ADDRESS
CONCLUDES FORUM
Board Official Points Out
Washington Had First Spe-
cific Ethics Code.

The real estate forum at the Y. M
C. A. came to a close for this year this
week with an address by John A. Petty,
executive secretary of the Washington
Real Estate Board, who has acted as
chairman of the forum, in which he
declared that the local realtors asso-
citation was the first in the country to
adopt specific code of ethics.
Prior to 1921 members of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate Boards
for many years subscribed to an emu
meration of general principles OF prac-
tice based on the Golden Rule. AT the
time of the reorganization of the Wash
ington Real Estate Brokers Association,
predecessor of the Washington Real
Estate Board, in 1921, there was adopted
a definite code of ethics, he said.
This code set up group Of rules
to cover actual and specific tranSac-
tions, and it has embraced real estate
practice in such comprehensive man.
ner that there have been no amend
ments to it since its adoption" Mr..
Petty states. About three years after
its adoption the national association re-
vised its code of ethics and adopted a
national code for use of member boards
throughout the country, and this fol-
lows very closely the details of the code
drafted and in use by the Washington
board.
People buy, sell and mortgage homes,
purchase notes, lots and improve real
estate for much the same reasons.
They are actuated by the same mo-
tives. This being true, it was possible
to conceive fundamental manner in
which specific transactions and broker
activities could be covered universally
by standard ethics. While there is a
difference in real estate law in various
States, the method, conduct and ideals
or real estate men have been reduced
to specific terms in a manner that can
be used universally Basicly, the code
of realtors is the application in actual
business transactions of the Golden
Rule. 1t embraces the obligation and
responsibilities of broker in his con-
tact with his client and the public"

But Martin cut him short. THE two

me out of here"
But at the door, just before Conley
picked him up, he seemed to feel that
he had sighted Uncle william. Perhaps
he recognized a kindred spirit. "My
car is down here" he said, "You can
drive back with me to the Worcester if
you like"

Martin admitted that there wasn't
much to choose between them. But
they're both going to be good, now," he
concluded.

He didn't want Forster to agree to tell
| the truth about father. And, If he does
Uncle William will try to suppress it.
Why, Martin? Did he always hate
father?"
"He probably didn't like him too we'll
but that isn't the reason. He wants to
suppress the truth because it will show
that he made ghastly mistake. 1t isn't

rest of the plan worked out. It's some
thing for you to do. You can do it as
soon as Uncle william asks you how

out of Forster. I don't know how much
it will be, but it's sure to be plenty.

AMERICANS HELD POOR
JUDGES OF BUILDING
Know More About Motor Cars Than
They Do About Homes,
Is Claim.

Stating his belief that the American
people are better judges Of motor cars
than houses, James A. Taylor, acting
chief of the Division of Building and
Housing of the Department of Com
merce, recently said:
notwithstanding the fact that
American people have become better in
formed during the past few years as to
the points of good home, most Amer
leans are still much keener judges OF
motor cars than they are of houses.
"a man does not buy his car on the
basis of its upholstery; with limited
amount to spend he should not buy a
house principally because it has an cleo
trio button to open the cellar door, when
what a family really needs is COM
Portable, clean, attractive place to live"

