The Bureau of Labor Statistics
bulletin states: Instead of rents in
creasing. it is the general experience
that monthly charges for co-opera-
tive housing decrease each year
"Co-operative housing associations
are as truly limited in dividend as
limited dividend corporations. Con-
sequently, cooperative housing as
sociations in building low-cost hous-
ing could probably so organize as to
qualify for Government insurance of
their mortgage. They could thus
eliminate Junior financing, secure a
lower rate of interest and a longer
amortization period than cooperative
housing associations have heretofore
had available. Accordingly, tenants
monthly payments for interest and
amortization would be lower than
previously possible"

TO HEAR
SCHMIDT TUESDAY
Three Major Movements of
Concern to Investors
Is Topic.

Three major movements of imme-
diate concern to investors in real es-
tate will be discussed in an address
before the washington Real Estate
Board Tuesday night in the Mayf1ower
Hotel, at 8 o'clock, by Walter S.
Schmidt. president of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
Mr.. Schmidt. whose address is one
of the first to be given since his
induction into the national realtor
presidency, will deal with:
/. Rehabilitation of the real estate
mortgage structure, including measures
still urgently needed for permanent
sterilization of real estate mortgage
credit.
Mortgage Unit Urged.
The association is urging that Con-
greSS at the present session create a
Federal mortgage agency, which might
be set up as part of the Federal
Reserve System, under regulation of
the Federal Reserve Board, or which
might be otherwise integrated with
the present Federal agencies con-
cerned with the financing of real
estate. It asks that this agency. how
ever created have the power to dis
count all sound mortgages without re-.
course This would include the power
to buy sound mortgages from the
members of the Federal Reserve Sys-
TEN, under regulation of the Federal
Reserve Board.
2. Proposed action in at least 35
States for modernization of State and
local tax structures to give effective
real estate tax relief.
Major action, on fairly uniform
plan already taken by Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan and a number of other
States in line with the program advo-
Gated in the association, has already
resulted in these States in reducing
real estate taxes an average of 23.5
per cent.
Need for UnificatiOn.
8. Urgent present need for real
estate owners over the country to unite
effectively with organized real estate
boards in way which will give effec-
tive voice against further entrance of
Government ino the real estate busi-
ness in such way as would be in
volved in direct Government con-
struction and operation of housing
projects.
The association holds that control
and maintenance of the national
credit structure is properly a gov
ernmental duty. 1t protests, however,
against the assumption by Govern
ment of functions which can best be
performed by private persons and
private business. The Government, it
holds, should not become landlord to
its own citizens by engaging in con-
struction, renting and sale of real
estate, or assume the functions of
real estate men in land development.
in appraising and in the servicing of
loans.
Tax Savings Cited.
Annual savings to real estate tax
payers in States which have enacted
constitutional or other limitations on
the total tax rate leviable against real
estate, and which are now drawing on
tax base notably wider than the
obsolete and inequitable general
property tax are cited by the asso-
citation as follows:
Indiana, s42, 600 600: Michigan, S38,-
100000; Ohio, S50,OOO,0OO; West Vir-
ginia, S2O,000,O00; Washington, $780,

ELM DISEASE A MENACE
TO TREES IN MARYLAND
Loss Threatened if Germ Is Not
Eradicated in Two Years,
Pathologist Warns.

Unless the disease is eradicated in
the State within the next two years
Maryland is threatened with loss of
its elm trees through Dutch elm dis
ease in much the same manner that it
lost 1t chestnut trees a few years
ago, according to C. E. Temple.
pathologist for the University of
Maryland Extension Service.
Mr.. Temple said that since the dis
ease was introduced into this country
in 1880 nearly 5000 infected trees
have been reported and the disease
has been found as far north as
Massachusetts,, as far west as In
diana and as far south as Virginia.
Dutch elm disease was first reported
in Maryland on tree at Fort Nc
Henry and the disease was definitely
traced to a shipment of logs that
came into Baltimore Harbor from
Europe. No case has been reported in
the State since 1888, but all nursery
men and landowners are warned to
keep an eternal vigilance for the dis
ease.

National Association Head
Holds New Surfaces
Restore Confidence.

There Is no sounder investment and
no better way to make our dollars
work for us than by beautifying and
protecting our home, according to
Ernest T. Trigg, president of the
aNtional Paint, Varnish and Lacquer
Association.
Painters and decorators. Mr.. Trigg
believes, are rendering a service to
home owners second to none Not
only does new paint protect surfaces
against depreciation, Mr.. Trigg says,
but it serves in great measure to re-
store confidence and optimism.
Just as the knowledge that he is
well dressed gives a man assurance"
MIR. Trigg points out, "a home that
is well painted and we'll cared for
gives him faith in himself and the
future. Another important factor to
be considered is that the public is
always ready to Judge by appearances
and likes to do business with the
man who appears successful
Threat TO Reputation.
"A house or store that looks
neglected and is badly in need of
paint tells the world that its owner
is either unsuccessful and financially
crippled or that he is poor business
man who doesn't properly protect his
investments"
Just as people are becoming more
conscious of the importance of out
ward appearances, they are also be-
ginning to be wide awake to the
economy of quality merchandise. Mr..
Trigg believes. In the matter of paint,
for instance, Mr.. Trigg points out
that the public is learning by bitter
experience that the best grade paint
products are the cheapest in the long
run. During the worts years of
the depression, many property owners,

to rent the structure before mod

sum. However, within a short time
after the house was renowned as
shown above he was able to rent it
for double the amount originally
asked for it. The job cost nearly
$500, but now DR.. Jaffe possesses

done under supervision of Harvey

Installation Proves Convenient
to Modern Home Owners.

Modern home owners find great
convenience in the installation of a
small telephone nook or closet.
Such installations make possible
the elimination of discomfort of
house noises.
The telephone cabinet or closet
should include a small shelf or table
for the telephone directory and for
writing space. A small bench or chair
Is also a convenient addition. An
electric light may be installed con-
venient to the writing table or shelf
In the closet. The light can be wired

G. B. Shaw Says
White and Blacks
Must mtermarry

London, June IA - George Ber-
nard Shaw, sociologist, dramatist and
playwright, who has recently return
ed from a vacation of several
months In South Africa, threw a
shock into members of his race, that
&c will take them a long time to re-
cover from. Mr.. Shaw advocates
The intermarriage of colored and
white people. Mr.. Shaw says that
questions have arisen as to whether
white people can survive in these
piacss-but he says the question is
whether white descendants will
breed. Going further, he states.
"The white population of Africa
q normally fertile and it might be
thought there would be no difficulty
IN filing up South Africa. But South
Africa does not fill up. 1t is not a
question of birth control, because
many people there are DESTROYS of
having children but do not have
them. I suppose maybe there is too
much sunshine for people with white
skins. A probable remedy is for
khem to darken their skins. This
means in South Africa, by marrying
Bantus."
The famous dramatist also said
that the problem is not confined to
South Africa but extends to a very
large part of the African continent.
