Unsupported by earnings, the mar
ket value of surrounding properties and
the reproduction value of the structure
being appraised are worth exactly
nothing" in making scientific valua-
tions, says Mr.. Nolan. The big thing is
what the building under good manage
ment can be made to earn, and future
taxes. rents and operating expenses are
important items that the modern ap-
praiser must be able to calculate with
mathematical precision. according to
this expert.
Mr.. Nolan. who has made more than
$4,000 real estate appraisalS, running
into billions of dollars. over period of
a quarter of century, has applied the
Bank of England rules to the valuation
of commercial property in this country.
The scientific English system. which is
based on earnings. has been in use in
Great Britain for three-quarters of a
century.

Property Is Listed
In Name of Nobody;
Rights Respected

LONDON (P).-"Nobody" has
property rights that are respected
in England.
Every now and then the efforts
of county authorities to acquire a
piece of land for public purposes
disclose that the land is owned
by nobody"
Two plots near Hampton Court
recently were discovered to be
such mo mans land" when the
Surrey County Council tried to
buy them, and similar cases have
turned up in the older and poorer
parts of London.
The usual procedure is to have
such land valued by a disinter-
ested person and the money paid
into court by the county council
or incorporated town. Then if
nobody" ever shows up he can
collect his money, knowing that
his rights were looked after while
he was gone.

BY LUCY CLAIRE

Fashion Writer for Central Press
While the new silhouette Is here,
and here TO stay with us for some
time, revolters to the contrary. IL
Is not being accepted in its most
exaggerated form by American wo-
men. generally speaking. Criticism
OF women's clothes Is as old as the
Bible. No doubt even Mother Eve
was criticized for wearing her skirts
too short. There will always be this
criticism. this revolt. whenever a
new mode is introduced, because
the majority OF those who have
not been to Paris. or seen the new
things in the smart shops, vizualize
the exaggeration. Skirts are longer,
but not long. at least for daytime
wear. Lines are fitted, but not 70
the s~queezed-in figure OF the naugh-
~ nineties. There Is a change, but
IL Is not SO great that 1t will make
Us look ridiculous.
The normal waistline does not
mean something up under the arm
pits, any more than the longer skirt
does not mean five or six inches
from the ground. The normal waist
lines are still being posed on the
top OF the hips while we are gett-
ing &C ustomed TO the raise. Our
sports clothes are still almost
straight lines. with skirt lengths
about four inches below the knee.
Afternoon frocks develop uneven
hemlines with long in back or front
or sides. or in points or Scallops
all around. Not such a terrific diff
ference after all. Just a little great
er length. a little more fullness and
more nodded lines.
Conservative Model
An example Of one Of the more
conservative afternoon frocks In
brown satin with eggshell trim Is
shown at the left OF the sketch. The
draping at the side and the swath-
ed hip give the modish soft lines
that are in no way extreme. The
eggshell collar repeats the drape
on the skirt. Copper bronze kid
pumps and eggshell hose are worn
with this frock.
A frock or flat crepe in navy blue
has its waistline placed nearer nor
NAL. vet does not look 40 all radi-
cal. This Is interpreted In a short
jacket. or eton effect. with a yoked
skirt which dips in the front. The
bodice has the effect or the tuck
in blouse. Navy blue kid shoes OF
the n strap version accompany
this frock, which you will find
Sketched al the right.
In the center Is a two-piece frock
OF black satin. the blouse girdled
IN shirrings, and elaborated with a
rose taffeta bow edged with chiffon.

Achieving
Beauty
BIZ MADAME R~UBINsTEIN

Whenever I meet a woman for the
first time. whether professionally or
socially. 7 pay great attention TO one
thing, and that Is her voice. ~ she
Is q client, or II she asks my advice
In a voice that Is raucous or harsh
or strident. i make q mental note
at once-for my beauty advice does
not stop at facts concerning creams
and powders.
A quality which I really admire
shakespeare makes mention Of 1t
more than once Is "a low gentle
voice." because II Is ian excellent
thing in a woman" My own ex-
perience Is. that OF all the nations.
the Englishwoman's voice Is the
most charming: some American wo-
men are apt to forget the import
ance Of voice culture. They allow
their emotions 10 run away with
them. and one does often hear a
strident. or even a harsh, American
voice. An English voice Is always
clear soft and pleasant. "A woman'S
voice whether Of the low. sweet type.
the rich contralto kind. or the clear.
bell-like variety. should have a soft
pleasant tone. ii should leave behind
with its nearer, something like a
pleasant memory.
OF course. a charming voice has
10 be taken care OF. The throat and
chest must be treated with a consi-
derable amount Of respect. Correct
breathing Is essential: the mouth
should always be kept closed, so that
all pernicious germs which affect
the throat should be excluded, and
everybody ought To breath through
the nose and not through the mouth.
Reasonable warmth is essential to
the throat and neck. but one should
not over coddle them or exclude
fresh air.
To cultivate a good speaking voice.
the correct pronunciation OF words
must not be forgotten.
Much car be achieved in voice Gull
tivation by clear enunciation and In
giving each syllable its due. Also.
take a r that you do not allow your
voice to become m~onotonous.
