Park Assures Good View
From Model Home

Many people are inspecting the
Herald Model Home in Battery
Park, Md, facing an attractive
triangular park filled with flow
ers and shrubs, which, assures the
owner that no future building
can ever interfere with the charm

living room or the large screened
side porch with it's delightful
southern exposure.
Every construction detail of this
Model Home is of the most sub
Stantial character. The founda-

thickness and the walls treated
with United States waterproofing

in June urged that real estate
taxes be cut 20 per cent, and
which will present to the Com

fully studied plan for the reor'

"Ir 1920 real estate owners

not pay over one-half of the
total taxes levied in the District
even this amount was too large.

UNDERNRA
BY LEWIS HANEY
professor Of Economics, New York
University

UnlVeFBityD
The recent resignation Of Prof.
William F.. Ogburn from the Con-
sumers' Advisory Board Of NRA
should emphasize a very impor-
tant point. This point is that
price fixing must be an essential
part of any scheme Of industrial
control.
Two Problems Created
When the Government under.
takes to control production or to
allow groups Of producers to do
so, it runs up against two prob.
lens. One is tJe problem Of pre-.
venting prices from rising so high
that the quantity demanded will
fall and consumers be injured.
The other is the problem of
maintaining workable relations
among the prices Of different
commodities, and between prices
and costs Of production.
Prof. Ogburn's resignation is a
recognition Of these facts.
Consumers Unprotected
He charges that consumer in.
terests are not being duly pro.
tected, and states that indexes Of
prices and purchasing power must
be developed, and the codes be
carefully watched. Some Of the
codes provide for no reporting
service which would make this
possible.
You see. all freely determined
prices are the result of demand
and supply conditions. The de-
mand, which depends upon the
desires and purchasing power of
consumers. is just as important
as the supply.
If you control only the supply,
you fail to control at least half
of the pricemaking conditions.
Holds Price Fixing Inevitable
More than that, any fixed
price, whether the fixing Is done
by the Government or by busi.
ness men, affects both demand
and supply. If the price is too
high, it is more than consumers
are willing or able to nay, and
sales fall off. Also it may give
producers so large a profit that
they will produce more than they
can sell.
The administration Of MIRA
seems to be fully alive to the diff.
culties and danger Of Government
price fixing.
But if we go ahead with the
experiment" of industrial con-
troll, prices must inevitably be
fixed and controlled.

COTTON CLIMBS
1915 POINTS

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 G.N.s),
Taking their cue from the action
of grains at Chicago, cotton fu-
lures scored gains ranging to rs
cents a bale in today'S short Ses-
sion.
A good demand from the trade,
commission houses, Liverpool and
Wall Street more than offset
scattered hedge and Southern
selling. Profit taking on the ad-
vance was readily absorbed.
Closing prices were up 10 to IS
points with october up 10 at
$40, December up 10 at 9.61,
January up 13 at 9.74, March up
IS at $50, May up 13 at 1905,
July up 13 at 1919.
Cotton prices declined an
average Of ten points during the
week ending August 18, the week
ly review Of the agricultural
economics stated today.
The average price for middling
seven-eights inch cotton was 800
cents per pound August II, COM
pared with 8.99 cents August II
and TIL on the corresponding
day last year.
Exports this season, up to
August 18, amounted to about
$50, 900 bales compared to approx
mately 266,000 bales for the same
period last year.

strumentS for. There IS no heat
from the General Electric range.
This is made apparent by the
fact that during the winter the
window panes are often frosted
when the gas range is used, made
of course by the heat of the
range against the inside of the
window and cold air on the out
side. In the all-electric kitchen
this never happens.

home includes a General Elec-
trio Monitor top all-steel refriger-
ator. The new General Electric
refrigerators have every convent
ence imaginable; sliding shelves,
door foot pedal, greater ice freez-
ing capacity and the most beau
tiful of designs. Besides that,
there is more storage space than
in the average refrigerator and
the cost of operation is tar be-
low that of certain other makes.
Porcelain sink includes a General
Electric dish washer which again
adds to the time-saving factor.

