Realtors of the nation have visited
their Capital City and today are leav-
ing, impressed with the needs of the
Capital. Members of the Washing
ton Real Estate Board planned well
for their convention. bringing. forth
the praise of those who attended the
seventeenth annual convention of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, which ended yesterday
But while discussing the problems
which face the realtors of the coun-
try. the local men have not over
looked any opportunity to acquaint
the voting men from the states of
the problems which face the Capital,
and how the people of this city are
dependent on those in the states who
vote to send men here who will pro-
vide for the Capital as the people of
the country would want. Local
realtors point out that it was sur
prising to learn how little the think
ing men of the country knew of the
Capital City and how it's government
is run. And many of them promised
70 pay more attention to it in the
future.
Several speakers during the con-
vention and at dinner parties that
were given openly pointed out that
the Capital was suffering and volun-
tarily promised that they would do
something to help it. The conven-
tion itself in general session passed
3 resolution urging prompt atten-
tlon to planning for the future, that
the Capital and the people of the
nation may be saved millions of dol
lars that other cities have had to
spend because of lack of city plan.
Ethics Code Has ''Teeth.,
Problems dealing with all phases
of the real estate business were dis
cusSed at the convention, sand there
were many papers with genuine
ideas. which, if carried out, will i'm
prove the profession, for that is the
ultimate goal of the realtors-that is,
to place the business on a plane with
the legal, medical and other profess
sions. This plan includes the estab-
lishment of real estate courses as
part of the curricula of large univer-
stiles of the country, and also corre-
Spondence courses for those already
in the business, Already a number
of Y NJ c. a. schools are giving
night courses.
One of the most important actions
of the convention was the adoption of
q code of ethics with teeth in it,"
and the realtors were urged to try it

general conditions, and obviously, it
was pointed out, there will be indi-
Nidual problems to come up from time
70 time that will not be covered.
Generally, il calls upon realtors to
deal fairly with every one and never
TO represent more than one side in
negotiations unless both sides fully
consent to double representation.
Realtors were told to see that every
member of their local boards complied
with it and to take appropriate action
against those who failed or refused
to comply, for only by standing rig
idly by such a code can the profession
expect to maintain the respect of the
citizens of the community.

Thanks for Assistance
 At the French Bazaar

Miss Bertha Chamberlain chairman of the French bezaar and inc officers and directors of the New Britain Me- All auxiliary, wish to. extend their hearty thanks to the following, whose cooperation helped so largely in mak- ing the result so successful:
 Mir. Bishop, the designer and crea- tor of the French bazaar, New Britain Sigh company, |. w. C. A., Davidson X Levcnthal, Besse- Leland. The Outlet Millinery Co. the Girl Scouts, Nolz Floral O., Boy Scouts, Manning Shoe Co, and Monier Bros. also to all mem bers of the McAll Ausiliaries who so chcorfully gave of their time.
 The fascination of the Riviera at the French bazaar lay in it's alluring decoration 10 the generosity and supervision of Davidson & Leyenthal and the Young Women's Guild of the South church.
 The French bazaar was opened in a most suspicious maner by the ex- cellent marching drill of the Girl Scouts which did much to create en- thusiasm.
 Miss Cornclia and Miss Bestha Chamberlain are delegates to the an- nual convention of the American Me- All association held in Troy, x. Y. Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD

The people of the city are reminded many times day of the work of the board Of public works. That board has to do with the streets, the walks. and all sorts of matters that are, literally, continually under our noses."
 Former Alderman Frank l.. Conlon, has just been elected president of that board. With so much work of improv- ing the streets directly before the board Of which he will have charge, the inn pulse comes 10 speak word of com menuation for the manner in which he has performed his duties in the common council, the attitude of fair ness that has been characteristic of him, and of the confidence we feel in his ability to meet well the require ments Of his new post.
 There is significance in the chang ing attitude of public officials that is worthy of noting. There is seen less of the tendency Of officials from one portion Of the city to favor the locs- ton in which they are especially in- terested. It seems that there is a slight broadening in the viewpoint. The day Is passed when the head of . board looks out especially for the people in the part Of the city in which he lives. at the expense of others. All of the people are being considered to . greater extent than ever before.
 This k quite as 1t should be. Of course. Mir. Conlon Is the sort ot man, we believe, who will display this proper spirit

