MEN AND MONEY
By NJ. S. Rukeyser.
(Copyright. 1927
After the real estate boom, what?

After the real estate boom, what?
Increasing numbers are shaking
their heads solemnly and warning
against the danger of overbuilding.
The lending companies-at least the
more prudent ones-are beginning to
pull in their horns.
Unquestionably, recent construction
has been abnormally rapid. and now
that the wartime shortages have
been made up the rate of building
may gradually decline. Already there
has been a moderate check in the
building Of actual buildings, in con-
tradistinction to other types of con-
struction activities.
And yet some Of the men closest to
the real estate situation assert that
the problem has ceased to be one Of
physical shortage. The optimistic
builders assert that they will continue
to erect new, modern and superior
buildings, which will be filed, and
that, If there is q surplus of space,
the older and more obsolete buildings
will suffer.
The curve of real estate does not
move uninterruptedly upward, but.
apart from temporary readjustments,
the growth of the country and the
increase in population are perpetually
working in favor of we'll selected real
estate.
Book Outstanding Bull.
J. B. Book, jr. Of Detroit is one of
the outstanding real estate bulls.
This wiry and dynamic man Of
thirty-six, who recently announced
plans for an S5-story office building,
believes that real estate is the back
bone of all values and that in the
future well selected real estate will
be even more profitable than in the
past. Mr. Book and his two younger
brothers inherited one Of the largest
family fortunes in Michigan, and can
afford to wait for long term results.
The speculative builder or holder
who depends on turnovers is in a less
happy position when intermediate re-
actions occur.
Mr.. Book has brown eyes, dark hair
and a brown stubby mustache. He
talks directly and candidly. He has
great faith in the future of Detroit
and thus far has seen his visions real
lied. He now says that in the future
the growth of the city will gain in
creasing momentum until it becomes

the second city of the country. 1t Is
now the fourth. Let Chicago and
Philadelphia beware.
Traffic congestion is the great mod
ern problem of cities, and 1t Is becom.
ing increasingly acute.
Would Build Taller Buildings.
Paradoxically enough, Mr.. Book be-
lieves that the way to relieve conges-
ton is to erect taller buildings in the
heart Of cities. The conventional view
Is that skyscrapers cause congestion.
Mr.. Book maintains that they relieve
it. His theory is based on the assump-
ton that IL you build structures high
enough a substantial fraction of the
city's business will be transacted
under one roof-that traffic will be
come vertical instead of horizontal.
The analogy works out in banks.
large part of the banking bust
ness of city does not go through the
clearing house, because checks are
drawn by one depositor of q bank in
favor of another depositor in the
same bank. According to Mr.. Books
notion. the elevators in the S0-story
Book Tower Building, on which work
will start in three or four months. will
get substantial amount of the traffic
that would otherwise go through the
streets, thus saving time. Mr.. Book
in this new building will further at
tempt to solve the traffic problem by
enabling tenants and visitors to check
their automobiles at the entrance. The
cars will be stored in "a stories Of
space in the center of the building.
Washington Boulevard Growth.
At the ago of rs Mr.. Book visualized
Washington Boulevard, which was
then a declasse residential section con-
sisting of cheap boarding houses, as
the foremost business thoroughfare Of
Detroit. Ut now-11 years later
makes claim to that distinction. While
continuing this development Mr.. Book
is launching another Development
residential one--in the Old Belle
Isle section, where he ultimately ex-
poets to erect $4,000 rooms.
Mr. Book inherited timber, ore and
urban real estate from his maternal
grandfather, and share in an equally
large estate from his father.
His father died before the son
the eldest Of three-was 26.
When young Book first revealed his
plans he was generally criticized as
wild-eyed and radical.
So far he has made good, and he
expects to become the largest real es-
tate operator in the country.
He is an interesting individual, who
is worth watching.

Compared to Ku Klux
Khan by Boston Judge

George w. Anderson likened the tao
tics of the immigration department
to those of the Ku Klux Khan when
he rebuked federal officers during a
hearing today in the case of Moy All
Lin, a former Back Bay laundryman,
fighting deportation to his native
China.
The rebuke was delivered by Judge
Anderson following testimony that
the raid in which the Chinese was ar
rested was made upon his premises
without warrant.
Scoring the immigration inspectors
Judge Anderson said: at shows no
more law than in a Ku Klux Khan
raid. Maybe government can be
carried on faithfully by people who

mentals of constitutional liberty which
we supposed we had established $50

Bring In the Shekals
By Selling Gals Nails

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Work-
men engaged in repairing the White
House have struck upon a move
scheme for increasing their weekly
stipend. They sell nails from the
job to tourists at four for 81:
With the nails from the old part of
the structure, the tourists receive an
and intriguing story of
their historical background. The
nails are claimed by the carpenters
to be more than 100 years old and
of the old handmade variety i'm
ported from England before nail
making thrived in its own right in
the United States.
The black spots on the nails are
explained by the fact that the White
House was destroyed by the British
fire in 1914. Some of the workmen
have built up lucrative business

Though the boycott forms one

Negroes Protest
To Coolidge on
Army Color Ban

WASHINGTON-(FP) - Sessions
of the annual Race Congress of
American Negroes have begun in a
church in Washington, with discussion
of political and economic problems of
the race in this country. Perry
Howard, republican national COM
mitteeman from Mississippi and an
assistant in the office of Atty. Gen.
Sargent, was one of the first days
speakers. Howard has been accused
hv Mississippi congressman, in spec
ches in the House. of offering for sale
to the highest bidder the appointment
of federal district attorney in that
state. These charges were substan-
TALLY upheld by special investigators
for the Department, but Howard held
his job in Washington.
Worry Over Blacks
Delegates to the race congress were
disturbed, on the opening day, by the
incident of the barring of a Negro
from the Citizens Military Training
Camp in the New York area. Their
feeling was not diminished by the
publication of letter by a Negro
editor in New York to President Cool
idge. denouncing this action by an
army officer as a wanton insult to
the race.
"For the u. S. Army to draw this
color line against colored boys any
where is not only hideous outrage
but wantonly unjust" this letter
signed by Geo. w. Harris read. "The
nation is putting rancors in the YES
sells of its peace when it proclaims
this monstrous policy against the
coming colored generation. We can
say to the nation very frankly that
this they will not stand for.
