BACK COMPULSORY
.TAX|CAB INSURANCE
Chamber Directors Declare
Liability Essential to
Public Safety.

Declaring the proposed compulsory
liability insurance act covering taxi
cabs Is essential to the public safety"
the board of directors of the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce at their
June meeting yesterday Endorsed the
action of the Public Utilities Commis-
sion in recommending enactment Of
the legislation.
The action of the directors Of the
trade body is In line with previous
stands taken by the chamber and by
the Citizens Joint Transportation Com
mittee in placing stress on the impor-
tance of the taxicab accident situation.
The increasing accident rate, involving
cabs whose operators are not in a po-
sition to indemnify injured persons, has
attracted attention of other cities, the
chamber says, and some Of the coun-
try's leading newspapers have COM
mented editorially on the traffic "chaos"
here.
A resolution expressing appreciation
to Senator King of Utah and Repre-
sentative Harlan of Ohio for introduc-
ing bills to grant local regulation of
rate increases for workmen's compensa-
ton insurance was adopted
The legislation, prepared by the
corporation counsel at the request OF
the chamber, would authorize the Dis
trict superintendent of insurance to
pass upon the reasonableness of such
rate increases subject to appeal to the
courts.
The chamber pointed out that 10000
in compensation insurance rates unless
prompt action is taken Although SINH
lar rate increase proposals have been
modified or denied by insurance au-
thorities In other States, the District
now lacks the power to regulate these
rates.

tion directing the Public Utilities Com
mission to continue during the recess
of Congress the investigation of rental
conditions in Washington in order to
furnish the latest available informa-
tion to the Senate when 1t reconvenes
next January
The resolution was sponsored by
Senator Capper, Republican, of Kan
Sas, and was adopted with an amend
ment by Senator King, Democrat, OF
Utah, authorizing the commission ito
receive and adjust complaints" regard
ing rents. Since it is not a joint reso-
luton, it does not have to go to the
House. nor does it require signature of
the President.
Chairman King of the District Com
mittee plans to bring in another reso-
luton before the session ends to make
available $4,000 to cover the cost of
continuing the rent study during the
recess.
The Capper resolution directs and
empowers the Utilities Commission ito
investigate all facts relating to the cost
and character of housing in rented
premises in the District Of Columbia

call witnesses, records and accounts in
the same manner as provided for the
performance of the duties of the COM
mission with respect to public utilities.

tee which held hearings on rental and
housing problems during the last ses-
sion of Congress, and submitted re-
port recommending number Of changes
In law. Bills to carry out the recon-
mendations have not yet been intro
duced.

belief it would not be possible to con-
slider such legislation at this session,

GOLDEN CIDER FLOOD, TOO MUCH
LIKE CHAMPAGNE, IS POURED OUT
Sparkling Beverage Flows Into Cutters to Make Way for
Heurich's Legal Beer.

A golden cascade foamed into sewers
at Christian Heurich Brewery yesterday
as spiggots were opened in huge casks
containing $4,000 gallons of cider which
had become too much like champagne
during the 16 years it aged in the wood.
While his board of directors looked
on in mute sympathy, 90-year-old
Christian Heurich, president of the
brewery, opened the taps which started
the flow on its way to the cutters.
The sparkling cider was sacrificed be-
cause the alcoholic content was too high
to come under the 80 per cent law. and
the casks were needed for the brewing
of legal beer.
Rather than dilute the cider, Mr..
Heurich decided to dump it.. although
more than $100, 900 worth Of apples
went into the preparation of the
beverages. Mr.. Heurich had the cider
made after the District went dry in 1917.
The beer casks were steamed and
vanished TO kill the yeast cells soaked

into the wood, and the cider was
treated to prevent fermentation. These
precautions were not adequate, however.
When the champagne qualities
of the cider were discovered. the Treas
ury Department under special ruling
nj 1920 allowed the brewery two weeks
to dispose of the beverage.
A great trek Of Washingtonians
turned toward the brewery, bearing
bottles. jugs and kegs, and going on
foot. by bicycle, truck and pleasure car.
Only half of the supply could be dis
posed of in the time allowed, despite
the demand
During the intervening years the
cider has aged in a cellar kept at a
constant temperature Of 35 degrees
Those who witnessed the opening of
the casks yesterday included the follow
ing members of the board of directors

jr.; Alexander H. Bell, r. H. Marhart,

was no more than their due. Bailey
made the discovery on an inspection
round and sent for the departments
bee expert, S. Pope of Engine Company
No. 6.
He and Pope removed the honey, but
the fire alarm box still was sweet To-
cation for the bees, which refused to
leave at first.
Pope, the expert, explained they
must find the queen bee before her
followers could be persuaded to inhabit
a new location.
At a late hour they are still hunting
the queen and hoping no one would
need to pull .the alarm in the mean
time.
They are Italian bees, Pope said. and
any one rushing in to pull the box while
they are around would think he had
grabbed fye-alarm fire.

