Rigid requirements assure com.
potency and skill in the practice of
medicine. Because of its intimate
relation to the welfare and well.
being Of the people the practice of
real estae should be surrounded by
reasonable Safeguards.
With the enactment into law of
the proposed real estate license
measure definite machinery would
be created to regulate the Issuance
Of licenses to practice real. estate
and to supervise the acts of licensees.
A commission operating with legal
powers would be available to the
public and individuals could seek
this governmental agency for pro
lection and redress should their ex.
periences justify such help.
Those sponsoring this legislation
have framed 1t with the idea of
providing the maximum protection

Think Ahead Before
You Build For
Style

II You are interested in the
general appearance Of your home
several years from now you win
be interested in brass fittings
throughout. Brass hardware will
not rust nor noticably mar with
constant and continued use. It
can be depended upon to hold It's
lustre and remain serviceable for
q long, long time.
Brass hardware fits nicely into
any decorative scheme. It's a
true "patrician" and adds charm
wherever It may be, whether EN-.
ployed in the door knobs, regis
ters. various lift-chains or what
not. As a knocker on the Colonial
type home It fills a need that
nothing else can fill quite so
distinctively.
On the market today there Is.
however. variety Of brass
plated fittings that must be
avoided IL durability is desired for
a thin plating will not keep rust
from affecting the base metal
underneath. BY taking an ordi.
nary magnet and touching It to
the fittings you can easily deter
mine il they are plated or not.
II the fitting Is affected by the
magnet YOU may rest assured
that 1t is plated or the magnet

CINEMA PIPE ORGANISE
HAS NEVER SEEN MOVIE
Blind Since Birth, He Plays in
Harmony With Action.
Aided by Nephew.

LOS ANGELES up. Allen Spur.
pipe organist for a cinema theater here.
has never seen movie. Although blind
since birth, he plays music in harmony
with the action Of the screen with the
aid of Don Spur. his 16-year-o
nephew.
Don sits beside the console and
watches the screen. He speaks in a
low voice to his uncle: THE villain is
starting his speed boat he is gain
ing now yacht comes between
them the hero FORCES ahead"
Wierd notes come from the organ and
in quick tempo
Or Don may say: TITS a love scene
he puts his arm about her
her lips seem TO whisper" Then Allen
Spur plays the soft, vibrant music of
romance.
The blind organist began with a vio-
lin and piano as a boy A friend
would play tune over and over until
Spur learned it by ear. Later he used
monograph records. Now he sits by
hours before his radio. He first plays
an air on his violin then he works out
the harmony on the piano.

ICE BOX FREEZES
BRICKS AND CEMENT
White Porcelain Refrigerator of
Rare Facility Installed at
Rensselaer, Institute.

TROY. N. Y. Op).-A white porce-
lain refrigerator of conservative house.
hold model, but designed to freeze con-
crete. bricks and other inedibles. has
just been installed at Rensselaer, Poly
technic Institute.
It's first use will be to give some
blocks OF concrete the equivalent OF
many years aging, all within a Few
months 1t has the capacity to out
strip Texas norther and to crack down
in a little more than an hour from
Summer heat to eight degrees below
zero. At low temperatures moisture In
some concrete and other building ma
terialS freezes. with disintegrating ef-
fects that become annoying after
few years.
With the new icebox. Prof. Thomas
r. Lawson. head of the department OF
civil engineering. will produce the
equivalent of a years cycle each "a
hours. Delicate thermocouples in the
interior OF each sample will register
temperatures in the very heart OF the
material. showing effects of anything
from the equivalent of a frost TO a
blizzard.
These experiments are part OF an ex-
tensive research at Rensselaer, to find
means of making building materials
more nearly everlasting. The cracking
and crumbling OF concrete. Prof. Law
son says, is due to the fact that it con-
tains moisture that causes 1t to swell
slightly in wet seasons and to contract
in long. dry spells. Among the Rens-
salaer experiments are studies in water
prooflng and in making concrete suf-
flciently dense to exclude most Of the
dampneSs.
After concrete, will come experiments
on bricks. which for thousands of years
have been shortening their possibilities
OF durability by absorbing too much
moisture in wet seasons.
