DE AUTREMONT TELLS IF SHAVING IF FOUR
 MEN DURING HOLDUP
RAY, ROY AND HUGH ARRIVE AT SALEM AND PLACED IN STATE
 PENITENTTARY

SALEM Or, June 24 (P)-The De Autremont brothers arrived from Jacksonville and entered the State penitentiary, where they will serve life sentences for the confessed kill ing of four men during the Siskiyou tunnel holdup.
 A large crowd gathered at the sta ton at Medford last night but there was no demonstration.
 As rected by Hugh, the crime had it's birth when Ray wa sin the Wash ington reformatory at Monroe, where he served a term for radical syndi- calism. The brothers plans were matured while working in a logging camp They went to Portland and purchased an automobile that figured in the evidence at Hugh's trial. The brothers first planned to hold up a bank, but being unable to find a bank to rob they decided to hold up train. Then began the preparations for Sis kiyou affair. They drove to the noun tains, and after studying train move ments for three days, decided to hold up the Shasta No 13.
 The night before all was ready said Hugh, "all of us were undecided but each was afraid to back out be cause he feared the others would say he had cold feet When the train came along we ran for the blind bag gage. I got on Roy dropped his gun and nearly missed the train. I held out a hand and helped him."
 The brothers crawled over the ten der and down into the cabin. As soon as the engine stopped they prepared to blow the mail car, but the clerk locked the door and refused to come out After three warnings, a dyna- mite charge exploded wrecking the car. After the explosion the broth CTS marched the fireman and enginee CT back to the train. The tunnel was full of smoke, and they saw a man com ing with a tusee Ray fired at him with a shotgun and he fell. Hugh forced the engineer to get back into his cab and draw the train from the smoky tunnel When the engineer fooled around" and failed to start the engine, Hugh got mad and shot him. Then Roy shot the fireman, said Hugh. The brothers then ran into the woods where they had a se- cret cache. In their flight toward the coast an airplane searching for them passed close while they hid be- meath tree. They were hungry and came near giving up, but continued until they reached logging camp. where Hugh stole beef. They passed many special agents and later sep arated

This meeting, the largest held
since the Realtors Forum was in
stituted, enthusiastically received the
practical and professional analysis
OF the subject which Mr., Luchs dis
ctIssed Real estate was pictured
as the most extensive and valuable
thing In the universe. and intro.

involves thousands of dollars. and
in many cases the home buyer parts

the most important transaction that
he probably has ever undertaken
and about which he is frequently
unfamiliar with his rights and obli-
cations.
Responsibility OF Firm
It is essentially important that
one holding out to the public his
services as a real estate broker or
salesman must be imbued with the
seriousness of the responsibility
that he assumes in practicing real
estate. This is one of the under
lying principles expressed in the
realtors code of ethics adopted by
the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards some years ago for the
guidance OF the individual members
Of its constituent boards.
After indicating the responsibility
of a real estate broker and salesman
to his client and the public, and

cation of the code OF ethics. Mr..

pefience as q successful salesman

1ner0 Is no uOuDJ, ne SalQ,
that many owners of commercial
properties are somewhat disquieted
by the fact that. the end of the
building boom has been definitely
reached. This is because their
thoughts are directed into new
channels. As long as rentable
space was being multiplied, the
natural viewpoint was that the de-
mand could not be met.
Z This naturally kept rentals on the
upward path With the cessation in
building and the public acceptance Of
the fact. there comes in a new psy-
chology. Tenants will begin to think
in terms OF lower rentals, and so will

ers. When that lower-rent conscious
ness begins to operate and it affects
the owners of properties, they will
begin to compete for tenants on the
basis of supply and demand, and that
assuredly means lowering rentals.
No Alarm Near
There is no reason in the situa.
ton as it exists for any general
alarm. We are not sufficiently over.
built to have a regular rate war in
rentals such as occurred more than
once prior to 1917.
But we are beyond the saturation
point; there is more of general pur.
pose space available than the mar.
ket can Immediately take up. This
means that this spring when bust,
ness leases are renewed, and next
october when residential leases are
renewed that there will be a rental
adjustment.
The question arises-Ilow can
this situation best be met? For ten.
ants, there is no worry. They lust
take advantage OF the swing of the
pendulum.
For owners. it behooves them ID
look at the facts from the new angle
TO realize that they are faced by .
conoltl0n, not theory, and to take
the obvious steps necessary to make
their position as secure as possible.

LIME improves
CONCRETE

Every builder recognizes the neces-
gity Of water-tight Easements, cellars
and floors. and every owner Of q
building or a home has right 10
demand water-tight structure. as
serts the National Lime Association
in explaining that water is one of
the worst enemies Of good concrete
construction.
Too much mixing water means
weak, porous concrete, and too great
a variation in the moisture content
OF the concrete after it has hardened
causes cracks, continues the state
ment Of the association, which adds:
The best way to make concrete
water tight is TO add hydrated lime
to the mix. 1t is also the cheapest
method: The results are permanent
and satisfactory in every respect.
No other material combines the
qualities of permanence and void fill
ing, with high workability and uni
formity, freedom from segregation
and cracking, high strength and
pleasing color.
Moisture Stresses
Engineers now know that the
stresses due to moisture variations
are greater than those due to tenn
perature. Hydrated lime keeps the
moisture content uniform, avoiding
internal stresses and cracking. It is
the standard waterproofing material.
Its use by leading architects, en-.
gineers and contractors throughout
the country testifies to its reliability
and continuing effectiveness. It's
cost is offset by the increase in
workability and the decrease in
handling expense.
While void filling is well enough.
as far as it goes, there must be no
porous areas like stone pockets,
bridges and honeyconbs. The addi-
ton of lime prevents them, for lime
makes concrete so workable that
every corner of the forms is sure to
be filled. All steel, even in the
most intricate reinforcing, is COM
pletely and uniformly imbedded in
dense and homogeneous concrete,
thereby preventing rust

crete and it flows down the chutes
in a uniform and stiff put plastic
mass, without clogging and without

the man at the mixer to flood the
concrete in order TO wash it down
the chute and into the forms.