GREAT ERA SEEN
FOR REAL ESTATE
National Boards Head Says
Swing Toward Improve
ment Has Begun.

william c. Miller, president Of the
National Association Of ReN Estate
Boards, and member of the local realty
firm Of w. c. g. A. N. Miller, believes
! this country Is approaching the great
est era of real estate stability in its
history
Pointing to what he describes as a
decided swing toward greater activity
| and better rates, Mr.. Miller does not
believe that prices will soar to the
heights reached during previous boom
periods, but will attain level which
will be healthy for all concerned" he
says.
Reports Are Optimistic.
Reports from all parts Of the ccun-
try indicate that an improvement in
the realty situation is in progress" Mr..
Miller asserts. Interest in realty Is
being revived and this interest Is being
displayed not only among real estate
men, but by investors of all types.
I'm Washington, as elsewhere In the
country, inquiries for homes and all
other varieties Of property are reported
on the increase and the general tone Of
the market throughout the United
States Is better than 1t has been for a
long time"
Mr.. Miller is OF the opinion that the
real estate business will return to nor
malcy without the aid of boom" ac-
tivities. "Booms," he said. "have their
aftermaths, which are detrimental to
business. I do not believe boom is
pending, but real estate is gradually
getting back to where it was when
times were naturally and substantially
good"
Tight Credit Hindrance.
Tightening OF credit, more than any
other element, Is hindering a more
rapid return to nor7nalcy. the president
of the realtors organization feels. How
ever, 1oosening of credit will be ex-
perienced, he says, when activity or
proposed activity becomes more pro-
nounced. Bankers will be forced 10
the realization that real estate Is the
worlds greatest basic commodity and
as such is good investment medium"
Mr.. Miller declares.
Throughout the country today a
greater sense Of security and conf
dence IS being felt. This Is esreci-
ally apparent with respect to real es-
tate"

Selection in Star Series
Makes Neighborhood
e Harmony Count.
LONG, LOW STYLE
SUITED TO GROUNDS
Six-Panel Doors of Mahog-
any and White Pine Wood
work Used Throughout.

= IMPLE, dignified Colonial archi-
lecture, designed to harmonize
with dwellings in a neighbor-
~ hood where this style is pre-
dominant, marks the third home
design selected by the Washington
chapter of the American Institute of
Architects for presentation in the
series being sponsored Jointly by the
chapter and The Star.
The house illustrated here today was
designed by Maurice S. May, Washing
ton architect, for his own residence.
Planned for a specific location, the
architectural motif is intended to be
in keeping with surrounding homes.
Long, Low Design.
Because the lot selected was very
wide on the street front, but shallow
in depth, a long. low house, stretching
out along the street frontage, was de-
signed. The main part Of the house
is of red Colonial brick, with a two
car garage Of frame construction at
tached The opposite end Of the dwell
ing Is balanced off with an open porch.
An unusual arrangement has been
worked out in the living room Of this
house, which Is located on its street
side. The fireplace is on the inside
wall, and the stairway to the second
floor is in an alcove nearby Arched
of from the living room, this plan
presents a decorative feature for the
room without encroaching on its
space. Built-in book cases and wood
cornice complete the living room plan.
The dining room, which In the in
stance of Mr.. Mays home will face
south, has glass doors opening off onto
brick terrace This terrace overlooks
the rear garden.
The second-foor plan Of the home
includes four rooms and three baths.
They are the master bed room, with
private BATH guest room, a small
room over the garage. which may be
used as a den, and an extra room in
tended for a servants bed room.
The roof construction is Of heavy
slate, Of unfading green's and grays.
A large attic extends the length of
the house. adequately insulated for
storage purposes.
Basement Arrangement.
The basement, extending under the
main portion of the house, has
laundry and boiler room, in addition
to provision for large recreation room.
Six-panel Colonial doors, with ma
hogany finish, are used throughout.
All other woodwork is to be Of white
pine, painted white.
The house, which would be well
suited for a lot having 80 to 100 foot
frontage, and depth Of rs to 100
feet, may be built in Washington at
current prices of labor and materials
for between $4,000 and $1,000, the
architect estimates. It's overall meas
urements are SO feet wide and % feet
deep. The cubical content is $4,000
cubic feet.
If built of frame construction, the
architect points out that saving in
cost could be accomplished.