But, Martin, will you do something

rather silly? After we've had dinner,

TOC)NTR(Q
SURPLUS
OF ALL
CROPS

A 81, 100000, 900 Government
cooperative, intended ulti.
mately to include every
farmer in America, empowered
to purchase all surplus crops,
authorized to seize the Ma
tion's processing, storage and
marketing facilities and
backed by a Government
pledge to pay all losses up to
5000, 900, 900.
This gigantic plan will be proposed
by Senator Smith w. Brookhart
(R.) of Iowa he announced today, as
a substitute for any other proposal
of farm relief submitted to Congress
at its special session, beginning
April Is, Brookhart defended his
plan as one certain to stabilize agri-
culture. He declared the Govern
ment would suffer no loss in the end.
Bill Ready
Brookhart already has drafted his
ate meets. 1t would create Farm.
ers' National Export Cooperative"
financed by an initial outlay OF
$3.50 ,O00, 900 from the Federal Treas
ury, A board of three directors
would operate the institution, with
specific authority to stabilize farm
prices and handle all surpluses.
The Iowa Senator pointed out that
:
istrator in wartimes, carried out q
similar plan in regard to wheat and
pork products.
Brookhart's own explanation Of
his bill follows:
Every one knows that the sur
plus depresses farm prices and that
farm prices are fixed by competitive
sale in the w0rld markets. We all
know manufactured articles are pro-
tected against this situation by the
tariff and patents. I propose to give
farm products similar protection.
I'VE must remove the surplus
from the American market to pre-
--ent price depression. That surplus
is valued at 1000 .000, 900 in the
world markets, of which the Amerl-
can farmers gel but $1,000, 900 900,
the rest going to the professors.
Our problem is to get the finances to
hold our surplus off the world mar
ket.
"In my bill, I estimate 1t viii take
81 ,5OO, 900 600 to handle all SURPRISES.
That much money may never be
used in any one year; certainly It
wouldn't be used in average years.
If we did need it, we would raise it
by hort-term Treasury notes.
"If we use public funds for thiG
purpose, the public is entitled to
know what it must pay for the crops
sold in this country. Therefore my
bill directs the Department of Agri.
culture to determine the average
cost of producing farm products.
Once this cost is determined, the
national cooperative wo4ld pay q
price Of cost plus per cent profit
for farm surpluses. This would
establish a fixed domestic price level
and the tariff would operate to pro-
tect thc. price level against foreign
imports.

SHR|EkS

Complete suppression of vexatious
heterodyne shrieks from Americas s
millions of radio speakers was
promised today by engineering ex-
perts of the Federal Radio Com
mission.
Regulations prepared for sub
mission to the commission provide
that broadeasting stations which
deviate more than so cycles from
their assigned frequencies will be
barred from the air. The present
rule requires that stations remain
within 500 cycles of the wave.
Until the filling of the two
vacancies on the commission by
President Hoover no action will be
taken on the new regulations. The
three members now functioning
have studied the plan and are said
to feel that it would be helpful in
eliminating one of the listeners
worst trials.
Heterodyning is present on so
of the 80 channels employed by
broadcasters. On the 40 cleared
channels there is interference
between stations not on the same
channel, known as 'cross talk but
no heterodyning.
Under present regulations a
station sets up heterodyne inter
ference with broadcasters on the
same channel 10 times the distance
within which its programs may be
picked up by receiving sets.

Private wires running to special

who is the embodiment of all the
good that there is in American
womanhood. They decided they
wanted to show TO the world the
girl who represents all that her
sisters are.

there will face the battery Of
judges selected by the Smart Set
magazine and the Hearst news
papers.
Hundreds Nominated
Hundreds Of girls all over the
country have been nominated for
the honor. Many of them possess
most of the qualifications. Perhaps
one Of them is the Typical Amer.
lean Girl.
Perhaps a girl who will be
nominated between now and the
close of the Quest will be selected.
That win lie entirely UP to the
judges who will, pick the local
representative.
All nominations in the Quest
must be sent to the Quest Editor
before the contest closes. Each of
the nominations will be passed on
by an impartial committee of
judges. The girl they choose as
the representative Of Washington
in the national selection will re-
ceive the trip to New York.
There a national committee of
selectors will pass on her Qualifi-
cations. This committee has in
dividually achieved fame as autho-
rity on the modern American
girl. Some OF them have for years
been attempting to discover the
type who is representative Of all
other girls. Thus far they have
been unsuccessful.
Five thousand dollars has been
deposited to the account of an un.
unknown girl Her name will not
be known until after April 1, when
she will be awarded the money for
triumphing in the Quest.

The Quest is not beauty contest,
it is not a movie or popularity con-
test. 1t is a whole hearted effort
