HERE
J. E. CrutchfieId Holds D. c.
Property Is Safest
in World

Talk to your banker or realtof
before making any investment and
avoid losses through the efforts of
sWindlers," was the advice offered
today by ]. r.. Crutchfield, sales
manager for Maddux, Marshall,
Moss and Mallory, adding that
newspaper reports showed that
swindlers took nearly a billion and
a half dollars from the American
public last year.
while large portion OF these
swindles, according to statistics
compiled by the American Bankers
Association, Better Business Bureau
and other organizations, were OF a
commercial nature. a goodly portion
Of this vast amount was taken by
the smooth salesman of worthless
stock and other commodities.
81 believe today, and figures will
bear me out, that real estate offers
the safest investment that can be
found" said Mr.. Crutchfield. Per
sonally I would 60 further and say
that the best real estate investment
that can be found is in washington
real estate. / think the Capital has
the brightest future of any of the
major cities and that it offers things
to the investor that no other city
can ever offer in addition to every
thing that can be found in any
other city.
Like many others, feel sure
that the Capital will have a popu-
lation of q million or more muck
sooner than most people anticipate.
This, of course, includes such sub
urbs as Edgemoor, Battery Park,
West Chevy Chase and other de-
velopments in nearby Maryland and
the developments in nearby VIr
ginia, all of which / consider a
part Of Washington proper.
Money invested in Washington
real estate is not only a safe in
vestment, but offers what consider
the most certain profit of any In
vestment that can be made. The
steady growth of this entire sec
ton assures the purchaser against
loss and practically insures an ex
cellent profit.
'Washingtonians who lost through
fraudulent investments last year
were few, and If every man Or
woman who contemplates making
any sort Of an investment will 20
to a banker or realtor whom
they know and consult with him
Washington will contribute exact
ly nothing to the billion or more
that swindlers viii obtain next year
from the American people"

Gold As a Remedy

The lowly iron has held an honored
position in the medical world for CEN
turtles. Silver is one of the surgeon S
sure assistants, but gold gains a
reputation at intervals for the treat
ment of one disease or another only
to lose it. During the world war a
claim was made for gold in treating
obstinate cases of digestive disturb
ances, and now a Danish physician
claims to have had the most wonder
full results from injecting solutions
containing gold into the muscles of
tuberculosis patients.
Forty years ago gold was recon-
mended by French doctors for the
cure of epilepsy. and in America,
some years later, it was in great fav-
or as a remedy for this disease. In
England it had a vogue in the treat
ment of nervous diseases, and was
at one time thought highly of as a
remedy for neurasthenia. Quacks
have at all times been eager to avail
themselves of the prestige which gold
holds with the public, and golden
remedies of one kind or another have
been extensively advertised

tion of important developments in con-
nection with radio merchandising.

some OF the best gains being recorded
by the Eastern hard coal carrying roads.
Delaware and Hudson and Lackawanna
each showed net gains of more than .
