ELOQUENCE SMALL
PORTION OF REALTY
Silver Tongued Craftsmanship
Is No Longer Consid-
cred a Factor.

Silver-tongued craftsmanship plays a
small part in real estate business be-
tween brokers and chain store exec
utives, Charles H. Sanford told menu
bers of the brokers' division of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate Boards
at the annual business meeting of the
organization. Mr.. Sanford, who is in
charge of the location problem for a
large chain store business, added that
the chain store executive wanted in
exhaustible information from the real
estate broker rather than craftsmanship.
In outlining the main elements to be
considered in locating chain store
Mr.. Sanford named Type of location
"a mems location can best be found
near clothing, shoe and sporting goods
stores, and women's location should
be convenient to department stores
location percentage, which can be de-
termined by a stop watch count of
traffic on the most suitable corner of
the town and a count from which a
comparative percentage may be figured,
on the spot offered, and the purchasing
power or quality of the traffic passing
the location being considered
For the fact that many cities have no
limitation and a lack of diversification
in their chain stores Mr. Sanford
blamed realtors. Such condition, he
said, depreciates the value of property
in town
Naturally, the we'll established and
successful chain store operators do not
view this condition with pleasure" Mr..
Sanford declared. Chain stores, de-
spite their national aspect. are inter-
ested in the cities and towns which
they serve. They have their share of
local civic pride Their Investments arc
in the locations they back, and their
interest is as great if not greater than
that of the individual local merchant.
They have as much interest in main
tanning the reputation of the city as
a good business center as has the
biggest local booster.
Since no city can support more
stores than those justified by existing
purchasing power. it necessarily follows
that limitation and diversification are
to the best interests of the town. The
realtor can do much to- bring this about
by replacing outgoing tenancies with in
coming chains of diversified lines"

Speed, ass-production, huge cor

a predominance of vertical motives in

steel, a product of machines, mass

Considerations of climate prevent the

nothing hinders the true expression of

Modernism is trying to express this

are machine made, let them proudly pro-
claim the fact rather than hide behind
false pretenses. If a building is erected
by large corporation conscious of the
advertinsing value of the facede, let it
have black brick, gold ornament and
flood lighting.
IF a purely commercial structure Is
built, let its lines express steel framing.

v. |. KING DELIVERS
FINANCING TALK
Ability of Broker to Arrange
Payments Big Factor,
"Y" Class Is Told.

In this age of the universal popu-
Iarity of installment buying, the ability
of broker to finance real estate trans
actions is in large measure an index
of his success In his business w. l..
King member of the firm of Boss &,
Phelps, declared this week in lecture
on real estate sales delivered before the
class in real estate of the Y. M. C. A..
College. The great majority of homes
today are sold on some form Of deferred
purchase plan. he said.
While there was a time when a
mortgage on the home was considered
somewhat of stigma on the family
name, modern tendencies have COM
pletely changed the situation. with the
result. according to Mr.. King. that
perhaps IS per cent of the homes in
the District of Columbia have one or
more mortgages secured on them.
Where purchaser desiring to buy
home or make an investment in other
types of real estate is in position to
cent cash, no special ability is required
in connection with the financing OF
such a purchase" he said. With al
most unlimited sources available for in
vestment in first mortgages approx
mating so per cent of the value of the
property, the broker or his client ex-
periences little difficulty in consummat-
ing a transaction predicated on the
payment of so per cent of the purchase
price in cash.
Trust companies and life insurance
companies. with their vast resources of
capital and trust funds, are in keen
competition in keeping their money in
vested and choice first mortgages have
for a-long time been their preferential
form of investment"
In discussing junior financing, MIR.
King expressed the opinion that the
home owner would benefit by a modifi-
cation of the usury law to permit the
placing Of second trust at an interest
rate greater than the legal amount now
allowed. Such modification would
make available larger sums of money
from a wider range of sources than at
present available Under existing con-
ditions the borrower finds it difficult to
place second trusts.
At the next meeting of the class
John A. Petty, executive secretary OF
the Washington Real Estate Board, will
close the course with q discussion OF
real estate ethics.

Jury Dead1ocked in Case Of Youth
Accused in Murder.

ATLANTA. Ga, February 2 (P.-
A mistrial was declared early last night
in the case of Richard Gray Gallogly,
accused of the murder of a drug store
clerk during a hold-up last October,
when the Superior Court jury reported
that 1t was hopelessly deadlocked after
nearly "a hours of elaboration.
The 19-year-old son of a socially
prominent family here was accused Of

with George r. Harsh, college mate.
Willard Smith, the clerk, was shot
down when he attempted to resist.
Harsh, who confessed the shooting and
implicated Gallogly as his companion.
recently was convicted and sentenced
to die in the electric chair.
Gallogly denied that he participated
in the hold-up and said he ATTEMPTED
to dissuade Harsh when the latter an
nounced his intention of robhing the
store.
The jury stood six for acquittal and
six for conviction with recommended
ton for mercy, it was announced. On
the first ballot taken three were said
to have voted for acquittal and nine
for conviction with the mercy recon-
mendation, which would have carried
a sentence of life imprisonment.

