discussion of an address by Oliver s..

the losses large cities are experiencing

In championing promotion of ethical
practices and direct services to the pub
lie as the principal object of a real
estate board, Secretary Petty OF the
washington Board said this morning.
Petty Makes Appeal.
while there may be quite a variety
of aims and purposes set UP by the 600
boards affiliated with the national asso-
ciation, the great majority of them CEN
ter around one primary and fundamen-
tai aim. This predominant aim is the
elevation of the real estate business to a
high plane bringing real estate practice
nearer the professional status which its
seriousness and Importance justify.
Broadly speaking, real estate board
should to the extent of its ability ear
nestly engage in any activity which will
tend to make it possible for individual
realtors to render more intelligent, eff
cient and honorable service to their
clients and the public.
TO the average layman, methods and
procedure as well as customs and prac-
tices in connection with the purchase,
sale, leasing and mortgaging of real
estate are complicated and fraught with
uncertainty and doubt A real estate
board can render personal service to
the public by holding out to every one
the opportunity of obtaining from it
advice and information pertaining to
any real estate problem. When a service
OF this character is made available the
public becomes familiar with the fact
that tremendous amount of valuable
assistance can be rendered, particularly
In guarding investors against unworthy
persons operating in the real estate
field"
Mr.. Petty then outlined numerous
activities which realty board could
well undertake, both as a service to its
members and the public.
Breaches Farm Land Evil.
Widening the range of prospective
purchasers for given farm through ad-
vertising and through cooperation
among farm lands brokers is the COM
nonsense remedy for present roarket
Ills for farm lands, according to Rich
ard Potts of Frederick, Md, who out
lined today before the farm lands di-
vision a plan for intrastate cooperation
between farm lands brokers in the plac-
ing OF farms before the prospective

$25, 900 GIVEN PROBE.

BOSTON, June 81 GP).-Trustees of
the Twentieth Century Fund announced
yesterday that they had voted to give
$4,000 to the international labor Office
of the League of Nations to help finance
an international investigation of the
cost of living and wages.
Their action was prompted by the
recent request by the Ford Motor Co.
for data on which to equalize the pur-
chasing power of its employees in all
countries. Edward A. Filene of Boston,
president of the fund, recommended
the gift and offered to give S25, 900 per-
sona1ly If the trustees of the fund did
not do so.

its attendant wave Of speculation which
swept the country from 1915 to 1921 is
q vivid page of real history" Mr.. Potts
said. Farm brokers Offices were be-
sieged by hordes of eager buyers at
prices far beyond intrinsic values. At
the present time, added to the inevita-
BILE postwar defiation, there is increas-
ing pressure from banks and insurance
companies for reduction of loans. This
at the present moment is helping fur
ther to demoralize the farm lands mar
ket in scramble to salvage a part of
the wreckage on the auction block"
Statewide multiple listing of farm
lands was proposed by Mr.. Potts. The
plan would mean that through close
cooperation of farm land brokers in
given State a farm listed for sale in
any one locality would be placed before
prospective purchasers in other parts
of the State, or, for that matter, in
other States,

BY DON S. WARREN.
Staff Correspondent of The Star.


BOSTON, Mass, June 27.-The cul-
ture, beauty, refinement and residential
advantages of the District of Columbia
will be described eloquently to the 1900
realtor delegates attending the conven-
ton of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards here this evening, when
w. Cameron Burton, Washington's
spokesman, makes bid with other well
primed hometown boosters in the an
nual five-nninute speaking contest.
The home town oratory event will
come at the close of the third day OF
the convention, which is filled with a
long series of discussions and studies of
projects and problems before the Ma
tion's realtors. Washington realtors, to-
gether with delegates from other boards,
today heard scores of educational lee
lures by outstanding realtors, other
business leaders and Government offl-
cials on questions of real estate finance,
building, property management, COM
munity planning. brokerage and subdi-
vision work in sectional meetings, which
will be continued tomorrow. The con-
vention ends with a business session,
banquet and farewell dance tomorrow
evening.
Urges Professional View.
John A. Petty, secretary of Wash
ington Real Estate Board, in an address
before the secretaries division this
morning, declared that while realty
board may conduct a wide range of ac-
tivities to advantage and benefit, the
predominant aim and purpose is eleva-
ton of real estate business to higher
plane of ideal practice and the profess
sional status which its seriousness and
Importance justify.
Members of the Washington delega-
ton last night were the guests of Nor
ris Cafritz, convention chairman for
the District, at dinner at the West
minister Hotel, the principal social event
for the Washingtonians as party.
William Gibbs McAdoo, former Secre-
tary of the Treasury and now head of
Southern Skylines, Inc, will address the
realtors tomorrow evening on aviation
and its effect on real estate, at BAN
quet for officers and directors of the ma
tional association and presidents of local
boards.
Change Is Sought.
Action to break up the annual or
semi-annual wholesale moving season of
apartment tenants, with their attendant
confusion, economic waste and disturb
ing concomitants, was taken formally
by the property management division,
in which Washington realtors particle
pated, yesterday afternoon, when
resolution was adopted placing the divi-
sion on record as favoring 12-rental
seasons a year for apartment buildings.
Washington is quite familiar with the
problems that result from the prevailing
practice in the National Capital and
most other large cities of annual apart
n1ent leases ending simultaneously in
wholesale fashion in the Spring and
FAN. Some cities have solved this prob
lem by staggering leasing periods
throughout the year. This is the plan
now recommended by the property
management division of the national
body.
The resolution was adopted following

yesterday by the Secretary of War.
No designations have been received

HOOVER UNDECIDED
. ON UTILITIES AIDES
Successors to Childress and
Brand Not Yet Named
by President.

President Hoover has not yet reached
decision in the matter Of q sue
cessor to Col. Harrison Brand, whose
term as member Of the Public Utilities
Commission expired more than month
ago, or to John Childress, who has
rendered his resignation as a member
of the commission. The President has
given considerable attention to the mat
ter, and it has been said In his behalf
that he hopes to be able to make one,
If not both. of these appointments very
shortly.
Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty
was at the White House today and
conferred with Lawrence Richey, one
of the Presidents secretaries, regarding
these appointments. The Commissioner
said afterward that his call had to do
with the Public Utilities Commission
personnel, but declined to say whether
his opinion regarding one or more of
the persons recommended for these
places was sought, or whether he per-
sonally was at the White House urging
the appointment Of one or more indi-
vidualS.
