CHANGE IS MADE
IN REALTY COURSE
Text Books Will Supplement
Lectures at Y. NJ. C. A.
Night Class.

An entirely different procedure in
conducting the real estate course
which will begin in the Y. M. {. A.
night school under auspices of the
Washington Real Estate Board NO
vember l has been planned.
Heretofore the course has consisted
wholely of lectures by outstanding
men in the financial and real estate
business of the city. According to
James r. Schick. executive secretary
of the Real Estate Board, the new
plans call for the lecture system as
heretofore, but in addition thereto
text books on various real estate sub
iectS will be used. Students will be
required to attend the lectures and to
pursue a certain amount of reading
each week on the various subjects in
the curriculum.
Following the completion of the
course, as proper indication that the
full amount of reading has been done,
together with the record of the stu
dent during the various quiZzeS which
will be given, a certificate will be is
sued certifying that the successful
student has properly completed the
course.
A. II. Lawson has been appointed
chairman of the Real Estate Boards
forum committee, which will conduct
a series of lectures for the members
of the board. These lectures will be
arranged and given by competent
speakers, who will be selected for
their ability to impart to the real es
tate men technical information in re-
spect to the realty business and the
assets of the National Capital.

REALTY FIELD

The proposal of the unknown phi

10 minutes of downtown Washington
at $3.50 per room as disclosed by The
Star yesterday has caused consider
able comment In realty circles.
The general impression is that this
suggestion will go the way of similar
undertakings that have been unsuc-
cessful. Real estate men also say
that Government employees are not

COMMUNITY PICNIC
ArOusing Great Interest And
Will Be Huge Affair

The big picnic to be given at the
fairgrounds on Saturday, August 21,
under the auspices of all the city's
Improvement associations, and known
as the community picnic, is arousing
widespread interest, not only in Ham.
ilton but throughout the entire county.
1t is expected that the largest crowd
ever to attend picnic on the local
fairgrounds will be present on Satur-
day, August p.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-08-13

The livest hustlers of the various
improvement associations are serving
on the arrangements committee, so
that it is certain that nothing is being
left undone to make the huge affair
a big success in every way.
Amusements of all kinds will be
provided for the entertainment of the
thousands expected to attend. Good
music aplenty will .be there to keep
things livened up at all times. All
that is necessary for everyone to have
a good time on that day is to be
present.
1t must be remembered that the
community picnic is not money
making affair, but rather a get
together, get-acquainted affair. So,
for the good of the whole community
every person in it ought to make it
his or her business to be present at
some time of the day if only for an
hour or two. Better still, pack the
basket, gather the family together and
come out and make day of it.

TRADES UNIONS
May Increase Revenues
Through Investing in The
Union Labor Life
Insurance Co.

Trade unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor have
an opportunity to increase earnings
on their money and to aid an enter
prise approved by the A. F. of l..
and a part of the labor movement.
The Union Labor Life Insurance Com
pany offers that opportunity and
every union ought to take advantage
of it.
Trade unions at present place their
funds in banks where they earn be-
tween three and four per cent. BY
investing those funds in The Union
Labor Life Insurance Company, they
will enable the company to earn six
per cent for their money. Thus they
will materially increase the earnings
of their moneys.
Where trade unions now invest their
funds in banks at between three and
four per cent, they will aid the labor
movement in general by converting
those inves tments into shares of The
Union Labor Life Insurance Com
pany, thus helping labor to create
and operate it's own insurance COM
pany.
By becoming stockholders in this
company, trade unions also will come
into great financial union. Not only
will it be possible to provide insurance
for workers at lower cost than they
now are compelled to pay, but, with
ever-increasing reserves and general
financial resources, labor will be able
to and encourage housing projects and
other projects of value to the work
ers, freeing them in many directions
from present burdens and from usur-
ious practices.
A tremendous future looms before
The Union Labor Life Insurance
Company and every trade union which
joins in the purchase of stock in the
company will participate in that fu-
tGre. 1t is future of great self-help
and self-service, and of great help
and service to the whole labor move
ment. Every union that has not acted
should embrace the opportunity at
once.
