"FREE-LOT" SCHEME
HIT BY STATE BODY
Michigan Securities Commission to
Cite Licensed Realtors Who
Use It in Sales.

An order just issued by the Michigan
Securities Commission indicates its
opinion of what is commonly called the
"free lot scheme" for promoting real
estate sales, a device which has been
emphatically condemned by the Wash
ington Real Estate Board.
The Michigan commission which ad-
ministers the Michigan real estate Ii
cense law, has issued the following
order:
1T is hereby ordered that any IL
censed real estate brokers or real
estate statesmen practicing in this State
what is commonly called the free lot
scheme" are to be cited before this COM
mission to show cause why their licenses
should not be revoked"
The penal law of the State of New
York utterly forbids use of the free
lot scheme in selling real estate, ac-
cording to an opinion given by Albert
Ottinger, attorney general, In letter
to A. c. MacNulty deputy secretary Of
state. in charge of the administration

CHAIN MOVEMENT
GROWTH IS SHOWN
Revised Edition of Directory
Shows 18-Month Gain
of 4,278 Stores.

Rapid recent growth of the chain
store movement is indicated in a list
Of existing chains, to be included in a
revised edition of the chain store di-
rectory published jointly by the brokers
division and property management di-
vision of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards as service TO
members
The revised edition of the directory
will be rea6ty for distribution In Janu-
airy. It furnishes to the members of
these divisions a confidential list of
chain store organizations with the ad-
dress of their headquarters ONCE in
each case.
The revised edition will carry the
addresses of 9,18i chains, representing
36 different lines of business. The
earlier edition of the directory, COM
piled in May 1927, contained the names
of 4,903 chains, in 80 separate lines of
business.
While the increase In the number of
chains listed Is due in part to the fact
that information on the chain store
movement has become more complete,
nevertheless the enlargement almost a
doubling OF the number included in the
list complied 18 months ago, is q re-
Election chiefly of the rapid growth in
the number Of chains and in the num-
Der Of stores within the chains.
Consultations which have taken
place, as well as births and deaths in
the chain store movement, have made
necessary the preparation of revised
list
The directory is being published in
the S12x1l booklet. punched for a
binder. A copy will be mailed upon
publication, free Of cost, to every mem
Der of the brokers division and the
property management division for the

PAINT HANGS ON WOOD.
Authorities Doubt That Fluid
Readily Adheres.

Laboratory authorities claim there IS
good reason for believing paint does not
really adhere to wood, at least after the
paint has dried out thoroughly, but that
it hangs on chiefly by gaining mechan-
ical grips in minute openings in the
surface of the wood.
The degree of 'paintability' of Ger
tain woods depends upon whether the
openings are few or numerous, small or
large. The effect of wood grain on
paint tenacity is noticeable on wood
having wide annual growth rings and
in which there is a sharp contrast be-
tween Spring wood and Summer wood
The Summer wood is much denser
than the Spring wood, so that paint
scales of the former more quickly. The
laboratory report states that If some
way were found to make paint adhere
better to wood, the durability Of paint
on all woods would likely be improved
and that the differences in their paint
ing characteristics would largely disap-

ness Rise.

Construction costs have risen to the
highest plane they have occupied at
any time during the past 80 months,
according to statistics just compiled
by the Associated General Contractors
of America. october was the third sue
.ceSsive month to witness a rise in the
cost average. The record for the
elapsed portion of 1928 shows but one
decline, Four rises are indicated as
having taken place since January.
The first increase during this year
occurred last June, breaking a success
sion of decreases that had been regis
tered at regular intervals since Mid
summer of 1927.
Double 1913 Average. .t
"The average of construction COSTS"
the report states, now is slightly more
than double the average recorded in
1913. The average for the first 10
months of 1928 is slightly below the fig
ure registered for the corresponding
period of last year, low-cost era
during the opening months of the cur
rent year having served to Offset the
effect which recent rises have had up
on the 10-month average.
THE increase noted In October is
attributed to higher prices commanded
by basic construction materials during
that month, the third In succession to
witness an increase.
Two Changes This Year.
''The wage situation continued to
give every indication of "a stabilized
condition. presenting an average show
ing no change from that held by the

June and a counterbalancing increase
asserting itself in September.

: The official averages for 1927 in
the National league put Chick Hafey,
the boy who was raZzed during the
1926 world series, at the tip Of the
list of sluggers. The Cardinal out
fielder came to bat 246 times and
whaled out a total of 204 bases for
a $50 average. He drove in s.
runs.
Hafey broke into the st. Louis
lineup in 1925 when Ray Blades was
forced from the game. His perform
ance was fair enough until the time
OF the series between the Cardinals
and the Giants in which Chick had
a hard time fielding the ball. He
made no errors for the series, how
ever, and had 81 put outs and one
assist, but the big squak came in
the ninth inning Of the fifth game
when Gerig. first up. hit a two-bag-
ger in Hafey's territory and later
scored the winning run on Paschals
Texas Lacquer. Chick was razzed un-
mercifully and nothing less than his
scalp was demanded by the fans.
They were generally agreed that
Hafey had plenty OF time to get
under Gehrig's hit and should have
caught it easily.
Even part OF last season the fans
showed their resentment when Hafey
was sent to the outfield. But when
he started banging out n extra
base hit after another things began
to change a little. They're all for
him now.
Hornsby made a total of 333 bases,
but was at bat SOS times.
