presidents conference Of the National
Association of Building Owners and
Managers, held at the Union League
Club. Chicago. recently, Robert C.

House Division of the national asso-

There is a real need" said Mr..
Saunders. "for information on the
determination Of operating costs and
for standard method of accounting.
At the present time there is consider
able confusion, due to the fact that
some operating costs are based on
rooms, while others are based on rent
able area. 1t is the intention of the
Apartment House Division during 1885
to give considerable study to these two
subjects. and we hope that We will be
able to present at the June conven-
ton in Cincinnati a most comprehen-
sive report on these problems. the
solution Of which is of the utmost
Importance to U.s."
Other speakers on the program were
Earle Shultz of Chicago, who covered
the subject of overlapping codes. Mr.
Shultz pointed out that briefs had
been filed on behalf of the national
association at AZ area agreement

USE OF WATERPROOF
WALLPAPER SPREADS
Theater and Churches as Well as

ture a Boon.

Waterproof wallpaper that can be
washed with soap and water is re-
ported by interior decorators to be
boosting sales Of this material.
Advantages of a washable wall
covering are obvious for the bath
room. kitchen and playroom. But
motion picture theaters have discov-
cred its value for lobbies, Railways
and rest rooms, while churches also
have found it suitable especially for
their social parlors.
Use of this type of wallpaper is not
confined, however, to places where

chase an economical investment for

INJUNCTION ASKED
AGAINST WALLACE
Chicago Stock Yard Brokers
Against Interference Under
New Rate Schedule.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, November 1.-Two hun
dred brokers at the Chicago Union
Stock Yards have filed petition for
an injunction in the United States
District Court to restrain Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace and other Gov
ernment officials from interfering with
collections under proposed new COM
mission rate schedule.
The brokers cited powers granted
them under the packers and stock
yards act of 1921 to set up their own
rates and schedules.
Under the act the brokers were
forced to proceed under the new rate
schedule despite the fact that Secre-
tary Wallace refused last october .
to approve the new rates, the petition
stated 1t further set forth that the
brokers must proceed under the law,
but were subject to civil penalties by
the Secretary if they do collect the
higher commission rates.
The new increased rates, the peti-
ton said, we're fixed in "self-preserIa-
ton" because the brokers' receipts
have fallen to the lowest in many
years

the influence of liquor, the penalty
provides for a fine up to $500 or i'm
prisonment for six months. or BOTH
In many cases, he said, the offense
of reckless driving is even more
serious.
Nelson referred in his recommen-
dation to a recent case in which a
man was convicted of reckless driv-
ing and the judge suggested at first
that he be given 90-day straight
Jail sentence. When informed this
was impossible, he then questioned
whether he could impose both a fine
and Jail sentence and when the
answer was in the negative, he was
forced to sentence the man to serve
only 80 days in Jail.
