PROTECTING THE
COUNTRY SIDE

1t is a worthy aim to which
the National Association of
Real Estate Boards is lending
it's aid in planning to cooperate
with outdoor advertising inter
ests in the endeavor to obtain
rational regulation of billboards
and posters in the United
States. And it is reasonable to
say that the fact that it has def
initely stated that it is opposed
to any extreme movement or
controversy is likely to make
for the production of better re-
suits than if it were outlining a
radical program. The associa-
ton takes the stand that any
industry should be self-regulat-
ing, but it feels also that the
billboard is a matter of direct
interest to owners of property,
because it exercises a vital ef-
feet upon reaQstate.
In this connection, it is in
teresting to remark that the size

AMERICAN WOMEN
HAPPIER

The Queen of Roumania dis
covered that American women
are the freest and happiest in
the world. She expressed this
conviction at St. Louis. The
reason for this, she told St.
Louis women, is that your men
allow the women to do their
share. This is not true in Rou-
mania. She continued: Il
am struck with the wonderful
lives of the women here. | shall
take home a vision of the won
derful work that women do
here. while at the same time
they are having a glorious time
of it.
The Queen s conviction is
we'll founded. American wo-
men are free and happy. They
are more free even, and more
to be envied, than the gracious
queen who has had an oppor-
tunity to observe them. They
are the wives, mothers, and
equals of their men.

E PLURIBUS UNUM

A Jew gave Aagpole to the
Methodist Church ;the American
Legion raised it; a Catholic
priest dedicated it; the K. K. X.
gave the American flag. and a
war veteran whose forbears
were slaves raised it. This all
happened in Port Huron, Mich,
not in Herrin, Illinois. Commu-

of billboards, their erection in
residential districts, the setback
from the sidewalk, and such
other features, are to be con-
sidered specifically, and Axel
Lonnquist, the head of special
committee Of the association
appointed to take up this ques-
ton, has also said that it is not
outside the question to say that
some degree of damage through
aesthetic depreciation or viola
ton of natural beauty must be
considered. We propose,
he has added, that the mem
Der boards Of the National AS
ISOLATION Of Real Estate Boards
report on the progress being
made in their particular COM
munity toward the attainment
Of the restriction of billboards
that are obnoxious, or signs or
posters which are used in di-
rect contravention to the i'm
provement Of the industry it
self.
While it would perhaps be
exceedingly difficult to obtain
regulation of the subject mat
ter of these billboards and pos
tiers, this aspect of the subject
is one, however, which should
not be forgotten. 1t may be
granted that it is important
that due attention be paid to
the size, position, ETC., OF these
advertising mediums, but no
tice should also be taken Of
what is being advertised there
on. The influence welded by
large posters and signs, utilizing
the force of reiterated sugges-
ton. is almost beyond compu-
tation. 1t is we'll to remember,
therefore, that not only does a
billboard tend to mar the beau
tiful aspect Of the natural coun-
tryside, but it is likely also to
be silently encouraging some
harmful activity. There is room
for regulation of billboards and
posters along more directions
than the merely aesthetic or
utilitarian.

Leisure III America IS no longer
the reward of wealth. 1t is the priv
ledge of all. Forty-four hour weeks,
numerous holidays, vacations, end
weekend freedom have provided all
classes in America with moments
of spare time.
Were these periods of leisure to
mean so much time for idlenesS,
there might we'll be cause for con
Germ among those who follow the
sociological development Of ,he
race, but fortunately, the happy,
hopeful, and every youthful psy-
;hology of America has directed

A cursory survey of history clear
indicates to us that those nations
which have had the most leisure
have advanced farthercst; and
hat those nations which have
thwarted men in their desire for
leisure's gifts have remained be-
hind or have plunged themselves
into social disorders.

