exhibited a manner of listing property designed to give the prospective purchaser a complete view of his investment. The form would give him such complete information that from it he could figure the net income which the property would bring with al- most as much accuracy as he would es- innate income from a bond.
 The possession of accurate lnforma- tion on property being offered for sale is the peculiar service which the broker has to offer, Mir. Fergusan pointed out.
 For residence property, he brought out, the buyer should have a record of existing mortgages. date of possession, and the lake, for business property he he needs complete description of the property, the existing leases with dates of expiration and complete statement of income and. expense, he said.
