Potato Shipments Decrease
CarlOt shipments of potatoes were
showing some reduction in the daily
output late in September, but move
ment from Maine and the Rocky
Mountain region continued active,
and dali totals were not far below
200 carloads. Moderate supplies |
were reported in most eastern mar
kets, but demand has not been very |
and prices have ruled |
lower than last season, although |
the crop is a light one. The COM
low level of the potato
market is in line with other fruits
and vegetables, most of which are
selling under the price levels of last
season. Potato growers are faring

northern Maine which had fairly
good crop, and where prices range
S1.15 to $1.30 per hundred pounds.

HOME DEFINITION
WINS $3.50 PRIZE
Declared to Be domestic
Sanctuary" by Woman, One
of 1000 Contestants.

Miss F. Luena williams, so, living II
her own home at IS Lancaster terrace,
Brookline, Mass, a home economics
teacher in the Weymouth High School,
East Weymouth, has won the $3.50 prize
offered by the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards for the best defini-
ton of the word home" according to
an announcement made last night by
Herbert u. Nelson, executive secre-
tary. Ten thousand and ninety def1ni-
tons were entered In the contest.
Home" says Miss Williams, sis
domestic anctuary-wrought out of
desire, built into memory-where kim
dred bonds unite the family in sharing
labor, leisure, JOY and SORROWS"
With warm, vibrant strokes, in the
space of Is words, Miss Williams set
forth the ageless meaning of home that
puts to shame the cold, sharp sentences
in English dictionaries, say the contest
judges.
Mr.. Nelson's Comment.
This definition" says Mr.. Nelson,
expresses the sentimental way in
which millions of people feel about
their abiding places, because, through
the centuries, home to all people has
meant more than just shelter. But
until this time no one has ever ex-
pressed the real beauty of the home
idea.
The Massachusetts school teacher,
becoming dissatisfied with boarding
house life, drew the plans for a small
bungalow in which she now resides.
This Is the home that inspired her to
write the prize definition.
Built three years ago, her house
stands on a lot 80 by 100 feet. The
structure is Of cedar shingle, built on a
terrace and surrounded with flower
beds, vegetable gardens, vines and
shrubs. The landscaping has been
achieved with the assistance every year
Of school boys, says Miss williams, in
describing her home.
The contest, announced November "a,
1929, staggered the judges in the way
1t gained momentum. People from
many European countries and from
practically every town and city in the
United States, and representing all
walks OF life, competed for the prize.
All Glasses Join in Competition.
College professors, attorneys general,
members Of the House of Representa-
tives, ministers, priests, rabbis, mission
aries, laborers, hospital patients, au-
thors, poets, servants, clerks and busi-
ness men sent in definitions.
The contest judgeS-Leonard p.
Reaume, Detroit, president of the as
ISOLATION; Harry Kissen, Springfield,
Ohio, first vice president, and Mr.. Mel
son, gave honorable mention to four
definitions in the following order:
/. "Home-man's abode made sacred
by love, loyalty and understanding and
surrounded by hallowed memories of
happy days in shared experiences. -

REALTORS LAUDED
FOR DRY LAW AID
Charles G. Edwards Voices
Approval of Enforce
ment Move.

The recent action taken by the
washington Real Estate Board in
pledging assistance to United States
District Attorney Rover in preventing
use Of property here in violation of the
prohibition laws was commended by
Charles G. Edwards. former president
of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards and former head Of the
New York board.
Addressing local realtors at their
meeting this week at Wardman Park,
Edwards said he admired the stand
taken by the local board, pointing out
that realtors have a responsibility to
the owners of property in relation to
tenants placed in buildings.
Edwards made the remark at the
opening of his dicusssion of the New
York Real Estate Securities Exchange,
of which he recently was elected presi-
dent.
In explaining the action of the local
board John A. Petty, executive secre-
tary. stated that the purpose was not
to encourage real estate agents to turn
to shopping" for prohibition law vio-
lators, but rather to protect owners
of properties from the operation of
the law permitting the padlocking of
premises where persistent violations of
the liquor laws are found.

