WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22.- George Washington was "whirl- wind wcoer."
 Few of the casual Come on, let's get married7 of today could sur pass his swift proposal to the handsome widow Custis. It was made after only a few days ac- quaintance.
 Of all the cIose-ups of Washing tons character brought to Ameri- cans this year through celebration cf the bicentennial of his birth none is perhaps more human and understandable than his impetuous courtship.
 On his way to Williamsburg capital of Virginia, Washington stopped at Williams Ferry over the Pamunkey river at the home of Major Chamberlayne. The latter urged him to remain over night.
 Thinking of his important busi- ness with the Virginia governor, Washington at first declined. Then the willy major played his trump card
 Said he: The charming widow Custis is a guest at our home.
 That seems to have turned the trick.
 CT course the young Colonel Washington had heard of the at tractive, socially prominent and wealthy widow. She, too, must have been secretly longing te meet the courageous hero of Braddock's Field

 But the dinner hour passed, the sun sank lower and still Washing ten did not appear. Finally he sent wosd o the amazed Bishop to stae,s she horses, for he had de- cid-a to be the overnight guest Of Major Chamberlayne.
 An appealing glance. soft voice had caused the Cclonel to put aside thoughts of business for while.
 The journey to Williamsburg was resumed the next day, reck- oned by historians May 28, 1753. No sooner was his business trans acted than Washington hurried back to the Chamberlayne home to see the widow Custis. This time he stayed several days and when he left on June 5 he had her promise to marry him as soon as his mili- tary service on the Ohio was fin ished The wedding took place on January 6, 1759.

FORMULA SUGGESTED
FOR THE REALTOR'S DAY
Editorial in Official Organ Tells
How Best to Meet Current
Conditions.

An editorial In the current issue of
the Washington Realtor, Official organ
of the Washington Real Estate Board,
suggests to real estate brokers and
real estate statesmen formula for
meeting present day conditions. The
statement reads:
"At the close of the day a self
inventory may indicate the reasons why
we feel either gratified or discouraged
with what the day has brought forth
The following questions may aid us in
this analysis of self:
Have harbored constructive
thoughts, been considerate, courageous
hopeful. sympathetic, and have I really
worked with an abiding faith In the
future? Or have I permitted my
vision to be blurred by thinking
process insufficient to throw off dis
couragement, discomfort, ill-will, lack
of faith in my fellow men or in the
business which is my lifes work?
Have I been tidy in appearance,
punctual in appointments, sincere In
endeavor, or otherwise? Have l be-
lieved in myself and the objective I
aimed TO attain? Have I been true to
fully to see and do the things that are
needful to accomplish results?
These and similar questions should
spur us on to know our business and
to meet its requirements and RESPONSE
bilitieS in serving promptly, efficiently
and with absolute integrity. A full
days work actuated BY these motives
has little time left for discourage
ment"

FREE-L0T SCHEME
WARNING ISSUED
Realtors Official Advises In
dividuaIs to Find Out Real
Cost of "Gift" Land.

Due to the lack Of real estate brokers
come the seat Of activity of number
of 'free-lot' operators, who conduct
their business within existing law"
John A. Petty, executive secretary of
the Washington Real Estate Board, said
today In a public statement.
Through the operation Of license
laws and court actions 1t Is becoming
increasingly more difficult for free-lot
operators to continue in business in
many States" he said.
He advised individuals to obtain ad
vice from the Better Business Bureau,
from banks or the Real Estate Board,
particularly as to the total cost of the
acceptance Of free" lot, before en-
tering into such a transaction.
"Free-lot schemes have been uni
versally condemned by real estate
boards and better business bureaus
throughout the country. The stand
is based on the fact that the methods
and tactics pursued have a tendency
to mislead the public and Investigations
very frequently have revealed losses.
prospective purchasers of lots are
obtained in various ways. Some pro-
moters use the telephone on much the
same basis as high-pressure stock-sell-
ing operators and horse-racing rackets
A battery of telephones is installed
and young women and statesmen spend
practically the entire day in calling
people promiscuously to secure their
interest in obtaining free lot. Others
distribute cards at moving picture
houses and other places Of public as
semblage. These cards indicate that
the holder will win. receive or be
awarded a free lot. Each holder is re-
quested to send in his name and ad-
dress. House-to-house canvass with the
same type of approach also produces
large numbers Of prospects. In each
instance these prospects subsequently
are notified that they are entitled to
receive a lot upon payment of the
necessary costs of preparing the papers,
surveying, title, etc. Very often this
initial charge is in excess Of the value
