YOU WOULD HAVE
TO WRECK
THE COUNTRY

THE past year has seen some remarkable,
astounding fluctuations in commodity
prices. Decreases as high as so and IS
per cent have been recorded. However,
one form of national wealth has suffered
comparatively little. To materially affect
it you would have to wreck the country.
True, in some few communities, un-
warranted bOOms have resulted in inflated
prices, with consequent collapse. But
THE GREAT MASS AND BULK OF REAL
ESTATE throughout the countryside
very foundation of our national wealth.
HAS BEEN COMPARATIVELY UN-
TOUCHED by the drastic price recessions
in other forms of national wealth. 1t
remains untrOubled in time of business
decentralization.

gram of activities designed to promote
better architectural developments in
the National Capital.

In Greater washington, the Shipstead
bill for regulation Of private buildings

ton and several other cities have copied

active campaign against DETACHMENT of
the approaches of Washington by sign
boards.

Unfortunate as has been the experience
of the past year, we can at least learn one
lesson from it: The sOundest form of i'm
vestment for today and for the future is
real estate. For the individual this begins
with home ownership.
To those who prefer the comforts and
cOnVeniences of apartment residence (and
new home construction figures in Wash
ington indicate that 1919 dO), Tilden Gar
dens offers that rare combination of ideal
location, beautiful surroundings, splendid
homes, service of the smartest apartment
hotel, TOGETHER WITH SUBSTANTIAL
SAVINGS AND ECONOMIES.

REALTY APPRAISAL
GROUP BUSY IN 1880
Values Placed by Board Com
mittee on 233 Properties
Worth $4,S63, 3Os.

One Of the prominent features Of
the work of the washington Real Es-
tate Board during the past year has
been the activity of its appraisal COM
mittee, which has appraised 23S prop
critics, having total value of 81, 863, 308.
This is greatly in excess of the totals
for 1929, when 81 properties, valued at
$2,s12,463, were appraised. The num-
Der OF properties appraised this year Is
greater than during any year since
1916, when the committee was organ
lied. and in only four years since 1915
has the total Of appraiSalS exceeded the
figure for this year.
Rust Is Chairman.
The committee is headed by H. l..
Rust, jr., and includes Waverly Taylor,
John F. Maury, William L. King, George
Y. Worthington, jr.; r. Marbury Stamp
and John T. Meany.
During the year the board entered
into an agreement with the Office of the
United States attorney, under which
notices to property owners of violations
of prohibition laws by tenants have
been expedited. This was done by the
board in the interest of protecting prop
erty owners against paddock proceed
ingS resulting from acts of tenants Of
which they had no control. The own
erShip files of the board were made
available to the prosecutor so that
property owners might be notified and
warned of illegal acts Of tenants.
County Atlas Being Published.
An atlas of Montgomery County, sim
liar to one for the District used by real
estate operators, Is being published
through arrangements made this year
by the board.

ply the public with information regard
ing real estate matters, through the
free service bureau conducted by John
A. Petty, secretary of the board.
Inquiries regarding many phases Of
real estate business have come by tele--
phone, letter and personal calls, and
Mr.. Petty estimates that during the
past 10 years 10000 queries have been
answered.
Legislation Studied.
The board made an extended study
during the year of proposed legislation
affecting real estate business, and Is
on record favoring the Capper bill, de-
signed to control dealers in securities,
rather than blue-sky legislation which
would control the securities themselves.
The board was recognized during the
year, board of directors being created
in place of the former Executive Com
mittee. The officers of the board are
Arthur Carr, president; j. F. M Bowie,
first vice president, and John P. Story,
Jr, second vice president. The officers

tons, go over their books, investigate
their methods and look over their
officers.
This growth made necessary the or
ganization Of a national body to handle
the many matters that these aSsocia-
tons had in common throughout the
country, and the United States Building
and Loan League was set up in 1893 in
Cincinnati.
Grown now out Of the back parlors
where such associations met in the early
days, the national body undertook to
assist In placing these organizations on
the same status as other great American
businesses. State leagues Of such asso-
Citations also had been organized pre-
vious to this time. and have also con-
ttnued to aid in the present growth OF
this plan.

Rev. Bauer proceeded to explain the different phases of happiness. Happiness consists of three parts , he said. 'First-that which we find in such games as have just been played, associates, and in general, physical happiness; sscond-joy as secured through ones aesthetic sense, as for example, the pretty decorations, lights and cheerful thoughts and memories; third blessings which were best of all, those of health, homes, work and friends"
 When midnight arrived, all joined hands in a circle and sang Blessed Be the Tie that Binds" An exten- sion table, fully extended, was drawn to the center of the room, piled with salads, sandwiches, cakes and cookies to which all did ample justice. Hot coffee was also served.
 Thursday evening the Presbyter- ian church held New Year service in the school and Friday evening the local Salvation Army held New Year service.
 Today all traces of festivities were removed and the school put in or der for the term which begins Mon day