THE MAINLAND GOES
AHEAD

Without making any great
fuss or parade about it, the
Mainland has been maintaining
its volume of real estate trans
fers. AS a matter of fact the
real estate transfers recorded
for the last three months have
been of greater number than
for the same period last year.
Upward of 1860 transactions
have been recorded for Septcm-
Der, October and November OF
this year. The developments
in Egg Harbor Township have
been unusual in number and
the township leads the Main
land as to total. The City OF
Pleasantville comes in a close
second, while Galloway Town.
ship and Somers Point have al
so been sections of which the
Mainland is proud. Absecon
did better than usual, and
Mortified and Linwood are
more than holding their own.
The buying interest in Main
land properties is that OF home
building sentiment. Permits
issued for building are also OF
heavy volume. All Of this in
dictates the substantially OF the
Mainland and its increasing de-
STABILITY for homes.
Another happy feature OF
Mainland home building is the
friendly rivalry between the
cities of the Mainland. Adj
vancement made in any one OF
the cities Of the Mainland is
quickly noted by the Others
and favorably commented up
on.

Shorter and speedier traffic

aims sought by State Engineer w.

the State alone would build, is
recommended

engineer further deyelopes his
ideas for accommodating Delaware

State engineer would weave about
the State, using the existing State
highway system as something OF

Commission will take the Sloan
survey into serious consideration
when it writes its own program
for submission to the 1927 Legis-
lature.
Additional information given
today upon Major Sloans's months
of scientific study, which was
undertaken at the request of the
State board, shows that he would
designate Metropolitan, Trenton
and Camden terminal systems,
|
TO every nook and corner of New
Jersey.
In frequent instances he would
shorten and otherwise speed
traffic to the 100 miles of ocean
front and likewise to interior OBJ
jectives like the Delaware Water
Gap country and to the High
Point Park district. Such a
, system is not only necessary but
necessary at once" Major Sloan
claims.

coincident with an increase in
the number of persons living or
doing business in a certain area.
A distinction has always been
drawn between those sections
which are purely business dis
tricts and those which are res
idential areas, although in many
instances there is mingling cf
trade with dwelling buildings
which so influences rental val
ues that it is not possible to say
just how far each factor affects

Offices have been erected,
though in the case of certain
industries dependent largely
upon the dictates of what is
termed the fashions, specially
designed structures have been
able to pay very high ground
rents and still leave a profit for
their owners.
With the development OF
residential districts, either by
tearing down old dwellings or
by construction in new areas.
the price Of piece Of land can
be pretty accurately estimated
by the number of persons who
will occupy it. When increas-
ing population brings a demand
for additional retail merchan-
dising facilities, it will often be
observed that the ground floors
of dwelling buildings are con-
verified into shops. thus afford
ing additional rental values.
Here. again, fashion plays a
part, for shops in a district OF
high-class houses or apartments
will usually command sub
stantially higher rent than those
in an area where the general
purchasing power is distinctly
lower. Ability to pay high pri-
ces for goods, in these condi-
tons, counts for more than
numbers of possible buyers.
An interesting feature OF the
growth Of American cities is
the tendency in some shopping
districts to establish retail shops
occupying the second story of
business structures. 1t was Tor
long time supposed that the
public would not patronize
shops above the street level.
but with the improved elevator
accommodation that has been
installed, customers seem to
find their way upstairs in pro-
htable numbers. If this pgac-

effect upon land values in GER

crease the income from any city

that he would begin informal discus

that the order is without warrant at
law" Senator Cummins said "The
president had no more right to issue
that order than | did.
Il am not saying that the govern.
ment can not employ state officers
in prohibition enforcement if the
state and the individual officers are
willing. ! Congress fixed the method
by which they could be employed,
however That is either by the at

In the. House that it was not an in
trusion on state rights and that
California state officers had assisted
in the enforcement of federal quar-
antine laws under an executive or
der issued in 1907 He also held that
state officers helped enforce other
federal laws.
If California is unwilling for its
officers to enforce the federal dry
law, Mr.. Swing added, its Legislature
can SAY so and stop it." Calling at
tention that California has a state

Who can object to the executive

to avoid detection?'
