ENTER: The sunbath frock The ex-
- IRENE decollette gown, cut to the
waistline in the back, is fashions new
est edict, and will urquestionably be
the most daring departure in 1929
styles.
When Alice White first pranced down
Hollywood boulevard sans hosiery it
caused little less than riot; but the
appearance of Doris Dawson in a sun
bath frock was a sensation!
This frock was of white rayon and
cotton mixture, with a damask sheen
brocaded with small self design. The
back neckline was low-in fact almost
to the normal waistline, and q separate
jacket - for emergency when the sun
goes down-was worn with it, or rather,
carried on the arm.

The suggestion of Commissioner
Taliaferro was prompted by statements
made to the coming commission which.
ne said, indicated that property buyers
in some cases either had been mis-
understood or misinformed as to the
coming status of the property pur-
chased. He contends that since coming
has a vital effect on the possible use
Of property, this information as to
coming Is Of importance to the owner
almost equal to a certificate of the
title.
The Commissioners made the follow
ing statement regarding his suggestion
Laws respecting the coming of real
estate which give the designated authori-
ties power to specify or limit the height
Of buildings. the character Of occu-
pancy and the area of occupancy are
of comparatively recent origin in this
country, but the fundamental princi-
Piles of such laws have been tested and
sustained by the courts of several Of
the States and by the Supreme Court.
Heretofore it has been the effort of a
purchaser of real estate to make sure
he obtains good legal title thereto and
that the property Is free of all encum-
brances
ct is the common practice for real
estate title companies to report as to
those items. and also as to any cove
nants running with the land which
would affect and restrict the enjoyment
Of the property by the purchaser. 1t
has been the common practice of real
estate agents to include in agreements
for the purchase of real estate a state
ment as to warranty of title as to ex-
isting encumbrances and as to cove
nants running with the land.
"Zoning laws have introduced ar
entirely new element into the owner
ship Of land. 1t is probably Of almost
equal importance to the purchaser of
real estate to know whether under the
law it may be used for residential or
business purposes, as it Is for such pur-
chaser to know how he obtains good
fee simple title to the land.

able to prospective investors. so that, II
they wish, they may form independent
opinions on the basis of responsible
data.
Sterilization of the real estate mar
ket values will be an outstanding
achievement through its tendency to
curtail blind speculation and its strong
emphasis of the aspect Of sound invest
ment.
Real estate men whose securities are
accepted will gain sales prestige by
having their securities bear the ap-
prevail of the exchange, and the public
will be served both by the liquid mar
ket as we'll as by the exchanges dis
couragement of unSound offers.
I'VE realize keenly that the exchange
must merit public faith and that the
degree of confidence 1t inspires in the
public will measure its success"
Bowling Heads Committee.
The task of accepting or rejecting
proposed offerings on this market is
placed in the hands of listing COM
n1ittee headed by Robert E. Bowling.
1t is announced by the exchange
committee that individuals and corpora
tons proposing their securities for list
ing must make thorough statements OF
their financial condition personnel and
business history. as well as file report OF
qualified appraisers on the actual physi-
cal condition of the property.
The financial condition OF the COM
pany applying must be explained with
regard to mortgages and other forms
of indebtedness, showing date, ma
turity, interest, rate, convertibility and
whether redemption is arranged by
sinking fund or otherwise and how
much is authorized and issued.
The applicant also must recite other
liabilities, such as leases, guarantees
and rentals, together with a statement
of the company's policy with regard to
redemption. Dividends paid or de-
clared by the applying company, its
predecessors and constituent and sub
sidiary companies must be reported, to-
gether with a mass of other data.
A board of governors Of the exchange
is given the right to suspend dealings
in any securities previously admitted to
quotation on the exchange or sum-
marily remove them from the list. and
the committee is authorized to remove
from the list securities whose ouLstaad-
ing amounts have made further deal
ings inadvisable, it is announced.

