ton to addressing local realtors on the
work of the national body in elevating
business standards and the effect avi-
alton is having on real estate, strongly
urged enactment of a real estate license
law for the District.
Washington, for its own good, should
fall in line with the q States which
have enacted laws for the licensing of
brokers and real estate statesmen, pro-
viding a positive check on the opera

The local board has proposed enact
ment of the model license law as
sponsored by the national association,
with some notifications Suiting it to
local conditions, but as yet it has not
come up for conclusive action in

Randolph Leigh Will
Occupy Dwelling IN
Fairfax County.
COLONNADED FRONT
PORCH IS FEATURE
Arrangement Was Studied
to Take Advantage of
Extensive View.

A new house fashioned after popu-
lar old style is being erected on farm
of about 60 acres located in Fairfax
County, Va, about a mile from Chain
Bridge, recently acquired as the future
residence of Randolph Leigh, director of
the National Oratorical Contest.
The old farmhouse that formerly
stood on the site, built in Colonial days,
was situated on knoll of ground about
a quarter of mile from the Fairfax
road and commanded view that was
practically a complete cyclorama, most
of which was included in the boundaries
of the farm.
The new dwelling, large Colonial
structure featured by rooms of COM
modiousness and great colonnaded
front porch, is being erected on part of
the foundations of the old farmhouse
and will have its same outlook on the
varied landscape of the extensive
acreage.
Simple Design Decided Upon.
Inasmuch as the house will be
viewed from distance, design of ut
most simplicity and directness was de-
cided upon. The motive of two-story
colonnade was selected. Mount Vernon

similar situation.
AS designed by Robert F. Beresford.
Washington architect, the details OF the
finish of the new house are being exc
c1ted in a manner characteristic OF the
Colonial Virginia architecture.
The arrangement of the plan OF the
house was studied especially to take
advantage of the extensive view. The
plan also is in keeping with the IRA
ditions of Colonial Virginia.
The entrance hall Is broad and long:
The staircase is generous in width ana
affords easy ascent. The rooms are
similar in proportions to those of Colo
NAL dwellings. The four bedrooms on
the second floor are each of sufficient
size for all furniture required without
crowding. Ample closet space is pro-
vided on the second floor and in the
attic. There is a servants room and

"Nobody" Has Rights
 In English Property

London, oct. 22 GPl-"Nobody" has property rights that are respected in England.
 Every now and then the efforts of county authorities to acquire piece Of land for public purposes disclose that the land is owned by ''nobody."
 Two plots near Hampton Court re- gently were discovered to be such mo mans land" when the Surrey county council tried to buy them, and similar eases have turned up in the older and poorer parts of Lon don.
 The usual procedure is to have such land valued by a diSintcrested person and the money paid into court by the county council or incor- poratcd town. Then if ''nobody' ever shows up he can collect his money, knowing that his rights were looked after while hc was gone.

WOMAN CONFESSES
 ROBBERY MISTAKE
Wife Staged Hold
 up to Pay Gambling Debt

Chicago, Oct. 22 [Pl-Thc holdup last February in which Mrs. Edwin C. Price reported the loss of $1S,OOO in furs and jewels, had resulted to- day in her arrest and in the arrest of four men she named as having conspired with her to defraud an insurance company.
 Mrs. Price, 3S-year-old wife Of an elderly millionaire manufacturer confessed to states attorneys last night that the hold-up was a sham, they said. She resorted 10 it, she said. to concel a gambling debt from her husband.
 The plot was conceived, she stated, bv Morris A. Barnett to whom she confided her gambling debt dilemma. The loot was disposed of, the states attorney was told, by Max Krakow, a manufacturing jeweler. The ac- tual robbers" Mrs. Price said, were Jack Baum and Ben Levin.
 Mrs. Price said that Barnett sug- gested that she insure her jewels and furs for the sum required to meet her debts and that he would arrange to have her robbed" and also would arrange disposal of the loot.
 The "robbery" was accomplished in the late afternoon of February 25 as Mrs Price was leaving dress shon on Goethe street. Two mcr stripped her of her jewels and fur: and drove away as she rushed back into the shop to telephone police.

0'BR|EN DIRECTOR
 OF STREET DEPT,
Appointed to Succeed FaSelle by
 Public Works Board

Joseph NJ. O'Brien of 1910 Stanley street was appointed uperintendent of streets to succeed Eugene Fasellc at a meeting of the board of public works which took place in city hall last night
 The appointment of MT. O'Brien came as a surprise at the end of the meeting. His name was propos- ed by John Pagan, and, with but little discussion, he was named to the post.
 "Mr. O'Brien has had nine years experience, and at the present time he is in business for himself" MT. Pagan declared He is also eXper- fenced in all branches of the city service, having worked for the board of public works. He is the best man I can think of for the job.
 We must appoint a superinten- dent of streets as soon as possible. Winter is coming on, and it is more than likely that the street superin- tendent will have tn look over his force of laborerS, as not so many will be carried on the payroll during the cold months. The sooner We do this thing, the better 1t will be. l strongly recommend the appoint ment of Mir. OBrien."
 All members of the board were unanimous in their approval of MT. Fagan'S candidate. With little dis cussion, Mr. Pagan put his reCom- mendation into the form of motion and it was carried.
 Elm Street Garage Petition Granted Attorney Charles W. Tamulonis represented the opposition to the erection of a filling station at the Elm Street Garage.
 Several property owners appeared and said that the street was too mar row to accommodate another gaso- line station; that the hill at the Win i ter street intersection was another ! menace to safe driving; and that l fenChes on both sides of the mar row street were more than 10 feet high.

tion of whether or not the opposing parties run gasoline stations.
 At the discussion which followed the attorneys presentation Of the case, members of the board found it impossible to see how this gasoline station would create more accidents along the street. The garage has been there for years. But they did agree the city should widen the corner of Elm and Winter streets. When a motion was made by John Faga, the petition was granted.
 Station to Replace S12,O00 House
 $. Ginsburg will tear down a house valued at $12,000 when he erects a gasoline station at 19 Wal nut street, since the board last night granted him permit for a three pump station. The property is 66 by 150 feet, and shop, 20 to 20 feet is at the rear of the property If MT. Ginsberg will tear down the house, the board is willing that a gasoline station be erected. In presenting his cause, MT. Ginsberg said that there were park ling grounds and auto laundries nearby, and that the business on the street justifes the erection of the station.
 i Numerous small matters came up before the board and most were passed on fayorably. Last night it was decided to inspect curbs and crosswalks at the corner of East street and Newington avenue; to curb and sidewalk East street from Florence street to East Main street; 10 repair Carmody street; to raise the corner of Winthrop and Vance streets; to put street lights on Gold en Hill street and to install a street light on the south side of East Main street, about 100 feet from Main street.
 Rumblngs of defective work done back in 1923 were heard when a letter from a property own CT at II West street in which he claims that sidewalks installed in October. 1928, are defective. The matter was referred 10 the corpora ton council for adjustment.
 Glen Street Dump Objectionable
 A letter from the mayor, calling attention to the condition of the Glen street dump also was read al the meeting, and as a result of the discussion, the newly appointed superintendent of streets will bt asked to improve conditions. Tho mayor charges that many people have written to him saying tha
 papers from the dump were flying around on the sidewalks, and tha
