! shortage Government has imposed
! upon the real estate business
(rent control) regulations declar-
ed to be of an emergency charac-
ter but which in one case were
extended long after the date first
contemplated and in another are
still in force, with the possibility
of being further extended. The
organized real estate business has
taken a determined stand against
the continuance of such emergen-
cy regulation, has stated that
such regulation tends to defeat
its own purpose by discouraging
building and has declared that it
can and will by itself prevent
abuses. In the conspicuous in
stance where, despite prophecies
of abuse, the rent control regula-
ton ceases the organized real
tors did make good on their dec
laration.
This was a demonstration of
the ability { business to govern
itself. But what further may prop
erly be expected of the real estate
business as a self-governing, re-
sponsible, public-spirited element
in the community? How far, in
the public interest, may present
regulations be done away with?
What present or proposed regula-
tions, such as licensing or brok-
ers, are in the public interest and
in the interest of the real estate
business? What self-governing
functions can the real estate bust
ness assume?"

Savings Big Factor Now
The rapid accumulation of say.
ings funds by individual deposit
ors, estates and organizations is
perhaps one of the greatest fac
tors in the present activity of
real estate. These fast-increasing
funds are being gathered in saw
ings banks, trust companies, CO
operative banks and national
banks. This money must be kept
at work earning interest, and
what better opportunity presents
itself than on a sound mortgage
on real estate. However, banks
must keep their funds in diversi-
fed securities, some very liquid,
in order to meet their demands,
SO real estate never can take 1T
all. So long as there is money
to invest in real estate there pro-
baby will be activity.

their securities to people the

largely responsible for the great
building boom in New York, which
by the way, is continuing. Flor

public interest in real estate
is higher than ever before in the
business history of this country"
declares President Robert Jemi-
son, Jr., Of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards.
Mr.. Jemison says that statistics
indicate "a continuation of the
record activity of the past two
years." pointing out that the past
months total for the country
made a new record for that per-
iod.
"Since the supply of land, both
urban and rural, is limited, atten-
ton is being drawn more and
more to real estate as an invest
ment for savings" he says. "The
most recent studies of the Nation
al Association point to an active
real estate market for the COM
ing season. Interest rates favor

estate development in all parts
of the country encourage activi-
ties in our field. Insurance COM

is indication of a tendency to-
wards diminishing rents in some

in residential or business and Of

Mr.. Jemison says that he is
preparing to emphasize better
building and that he is asking
the cooperation of organizations
interested in architecture, con-
struction and building finance to
encourage sound practices, par
ticularly with reference to home
building. Already he has receiv-

Norma Shearer advances steadily toward her destiny of America's favorite screen star by her per formance in "The Waning Sex" which opened last night at the New Palace.
 Light comedy like HIS Secre- tary," drama like "The Snob," melo- drama like "The Devils Circus" and now farce like "The Waning Sex" all of these varying mediums finds Norma Shearers superb rising to any demand they may make.
 In The Waning Sex which is an adaptation from Fanny Hatton's stage success of the same name she plays the part of an attorney beau- tiful and hrainy and loved by the rising young district attorney, enact by Conrad Nagel.
 There are emotional scenes in the story wherein Miss Shearer's startling dramatic range is afforded full expression, but for the most part the story is played in a subdued note with a sort of whimsical drol lery that exposes a new face to this remarkable actress many sided personality.
 Conrad Nagel as her leading man is emnently satisfactory, The wis dom of permitting Nagcl to return to comedy roles is definitely estab- lished by this picture. "The Waning Sex" is a picture that will he ap- preciated by everyone as their is a light strain of comedy that runs all the way through adn keeps everyone happy at all times.