 Dr. Butler Is one Of tho best known 1 educators of the ountry. 10 say noth-

AWAY FROM HOME

When man who has spent long and useful life in certain city be- comes ill while away from home, or. being i'll, is taken to a hospital in an- other city, it it 8 comfort to him to know that his friends and acquaint- anees in his "home town" are think ing Of him and hoping for his quick recovery. Such soothing knowledge sometimes is the straw that holds a man to life and draws him back, slow ly but surely, from the great unknown.
 Today A, J. sopcr of New Britain, is sick and absent from this city for which he has done much and which. he would be the first 10 say, has done much for him. He loves New Britain, and the people of the city, realizing more lully now when he is i'll the im- portant place he has occupied here for so many years, are indeed thinking of him and praying for his speedy re- turn 10 health. If such knowledge is to him; if it brings him added strength in his fight, VIC arc proud indeed 10 be able to pass it on to him fin the hope that it will help to bring him back to his own place In his city and our city.

family as that in which Dr. Butler places the eighteenth amendment. If all lax returns are to lie open to the observation of the enemies of the men who make them, there will come the tendency on the part of makers Of tax returns to hide their. sources of in come: 10 increase in every possible way their deductions. Many will feel that their private rights have been in- v&GCd-that information concerning their linancial affairs which is the business only of the government and themselves is being. spread broadcast. If Dr. Butler's reasoning is correct they will feel that they. being wrong cd, have a right to crade the law just 'cs lie holds that many now feel they have right 10 evade the Nolstead law, it being of 2 nature directly antagonis- tie to their right of personal liberty.
 Whatcvcr We may believe regard ing Dr. Buffers reasoning, we crrtain- ly gre justified on getting ready to step cn the brake when the tendency 10 intcreferc with mems private life and affairs is growing in power-when the fedcral government keeps on insisting that il is the personal guardian of the morals and personal habits of the community.
 There is an honest difference of opinion as to the success or failure of prohibition in this country. There may he little difference of opinion when it comes to the chcrishing of the right to free speech, much or little as we may believe in the propriety Of such criticisms as recently voiced by the head of the Columbia university,

\ TINY "GI.O.i1"

Jret aSone swallow does not mako
 summer. one days trial of tn" one
 way traffic about Central Park does
 not approve its success. Hut there
 was pretty good evidence yesterday i that there was every indication the
 residents Of the city would approve of
 it after the two weeks trial which , was begun.
 1 It must bc remembered thGt the only trial of the one-way trafilc has ! been at night. an especially poor time to make traffic innovation. But
 despite this fact the Saturday night experiments have been of such na- ture as to indicate that one-way traf-
 lc all the time might be a success after all. The result was the attempt which is now being made by those who have believed in it despite opposition. And the innovation bids fair to be- come permanent.
 This is the plan long advocated by those who looked ahead and saw that a continuation of the old order Of things would result either in keeping people away from the center in the busy hours, if they were in the habit of coming downtown in their cars or else in such congestion that passa SC about the park would involve discom- forting delays bringing general con- fusion in certain hours of the day.
 The praise of the way in which this system is working may be considered premature, and serious fault may be found with it before the two weeks trial is over. But comment at thls time is made for the purpose of em- phasizing one or two things having 10 do with innovations of every sort.
 The one-way traffic about the park plan was not thoroughly understood by everyone. And yet everyone seemed 10 feel justified in denouncing or praisins it. No plan should be eritieiz- ed, favorably or adversely, until tho critic is quite sure he or she under stands exactly what the plan is. Am other point 10 be emphasized is that theory and practice are quite different sort Of animals. The lion and the lamb may lie down in peace together in theory, but let's not try it in prac- ticc--we feel sorry for the lamb unless it happens to be the sort which wears [ shecp's clothing. There were many i theoretical objections 10 the one-way | traffic plan. They fail 10 materialize in practice. And it is for this very reason that we may expect. possibly that ob- iections to 1t may be seen in practice l that did not loom up when the theory | of the plan was discussed. Nasty | judgment should not be made, but thus far it seems 10 work we'll, and | the sight Of cars circlinE the park, without delays and without any con- ses,ion anywhere, certainly makes strong appeal.