Several new features are contained
in the financial mad legal set-up made
bv the HAMPSHIRE Gardens Develop
r;ent Corporation for the cooperative
apartment project which has oeen
started on a 50-acre tract near new
Hampshire avenue and Emerson street
according to ]. B. Shapiro, president
of the corporation. ,...
What is believed to be an innovatloll
in the comparatively owned apartment
home plan is that groups of buildings

, corporate control. In other words,
control of each group OF buildings VIII
be vested in the hands OF a poaro vi

elected by apartment owners IN eacH

owner of an apartment.
Central Heating Plant.
Other features, as outlined by Mr..
shaniro are that the nine buildings
in each group are heated by a central
heating plant, which Is an innovatlon
in Washington: that there is but one
trust outstanding against the apart,
ments as purchased by tenants, ana
that each building is not to be operated
as a cooperative unit until the build
ing is 100 per cent sold out, deposits
meanwhile to be held in trust by a
local bank.
In addition to members of board
of directors of owners for each group
Of buildings, elected annually by the
stockholders of the various buildings
of a group, there is to be formed a
house committee of three members for
each building, the representative on

Under the legal arrangements the
directors must employ the services OF
a managing agency to handle all de-
tails of actual operation, to keep books
make all collections from stockholders
hire janitors, gardeners, to purchase
supplies, etc. This agency must be
adequately bonded, 1t is explained.
It is also made obligatory that the
directors must obtain, under yearly re.
tainer, the services of disinteresteo
certified public accountant to make
periodic audits of its accounts, main
tanned by the management agency

URGES US. CONSTRUCTION
AT TIME OF DEPRESSION
Boston Architect Suggests Action
to Spur Prevention of. Serious
Downward Trend.

As soon as a downward trend be-
comes manifest business instinct tends
to slacken production and so accentu-
ates the downward trend. says William
Stanley Parker of the Boston chapter
Of the American Institute Of Architects,
in discussing 1.-THE Road to Plenty" IN
"The Octagon," monthly journal OF
the institute.
"As soon as the bottom has been
clearly reached every one climbs aboard
the escalator until literally dumped on
at another peak. Thus the present
scheme of business tends toward ex-
tremes of depression and peak.
1.-The Government should lead by a
constructive effort to refrain from COM
peting for labor in times Of business
activity and to throw its public work
into the balance as downward ten
dency becomes apparent.
with such a leadership 1t is felt that
private enterprise would be encouraged
to cooperate and thus add further
weight to the counter balancing move
ment that would prevent the downward
tendency developing into serious de-
preston, or the upward tendency into
a hectic peak"

The future of this project. the first
of it's kind, will be watched with inter-
est by bankers and realty leaders in
Washington and other cities, since the
scope of the exchange, as planned. is
to be national. 1t is predicted here that
if the exchange proves successful Its
members may open branch offices In
Washington and other cities.
The Real Estate Securities Exchange
is reported to be the elimination of
two years of study and intensive work
and is being sponsored by the New
York Real Estate Board.
Protect Investors.
The exchange, in the opinion OF its
members, will serve in the protection
of investors in real estate bond and
stock issues. which total many millions
in value annually. This is to be &C
complished by rigid scrutiny and eX-
animation of the security back OF each
issue before it may be listed on the
exchange boards.
Few large-scale building operations
are financed out of the pocketbooks OF
the developers or promoters. Bondhold-
ers are the real owners. But. the eX-
change officials declare. the ability OF
corporations to obtain funds for large
operations has been hampered by lack
OF facilities for marketing their securl-
ties and the reluctance" of investors
to place money in securities not read
lily resalable prior to maturity and for
which, in many cases. there was no
authoritative source of information as
to their soundness.
Cyrus C. Miller, president OF the ex-
change, gives the following outline OF
the set-up and aims of the organiza-
ton:
ut is the purpose of the New York
Real Estate Securities Exchange to
make real estate securities liquid by
providing a regular market where real
estate stocks, bonds and other securi-
ties may be negotiated. sold and trans
ferred The exchange will direct its ef-
forts also to safeguard the interests OF
both dealers and investors.
Investigate Listings.
Proposed listings will be rigidly in
vestigated. Their acceptance or reJec-
ton will be based on appraisals OF

ciai condition, the records of past &C
