homes Is not new. The plan has been
practiced successfully in France, Italy,
Denmark and. other European coun-
tries for several centuries. It is only
the adaptation of the basic principles
of cooperative ownership to local re-
quirements in this country that Is COM
paratively new"
Mr.. Dawson points out that since
American laws do not permit the own
ership and transfer by deed Of an indi-
vidual apartment, it became necessary
to adopt another form of ownership
which would afford the protection to
the owner that Is granted by a deed to
real property and also would permit the
owner free latitude in the resale and
subletting of his apartment, subject
only to the restrictions imposed by the
owning group.
This method, which has been in use
in this country for a quarter of a
century," he continues, provides for
the organization of a cooperative
apartment corporation to acquire the
ownership of the land and apartment
building. 1t is customary for the cor
poration to secure first trust loan on
its property in an amount equal to
about SO or so per cent of the value of
the land and building and to issue cap
ital stock for the difference between
the amount of the first trust and the
total value. This difference is known
as equity.
THE shares of stock of the apart
ment corporation are then apportioned
to the respective apartments according
to their rental value and are offered for
sale, together with perpetual leases,
known as proprietary leases. The pur-
chaser is referred to as stockholder-
tenant or tenant-owner.
THE purchaser of the stock appor-
toned to an apartment acquires a pro-
portionate interest in the land. building
and other assets of the apartment COR
poration and the right to a proprietary
lease on the particular apartment Sc
lected, subject to the bylaws of the
corporation.
The owner of the stock and proprie-
tary lease thus has voice in the con-
duct of the affairs of the corporation"

A group of nine "double-front" houses,

cost of approximately 100000, will be
erected on Forty-fourth street between
and @ streets by Waverly Taylor, Inc,
this being the fourth group project OF
the firm in its FoXhall development.
Ground has been broken for the houses
and building is to be started shortly.
The new group, which will be on the
east side of the street, overlooking

total number of houses of this firm to
38. There are to be 100 houses in all
in the Taylor development adjoining

The new group will be of English ar

Moving Season Here.

Inc annual moving season 1Or apart
ment tenants is on. The climax will be
reached next Monday and Tuesday as
tenants leave present quarters for new
ones. The annual moving period Is
caused by the fact that here, according
to custom, the great majority of leases
expire September 80.
The rather general shift of the popu-
lation within q comparatively brief
period places a heavy burden on trans
fer companies. telephone, gas and cleo
trio power companies, which must close
old services and records and open new
ones as apartment jewellers find new
quarters. In some of the larger cities
these problems have been minimiZed by
the adoption by property management
agents of plan for staggering" the
dates for the expiration of leases. so
that they will be more or less diStrib-
uted throughout the year rather than
on September 80, as is the prevailing
popular practice in Washington.
There are, however, arguments to be
found for the prevailing system here as
we'll as for the new practice in some
other cities. For one thing, an annual
moving period brings all the extra man
agement problems together at one
time rather than having them scattered
throughout the year, which might re-
quire the employment of extra help in
an office the year round rather than for
one month or less
But right or wrong, Washington has
chung to the traditional practice here
and apartment tenants this week have
been busy packing and unpacking and
property managers and owners have
been almost as busy checking off old
tenants and listing new ones and again
figuring how nearly their buildings are
to 100 per cent occupancy.

planned at considerable length. The
position Of aircraft stocks in the finan-

The status Of airplane and engine

as is the remarkable increase in the
number Of large industrial concerns
which have established aviation divi-
sions to purvey accessories and auxiliary
equipment to the thriving industry
Among the interesting developments in
recent months has been aircraft radio,
which must have considerable influence
on the proper navigation and operation
of flying machines. The manner in
which the Commerce Department is

strict inspection and licensing system
comparable to that by which the States
regulate motor car operations, is ex-

A|RP[ANE AN AID
IN FLOOD RELIEF
300 Flights Made by Army
Aviators Distributing Food
and Medical Supplies.

Nearly 800 flights were made by
Army airplanes engaged in flood relief
work in Southern Alabama last month,
resulting in the distribution to isolated
flood sufferers Of between 20 and IS
tons Of food, medical supplies, blankets
and clothing furnished by the American
Red Cross, according to a report re-
ceived by the War Department. ..
The supplies were dropped by Army
flyers to the submerged towns Of Elba,
Geneva, Riyerfalls, Brewton, Flomation,
Pollard and Keego, Ala. An cupboard
boat motor was dropped suspended
from parachute, to relief party on
the bank of the river at Elba to be used
In rescuing persons from the roofs and
tops Of buildings. -
Flights Began March Is.
Flights over the flooded district were
started March Is in response to an APP
peal from the Governor of Alabama.
On March IS the Army planes at Max
well Field, Montgomery, made "a flights.
On March 16, Saturday, AZ flights were
made; on Sunday, 81; Monday, 76;
Tuesday, Sc, and wednesday, March 20,
~ flights.
The Maxwell Field personnel was as
sisted by pilots and observers with six
airplanes from the 106th Observation
Squadron, Alabama National Guard,
who reported for duty March IS, and
Air Corps pilots and observers with
eight airplanes from Langley Field, Va,
who arrived at Maxwell Field the morn
ing Of March II.
American Red Cross ground panel
signals were used as a means Of COM
munication between flood victims and
the planes. The code was developed by
Brig. Gen. Benjamin d. Foulois, as
sistant chief Of the Army Air Corps,
and used in the New England flood in
1927, subsequently being adopted by
the Red Cross.
Communication Code Established
Prepared panels, with instructions
for their use, were dropped by the
planes on their first trips and in sew
eral instances within five minutes after
the panels and code had been dropped
communication was established. In
one instance the panels and code we're
pied by more than SO, persons and In
approximately three minutes the first
message was received stating the needs
Of the stranded party, the necessary
supplies being dropped on the building
later the same day.
The work Of Army and Navy airplane
units was credited by Ernest ]. Swift,
chief Of Red Cross operations N the

OF lives and preventing much suffering.

At these schools selected officers
of the various arms Of the service
are gathered for further training
in the science Of the branch with
which they are. connected. The
Operations of the Air Corps have
a direct bearing upon each of the
other arms and 1t is of the utmost
Importance that the Infantry,
Artillery and Cavalry officers
should know what the Air Corps
Is doing and how they are ex-

aerial demonstrations naturally
would bring the lesson home with
greater ;vividneSS and effect than
could any amount of classroom
schooling. Obviously there Is no
place where such demonstrations
could be held at better advantage
than at the service schools.