GRAIN ADVANCE
LED BY CORN

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 G.N.S0.
Led by a maximum advance in
corn, grains bounded upward on
the Board of Trade. Strong buy
ing poured into the pits after
an easier opening and prices
shot up swiftly with December
corn touching So cents, a gain
Of 4 cents.
Belief among traders that daily
price limitations may soon be
removed or lberalized furnished
the chief incentive for the broad
buying movement.
At mid-seSsion wheat was 2H
to 29sc higher, corn 2 to 23sc up,
oats IA to 15sc higher and rye
2A to Sac advanced.
Heavy profit taking was evi-
dent on bulges, but offerings were
rather well taken despite slug
giShnesS in outside markets,
Liverpool wheat closed 1h to
1bd lower. Winnipeg was %
to Zee higher.
Continued unfavorable weather
conditions throughout the belt
aided the rise in corn.
Estimated carlot receipts were:
Wheat, 26; corn, SO, and oats, 40.

DISTRICT HELD
LAP AHEAD IN
RECOVERY
Capital Suffers Fewer Scars
From Slump, Says Board;
Realty Reviving

Washington, during the eco
nomic debacle, has suffered fewer
scars and, in the process Of re
covery, the city is now a full lar
ahead of any other municipality
Of it's class in the United States
says the Washington Real Estate
Board, citing as authority this
weeks report of Charles A. Jones
local head if the Home Owners
Loan Corporation.
The statement of the board
says:
"The appearance of mObs and
distressed home owners was an.
ticipated with the opening of
the Home Loan COrpOratiin Of
flee. The mObs appeared, but
they were made up largely Of
jObseekers.
There is no intent to deny
that there were and are plenty
of distressed home owners. The
fact remains, however, that at
last reports there were only 416
qualified applicants for home
finance relief in the city.
Real Achievement
'Tn the two weeks of its ex,
istence the Home Owners Loan
Corporation averted foreclosure
on some 60 mortgages, it has
been reported. This, in itself,
although foreclosures go on
daily, is a distinct achievement.
Here, We believe, is evidence
that the District is favored
above all other cOmmOnwealthS
in this reconstruction era.
Moreover, reductions from
the Federal service have vir-
tually ceased, the employment
of outside help to conduct gov
ernmental and private enter
prises grows daily, the city has
whOle-heartedly accepted the
NRA, extending employment
to thousands of formerly idle
persons, prices rise all along
the line and especially in the
market for building materials,
there are no labor troubles or
other industrial woes.
REALTY RECOVERING
"Real estate values, under
some unmerciful pounding,
have shown surprising strength.
Real estate securities have re-
established themselves in lead
ership. The values Of F Street
business properties are, for ex-
ample, higher today than they
were in 1926.
"The same may he said for
business properties in many
other sections of the city, and
for residential properties as
we'll. Apartment houses, which
In ordinary years would be de-
serted at this season, are re-
porting rentals brisk. Many
members of Congress have taken
additional space to their suites
on Fifteenth and Sixteenth
Streets in anticipation of q
busy winter. Hotels of the bet
ter sort are overflOwing and
retail stores report unusual ac-
tivity for this period of the
year."

Jobs and PayrOllS Gain
Reports of gains in employment
and higher payrollS now are being
received from all parts of the
country, instead of being con-
fined to the industrial centers of
the East and Middle West, from
which such encouraging news
emanated largely during July.
Reports from some Of the agri-
cultural regions are less encourag-
ing because of crop reductions by
drought and high temperatures,
but much Of this loss will be
counterbalanced by the higher
commodity values.
The delay in perfecting codes
of fair competition is exerting a
retarding influence on the rate
Of activity in a number of in
duStries.
Records Are Cumulative
With each succeeding week
more and more of the small in

country enter the group showing
gains over the 1882 and 1881 fig
ureS.
The extent of the upward
movement since March is dis

for the major trades and for en-

revealed gains seven times larger
than those set down for the same
