LAW PROTECTS
NAME 'REALT0R'
Revised Oregon Real Estate
License Law First to Rec
ognize Correct Usage Of
Term 'ReaItor.'

The correct use of the term
'Realtor" has been recognized in
a law in the state of Oregon.
/ Heretofore court decisions and
real estate commissions have up
held the National Association of
Real Estate Boards in the claim
of exclusive right to the term to
mean an active member of o con-
stituent beard, but Oregon is the
first state to define the term in a
law.
AT its latest session the Oregon
legislature passed revisions to the
state real estate license act in order
to give the public better protection
against irresponsible and incompe-
tent brokers. Section 81 Of the re-
Vised license law definitely states
that use OF the term "Realtor'
by cne not a member of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards may be cause for suspen-
sion, cancellation or revocation Of
license to act as real estate broker
or salesman in the state of Ore
gon The revised act is effective
January /, 1890.
Commissioners Ruled
Against Misuse
Such action is in line with the
stand taken by the Oregon real
estate commissioner, Claire Lee,
who, in 1927, ruled that persons
misusing the term ''Realtor." which
should be used only to designate
active members Of constituent
board Of the National Association, f
were guilty Of fraud and would be .
denied renewal CT license. Com {
missioner Lees ruling was based .

that lie term "RealtDr" 'nHpt6e .
board membership and pI2iges the
individual using it to conduct his
business in accordance with the
code of ethics Of the National AS
sociation CT Real Estate Boards.
similar to that Of the Ore
gon commissioner have been made
by the license law commissioners
Of the New jersey. New YORK and
Twelve court decisions
have been handed down uphClding

claim OF exclusive right to the use
Of the term "Realtor." The bill

the town was wiped out, and all its
people.
"She didn't wait for anybody" the
second mate gasped, hoping that Tin
Eye might follow her example. The
grim old mate was muttering to him.
self
go tell the steward to look after
Capt. Chandler, that he doesn't stifle
in his sleep; then come up as quick as
you can" said Tin Eye at last.
Now the crew came aft, led by bosun
and carpenter. The engine-room crew
clambered up from stoke hold and en-
CINE room. All came to the bridge
ladder.
1--WE can't stand it, sir" they cried,
thinking that Chandler still held the
bridge.
Old Tin Eye answered them as he
would have If in actual command.
60 to your duty, men. There are
people yonder needing help. You must
keep steam up, chief. Bosun, the
ship1l be on fire unless the hoses are
kept going"
The men went grumbling away. Not
that they lacked the will to carry on,
but simply because human lungs could
not breathe in the reek. Yet that grim,
sturdy old figure on the bridge breathed.
More boats sped by, full of screaming
people. The chief engineer. who knew
relations existing between skipper and
mate, fingered after his crew had gone
below.
why don't you alter course and get
clear of here. Murray" he demanded.
'Nobody'u be able to stay in the stoke
hold in Is minutes"
Out of the seward darkness. racing
toward the doomed town, a swift war
ship came, her siren roaring encourage
ment.
IT'S too late now" Tin Eye gasped.
Cant leave human beings to roast In
plain sight"
"Let that warship do it! She's got
men to spare" the chief rasped back.
She'll get all the glory, anyhow. Wen
get none. You won't anyhow. Chand-
ler1l see to that. Better get out.
Where Is the old MANI"
| Getting no reply, the chief went to
| find Chandler. When he returned, Tin
| Eye had the bosun playing water on
| the lifeboatS. Two boats were ready for
| lowering. Hose dashed in place kept
water drenching the tackle and gear
| of those two, the plugs taken out to
| let the water run clear, Tin Eve
knew that the chiefs blunt as
surance regarding honor and glory
was true. Chandler would never let
any credit accrue to his mate, what
ever he did But that made no diff
| ference. The steamer was so far, she
must carry on.
Steam enshrouded her. Steam and
smoke. and dust. The sea was Uttered
with floating debris: every floating thing
held somebody, living or dead. At the
waters edge, in front of the burning
town, a steamer lay beached, her plates
glowing dull red. The roar and crackle
of the fire were drowned in the kissing
and boiling of molten river pouring
into the sea. Sea and shore rang with
the cries of birds. The sea was Uttered
with them. The chief, satisfied that
Tin Eye would carry out whatever he
chose to do, and having seen with his
own eyes Chambers total eclipse, went
to his duty like man and played his
part
\ \ X
THE warship was circling. all her
boats scattered over the lurid bay.
Tin Eye swung the steamer, for the
heat scorched his eyes. He saw the
warships men drop under the terrific
