members of the class. Mr.. SchiCk
introduced the speaker of the first
session.
Mr.. Whiteford in his lecture traced
the history and development of real
estate from it's earliest stages to the
present. There is a distinction he
tween business and a profession. he
said, inasmuch as the practice of
profession is concerned with an effort
for public good as well as for personal
gain. He urged that all persons en-
gagged in real estate business interest
themselves not merely in making ma
terial gain but in rendering to their
clients and to the public intelligent,
efficient and honest service.

basically is the result of the trend of
development of human society. Trac-
ing the situation in respect to real
estate today as evolving directly from
conditions starting with the ideas and
customs of nOmadic tribes. Mr.. White
ford pointed out that when these
wandering families of humans finally
settled down on lands they felt desir-
able, ownership became known be-
cause of occupancy. and occupa ncy
was regarded as the indication of own

Once It was felt that the heirs of
the occupants of the property natural.

owners following the death of the lead

out. with the constant development of
customs. the occupant was considered
to have title to the land and still later
the idea of occupancy was discarded
and the theory of title ownership of
land brought about in various ways,
including purchase.

Singing at Work

The man who sings while he is toll
ing has won a wide and fair renown;
some authors keep the pot a-boiling by
writing all his triumphs down. He
always pleases well his bosses, who
raise his wages twice a week, and in
a world of total losses he climbs up to
the shining peak. He sets example to
the others, who oft are sore and
grouchy wights; he MARBLES to them,
Come, my brothers, ascend with me
the gaudy heights" They are inspired
to fresh endeavor, they hear, and hope
he will not stop; they quit their idle
ways forever, and make things hum
around the shop. Now this viii do in
sunshine fables, but in our lives it
works out wrong, though scribes may
still, at creaking tables, write out the
high results of song. The man who
sings while he is working, who sings
in time with buoyant tread, will short
ly find his fellows jerking half bricks
and inkstands at his head. The
nerves of men who earn their living
by honest toll are faulty strung; those
men will all be slow forgiving the man
who sings with tireless tongue. Oh,
he will sing his old songs over a thou
sand times until they're stale, he'll
MARBLE lays of bees and clover and
churchyards in the moonlight pale.
When they want jazz he'll give them
dirges, when they are sad he will be
gay: and in the hearts of all there
surges a wrath that's mounting day
by day. And then some day the happy
singer will come down stairs upon his
spine; the cheerful one, the joyous
bringer of helpful ballads, line by line.

BERLIN. March 22.-Opposition to
any possible return Of former En-
peror Wilhelm to Germany was ex-
pressed In the Reichstag yesterday in
statements by the Centrists, Demo
Gratis and Social Democrats.
The statements Were made during
discussion on the prolongation of the
law exiting the former Kaiser, which
expires on July /.
''NO Room in Germany"
'I4et the ex-Kaiser stay outside;
there isn't room for him in Germany"
was the brief expression of the Social
Democrats.
The Centrists, Of which Chancellor
Marx is a member, declared that the
former kaiser's possible return was
not likely to disturb the republican
form of government, but that it prob
ably would have vital foreign political
significance. The party hoped the eX-
monarch's advisers had tact enough to
spare the German people from the vio-
lent disorders which such plan would
be likely to create.
For Internal Peace.
mot for foreign political reasons,
but for the sake of internal peace, the
state is not justified in allowing the
head of the former state to return to
Germany, there to become an object of
revolutionary demonstrations" the
Democrats said.

who told the Reichstag on March IS
that the cabinet would soon announce
it's stand regarding the extension of
the exile problem. made no reply to the
various statements.

Cites Aid to County.

Mr.. Eaton stated that while the
Salvation Army has never been APP
preached regarding cooperation in
relief work in the county, it has re-
lieved much need and suffering on its
own initiative. He pointed out that
each day numbers of men apply to
the Alexandria headquarters for aid,
many of whom If they were not taken
care of by the Army would become
public charges of the county. These
men, after being given a meal and
car fare, he said, are sent to the in
dustrial home in Washington.
"In doing this the army is not only
saving the county about $4,000 a
year, but is clearing from its con-
fines men who might be undesirable
citizens" he said.
A copy of the resolution was ordered
sent to the meeting of the Welfare
Board of the county, which convenes
at the cour thouse Wednesday night.

Requests For Money
to Construct Bridges
Always Bring Fights

Although the twentieth legislative
session has been notable for peace
and harmony in comparison with the
bitter feuds of the last 10 years or
even the fights Of the old "Stalwart''
days there is one particular subject
which can always raise full fledged
row on short notice.
The subject is bridge appropria-
tions. Bills carrying appropriations
for bridges are referred to the COM
mittees on highways and bridges be-
cause the bridge fund is not subject
to budget control. Since most bridges
are built with federal aid and con-
tributi0n of county money, a $35, 700
appropriation by the state becomes
the nucleus for q structure costing
$1O0,OO Although demands for
bridge money have been comparative
ly light at this session and passage Of
all bridge appropriations now in sight
will leave balance in the fund, the
way is being paved for determined
assault at the next session.
Appropriations for soundings at
three points along the Missouri river
in Mclean county are regarded as the
forerunners Of requests for big con-
struction appropriations two years
from now.
The bills carving $4,000 each for
soundings at Elbowoods and near
Garrison and Washburn already have
passed the house and favorable action
js expected in the senate.

CANTONESE
PARTY SPLIT
is FORECAST
Observers at Washington At
taeh Great Significance
to the Reports

Washington. Feb. ll.-LP).-Indica-
tions of an impending split in the
Cantonese nationalist party, with
the conservative and radical wings
drawing farther and farther apart,
are contained in official advices re-
ceived from China both by the gov
crnment and by interested diplo-
matte circles. Observers here at
tach great significance to these re-
ports, although they are not com
plete enough to furnish clear
picture of the internal situation in
the party.
In some diplomatic circles. the be-
lief is expressed that ultimately
conservative control Of the nation
alist party will be established, to be
followed possibly by an understands
ing between Chang Kia-Shek, Can
tonese war lord. and some members
Of the alliance of northern Tuchuns
in which Chang Tso-Lin is now the
dominating figure.
Much depends, it is said, on the
extent to which the two chief lead
crs in the Peking and central China
areas, Chang Tso-Lin and WI Pei-Fu
are able to trust each other in an
attempt to recapture Hankow fron,
the Cantonese, moving down the
line Of the Peking- Hankow railway
from the Hwang- Ho,l or Yellow river
front, where the rival northern and
southern armies now face each 9th
er. Wu's troops hold the western
side of the sector and are also along
the river front with troops of
Chang Tso-Lin, commanded by the
son of the Manchurian war lord, next
in line to the eastward.
Cause Of the Delay
Delay in pressing southwark to-
ward Hankow is believed to be due
to unwillingness Of Chang's forces
to advance with Wu's troop, on
their flank, unassured that the
two leaders have patched up an en-
during peace to remove danger due
to their former bitter rivalry that
repeatedly deluged northern China
in bloodshed.
If complete cooperation between
Chang and WI is assumed, military
experts in Washington personally
familiar with Chinese conditions be
lieve Hankow and probably Wuchany,
across the Yangtze river, could b.
recaptured from the Cantonese, as
the northern forces are superior in
numbers, equipment and battle ex-
perience and have better and short
er lines of communication. They 90
not believed, however, that the north
ern forces could proceed any furth-
er southwark than the general
Yangtze line, owing to local hostili-
ty certain to be encountered in the
southern provinces.
The Chekiang province situation. it
is said, seems to be secure for the
moment against further Cantonese
advances toward Shanghai.