100000 new HOMES
HELD ANNUAL NEED
Summary of Report and
Survey Says Demands
Have Become Stable.

Need of 400 900 new homes annually
TO properly house all the people of the
United States is emphasized by Edward
Eyre Hunt, secretary of the Presidents
conference on unemployment, in his
interpretive summary of the report and
survey on economic conditions, issued
last Spring by the committee on recent
economic changes.
Mr.. Hunt points out in his "An
Audit of America" that, though con-
struction In recent years has reached
an annual value of $1,000, 100000, that
sum is conservative in relation to the
national income and savings when COM
pared with the pe-war figures.
Increase Becomes Stable.
''The annual increase in population"
more nearly stabilized, and we as peo-
pie now require an annual addition Of
400, 900 homes, as well as other Struc-
lures. The net loss of the farm popu-
lation to cities and towns has resulted
in an unusual demand for urb1n
dwellings; the growth in per capita III
come and savings has had its effect, as
well as the obsolescence of existing
structures, and the supply of invest
ment funds has greatly increased, and
until 1929 there was generally lower
trend of interest rates. Steady progress
has also been made toward systematic
ing the Nations building program and
toward national pooling Of part Of the
funds"
Analysing the building problem that
arose during the postwar era, MIR. Hunt
asserts that general business conditions
have exerted a marked influence on the
amount of new building undertaken.
This fell of strikingly in 1924 and
again in 1927. Mr.. Hunt notes that the
abundant. credits available for con-
struction have not resulted in an in
flationary building boom, frequently
the precursor to depression. Only once.
he observes, in the Spring of 1928, new
construction was being projected so
rapidly that wholesale prices of build
ing materials began to mount. He re-
calls that in March of that year Mr.
Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce,
in reply to the President, wrote sug-
costing that Federal building be de-
ferred for time.
PostpOnement Advised.
Mr.. Hunt also points out that in
April, 1928, the report of the committee
on business cycles and unemployment
of the Presidents conference on unem-
ployment advised the deferment OF pub
lie works and the construction work OF
large public service corporations 70 less
active periods, and the problem was
then widely discussed. The building
problem was safely adjusted to the ca
pacity of the industry, and building
costs have never been so high, Mr..
Hunt remarks.
In the case of residential and COM
mercial buildings. Mr.. Hunt asserts,
there is much more planning Of basic
sort than before the war. City plan
ming and coming have advanced, and he
sees the development of the National
''Federal-aid' highway system and the
interconnection Of electric power sys-
TENS as further evidences Of construc-
ton broadly planned.

FAR WEST NEXT
To BE VISITED
BY WOODCOCK

With stops planned in Indiana
and Illinois, Prohibition Director
Amos w. w. Woodcock today
was entering into the final
!. phases of his nationwide survey
Of the Governments dry machine.
= BY the end Of the week Wood
cock expected to invade the vine
yard county Of the Far West,
where interest has been centered
recently because of official Gov.
ernment reports showing that a
tremendous volume of grapes 60
into wine annually.
First Hand Data
Mr.. Woodcock seeks first hand
information as to Pacific Coast
conditions. He does not intend,
, however, to interfere with the
legitimate distribution of the
grape crop. In fact, he recently
indicated there was nothing the
Government could do about home
wine making.
Before leaving washington.
Woodcock said he planned to
spend most Of his time "in the
field" He indicated that he ex-
pected much better results in
) enforcement from close contact
with the field forces.
, Finds Cooperation
In nearly every State and city
visited Woodcock has round excel
lent local cooperation with the
Federal authorities, even in New
York, where there is no State en-
forcement law, and in Chicago,
feputed center for the illicit in
duStry in the Midwest. He said:
"The Federal prohibition
machine is functiOning effec-
lively and smoothly. / do not
attempt to say, however, how
. much liquor is being consumed,
but progress is being made.
Several big rings have been
broken up recently and be-
Geve the Governments policy
Of going after the commercial
