to hold the soil from washing away
and providing green manure for

Tomatoes that fail to ripen by
frost time may be harvested and laid
away on shelves in the cellar, where
they will gradually take on color and
become fairly desirable for eating.
However, the finest tomatoes are
those ripened on the vines in the
garden.
Winter varieties Of squash are
generally harvested before fully ripe
and are therefore a disappointment
to the consumer. The squash that is

but after he became accustomed to
the Job, Weisz said the task became
easier. Because he insisted in build
ing the walls of uncut field stone with
some rough quarried rock mixed in,
experts told him he was facing vir-
tually impossible task. They said the
walls would not prove satisfactory, as
Weisz used the Italian dry wall type

rocks into position without aid.
When cold weather arrived last year
Weisz and his wife moved into town

Spring this year to put finishing

of the roof. During the Summer the
artist moved his permanent home to
the uncompleted house.

Now Weisz has finished and par

been set in for this. He will have as

A feature Of the house that is
considered extremely unorthodox by
builders Is the manner in which WeiSz
has planned to make the cellar He
dug for the basement walls and poured
in the concrete, but has delayed the
actual digging of this part until the
section above ground is finished. He
left large holes through which he can
shovel the excavated earth.

To add modern features to the

REALTY SPEAKERS
.LAUD WASHINGTON
Property for investment and
Housing Disclosed
at Meeting.

Nearly $50 realtors gathered in the
Mayfiower Hotel Wednesday night for
the first Fall meeting Of the Washing
ton Real Estate Board, heard speakers
praise Washington property for in
vestment and explain the workings Of
the Federal Housing Administration.
Following the meeting there was
entertainment by Matt Horn and
George O'Connor, comedians, and an
elaborate buffet supper.
Morton Luchs, prominent Capital
realtor, told the members Of the busi-
ness that the public has been turning
to Washington real estate for invest
ment purposes noticeably during the
last year. Heedeclared that through
the depression the home has proven
one of the finest investments person
in this city could make" If paid for.
or nearly so, Luchs continued, the
house in Washington has not been
affected by depreciation in value as
have stocks and bonds.
Realty Sales Large.
During the last three or four months,
Luchs said, the sales Of real estate
have been large as far as the small in
vestor is concerned. He said this &C
tivity on the part Of the small in
vestor started about year ago.
Luchs predicted that within COM
paratively short time there will be
large real estate sales in the city. He
has been apprised Of the fact, he
added, that large interests and corpo-
fations are looking to Washington as
a place to invest their money. He
added the prediction that the next
Frank watson, assistant general
counsel for F. H. A., stated that the
purpose of his organization was to
"put a rock bottom under the real
estate market" He said that before
the Better Homes Campaign was
started. five of nine million unemployed
in the country were connected directly
or indirectly with the construction
and real estate business.
After touching briefly on the mod
ernization phase Of the housing act,
Watson devoted time to Title 2 and
to the proposed Government charter
ing of national mortgage associations.
He declared that under Title equal
emphasis will have to be placed on
financing new construction and ex-
isting mortgages. The present mort
cages will have to be Strengthened out.
he added, before new construction
can start on any considerable basis.
He said that the mortgager will be
able to get better terms and rates
under the Government program.
Standard for Mortgage.
Watson said one of the principal
jobs of the Housing Administration
will be to standardize the long time
amortized mortgage. The present sys-
tenn of renewals, he continued, has
been proven unfair and even vicious
in times of economic depression.
Title of the housing act provides
for the chartering of national mort
gage associations similar to the ma
tional banking law. After explaining
that the associations will be capital
lied at $1,000, 900 and will be used to
throw capital where needed. Watson
said the Government purpose was to
get the slump out Of the building
business" and to have it move steadily
upward.

HANEY SCORES
METHOD Of
RELIEF
By LEWIS HANEY

University
There is an important distinc'
ton, which is too often forgotten
these days, namely, that between
The Washington times., 1934-11-12

resent human distress which re-
suits from unemployment.
In order to relieve" unemploy'
ment, it is necessary to cure NAL
adjustments in business, and to
give business men chance 10
earn profits. This takes time.
But in order to relieve the
unemployed, we have to give
food and clothes Tor the money
with which they can be bOughD
to persons who cannot get work.
This is a matter of immediate
distress.
The Washington times., 1934-11-12

This is a matter of immediate
distress.
I think that one Of the most
DANGEROUS mistakes we make is TO
mix these two things, and to talk
about relieving unemployment
AS a matter of fact, you cannon
possibly "relieve" unemployment
You can cure the conditions which
cause it. But that is all. You can'
however, relieve the unemployed
and that is all that one can do IN
a direct way.
It follows that relief expendi-
tures should be confined to the
temporary aid given to unem-
ployed persons who are in need:
Most emphatically we should lot
mix such relief up with plans to
assist business recovery and en-
plOyment.
Yet how many times we hear
talk about relieving unemploy-
ment," Inevitably this motion
heads up in some plan to create
ions or make work" And that
usually results in doing unpro1lE
able and wasteful things.
Furthermore, it usually means
putting politics into business be-
cause men cannot give employ
ment unless the work is prOduc-
tive and brings in earnings.
Thus, the 5O-called "relief OF un'
employment" leads the govern
ment into business, and that
means politics.
What we should do, then, IS 10
give relief to the needy unem'
ployed. This we should do OIL
rectly and as cheaply as can de-
Gently be done.
Then we should seek to make
business conditions such that
business men can make profits.
they then can and will offer
nlenty of employment to the un-
employed.
In my opinion, the unemployed
do have a right to relief" from
their Government, in proportion
to their real needs. But they do
not have any right to employ
ment."
employment" is matter OF
productive work which earns IN,
come. If the Government should
undertake to furnish employment
it would become the great EN-
ployer, and would be soclallst
state. It would replace business
men, and politics would dominate
over economics.
This, I think, is the great
danger of our present loose
thinking about "relief."
