of the cities in this district apartment

in % per cent lower. Both centrally
located Office and business properties in
the mountain States are, on the whole,
bringing slightly increased rentals. In
centrally located Office property 70 per

The real estate license measure was
passed by the Senate, but has not yet
come up for a vote in the House It is
mllar in form to the realty license
measure now in effect in IS States OF
the country and is based on a model
law foStered by the National Association
ST Real Estate Boards, and urged locally
By the Washington board.
The proposed substitute for the much
criticized Borland law was drafted by
District officials after a lengthy study
of the problem by Capt H. C. White
hurst. co-ordinator and chief engineer
Corporation Counsel william w. Bride
and Tax Assessor William P. Richards.
Equitable Features Retained.
Equitable features of the Borland law
were retained. but the system was
changed so as to avoid unequal assess
mentS as between different property
owners.
One-half of the cost of paving or re-
paving Of roadwayS was to be charged
against abutting property owners, as at
present. but in no case would the
amount of the assessment work out to
be more than $3.50 per front foot of the
property assessed. or 3l2 cents per
square foot, or more than 20 per cent
of the assessment on the land for tax
purposes
No assessment would be levied for
repaving where the original cost was
laid by the developer of the property.
provided the original work was done
under the engineering supervision of
the District Highway Department and
met specifications for materials and
workmanship. Under the existing rule
such "whole-cost" work Is not counted
as having once been assessed against
property owners.
To correct inequitieS under the exist
ing Law the proposed law set forth rules
for assessments against lots of irregular
shape, providing that where lot faced
on two streets the assessment would be
only for the first of the two streets
paved, except where the average depth
Of the lot on the second street is more
than 100 feet.
Front-foot Basis Illegal.
The District Court Of Appeals on
April Z, through an opinion on two
cases by Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel,
declared the "front-foot" basis of as
seSSment ur&er the Borland law to be
illegal, and Cancelled levies on the prop
critics.
The court then declared that the
paving assessments presented a vivid
illustration of the impossibility of euui-
tably applying the front-foot rule in as
sessments of property abuttinS on the
avenues of the city. The court. also
pointed out that one of the cases, af-
fecting property on Wisconsin avenue,
presented a condition identical with
that in a case on Rhode Island avenue
that arose several years ago. At that

Matter Of Speculation.
Just what G represents still is mat

this constant of nature is one Of the
few that best deserve the name. It Is
known to be independent of the nature
Of the attracting materials to a pre-
cision of six parts in ten. It is known
to be independent of the temperature to
a precision of about one part in 10000,
and it appears to be unaffected by the
presence of different materials in the
space between the attracting bodies. In
theoretical Importance 1t ranks with the
velocity of light
In Einstein's theory of gravitation it
appears in the formula for the curva-
ture of space due to the density of the
distribution of matter Practically this
constant is of Importance because it
enables us to determine the mean
density of the sun and of the other
planets of the solar system. It undoubt-

ton that this constant Of attraction,
determined between two bodies on the
earth's surface, also remains constant
over such q vast extent of space as
stretches between the earth and the
sun.
Little Practical Importance.
1.-THE arbitrary nature of this as
SUMPTION" he says, becomes clear
when, following Einstein, we regard
gravitation as due to space curvature
arising from the presence Of matter.
We are, in fact, assuming space every
where to be equally resistant to defor-
nation. We do know that the constant
Of gravitation is approximately the
same at several points on the earth's
surface, but we do not know that the
same will hold true for different radii,
as between the earth and the moon, or
even between the center and the sur
face of the earth.
But II we are wrong in this as
sumption it is of little practical i'm
portance Our estimates of the masses
of the heavenly bodies might be in
error, yet their mutual attraction and
relative motions would still be the same.
However, in the case of body moving
in a very long elliptical orbit. such as a
periodic comet, there might be a small
differential perturbation from this
cause.

dence that our estimate of the mass of
the sun, at least. is not grossly err
roneous. The EirlStein shift of the lines

Col. F. A. Pope Of Washington Pos

The anniversary Of the landing of

which was celebrated in washington
yesterday, called attention to one local
resident who has perhaps. the largest
number of forbears who came over on

Col Francis Amory Pope, U. S. A.,
who resides at the Mayfiower Hotel, was
revealed by his friends as possessing SO
lines of direct Mayflower descent. If
there are any others claiming more
lines, they are unaware of it.
Col. Pope's lineage includes this
amazing record:
Direct descendant in the ninth gen.
