WASHINGTON LETTER
tcontinued from paxe ~

their achievements in scientific
research but the average citizen
knows little of their activities.
1t is an astonishing fact that
there are hundreds in the Federal
service living literally on hand
to-mouth basis who refuse at
tractive salaries in private enter
prise.
Interviews with some of these
men show that they regard the
Government as their best friend,
for it provides them with scien-
tifc equipment which could not
be duplicated in private industry.
These men are usually so absorb
ed in the task of proving certain
theories that they work for years
in Government laboratories at a
ridiculously low salary. There
are a few scientists who are men
of means, while others are for
tunate in having wealthy wives.
Secretary Hoover has demanded
more adequate salaries for these
scientists for a number of years
but scientists have always turned
a deaf ear towards his proposals.
The passing of Senator
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, has
aroused nationwide interest
among politicians. There is
much speculation as to the effect
of his removal by death on party
organizations, especially upon
the future political affiliations of
those who voted the third party
ticket last year. Of immediate
interest is the influence on SEN
ate groups, especially the So
called radical bloc, of which Sen
ator LaFollette was the main
string. 1t is generally agreed
that the late Senator was a
distinct force in American poll
tics, a real personality who can
not be replaced.
There is a new cult springing
up in Washington with the in
creased use Of photographs in
newspapers. 1t has been termed
somewhat facetiously the Order
of Camera Crashers." In this
classification are included indi-
viduals who are constantly seek
ing the opportunity of being
photographed directly beside the
President of the United States.
They are sometimes included in
groups of visitors although not
actually members of the party,
received by the Chief Executive,
Despite the vigilance of White
House officials and the efforts of
news photographers to weed
these pests from the ranks, they
are usually in group pictures
The news photographers in devel'
oping the pictures very frequent
ly block out the "crashers" SC
that only the notables among the
visitors appear with the Presi
dent. Sometimes people who
could not ordinarily find theil
way into the White House
grounds are photographed with
Mr.. Coolidge, and mingle with
groups who are being formally
received.

The Doheny case in which the gov

ACTIVITY IN REALTY
| STILL ON INCREASE
Nations Figures for March
| Show Gain in Number Of
|. Transfers Recorded.

The cumulative index of activity
In the real estate market. recently
established by the National Associa-
ton OF Real Estate Boards. shows
a decline for March of points from
the peak reached in February. when
Inc official records of Al typical cities
from which the index is computed in
uicated an activity greater than had
oeen shown for any month in the
past years, except the months of
January and February of last year.
The activity of the real estate mar
ket nationally, however, as shown by
the index, Is points over that shown
in March of last year
The index figure for March is 16S.
IhlS means that the actual number of
real estate transfers and conveyanCes
In the cities reporting was IS per
cent higher during March. 1925. than
the average number of such trans
ferS and conveyanceS recorded in the
same cities during February in the
period l916-l92S, the period taken as
the base of the associations reckon
ingS.
While the index shows a downward
slant in the curve of market activity
for the first time since November
of last year, the total number of trans
ferS and ConVey3nCeS reported for all
except two cities showed an increase
over the totals reported for the pre-
Ceding month. The average total for
March, however, over the period of
eight years used as the base of reck-
oning notiCeably exceeds the average
total for February, and the difference
in this factor has overcome the in
crease in actual number of transfers
recorded, and brought the index for
the month under the February index
The index for indiyiduel cities shows
a non-uniform market. The cases
showing lowered activity were spo-
radio rather than sectional or in pop
ulation groups. The drop, therefore,
may mean two things. 1t may indi-
cate Il somewhat lowered market ac-

toward sterilization, and it may indi-
cate that the real estate market, like
the building industry, is tending to
smooth out and spread its peak of
seasonal activity.
The records of building activity, it
is pointed out, indicate that the sea
sonal peaks are declining, but the
total volume over the year is holding
out. The new index of real estate &C
tivity is bearing out the probability
that the real estate market is closely
correlated with the degree of building
activity.

keeping with other real estate values
in the vicinity.
So far as fundamental conditions
are concerned, general business as re-
ffected by the Babsonchart is now at
per cent above normal and the
foundation is sound. There is nothing
in the business outlook to argue
against the purchase of well selected
real estate as an investment.

The real estate mortgage also offers
an investment opportunity that APP

Should Make Costs Count.

Many people build homes to their
own particular fancy and spend much
money on little things that please
them, but that add to the cost of the
house without increasing it's appraisal
value materially.
These costs may be justified so far
as the home itself is concerned, bat
from an investment angle unique fea-
lures should be avoided. Perhaps the
new buyer will not like them, and in
any event it is improbable that he will
be willing to pay an extra premium
for them. Buy or build the sort of
house that most people will want If
you wish to insure a ready market for
it when you are to sell and realize on
your investment. 1t is necessary, of
course, that the price you pay be in

probable appreciation in the property
itself.
A man may live in $4,000 nome
for five years at what it would have
cost him to rent, but at the END OF
that period If he sells for $l5,O0o the
advantage of the investment Is ap-
parent. The gain comes In the appre-
citation, as we have noted 1t averages
7.e4 per cent, and the extent or the
gain depends upon the owners skill IN
selecting the right kind OF nome lor

Living Cheap in German-Austria

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERNIE, Switzerland, April 12.-
German-Austria is now the cheapest
place in. Europe in which to live, says
the Berner Bund. This is due, it is
said. because the place Is less able
to make gold payments than any other
part Of Europe.

cancies. At 10 per cent on his orig
inal investment he makes no money,
at IL per cent he may make a little,
but the renting of houses is not as
profitable as many people suppose. If
the prospective home owner cares to
compare renting and owning, so far
as upkeep and operation Is concerned,
he can easily do so by figuring from
10 to IL per cent on the purchase
price of his new home, which will
give him the approximate cost of
maintenance.
Income Owner Should Get.
A home costing $4,000 will cost be-
tween $50 and 500 a month to live in,
because the owner should pay himself
interest on the money he has invested
just as the landlord must. The in
vestment should yield good return
because the same money in bonds or
other forms of investment would
bring its regular return.
There is little choice between rent
ing and owning, so far as operating
costs are concerned, except that the
owner takes more interest in the
property and probably does many
things himself that he would insist
that the landlord do if he were rent
ing. So far as investment values go
the two should be considered as even.
The advantage in owning is the gain
made, not in monthly costs, but in the