Shaded Furs,
Barbara JeWelry

Shaded furs are very smart this sea-
son, and those usually chosen for this
treatment are breitschwantz, shaved
lamb, krimmer, atrakhan and caracal:
Sometimes the edge of the deep cum
fartheSt from the hand is OF a deep
brown, or black, shading out to a gray
or light brown where the fur touches
the hand. Collars are also shaded from
dark tones to light tones near the race.
Barbaric necklaces, bracelets, earrings

considered appropriate for an anthro-
biological display in museum are now
among the most priced trinketS IN the

them more highly than diamonds ana

These ornaments are not only appro-
pirate for sports wear, but are worn Win
afternoon costumes as well, provlolng
they tone somehow with the cut ana
color of the costume. Only for formal

Wooden jewelry of all sorts-based on

among the fine woods used for this pur-
pose are teak, junk rosewood, ebony,
as are also ivory, bone, bamboo, carved

The smartest footwear this season
will be the simplest. Trimming is gen.

ITO wear with suits during the day
there are new oxfords made with per-
forated or punch-work trimming. They
are fastened by means of buckles at side
front instead Of the usual lacingS. These
new oXfords share popularity with one
strap, leather heeled shoes fastened
with a button. Buttons are in keeping
with the trend toward simpler shoe
fashions. Plain bone buttons appear
in the tailored shoes and enamel but
tons on dreSSier types for afternoon
wear. The plain opera pump, how
ever, is the more usual choice for for
NAL occasions.
Calfskin, kid and suede are COM
bined in various ways. They are some
times trimmed with reptile skins. but
very discreetly and in blending tone.
Lizard pumps in black and brown and
water snake in all brown are correct
with the suit. Tweed shoes may be
worn with the tweed suit. Black Is the
first choice, with brown a close second
Navy or dark green shoes may be worn
when they match the suit.
All stockings are darker in tone than
they have been and match the shoes
rather than the costume. Gunmetal

Brown stockings. ranging from me-
dunn sunburn shade to a deep golden
brown or a brown tone softened with
gray, may be worn with either black

Varied as are the new evening

Bodice lines are more closely nodded,

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The use Of Tactic acid milk or one OF
the made buttermilks" for infant feed
ings has become SO universally familiar
that mothers accept it almost without
question. But being modern she does
want to know. why is sour milk bet
ter for babies? Why do they use Tactic
acid in tt?"
It has been said, times without num-
Der, that cows milk was not intended
for small babies, but for small calves
The type Of protein in cows milk is
difficult for the small baby to digest
His stomach has acids which should re-
duce the milk to an acidified liquid, 81
that it can pass out of the stomach
but cows milk demands more of this
acid than most babies stomachS pro-
vide. Given cows milk in quantities
that will nourish him, the curds tend
to gather in large, tough chunks" and
baby suffers collie and indigestion be-
cause of them
It was found that, II acid were added
to the cows milk formula, this "pieced
out" what was lacking in the baby's
own supply of acid, and so more milk
and less water could be used. almost as
if the baby were being fed on whole
milk.
Various acids were tried out-citric
acid, such as is found in lemons u
lines; acetic acid (vinegar), hydro
chloric acid, which is found normally
in the stomach and Tactic acid. such as
we find in natural buttermilk.- The
citric and Tactic acids had the advan-
tage Of doing the work and being more
agreeable to baby's taste, so these are
in common use.
The experience of DR.. McKim Mar
riott, dean of the University School OF
Medicine and chief of staff of the St
Louis Children's Hospital, have been
widely published, and his formulas are
in constant use almost everywhere. OF
recent years he has favored the use OF
evaporated milk in his lactic-acid
formulas, so that we may be sure this
will grow in popularity in the future
being easily obtainable everywhere.
There are distinct advantages in
feeding with Tactic acid milk. First OF
all. its ease of digestion. Then more
milk and less water makes it possible
to better feed the tiny, undernourished
baby who needs more milk but can't
take a large formula (diluted) with
out splitting up most of it. This Is
especially true when there Is an OBJ
struction, such as pyloric stenosis.
Tactic acid milk Is made exactly the
same way from the time the baby first
takes it until he is year of age. The
sole difference is in the amount that
